Hon. j. Is. PAChEE, rQk GOVERNOR.
The Republican couitraes Of the Repre-
sentative district composed of the counties
of Juniata and Mnlin. at their meeting on
the 9th instant, unanimously adopted the
following resolution, offered by w. w.
Davis:
ReSo|rcl, That the Delegate this day
elected b. instructed tn vote for Hon John
Is. Packer, of Northumberland, rs the Re
publican candidate for Governor
This move Of our friends in the Juniata
and Mil!iu district, shows that an effort
will be made to press the name Of our
townsman, Hon. John i. Iacicr, for the
Gubernatorial chair, 1t is an evidence
that the oili.e is seeking the man, and we
can endorse the proceedings Of our friends
rs in good taste, Should Mr., Packer con
sent to be candidate. and be elected, his
administration would reflect much credit
upon the old Keystone State. His ability
as a lawyer and n statesman well fits him
for the Office. There are but few men in
public lite who stand rs uutaruishud us
Mr.. Packer, aud his great popularity
among the laboring classes, would bring
strength to the Republican ranks in this
State. 1t is well known fact too, that he
was the only member of Congress in the
State who was reelected in 1870 by an
Increased majority, and that through his
influence and energy, the Republican State
ticket was carried in Northumberland coun
ty by over three hundred majority, while
p,rt Of the county ticket WAS elected by over
fifteen hun lrcd ma. a.orty upon local issues;
being the first ime that this county chang.
ed its politir1l complexion since it was
organized, These facts show that he is
not only po'u!ar, but that where he is hest
known, /" has the confidence ofthc people,
and thai lis abilities as n statesman and
man Of moral worth are appreciated ~
both political parties.

sUNDURY, DECEMBER 23, 1871.
OUR COUNTY AFFAIRS. is well un

Our COUNTY AFFAIRS. is well un-
dcrstood by the people that there is q defect
in our county affairs, and that there
are mntiers which should be remeded.
The auditors reports for several years
past have been somewhat muddled,
and were anything but satisfactory
to the taxpayers. Even some of the
auditors themselves have acknowledged
that wrong existed which they had
lot discovered, and were unable to tell
where il did exist. The county finances
have bccn so loosely managed that it
is likely To be brought into litigation with
former officers. These deficiencies arose
in the Commissioners office, ana the cnor-
nous list of expenditures were returned to
the auditors to cover up tracks, 80 much
so, that it has attracted the attention of
the people generally. Whether this has
been done i.aorantly or Intentionally, we
are unable to say, but we believe that if the
accounts Of 1869 aud 1870, were to be re-
audited, and the original vouchers pro-
duced from the parties who rendered nc
counts against the county, that there would
be considerable reduction in the cXpcdi-
turc. 1t would be well it the present audi.
tors were to demand the original bills pre-
scntcd, properly certified by the parties
furnishing material and labor, rs well as
the accounts Oft the Sheriff IS Office, instead
of relying on accounts kept 10y the clerk Of
the Commissioners. The Commissioners
have no right, legally or morally, TO grant
an order for the payment of any bill with
out some evidence that it is correct, either
by affidavit orhy their own personal knowl-
edge The enormous frauds lately com
mitted 10y the New York officials ought to
~ eli the eyes Of all to the necessity OF
tcrutinizing closely all bills presented for
payment and not accept, as Il matter Of
course, bills presented 10y anybody who
may choose to make up u cain against
the county. These are matters which in
tcrost every taxpayer, and we appeal to
the auditors whom we believe 10 be men
who will do justice, to give this matter Il
thorough investigation, and let the people
have the report in full on the subject.

Ole 9eraId.


The following is the first Of
series ofresolutions adopted by th'
Republican convention of Connec
ticut. Ten years hence we will
have even a more brilliant record
s-Chiliicothe Gazette.
|. Res0lVei, That we gladly re-
new our allegiance to the princi'
pies and policy Of the Republican
party, and we challenge the history
Of political organizations to par
allel the record of lis ten years oil
national rule.
A gigantic rebellion has been
suppressed.
Armies of q million raised and
disbanded.
Four millions of.slaves set free.
Labor made free and honorable.
Free homesteads offered to all
settlers.
The Pacific railroad built.
Universal liberty and equal civil
and political rights for the first
time secured by constitutional
amendments.
The States that broke their con
nection reconstructed and restored.
Taxation frequently reduced, the
last reduction being eighty millions
a year.
The national debt greatly re-
duced, two hundred millions Of the
reduction taking place under the
present administration.
The national credit raised at
home and abroad.
The price of gold brought stead
lily downward
The revenues vigilantly collected
and honestly disbursed.
The perfect citizenship of all
adopted citizens for the first time
protected by settling the doctrine
of expatriation.
The Monroe doctrine vindicated
in the case Of French invasion of
Mexico.
Peace maintained aud the nat
ional character kept in the highest
respect throughout the world.
We know no way of judging the
future but by the past. The Re
publican party has never made a
pledge to liberty and union which
it has not redeemed. From begin
ming to end, it has met the desper
ate opposition Of the Democratic
party.
