would say he was as much responsible
as any one. His father! must he
know itp Could he ever hold up his
head again if such disgrace came up
on him?
"I'll never tell him." thought Bert;
sit would not do the least good now,
and it would nearly kill him. I've done
with those boys, though, and with such
frolics as they are up to-"
But it CHANGED that Bert was not to
have his own way about this matter
That evening when he came home
smarting under the modification of fail
ure in his lessons, and sense of re-
morse and shame at his own folly, his
father called him into his study. For
the first time in his life Bert really
dreaded an interview With his father,
and when he saw upon chair the hair
dresser's sign which he had helped to
fasten upon Mrs. McPherson's COW, he
was ready to sink with shame. His
father talked to him quietly, telling him
that for some time the neighborhood
had been annoyed by the mischievous
and malicious tricks of set of boys,
until some of the residents had deter
mined that they would discover them
and make a public example of them.
"If it could have been done sooner it
would have saved great deal of suffer-
ing to an innocent boy, but perhaps
some serious warning was needed for
those who do not hesitate to sacrifice
their best friends to what they call fun.

"AMERICAN POLITICS"

The attention of our readers is
directed to the address in this
issue of the CITIZEN bearing the above
title. Heretofore, about this time of the
year, when the "4th Of July" is COM
ing around, we made it a point to
hunt up and publish the Declaration
of Independence" or some other patri-
otic matter. But seeing this address of
Hon. VIM. III. Koontz, of Somerset,
Pa, we concluded we could not give
anything more timely or more needed
just now. He tells US Of the evils ex-
listing in our politics, in such manner
that we all know to be true. He then
points out the remedies; and the duty
of all good citizens to attend the pri-
mary meetings and Conventions, as
the great remedy. By this way only
can machine" and machine politicians
be defeated in their plots. Very recent
experience demonstrates that rings and
machines can be broken up, and will
Se broken up in the future, if the
great mass of the voters of both and al
parties take the proper interest in oul
politics that they should take. We
publish this address to aid, in our fee
ble way, in encouraging good men ant
good practices in our politics, and say
to all-read it.

The Difference.

The difference between Generals
Garfield and Hancock is, that the one
made himself all he is, while the Gov
ernment made the other all he is. Gar
6eld educated himself and rose to
fame and the Republican nomination
for the Presidency, through his own ef-
forts and merits; while Gen. Hancock
was educated by the Government and
made the reputation he has in the re-
gulsr army and that brought to him
the Democratic nomination. This is
difference the people Of the United
States should think of when voting next
November.
"TARIFF FOR REVENUE ONLY"
The above is the language of the
platform of the Cincinnati Convention
that nominated Gen. Hancock for the
Presidency. 1t is therefore the plat
form upon which he stands, and must
60 before the people Of Pennsylvania
upon it. A tariff "fcr revenue only" is
the old doctrine that would strike
down and destroy the great material
interests of this State. 1t means mo
protection to Pennsylvania interests" /"
The iron, coal, glass, and other inter-
ests Of the State, would perish the
moment protection against foreign
manufactures was withdrawn from
them and "tariff for revenue only"
substituted. Pennsylvania will not
vote for Hancock for that reason alone.

Mrs. Fry noticed one of the burglars in their

men that the same rules of honorable
conduct which govern in the ordinary
transactions of life must be rigidly ad-

of political affairs.
PRIVATE VS.. POLITICAL LIFE.
What, shall it be said that man
should be punctilious in the observance
of that which the highest sense OF
honor dictates to him in private trans
actions, and yet be morally indiffer-
ent to that which effects the interest of
the whole country That he shall
scorn meanness and trickery in all the
private affairs of life, and yet quietly
wink at them when the destinies of a
great nation hang in the balance
This is monstrous perversion of NOR
ality, and sooner it is determined by
men of all political parties, that trick
cry and chicanery of all sorts are to be
discountenanced in political matters,
the better it will be for the country. A
man might just as well be extremely
cautious that some petty interest be
preserved intact from injury and yet
unmindful if planet were to drop
from its sphere.
BRIBERY AND BRIBE TAKING.
Then come the offenses of bribery
and bribe taking; bribing Legislative
officers, which to the credit of the
country and the credit of our common
humanity are of rare occurrence but
Notwithstanding the fact that the late
constitutional convention in this State
endeavored to hedge around the busi
ness of legislation with all possible
safeguards, the recent conviction o.

MERCER COUNTY-CONGRESs

The Republicans of Mercer county
met in county convention at Mercer
on Tuesday of last week, %, inst, and
nut in nomination the following ticket:
Congress, Samuel Ell. Miller, Esq /,
Senate, HI. S. Blatt; Assembly, Thos.
Perry. S. M. Loveland and w. H..
Montgomery.
Mr.. Miller was nominated for Con-
gress by acclamation, Mr.. VIM. Achre,
his competitor for the nomination in
that County, having withdrawn his
name from before the Convention after
its meeting. Mr.. Miller is thus unani-
mously presented by his county.
The whole three counties of this
Congressional district having now
held their County Conventions and
named their candidates, the next thing
in order will be the meeting of the dis
trict conference, for the purpose OF de-
termining the nominee for the district.
The candidates of the different coun-
ties are as follows: Butler, j. ID. Nc
Junkin, ESQ.,; Mercer, S. II. Miller,
ESQ.,; Crawford, Col. w. B. Roberts
and Hon. S. B. Dick. 1t will be seen
there are two gentlemen in Crawford
county claiming to be the regular NOM
inee of that county, and we therefore
give both their names as above. This
arises from an unfortunate trouble had
in the Convention of that county, and
the rights of the two claimants we pre-
sumo will have to be decided by the
other counties of the district at the dis
trict conference The vote in Crawford
county on Congress it seems was close
between Messrs. Roberts and Dick and
the Return Judges to the Convention
were about equally divided on ques-
tions that came before them affecting
the regularity OF the returns from cef-
tain districts, the result of which was
that each of the candidates, Dick and
Roberts, were declared by their friends
| in the Convention as the regular nom
inee. 1t is to be regretted that they
could not, by decisive vote, have de
cided all matters while in Convention
as was done in this county. Thei
trouble appears to arise from the fac
that they were about equally divided
on certain questions and votes in thell
| Convention. We hope however thi
trouble in that county will not preven
a united agreement upon a candldat
for the district

HANCOCK.

The Democratic National Conven-
tion at Cincinnati last week ended Its
labors by nominating Gen. Winfield 3
Hancock, of Pennsylvania, as their
candidate for next President, and VIM.
III. English, of the State of Indiana, for
Vice President. Gen. Hancock was
nominated on the second ballot taken,
receiving nearly the unanimous vote OF
the Convention.
OF Gen. Hancock as a soldier,
naupbt can be said but what is good
All concede that. But of Gen. Han
cock as a candidate of the Democratic
party. much can and doubtless will be
said. A principal objection to him will
be, that he is purely soldier, taken
from the Regular Army, and hence
without experience in the civil affairs
of the Government. Heretofore and for
wears past it has been the complaint of
the Democrats that the Republicans
made use of the services and fame OF
military men, and they denounced it as
unsafe for the liberties of the people.
But recently they joined in warning
against Gen. Grant. Now they seek to
be "The Boys in Blue" and to don the
uniform and the sword. In this new
dress they appear at once awkward
and out of place. The Republicans
sought, after the late war, to honor sol
diers for their services to the Union
cause. but Gen. Hancock's first and
principal supporters for this nomination
came from the South. However, with
a candidate of the broad experience
and ripe Craftsmanship of Gen. Gar
field the Republicans need not fear the
result of the coming contest What
may now look like strong nomination
by the Democrats may in the end prove
very weak one to them. The memor
able case of the nomination of Gen
Scott by the Wings, in 1852, who
when nominated it was thought would
carry everything before him, but who
received the vote of but four States IN
the Union, may be the case with Gen.
Hancock next November.
