Read the following article from the Ere
ming Post, Republican PAPER, edited by
WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT, and until very
recently a Radical and firm supporter of
the Rump Congress. Read what he says in
this article, entitled
IMPRUDENcE OF THE PRoHIBITIoNIsTs.
The majority in Congress are, under the
dictation of Messrs. Morrill, and Stevens, EN-
gagged in passing tariff bill, which, by the
acknowledgements of its most determined sup
porters, sacrifices the revenue of the United
States for the sake of protecting few weal-
thy manufacturing capitalists
The arguments used to justify this atro-
cious act are so weak that they move to
laughter those who hear the speeches of Mr..
Morrill, and Mr. Stevens. Mr.. Morrill, {
strong point is that this country is greatly
deficient in laborers, and that therefore it is
highly necessary to provide employment for
American working-men. Mr.. Stevens S
strongest point is that the proposed tariff is
not nearly high enough, and is, in fact, a
free-trade measure.
We cannot doubt that the President will
veto this oppressive BILL He is too enlight-
ened statesman, and too impartial lover
OF the whole country, to give his consent to
a scheme whose effects will be, as we have
frequently shown, to cripple our foreign COM
merce; to increase the present high prices
of the necessaries of life; toretard the pro-
gress OF the country; to grant mOnopolies
to few manufacturing capitalists, and to Sc
duce the scanty laboring force of the country
from profitable into improbable employ
1fients.
What is needed is revenue tariff, and we
hope some members of Congress will take
the trouble to frame a bill to that end, and
propose it. In the meantime we trust the
members from southern states who can take
the oath will be admitted to their seats
We warn the prohibitionists that they ride
too high horse for safety They are trying
to force most hateful and wicked scheme
upon the country. That is bad enough; but
they are at the same time keeping out the
representatives of the southern states Are
they doing this in order to make sure of their
own schemes? Is it to secure the passage of
this prohibitive and destructive bill that they
refuse to admit the southern members? 1t
would seem so, from their highhandcd course
The country will believeit, and they will only
ruin themselves by such a course, which
heaps injustice on injustice, and commits one
wrong in order to facilitate the committal of
another-.just rs a highwayman mains his
victims in order the more easily to plumber
their persons.
The American people will not tolerate
such legislation they viii sweep away, at the
first opportunity, men so faithless to the
general welfare there are already signs to
show that the men who vote for this tariff,
especially undert eaggravating circumstance
of the exclusion from debate and vote, of the
southern members, will be left in a small
minority in the next Congress.

Anniversary Celebration.

Agreeably to arrangements, respectable
assemblage of the citizens and children of
Bloom and Montour townships, convened in
the grove of Mr.. Thomas Knorr, near the
Aqueduct, on the Fourth of July, to celebrate
the ninetieth anniversary of national indie
pendence. The meeting was more respect
able than large, but altogether interesting.
The following was the order of organization !:
LEVI L. TATE, President Thomas Knorr,
John g. Quick, V. b. Boone, j. L. Farms
worth, Peter Frick S. A. Ritter, Vice Pres
ideTfs.
Lieut. Charles A. Knorr, John O. Bark
ley, Secretaries.
On taking the Chair, the President made
few remarks, pertinent to the occasion !;
after which c. B. BRoCKwAY, was intro
duced to the audience, and delivered an ap-
propriate address.
The meeting then adjourned until clock,
and the people were introduced tor a most
sumptuous repast-spread in the pleasant
grove, by the ibersiitv and industry of the
ladies and gentlemen of that place after
which, the Declaration of Independence was
read by the presiding officer.
Col. SAMUEL KNORR, was then called to
the stand and delivered an address
Supper was then announced--with ice
cream, nuts, candies, cake &c, in abun-
dance,-in which all parties took part to
general satisfaction, in social manner; and
thus terminated the interesting exercises in
the tented grove.
Signed By The Officers.

The people began to gather from the sur
rounding country at an early hour, and
everything wore an air of cheerfulness.-
notwithstanding the indications of rain. By
10 o'clock, the Sunday Schools had arrived
when the procession was formed at the M.
Il. Church, and marched to the Grove east
Of the village.
The banners were neatly made, and bore
appropriate notices. The Stars and Stripes
shone more brightly than ever.
At the Grove, the Rev DIR. Bliss. of the
Lewisburg University, opened with PRAYER
The Declaration of Independence was read
by j. X. BoGART, of New Columbus. after
which Prof ANDERSON, of New Jersey. was
introduced as the orator of the day, and by
the time he had well commenced, storm
came UP, when every body double quicked''
to place of shelter. AS large number as
could well be sheltered repaired to the Acad-
emy, where the programme for the day was
carried through Sunday School addresses
were made BY Prof. FURMAN, the present
Principal Of the School, and r. r. PEALER,
Esq, Of Bloomsbury II. j. BELL, Esq,
Of W Filkesbarre, delivered an address on the
necessary requisites to our prosperity and
perpetuIty as a Republic DR.. Bliss fol-
lowed with a very appropriate closing speech.
Everything went off quietly, and the peo-
pie started for their homes about 5 o'clock,
and I venture to say, rejoicing that they had
participated in celebrating the nnetieth an
niyersary Of our independence.

Hon. Hugh McCulloch, Secretary of the
Treasury =
SIR Il inclose you copy of my issue

to the President. You will see that the
charge that | am opposing him is false.

President; if the patronage is not taken from

ganization unit and TRIUMPHANTLY sUs-
TAIN THE ADMINISTRATION. Respectfully,
PALEMoN JOHN,
Assessor 18th District Penn'a
The above letter appears in the last num-
Der of the Republican. Was there ever such
feebleness of style in letter written with SO
much care and on which such great hopes
depended. Has the Doctor never learnt the
old maxim that Sin fewer words the mind
conceives more ?' That letter ought not to
have occupied over three lines. Thus: The
charge that I am opposing the President IS
fdLSe /; and lohether shall do so or not, de
peadS upon the circumstance aohether the as
SesSorSltip shall be taken from me or not. For
choice, and improvement of style, we will
write that letter again. The principles at is
sue bet,ceen the President and Congress, are
all the same to me. 1 am for sale, and 90
for the party that pays my price, ris the as
seSsorship.
The above letter was sent to the Secreta-
ry of the Treasury long after the issue be-
tween the President and the Rump had been
made up, by the veto of the Freedman S
Bureau Bill, and the Presidents celebrated
speech of the twenty-second of February

Secretary being thus informed by that letter
that Doctor John is purchaseable, concluded
they would buy him any time they might
want him and would lay him aside for the
present. The letter having been shown to

the President could pay more than they, it
was not worth while for them to try to re-

The Disunion press are unutterably
shocked that Dan Rice, 'the clown" should
aspire to Congressional position" Their
shock is due, evidently, to the fact that the
Snowman is a consistent Democrat man
of ability, and sufficient honor and honesty
have heard of no shocks, however, in regard
to Phineas 7. Barnum, ''loyal' representa-
tive, who has never been able to achieve the
eminence of decent Snowman.

We refused, for awhile, to endorse the
call for National Union Convention at
Philadelphia, on the 14th of next month,
fearing that it would only prove but another
device of demagogues to subserve some par
tisan interest by practicing deception upon
the masses. At present writing we feelen-
tirely willing to dismiss all such suspicious
and enter hopefully into the contemplated
movement Let them meet in council for
the ell-being of the whole land. 1t will

itrequires the disbanding of the Democratic
party. To that we would never consent 1t

run parallel with it We hope, and insist,
that it shall receive its support from the
Radical party. This is the only way in which
it can benefit the country and the Democra-
cy. We think the address, published in
this issue, from the Democratic members of
Congress, gives us guarantee of the good
faith and honesty of the proposed Conven-
tion. Still, the New York Times, persis-
tently claims that it is to be held as means
