|Bcbforb |nqutm. f Kit HI HI). PA.. niDAT, HOT. 5. 1869. DOXT TELL IT ALL. The Free traders are making extraordina ry efforts to influence public senriment in favor of a reduction of our present tariff rates at the coming session of Congress. They tell a great many plausible stories, but omit some very important and vital facts- Thev (mint to our foreign trade and declare that we are uot buying as much from abroad as formerly, and ca 1 this evidi nee of a decline of prosperity. But th-y forget to say that in all seasons of free-trad.- we have bought far more than we sold. They also omit to say that in ordinary business, jf a man persists in buving more than he sells, he comes at last to bankruptcy. Every one knows that this same rule holds good in regard to na tions. We have fonnd it to be true in our own experience. After every term of Dem oc-arie rue in our history, when we have had free-trade for a long time, we have had also a financial crisis; in other words bank ruptcy. The effect of our protective tariff has always been to keep us from buying more than we sell, and to change it to sell ing m r than we buy? This has always brought great and perm inent prosperity to the who'e country. Every one knows that the man who earns more than he spends always saves the uifference and is on the way to piospetity and wealth. It is just the same with nations. While we had a Democratic government and a low tariff approximating free-trade, we continually bought more than we sold, and got deeper and deeper each year in debt to foreign na tions. Since Republicanism has restored the protective po'icv we have been gradual ly- getting out of debt, hut we still need a further improvement and increase in various a-tie'es, so as to enable us to sell more than we buy and get the balance oo our side. Protection means selling more than we buy, and thereby glowing rich. Free-trade for u- means the spend thrift fault of buying more than we sell, and puts us on the straight road to bankruptcy. This is the plain common sense of practical business which all can com prebend. Let every one bear them in mind when blalantfrec-traders talk of thp beauties of their system. THE prospect in Spain now is that the Cortes wiil ebct Kin; shortly and that the Duke of Genoa will be the ioeky man. Republicanism must wait still longer. The Spaniards are unequal to the work and un worthy the reward of free in-titutions. Taught by the experience of his immediate predecessor, Isabella, the new king will doubtless grant his subjects at least a short time to get used to the uneasy- yoke from which they have been free for some months. The Puke is but sixteen years old and has been a pupil of the English philosopher Matthew Arnold. He is supposed to be under the influence of Napoleon. The Re publicans oppose him. IN North and South Carolina only about one third of the revenue on tobacco lias ever been paid ; Virginia is but little better, and throughout rhe whole South the officers of the law are either evaded orre-i-ted to such an extent that it is thought the military will have to far called into requisition. The civil officers refuse to a-s.st in enforcing the law or punishing criminals. A little more re coo-tiucrion is hadlv needed. CONTESTING THE STATE ELECTION.— The ! ety of the cops that thry will contest the State election is the wiide-t ab-urdity ever heard nil of. Who ever heard of a contest ed election in which iiwasuut di-covered that the largest frauds were always cjuijiit ted by copperheads? Nary contest. It's ad the thinne-t k n-1 of gas. GEN.

When the Ham-burg Patriot, undertook to forestall public opinion by (firing what it calls a "correct state of the case" in regard to the Senatorial election in this district, it should hare been so certain of its facts, that neither a suppression of, nor an addition to the truth would have been necessary to make its point. Its statement that "the member of the board froui Alleghany town ship took with him the tally paper which should have been deposited in the ballot box, and left sealed in the box the certificate of the election officers giving ibe number of votes cast for each candidate," lacks this very impoitant ingredient, viz: The afore -aid certificate t cat devoid of the signatures of any of the officers. The one now on file in the Prothonutary's office having been -igned on Friday night after the election, when all of these election officers, the re turn judge excepted, were functus officio. Again, when the district return judges met at Bedford, the regularly appointed judge, knowing that a bogus judge—ap pointed by a minority of five, was on hand —demanded to know whether he was to be tecognized as the proper Representative of this county, before surrendering his returns; being assured that he was so recognized, he with a clerk nominated by him, took their seats at the board, and acted with it. The returns being pre-erred, in violation of their sworn duty, the other two judges proceeded to add to the official certificate from thi countv, the vote of Alleghany town-hip which had been rejected by the board ot judges here, and upon that count, declared Hir.m Fin-Hay clvotvd, and forthwith pro ceeded to make out a certificate to that ef fect, and the regular return judge from this county refu-ing to be a party to this altera tion of his own certified papers, and refusing to sign a certificate thus obtained for Find lay. it was presented to and signed by the bogus return judge. Being thus outragtu and dtceived, the regular return judge from this county proceeded to foot up the duly certified vote, and made out a certificate in accordance therewith in favor of Mr. Scull. Now, on this state of facts we suggest. First, The board of return judges of this county acted in a strictly legal manner, when they refused to receive a tally paper from Alleghany tewti-hip in place of the certifi oate required by law. .Second. The tuinority of return judges of this county had no legal right to constitute themselves into a board, appoint one of their fellows a district re turn judge, or make out a certificate of rh< vote cast in the county. Third, The judge and one inspector from Alleghany township, had no legal right to make out a certificate such as is required by law, three days after their official life had ended. Fourth, The district return judges had no legal right to add to, or take from the properly certifi-d vote of this county. Fifth, The admis-ion of two return judges from this county iuto the meeting of district judges, was not ouly illegal, but fraudulent and farcical. These views being correct, Mr. Scull was and is enti ltd to the certificate as a matter of law and of right; but he as.-ents to the proposition, that the voters of Alleghany town-hip may not he disfranchised bccaus of the gross stupidity of their el ction officers, and there is a probability that the proper committee of the Senate may so de cide. and there being no other objection to the legality of Mr. Fiudlay's election award birn the scat. Finally, M r. Scull is not personally anxiou to hold a seat in the SeDate. He took the nomination a few days before the election mwk •V. V- r>Fnuv.rwnlina party rl'ffi/.ulliu, and thus saving to his political friends a district, which their numerical strength en titled them to. Thi- is not a question merely personal to Mr. Ftudlav and himself, but it involves the rights of the voters of th- Senatorial district. If Mr. Findlay is legally elected, no one will more cheetfully concede the fact than will Mr. Scull, but he will no permit himself to be tricked into a f'als position by the convenient return judges from Fulton and Bedford, nor quietly sub suit to misiepre-entatioo from the Harris burg Patriot.—Somerset Herald and Whig.
