| III, conferees of the 14th Dletflct met
tb;s mornina in this city to declare the lot
mai nomination made by the people as 10
.ha 90 ndidato for Congress. JOHN B. PACKER,
W .rs Northumberland county, having been en-
| 5orsed by three counties out oil the nve In
,he district. had clear majority of the con.
'farees sent here, while Geo. y. Miller, the
nreseut Congressman, had the conferees
from his own county, Union, and Col. John
I. Patterson those from Juniata. They re.
fused to enter into any contest and formal
ballot, but unanimously asked their conferees
to tender their support at once to MIR.
Packer, and thus make the nomination unsn-
imous.
GEORGE F. MILLER has represented this
district for nearly four years in the Nation
al Halls of Congress, to the entire satisfac-
ton of those who elected him to that re-
sponsible position, and we know that he
done his very utmost to carry out the views
of his party and friends. Always ready and
obliging to further the interests of his con-
stituenls, he retires with their good wishes.
While his immediate friends in Union coun
ty presented his name for third term, they
knew full well that some of the other coun.
ties had equally good and able Republicans
who would be presented as the candidate.
Mr.. Miller retired from the contest, and en-
dorsed the nomination of his competitor
most heartily.
Col. JNo. j. PATTERSON was also present.
ed as candidate by his own immediate
friends in Juniata county, who elected con-
ferees by direct vote Of the people, with
instructions to support him as a candidate
for Congress; but we know that Mr.. Pat
terson made no personal efforts outside of
his own county to procure the nomination.
His conferees were among the first to sup
port Mr.. Packer; Mr.. Patterson himself ex-
pressed his entire approval of the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Packer, and pledged himself to
do little more than any other man to
swell his majority.
JOHN b. PACKER is therefore the uuani-
nous nominee of the Republicans of the
14th Congressional district, and as such will
receive the united support of all the loyal
voters. His legislative experience will at
once enable him to rank, in point of ability,
industry and perseverance, with the oldest
member of that body, and as a ready deba-
ter will participate in its active duties.-
Every county in the district, with perhaps
one exception, Juniata, will poll respecta-
BILE majority in his favor, and we have no
doubt that his majority will be the largest
ever given to any. Congressional candidate

A New DoDGE.-The Democrats of this
place, conscious of their weakness, are en-
Geavoring to bolster up the party by appeals
to the laboring men. With this in view, q
Mr.. Sylvis made a harangue in the Court
House, on Wednesday evening, in which he
professed to steer clear of both parties, but
the cloven foot and long ears were so palpa-
bic that a man of the most ordinary intel.
lect could see the copper shod ass in the
lions skin. Mr.. Sylvis told his hearers how
he would have reconstructed the States, and
how he would have managed the finances
and made money plenty, but unfortunately
the country did not call on him. He al
luded in a rambling manner to all the topics
OF the day, made extravagant assertions
without producing single fact to sustain
him. The Freedmen's Bureau, he said, ex-
pended three hundred millions, or at least
one hundred millions, or at all events from
twelve to fifty millions, and then wound up
BY saying that no one knew how much was
expended. A pretty story, truly, to tell
Democrats that a Democratic administration
could not tell how much money was paid
out by the Treasury Department But the
records show that only about five millions
were expended in all the difference between
five millions and three hundred millions is
not much, after all. Mr.. 8. was decidedly
in favor of paper money, and never wanted
to see another gold dollar. Shade of Jack.

up, and said lie would read few lines he
had hurriedly dotted down in pencil, but

been in the service and ought to be reward

DECENT DECoRUM.

Tho Northumberland County Democrat, OF
last week, contains scurrilous editorial ar
ticle, charging us with having disturbed the
Democratic meeting in the Court House
while Mr. Purdy was speaking, and beha-
wing in manner more like butoon OF
drunken Coppsrhead than gentleman. III
noticing this absurd and contemp''o'e i",,. .,'
hood, it is not because that we ha,e W..
least idea that any respectable reader Oh 1na'
ro,or;ors sheet. who knew US, would ior
,a,,on, be,;eve such stupid charge out
Loo.,.o ,f uncontradictcd, Others might DC
Id 90 suppose there was, perhaps, some
,,,,oros of truth in the article.
Tbo freedom of the press is great boon
70 mankind though too often abused Dy
stupid as we'll as designing men. The time
was when an editor or conductor OF
public journal was presumed to pe gen
tleman and man of intelligence. But now,
unfortunately, too many assume that posi-
ton WHO have neither brains enough to en-
able them to perform their duties properly,
or sufficient discretion to see that the best
remedy for vacuity, is silence. II the above
remarks are not, to use the language of the
learned editor, Gin accordance with the most
liberal definition of decent decorum," it is
because the subject will not admit it, As
every issue of the Democrat is living wit
ness of the utter want of decorum of any
kind the editor may be able to explain what
kind of decorum is decent and what is in
decent. And now for the facts. While in
that meeting we quietly occupied seat
near the centre Close behind us was Dlr.
Isaac Furman, to whom we privately ad-
dressed some remarks. A short distance in
front was Mr. Slaymaker. We will leave IL
for these gentlemen to say if they heard a
single word, or observed single action
that was not sin accordance with decorum,' y
or even "decent decorum."
IfRepublicans If cannot attend the meetings
of their opponents without being watched
by the scavengers and eaves-droppers of
Copperhead journals, to report private con-
versations, in order to make up their weekly
pabulum of SANDER and vituperation, which,
to them, is the breath of their nostrils
and natural aliment, it is well that we should
know the fact and govern ourselves accord
ingly.

that the Republicans are fully as strong as

THE G9manto,on Telegraph, which is not
political paper, thus refers to the present
contest for the Presidency 1--WE never
knew compaign which has opened with
more spirit, conducted with more earnest
ness, or which promised more brilliant result
than the present. The enthusiasm seems to
have broken out ali over the country spon-
taneously to an extent unlike anything we
ever remember in any former Presidential
contest. And there is a reason for it. The
country, not even in 1861, was in more abso.
Lutte danger. The leaders of the Democratic
party, by their nominations and proclama-
tions, formally coalesce with the leaders of
the late rebellion, and declare their inten-
ton to overthrow the Constitution and
Government of the country in the event of
their success. This they unblushingly and
defiantly publish to the world, and ask the
people of the United States, who are now
just settling down in peace, to help them to
accomplish their infamous purposes. With
such truths staring the people in the face
will they do it? Not while they love the
tranquility and good neighborhood which
is now being permanently re-established.
Not while they love the great country and
its old flag. No matter what party they
belong to they will never prove false to
