Two years since you called me to the hoad
of your organization. I accepted as a duty

won or of victories gamed, but those ot
forces marshaled, of contests waged, or
principles defended.
Tho Republio has just passed through a
w.nf mMnlifl nvrinnrfinns. t)ur TJolltlCtl
foes had weildod the physical, financial and
moral power of the whole. The soil of every
battle-field had been reddened with tho blood
of members of our organization, sealing
with their life their devotion to the Union,
yet obloquy, falsehood and persecution wero
unsparingly hurled upon us bocauso we had
principles and boldly proclaimed them, and
when the historian shall trace with impartial
pen the evenU of those years, ho will record
Lnf u,a n-aa vilifiitit nnrtftftulcii And defeat
ed because wo supported the principles of
tree government ana aerenaea ino great,
cardinal doctrines of the Federal Constitu
tion. , . .,.
Peace came. Possessed of a vast military
and naval establishment, controlling the ex
penditure of hundreds of millions annually,
with an inquisitorial revenue system num
bering its thousands and permeating every
section of the land, mith the absolute con
trol of everv branch of tho civil service, nnd
the powerful aid of organized capital in tho
hands of men who had reaped wealth in the
Woody harvest jut passed, our enemy be
lieved nnd hoped that thnir grasp of power
was to be perpetual, and that wo were dad
nnd buried beyond the hope of resurrection.
The events of the past two years have un
deceived them, and they now recognize tho
fact that tho party they hoped was Bono
forever, is organized, equipped, and ready
to grasp from their unsteady hand the
hcep'tre of dominion.
The basis of our unity, tho germ of our
perpetuity, is the principle of self preser
vation. Our instincts teach us to bo immortal
as a party. Individual liberty is tho price
less gem around which Uie Constitution
created the casket we love. Governments
are made for men, not men for governments.
Men made the States. The States and
men made tho Union. Both aro essential
to us. The government is one of limited
powers : limitod that it may not trample
upon our rights ; limited that it may enable
us to enjoy individual liberty,
To these principles we have ever been
true, and so lung as wo have faith in thin,
courage iu their maintenance and hopo for
our couutry, wo have within us the clement
of success.
The past i jgone, the great preaeutiswith
us. As practical men we may mould its
relatives io snaps lue events ui iuu iuiuiu.
and aid in regaining tho highway to national
prosperity.

RESOLUTIONS.
Hon. B. M. Boyer, of Montgomery
County, from the Committee on Resolutions
reported the following platform :
We the delegates of tho Dcmotratio par
ty of Pennsylvania in general State Con
vention assembled, for the nomination of a
candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court,
profoundly grateful to the Supreme Ruler
of the Universe for the return of peace to
our beloved couutry, but deeply anxious on
account of the trials and delays which im
pede the complete restoration and reunion
of all the States, and appreciating the dan
gers which still threaten the safety of our
political institutions, and tho future peace,
liberty and prospority of the people,
Rctohed, That we steadfastly adhore to
the principles of civil government establish
ed by the founders of the Union, and in the
present canflict of legislative usurpation with
constitutional law, we esteem a wise, up
light, and fearless judiciary; thei great bul
wark of public liberty and individual right.
That the Union of the States is perpetu
al, and the Federal government supreme
within its Constitutional limits.
That representation in tho Congress of
the United States and in the Electoral Col
lege is a right, fundamental and indostruct
iblc in its nature, and abiding in every Stato,
being a duty as well as a right pertaining to
tho people of every State, and essential to
our republican system of government Its
denial is the destruction of the government
itself.
Each State having, tinder the Constitu
tion, the exclusive right to prescribe the
qualifications of its own electors, we pro
claim as a usurpation and nn outrage the
establishment of negro suffrage in any of
the States by the coercive exccrciscof Fed
eral power, and we shall resist to the last
resort tho threatened measures of the lead
ers of tho Republican party to interfere by
acta of Congress with tho regulation of the
elective franchise in the Stato of Pennsyl
vania. We are opposed to any amendment of tho
Constitution of the State giving to negroes

riBESIDE STORIES.
BY J. EDGAR LAKE.
A few months ago, on a cold raw day in
January, I entered the private office of the
firm of which I am a member, and found
my partners in earnest on wltation over the
contents of a letter received by Jhe morning
mail. The letter contained the unweloome
intelligence that one of our agents, in a
manufacturing town in New Hampshire,
had proved recreant to his trust, and ab
sconded with a considerable sum of money
belonging to the firm. It was immediately
decided that one of us must visit the scene
to regulate matters, and take immediate
steps for the apprehension -of the thief.
Having at one time in my life been a mem
ber of the secret police, and gained a good
reputation in that capacity, my partners
flatteringly remarked that I was just the
person to "work up" the caso.
Tho next morning I started for L ,
tho sceno of the robbery. In one week's
time the thief had been captured, nearly all
tho stolen nionoy recovered, and in the best
of spirits I made preparations to start for
home tho following morning. When morn
ing came the sky looked threatning, and
the weather prophets predicted an unusually
severe snow-storm. But having a good
horse and warm robes I determined to start
About ten o'clock it commenced snowing
and blowing in earnest ; at four the roads
were impassible, and I was forced to seek
shelter at a wayside inn. Upon entering
the bar-room I found seated around a blaz
ing wood fire three other storm bound travel
ers. Room was cheerfully made for me,
and the conversation became general until
mine host called us to partake of a bounti
ful supper. When we were again seated
round the fire one of our number proposed
that each in turn should relate some person
al adventure. The proposition meeting with
favor, the eldest of our little group was re
quested to commonce. He was a noble
looking man of some fifty years, and his
story I give as nearly as possible.
"The incident which I am about to re
late occurred many years ago, but 'tis as
fresh in my memoay as though it was but
yesterday. And to convince you of the
truth of my story, look at my arm," and
bareing the member he showed us several
deep, ugly scars. "I was a youth of twenty
when these were made, and I'll tell you how
it happened. My father was formerly a
merchant in B , when I was about
ten years old he became unfortunate in
business, and lost nearly all his property ;
ho had speculated in laud considerably, and
at the time of his reverses owned a tract
of land in this State. Tired of the world,
he removed his family to the then almost
unbroken forest Game, large and small,
was plenty, and having a natural inclination
I soon became au expert hunter for a boy.
I would take my rifle, and, accompanied by
my dog Brave a noble fellow, make long
excursions through the surrounding eountry.
Some ten miles from our cabin there was
a small settlement, and thither I went oc
casionally. One afternoon it was in October,
I took my rifle, and whistling for Brave,
started for the settlement. The bears were
unusually plenty that fall, and that after
noon my mother warned me to get home
before night On reaching the settlcnicnt
I found a number of persons congregated
round the 'store,' and becoming interested
in the conversation, time passed away faster
than I was aware of. It was nearly sunset
when I started for home, and it bid fair for
a dark night, though there was a moon, I
had gone about four miles, when the dog,
who was a few steps in advance, suddenly
stopped and gave vent to low, deep growl
I stopped quickly forward, and saw direotly
in front of me an cnonnousho bear and
two cubs, I knew she would be a danger
ous customer, and drew lack with the in
tention of leaving her unmolosted. But she
had seen me and with nn angry growl gave
chase. I confess my limbs trembled, for a
momont, and then every norvo seemed of
iron. Hastily ordering the dog behind me,
and loosening my knifo and bowse in my
belt, I cocked my rifle and waited for her
bearship to come nearer. Finding I did
not run, the bear halted when within about
fifWn vards of me. and raised herself upon
her hind legs. This gave me an excellent
onnortunity. and taking a quick, sure aim,
I fired. The bullet found her heart and she

fell over dead. 'The cubs, Brave," I said,
in a momont ho had dispatchod them. The '
darkness was falling fast, and leaving my
gamo where it fell, I pushed on for home.
"After going perhaps a milo and a half,
Brave, who led the way, came to a halt,
and then with another growl retreated to
my side. Putting my hand upon him, I
could feel him tremble, and I trembled also,
for I knew there was but one animal ho
feared, and that the panther. Naturally I
am no coward, but to be miles from any
human habitation, surrounded by dark
ness, and know a panther is watching
and perhaps preparing to spring upon
you, is sufficient to test ones ncrvos and
courage. I knew it was no uso to retreat
so speaking eucouragcingly to Brave, I took
my knifo in ray tooth, and cocking ray trus
ty rifle, I cautiously advansed. I had ta
ken but a few steps, when from a tree a ibw
yards in advance I saw the creature's glar
ing eyes fixed upon mo. At that moment
the moon passed from under a cloud, and I
"could see tho panther crouch to spring.
Quickly raising my rifle, and taking tho best
aim I could, I exclaimed, 'Take him Drove,'
and fired. Scarcely had the report of my
rifle rang through the forest when I was
haulod to the ground and folt the creature's
teeth in my arm. Before I could use my
knife, Brave fastened his teeth in its throat
I sprang to my foot to awist tho dog, hut
no help was needed, the panther was badly
wounded by my shot, and the dog finished
him. Poor Brave, he was sadly torn by the
creatures claws, my own wounds were se
vere. Loading my rifle as best I could, I
started on again. I reached home but to
open the door and fall fainting into the room.
It was weeks before I went out again, but
Bravo and I took many a tramp afterwards,
and saw some hard service. Poor Brave 1
when he died I buried him with all the hon
ors of war, and dropped upon his grave a
tearful tribute to the noblo brute, who more
than once saved my life.
Such, gentlemen, is my story."
Bill Simpson's Legal Exper
loncc.
Many years ago the Legislature of Ten
nossce passed au act to organize the county
of McNairy, alias Snake. At that time the
country embraced in the limits of Snako
was occupied by a set of back-woodsmen,
totally unacquainted with courts, jails, &c.
The county assembled at the appointed site
for the purpose of cutting logs, making
boards, etc., to build a court house and jail.
The only themo of daily conversation, when
the men were assembled, was the court &c.
None of them had ever seen a court in sess
ion, as yet developed. Each one would
give what his idea was of court, ka. None
however, were entirely satisfactory, until
Bill Simpson was called on to give his ideas.
He said ho knew all about a court, that ho
had had a law-suit in North Carolina. One
of his neighbor's hogs kept coming when
he fed his hogs, until it got fat One morn
ing Le got so mad that he shot the hog. He
thought it would not do to throw it away,
so he cleaned and salted it Shortly after
his neighbor and a nfan come to his house,
examined the smokehouse, and took him to
town and put lira in a little office. About
thoe months after that his man came and
took him to a large room. A large man
sat upon a high bench a man was sitting
at a desk about a dozen fine dressed men
sal in a place that was paled around. The
man put him in a pen that was just behind
them. He then colled in twelve men, they
took their seats in a box in front of the fine
dressed men. The man that was writing
gave the twelve men a book, and said some
thing about Bill Simpson and the State. Then
one of them fine men read something about
Bill Simpson and the hog, and he and an
other of the fino dressed men had the big
gest quarrel you ever heard, I thought
they didt't It was Bill Simpson and the
hog, and the hog and Bill Simpson, and
sometimes Mr. Simpson, but very seldom.
After they quit quarrelling, tho big man
talked awhile to the twelve men, and they
went out and stayed a short time, and came
back and said something to the men at the
desk. Then the man at the bench said
something to the man that put me in tho
office, and he took me out and tied mo to a
tree, and commenced oowhiding me with
cowhide, and it made me so mad that 1
shook all the persimmons of the tree.
The "Blockhead" Party.
The appropriateness of the name given
to the Republican party, by its distinguished
Ic-aiivr, Hon. Horace Greeley, ought not to
be disregarded by the Democrats How-.
ever much we uave dillerecl lrom jur.
Greeley upon politics, his astuteness in
reading the peculiar characteristics of in
dividuals ami parties, we have never ques
tioned. Doubtless, his estimate of the
Republicans, as a party, has been long en
tertained- Their fanatical absurdities and
monstrous crimes, conjd not have failed to
eti ite his indignation frequently during the
past few years ; but his tartizin proclivities
have stifled the expression of his true sen
timents. It only needed aa occasion, when
his spirit should be chafed by appli
cations of the ptoscriplive lash to his own
shoulders, to induce apuMe dedaratioo of
his private opinion. "Yon are a set of
blockheads !" says U. G. We agree with.
Mr. Greeley, fully ; and inasmuch as the
great leader of the party not, us hat
ohristined it, we adopt the name. The Re
publican party no longer exists- Henceforth,
our political battles are to be Waged with
the "Blockhead" Parity
