against them, the party died and
was buried. The old Free-soil par
ty, born of the question of slavery in
our national territories, had its day,
and it was day of great usefulness. 1t
was sort of political John the Baptist,
clearing the way for the mightier organ
lzation which followed; but when it was
done it was translated into the Republi-
can party, which it first committed to
the essential articles of its faith. The
know-Nothing party had its day, and
dark day it was, and, thank the Lord,
short day; and then it also died. The
Republican party had its birth in the Or
ganized attempt to withstand the further
aggression of the slave power; but as
slavery now sleeps in its bloody shroud,
the mission of the party is ended, and
Its time to die has come. How can
man live when the breath has gone out
OF his body How can party survive
when the work which gave it life has
been accomplished and irrevocably set
tied?
My friends, the Republican party is a
spent political force. 1t is an organized
epitaph. 1t is to-day as dead as the
bones of the prophet Ezekiel, and its is
snes as perfectly gone as those of the
Mexican war. And the trouble with the
followers of Gen. Grant is that they are
today standing in the ruts of the past, or
moving along in the same old party
grooves, through the mere force of par
ty traditions and the memory of past
conflicts. while the supporters of Horace
Greeley have the sagacity to perceive
the real situation, and the courage to
take their stand on the broad level of in
dependent and untrammelled political
action.
Gentlemen, am not right in these
views? Is it reasonable to preserve and
garnish the scaffolding around an edifce
after it had been finished? If Christian
ity were established throughout the
earth, would the organization and ma
chinery of our religious denominations
be any longer needed? The champions
of Gen. Grant seem to forget that po-
litical party is not an end, but means;
that it is simply the instrument through
which some desirable purpose is sought
to be accomplished. I respectfully COM
mend to them the views of Gerrit Smith,
now their idol, as he. expressed himself
in 1869. Here is what he then said:
"a very lamentable evil is the educa-
ton of the people into the belief that a
permanent political party is great
good, and therefore that such party as
the Republican or Democratic ought not
to be broken up. But permanent po-
litical party, with the constant tendency
of every such party to deterioration, is
heavy curse; for it plants with great,
and too frequently with invincible pow
er, in the way of all progress, and clings
for irs own existence to the wrongs with
which it is identified. No other but
temporary political parties are justifiable
no other but such as occasion calls
| for"

The graduating class numbered 5. The

another building last winter, which now

its growth and prosperity the third

any. In the three years of its existence
it has numbered 2s3 pupils.

By Your Own RIGHT HAND MAN.
People who had been bolstered up all
their lives are seldom good for anything
in crisis. When misfortune comes,
they look around for somebody to cling
or lean upon. If the prop is not there
down they go. Once down they are as
helpless as capsized turtle, and they
cannot find their feet again without
assistance. Such persons no more re-
semble men who have fought their way
to position, making difficulties their
stepping stones and deriving determi-
nation from their defeat, than vines re-
semble oaks, or spluttering rush lights
the stars of heaven. Efforts persisted
into achievements train a man to self
reliance, and when he has proven to the
world that lie can trust himself, the
world will trust him. One of the best
lessons father can give his son is this:
Work; strengthen your moral and mem
tai faculties, as you would your muscles
by vigorous exercise. Learn to con-
quer circumstances; you are then lnde-
pendent Of fortune. The men ofathlet-
ic minds, who left their mark on the
years in which they lived, were all
trained in rough school. They did
not mount to their high positions by
the help Of leverage; they leaped the
chasm, grappled with the opposing
rocks. avoided avalanches, and when
he goal was reached, felt that, but for
he toll that strengthened them as they
,trove, it could never have been obtained.

liberal REDUCTIONS TO REGULAR
PATRONS. The Civil Rights Bill has
gone into force in the District of Colum-
bia. 1t imposes penalties for making
any distinction in serving respectable
guests on account of color, and requires
a conspicuous display in public houses
of lists of prices. While in some of the
restaurants food and drink have been
served to all colors alike as yet, others
put up cards with enormously large pri-
ces marked on them, heavy discount
being made in case of white custom
mers, so as to accommodate them at the
usual rates. At one leading saloon Oh
the evenue, prices posted up are as fol-
lows: Whiskey, two dollars per drink;
brandy, five dollars; gin two dollars; ale
one dollar; all mixed drinks five dollars
all bitters one dollar. The bill of fare
is as follows: Steak, two dollars; chops,
two dollars; ham and eggs, three dollars; ;

Our Democratic friends in this county
must be getting hard up for material in
their ranks for candidates to represent the
people Of this county in our State Legisa-
;ure, judging from those who are seeking
nominations. 1t looks as though the ma
te,isi bad given out, and that they were
co,npolled to import from other districts to
keep up appearances. The candidates are
well scattered, however, and the uOmina-
ton will show what county, in the estima-
ton of the leaders, produces the fitlest can
didates. Among those nov presented for
nomination we find one from Snyder coun-
IS, one from Lebanon county, one from
Butler county, and last but not least, an
editor, who we understand, left Lancaster
county, where the Republicans happen to
have the majority, and where he could not
even get his nose into an Office, who now ex-
poets the Democracy Of Northumberland
county TO bow down to him and do him
homage. Whether he intends to build an
addition to Sunbury or not, on his retire
men. from public life, we are not yet ad'
viscd.

THE NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION
At the last election for Governor in North
Carolina, which took place two years ago,
the Democrats carried the State by about
5000 majority. Another election took place
on Thursday. the 1st inst, and assurances
we're given the public that the majority
would be increased to at least 10000. As
the first dispatches sent were greatly exag-
gerated, the Democrats and sore heads
hereabouts felt quite jubilant at such good
result, but it appears their friends in that
State had over done the matter in guessing at
the final result and as the returns came in
shouted vociferously over their supposed
triumph. AS the official returns come in
they indicate that the Democratic majority
has not only been overcome, but that about
1900 has been rolled up on the other sides
for Caldwell, the Republican candidate.
We give below the latest dispatches:
RALEIGH, Aug. THE official and posi-
tive returns are pretty well in. The west
ern counties having been heard from, ex-
cept Ashe aud Yancv. Caldwell is elected
by about one thousand majority. The
Democrats claim that there have been great
frauds, and it is thought the matter will be
contested. The Republicans will jubilee
tomorrow night. Excitement subsidized,
and the Democrats receive the news of de-
feat quietly.
RALEIGH, Aug THE following tce-
gram has been received from the Republi-
can State Committee :
1--WE have carried the State beyond the
shadow of doubt. The Democrats all
give up the fight.

JUDGE BbAcH's OPINION OF GREELEY.

JUDGE BLACKS OPINION OF GREELEY.
The Hon. Judge Black writes to the
York Gazette "'There are many thous-
nnds Of men in the party who will refuse
to be dragooncd or bullied into the support
Of the ticket. The Greeley men ha1 better
suspend their plan of operation immediate
ly. The longer they continue it the less
likely they are to succeed In July or No
vember, We, the people, the rank and
file, the yeomanry of the country, cannot
be driven to the polls as negroes are driven
in the South by the carpet-baggers and
scalawags."
A COUPLE of up-river young men, says
the Lewisburg Chronicle, whose father, on

grave, as a token of their deep and hearty
gratitude. Who wouldn't be willing to die
il surrounded by family Of such ungrate-
full, half-developed Darwinans ? To which
we add the question Isn't it cheering to
risk bodily health and the souls salvation
to make money for such children
"OF all the prominent men in the coun-
try,n says shrewd old Jere Black Horace
Greeley is the only one who lacks every
single qualification for the Presidency"
The New York Times is confident that
New York State will give larger majority
for the Republicans next fall than she has
done for many year past.
THE Oil City Bulletin, always a strong
Democratic paper, cannot 60 Greeley, and
comes out fair and square for Grant. Ol
the two candidates, the Bulletin thinks
Grant the best fitted for the office, and
this is what tens of thousands of honest
Democrats also think
THE Scranton Republican, which has
heretofore opposed IIartranft and Allen,
on the Republican State Ticket, has with
drawn its opposition, and now gives the
whole ticket n cordial support.

GEN. JouN +. HARTRANFT's manage
ment of Tie State finances, as Auditor
General, has kept all State securities at a
premium. He has collected more outstand-
ing taxes, and paid more Of the State debt,
than any Auditor-G General since the office
was made elective. The result of which is
to put the credit of the Commonwealth at
a premium. The charges made against
him in certain newspapers claiming TO be
Republican, are without the shadow of
foundation, and these papers know them to
be so but they arc made TO mislead for
personal ends.
