special meeting of the Standing Committee
on Wednesday last, was unanimously nomi,,

Mr.. Fiske is not os1y a skilfuI and intell..

and is just such man as the industrial

ests. Wherever Mr.. Fiske is known he is
popular, and there will be no difficulty in
electing him by a handsome majority

THE PREsrDENrIAI, TOUR.

In after ages the record of the tour, TO-
gether with the speeches of President John
son and his Cabinet, will afford matter for
speculation and doubt in regard to its
reality. 1t appears almost incredible that a
President of the United States, in this en-
lightened age, should so completely forget
the exalted position he occupies as to handy
words with an excited populace, who snub
him with insulting epithets. The future
historian may look upon these things as
fabulous, or at least an exaggeration of the
real facts. Yet they are painfully true.
That something is radically wrong cannot
be denied when even such friends as the
New York Times and the Post lecture the
President for his want of propriety and
proper respect for the high position he
holds That the President is frequently un-
der the influence of liquor and stimulants is
not questioned. Among Southern men this
habit is unfortunately too common. 1t is
perhaps charitable to suppose that the loose,
incoherent and improper remarks made by
the President, in most of his speechs on his
. tour, are the result of disordered brain.
That they are painful and humiiating to
his friends cannot be denied, and that they
are disgraceful to the country, is not mat
ter of dispute. s..5-,a..t tr.... "a.
But it will be said that Mr.. Seward is not
much better This, in some respects, is true
Mr.Seward has not been himself since his ter
rible struggle for life with Payne, the assassin.
Whether the injuries he then received weak
ened his mental as well as physical powers,
or whether the use Of exciting narcotics
since that struggle have not clouded his
brain, is question that suggests itself to
every rejecting mind. His actions, of late,
in reversing the previous record of his lite,
in all the great principles he has so ably
advocated, shows this too plainly to admit
of doubt. When he asked the crowd
whether they wanted Andrew johnson for q
king, and when he toasted the wife of Ad.
miral Farragut, in mixed company, as the
handsomest woman in the party, Mr. Sew
ard was evidently no longer the Seward OF
former days. These are indications of a
wandering and waning intellect, and are,
perhaps, better calculated to excite pity
than indignation.

s85~THE FLAG STORY NAILED.--As the
Northumberland County Democrat, as well
as some unprincipled individuals continue
to circulate the story that S. II. Rothermel,
the Republican candidate for Sheriff, was
one of the party who compelled Mr.. Samuel
Wagner, of Little Mahanoy, to raise the
American flag on his house during the re-
belion, we publish the following statement,
made by the two sons of Mr.. Samuel Wag-
ner, now. deceased, showing that Mr..
proceeding, but as a friend and neighbor of
Mr. Wagner, advised those engaged in that
affair not to have anything to do with it,
and return to their homes. The origina.
paper, with the genuine signature of the
two sons of Mr.. Wagner, can be seen at this
Office. In addition to this, Mr.. Rothermel
authorizes us to say that he will give to any
person who can show that lie advised or
encouraged any one TO take part in that af-
fair, reward of two hundred dollars.

We, the undersigned, having heard it re-
ported and noticed in the paper, that s. II.
RoTHER,iEL, candidate for Sheriff, was con-
nected with the party who endeayored to
force us to display the American Flag. Now
we solemnly assert, that he, Rothermel, to
our knowledge, advised the party to remain
away. Had they taken his advice we would
not have been troubled in the matter. Fur
thermore, knowing the above facts, and
thankful for his kindness and good advice
in that matter, we intend to give him our
support the coming election. sll.

the Presidcpts Policy, says;1ooon .1uoqdi
"Does Mr. johnson know that by his in
decorous language and injudicious conduct
he is seriously increasing the difficulties un
der which the country already staggers2 If
he docs not, it would be well if some judi
cious friend---if he has any such left-would
tell him this IN y1irofts I1a rlHOu o. a
With this desire that the loyal representa-
tives of the Southern States shall he with
out further delay admitted to their seats in
Congress, it is known that we, with con-
siderable and most respectable part of the
Republican party, strongly sympathize.-
But this result is to be brought about by
reasoning, by persuasion, by proving to the
country that such q course is the wisest; it
cannot he attained by the course which Mr.
johnson has so unwisely chosen to adopt
and follow. 1t would be well for him to
know that he is very fast making himself
personally odious. The loyal people Of the
Northern States, those who stood by the
Union when it was attacked by reocls, see
with dissatisfaction and alarm, which is
no longer concealed, that the President
whom their votes elevated to his position,
surrounds himself, by his own choice ap-
parently, with men like Tom Florence, Gar.
rett Davis, Salisbury and Others who, like
these during the war never concealed their
sympathies with treason. They see Mr.
johnson, further, removing from Office men
of ability, and of uuGoubted fidelity to the
Union, and putting in tLeir places not war
Democrats, not Republicans who agree with
his views on the question of representation,
but copperheads, sympathizers with treason,
persons whose course during the war made
them forever hateful to the loyal people"
All this is true as the gospel, and much
more, in the same direction, which the Post
does not see fit to say, is equally true.
