The Look Ahead.

The reverses which have befallen
the Republican party will in the
end, we believe, turn out to be real
benefit to IT instead of an injury.
They will serve to purify it and
make it better able TO cope with its
old enemy, Democracy, in the years
that are to come. 1t cannot be seri-
ously harmed nor permanently dis
abled if the principles OF truth and
Justice are eternal, for it is founded
upon them. While they remain it
viii have its mission, and continue
to be a power in the land, notwith-
standing the clouds that may from
time to time oyershadow it. The
party is in reality no weaker to-day
than it was last year, as is conclusive
ly proven by the fact that the DemOc-
racv shows no increase Of strength.
We were defeated, not because we
had not voters enough, but because
they remained away from the polls.
There is one fact to he learned
from the result Of TUESDAYS election
and it will be well if it is needed
alike by both Republicans and Dem
ocrats. That fact is that the people
are more independent Of party than
they formerly were. Men are think
ing and acting for themselves, and
as matter OF consequence refuse to
vote for candidates that do not pos
sess their confidence Political pro-
fessions and platforms count for
very little now, as compared with
their former influence. The great
demand of the public is for honest
and capable men in all official sta
tions. We rejoice that 1t is SO, fol
the sure result will be to compel po-
iitical parties to be more careful in
the selection Of their standard bear
ers.
The defeat of least Tuesday rem
dcrs 1t certain that, for the ncxt
three years, at least. we shall have to
contend with the Democratic party.
/ That fact ensures the election OF q
/ Republican President in 1876, ano'
! probably a Republican Governor OF
/ NV York in 1874. This will more
Jh@n compensate for our present de
feat; and if in the meantime, our
party leaders shall learn wisdom
IRON their experience, our present
misfortune will turn out to be but
the discipline necessary to prepare
the party for greater triumphs over
wrong in the future than it has
achieved i'll the pas;.-BuBolo EE,

IN. J. EraageiiSt) entitled Not
Quite so Fast, Brethren, " and indeed

question" | have sometimes been sad

sons, to deter them from coming un-

thou wilt, slavery. still thou art cruel,
and though thousands of all ages are
in thy cruel grasp, thou art no less
bitter on that account and if this
vast number is increasing in our
land, shall we make light of our po-

"Oh! wretched men that we are, who

not easily got rid of-or much long

Ed. JOURNAL: The quarterly meet
ing at Lewi.vjlle, has actually been
held. For some time it had been re-
garded as a future event that was
almost certain to come, but the time
Of its arrival could only be coniec-
tured. Rev. Mr.. Davies announced
it for Oct. 25th and 26th, and on the
last named day it was set down for
the evening of Nov. 2nd. If another
change was contemplated the notice
did not arrive in time to prevent a
large congregation from assembling
to hear the Presiding Elder. They
were doomed to disappointment in
this, but Rev. Mr.. Davies preached
an excellent discourse and then the
Quarterly Conference met and tran
sacted its appropriate business. Why
Rev. Rice was not there no one could
tell, but it was suggested that the
time had not been changed a sutfi-
cient number of times yet.
The Quarterly Meeting for the
Lewisville charge Immediately pre-
ceeding this was first announced for
about the middle of August and then
changed from time to time about
four times and finally came off a lit
tie before the middle of September.
Quite a number of those who desired
10 attend had lost track of it as it
skipped about and only learned the
exact time of its occurrence when it
had become an event of the past.
The congregation was small and in
taking up the usual collection it was
found to be far below the required
While efforts were being
made TO raise the balance. an "uncon-
yerted friend" suggested to the Stew
ard, in a whisper, that as this was
only one of about four appointments
of this identical Quarterly Meeting,
the balance of the collection should
be raised at the other appointments.
proposed that the balance,
when raised, should be turned over
to Rev. Mr.. Vanvradenburg to pay
him for the several extra announce
ments he had been compelled to
make. This would seem to have
been just use OF a portion of the
collection however raised.

On the 9th of the present month,
j as everybody knows, is Thanksgiving
day; and how many Thanksgiving
! dinners will be prepared at an extra
expense in Potter county Will the
number be less than one thousand or
! the average additional expense be
less than one dollar each? well, -
replies my well-to-do neighbor, "sup-
pose the people or the County do pay
thousand dollars for their Thanks
giving dinners; have they not the
right to do so. and have We not much
to be thankful for? Let your mind
glance back over the last twelve
Years" lie continues, land then say
if we. the American people, should
not be very grateful for the blessings
conferred on rs as 4 nation within
those years Z" Twelve years ago the
sun shone on three hundred thou
sand Rebel bayonets charged at the
nations heart; twelve years ago the
tramp Of the Union soldier was heard
from Maine to California-from the
great lakes Of the north to the di-
vision line between freedom and sla-
very, all hHrrying to the field Of con-
tlict. Then. too, more than three
millions Of Gods men and women
groaned under the "sum Of all vii
lianies.' Then. too, the soul of John
Brown had but newly arrived in
Heaven and the hands of his mur-
derers were still red with his blood.
How is to-day? Slaves do not
breathe in Columbia. Those mil
lions Of slaves are slaves no longer,
but men before the law. A few are
in the council chambers of the nation,
some inthe various professions-law,
medicine and divinity, still more en-
gagged rs teachers in the schools of
our country-all moving forward to
q higher and nobler life. And the
million armed soldiers of the North
and South, Cincinnatus-like, re-
turned to their homes-following the
piow, or pursuing other peaceful and
profitable empIoyments. In view
of all these blessings. should we not
indeed be ingrates We're we unthank-
ful or did not duly observe the day
designated by our chief magistrate?

The Constitutional Convention,

The Constitutional Convention.
This body has completed its work.
The new Constitution proposed by
it is to be submitted to q yoLe of the
people on the third Tuesday of De-
cember next, being December l6.
with our next number we expect to
send outan exact copy of the proposed
lew Constitution which we hope and
believe will be fayorably received by
all the people.
OF course there are some proyi-
sioas in it that each voter would pre-
fer to have omitted, lest taken as a
whole we feel very confident it is a
great improvement on our present
Constitution.
The people in the new and smaller
counties have great reason to be
pleased with the work Of the Con
yention. The new Constitution will
secure to every county Represen-
tative in the Legislature. The value
Of this provision to the small coun-
ties can hardly be over-estimated.
1t VIII secure an annual appropria-
tion to the common schools of lat
least one million Of dollars" that is
42.9 per cent more than the largest
sum heretofore appropriated. School
districts that now receive from the
State 500 will receive if the new
Constitution is adopted at least
SI42.90. all others in the same
proportion. We trust this generous
provision for the support of the com
mon schools viii enlist the active sup
port OF every voter in Potter county
in favor Of the new Constitution.
There are many other provisions
Of great Importance, all OF which are
in the interest Of honesty, justice and
tie welfare Of the people. There is
not single change proposed that
will meet the approval Of those who
desire dishonest legislation or who
live 10y dishonest political move
mcnls. This fact ought to commend
the instrument and We believe will
10 it, to the great mass Of the peo-
PIE. Tor these always prefer to re
folm acknowledged evils when a sure
opportunity is offered.

Certainly, | answer, we have very
much for which to be thankful. Sla-
very is a thing, and very hateful
thing, of the past.
The shock of contending armies Is
no more heard or felt-not rebel
musket is shouldered, not sabre
CLEANS in defiance OF law, not bu-
Gle calls to arms. The absent loved
ones have returned and ''soft-eyed
peace" spreads her wings caressingly
over us.
But wait, did all the soldiers-all
the absent loved ones return? Are
there no vacancies around the Thanks
giving board2 All, YES, and in hearts,
too. The glorious achievements of
which we are justly proud and for
which we are devoutly thankful, were
won at fearful cost. From this
same little county Of Potter went
forth at their country's call nearly
three hundred brave young hearts
which have long since ceased to pull
sate-some Of them were stilled by
Rebel bullets, some by burning tc-
vers contracted III miasmatic regions
of the South, and some by a process
practiced only by tiends who could
fight for slavery, namely, starvation
These three hundred yoiceless bodies
now sleep in nameless graves under
the sands of the sunny south. We
to-day are proud of, and give thanks
for the achievements for which they
gave their lives. They partake not
of our joyous thanksgiving to-day
though their blood helped us to the
victory. No stone reared 10y friends
marks their resting place-no moth
ers, wives or sisters hands strew
flowers over their graves. Their
bodies will rest and return to their
kindred dust where they now repose,
and shall their deeds and names also
sink into oblivion?
4 monument to their memory has
been commenced and carried forward
as far as the funds collected would
10 it, the work being now suspended
for want of means. A few hundred
dollars paid over 10 the treasurer,
Hon. A. G.. Olmsted, will complete
it. Can we not afford to pay as
much towards the erection of a tomb
stone to the memory of our dead he
roes as We pay for a single dinner !?
Friends, citizens. men, and last but not
least, women of Potter county. when
you come around your Thanksgiving
table will you bear this subject in
mind and send to the Treasurer one
half az much as your dinner costs !
If you do the monument will he com
pleted. We have disgraced ourselves
too long already by neglecting what
we each and all know to he a simple
act of justice in memory ofthose who
went down to soldiers graves. Let
Us finish this wo!k AMI then thank
God that we have one sin less OF
omission to account for.

!. The Immediate followers of the i'm
mortal Wesley were first called
Methodists from their regular and
exact manner of living, but some OF
his distinguished disciples in these
days do not seem to consider the
time of holding Quarterly Meetings

this is a great improvement upon old
