The Nine Million Steal,

The di fliculty in the way of legisla
tion last winter prevented the thieves
from stealing the sinking fund nine
millions. The fact thas several of the
prominent actors were to be up for re-
election, also had its influence. But
the plunderers have not given up their
game. AS the Constitutional conven.
tion will prevent any legislature after
the next from committing tho robbery

tuency see to it that they elect none O.
these thieves this fall. If you want tc
save the nine milli ons to pay the State
debt do not cote for one of them. Look
to it now, when you have power, and
pledge your candidates to oppose it.

1t will be observed from this calcula.

reaction which is exteling impercepti-
bly, over the country shll make strong
impression on those SNes. AT the last

There is no doubt bout the public

has been cheated outf her just rights,
may control those SITES. Our belief is
to thecontrary. Theris hardly doubt,
after Pennsylvania slll speak out next

that all these carpebag governments
will tumble to pieceand their "loyal"

Presidential Prospects.
From the Washington patrio,


| Although a year may elapse before
candidates will be regularly presented
for the Presidency, public interest be.
| gins to turn in that direction already,
and speculation as to the probable re-
suit has taken wide range. Notwith.
standing the violent opposition which
exists in the Republican ranks to the
President, and the disaffection of many
of the most respected leaders of that
party, the denomination of Gen. Grant
may be assumed as fixed fact We ac-
cept it as such, because the whole pa
tronage and power of the administra-
tion will be exerted to that end, and
this united influence is strong enough
to control the political organization, in
spite of any resistance that may be
made.
There have been great changes since
1868, when General Grant received the
electoral votes of twenty-six States, and
Mr.. Seymour of eight, including Geor-
gia AT that election, Virginia, Miss.
issippi, and Texas, casting an aggregate
of twenty-three votes, were not repre-
sented; so that, counting Georgia, but
thirty-four of the thirty-seven States
were recognized as in the Union. or
the popular vote, General Grant received
3,012, 1888 and Mr.. Seymour 2,703, ,2l9,
showing majority of only $780, ,5si for
the former. This result may be well
considered remarkable, in view of the
popularity which attended to a success.
full soldier, supposed to be moderate in
his political opinions, and the condition
of the country at that time.
Great changes have occurred since
1865. Nine States, which gave General
Grant 10, 76l popular majority, have be.
come decidedly Democratic ; and some,
like Pennsylvania, may be regarded as
most likely TO follow that direction,
while Others still should be classed in
the doubtful category. After calmly
surveying the whole field, and with no
desire. to docoivn ourselves or TO mis-
lead others, we have come to the con-
clusion that, with ordinary discretion,
next year may be regarded as reasonably
certain. This expectation is predicated
upon the adoption Of wise and COM
prehensive policy by the National Con.
vention, and the selection of candidates
who in themselves, will reflect the sound
opinion of the country, and deservedly
command the public confidence. Feel
ing sure in regard to both these facts, it
only remains to demonstrate the pro-
position. We take, as n basis of csti.
mate, the States which are now in the
Democratic line, or which are conceded
by all competent and candid men.
The next Electoral College will be
composed of thirty.seven States, with
an aggregate of three hundred and
seventeen votes, and necessarily re-
quiring one hundred and fifty.nine votes
to elect the President Our present dis.

IF VALLANDIGHAM's ghost can read
the newspapers just now, and if it has
not yet forgotten earthly impulses, il
must be either greatly amused or hor-
rifled at the expressions of sympathy
and admiration which literally fill the
colu INNS of the Radical papers. Even
terms fextravagant eulogy are indulg-
ed in. Where traitor was once the word
patriot stands now! Why this wondrous
change? Simply, Mr.. V. a short time
ago agreed to bow to ebony and admit
the African to equality! That is now
the tou ch. stone of Radical respectable.
ity.
The Radicals made the term hdHo,
almost respectable by constantly apply
ing it to honorable men, and especially
to the truest friends of the Union. They
used to exhaust the vocabulary of mas.
tiness in abuse of VALLANDIGHAM,
who was ever firm friend of the Union
but since Walls death they have dis
covered new light No longer afraid
of him they now extol him as pattern
of propriety and excellence, and as an
example of pure and lofty patriotism

OUR generous and chivalrous friends
of the Harrisburg Patriot have lived
long enough in the world to have ascer-
tained, with due diligence, that it is the
part of good breeding only to speak for
Others when authorized to do so. To
quote distinguished statesmen as favor.
ing ideas about which they have never
spoken is scarcely within the line OF
gentle manly propriety so characteristic
of the Patriot when it treats subjects
upon which it is sane Ia our humble
way we have always esteemed Judge
BLACK and Mr.. BUCKALEw as being
competent to speak for themselves, and
it is not palpable that an angel stands
in their way. At least neither of them
have been in the habit of employing
Others to speak for them.

I'd Senatorial District.

The Radicals have nominated ELISHA
w. DAVIS for Senator In the "a district
of Philadelphia. lie has served much
in the Legislature and was always in
every corrupt ring he could creep into
and was generally ring mastcr-foul-
est amongst tho foul. Possessing only
low order of intellect he was yet one
of the most successful in corruption.
The convention that nominated him Is
denounced as q rowdy concern of most
disreputable character, but that does
not relieve the Republican party from
the odium of electlng base bad repre-.
sentatives. The worst members in the
Legislature are forced into it by Radi-
cal nominating conventions. Wher-
ever they are strong they select men
who are or will become thieves when
elected. In the case of DAVIS they
know their man, his corruption and his
capacity to corrupt. II they elect him
they can not plead in extenuation that
they did not know the character of the
man, for he has long been well known
as a Legislative corruptionist who voted
for every vilo measure that was put up
on its passage. BY electing him, they
place their whole party upon level
with him and advertise to tho public
that they are no better than he, and
that they uphold the bad practices that
prevail in tho Legislature.
IvpIno, it ha in npn ~. t,yr I ~ go
districts in Philadelphia, the Democrats
never nominate such candidates-open
well known corruptionists. If they
elect bad men it is because they are de-
ceived. On the other hand the Repub.
licans are in the constant habit of re-
eecting the very worst men that dis
grace our Legislative bodies. And this
very fact constitutes main feature of
the respective parties.

THE 9th resolution clackers strain
every point to justify themselves.
Why don't they obey their own resolu-
tion, which "deprecates the discus.
sion of the subject? Some philosophers
have an idea that the way to successful.
ly oppose and defeat an opponent is to
prove the fallacy of his arguments and
positions but the gentry here referred
to steal the Radical theories and then
employ their time in attempting to JUS
tify them. Wherever you stand, gen
tlemen, let the RAIDS do their own justi
flying. They are as good at it as you
are, have been in the business longer
and probably seriously believe what
they say-an advantage you do not
possess.

Hon. Warren j. WnntIMnr,l.

The Democratic Conven tion of Berks
county, by unanimous and cordial
vote, ronominatcd Hon. WARREN J.
WOODWARD for President Judge, and
IL Is stated that this action meets tho
unanimous appreciation of the people of
the county without regard to party.
Although this is high and rare compli.
ment, it Is what those who know the
merit and ability of the man expected.
Upon being informed of the action of
the Convention, Judge w. appeared be-
fore it and returned Acknowledgements
in the following graceful terms:
Mr., PREsIDENT:-I have cheerfully
accepted the invitation of your commit.
tee to appear before the Convention, to
express the qualification feel from the
nomination that has just been made. 1t
would be mere affectation to receive it
with the appearance of an Indifference
which | do not feel.
For ten years l have been performing
the duties of President Judge of this
Judicial District. A nomination for the
same office at the end of this period by
representatives of the party whose rep.
resentatives nominated me ten years
ago, Is an honor to which | could not of
course be Indifferent.
| have made some effort to be here at
this time. 1t has seemed to me to be
right that candidate for a judicial Office
should have the opportunity to meet the
representatives of the mass of the people
of the county on just such an occasion as
this. A Judge cannot meet men in the
usual business of life. He is shut out of
general business intercourse, and he
cannot take part in ordinary political nc.
ton. 1t Is only proper, therefore, that
he should embrace the opportunity of Il
nomination like this to express his ac.
acknowledgements for tho services that
have beensrendered him, to the MEM
bers of the Convention and the people
they represent.
The nomination enables me to express
the sense of the obligations / have felt
during my connection with the business
of the county, for the constant support
have received at the hands of the people.
They have been ready to overlook i'm.
perfections, errors and mistakes. They
have allowed to me the benefit of every
doubt; and have always given me credit
for purpose to serve them to the best
of my ability in the position to which
theyplaced me. In the same connection,
It is but just and rig hit that should take
the same opportunity to acknowledge
the magnanimity, courtesy and forbear-
ance with which l have been treated by
the members of the Berks county bar.
My relations with these gentlemen have
been as pleasant as the relations of
Judge and counsel could possibly be |;
and 1 have always felt that in ali my
intercourse with them and the commu-
nifty, l have had unusual ground for
self.congratulation
For the Kindness, confidence and sup
port have received from the people of
the county, / am deeply grateful, and
for the honor that has just been con-
ferred upon me, desire to return my
cordial thanks to the members Of this
convention.
