THE MORNING PATRIOT.

The office of the late Patriot and Union having
passed into the hands of the undersigned, they
propose to supply vacuum that has long existed
in the newspaper press of interior Pennsylvania.
From some cause or other the reading masses of
the Democratic party of the great interior coun-
ties of the State, have been compelled, either to
do without the latest news, or patronize journals
whose political sentiments were distasteful to
them
this want.
It's proprietors are determined that no efforts
shall be spared, on their part, to make it FULLY
EQUAL, a newspaper, to any of its competitors
Whatever the electric wires are able to communi-
cate, up to the hour of going to press, will be fur
nished in its columns every morning; and its
large size will enable it to give quite as much
reading matter as any of its contemporaries.
As an advocate of sound political sentiments,
favoring faction clique section, but devoting
its entire energies to the good Of the whole par
ty as a vehicle of the latest news, and a chroni-
cler of passing events, we determined that it
shall not be excelled and we confidently appeal
to discriminating public for that appreciation
and encouragement which are indispensable to
success
TERMS:
For the Daily, one year in advance. ........$7 90
For the Daily Six months, in advance. 80
Single copies, THREE CENTS.
THE WEEKLY PATRIOT.
1t is the determination of the proprietors of the
PATRIOT to make their weekly Journal fully equal
to what the "Patrot and Union was in its palmi-
est days. 1t will be of the largest weekly pa
pers in the State and special pains will be taken
to fill its columns with such reading matter as
will be alike interesting and useful to the Farmer,
the Mechanic and the Man of Business, and to
make it an agreeable and welcome visitor to ev-
cry family.
Every person should subscribe to the paper
printed in his own county, and we do not mean to
enter into competition with the local papers of the
State. But, many people take their home paper
and a city paper in addition. To such we send
greeting.

The Nomination of shaw.

The Biddeford Union under the above cap
ton has some sharp comments on the Demo-
cratic Convention recently held in that city.
1t says:
1t was then deemed advisable to nominate
VIM. p. Haines, Esq, by reclamation, it being
well known that he was man of too much
shrewdness to accept, and that thereby time
would be gained by the friends of the Bo-
dugger to mature their plans While the
committee were gone to inform Mr.. Haines of
his nomination, and receive his refusal of the
honor, Nath. S. Littlefield, the hero of mob
that broke up an anti-slavery meeting at
Bridgton some thirty years ago, addressed the
meeting at some length, and informed his
hearers that Gen. Grant was no military man,
but owed his success entirely to accident. Mr..
Littlefield ought to publish work ON strate-
gy. 1t is evidently his strong point.
One two more of the powerful yoalno
speakers of the Democracy followed, and the
Committee returned with Mr.. Haines graceful
declination of the proffered honor. On the
first ballot, Charles A. Shaw otherwise called
We Boddugger, had lis votes, SO being necessa-
ry to a choice, and the nomination was made
unanimous. 1t is wicked load for the party
to carry this warm weather, the Boddugger on
top of Seymour and Blair bnt if they can't
carry it they can lie down and rest. Besides
they had no choice.
The "Hon" Charles had bought the party
organ, and spent untold money and energy, in
making 1T proper representative of the party,
(Which it is, to be sure), and he was not going
now to lose all the fruits of his labors More
over he had printed his handsome face, and
his wonderful exploits at great expense in the
Chimney Corner besides distributing his
photograph and his Mayors Address" to ad
miring friends all over the country.
Still further, some of his political friends
don't love him very much, but they were afraid
he would make trouble in the party if his mer-
its were not recognized. They were therefore
willing he should be nominated, knowing that
he will suffer political death this fall for
which there will be no resurrection. Among
the Republicans of this section his nomination
gives unoounded satisfaction, for they feel that
with such q ticket against them they are
bound to win bv a majority which will throw
that of '6f5 in the shade

Mr.. Hepworth Dixon accepts and invitation
to stand as the Liberal candidate Tor Parliament
for Marlebone, ON condition that his constitu-

in Parliament at two thousand pounds, and
the total cost of electing House of Commons
at two million pounds.

Somebody saw Gen. Grant at st. Louis SUI

with trunks to go out into the comfy, where
his family were to spend the summer, reports
him as saying: 81 have moved an army, and
have moved family, and of the two it is ca

A Vermont paper states that Ira Wells of
North Thetford, who went out hunting on
Ascutney mountain Tuesday, was discovered
on Friday, with his arm caught in the cleft Of
a tree and the whole lower part of his body de-

the spot explained his horrible fate.
Mexican news is a trife more "squally" than

over it. Active hostilities are expected to be-
gin soon in the State of Puebla.

With Pleasure.

For the tenth or twelfth time we respond
promptly and cheerfully to the call OF the Ar
gus for proof that the exemption of govern
ment bonds from taxation is just and righteous
and that there is no peculiar hardship to the
poor in such exemption.
First, dishonesty and fraud are never for the
interest of any man, rich or poor, and no gross
er fraud can be imagined that the conduct of
the United States government would be in
| promising to pay six per cent. interest in gold
"a high rate commensurate with the danger
| Gus risk of total loss assumed by the creditor
and then refusing to pay more than three or
four per cent, retaining the remainder in the
form of tax. There would not be even a
temporary and superficial advantage to any
American citizen in such course, for the
United States must probably be borrower
for some years to come, and if this dishonorable
course were taken, money could not be raised
in any way except by the payment of such ex-
orbitant rates of interest as are always exacted
of the dishonest and treacherous borrower who
has to pay an insurance on his honesty. The
Republican policy is the only one that can af-
ford any genuine advantage to the poor man.
The grand central idea of that policy is so to
impress the world with the idea of our integ-
rity as people that we can fund our debt at
as low rate of interest as other countries
have. 1t is only the refusal of Democratic
President to sign the funding bill passed by
Congress just before its adjournment that pre-
vents the saving of 100000 per AMMAN to
the taxpayers.

from the speeches of Horatio Seymour. Here
is one from his speech at Cooper Institute on

Here is another from Seymour's speech at
Albany in March last, bearing Indirectly on
the same point: :" 1t is a mistake to suppose
that the interests of the bondholders and the
taxpayers are antagonistic"
We hold ourselves in constant readiness to re-
spond to anybody and everybody on this ques.
ton as often and as fully as they may require.

An ecumenieal or general council is the
only Romish body which claims superiority to
the Pope. This may account, in part at least
for the infrequency of these assemblies in mod
ern times, since the consolidation of the power
of the Catholic church in Rome. There has
been no general council called since 1869 The
Pope alone can call general'council and for
hundred years there has not before been a
Pope on the throne who dared to risk his pow

self; for, when once summoned, they are be-

Political Notes.

The Elmira Gazettee, the only Democratic
journal in the county of Chemnnq, has declar-
ed in favor OF Grant and Colfax. The editor
declares that Mr.. Seymour cannot and ought
not to be elected President of the United
States. 1t is understood that the Democrats
will not attempt at present to establish anoth-
er paper in Elmira.
Secretary Stanton will speak for Grant and
Coifax during the campaign as much as his
health will allow. His first speech will prob
ably be made at Cleveland.
The Columbus journal saws: "The last act
OF the Rebels, before the war, was to vote the
Democratic ticket. The first act of the Reb-
els, after the war, was to vote the Democratic
'icKe'. AS there was but one step from De-
mocracy into rebellion, there was but one
step from rebellion back into Democracy"

his determination to oppose any Democratic
ticket that ignored the brave men who mt
