reorganization. This, rs suggested by
the Gazette, should be done at an early
day. if the formaity Of Conferee meet
ing is deemed necessary, to give him time.
TO canvass the district, and we can have
no doubt of his reelection by large ma
jority. The following is the Cazette's
article =
PRELIMINARY MEETINGs--In our
opinion it is desirable that an early day
should be fixed for the meeting of the
Congressional conferces, SO that the can
dldate-who will no doubt be Judge
Hale-will be enabled to spend a few
davs before the election in each county
of this district 1t is probable, however,
he may have no opposition whatever, and
IN that case we would suggest it might
be as well tore nominate him without the
formalities of contcree meeting, either
by the editors of the district or by the
county meetings. So far as Mlttiln coun-
ty is concerned, no one else Is thought or
spoken of, and we therefore propose to
our brethren of the press at once to put
up his name as the candidate-feelng
assured that in doing so we but respond
to the universal sentiment that better
man, or more able representative, could
not be secured.
We cheerfully give our endorsement
to the above plan, and accordingly we
place the name of Judge Hale at our
mast head and accept him as our candi-
date. The plan is a good one, and is now
endorsed by the leading papers OF four
counties in the district-Centre, MltHin.
Lycoming and this county. and will no
doubt be very acceptable to sullivan
county. The Lock Haven U'atchmdn
objects on the ground Of "party disci-
pline," and at the same time admits that
it knows of no one else who desires to be
a candidate against Judge Hale. The
Watchman's objection is far fetched and
self answered. We are in favor of par.
ty discipline " when necessary; but as
there seems to be no person aspiring to
supRant Judge Hale at this time, we
think there is nothing demanding the
exercise of discipline" We do not
believe in keeping the army on war
footing in time Of peace and, further
more, we think that the unqualified en-
dorsement of Judge Hale for reelection by
the entire Republican press of the dis
trjct will conduce more to his strength
than otherwise. Some even think that
he will have no opponent, but we believe
Gen. Skinner, Of lycoming, viii be the
Democratic candidate. But let who will
be the candidate, We have no fear OF
Judge Hale being defeated.

GENERAL BICKLEY has published an address

amount Of $498, 900, and appeals to her sister
southern States for contributions.
The object is declared to be to AmericaniZe

to day, the name of our present represeu-

Hale has made an able, independent and

"In relation to the Missouri question,
/ am, and have been for many years, so
much opposed to Slavery that will never
live in State where it exists. Bat I be-
lieve that the Constitution has given no
power to the General Government to in
terfere in this matter, and to have Slaves
or no Slaves, depend upon the will of the
people in each State alone.
Besides the Constitutional objection,
I am persuaded that the obvious tenden-
cy of such interference on the part of the
States which have no Slaves with the
property OF their fellow citizens of the
others, is to produce state of discord
and jealousy that will in the end prove
fatal to the Union. believe in no other
