h interest la the Amehicax to Emanuel
Wilvert, tenders his thanks to its patrons
or their loog continued patronage the; have
given the establishment, from its foundation,
in 1840, to the present time. In- transferring
the Americas to Mr. "Wilvert, he does
not entirely sever his connection with the
establishment, or divest himself of all in
terest in its affairs, as he will continue in
the editorial department, io connection
with Mr. Wilvert.
Mr. Wilvert's experience in tbe business,"
and long connection with the paper, with
sympathies that coincided with our own,
in its conduct, makes the undersigned feel
that it has not passed into the hands of
strangers, or that it will be perverted from
the course it has always maintained, and
that it will continue to merit that confidence
and support which has always been accord
ed to the Amubican.
II. B. MASSF.R.
By the above notice of II. B. Masskr,
Esq., it will be seen that I have purchased
the establishment of the SrotBunv Amkiii
can, and have become its proprietor. Hav
ing been connected with the office for many
years, commencing in 1845 as an apprentice,
afterwards as publisher and now as proprie
tor, I shall not appear to its patrons as a
stranger. Ia the present chango of proprie
tors, there will be no change of opinions in
the control of the paper, which frequently
occurs, when a change of propiietors take
place. . The American will continue to
maintain the same principles that it has
advocated tbe last twenty-eight years, under
the control of my predecessor, and will con
tinue to be a live paper, advocating progress
and improvement. The politics of the
American will continue to be Republican,
believing 89 I do, that upon the success of
these principles depends the future peace
and prosperity of the country, while in other
respects it will be conducted so as to make
it an acceptable and popular weekly visitor
to all its patrons. It is also my intention to
make some material improvement in the
paper as soon as I can make arrangements
to that end. In the control of the editorial
department I will have the assistance of Mr.
llasser, the founder of the paper, which we
know will be as satisfactory to the patrons
of the paper as to ourselves.
With this brief announcement of my ob
jects and purposes, which it is hoped will
prove satisfactory to the readers of the
American, I respectfully solicit the aid
and support of the present patrons of the
paper, and of all others who are willing to
(;ive it a trial under its new proprietor.
Being a practical printer, and having had
Diany years1 experience, I feel confident that,
with the aid of these, I can malto the
American an interesting and popular Erst
class Family Journal, and one which will be
worthy the support of all classes and parties.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
New Yoiik, Feb. 22, 1809.
.The reticence, or rather the reserve and
prudence of Gen. Grant, in keeping bis own
counsel, in regard to his cabinet appoint
ments, greatly tinnojs not only many anx
ious office seekers, but many of the opposi
tion journals, who, not being able to find
fault with the policy of the new President,
are trying to persuade themselves and their
party that Gen. Crant has no sympathy with
bis Republican fiieuds, and is not disposed
to consult them in regard to the formation
of bis cabinet on the policy of bis adminis- j
tration. All this is mere balderdash, and is
not warranted by anything that he has said
or done. Gen. Grant's action in this matter
is in accordance with all his acts daring the
progress of the laws. lie is a man not of
words, but of deeds, and does not deem it
necessary to let the world know what lie
intends doing until the proper time arrives.
One thing is pretty certain, the General will
never consult his political enemies in regard
to the policy he should pursue, or the ap
pointments he should make. If he was even
disposed to turn traitor to bis friends, the
fate of Andrew Johnson would be a suffi
cient warning to keep him from such egre-1
gious folly. It is not surprising that those
patriotic Democratic journals, that denoun
ced him as a butcher and drunkard, for
punishing the rebels during the war, and
who fawned upon him afterwards, when
they thought he could be used as their can
didate, should sgiin assail him for adhe
ring to the true piinciples of the government
as proclaimed by Jefferson and Jackson, and
so utterly ignored by the modern Democra
cy, both north and south.
New York city, just now, is about as dirty
as it well can be. Business is fair and the
prospects are favorable.
Among tbe modern bobbies that occur
periodically, is the velocipede. Having
heard s much about it ia the pipers, I wos
anxious to see this wonderful new mode of
locomotion, and was gratified, yesterday, by
accidentally getting into one of the schools,
where quite a number of young gentlemen
were practicing on a large basement floor,
Several of them were expert and could run
once around tho angles of the room, with
both legs up, moved only by the momentum,
previously given while others, less experi
enced, would come down with their nags on
to the floor. It was curious to see .how
easily an experienced rider conld balance
Limself and move at the rate of 2.40, as it
were, astride of a shaft, with one in front
and behind him. The wheels are very light
and about four feet in diameter.

Since tho first of January, we have ?nt

To those who have so promptly responded
to our request in remitting, we return our
sincere thanks. A large numbrr have not as
yet given us any reply. We desire that they
should do to, at we are in need of the
amount due us. Contemplating making
improvements, in a few weeks, for the bene
fit of our patrons, we nocessarily must have
the means to do it with. And as we ask no
more than that which belongs to us, to ac

reduced rates, we trust that none will look
to his neighbor to pay first, but at once
remit to us the amount due, so that we can
carry out our contemplated improvements.
Remark ofHeaator Cameron.
In the Senate, on Wednesday of last week,
Mr. Buckalew, while discussing tho ques
tion of changing the mode of choosing
Presidential electors, charged that half a
million of dollars had been poured out in
Pennsylvania to control the last Presiden
tial election. When he had concluded his
speech, Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, moved that
the Senate recede from its amendments to
the Constitutional amendments and concur
in the IIouso proposition. Senator Came
ron then took the floor, and we copy his re
marks from the Dailg Globe :
Mr. Cameron. I shall vote in favor of
the motion now made by the Senator from
Nevada, I had no intention to say a word
on this subject, and should not have done
eoiiut for a remark which fell from my col
league, which I think was disrespectful to
the state lrom wbicti lie ana 1 come, in
which we were both born, and to whiah we
owe not only allegiance but love. I was sorry
to hear him say that money had been brought
into Pennsylvania to influence and corrupt
toe elections tucro, and to produce a result
which the people did not desire. In 1854,
my colleague and I separated in politics.
The first election of any consequence after
that was tlie election tor President in 1800,
when Mr. Buchanan and Colonel Fremont
were the opposing candidates. In reply to
the remark of my colleaguo I think I may
say with confidence that there is hardly a
man in Pennsylvania now living who was
acquainted with that contest who does not
believe that Colonel Fremont was cheated
out of tbe voto of Pennsylvania by the ac
tivity and dishoucsty of the men who sup
ported Mr. Buchanan. Large sums of
money were brought into Pennsylvania to
use as a corruption fund, and they were so
used. Sir, had General Fremont received
the vote of Pennsylvania thou, as he was
entitled to (In, we should have been saved
the evils which grew out of Mr. Buchanan's
administration, including the great rebel
lion which has cost this country so much
bl ood and treasure, and all its consequences.
But Colonel Fremont lost the vote of Penn
sylvania by the management of the chair
man of the State Democratic Central Com
mittee of that year, who through the use of
money from other States changed tno result
of the election.
Sir, such things have often happened in
Pennsylvania ; but my remembrance is that
they have always been done in the interests
of the Democratic party. At the recent
election we lost the city of Philadelphia
and the Democratic party nominally elected
three Congressmen there ; but alt men who
are acquainted with tho contest in tbe dis
tricts of Mr. Myers and Mr. Taylor know
that those gentlemen are entitled to their
seats, and were only defeated by great frauds.
They intend to claim them, and I have no
doubt they will receive them. I remember
the other day, in a contest for a seat in the
Legislature from the city of Philadelphia,
three men were brought up nnd swore that
they had voted at every precinct in the city,
and at each place they had given different
names to the amount of eight or ten each.
They voted early and often, as uy friend
from New Jersey Mr. Frelioghuysen sug
gests. I only rose for the purpose of defending
my State, and especially tho Republican
party, against this charge of fraud. The
election in Pennsylvania eXcurs earlier than
in many of the other States. It is a very
important State ; and, of course, the election
is contested with great activity.
Now, let mo say one word in regard to
the proposition of my colleague. I know
that I ought to have studied the question
before I attempted to speak upon it. My
colleague says that of all the 'people in the
world ha despises most stupid people. I
agree with him in that. A stupid man is
not to lie avtmirea by anybody; but we
sometimes differ as to where tbe stupidity
is to be found. Sometimes we think peo
ple are laughing with us, when they are
laughing at us; and so it may be in regard
to stupidity. I think it weuld be very stu
pid indeed for the party in power now to
give to any future Congress the right of
gerrymandering Pennsylvania, Indiana,
New York and Ohio, so as to control those
States; for I think half a dozen shrewd men
from those States brought together could
pass a bill in Congress by which they could
control the destinies of this country. Iam
in favor, therefore, of leaving this power
in t no bands or the btates. Lot the men
who know the local interests, the local feel
ings, and the local strength and woakness
of the States settle it themselves at their
own homes,
To be sure, by carrying such
an amendment as my colleague proposes the
county of Berks in our State would vote on
the one side and the county of Dauphin on
the other ; and nnder such a proposition
the candidates of my colleague last year
might nave secured lour or five electoral
votes in Pennsylvania, and a few in some of
the other States, but I greatly prefer that
each state shall show its whole strength
Whatever the power of the State may be,
let it be given by a single vote in favor of
btato rights as some men who have been
here. I learned during the war for the sup
pression of the rebellion that we needed a
stronger Government .than we ever bad be
fore. The great trouble at the beginning
of the war was that there was no power at
Washington, under tbe laws, that could not
only arm the forces that were offered, but
that ceuld wield them as they could
have done if there had been nobody in the
States to interfere with them.
I believe this is all I have a desire to. say
on this subject. I think I have shown, or
at least 1 have tried to do so, that Peiitisyl
' vauia is not worse than the other Slates ;
and if she has done wrong, it has been the
Democrats who have done the wrong.
Tbe Sen- York selection I'rnnds.
Wasuington, Feb. 22, If 69.
Judge Lawrence has prepared a volumin
ous report upon the New York election
frauds of last November. Judge Lawrence
says :
"But appalling and startling as the frauds
have been iu eur past history, they are all
surpassed in some respects by those perpe--
iraiea in mo general election in the Blate,
and especially in the city of New York.
1 nese lrauds were tbe result of a systema
tic plan of gigantio proportions, stealthily
pre arranged and boldly executed, not mere
ly by bands of degraded desperadoes, but
with the direct sanction, approval and aid of
many prominent officials and citizens of New
York, with shrewdly concealed connivance
of others, and almost without any effort to
discourage or prevent them by any of those
in whose internet and political party asso
ciations toay were successfully executed
who conld not fail to have cognizance or
them, and whose duty it was to expose, de
feat and nnnish them. They were aided by
corrupt and corrupting official patronage
and nower. which not onlv encouraged, but !
shielded and protect d the guilty principals
and their aiders and abettors. These frauds I
are so varied in character that they compre
hend every known crime against the elec
tive franchise. They corrupted the admin
istration of justice, degraded the judiciary,
deleated the execution ot the laws, suuver
ted for the time being, in New York State,
the essential principles of popular govern
ment, robbed the people of that great State
of their rightful choice of electors for Presi
dent and Vice President, of a Governor and
other officers; disgraced the most populace
city of our Union; encouraged tho enemies i
of Republican government here ana every
where to deride our institutions as a failure,
and endangered the peace of the Republic
by an attempt to defeat the will of the peo
ple in the choice of their rulers.
"The events of the past year in Now
York, and tbe evidence taken by the com
mittee, furnish proof of all these allegations.
Among the most glaring of tho frauds com
mitted in the interest of the Democratic
party, in the city and Btate of New York,
la connection with the election in Novem
ber, 1808, are these: Many thousand of
aliens fraudulently procured or were
furnished with certificates of naturalization,
illegally or fraudulently issued, by means of
which they were enabled to register as vo
ters, and voted in violation of law. Many
hundreds of certificate of naturalization
were granted in the names of fictitious per
sons, to be used by native born and natural
ized citizens and aliens in falsely register
ing as voters, and to enable them to vote
many times at the same election.
REFEATEItfl.
"Many hundreds of persons voted in New
York city from two to forty times or more,
each under assumed or fictitious names,
fraudulently registered for the purpose.
Extensive frauds were committed in can
vassing tickets, and names of voters were
entered on poll lists, and Democratic tick
ets counted, as if voters representing them
voted, when no such persons voted at all.
NATURALIZATION PAPERS.
"The largest number of naturalization
papeis ever granted, in one year, in INew
York city, before 1863, was in 18S6, when
only 16,408 were issued, while in 1808 there
were 41,113 issued. In October about 10,
070 were naturalized by our courts. Tho
Superior Court, on October 14, issued 2109
papers, aud one Judge issued 835 on Octo
ber 19, aud averaged 718 per day during
October. The Republican Natutalizatinu
Committee procured papers for only 2085.
The New York Printing Committee ordvivd,
between September 10 and October 23,
blank applications amounting to lO.'i.OOO,
and of certificates of naturalization, 69,000;
in addition to this, other presses were run
ning on blacks for other Democratic com
mittees." "Among" the frauds practiced under the
laturall.atlon Law 3 were false personation
of applicants for naturalization perjury ot
witnesses under assumed names, fabrication
of applications for naturalization, aud others
in support of them, with the names of appli
cants and witnesses forged ; granting of
certificates of naturalization in fictitious
names, and on applications, regular in form,
but without the presence of any applicant,
and to persons not entitled to them ; appli
cants for naturalization or those professing
to represent them with their witnesses were
sworn lu groups, sometimes smaller, and
without any separate examination of each
witness in the Supreme Court, not merely
occasionally, but habitually, is proved be
yond controversy.
Judge McCckx'b Method.
"In naturalization, before Judge John II.
McCunn he did not sweur any witness or
applicant to testily 'the truth, the whole
tiutli and nothing but the truth,' nor even
to make true answer to such questions as
should be put, but he professed to swear
applicants and witnesses in these words.
'That these ailidavits you have subscribed
are true. Hutoro thi9, sometimes, though
rarely, questions were asked as to age, resi
dence aud mural character, but never under
oath, unlets, indeed, swearing to the truth
of their ailidavits could be so considered.
EXTENT OF TUE FRAUDS.
"If the committee bad devoted the whole
time from their appointment to the close of
this Congress, it rtould not have been pos
sible to ascertain or to take testimony t j
prove the number of persons who voted
more than once in each of the 340 districts,
in all of which there were cast ut the elec
tion in November, 150,060 votes, a number
nearly as great as nil the votes cust in six of
the States of the t'nion at the same election.
"All that could be done was to prove, as
the evidenee does, that an organized system
was perfected and carried into effect by the
members oi the Democratic party, to regis
ter many thousands of names, fictitious or
assumed, and then to vote on them by hun
dreds of persons voting from two to forty
times each for the Democratic candidates.
There is evidence to show that it was part
of the gigantic scheme of carrying tbe Dem
ocratic ticket in the State of New York by
fraud ; to delay the canvassing of the vote
in the city until the result in the counties
should be knowu ; then to make up the de
ficiencies not supplied by repeating and
other fraudulent voting; by stuffing the
ballot boxes, and by a liauduleut canvass
on the count of the vote.
REMEDIES PROPOSED.
"The committee recommended the with
drawal of naturalization from the New York
City Courts, and offer ft bill for that pur
pose ; also, a bill amending the Naturaliza
tion 1. ws, and recommend one day through
out tbe United States for tbe election of
representatives in Congress, and providing
for the contesting elections of the President
ami Vice President, and a Constitutional
amendment authorizing- Congress to regu
late the appointment of President and Vice
President directly by the people, or by elec
tors chosen by single districts."

fifteen hundred dollars a year.
Last night, in the House, a attempt was
again made to raise the pay of the members
from oue thousand dollars (the contract on
which they were elected) to fifteen huudred
dollars a year. This proposition for plun
der came up on motion of a Democratic
member unknown to fame, but known to
Harrisburg as the gentleman from Mont
gomery. This same geutleman, who urged
so earnestly this raise, which involved au
extra appropriation of (66,000, earlier in the
evoniug bad moved to strike out the salary
of one of the assistant inspectors for tbe
Soldiers' Orphans' School. We only mention
the fact as an illustration of modern Demo
cracy. The debate on the motion to raise the pay
of the members was more than eating. The
Tbe evening previous, when the same motion
was made iu Committee of the Whole.it
lacked, on a division, but five votes of being
carriod. Last night, after the session opened,
it was thought by the fifteen-hundred. dol
lar men that they had secured these five
and something hund&ome ia addition. They
openly boasted that the thing was set up,
and throughout the debate showed a desire
to carry the matter with a bigb hand pres
sing the previous question manifesting a
dogged indifierenee to the manly end honest
appeals of Mr. Uerr, of Harrisbnrg, and Mr.
Wilson, of Alleghany, and evidently wishing
they could choke off the foolish and senile
defence attempted in behalf of his motion
by the gentleman from Montgomery.
When at last the vote came, Mr. Nicholson,
of Beaver, demanded the ayes and noes an
act of honest courage and unnuivocal fidelity
to the interests of the Slate which deserves
public recoanitron. The result was a most
inglorious defeat of the proposition. Very
rarely has more cowardice been exhibited
on the floor of any parliamentary body. The
fifteea-hundredidollar brigade came into tbe
hall with a clear majority noses counted.
After a half hour's debate the roll-call
showed them in a minority of 28 to (JO,
greatly to he disgust of their more manly
leaders. Mr. Brown, of Huntingdon, whose
speech in defence of the motion was some
whst rudely choked off by his own friends
that the vote might be taken, was one of the
erst to vote "no," amid the flerisivo cheers
of the House. He was followed by others,
and tbe demoralization became complete.
Several gentlemen who deserve to be name
less, dodged by retiring. When they ap
peared and asked to have their votes record
ed, they were stingmgiy rebuked by air,
Davis, of Philadelphia, who during the call
seemed somewhat ashamed ot his company,
and they were not allowed the benefit.

Washington, D. O. Feb, 82, 180.
Friend Wihert : On Saturday evenlne
last tbe Pennsylvanians temporarily residing
in this city met at Union League Hall and
lormed a society called the "Pennsylvania
Republican Association." The object is far
the furtherance of Republican principles,
mutual benefit, social intercourse, the form
ing of acquaintance, and the cementing of
friendship that will enduie long after its
members have left this busy scene of politics,
and settled permanently in their Dative
State. After the usual business having been
proceeded with, the Association elected the
following oflicers fVirtheensuingilx months:
t-resicient, uoi. a. r. Fuller ; 1st vice Presi
dent, A. A. Bhissler ; 2d Vice President, D.
It. B. Ncvin; 8d Vice President, D. 8. Keller,

1 nomas Mcisamnra. As usual in all asso
ciations a flute had been mado out, and all
tue oincers selected tor election, but the Tew
could not rule, and their "castles in tho air"
were of short duration. Several members
from the 14th district demanded a represen
talion, and placed in nomination our friend
Bhissler as a candidate for a Vice Presidency
This was hailed with delight, and so popu
lar Is he among the Pennsylvanians sojourn
ing here, that when the ballots were counted
we found be was tbe first choice of the as

of niue (including President and Vice Presi

in honor of Hon. John Scott, United States
Senator-elect from Pennsylvania.
A few days ago Mr. Deinpsey, of the firm

Duncan. Parties interfered, srperated them,
und had Dempsey planed under arrest. Last
Friday he was tried, found guilty, and sen
tenced by Judgo Fisher to a flue of $200,
and to undergo an imprisonment of ten
days. That evening President Johnson
pardoned the brave Deuip-ey.not even allow
ing him to be di.-graced by au bom's im
prisonment. This action oi the President
is commented on by almost every one, and
is considered an outrage on the court and
society. It w as spoken of in the pulpit, and
last evening at the National Theatre during
a sermon delivered by some eminent divine,
he took occasion to speak of law and order,
and said how secure are we when a convict
ed criminal almoBt receives a "previous par
dou.'' About one-fifth of the audience left
the theatre sayiog they "didn't come to
hear a political sermon." The preacher
took it kindly, and observed that be hoped
the tlissntUfkd would not think be made
any "allusion to the gentleman who had his
trunk packed, snd marked for Tennessee."
The work done at the Government Print
ing office is done so well, and at so little
cost when compared with former public
printing, that Conutcss has determined to
have all the printing done under the direc
tion of Hon. J. D. Defrecs, Superintendent,
and as a consequence the debates of Con
gress (the Globe) will be printed at our
office niter. the 4th of March. The working
part (typography) of the Govorumeut office
is well conducted, and in the selection of
Charles E. Lathrop, Esq., as foreman and
chief executive officer, Mr. Dtfrces has acted
with an eye single to the saving of money to
the government. Should Mr. Defrees enter
tho Cabinet or receive a diplomatic appoint
ment, the Senate could not supply his place
by a more suitable person thau Mr. Lathrop.
To show how favorable the printing office is
held in the opinion of Cnngreis, I give you
the follow ing extract of the report of Senator
Anthony, from the Committee on Printing :
"In 1800, Congress, having unsuccessfully
endeavored to reform the publiu piinting
by different systems of employing individ
ual!, fell back upon the recommendation
made forty years before, and fiequently
since repeated, and established a govern- j
ment piinting office. The animal reports
of the head of this establishment show its
efficiency and economy, and it is nut neces
sary here to euhgiie either ike prompt ntti with
wlmli the pui'lic printing u executed, or the
excellent muhanitul ttttutionot thevork. The
prices p lid for labor, for materials and for
presses and machinery have within the past
few years greatly increased -often doubled
but the expens' of Congressional printing
has not increased in propoition. The amount
of printing and binding required for the
departments has greatly increased, and it
will probably remain largo so long as unlim
ited orders can bo given for it, without ac
countability for ritravaganco, or responsi
bility fur the legal light to make orders,
but a careful estimate shews that a greater
tating has been effected. Computing the
work done at the Government Piinting
Office from March, 1801, until September 80,
1865, at the price paid under the previoue
system, it would have amounted to over on
million of dollar more than the actual coat
wn." In speaking of the "eight hour law,"
the same committee says : "The journey
men printers now employed in the Congres
sional Printing Office, since the euactmcut
of the "eight hour law," earn on an average
over $35 per wetk ;" and we receive $24.
The city is full of rumors as to the forma
tion of General Grant's cabinet, but they are
all wide of tbe mark. You folks at home
could make up the slate as easily as the
quid nunc, of Washington, ami be as near
right. Nothing will be known of it until
after the inauguration, and the new
President sends the names of the members
of his cabinet to the Senate for confirma
tion. Great preparations are being Tnado for
the inauguration. The city is crowded, and
on the arrival of every train the cry is "still
they ciitne." With respect to friends, re
gards for yourself, aud my best wishes that
you will succeed as tule publisher of the
American, I am your sincere friend,
