history Of events since then show that
they based their ideas upon apoor foun'
dation. for the cross became the emblem
Of Christian faith and triumph through
out the world.
In connection with this subject, the
New York Sun says: ut is common to
charge the Jews with the crueidIion OF
Christ. This is an error. aud the charge
is Indignantly repelled by the Israslites

oSE OF the things which the latest
cipher TRANSACTIONS show most clearly is
the elaborate character OF the scheme
for buying a Presidency which the CO.
parceners undertook. Florida was com.
plet-ly covered with secret agents, each
armed with a different cipher, and each
bent on securing a Democratic majority
at any cost. Moses was the grand-head'
center OF the scheme. IL is doubtful II
there was ever another conspiracy, or
ganized with such minuteness and with
such disregard Of either expense or
morality, which produced such utterly
trivial results. The genius OF Moses
was limited entirely to the invention Of
new eiPhers and TO spending with a
reckless hand the Copenhagen OF Mr.
Tilden. When 1t came to accomplishing
anything he wa a dead failure.

Hon. A. IL. CoFFRoTH was NOM
mated for Congress by the Demo.
cratic Conference that assembled at
Cresson on Tuesday last, on the 34th
ballot His competitors were Cress-
well OF Blair; Linton and Banner Of
Cambria ; and Hartley, Kerr aud
Reynolds of Bedford.
1t is not very flattering to CofIroih,
but the Democratic papers of Bed
ford and Cambria assert that if Will
liam J. Baer had assented be would
have been nominated on first or second
ballot, Notwithstanding this county
had passed him by, and instructed
for Coffroth. Bser, however was too
shrewd to accept a nomination with
the almost certainty of having his
throat cut al home if be did so, and
magnanimously declined the tempting
offer. CoiTroth's record makes him
decidedly the weakest candidate that
could have been selected, and the
friends OF General Campbell are
grateful accordingly.

In his speech accepting that nomi-

Gazette reports General Coffroth as
saving: lie stood squarely with

issue; favored the repeal Of the
Resumption act, and the r%emonetiza-
ton Of silver greenbacks should be
made Of equal value with gold and
silver ; the government should no
longe, discredit its paper, but it
should be received in payment of
public and private dues" Oh! Gen.
eral General! How could you thus
go down on your belly TO the Green
back calf, and be so inconsistency,
absurdIy illogical? BY resumption
it is proposed to pay out specie for
the redemption of greenbaeks, and
yet you are opposed to Resumption,
but insist that greenbacks shall be
made equal with gold and silver.
Such magnificent 6napeiering is only
equaled by that of the man who kill
ed the goose that daily laid the gold
en- egg. The government discredit
its paper, ebg when you won't allow
it to resume specie payments and pay
gold for il ,!ii
