So far as "good looks" aro concerned, friend Brewer, of the ''Montour American'1 may not be willing to concede his claims to the Colonel, though it will not be disputed that tboy were the "rival beauties" of the Convention. "Superior Democracy" can only be conce ded to domocnts who have never claimed or desired offices, such as many of onr farmers, mecbamcs and others. nenever men are standing candidates for office.

To Fry'a we go for nhi and boota, Whoae work weura well and alw.iya anita, Her busy looma nvike cloiha that wear Ai lot g aa life, and uevel ter ; And if you want a coat well made, Her taitora understand the trade. Her merchants do fine goods supply, At prices low to ull who buy, Here, school committees ulwuys find, Teaeln-rs to train the youthful mind ; Her d-x-tors rank among the bes That any people ever blest. The standard of morals prevalent here compares well with those found ut other places. The Methodist aud Presbyterian congregations each have a commodious and neat church for public worship in fact, both buildings are yet new aud handsome ; and thete are three well conducted and flourishing Sunday schools for the children und youth to attend. No grog shops or liquor bur is sustuiued here now, to spread its devastating virus through the veins of onr hardy und in dustrious denizens ; hence, broken windows, empty cuplfourds, squullid families and drunk en rubbles form no part in the present history 01 tins weii-io-uo community, neither is the truveler tieglec'ed here ; but aid und comfort is always to be found by the hungry, weary, and way-worn ut the Temperunt d House aud no traveler after enjoying a night's rest under this hospitable roof finds a brick iu his but upon starting in the morning. There are other things I may make men tion of ut sonie future time, i. e., if 1 have not already exhausted your stock of putience. Yours, cordially, H. Communicattb. For tha Banbury American. Ma. Editor: I observe in the papers the names of a number of persons as candidates for the office of County Treasure. Permit me to recommend Daniel IIkim. of Ujper Mahonoy, to tbe voters of Northumberland county as a suitable person for that oflice. Major Ueim is a man in every respect quali fied for that office and would undoubtable give funeral satisfaction if elected. JaVOKROK. Gen. JOHN KAY CLEMENT, AD THI BTATK KIVATK A MCB1TBB CO Mr LI MIC NT. M a. Editor t The mechanics, miners and working men or this portion of Northumber land county, we mean Coal, Zerby and Mount Uarmei townships, are very anxious to tea Oen. John Kay Clement, Dominated for th State Senate., lie is yet a young man, full of vigor, and, as all who know him will testify as lull or intellect and Information as perhaps any man in this county. He is withall a sound and working democrat, and all who saw hia efforts last rait, and heard his eloquent ap peals, will bear evidence to his teal his abili ty, and to the great good his services accom plished, lie did hot bring himself out lor the office, we are asking for him, and witn the good sense and modesty of true merit, is not and has not been traveling the county work ing and asking for himself, he prefers, if nomi nated at all, that the nomination sbaune the free and voluntary gift of the people. Now will not the people support htm all the mora wu line Iy because he is not a wire pulling beg' ging politician, but one of themselves, one who hns always proven himseir their earnest and sincere friend. Last winter, when no one else thought of it, or cared either about the people, not one of the other candidates for tbe oflice we want to place him in, ever thought of doing so much or half so much for the people be went to llarrisburg several times, prepared, 01 bis own accord, and bad passed, a law protecting the wagea of the mechanic, the miner aud the luborer, giving him a first lien to the amount ol one bun dred dollars for the wages of his labor in all cases of the failure or assignment of their em plover or employers. JVow do not toe peo ple the working classes owe him their good will fortius act, if they do not take Into ac count his steady devotion to their interests heretofore, a devotion that is known and can be attested by thousands in this county, and thousands on thousands in nchnylkili county, where be fo-merly lived, and where tbe work ing men and the young men were always with him. Vote for your beBt friend who is able to serve you we ask it he has cot been among you to ask for it for Inmseli, but we waut'lo honor him. One thing we are determined to do, whether he is nominated or not, we are de termined to present him with a token of our regard. Two lailures in bhamoKin tins sum mer have already proved the value of tbe law which he got for us, by saving to us working men an nggregute ol over lour thousand dol lars We made up a purse of money and offered it to him, but his disinterested heart refused it ; he said be had only done his duty and had pleasure enough in the act. We are procuring and intend to present a suitable testimonial a silver service. But the best testimonial is our votes. Let us all vote for bim.

We the undersigned farmers of Montour and uiljoiiiing counties were nt the trial of Mowers on the 22d of June 18o". on the farm or John Mowrer in Mahoning townshi .Montour county. three Machines were brought into tbe field, namely: Hussey's Im proved Reaper and Mower manufactured by fJetltle Mama & Co., ol L,ewisPurg. 1'u Manny's Putetit, ninnnfactured at Jloesick Full. S.Y., and Kelt-hum's manufactured ut Reading by Boas Spungter. The machines were worked by the owners or agents. Af ter seeing the operation of the three ma chines, we give our preference to the II us sey Reaper and Mower, for the following reasons. 1. We think it is tti most durable ma chine. 2. It costs less than the Manny's and tbe Ketchuin's. 3. It is very simple in its construction and not liatile to get out ol order. 4. It is manufactured in this section of th country. Aud wn would say to onr neighbors, that if you want a good, durable and reliable Rea per and Mower, get 000 01 the llusseys ltu proved Machines- Wm.
