"When thc Democratic party started up
on its career, it had the co-operation, and
sympathy, of not only the luboring masses,
but of the most intellectual minds in the
country. They ndvocated a popular form
of government, frequent elections, liber
al terms of naturalization and a warm at
tachment to national union. The present
leaders of that party have, however proved
themselves recreant to all these principles
except to the foreign population, which
have formed the bulk of their support, and
to-day the party stands without any fixed
principles, and like a castle upon the desert
ready to fall to pieces, struggling to avert
its impending doom with a desperation
which impels parties as well as Human be
ings to cling to life. 'Were the fathers of
the old Democratic party now in existence
they would no doubt be Republican the
true Democratic party of the country. Cer
tainly there is no inducement for any good
citizen to be attached to the modern Demo
cracy. They have forsaken the true prin
ciples and now the leaders care nothing for
principles, but are tiding every strategy
to keep together enough to elect them to of
fice, when they desire them.
Modern Democracy is destitute of any
moral principles. In Indiana and Ken
tucky it recommends itself to the support
ofthe negro-hating clement by opposing
the, Fifteenth Amendment; in Virginia
and Tennesscee it supports the Amend
ment, invites negro orators to its platforms,
and elects them to Congress and the State
Legislature. In the North it asks support
because it hates the negro; in the South it
nsks votes because it loves the negro and
promises to be his friend and protector.
In this State it nominates a millionaire,
destitute of any powers of statesmanship,
because he can give his check for a cool
hundred thousand to help in the canvass.
In Ohio it nominated a fighting General
who subsequently saved his reputation by
declining who hated and denounced with
great bitterness all such men as figure at
the head of the party in this State. In
the West it is fierce for taxing bonds and
more than hints at repudiation of botli
principle and interest of tho public debt.
In the East it is in the social charge of
brokers, stock-gamblers uud bond-holders.
Can any good honest citizen, actuated by
principle, support such a party?
Gen. Giiaxt. The low and scurrilous
manner in which the Democrat, of this place,
noticed the arrival of Gen. Grant, in Sun
bury, is worthy of the source from which
it emanates. There is not a gentleman or
a single individual, whose self-respect
raises him above the level of the gutter,
whether Republican or Democrat, who
does not feel that our whole community
has been outraged. What has Gen. Grant
done that he should be treated as if he were
v common malefactor's Even the rebels
admit that he has been a modest, brave
and gallant soldier, and speak in the high
est terms of his magnanimity and honor
nblo conduct. These qualities alone, if
tho high otliee of President did not, should
have shielded him from attacks that would
disgrace the character of a Hottentot. Had
Gen. Grant been the humblest soldier in
tho ranks, his services should have pro
tected him from such brutal assaults. We
haw reason to believe that these things do
not meet the approbation of the senior edi
tor, nor any other resectable Democrat.
For the sake ofthe community we are glad
to My the author stands alone in his in

caucusing among the expectant of clerk

hecauso two out of the same family are pro

Ferhnps the late threats ofthe "Mollie Me

Can't they be trusted any longer or is it

Tub Democracy lias no other hope now
of success . than, dividing the Republican
party on local issues. In this they will
utterly fail, as the Republican party is uni
ted, and has principles to support, Demo
cratic principles which our fathers took
great pride in advocating the principles
of Jefferson and Jackson. When every
man's civil and personal rights were mado
secure, and so long as these are at stake,
there can be poor hopes of tho modern
leaders of Democracy to causo our forces
to scatter. The Republicans have first to
to accomplish In carrying out its projected
work, which was commenced by our fore
fathers and make this country the paradise
of the world; and n;t until then can those
leaders hope for aid to convey them into
office, not for the sake of principles, but
for the spoils. We agree with our cotcm
porary the Miners' Journal, that the Re
publican party is yet young; it has not lived
long, but it has lived well; it has done' a
gigantic and glorious work; it has rescued
a nation from weakness and obliteration;
it has nut out the fires which traitors kin
dled to destroy the fair temple of Freedom.
It has given new life to the friends of Free
Government in all the lands of the earth.
England heeds the warning, and gives
Ireland a new concession in the interest
of religious freedom. Napoleon hastens to
grant the people a larger share in the gov
ernment of the Empire. Spain cuts adrift
its imperious,"sensual and imlecile Bour
bons; and struggling Cuba earnestly de
mauds her independence. In every laud
of the earth, the influence of the Republi
can party ofthe United .States is acknow
ledged. Struggling humanity feels that in
fluence as a life-giving inspiration, and ty
rants and oppressors read with terror the
warning written by its hand on the walls
of all their banquetting chambers. It in
creases justly every man's self respect to
reflect that he belongs to such a party; it
will be one of the consolations of a good
man's death to look back on his connec
tion with a party having its record; and a
legacy of no mean value for a man to leave
his children that he was a partaker in its
labors and warfare, and was a sharer in
its triumphs for humanity.
TitKAsriiEit or the Democratic
State Central Committee. There ap
pears to be a difficulty in electing a Trea
surer of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee. There is such a multiplicity of
candidates for the privilege of handling
Packer's money bags tliat the committee
is completely at sqa, not daring to make
a selection. The strife to take care of the
Treasury has awakened tho fears of the
Connecticut aspirant to tho gubernatorial
chair of Pennsylvania, and it is asserted in
one ofthe Philadelphia Sunday papers that
Asa Packer will not trust any of his ardent
friends with the handling of his cash; but
has resolved to be his oicn treasurer. He
is said to have expressed himself as wil
ling to"contribute liberally to the necessary
f.rjjoi.srs ofthe election; but is opposed to
au indiscriminate distribution of money
among irresponsible persons." He will,
therefore, himself disburse whatever cash
he may feel disposed to "contribute in his
way nnd to whomsoever he pleases." This
determination of Mr. l'rcker has created
no little disturbance in the Democratic
camp, and muttcrings deep, if not loud, are
heard.
Oi-EXiNo ofthe Campaign. The Ger
nutnlown Telegraph, says;
"The political campaign will be opened
in this State regularly on the 5th Septem
ber, in Bradford county, by the Republi
cans. It promises to be short and sharp,
and it will be better for it. The issues be
tween the two parties, though they are
well known to the masses, it will be well
to have them again presented broadly and
plainly that they cannot be mistaken.
Even the possibility of being misled by the
special pleading of the Democratic party,
with all its visionary promises which have
heretofore proved melancholy delusions,
should be cautiously guarded against. The
only reliance of the people of the State is
upon tho principles ofthe Republican party.
They possess all the elements of security
and property, the largest lilxTlics for all in
the pursuits of life, an equal voice in the
Government, and an unrestrained right of
speech. If there le protection and safe
ty, equality and freedom, fur the citizen
and integrity, capability and economy on
the part of the adiuinistratian ofthe gov
ernment now so ably secured by Repub
lican ascendency, nothing more is needed,
nothing more can 1e added, while if the
calamity of a change take place, every
thing will be overthrown.
The Pittsburg (lazettc of Saturday says
the political outlook in Pennsylvania never
looked bettor than now. In Philadelphia
we shall carry Geary and Williams through
an old fashioned majority. In the anthra
cite coal regions, where Mr. Packer should
have considerable strength, he will fall bo
hind the average I )eiuocratic vote, as he is
by no means popular with the laboring peo
ple, who go to make up tho opposition hi
that section. lie may, through social and
bufcinct relations, draw to himself a few
Republican votes, but he will lose a hun
dred fold in the ranks of his own party.
West of tho inountiius the enthusiasm for
tho Republican ticket is great, and the
accustomed majorities, in proportion to
the vote out, may confidently be expected.
On the whole we see nothing in tho. pre
sent biluation which should cause any
but the opposition to discourage us. Xevrr
before have we cub-red a canvass where
the courso presented so fair n surface for
gently walking over it to easy and decisive
viclorv.
Pardons. During Governor Geary's
administration fewer pcrsous convictid of
crime have been pardoned out of prison
than during the term of any other Gover
nor since the days of Mitllin. This bun
uncontrovertibk', absolute and undeniable
Uuth. No wan will dare deny it who has
auv regard for hUrharictcr for veracity.

StTREMK C'OVRT RESIGNATION. It U
understood that Justice RoWrt C. Grlcr,
of Pennsylvania, one of the Justices of the
Supreme Court of the United States, is
about to send in his resignation. Ho is
seventy-five years of age, nnd though his
mentnl faculties are not much impaired,'
he has lecoine physically enfeebled so as
to bo Incapacitated for discharging the
high functions of the office. Agreeably to
wise act of Congress, which becamo a
law last year, all Judges of the National
Court on arriving nt the ago of seventy,
can retire, and tho salary, six thousand a
year, continued to them during life. Judge
Nelson, it is supposed, will probably soon
follow.
We desire no bettor evidence of tho scare
In the Democratic ranks, than the reckless
manner in which the organs ofthe party
are conducting tho campaign. The confi
dence which they expressed, and perhaps
felt immediately after the nominations and
adjournment of the State Convention, ex
ists no longer it has "vanished into thin
air," and they have grown desperate.
We were wont, heretofore, to find, occa
sionally, the ghost of a truth in their col
umns, and something like the shadow of
sincerity. It is not so now. We look in
vain for anything but bitterness of denun
ciation and misrepresentation of facts a
Buro index of hopelessness and defeat.
From the Gertnnntown Telegraph
;oyi:kok of. a it y.
When we compare tho Democratic and
Republican candidates for Governor of
Pennsylvania the demerits of tho former
are iti such striking contrast with the mer
its of the latter that we do not sec how the
preference of the public can lie other than
for Geary. We have referred to the ab
solute vacuity of Packer's record as a
member of the Legislature and of Congress,
and defied the production of any proof that
he either possessed any talent for public
affairs or took any active part in them.
We have not asked for speeches, for many
talkative men are poor legislators. We
demanded some record of his active par
ticipation in the work of framing or matur
ing public measures, and none has been or
can be produced.
On the other hand Governor Geary is
essentially n man of action. He has filled
dillicult positions of great responsibility in
trying emergencies, and always with credit
to himself and benefit to the people. While
every man who preceded him as Governor
of Kansas failed to put a slop to civil war
there, he succeeded iicrfcctly and restored
peace so eflcctually that order and regular
civil government were not disturbed until
the breaking out ofthe great rebellion. No
man ever had a worse case than that to
manage nnd come out with such brilliant
success. But the truth was that Geary
had been schooled for the purpose in the
great struggle that brought California into
the Union as a free State. He was one of
the pioneers of that State and became
Mayor of San-Francisco at the time when
the question of freedom or slavery was
pending. lie went heartily against slavery
and exercised no small influence in the case.
How thoroughly devoted to his principles
he was he showed in Kansas, when Brcn
Anan's imbecility, duplicity and treachery
precipitated the country into an unneces
sary trouble about Kansas, after Geary
had really settled the complexion of the
territory. He then resigned in disgust. It
was natural for such a man to become a
a soldier in the Union army as he did nt
the breaking out ofthe rebellion. No tem
porary service was his. He volunteered
for the war and served through it brilliant
ly to the close, sharing in all the glories
of Sherman's grand and memorable cam
paigns, trusted by him as one of his best
and bravest generals, nnd appointed by
him to the command of Savannah, when
that city was captured. Sherman's men
saw no holiday service. Marching, dig
ging, fortifying, fighting, were there con
stant employments until they fairly con
quered, scattered and wore out the enemy.
Whatever glory attaches to Sherman's
campaign belong in n large degree to
Geary who was in it all and shared it all.
Such a soldier and such a statesman is now
placed in competition with a mere coal
monopolist as a candidate for Governor.
Asa Packer bus grown enormously rich
by means of the exorbitant price of coal.
ji:s fortune nas ueen n massed at tlie ex-
jicnsc of every man who has becu obliged to
pay such outrageous prices for coal. It is
resumed that Packer's money can buy
his way into the gubernatorial mansion. It
rests with the freemen of Pennsylvania to
say whether they shall be sold out in this
way.
Governor Geary, notwithstanding the
responsible offices he has held, is com
paratively a poor man. He might have
enriched himself had he been a corrupt
man, but the best proof of his integrity is
seen in his not being rich. Here, then, is
again a contrast. Packer is worth twenty
millions of dollars wrung from the hard
earnings ofthe poor by enormous prices of
coal. Geary is a poor man after all his
hard and faithful services in war aud peace.
While Geary wus fighting his way through
Georgia, Pac ker even refused to pay his
taxes in Mauch Chunk to enable that
borough to pay bounties to volunteers.
Even the gift of land and money to found
a college was only an iiiviVittiicnt'to improve
the value of adjacent lands owned by him
but otherwise unimproved. The fact is
that Asa Packer is a mere niouey-bag,
while Geary is both a hero and a states
man. It is natural that the iarty who
opposed the war for tho Union should
revile Geary and prefer Packer. But
how any pariotic aud itidcpcuih ut Ikiuocrat
can avoid sustaining Geary, nnsses our
comprehensions, and we have au abiding
faith in their loyalty that they will not.
We iH'lieve that the jx-oplc ofthe common
wealth will re-elect him by a larger majority
than before. They certainly ought to do
so, in view of the faithful and successful
manner in which thus far he has conducted
the a flairs of the commonwealth.
What is Said or tiik Chinese. The
Baltimore Sun epitomizes what a Spanish
Minister to I'ekin says of the Chinese, as
follows :
In Cuba some hundreds of the Chinese
have got a lew thousand dollars capital;
live or his. about sf-.'UtLUUO, and one is worth
400,000, though it is only u tew years
since the Chinese colonizations began. In
In the Phitipine Islands, where it is older,
the Chinese and their raee are mixed ; they
lire proprietors of most of the lands in the
country, and the natives, less intelligent,
sinking into the working population. The
Chinese usually marry when and where
they cau find wives. In thu East Indies
they have intermarried with the Malays
ana the Tagals, and in the Sandwich
Islands they wed with the Kanakas, though
the latter are professed Christians. In
Peru they are settling in considerable
numbers, uud well were it for the Suite of
South America if the Chinese would come
with their industry and love of order. If
they find their way into the Southern Hates,
cither the negroes will have toquit woik or
become more capable and industrious.

It having been reported that tho Presi
dent who for several days had been with
his family on a visit to the Interior of Penn
sylvania, would visit this Coal Regio n be
fore his return to New York, our citizens
on Wednesday last, the day of his expect
ed arrival, wero oil the otii fire for the
event. Thousands had never seen him at
all, and those who had, were desirous of
paying their respects to him. Our Bor
ough was hnudsomlv decorated with flags,
and presented a holiday appearance.
At 5 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon,
the President, accompanied by Mrs. Grant,
Miss Nellie and Master Jessie Grant, Sen
ator Cameron, General Kane, (formerly
Colonel of the Bucktail Regiment,) Wayne
McVeigh, Esq., Judge Pearson, of llar
risburg, lion. G. Dawson Coleman, Don
Cameron, Esq., John Tucker, Esq., nnd
other distinguished gentlemen, arrived nt
Mt. Carbon from Harrisburg, in a special
train furnished by tho Reading Railroad
Company. The visitors sojourned at the
Mansion House as the guests ofthe Com
pany. At Mt. Carbon President Grant was
met by Hon. II. L. Cake, Hon. C. W. Pit
man, D. F. Whitney, Esq., Jas. Silliman,
Esq., Col. Conner, Clias. BalxT, Esq., and
others of our citizens, who communicated
to him the desire of our citizens to pay
their resK'ets to him iu the evening. Thu
President expressed his entire willingness
to comply with the rcnuesl. and it was ar
ranged that he should be brought up to
Union Hull at 8 o'clock. At that hour the
Hall which was decorated with Hags, was
thronged with people, and there were thou
sands outside unable to irain admittance,
A large portion of the assemblage was
composed ot ladies.
Upon the appearance of the President
he was received with the most enthusias
tic cheers and bv the wnvincr of handker-
chiefs.the band nlnviiu! "Hail to the Chief. "
A line was formed, and for two hours tho
President, n-iia kotit luiwi ulvit-iiKr li.in-itnlu

to puss without kissing it, and when one
was more than usually attractive, he de
tained it until ho had kissed it twice. He
seems to bo very fond of children, and
those who were present and old enough to
have a lasting impression made on their
memories, will always recur to this visit of
the President with pride and nlessure.
The reception was all that could have
been desired. It was enthusiastic without

After all had paid their respects, during
which the band played several national airs.
the President who seemed quite fatigued
and certainly very warm spoke to the as
! semblage as follows :
i "Ladies and Gentlemen: I am hap-
iiy to see you You do not know how happy
ant to see you. and I think you do not
! know how tired I am. This is my first

in your State, it seems that I was expected.
I At every point the cars stopped the people

I how it was. I did not send them word,
I but they appeared to have heard of me.
And they were no happier to see mo than
j 1 tosee.them.'
I These remarks were delivered in a friend
l ly, unassuming manner, characteristic of
the real greatness ofthe man, anil at the
i conclusion, ringing cheers wore given lor
j tho President. "

an example for the world to imitate.
After the reception at the Hall, the
President spent an hour at the residence of
L. F. Whitney, Esq.. in social cwvcrsaliou
with a number of ladies aud guests.
In reply to a remark of a gentleman
present that bis visit to Potlsvillo would be
long and gratefully remembered, by the
people, especially the young, the President
said, "I hope they will remember me as the
friend ofthe country only," Mr. Pitinan.as
the President was about to leave, nddress-
hiin in very neat and appropriate words of
welcome ana thanks, aud touehingly refer
red to the services under him of the thous
ands of soldiers from this County, conclud
ing by saying that he had the confidence of
the people, and that in case of future ne
cessity the nation would rely upon him as
it hail done in the past. The President
replied, expressing the pleasure arising
from his visit here, and took occasion to
sav that during his absence from the Capi
tol, the interests of the public were not
suH'ering ; that he had never since his
childhood neglected a duty ; that he wits

and post with the departments ; that lie

Democratic Victories. .
We chronicle the followlngclalmed Demo

taken place this year, thus far :
Alabama election, I'J.noo Kepubiican nm-

Kentucky election, between 40,tHX) ana
G0,(MK Democratic majority. One year
ago nearly B0,0O0. We noticed roosters in
several lJemocratic papers crowing over
this result.
Virginia election, a negro suffrage gov
ernor ; less than 2,000 Republican votes
nine years ago, out of a" total vote of over
1(55,000. Claimed this year as a great
Iteinnrratu; victory, although there was no
straight lemocratic ticket in tho field.
I ennessee has this year elected a negro
suffrage Governor. N o out aud out Demo

a great lVmocratio victory is claimed,
with the Brownlow, negro suffrage party
victorious.

The Somcrst Herald and Whig says ;
"Pershing is a third or fourth rate country

has never, unassisted, tried a dozen cases

doubt much it his voice has ever been

just now that il is hard to make both ends
meet." We did not press the matter upon
our "hard up" friend, but knowing his hab
its, we made the following calculation based
011 that knowledge. Two glasses of ale a
day at ten cents, seventy-three dollars ;
three cigars, one after each meal, one hun
dred and nine dollars anil fifty cents ; board
for 11 big dog. thirty dollars all in otic
year, two hundred una twelve dollars and
iil'iy cents snllieient to buy sis barrels of
tlonr, one barrel of sugar, one sack of col-
fee, a good coat, a respectable dress, a frock
for the baby, and half a dozen pairs ol'shoes,
and all thedailv papers in the city, to say
nothing about magazines, books, A:c. You
see the point the man couldn't nll'ord it,
and there are thousands just like
him fori
the same reason.
