no lack Of men from among whom honor
able selection can be made, and we are
strong in the faith that the opportunity
will be improved.
Ia looking over the names already
presented-names familiar alike to The
nation and the people of the State-we
have no trouble TO make oar selection,
aud we feel no hesitation to express oul
choice. DAVID WILMoT. the pioneer Of
the principles of the Republican party III
the Halls of Congress, stands out in bold
relief as deserving the honor of leading
in the redemption Of our States honor
and interests from tho disgrace and des.
%olation brought upon them by Blu.
chanan and Biglvr. In demanding this
timely recognition of his right to a seat
in the Senate, Northern Pennsylvania
desires none but honorable competition,
aud proposes no sacrifice Of the claims of
others she only asks that he who was
first to detect and expose the Southern
bias of the Democratic party, and whose
principles then laid down have become
the foundation of the Republican party,
and in the short space Of ten years have
wen TIE support Of a majority Of the
States of the Union-shall be duly award
cd the honor he las so richly won. That
the North is Justly entitled to the seat,
and deserving Of it, too, is beyond a rea-
sonatIe questioning aul who shall the
North CT West present more fit for or
deserving of the honor than David Will
mot? There will be objections to him,
to be sure, as there will also be to any
candidate that may be presented but
those objections are not sufficiently i'm
portant to prevent the recognition of the
many and prodominating qualities in his
favor. lie will not permit his own pc
culiar views of the questions Of the day
to stand in the way of the States we'll
known interests ; neither will he lend his
influence to the benefit of the few at the
sacrifice of the welfare of the majority.
Every true Republican, 10 any section OF
the State or Union, Will rejoice when SC
true a champion of their principles as
David Wilmot shall take his seat in the
Senate of the United States.

EG~ Our cd friend, D. W. C. James,
retired from the Warren LedJer last
week, Mir. Thos. Clemens taking his
place. James valedictory is pungent
and characteristic. He thus talks Of the
Buchanan party:
of the politics of the country is reduced
BY the force of circumstances to mere
sectionalism, we would be worse than in,
fdels did we not side with our own kin
dred. In the present canvass Lincoln
represents northern sectionalism and
Breckenridge the sectionalism Of the
South, and if the contest is confined to
these two, we DO not hesitate to declare
that our sympathies are with the former.
We can, In no event, do an act which
might inUre to the benefit of secession
di>union ticket of Breckenridge and Lane.
We consider them traitors to the goUern-
Dlent, and as such deserve the execra-
tons of ell true patriots. Personally en-
tcrtainlng these views. [ cannot support
the electors named at Reading. Fifteen
Of the twenty-seven have declared that
they were IN favor Of the disunion ticket,
and my arm shall wither before it shall
cast a vote for such nominees"
James is a genial fellow,-life o%urself,
too easy and tender toward delinquents
to succeed we'll in newspaperdom. We
wish him great success as a borer-as we
learn he is going into the Oil business
We hope he will strike a 400 barrel well
that will pump itself for a straight year
without diminution, (of the oil), and have
lots of barrels to put it in.

The greatest obstacle to the supremacy
OF Law 10 the free States, Is the traffic
in intoxicating drinks. There is scarce
a session Of any criminal Court in any
County in our State, that does not wit
ness the trial of some one caused directly
or indirectly by this traffic, aud the pub
lie sentiment in favor of enforcing any
law is constantly washed and undermined
by the advocates and ~apologists Of wins
key selling and drinking,
These men habitually violate ali the
laws of the State on this subject and they
induce their victims to swear falsely in
order to screen then, they employ able
Lawyers to exhaust their talents and in.
genuity in making their conduct respect
able, and thus respect for any law is
weakened.
For if it is in accordance with the obi,
cations every person owes to society to
violate these laws, then it is creditablc to
violate every law. For the laws restrain
ing the business Of drunkard.making, are
the most salutary, and most necessary to
the good order Of society of any that we
have. To undermine and set at defiance
these, is to debauch public sentiment and
make the enforcement of any law a very
difficult t sk.
That the laws against the sale, of IL
toxicating drinks ought to be enforced
every day experience proves. That the
use Of these drinks is the one great source
of crime, few sensible people doubt.
Nearly every exchange that we take
up contains an item in proof Of this state,
ment. We furnish in another column, a
letter from Pike-evidence that ought to
arrest the attention of every man, woman
and child in our county.
We cut from the Chicago COngrega-
honal Herald, the following item and
comments, which are equally convincing.
The Herald introduces It's item in this
way.
The subject has been suggested by an item
of news that comes from Denver City in the
Pixies Peak region. James A. Gordon, a
young man, has there been recently convicted
OF a most revolving murder. In the following
brief paragraph the whole story is told:
Gordon was a native of Boston, but came
to this region Denver City from Council
Bluffs, Iowa, in the fall of 1853, and was one
of tie first settlers in Denver. He is only
twenty-three years old, but is the owner of
considerable property here, and for several
years has contributed largely to the support
Of his aged parents. He had many friends
here, and seems, when sober, to be a young
man of pleasing address and gentlemanly in
Stincts 6ut liquor made him a TEND"
In those last six words there is implied a
life blighted in its very morning hour, a death
of ignominy, and perhaps a soul lost forever.

One of the most enthusiastic crowds ever
assembled in this city, was called together
by days notice in the FoIksbote and Jour
nal, in the northern part of Lamasco, on
Wednesday night. Two Lincoln poles were
raised almost under the shadow of Judge
Laws residence. Speeches were made in
German by Messrs. Lemcke and Wolf1in,
and few remarks in English by John W.
Foster several rousing songs were sung by
the Glee Club, the German Band was out
and played some of its best national airs,
and the huzzas for our candidate were the
most hearty.

The Convention of millers and distillers
met this afternoon at this place. The at
tendance is large, embracing delegates from
Baltimore, New York and Philadelphia in
the East, and from many of the Western
States. President, H. H. Culberston of
Troy Vice President, S. S. Mckee of Up
perSandusky, Ohio; Secretaries, 1. Thatcher
and w. G. Vanderbilt of Cincinnati and S.
B. Riggs of Portsmouth. Mr.. Kellogg of N.
Y. was requested to state the object of the
meeting.
He arose and stated that too much Whis-
ky was made for the business to be profita-
Bile. He said that New York convention
had suggested that the amount be reduced
so if not so per cent. that this reduction
would make distilling good and safe busi-
ness. Mr.. Fowler moved committee of one
from each State be appointed to confer to-
gether and bring business before the meeting.
W. Il. Fl. Dye, of Ohio, H. Lightner, of
Illinois, R. Fowler, of Maryland, G. w.
Kellogg, of New York, and Hoyt Craig of
Pennsylvania were appointed said commit
tee. On motion, A. Wilson was added to
the committee.
The Convention will hold a session this
evening, when the committee is expected
to report the plan of operations, which will
to some extent remedy the difficulties, under
which this class of business men labor.

Trip into Posey.


Tuesdays rising sun shed its rays in peer
less brightness upon two Quixotic members
of the Independent Order of Bachelors, as
at an early hour, they urged their trusty
steed through charming bowers and DER i'm
posing heights and rattle trap bridges to the
seat of Posey County. We noticed crops
along the road looking finely, though many
farmers are beseeching Him who doeth
all things well, that, from the fulIness of
some of these clouds, there may be an out
pouring upon the just as well as the unjust.
Peaches are fine, as two can testify with
out any equivocation or hesitation whatev-
er. In few hours we are at the " Nelson
House" Mt. Vernon. Our dumb animal dis
posed of we went into the presence of his
highness, the Landlord, who, by some of
those " destructive hits " from out that
magazine of wit and humor, kept our frames
in IA continual shake so long as we were con-
strained TO tarry with him.
All guests at friend Nelson's are sure to
feel at home.
In political circles Mr. Nelson is supposed
to be a Breckinridge man, and when he
charges upon the Douglas wing, beware;
fire is in his eye and rancor in his heart
Thus, after listening awhile to a few par
ables from the Democratic Bible, and survey
ing the town generally, we turned our
course homeward, and, as the redeemed
rays OF the declining sun cast lingering
glance Ger hills and valleys, we entered the
" Crescent City ere we were aware of
our near approach-so deeply engaged were
we in discussing the support which would
ee given the various candidates for the
Presidency in Posey county. The truth is,
Lincoln, Douglas, and Breckenridge men
are about equal-BeIl in the rear.

Resolutions were passed endorsing the

mending the same for adoption by the Dem
