We denounce these methods, these measures and
these men, as unworthy the support OF an honest
and free people, and we invite all Of every shade
of political opiuion, to unite with us in delivering
the commonwealth from their hateful rule.
We have given to our readers the form
ulated aud expressed opinions of the
democracy of the second state in population
of the whole country, in order that they
may be enabled to see and Judge for
themselves in regard to the sentiments so
expressed. In this connection we subjoin
the remarks of our brilliant and always
profound contemporary, the Union, which
under the head of Mobocrdg speaks of
this same convention as follcws
Wherever there is a Democratic conven-
ton there is apt to be a row. The
Democracy has always enjoyed the proud
distinction of being considered the mobo-
cracy of the country, and it never misses
an opportunity of showing how sweet unto
its soul season of choas is. The men in
in Congress who are plotting to Mexicanize
our politics are representative of the party
of disorder, confusion, anarchy-the party
that is not happy unless it is kicking up a
disturbance, The Democratic State
Convention of Pennsylvania, which was
held in Plttsburg last week, was what may
be called Spirited" gathering and must
have done the hearts Of the faithful good
throughout the land.
1t is refreshing to know that the repub
lican press are still intent on representing
the republican party as the essence of al
intelligence, virtue, morality, and propriety
and in holding the democratic party up t
view as a mere mob, and we take pleasure
in contrasting the vituperative language o
our contemporary with that of the New
York World upon the same subject. Thu
remarks of the latter having been mad
some days in advance of our cotemporarie
diatribe, there Is of course only an acct
dental application, but if reply had beer
designed it could scarcely have been NOR
appropriate:
The classic John Van Buren, once wei
said that the falling out of democrats
even as the collision of cats. 1t is tn
beginning OF heavy democratic gains
Thus will it prove 10 Pennsylvania, wher
lively conflict in the democratic conven
ton has resulted 10 the nomination of Mr.
Andrew II. Dill for governor, and 10 th
adoption of strong, oGtspoken platform
| The nomination of Mr.. Dill means that tn
centre of the democratic party, led b
Senator Wallace, has triumphed over
temporary alliance between its right an
left wings, led by Speaker Randall
Doubtless the result will surprise tn
correspondents of some of our esteeme'
contemporaries, who had constructed
tremendous Pennsylvania ring for th
pleasure of smashing it, and who ha
made all their arrangements for transfer

A Material Change Needed.

The house Of Representatives by a
small majority has decided upon the
transfer of the management Of Indian
affairs to the war department. Should
the senate, concur in the action of the
house, an important change will be the
result. Whether or not the transfer is
the most desirable thing that could be
done is still an open question, bat tina;
the enormous corruptions aud abuses
which have grown up in connection with
the Indian affairs Of the government need
to be remedied and done away is very
generally conceded. Perhaps almost any
change would be preferable to the presen
condition of affairs, coupled as they arr
with continued scandals and hot>beds o
corruption IN the shape of Indian agencies

THE EUROPEAN CONGRESS.

There is now a good prospect of an
adjustment Of the Eastern Question. The

been issued, and as Russia has conceded

Sterano shall be submitted to the consid-
GRAFTON of the proposed Congress it is to
be expected that peaceful solution of the
matters at variance between the inter
ested Powers may now be reached,
Various causes will be assigned for this
result according to the stand point from
which the questions at issue may be viewed,
and in fact there is little doubt but that
more than one or two primary causes have
entered more or less into the question, and
have each and all had something to dc
with bringing about an understanding, and
the arrangement of the preliminaries so far
as they have gone. The condition of Rus
sian finances may reasonably be conceded

large extent of her territory and the i'm
mense numbers Of her population, the
drain upon her Treasury has been constant
and heavy, and she is just now in that

An Untrue Report.

4 report has been started in this
city that the World gets the sub
stance of its editorials from certain
prominent Republicans. The report
was that we were touching up some
Republicans for being in league with
the Democrats TO create prejudice
against them. They also claim that
the statement was false. The cditori-
ais published in this paper are writ
ten by tho editor, without using points
furnished by any one. We are willing
to stand by all we say. Truth is
stronger than fiction. aud sometimes
very disagreeabIe. When any man
complains aud grumbles at our edito
rails, in which, as yet. we have not
been personal, lie conyicts himself
without further evidence. The best
thing men can do when their tender
spots are touched is to keep quiet Do
not say we mean you. 1t may 6e

pointed when the nominations are
made, and we may not have occasion
to use their names.
