understand how to guard as we'll rs
protect it. Unless there be some
honesty compounded with the
general disposition of all bills of
appropriation passed by Congress,
the peopIo will ere long rise in their
might and demand from those who
are ruinously representing them,
an abandonment of the seats they
fill or q return to an economic ad,
ministration of public affairs. We
long for this action and for the
time to come when tho American
people will give it tangible express
sion. The old land marks, Gus,

try are sacred things, and we dis
like to see them brushed away when
no other necessity demands it, bu,

LEARN TRADEs.--Th is an unfortu-
nate tendency among the youth Of the
present day to neglect the acquiring Of
Of some useful trade, to go into business,
which means the coming to the city to 60
into store at small salary with small
or chances Of advance. A large majority
Of eur young men seem to feel that II is
not honorableto be carpenters, blacksmiths
or machinists. No greater mistake could
be made. Young men from the country,
do not be too anxious to quit the patsrnal
roof. Do not be allured by the glittering
inducements Of great cities to turn your
backs upon the experience and advice Of
your fathers. Above all things, before
goiug to encounter tho vioissitudes Of for
tune, arm yourself with q thorough knowl-
edge of some branch oflabor. Many young
men Of talent and promise become fail
ures, because they start out in life without
any specific purpose, and drift around
without rudder or compass until they arc
completely shipwrecksd. No matter how
fair your prospects may be, no timeis lost
which is spent in the learning of good
trade, and no greater mistake was ever
made, than supposing that there was any
thing dishoDorable or undigniied in the
calling of the carpenter, the shoemaker
or the cooper, gunsmith, blacksmith or
any other trade.

Saturday Night.

This issue closes another week,
leaving tho remembrance of duties
conscientiously performed, and
awakening hopes of happier days.
Indeed, the prosperity Of general
surroundings suggests a return of
the Golden and golden" times,
when it was delight to dwell in
and an honor to hail from our
own Sunny South. Political op-
preston is fast losing its polluting
sway, and at least in a local sense,
honesty and dignity, are supplant-
ing corruption and rufianism re-
sentiment for past atlliction is pass
ing under the veil Of pity, and the
bright sun of redemption casts its
inspiring influence over all around
us. Hero under our own vine and
fig tree hopeful countenances and
drawer and more cheerful
hearts move around in life's
great battle, feeling that their ex-
pectations will not prove abortive.
All branches of industry and en-
terprise are we'll represented COM
petition makes tho contest lively,
and though to the "victor belongs
tho spoils," no unfair means are re-
sorted to to accomplish the con-
quest. Writing in the "wee sma'
hours of night" uncontrolably our
thoughts revert to another section
we once called home, and while We
compare the activity here with the
sluggishness and general stagna-
tion there, we can only commiser-
ate those who, "hiding their light
under q bushel," cling to old asso
Citations, that, alas now possess
no charms. We have occupied our
allotted space-as we have done,
"act we'll thy part, there all the
honor lies !" and, in saying "good
night" allow us to suggest fol
your guidance, the advice given to

A LEGAL OPINIoN.-In regard to
the selling of liquors by druggists,
Judge Dean, of the Blair District,
gave his views as follows:
Druggists are authorized to sell
liquor for medical purposes, subject,
however, to the risk of indictment. A
physicians prescription is not in itself
a safeguard for the druggist. If the
latter, even on the prescription of a
regular physician, sells liquor TO per.
sons of known incorporate habits, or
to those who are known to use liquor
as a beverage, he is liable to indict.
ment, and if found guilty, will he
punished to the extent of the law. In
short, in the opinion of the Court, a
druggist who sells for any purpose
whatever, or upon the prescription of
the most eminent physician in the
county, does so at his own risk"

our people would not feel safe. They
would much rather have nobody"
Now we submit that this gross in.
justice to Maclay. The Democracy Of
Clarion county run Nobody" against
him in the person Of Brown last fall,
and Maclay came out with very re-
spectacle majority. And Brown may
live four score years and he never will
be able TO forget that same defeat.
The position of Democratic Clarion
as seen in the action of these conferees
and the Democratic papers is just
this:
We can elect Representative with
out the aid of Forest, and because we
can, we will. In other words, might
makes right" We have had the office
two terms, and Forest is, by all fair
usage entitled to it. But we cannot
afford to let our conscience dictate to
US in this matter; we want the Repre-.
sentative, can get it, and scM take Il,
right or wrong.
Now let the Republicans of this
district agree on a man for the posi-.
tion, and if we don't set this gang back
as far as Brown went last fall, then
we're no prophet.

THE ASSEMBLY QUESTION.

The Clarion Democrat defends the
action of the Clarion county conferees.
The Jacksonian of last week did not
come to hand, but we are perfectly
easy about it, because it has known
nobody but Williams since he was
nominated, and is not going to change
its tune at this late day, although al
most any change would produce more
melody. Now that'sall we want to know
of those Clarion papers. To en-
dorse set Of proceedings such as were
enacted at Fryburg is enough to con-
vince all fair-minded men that it is
mot principles but the Assemblyman,"
they are after; and if he is by any
chance elected, it will be an election
entirely devoid of all principle.
What are the facts in regard to the
pseudo-nomination? Just these: Three
conferees from Clarion, instructed for
Williams, and three from Forest, in
structed for Winans met at Fryburg,
and took several ballots without max
ing choice. At length the Chain
man, who was chosen from the Clarion
Delegation, declared Mr.. Williams
nominated, while each of the candi-
dates had the same number of votes
Then another of the Clarion delegates
popped the question, "Shall the deci-
sion of the chair stand as the voice of
the convention ?" The secretary put
the question and the chair voted to sus-
tain the chair, making tie vote. Then
as the negative didn't have a MAORI
ty The decision of the chair was de-
clared by the chairman, sustained.
There's Parliamentary usage! There's
logic There's wisdom There's States
manship! There's honesty and there's
decency, with a vengeance. And the
Clarion papers endorse this kind of
highway robbery We never doubted
their disposition to take all there was,
and ask for more, but to endorse such
proceedings as the above denotes a
shamelessness and a lack of decency
such as we never before gave them credit
for. The Democrat explains, in part,
why Clarion conferees acted with such
greedy haste and overbearing dishon-
esty, in the following words:
Circumstances over which we had
no control, have arisen, which made
the Democrats of Clarion county feel
that the candidate could not be yielded
at this time to our Forest friends"
Consequently they were obliged to
resort to trickery which if it were not
so foolish and "thin" as to be irresista-
bly, laughable would digrace Boss
Buck and his confederates.
But Brown has still that Maclay
thorn in his side, and seldom lets a
chance slip of showing his spite to-
ward the man who occupies the posi-
,tion which Brown thinks he ought to
occupy. This is his last jab;
with Maclay, a mere tool of a
Radical faction, as the only Reppesen-
tative OF Clarion county at Harrisburg

JUDGE GORDON AT HoME.-The
following dispatch to the Pittsburgh
Commercial from Brookville, the home
of Hon. I. G. Gordon, Republican
candidate for Judge of the Supreme
Court, is evidence of his popularity at
home.
Last evening our lively town was
thrown into great excitement on re-
ceiving from all parts. of the State dis.
patches announcing that Hon. /. G..
Gordon, of Brookville, had received
the nomination for Supreme Judge.
Many of our citizens wound their way
to the Judges residence, and rendered
their congratulations and their support
in securing his election. Judge Cor.
don will without any doubt receive
the entire Republican vote, and may
safely say at least two-thirds of the
Democratic vote of this county,"
