dur brethren across the river seem to have
slipped up on their calculations considerably,
rs far US the Congressional candidate was con-
cerned, but have the advantage Of martyrdom
to carry with them as their war cry for the
convention Of 1872. Both sides must feel q
little uneasy about the result; the defeated be-
cause Of their defeat, the victors because Of
their mean victory, which was won by selfish
ness and force of numbers. We hope II has not
been the means Of creating dissensons that cam
not be healed, or feuds that will be lasting.
The plain facts Of the case are that John Lynch
did not deserve denomination for q fourth

rs much justice another re-election.-Ports-

What Ought to be Done2

We are in receipt of many letters and
many calls to know what is to be done in
the present emergency. 1t is not for us
TO state, for the matter is in the hands OF
our leading men. and this JOURNAL will
take no step without consulting with
them rs far as possible. Trust them rs
they have stood by you in defence Of your
privileges and franchises. 1t is not for
the interest OF the Republican party in
the District or County for Lynch to be re-
elected. and. If all do not realize that fact
now. they viii realize it at some time.
You fought in 1852 and 4, to keep Free
dom in the territories, and we trust you
too much to suppose that now you will
fight to give up your freedom in York coun-
ty. You fought Ia common with all 10y
al men to preserve the liberties and fran
chises of the country and its acknowledge
mcnt rs nation, and let no one suppose
that you are so full of gushing SIM
plicity" as TO deliver yourselves over to
those who have deprived you of your ac-
acknowledgements rs people having rights
which they are bound to respect. that you
may grind in their prison-house.
Mr.. Lynch's paper of the I'd inst. says,
Whatever shall be the issue Of the COM
Ing election in this District, (and that Mr..
Lynch will DO elected can scarcely BIO
doubted.) ore good result will have been
achieved by the late convention. The
authority of prccedcnts. be hcy real or
pretended HAS BEEN BROKEN, and IL
Is 10 be understood hereafter. and we hope
forever, that the people do not mean to
be enslaved in their choice Of public SER
wants by the tacit arrangements or 'un-
derstandings" among politicians, but will
exercise their judgment untrammeled by
any unauthorized bargains.
If there arc those who now say, ut is
best to give up and make the effort at the
next term. and then we shall surely have
our rights" read the above extract, and
see what prospect you have. 1.-THE au-
thority of precedents has been broken"
says Lynch. and once swept away, what
chance have you, rs minorityP 1t is
idle and cowardly to talk thus. Your
only chance for preserving your franchises
is right here and now. All history Of
the world shows that when men have
power they use it. Two years more of
power in the hands of a corrupt man
bent only on what he can make for HIM
self, will only bind you down the more.
And II is then calculated, rs any dissatis-
faction you may then have, If expressed,
will cndanger the Presidential election,
you will then more readily "acquiesce,"
and the calculation is well taken. If our
county is not prolific of any men worthy
and capable to receive her honors and in
whom her people can trust, let her seek
for them elsewhere. But when she falls
so low It is time for her able men to leave
her and that they will do.

MIR. LYNCH'S PAPER SNEERS At
YORK COUNTY.

The Pres has convenient way Of ignoring
the honorable arrangements and understanding
which the Cumberland delegates made with
the York at the District Convention Of 1868.
In this particular ii only followed the example
which Mr.. Lynch had set by his secret but
shameful treatment Of his professed friends.
VIM. p. Fessenden and the surveyor. II has
always been supposed that the conventions Of
the party were composed Of gentlemen who had
some regard for the preservation Of the honor
and character, as well as the reputation Of the
party, but the Press thinks differently, and
sneers at the York delegates fer being so simple
as to believe anything Of the kind.

Yes, men Of York, all the thanks you get

The Next Representative.

Who he will be we cannot tell. but it is
very easy to say who will be allowed to
stay at home. The forcing of John Lynch
upon the Republican Convention. the out
rage upon the rights of minorities. the vi
olation of honor and good faith, and the
abandonment of the usage Of the party,
absolyes all republicans from any duty to
support his nomination, made by only half
Of the District. Ithas only the semblance Of
regular nomination without any Of Its
merits, and when Lynch and his friends
declared that they spurned the usage of
the party in making nominations, they,
by their own chosen course. forfeited the
usage Of the people in voting for them.
One follows the other;-you cannot ig-
more fidelity to party practices in one case
and claim il another. The violation of
usage in making nomination absolvos all
persons from the usage of supporting il.
