A Word to the People.

As the time is drawing nigh, when NOM
nations are to be made for State Sena-
tors and members of the House of Repre-
sentatives, it behooves the people to be ju-
judicious in the selection of candidates.
Forseveral years past majority of those
sent to Harrisburg, seem to have been con-
trolled more BY their own individual inter-
ests than the welfare Of the masses, in the
passage of laws. This must not be. The
interests of the people at large are para
mount to private interests. To prevent a
recurrence of undue and injurious legisla-
ton, by the granting of special privileges to
monopolies, the voters must take the mat
ter into their own hands. In presenting
candidates for election hereafter, men must
be selected who will be true to the interests
of the people Return no man for the sec
ond term If he proves recreant to the trust
confded to him at his first election. And
there is but one way of successfully accom-
plishing this end. All former party divis-
ions must be ignored for the time, and the
people unite in one grand effort in behalf of
themselves They may not be able to ac-
complish all at once. but by perseverance
they will bring about this much desired re
form in very few years We throw out
these hints for the consideration of all who
have the development Of the resources of
the State at heart, with the hope that the
subject will receive due consideration from
those most deeply interested.

just so, neighbor! And that record, in
part, consists of Mr. Clymer's vote against
the resolution granting the use of the Sen
ate Hall to Andrew johnson to speak in
favor of the Union-of his vote against the
Constitutional Amendment allowing our
soldiers the privilege Of voting while in the
srmy-of his vote against the resolution
recommending an increase of pay to our sol
diers--of his vote against the resolution
rendering thanks to Gen. Grant, and the
officers and soldiers serving under him, for
their gallant services and glorious victories
over the rebels in Tennessee-an of his
vote against the resolution asking an increase
of pay to non-commissioned officers and
privates in the army. who were fighting the
battles of the Union.
Such is MIR. Clymer's record, which is
upon the journals of the State legislature. ="

This, certainly, is very encouraging tea-
ture in our national finances; especially
when it is remembered that the Democratic
leaders denounced them as "a worthless
trash, that in short time would be of no
more valne than SO much waste paper. ;"
Yet, notwithstanding the attempt, on the
part of those who sympathised with trea-
son, to embarrass the Government by bring
ing its bonds into disrepute, the loyal and
patriotic masses took the loans, relieved the
wants of the nation, and now they have the
satisfaction of knowing that their confidence
was not misplaced, for that worthless
trash" is at par. and viii soon command

A FAcT-An exchange says: "a Glass
of whiskey is manufactured from perhaps a
dozen grains of corn, the value of which is
too small to be estimated. A glass of this
mixture sells for a dime, and if of good
quality is considered well worth the money.
It fires the brain, sharpers the appetite, de-
ranges and weakens the physical system.
On the same side board on which the dele
terious beverage is served lies newspaper,
1t is covered with half a million of types
it brings intelligence from the four quarters
of the globe. The newspaper costs less than
glass of grog-the juice of a fewgrains of
corn-but it is no less strange than true that
there is large number of people who think
corn juice cheap and newspapers dear.

nominee for Governor, says:

Pennsylvania Policy.

That there is something wrong In refer
ence to the policy of Pennsylvania improve
ments, for the development of our great
mineral wealth, is abuudantly proven by
the recent passage of laws by our Legislature
granting almost unlimited privileges to GER
tain railroad companies. Either our legis-
lators are ignorant of the true interests Of
their constituents, or they are impelled from
some sinister motives to do that which they
know to be injurious to that constituency.
We are not prepared to say where the fault
lies, but that there is wrong no rejecting
man will deny. There is one way to correct
this evil, or prevent its recurrence. Pass
general and liberal railroad law, extending
permission to any association of individuals
who may deem it expedient to construct
railroads WI erever it NAV seem necessary
for the development of our mineral resour-
ces, ard the evil referred to will be at an
end. and our State viii advance in wealth
and influence beyond all precedent. The
Pittsburgh Commercial of March Goth, re-
ferring to this subject, says:
eve are impelled by sense of duty. to
point out the imminent danger of defeat
which menaces US, if the dominant party In
the Legislature shall persist in the insane
| facilities of the State New York, with al
ready FIVE times the facilities of Pennsylva-
MIA for reaching the Western trade from
her metropolis, is busy in the creation of
new lines The New York, Oswego and
Midland Railroad Company was organized
in the beginning of January, under TIE gen
eral railroad law Of the State, and the ne
cessary subscription paid in. As located, it
runs through the counties of Oswego, Onon-
daga, Madison, Chenango, Delaware, Or
aDge and Sullivan to Hoboken The route
and grade as adopted, show that it will fur
nish, with easy grades, new trunk line to
| the West, sixty miles shorter than the pres
en-. New Y ork roads Whilst New York,
| with commendable enterprise is opening
mp new avenues for the trade of the great
West, in order to maintain the supremacy
which her metropolis has gained from the
past supineness of Pennsylvania, our Legis-
lature is worse than useless, so far as any
counteracting effort is concerned. The At
lantic and Great Western Railroad Compa
ny stand ready and anxious to build rail
road through comparatively undeveloped
part of the State, which will make a trunk
line l67 miles shorter from Northwest to
Philadelphia than the shortest now in exis-
tence, through New York State to New
York City, and the Legislature stands in the
way, seemingly determined by inaction, OF
adverse action, to prevent it.
Let us have general railroad law-not a
law crippled and cursed with provisions to
render it useless-but an equitable law
which. will encourage the investment of capi
tai in railroads for the development of the
Commonwealth, and we will prosper to &
geater degree in the future, than ever We
have in the past.

NEW HAMPSHIRE Although our Dem
ocratic friends are jubilant, as usual, after a
heavy defeat, and are reckoning up those
relative gains which somehow never bring
them any nearer to majority, the Repub-
lican majority in New Hampshire has ex-
ceeded both Mr. Lincon's in 1864 aud the
estimate made this year by the Republican
State Committee, after their canvass of the
State. The New York Herald explains
the phenomena as follows, in an article
which shows the impossibiiity Of ever doing
anything more with the Democratic party !:
The party must take new shape and a
new name before it can expect to accom-
plish any important political revelation.
The party record of the war has killed it as
dead as the Bourbons The new wine of
Johnson's policy cannot be put into the old
Democratic bottles of the Chicago Conven-
ton"

WAR DEBTS OF THE STATEs.-In a re-
port submitted to Congress, Penn nsylvania
is set down as having war debt of $50,
600, 900. The only war debt contracted by
this state was the $1,000, 600 war loan, and
that is in course of extinction. Philadelphia
borrowed some few millions to pay bounties ;
but the people of the state generally raised
from among themselves, by taxation, the
money necessary for that purpose; SO that
although the sum of f-S53, 900. 900 was un-
doubtedly spent in raising troops to fill the
quotas of the state, it is not in any sense a
debt The State is in better financial con-
dtion, to-day, than before the war, with
less debt and with better means for paying
rapidly what she owes, and that, too, with
out resorting to direct taxation.

The naval ID 1vements Of the Government
excite great attention, as indicating that the
authorities are evidently not satisfied with
the condition of affairs on orr Northern
coast. A Washington dispatch says it is
understood that orders have been issued for
the immediate fitting out of flying squad
ron for duty onthe British North American
coast, Various reasons are assigned for
this movement One is the assembling of
the British West India fleet at Halifax
Another is the Fenian scare. Still another
is the termination of the Reciprocity treaty
and the effect on our fisheries. There is one
thing certain: We shall have fine feet
in the eastern waters capable of taking care
of our interests in that quarter. 1t will
probably equal the English feet in strength

Words are notorious cheap. The latest
illustration of this truism is furnished by
the Democrats of Pennsylvania. In their
late State Convention they made formal
tender of lasting gratitude to the soldiers
of the Union. What and how much, they
meant thereby can be inferred from the
coarse, ribali and indecent manner in which
most of their journals are now dealing with

Committee and will doubtless soon assume
the responsible duties assigned him and de-
vote his whole energies to the organization

inently fitted, alike in point of integaity
and familiarity with the politics of the

Hester Cymer is the heaviest candidate

Heister Cymer is the heaviest candidate
ever forced on any party to carry through a
political campaign. His public record for
the past four years, consists of vituperation
of those who, like Andrew johnson, in the
South stood up for the national honor, and
of votes against those who ike the soldiers.
left the North to put down the rebellion.
The copperhead organs feel and see that
they cannot succeed with Clymer, and they
are satisfied that they cannot get man to
accept their nomination who has been the
faithful friend of the Government during
the struggle with traitors. This is bad
plight for intelligent men to find themselves
in, but it is the logical result of faithlessness
to the national honor. 1t is the bitter fruit
of sympathy with treason.
