THE statement was made towards the
close of last week, apparently on good
authority. that a movement was on
foot having its origin among the Demo
cratic members of Congress from this
state, with the concurrence Of Messrs.
Randall and Wallace, to harmonic the
discOrdant Democratic elements in
Pennsylvania, and especially in Phila-
delphia. preparatory to the meeting Of
the State convention at Harrisburg, on
the 28th Of this month. 1t is very de-
sirable, of course, that harmony should
prevail at the State convention, and the
only obstacle in the way that we are
aware Of grows out Of the factiOus war
fare that has existed for several years in
Philadelphia. If that can be satisfac-
torily adjusted before the meeting of
the convention, so much the better, as
all the other difficulties are not at all of
a serious nature and can be easily set
tied by the convention itself. If, how
ever. the quarrel in Philadelphia is not
amicabIy disposed of by Messrs. Nc
! Gowen and Faux and their respective
followers before the convention meets,
as we trust it will be, the convention
ought to dispose of the matter promptly
by applying to it the most heroic treat
ment 1t is a shame and disgrace that
a Democratic State convention should
/ be annoyed and harrassed continually
I by the senseless wrangling and conten.
+ tions Of two rival delegations from that
( county, both claiming TO be regular
state of things in party organization
which is utterly preposterous and car
never rightfully exist.
One other Of the terms Of this rumOr.
! ed settlement Is, that the delegates from
this State 10 the national convention are
to vote Is unit on all questions We
have always opposed, and always vii
oppose, the arrogant and tyranical uni
rule, except as regards the delegates al
large. How could a Democratic State
convention stultify itself by adopting
the unit rule, after every Democratic
paper in the Commonwealth has, for TIVE
months past, been ferceiy denouncine
Don Cameron for imposing that iron
clad restriction upon the men he ha
selected to go to Chicago? ? The onI!
instructions that should be given to tn,
delegates ought to be: go, and afte
having looked the ground all over, anC
after the fullest conference with tht
delegates from other parts of the Union
follow the guide of your own best judg
ment, with a sole view to the success O.

THE military board which spent sew

completely vindicating his military cor

pending in Congress covering Gen. Por-

JOHN CESSNA, of Bedford, and David
Over. editor of the Hollidaysburg Reqis-
ter, are the two delegates selected by
Don Cameron at the Harrisburg conven-
tion to represent the Republicans Of this
Congressional district at Chicago. Tn
der the unit rule they will of course both
vote for Grant, and even without it
they would do 50, if Cameron demanded
it. The friends of Blaine in Somerset
county, believing that he is clearly the
choice of the Republicans in this dis
tTict, and that they, and not Cameron,
have the Undoubted right to say who
shall be the delegates, have issued a
call for a public meeting of the Repub-
licaHs OF that county, at the Court
House in Somerset, on Tuesday, April
9th, ''foT the purpose of electing three
conieTees 10 meet like couferees from
Bedford. Blair and Cambria counties,
to elect two delegates and their alter
mates, to represent the seventeenth
Congressional district in tie National
Republican Convention, to be held at
Chicago on the second day Of June, 1880. -
This Somerset revolt is led by Gen. VIM
II. KoOntz, who has always been the
OutspOkeu and consistent foe of the
Cameron machine, - and there can be
no doubt thaJ he viii be backed up by q
large majority OF the Republicans in
that county.
such seems also 10 be the case IN every
other portion Of the State where a SINH
lar movement has been inaugurated.-
Tie Republicans in Blair and Bedford
counties are said TO be strongly opposed
10 Third term. and we have no doubt
the same is true OF our own county.
This Blaine rebellion against Came
rou's unit resolution at Harrisburg is
now in progress in a large number of
districts in this state, and the question
will be squarely submitted TO the Chica-
go convention. Has a district the right
10 choose lis own delegates. or must It
surrender that right to q state C0nveH-
tion There can be, or at least ought To
be, but one answer to such a plain propO-
sitiou.

THE emigration from Ireland to the
United States during the present year
promises to be exceptionally large. a
writer from Queenstown reports that
place as being crowded with men and
women anxious to secure passage for
New YOrk. The Germanic. which left
that port on the 18th of March, brought
cut eleven hundred emigrants. and the
agent was compelled to stop booking
steerags passengers three days before
sailing day. 8Ir. Redpath; the New
York Tribune's commissioner, says the
prospects are that the emigration from
ireland this year will be larger than in
any preceding year since the great
famine Of 1917, and that if the coming
summer should prove to be MS wet as
last summer, and the potato crop should
fail again, the west Of Ireland will be
nearly depopulated before next spring.
