matter. It is an object which must
recommend itself strongly to their
patriotism and philanthrophy. We
hope and believe that the Governor
will give this subject attention in his
message, and recommend definite
legislation. The General Assembly
will be negligent in its duty to society
if it allows another session to pass
without making the necessary provis-
ion contemplated by the Constitution.

amidst all the complaints made against the

have failed to find anything like corrup-

There can be no confusion in regard to
the issues separating the two parties in
this legislative contest. BY the record as

OUR SENATORIAL TICKET.

The Hollidaysburg Register in speak
ing of the recent Senatorial nominations,
says:
On last Friday, the Conference, at Lew
istown, nominated a Senatorial ticket.
which we present to our party this week
for the first time, for their consideration
and acceptance at the October election
Col. John X. Robson and Samuel MVit-
ty-the former from Junia,a county and
the latter from Huntingdon-are the NOM
inees. Col. Robson is a soldier, ana dis.
tinguished himself in the late war by his
bravery and his devotion to the country
amid the perils of the battlefield. As a
soldier he possesses a record that any
man in the district might be proud to
own, and as gentleman and citizen he
is such as to commend himself to every
Republican voter in the district.
Mr.. MNitty went into the Conference
with the endorsement of the best men of
his county, and through their influence
received the nomination.
Thoug h neither of the candidates are
residents Of this county, it is the duty Of
every Republican who has the interests Of
the party at heart to give the Senatorial
candidates his most cordial support. Re-
member that Col. Robson is a soldier
and that our party is pledged to the sup

JUDGE SHARSwOOD ON LEGAL

Extract from His Opinion IN the Case
of BoTie VS.. TrOtt.

"On the whole, then, am os opinion that
the provision of the act of Congress of Feb
ruary 25th, 1862, declaring the notes issned
in pursuance of that act to be lawful money,
and legal tender, Is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
''This renders it unnecessary that | should

made, as to the effect of the special agreement

of 23d Of February, 1864, where the opinion is
published in full.
1t may also be found in the Legal Inteli-
gtncsr of March Is, 1864, page %.
In the same copy Of the Age is carefully
prepared eulogy of the judge and his opinion,

flict the country by his obstinate antago-
nism to the true policy Of 's,regenerated

of our party are gentlemen of ability,
honesty and integrity. They are pleds-
ed to the support of measures thar will
inure to the benefit of the State. They
are unanimously endorsed by confsresce
which adopted Free Railroad resolutions
and are in every way committed to the
measures cherished by the masses Of the
people. Their opponents are Democrats.
This should be enough of warning to men
who have hitherto acted with the Repub-
lican party from principle. Mr.. Shugcrt
has lived off the public for many years
He is "A chronic oflice-holdeT, and was
living at the public crib in Washington,
when Abraham Lincoln bade imbecilc
Buchanan good bye and the sage OF
Wheatland retired to bis home in Penn

in the field four years fighting the enemy,

army, its generals, and the people for CIV

shall we trust now? Those who called

the men who bravely withstood the SLAM

We think no candid, honest Republican
will hesitate to endorse our Senatorial
ticket.

BE Assessed!

We urge upon Republicans all over the
county to see that they are assessed. The
time in which it can be done expires on
Saturday, September 2Sth. Last year We
lost more votes from this cause alone than
would have elected Lucian Wilson. Our
friends will, therefore, see the importance
of having every man who votes the Re-
publican ticket assessed. Remember i.
must be done at least ten days before the
election. We cannot afford to lose any
votes from this cause.

The municipal election in Wilmington,

elected Mayor by 270 majority. This
is about the same majority as last year,
and was entirely unexpected by the De

THE PARDONED HOST.

Eighteen thousand pardons are said 10
have been issued by President johnson to
the Southern Rotels up to September T.
In this catalogue will be found the names
of some Of the most fierce and demon
strative traitors who we're excepted by the
Amnesty Proclamation of 1865. Sc
many have found special favor at Wash
ington that the issue of the last procla
nation seems almost to have been unncc
essary. The eagerness Of MIR. johnson
to forgive the wretches who attempted tc
ruin the nation has been conspicuous evel
since the close of the Rebellion. Had be
been actuated by patriotism, he woulc
have wi,hcld his pardons until the coun'
try was settled, and the South wholly re.
stored. The release oc parties who were
liable to punishment for their crimes was
an assurance to them that their offence:

pclicy of Congress in the South, are the
men who have been pardoaed by Andrew

THE COMING ELECTION.

The election in Pennsylvania is distant
only few weeks. As yet, no special ex-
citement has been disclosed in either OF
the political parties. From the nature OF
the case the usual amount Of interest could
not reasonably be anticipated. The can
vass is, indeed, one of importance, but
this consequence is inferential rather than
direct. 1t goes out of collateral consld-
erations rather than out of the number
and magnitude of the Offices to be filed,
If the President had kept his promises to
execute the Reconstruction acts in the
spirit in which they were conceived and
expressed, notwithstanding bis original
objections to them, it would have been a
difficult task to draw this autumn any
thing like an average proportion OF voters
to the polls. After intense agitation ne
cessa,ily comes longing for quietude.-
The desire for repose was almost univsr-
sal and this the President rudely dash
ed.
On the Democratic side, unless there
are currents in motion SO deep down be,
low the surface as to escape observation,
there IS next to no animation in any sec
tion of the State. None of the usual ev-
licences of activity are visible. However,
it will not do to trust appearances. There
may be secret agencies in operation or
other and ordinary instrumcntalities may
be already prepared, and held in readiness
for late disclosure, SO as to take the Re-
publicans by surprise. True, this is i'm
probable but in political campaigning, it
is the part Of wisdom and safety to guard
against all possible contingencies.
On the part of the Republicans the
movement, which commenced languidly,
has quickened. Most of the local tickets
have been framed, and generally with no
more grunbling than generally ensues
from the disappointments inevitable from
rivalries. In many districts an unusual
degree of harmony prevails. Quite a
number of mass meetings have been held,
with audiences Unexpectedly large and en-
thusiastic. Many more meetings have
either been announced, or are in prepara
ton.
AS to general principles and the mea-
sures to be pursued, there has never been
such identity of view aud purpose as now
prevails. For this the Republicans have
to thank the President What they could
not do Cor themselves, he has dore for
them. BY his contempt alike for his own
word and the wishes of the loyal people.
he has well-nigh banished conservatism
from the Republican ranks.
What now remains il certainly 10 get
the Republicans to the polls. That has
been rendered comparatively easy by the
President. Most of the Republicans are
eager to record at the ballot-box their con-
demnation of the President, and to send
omens of cheer to faithful Senators and
Representatives in Congress. OF course
there are laggards. In the most exciting
canvasses there are always such. To get
these out, is labor which the local COM
mittees should set about in earnest and
with little delay. This dore, the voice of
Pennsylvania will be heard again, clear,
emphatic and commanding.
