The Pennsylvania Resolutions.

! The following are among the resou-
tons adopted by the recent Pennsylvania
Republican Stata Convention;
Resolcsd, That we declare firm, unqualified adj
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 unalterably opposed to the election to
the Presidency OF any person for third term.
ReSot0ed, That the Republican party this Com
monwealth recall with pride their elective agency
in the creation of the Administration of President
Ulysses 5. Grant, and point with confidence to It's
general policy and the beneicent fruits thereof for
their vndcation and his; that, having received the
Government from his predecessor demora.

lessness in office the rule, the fruits of the
war ungathered the elyrebellious States suen,
the late slaves unprotected and yet denied that
great means Of set-protecton the ballot, and for
eign States unchastised for their wrongs us the
Administration Of President Grant has in six short
years steadily and unpretendingly reformed every
known abuse, and is to-day relentlessly upon the
track OF wrong doors; has largely reduced the
| tons debt, has inhexibly punished all violations
OF laws has secured by constitutional provision

sorey needed safeguards around the ballot-boy;
has wrung from unfriendly foreign States confes-
sion Of their faults and PREPARATION for injuries done
Us, and has influenced reluctant home States 10 at
least the appearance OF just dealings with all their
cltizens-all OF which events make the present Ad-
mlnistration as among the most brilliant III achieFe

Resolred. That we arraign the Democratic party
of Pennsylvania for the utter failure TO redeem the
promise upon which it partially attained TO power
in this State 1t pledged itself to reform, to leeis
lative purity, to greater economy and to high
aim in legislation while it has reformed nothing,
has economical in nothing, and has dishonoFed
the State by an unseemy and arbitrary exercise OF
legislative power.
Resolred. That the effort now being made blythe
National Administration to ferret ont and bring TO
punishment those who have been defraudng the
Government of its lawful revenues should enlist
the sympathy and hearty support OF honest men OF
all parties.

An Authorized Explanation OF the
Presidents Letter.

The Washington NationSl Republi.cn 80
the 3lst ult prints an authoritative exn,a.
nation OF the Presidents third term Letter
from which the following extracts arc
taken:
The proper time has arrived: an A..
knowledged authority has spoken regard
| ing the third-term question, and Presfdnn,
Grant has written the most important doc.
ument Of his public career, declarinc be

and dignified explanation Of his silence RI.

who understand the character of man
who has habituatcd himself and whose ey

methods, and whose greatest successes

| powerful in the selection of their officials
and that no constitutional prohibition ey'
/ lists to prevent them from electing Presi.
/ dent for third term, is concisely nut in
such way as to show that it 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
it, and no one man, however powerful, can
dictate his own personal advancement
either to his party or to the country at
large. He admits, however, what every
! loyal man has often felt, that emergencies
might arise which would render it imper.
atively necessary that President should
be reelected for third term. 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 soundness of this deduction
but he adds very pointedly 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 will malicious.
| ly construe this defense to mean some
thing more than q plain Interpretation of
the words used will indicate, but he can
afford, under the circumstances, to suffer
further misrepresentation. In fact, he ex.
poets 1t, as the natural result of the disap-
pointment which the letter will 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 inclinations of his own heart

man Of the recent Pennsylvania Republican
State Convention, written under date of May
-, has been published, in which he disclaims
all desire for denomination; says in the first
place he never sought the office for a second,
nor even for first nomination, and as for
the third term he does not want it
any more than he did the first He
says: 81 am not nor have | ever been a
candidate for Il denomination. | would not
accept a nomination ii it were rendered, UNI

as to make it an imperative duty--circum-
stances not likely to arise

The Same Everywhere.

The New York Tribune does notadmire
the tactics of the New Hampshire Democ-
racy. In order to secure little brief au-
thority Gov. Weston and his Council
threw out 300 votes cast for Nathaniel
Head because the name on the ballots was
printed Matt Head,n and then 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 Tribune de,
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 car,
vass in which his party was making an
the capital it could by denouncing the
salary grab as an Administration measure
ard urging the people to rebuke such DIS
honesty by returning Democrats to Con-
greSs-and who, Immediately after me
votes were counted, sent on and drew MS
share of the grab-was a fair ILLUSTRATOR
Of the average regard for honesty ana le-
cency Of the leaders of the party IN the
State" We only wish to add that modern
Democracy is the same everywhere.-
