A Call.

To the School Boards and Patrons OF
Schools Of Cedar County.
Believing the efficiency Of the
schools Of Cedar County j. seriously
impaired by the great diversity Of text
books now in use, we should deem
1t our duty, If possible, to remedy the
evil, and for this purpose have adop-
ted the following plan
That the School Board of each
Township District and dependent
District in the County select two dele
gates to meet In Upton for the purpose
of examining the different text books
now published and adopt such books
as they may deem the most desirable
as series for uniform use, which se-
ries shall be adopted by the different
School Boards throughout the county.
AS books are needed they can be se-
lected from tina uniform series, thus
making the introduction gradual.
The introduction price OF nearly all
the text books Is much less than the
retail price, 30 that uniform series
can be established at less cost than n
continuation Of the present custom Of
purchasing books.
II School Boards fail to elect dele
gates ! wonld suggest that the presi-
dent and secretary Of such board be
considered IS delegates and attend the
convention as such.
Therefore would respectfully re-
quest the School Boards throughout
the county to select two delegates to
meet In convention at the Court House
ut Upton, at one o'clock r. NJ, on the
first Monday Of September, 1872, for
the purpose Of selecting y uniform
series of text books, and to recommend
their adoption by the several School
Boards OF the county.
l have taken this step at the sug-
gestion and request Of some Of our
best citizens, and hope that patrons of
schools will urge the boards to prompt
action and that every school board In
the county will be represented.

County Candidates.

The call of the Chairman of the
County Central Committee for Re-
publican Convention to nominate can
didates for the various county offices
to be filled this fall, Is published here
with.
Announcement of the candidature Of
ali persons who desire to come before
this Convention for nomination has
been and will be made in these columns
whenever direct authority therefor is
given by the parties interested. Fur
ther than this, and with it the inten-
ton to say for any candidate all that
can be truthfully said in bic favor and
for the information of the voters to
whom he appeals, the ADVERTISER
does not wish or desire to go in the
matter. It has always held that the
province or duty Of a Republican pa
per of the county in no way included
labor for or against the plans or NOM
ination Of any man or clique of men.
Such work it gladly leaves to the paper
which was started for that express
purpose; and will endeavor to content
itself with the attempt to show fair.
ness to all, making its object the pres
eDtation of the claims of all as nearly
as possible in such light as will enable
the people at large to choose with in
telligence regarding the choice offered
and the issues involved, II any. So
much and no more before the nomina-
tons are made; afterward, it will
support the election of candidates Sc
lected as vigorously as may be, its
ability and freedom SO to do unim-
peded by its having been partizan
previous to nominations-very posi-
bly, against the identical men it il
afterward called upon to support.

N orth Carolina.

1t is now definitely and positively
conceded on all sides that the Republic
cans have carried the North Carolina
election which took place on the lst
inst. The majority will be about 1000.
And all the ammunition. speeches,
aud Qualification of the Democrats was
worse than wasted. Poor, III. G. The
following is from the Chicago Times
Of the sth :
1.-The long period of suspense is over,
and 1t is now definitely known that
the radicals have carried North Car
oliDa. Their candidate for Governor
has about 1000 majority, and the
whole of their State ticket Is elected,
except, perhaps, the candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, who runs very
considerably behind his ticket. The
Democrats elect five out of eight
members of Congress, which is no i'm.
provement upon the present delega-
ton, since the additional member
which the State secures under the
new apportionment Is gained by the
Republicans. Thus 1t transpires that
State which gave Democratic ma
jority of nearly 1000 two years ago
when many of the most damaging
facts against the Administration had
not transpired-is now carried by the
Grant party. This authorizes several
inquiries, among which are, what has
become of the so-called Liberal Repub-
licans who were to rally in such num-
bers to the banners of the anti-Grant
party? aud is Mr.. Greeley thus far a
success in forming the elements Of
opposition into a union that IL an
assurance Of success? The New York
Tribune gushed over the earlier re-
turns that indicated conservative
victory in North Carolina, under the
caption, The Forerunner Of Victory
thus connecting the result Of the State
election in North Carolina Immediate
ly with the general result in Novem-
Der. In the light of this later intelli-
gence, does it not become by a parity
OF reasoning, the forerunner OF de-
feat ?u

The Republicans of Gin ton met in
De Witt Park, Wednesday evening.
for the purpose Of organizing a Grant
and Wilson Club. At least 5000 peo-
pie were present. A salute Of twenty
guns was fired and music furnished
by two bands. Judge b. II. Parks, OF
Aurora, a life long Democrat, was the
orator OF the evening, and spoke In his
usual vigorous, logical and eloquent
manner for two hours. His auditors
were very enthusiastic and applaudsd
the many telling points made against
Greeley. Such an auspicious opening
OF the campaign there promises grand
results in November.

The peflbrmalics Of duty so lepg
neglected. will prSvent the nomlna-

selfish men, and we sincerely hope
that our farmers, mechanics, and all
those who have been heretofore SO de-
relict in their political duties, will at
tend the primary meetings aud secure
the best men possible to represent
them-but as Oranges lave nothing
to do with partizan politics. Those
that do it will proclaim their own
death, for they cannot be recognized
after it MS legitimate members Of the
Order. s
"Oh, your Order cannot help being
used as q political machine--you cam
not keep the Oranges out Of it." are
expressions frequently made to us, and
there 10 large portion Of our most
worthy citizens, and who arc general
~ friendly to the Order, who conf
IDENTIFY look for such . result. So far
the Order has escaped giving any cause
for sustaining the truth Of such
charge, aud we confidently believe
that there will not be any given. 1t
is very difficult, We admit, in some in-
stances. to restrain men from doing
what they should not do, in the Pat
rons, as well as other Orders and assoc
Citations, especially when their rights
aud general welfare have been SO long
disregarded by their own servants.
When they have determined to make
change to secure different result,
aud see the farming interest generally
alive to the remedy, they naturally
feel that It can be best secured through
this new and strong association of the
farmers. The principles that should
guide them in their action are legiti-
mately obtained there, but the party
machinery TO carry them out is very
properly applied elsewhere. and
should be left there. Woe unto the
life Of the order when partizan politics
are permitted place in our Oranges!
Give no opportunity for any one TO
even Suspect that you are doing any
thing more thSn you should do rs citi-
zens In controlling the selection Of
men for office, is the uniform advice
we have given, and now urge upon
Patrons generally. BE not only pure,
in this and other respects, but let your
actions prove that you are pure.
We hope these few words of caution
will be received with that spirit Of
brotherhood which suggested them.

In the columns which certain en-
thusiastic Greeley papers keep filled
with the names of converts from Re-
publicanism to Greeleymocracy, some
one recently pointed out the name Of
Judge Hiscock, of New York, who, it
was affirmed, had taken the stump for
Greeley. AS Hiscock was shot dead
by Gen. Cole more than two years ago
for the basest Of crimes, 1t is hardly
worth while for Republicans to dispute
the prevalence of Greeleyism in his
present vicinity.
