The Pennsylvania Resolutions.

The following f.e among the resolu-
tions adopted by the recent Pennsylvania
Republican Stata Convention:
ResoiOed, That we declare firm, unqualified ad-
herence to the unwritten law OF the Republic
which wisely and under the sanction OF the most
venerable Of examples limits the Presidential
service of any citizen TO two terms, and we, the
Republicans Of Pennsylvania. in recognition OF
this law, are unaeraby opposed 10 the election to
the Presidency Of any person for a third term.
ResOlUed, That the Republican party Of this Com
mOuwealth recall with pride their effective agency
in the creation OF the Administration of President
Ulysses 5. Grant, and point with confidence TO Its
general policy and the benedcent fruits thereof for
their yindicaiOn and his, that, having received the
Government from his predecessor demoral

lessness in Office the rule, the fruits OF the
war ungaihered, the aely-rebellious States sulen,

great means OF seh-pfotccton the ballot, and for
eign States unchastsed for their wrongs to u.s. the
Administration Of President Grant has in six short
years steadily and unpretendingly reformed every
known abuse, and is to-day reentlessly upon the
track OF wrongdoers; has largely reduced the ma
tiOn's debt, has infexiby punished all violations
Of laws, has secured by constitutional provision
the ballot 70 all freemen, and By law thrown
sorely-needed safeguards around the ballOt-box;
has wrung from unfrendly foreign States confess
sion OF their faults and reparation for Injuries done
us, and has influenced reluctant home States TO at
least the appearance OF Just dealings with all their
citizens-all OF which events make the present Ad-
minstraton among the most brilliant in achieve

An Auth,yhed Explanation Of the
Presidcnt,s Letter.

The Washington National Republican Of
the 31st ult. prints an authoritative cXpla-
nation of the Prcsideht's third-term letter,
from which the following extracts are
taSensa q ra a "a. IN e.gr.
The proper time has arrived; On ac-
knowledged authority has spoken. fefard.
ing the third-tefm question, and President
Grant has written the most important doc.
ument of he public career, declaring he
is not caHdidate for ornominatious 1t will
be read with rare interest and deeper con-
ccrn by the American people than any po.
litical document ever writteny Tho fFm
and digDi6ed exnl4natioueo his silence re-
garding1bis matter will not surprise those
who undcfsand the schnracer offa man
who has lihbitpatdd himself and whose eX-
pelionce has Taught hilnsto roly.onhs own
methods, and whose greatest successes
have been won as the result of quiet indie
pcndence of thought and discreet selfsde-
pendcncc. Otherwise the letter Is uniquely
characteristic and remarkable for the ab-
sence of clap-trap and the ordinary rhetor-
ical subtertuges of politicians. Even the
argument that the people alone are all
powerful in the selection of their officials,
and that no constitutional prohibition ex-
lists 10 prevent them from eleeting q Presi-
dent for a third term, is concisely put, in
such a way as to show that il has no per-
sOnal application, but is used as an answer
to the ISLANDERS Of his enemies. To his
mind it appears that no man can control
his own political future, except TO destroy
IL, and no one man, however powerful, can
dictate his own personal Advancement
either to his party or to the country ut
large. He admits, however, what. every
loyal man has often felt, that emergencies
might arise which would render it imper-
atively necessary that a President should
be reelected for third term. 4 While
contemplating the condition of affairs
which would have existed if President
Lincoln had lived, and the war had lasted
until the end of his second term, no one
will deny the soundncss of this deduction
but he adds very pointetlly that such
emergencies are not now probable.
In this he simply defends the rights of
the people, by showing their power to
thwart the schemes of ambitious men, and
their authority to select their own rulers,
in accordance with constitutional limits.
There may be those who VIII malicious
ly construe this defense to mean some
thing more than a plain interpretation of
the words used will indicate but he can
afford, under the circumstances, to suffer
further Misrepresentation In fact, he ex-
poets il, a. the natural result of the disap-
pointmcnt which the letter win give to
one class of his enemies, and the eXalta-
ton of another class who will boast that
he had been forced by them to speak
against the inclinatiQns Of his own heart.

For gems made of Graham flour and

been built some time before they were

slower fire, but it should be even and

The New York Tribune does not admire
the tactics of the New Hampshire Demoe-
racy. In order to secure little brief au-
thOrity Gov. Weston and his Council
threw out 3,700 votes cast for Nathaniel'
Head because the name on the ballots was
printed Matt. Head, % and fiieh all the
votes for another candidate were rejected
because he was declared not TO have re-
sided in the State the requisite. length OF
time to become eligible. The s1ribaRs dee
nounces this partisan folly in unmeasured
terms, remarking that "the Democratic
Congressman from that State who left his
back pay in the Treasury during the can
yass in which his party WIS making all
the capital il could by denouncing the
salary-grab as an ADMINISTRATION measure
and urging the people torebuke such dis
honesty by returning DEMOCRATS to Con.
greSs-and who, Immediately after the
votes were counted, sent on and drew his

of the average regard for honesty and de-
cency Of the leaders Of the party in the

Convention, Which met at Columbus on
the 2d:
The Republicans OF Ohio, In convention assem-
blcd, reairmlng the cardinal principles of their or
guniZatiou, which have become maxins Of policy,
State and national declare on specific points the
series of sentiments following:
l. The States arc one as a nation and all citizens
equal under the laws and entitled to their full
est protection.
2 That the policy of finance should be steadily
purs ued which, without unnecessary shock 10 bust
ness or trade will ultimately eQunlize the purchas-
ing capacity Of the coin and paper dollar.
3. We are in favor Of tariff for revenue, with in
cidental protection to American industry.
4. We stand by free education, our pubic-school
system, the taxation of all for Its support, and
division of the school fund
5. Under our republican system OF government
there should be no connection, direct or indirect,
between church and State, and we oppose all legis-
lation in the interest OF any particular sect. Upon
this subject we should not fail to profit by the ex-
pcGience of foreign Governments, where the efforts
of the church TO control the state constitute an
evil of great magnitude and endnnger tha power
and prosperity of the people. f.- s..r ..
8. We demand such arey1sion ofthe Patent laws

Der the services of soldiers and sailors, and it
is due to them that iberality and generosity should
obtain In the adjustment OF pay and bounties.
&. That we demand that the public domain shall
be serupulously reserved for occupancy BY actual
settlers.
o. The Determination OF the Government to coll
lect the revenues and prevent and punish frauds
has our unqualified approval.
10 That the power of municipal corporations to
create debts should be restricted, and local and
other expenditures should be so reduced as to
diminish taxation.
II. The observance OF Washington's example in
retiring at the close Of second Presidential term
will be in the future it has been in the past

II. The distinguished success Of his administra-

fhu spelling mania" has been very
c0htaqicus t1ffinu two or three months
past One can hardiy take up a newspa-
per. printed anywhere from Maine 70
Nebraska, without finding In IL an account
Of one or more spelling, matches Prob
ably not less than 10000 such contests
have Dcen held this year, IN which an
average Of fifty persons have boen directly
engaged, and all of these million people,
young and old, have performed deal OF
studsing over the right photography Of
very large number Of words. Then an
bteragc Of over 100 persons have attended
these matches rs spectators, and carefully
watched the,spolling OF, every word put
out so that at least 100000 to 1000 900
people have improved their spelling abil-
ity 10 a considerable extent. We know
that in single locality at least 100 fami-
lies were actively engaged, parents and
chileren, morning, noon and night, in go
ing over and over the spelling-books and
lists of "tcst words, :" while in the shops,
stores and manufactures the right SPELL
ing of this and that word has been the
main topic of conversation. Even in
barbcfshop the retailing of scandal and
unimportant news has given place 10
spelling discussions; and had not the
Beccher trial. come in 10 claim eXtraor-
dinary attention, perhaps 'threefourths
of our WHOLE population would have had
spelling on the brain"
We look with good deal Of favor upon
all this Even if it stop right here the in
tluence willcontinue many years. Every
body will be more careful about sending
out, letters and other written documents
defaccd with badly-spelled words, which
always give Che impression Of illiteracy.
These matches have afforded much amuse-
ntcnt, and that of far more useful char
acter than a majority of the entertain
ments commonly supplied. For example,
take two benevolent societies we know of.
One of them held n fair" for which a
lot Of fancy articles of nearly useless
character were got up with much time and
expense, and the attendants were dra.
gooned into buying what they did not
want, and had no earthly use for-all " for
the good of the cause" The ending and
chief attraction of the affair was a sort of
"kissing bee" The net proceeds were
sixty-five dollars, including the income of
lottery ring-cake and lottery grab-bag.
The other society had a spelling match, to
which q few leading citizens lent their in
iluence as participants, and were followed
by the young people generally. The only
preparation was the useful spelling study
in families. The net result of the quiet
but amusing entertainment was over
scventy-iives dollars taken at the door
This last is only one of several thousand
similar doubly useful enterprises of the
present year We sincerely hope the
spelling campaign will reopen next
autumn with increased energy, and also
thatsthe good old plan of choosing sides
and spelling matches in all our public
schools will be the order. They will
furnish legitimate entertainment having
no unhealthful moral tone, and we shall,
as a nation, become far better "spellers."
