We hereby pledge our undivi ded support-to the sian'dard bearers of that parly, Rutherford I*. Hayes and \\'illiaiu A.

That the enormous evil of local and special legislation shall be prohi bited whenever private interests can he protect* d under general laws. 8. And inasmuch as the. system of free schools wa.s created in the State by the Republican party, and should be especially festered and protected by ;it, we pledge ourselves lb the sup port of the. amendment to the State constitution, now before the people, establishing a permanent tax for the support of free schools, and prevent ing the removal of school funds from the counties where raised. 7.

Maokey'sspeech from the belieb in York County-) in reference to t e execution of the circular letter of Attorney-General Taft. Mr. Cor bin smiled audibly upon reading the speech and said it read very much like the Pope's bull against the comet; that Mr. Mackey was!ev'nlehlly Miking notoriety by calling attention to himself; for there was ho cause before him wherein the Attorney Genet til's circular was call ed in question. Iiis opinion was, therefore, extra judicial and entitled tu no consideration whatever. The Judges of this State usually avoid making speeches .'Vom the bench and expressing opinions upon matters of law iu:til a case, in due form, id made beforc/dictri; but Judge Mackev appears to be bent on establishing a contrary custom; Thus far, however, he has hail, 1 think, a monopoly of hi- own patent, and is likely to keep it.

It may be a question whether Judge Mackey has not already ap proached the interference with the Marshals denounced in this section, and to advise; ail Ilia Marshals to proceed in strict accordance with the j letter of the Attorney General, ami j do their w hole duty, and any oflicer, I high or low, ol* the State who iliter I feres with tl'.eni will do so nt his ! peril. I Mr, Corbin said that he was pro ceeding in the woi'U of protesting the baiiott itiibis State, tiller the most careful con>iticratioi\ of tho acls of Congress lipon the subject- He said the election laws of tho United States would be enforced in this Stale by the aid of every power conferred upon the President by the constitution ami laws for that purpose.

The most influential baukors and "TuciVmiiiis ^ffWWffi!stmi?rrwiu auu-? staiUially the same opinion as thuso expressed by Mr.' "Williams.? N?ic? and Courier. Mr. Chamberlain will probably be tho candidate of the Republican party for re election. The wilder tho talk of the Radical Democracy tho greater is his strength, as a com manding necessity to his party. In case that he be nominated he will have tho undivided support of tho Radicals. The e will be no bolt. Add to the solid Republican vote, the power to obtain Federal troops as they may be needed, the Executive appointment of Commissioners of Election, the broad aud undefined powers of the Board of State Can vassers, and what prospect is thero that he could be defeated? It could be done in only one wiy; by armed force. For that the people aro not ready, aud if they were ready such a course would end in disaster and ruin.?Noim and Courier. It would he folly to run a demo cratic candidate for Governor against Mr. Chamberlain.?Ne'tM and Courier. Far from bringing out a full vote for the "straightout" policy will, in our opinion cause thousands of whites to cast their votes for the Republican candidate, if that candidate be Mr. Chamberlain, or to refrain from vot ing for the Democrats because their ku wledgc is no hope of victory.? N' ics and Cpuric-; As we have already said there \a nothing but defeat ahead of us on any ticket of that sort that can be put forth. Tho name of Gen.
