THE LOGGING INTEREST. y

The last CleaJield Republican, in speaking
of the result in this county, says -
ssThe reduction in our Tthe Democraticl ma
jority, therefore, in the county, is entirely ow-
ing to the large influx of citizens from other
counties and States. The logging interest con-
tributed largely in this behalf. as is shown by
the vote in Bloom, Decatur, Guelich, Huston
and Morris townships
Now, how does this square with the truth
Is it not we'll known that, so far as this county
is concerned, the sslogging interest" is mainly
controlled by Democrats, some of the largest
log jobs being in the hands of leading mem
bers of the Democratic party And is it not
fact that in Morris, Huston and Decatur, the
Democratic leaders have heretofore relied in
no small degree upon the ''logging interest,"
to keep up their vote The people in those
townships can doubtless testify to this. Mr..
Bowman, of Decatur, the Democratic candi-
date for Auditor, and Mr. Perks, his partner,
are extensively engaged in the log business !;
and yet it is contended that in that township
the Democratic majority was reduced by the
very ''interest' with which one of the candi-
dates of that party is closely identified This,
we think, is ''piling it on a little too strong,"
and we have no idea that the Republican can
gull any sensible man with such stuff and clap
trap as that. We do not pretend to say that
all the log men are Democrats-like in other
branches of business, there are Republicans as
well as Democrats engaged in it. But whilst
we have always endeavored to keep the log
question separate from party politics, it can
not be truthfully denied that in another of the
townships named, very active and radical
Democrat has, in years past, managed to Sc
cure majority to his party by influencing the
men whom he had in his employ.
In relation to the Republicans complaint "a
bout ssthe large influx of citizens from other
counties and States,'' we have but two re-
marks 10 make: First, that citizens from an
other State must be, not less than one year in
Pennsylvania before they are entitled to vote
here-hence it is worse than folly to talk of the
Democratic majority being much ssreduced''
by that element; And second although the
Democratic leaders may regard sscitizens from
other counties" as intruders and as endanger-
ing the ascendancy of their party, we have yet
to learn that there is anything criminal in
such persons settling here for the purpose of
carrying on lawful business, so long as they
do not interfere with the rights and privileges
of others, or assist in producing a nuisance.
We have alluded to this matter only for the
purpose of exposing the desperate means that
the Democratic leaders are resorting to for the
purpose OF keeping up the hopes and courage
of the rank and file of their party.

Among The s.laat cards'' of the Pennsylvania
democracy and which is being extensively cir
culated throughout the State OF New Jersey,
is pretended quotation from s'John NJ. Will
son, one of the Lincoln electors for MassachC-
setts," which made up OF the most
blackguard, beastly abuse of our German ard
Irishi voters, representing them british,
idiotic, drunken, blear-eyed, incapable of in
tellgence, Judgment or decency, &c. There
is of course no such eiector here as John NJ.
Wilson, and Gen. Wilson, whom it was evil
IDENTITY sought to identify with the pretended
extract, was never guilty of such language. 1t

The editor of the Republican, the Democrat
ic organ in this place, persists in saying that
Carl Schurz talked in very naughty manner
about the Declaration of Independence. Why
don't he publish all that portion of Mr. SIS
speech that relates to the subject, and let his
readers judge for themselves of its force 1t
won't occupy more than column of space,
and we can furnish our neighbor the speech
entire, if he has no copy on hand. If he is
sure he is right, the editor of the Republican
shouldn't fear such test. Until he lets his
readers have the ungarbled language of Mr..
Schurz, lie is guilty of wilfully misrepresent-
ing man, who, we believe, is as warmly at
stached to the institutions of our country as
some who make louder professions.

THE EFFECTS OF AID VALoREM DUTIEs.-Wc
find, from an examination of the official re-
ports of the General Government, that during
the last ten years, ending the 30th of June,
1860, there were imported into this country,
of foreign merchandise, the enormous amount
of 81, ,S52, ,731, ,764, and that over and above the
exports from this country, together with the
securities of various States and interpretations
we have exported the sum of $485, ,666 277 IN
SPECIE. With these simple facts before us, is
it not enough to arouse the American people
TO sense of their own rights, and lead them
to take such measures as will protect their
own interests and thereby stop this vast drain
upon their very lIfe-blood, their industry and
their enterprise?
