ing to put itself in working condition
The integrity IF the House is at last re
deemed, and that, too, by the triumph OF
the great principles Of Freedom and Jus
tace. In another column we give an ny,
tiale from the ". J. Tribune by which
our readers can judge the importance Of
the victory to our party.
While we regret the causes which ne
cessitated Nj. Sherman to withdraw his
name as our standard bearer, we are none
the less gr4ti6ed with the final triumph
of our principles in the election Of Mr..
Pennington We admire net only the
magnanimoas resignation of Mr. Sher-
man in withdrawing when he aud his
friends were fully convinced that there
was possibility Of electing another, and
at the same time we rejoice at the dlsci-
pine of Republican members as exhibited
in their adoption Of the nan whom Mr..
Sherman nominated as his successor in
bearing the party standard. The Sacri-
fee was one of contingent results rather
than Of honors or principes-fo for we have
sound partisan and worthy leader
in Mr.. Pennington. And, therefore, our
rejoicing over the triumph is none the
less sincere.
The election Of Mr.. Fornev, Of the
Press, as Clerk, and 1Lr. Hoffman, Of Mary
land, as Scrgoant-at-Arms, is further eg-
idence of the good faith and magnaninity
of the Republican members-and both
prceminently just. The organization is
an emphatic rcbuke Of the Adminisua-
ton, and of the clustering di,uoion
threats Of its Southern aGhereuts and
advisers.

The fight noticed in the local column
OF the iast JOURNAL, in which Mr..
Churchill was SO dangerously stabbed
that his life WAS iu great peril, was the
Lyil@ote fruit Of the liquor law Of 1856,
which was intended to facilitate the sale
of Intoxicating driaks. and has accom-
pIishaJ that result There have been q
good many fights and other disgraceful
outrages committed in this county in
consequence Of the passage Of that law.
Temperance men Of Potter county, you
can repeal this law so far as YOU are con-
cerned if YOU riU it; that is, if you will
act, at once, earnestly and cnergeticaIIy,
in accordance with such will. On the
strength Of fet2 petitions already pre-
scnted from this county, we find some
action has been taken at Harrisburg. In
the proceedings Of the House, January
3).h, under the head Of Bills read in
place. We Gud the following:
Mr. MANN, An Act to repeal the Act
Of April, 2Qth, 1858, regulating the sale
Of intoxicating liquors So far as said Act
relvtes to ,hc county Of Potter"
A similar act passed the House last
winter, but failed in the Senate. 1t will
% through both Houses this winter, if
yau will do your duty. Let every person
IN this county, aaau o. ~ man, who de-
sires the above bill to become law, take
immediate steps to have that desire made
known az Harrisburg. IF there is a pc
tition in your neighborhood, see that it
is presented to every person to sign, aud
then send it to either your Representative

The telegraph says "the State Con
vention IS just as well qualified to select
delegates to the National Convention, as
to nominate a candidate for Governor.
1t would be as true to say that the State
Convention is as well qualified TO select

But no sane man would think Of proros-
ing such a thing For ourselves, we
would about as soon the State Conven-
ton should select the one as the other.

Of either, and we warn the advocates of
this method Of securing unity at Chicago,
that it will fail.
The editor of the Mexican Citizen, in

per, thus blandIy echoes the 1sieyroph--
which, ly-the-way, is Mr. Cameron's au-
thorizeG mouth-piece--in laboring to take
the voice OF the people of this State ont
Of tue National Convention:
The question as to the selection of
delegates @ the National Convention by
the State Convention is yet being agita-
ted, bat it is being pretty generally con
ceded tha, the old Democratic mode Of
selecting the delegates at the State Con
y5nGon is the only way the question can
be disposed Of without creating disturb
auca In the ranks Of the party. Mr.. Bu-
chanan couId never have been nominated
at Cincinnati had not the delegates from
hls own State been a uniL for him. Is
Gen. Cameron the favorite candidate of
the people Of the State? Ii SO it is sur
pm-iug 10 see a turore raised against the
usual mode OF selecting delegates to the
National Convention, and no one but his
enemies are engaged 10 it. / ne had no
candidate OF our own ii would make no
difference whatever ,rhy were our dele

Keep ALI Power as Near the
People ;a& Possible.

We can understand why conservative
papers see no objection to relieving the
people frcm the trouble and responsibility
of choosing delegates to the National
Convention. Bat we are astonishcd at
the tone end tendency of an article in the
Erie True Amcncan of January 26, On
this subject We have heretofore had a
high opinion of that paper. 1t processes
to be more radical than ordinary Repub-
Iican papers. But It's statement Of rea
sons for favoring the selecting Of delegates
by the State Convention are intensely
conservative, and just such as Franci,
Joseph might give for relieving the pee
pie Of Italy and Hungary from all care
and trouble about governing themselves.
After denouncing as a sham the whole
delegate system, that paper says:
The only feasible and the safest course
is for the State Convention to appoint.
This takes the whole thing out of the in.
lluence Of the petty QusrreIs Of county
aspirants and places it in the hands Of a
body Of responsible men, representing
every County Of the State, who are pre-
sumed to have the sagacjty to ascertain
and the honesty TO carry out the true
wishes Of the people"
The same reasons would bear equally
as strong against all electious by The peo-
pie; and would take US back to the day,
when kings and emperors took the whole
business of government 'out Ct the inHu-
ence of tie petty quarreIs Of county as
pirants" and placed it in such able and
responsible hands as the ruler should
select. Ii the people should elect their
officers, then the more responsibility is
put on them, the more likely are they to
prove worthy of it and as they keep all
power to themselves, the better and trucr
will their representation be, We should
greatly prefer to dispense with all Nation
al Conventions, aud we hope the Rerub-
licans will never call another one But
so long as we have them, let the dele
gates be chosen directly by the people.

BGAA~ On our fourth page will be found
a summary of the operations at the Oil
Mines in Crawford Co, taken from the
TitusviIle GuzsHe, published at the cen
trc OF the great oil basin. 1t will be seen
that prospecting for oil engages the atten-
ton Of the speculative portion of that
community, as well as large number Of
strangers who are daily arriving at this
new Eldorado The new Developments
of oil are still more astonishing in respect
to quantity than were the first; and here
we are reminded of a remark Of a waggish
and much esteemed friend of ours, who
was experimenting with some of the oil
u our Office soon after our return from
Titusvile He looked for few moments
at burning rag which we had saturated
with oil to exhibit its illuminating quail
ties, and suddenly turning and addressing
US, said Il have always believed, till
now, that the world does not contain
enough combustihla matter to burn it up
if the Lord chose to set It on fire; but l
am now convinced that it does" Our
friend is anti-orthodox in his religious
opinions, which adds to the poia! of his
remark
From a private letter lately received
from Titusyflle, we learn that Jonathan
Watson, Esq, of TitusviIie, G pit. Alden,

Gently concluded a treaty with the Chiefs
of the Six Nations, by which they have
purchased the exclusive right to bore foE
oil on the Indian Reservation in the State
of New York for which privilege they
agree to pay $4,000 bonus, and one-third
of the profits of the oil produced The
amount of territory in the Reservation
is, we believe, 40 square miles The
treaty was signed about a month ago.

not greater than 81 feet to navigate the canal at
a speed not exceeding four miles per hour, by
paying the same rates Of toll as are charged on
