A Word to Our Friknds. Duriug
tho two weeks of Court, a number of per
sons from di ire rent parts of the county,
dropped into our office, nod subscribed for
the American. Many told us that they had
heard of our paper, and were told thai it
was deeidedly tho best and most reliable
paper in the county others that they had
read copies and were so well pleased that
they had concluded to subscribe for it.
'These facts satisfy us that with a little ex
ertion on tho part of our friends, our pa
per could be introduced into hundreds of
families who di not now read it. Now, it
is desirable that this be done desirable in
several particular. It would cuable us to
add to the attraction auJ usefulness of our
jiapcr ; it would bcLellt the cause in which
we are engaged by bringing the principles
underlying it its facts and truths right
liomo to a large number of the people, and
it would benefit them, especially those who
are not able to take more than one (Kipcr,
by keeping them posted with the atl'airs of
the country, Lbe progrcsa and position of
jirtle, and by iuduciiijr habits of thought
tidiuYCtti:;at'ioii, the cerlulu fruits of read
Lug. How arc these desirable objects to bu ac
complished V We cannot atteud to it, fur,
tinlike the "travelling editors" of too ma
ny local journals, we devote our ti.ne and
attention to the interests of our patrons
and readers. 1 intend of tilling up our pa
per "pell mcll," without tcard to system
or brain, we pay considerable attention to
.system in preparing matter that will bc-ue-lit
and interest our readers which occupies
most of our time. To those who advise
that we employ a competent person to cau
vass, wo reply that such a person is very
difficult to get, especially at a salary that
wo can afl'ord to pay. Allow us to make
a suggostiun to you, frieuds. This can all
bo accomplished without difficulty, and
without expense. Let each one, especially
those who endorse the conduct and pritiei
pies of the American, constitute himself a
tvyZuTitart a'jtnl, aud embrace every oppor
tunity to introduce this matter to such of
their neighbors, acquaintances aud iriends,
who do not but should take it, aud prevail
upon them to order it scut to them at once,
t.-cing to it that the subscription U prompt
ly remitted. Now is tho time. Tho peo

See to it friends that they get tho lmm-.-!.
Wa care not what their political pro
clivilii ate ; get them once to tako and

EOTO parties in Philadelphia accuse
4.D ch other of intended fraud at the next
election. It it a pity tho people of that ci
ty ran i longer be hoeet.
Tub Germans and Welbu going for
Grant. It is a significant fact that the
German and Welsh population are scarce
ly ever known to seek office and it is also
a noticeable fact that they are among bur
most law abiding and useful citizens, and
as a class, are less governed by political pre
judice, which so frequently places the un
worthy Into power, than even our native
born citizens. Being generally educated,
they watch closely and understand all that
transpires in our national council?, and the
men who advocate the interests of tho
laboring class. Coming to our shores for
the purpose of making themselves useful in
developing the vast resources of our
country, and enjoying tho Inestimable pri
vileges within the reach of all through tho
liliorality of our Institutions, thoy despise
the Idoa of seeking office as soon as they be
come citizens, but at once turu their atten
tion to some useful calling, and earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow. This
class of foreign citizens are seldom known
to support any ono but those whom they
believe will stand by their country's good,
and who will labor for Its best Interests.
Office seekers are scorned by them, as they
well know the evil effects produced by them
lu the old country, and but few are known
who do not desiro to advance improvement
in their adopted home. In tho present
election wo find this class of our citizens iu
favor of the re-election of Grant. The
Germans are nearly a unit against the par
ty who are endeavoring to amalgamate all
nations, creeds, sects and isms to get pos
session of tho National Government with
the expectation of changing Us liberal laws,
and creating laws similar to thoso which
now oppress the laboriug classes of Europe.
Tho Welsh are unanimous, nnd every
Welsh journal published in America now
lias Grant and Wilson at its mast head.
This is significant, and shows that tho
Germans aud Welsh, who are undoubtedly
the most educated portiou of our foreign
citizcus, have studied well the character of
the men between whom lays tho future
welfare of the country. They believe that
U. S. Grant is the most 'capable to admin
ister its national affairs. Their nctious
speak louder than words. Uuiuterestcd,
they look upon the situation with far more
candor than the American people, and
with minds well trained to national affairs,
they have determined, with cool and calm
deliberation, to support the man who is
best qualified to head our national govern
ment. The Hon. John 1$. I1 acker. The
Dauphin County Republican Convention,
on Tuesday last, instructed their Conferees
for the lion. John R. Packer as caudidato
for Congress. All the counties in this Con
gressional District except Northumberland,
have declared Mr. Packer their unauimous
choice for a third term, and on tho 10th of
September Northumberland will join her
sister counties, and make him the unani
mous choice of the district. This is pro
bably the highest compliment that has been
paid to any Congressman ever elected in a
district to which Northumberland county
was attached. This shows the high ap
preciation the voters have for the son of the
mother of the counties of which this dis
ttict is composed. Mr. Packer's career as
a public servaut, is one of tho most bril
liant In tho State, aud his services to his
constituents has not only given general sat
isfaction, but has proven him to be a man
whose services cannot well be spared in our
national councils. Mr. Packer's course
has not only accrued to the advancement
of the iuterc6ts of his constituency, but al
so to that of the whole people, and both
political parties in that body are anxious
to have him tcturned, as his counsel in the
perplexing questions arising iu the affairs of
our national government are desirable.
His clear head and correct ideas iu cou-
duetiug public atl'airs havo placed htm in
tho front rank of our statesmen, and his
perseverance aud great industry has gaiucd
for him tho respect nnd esteem of all. We
are happy to note this fact, as it shows that
this district has an officer whose promi
nence iu Cougress will insure success iu all
his efforts for the interests of his constitu
ents one who cau exercise an influence
equal to uny of our foremost statesmen.
In the selection of Mr. Packer for a third
term this district will do itself great hon
or, proving, as it will, that its citizens, ir
respective of party, are capable of appre
ciating the services of an officer of so high a
standard in general worth showing that
they fully understand the importance of
demanding the services of a mau in Con
gress whose influence is such that he will
be placed iu rank high among his peers ;
and his long experienco in parliamentary
rules will give him a chairmanshrp of ouc
of the best committees.
"Now that Pat Hester has been sent to
the pcuitentiary the -Imen'cctu will be bad
oU'l'or a candidate for Sheriff."
Tho above looks as though our ueighbor
was playing tito fact ou Pat, and since lie
has got into trouble repudiates him. It is
strongly suspectsd that tho editor of tho
Democrat was anxious to get Pat out of the
way for some time, as they wero both am
bitious to go to the Legislature. Since Pat
has becu incarcerated, as the Detnocrat used
to say during the war, I ho editor is very
pleasant has donucd a white hat and
button-holes cveiybody to vote for him.

The Lcwlsburg University buildings are
reeeivrug a inorouga overhauling pre para
tory to the commencement of the full Ucm-
Fabrications." One of tho meanest ha
bits that a journalist can fall into Is the
persistency of publishing news which lie
knows to be Incorrect, to mislead his read
ers. We aro in receipt of Democratic pa
pers weekly who indulge in this habit.
Even our neighbor of tho Democrat has be
come so addicted to this vice that in every
tasue there are articles which every oue
who keeps pace with the times, knows to be
a fabrication, and frequently, too, we find
In other parts of his paper, articles copied
from other journnls, in flat contradiction to
editorials. In last week's issue we uoticed
a largely displayed heading of tho North
Carolina election with a sickly looking
rooster, which looked like falling over while
in the effort of crowing, underneath which
was tho following lu largo letters :
"The Cock that crows last crows
rtEST." "Latest Returns" "The
Democratic Candidate Elected af
ter all." "A Democratic Gover
nor." "A Democratic Lieut.-Gov-eunor.
"-"Democratic Legislature."
'Democratic United States Sena
tor." "Five Democratic Congress-:
mbn out of Eight."
"Enough has been received from North
Carolina to convince every fair-minded
man that Judge Merrimou is tho legally
elected Governor of that State, and by a
handsome majority. The faet is the Radi
cal defeat has been overwhelming. They
s'arted in the campaign, confident of 20,
(J0 majority, and sure of the victory. At
the last gubernatorial election in that State
they had over 18,000 majority, and it was
necessary for them to increase that to show
that their party maintained its strength
south."
If the editor has forgotten that tho Dem
ocrats carried the State of North Carolina
two years ago by about 5000 majority, it is
certain that his readers have not. When
the above extract was put In tho Democrat
there were sufficient official returns in to
show that Caldwell, tho Republican candi
date, was elected by at least I jOO majority
which the editor knew if ho read the pa-
I pcrs, and it ho uegiecteu to uo so ou ac
count of not having time, being too much
engagul in making his candidacy known,
why should ho deceive his readers by pub
lishing old news. Since the publication of
of the Democrat the official returns havo
come to light, which shows that Caldwell
is elected by a majority of 220S. Will our
ueighbor be frank enough to iuform his
readers of this fact.
The Constitutional Convention.
The delegates to the Constitutional Conven
tion should be selected from among our
best men in tho country. The delegates
will be elected by tho people in each Sena
torial district. This district, which is com
posed of Northumberland, Union, Snyder
and Perry couuties, is entitled to three
delegates who aro elected by the cumula
tive system of voting. Among those nam
ed iu this county in the Republican party,
arc Wm. I. Grceuough, Esq., Gen. John
K. Clement, L. M. Morton, editor of the
Miltonian, aud Wm. A. Sober, Esq. These
gentlemen are all fully competent to fill the
position, aud would be an honor to the dis
trict if elected.
A Democrat who has determined to
vote for Grant says "it is very humiliating
to a life-long Democrat to think that our
good old party, that has ruled this great
country for so many years, aud under such
Presidents as Jefferson and Jackson, should
now be found whistling at the tail of a few
sorehcaded Republicans."
The New York Republican State Con
vention, to nominate candidates for Gov
ernor aud other offices, met at Utica,
ou Wednesday last. 1 lie ptattorm,
ia a bold, manly declaration of Repub
lican principles, highly eulogistic of
tho Administration. Gen. John A. Dix
was chosen as a candidate for Governor,
aud Judgo John C. Robertson for Lieuten
ant Governor.
So long as it was believed that tho Demo
cracy had swept North Carolina by 20,000-16,000-10,000
majority, all or the Dcmoc
cratic journals asserted that the importance
of that election did not lie in its immediate
results, but in its indication of other elec
tions, whose nature would also bo moulded
by it. They agreed in this, from tho Tri
tune down. Does uot the philosophy hold
good, though the Republicans havo won the
victory? And if they carried North Caro
lina against such extreme efforts, strength
ened by that fact, what doubtful Stale may
they not hope to carry?
North Carolina. Official returns
have been received of the vote in North Ca
rolina from all but threo of tho counties.
The total vote ns reported is 192,067. Of
this Caldwell has 07,630, and Merrimou
03,137, making the majority of Caldwell iu
eighty-nine counties 2,U73. It is conjec
tured that Merrimon's majority in tho
three couuties not vet heard from will be
about 403, leaving Caldwell a clear majori
ty in the State ot z,iiva. Tiio wnoio vote
of the Statu has ine reused since 1S70 to the
extent of 19.024, the Republicans having
gamed 13,790, nnd tho Democrats 0,1'JS ;
tho Republicans being net gainers to the
extcut of 7.00S voles, in two years, which
makes their victory a very urtlliaut one. It
is a fact, shown by the table of returns
from each county, that this increase has
been uniform throughout the State, so that
tho Democratic accusation of gross frauds
upon the part of the Republicans iu certain
sectious is evidently uot justifiable. It is
also a fact that if the State had not been
redistricted by a dishonest Democratic Le
gislature for thu simple purpose of main
taining the supremacy of their party, the
Republicans at this electiou would have

The battle iu North Carolina ou our part
was fairly fought and fairly won, and the
Importance of the victory canuot bo de
creased by cries of fraud, which were rais
ed only wheu the Greeley people found
that their early hopes of triumph were
dashed.
The Democrats had a majority in the
Legislature of forty-tive last year this
year it is reduced to about (ifu-en. The
Republicans will carry the Stato for Grant
by at least ten thousand majority.
General A. L. Roumfort, chairman of
the Democratic Committee of Dauphiu
county, openly denounces Greeley.
Hon. W. Carson, chairman of the Dem
ocratic Si ale Central Committee of Ohio,
has declared for Grant.
Hiester Clymer, was nominated for Con

What do Tuesb TrfiNoa Mean f
What did Horace Greeley mean in his let
ter to the New York 2Vi6ne of June 8th,
Inst year, written on the' 3d of that month,
when he said :
"I mn confident that two-thirds of the
men, with nine-tenths of the women, who
formerly composed the slaveholders caste,
would this day give half their houses and
Inuds to have their slaves back ngutn, Just
ns they possessed them in 1800 :
They consider themselves robbed by eman
cipation, and would like their property
back again, or its vnlue in some equiva
lent." And what did he mean by saying, in the
same letter, that "they," the rebels,
"Proposo to renew the fight, but not
with the gun nnd sabre. They expect to
regain ns Democrats, through elections, tho
power thoy lost as rebels through war."
And what did he mean when, iu tho
same communication, speaking of the col
ored voto, he stated that
"They will seek to cocrco enough of it
into voting tho Democratic ticket to give
them a majority of tho Southern electoral
vote for next President."
And what docs tho following extract
from tho speech of Governor Brown, of
Tennessee, at a reccut Greeley ratification
meeting at Nashville, mean V
"He supported Greeley because ho loved
tho South, bailed Jeff. Davis, advocated
universal amnesty and had no kinsfolk.
He did not care what Greeley had said in
the past against the South and its institu
tions. It was enough for him to know
that he wns in favor of restoring her to her
pristine rights. Orceley, if eltvled. toould
pay lite lossen of the South, and set her peo
ple on tho high road to wealth and happi
ness." And what aro tho taxpayers of the coun
try to infer from this statement of Gol
lailny, a Democratic Representative iu
Congress, made at tho same liuio and
place ?
"Greeley, at tho outset of tho war, wns
in favor of letting tho "wayward sisters de
part iu pc-ice," and afterward went single
handed and alone to meet our Commission
ers in Canada, to treat for peace. Not a
Democrat in the North dared go with him,
or manifested any desire to go. He was
then in favor of paying the South for her
slaves, and I believe he is still."
These statements of tho caudidato and
his frieuds nro respectfully recommended
to the consideration of all men who believe
that their taxes tire already sufficiently
heavy, and who propose that the results of
the war shall stand as they are, untiukcrud
nnd unimpaired.
Greeley and the Rebel Bonds.
The Miners Journal says voters should
keep their eyes open aud read between tho
lines of the numberless newspaper articles
of the day written to deceive. Facts nre
constantly being brought to light, which
if interpreted aright nre revelations.
Here, for instance, is one: Since thu nom
ination of Horace Greeley t Confederate
bonds held in Europe have assumed a
value. Why? Because in Horace Greeley's
election, which, thank God, is not ono of
the possiblities, is seen tho triumph of that
portion of our voters who desire to see those
bonds redeemed. Remember this, voters
since Horace Greeley's nomiualiou Con
federate bonds haw assumed, a value in
Eurupe. Comment is needless.
Mr. Buclalew and Suffrage. Mr.
Buekalew being nil old Democrat and fa
miliar with all the vi.-ws of the party, turns
out from the official record, to be anything
but a Democrat in its generally accepted
sense. One of its strongest dogmas he re
pudiated iu a speech he delivered while So
uator in Coutiress, ou the suffrage question,
which is published in the ('ciii'i'e.t.sioiiaj
Globe, December 12, 1800, pngo 83, where
he says in these words :
"Now, sir, tho objection which I havo to
a large extension of tutfrago in this coun
try, whether by Federal or State power, is
this : that thereby you will corrupt nnd de
grade electious anil probably lead to their
complete abrogation hereafter. By pour
ing into the ballot-boxes of the country a
largo mass of iguoraut voters, aud vjtes
subject to pecuniary or social influence,
you will cerrupt and degrade your elec
tions and lay the foundation for their ulti
mate destruction. That is a conviction of
mine, and it is upon that ground that I re
sist negro sullnige and tcmafesiillrage, and
any other proposed form of suffrase which
t-ikes humanity in no unduly broad or en
larged sense as the foundation of nu ar
rangement of political power."
Here is something for tho masses of the
country such as laborers, operatives in
our mills, mechanics aud working-men ge
nerally to ponder over. The seulimeuts
of General Harlranft are just the reverse
of this. He favors every man, with a lo
cal habitation nnd a name, who is entitled
by the present lilieral laws of tho country
to the right of suffrage to enjoy it on au
equal footing with every other man, whe
ther of high or low degree. His is tho doc
trine of the great Republican party.
The Ku-Klvx Want Greely. Tho
South Carolina Ku-Klux, whose outrages
have been for a time suppressed by the vig
orous action of the Federal Government,
enforcing the laws of Congress, aro waiting
for the election of Greely to recommence
their fiendish operations. Tho following
extract from a letter written to the lloston
Journal by a gentleman long resident iu
that Slate, is exceedingly suggestive :
"You cau do much where you nre by
letting the people know what exactly are
and have been the facts. The late action
of the politicians has done great harm, and
the Ku-Klux snake is raising his bead
again, preparing to strike if Greely should
be elected. These fools here Cannot under
stand, aud I fear will 'never learn in their
generation, what we have so long been ac
customed to in the North tolerance ofdif
ferences of political sentiment. I am not
hopeful for the future, mid if Greeley is
elected there will be no question that every
L'uion white mau, and hall tho uegroes of
South Carolina may pack up and leave, for
sooner or later they will have that to do or
be killed."
Tho rising of the people all over tho coun
try to sustain the present Administration
by the reelection of Grant aud his associate
nominee, V Uson, tar transcends nil vte nad
anticipated. It is spontaneous, earnest and
nersistcut, aud v.iu bo triumphantly suc
cessful, against all combinations of malcon
tents, gathered from whatever number of
factions and craving individuals for place.
In a number of Sulci threo of which,
New-York, Illinois and Indiana, considered
the headquarters of disaffection this de
monstration strikes us with surprise and
pleasure. It canuot bo mistaken or mis
construed, for it stands out in the boldest
relief, and will be established when the day
of trial comes.
Horatio Seymour and Sanford E. Church
have refused lobe candidate for Governor
of New York, aud it is thought Augustus
Schell will be nomiuated.
President Grant has ordered a discon
tinuaauce of the work of tearing up the
track of the Memphis and Little Rock rail
way, its a Hairs having been satisfactorily
settled.
Chester and Rucks counties, In this
State, iu both of which it was supposed
there would be a large number of Greeley
Republicans, have sea rely auy followers of
Horace. The vote for Hartrauft aud Grant
iu those counties will be much larger than
usual,
Tremendous Burglar.
A' Dank Robbed or Several Hun
dred Thousand Dollars. Baltimore,
August 19. The Third National Bank, on
South street, between Second and Lum
bard streets, in the very heart of tho city,
was entered and robbed by burglars last
night.
The loss of the bank and of Individuals
who had private boxes deposited iu the
vault, has not yet been ascertained, but the
bank officers place their loss inside of one
hundred thousand dollars. The footing up
is now going on. - An entrance was made
by burglars from a room in an adjoiniug
building, owned and formerly occupied by
John S. Gittings as a banking house.
The entire lower floor of this building
was rented in June by a pnrty giving the
name of Stabler, who professed to oe a
commission merchant. From the rear
room an entrance was easily made by re
moviuz a thin brick wall, aud cutting
away a plate of sheet iron half an inch
thick directly in ine vault oi tne loira Na
tional Bank.
The bricks and debris removed from the
wall were put in the vault of Gittings'
buildiug. Tho burglars seem to have ope
rated at leisure and enjoyed themselves, as
they left au amnio lunch of cold chicken
aud bottles of wme in Gittings' vault.
particulars of tre uoubkry. in
the vault were two large safes. Tbev were
cut into and rifled. It is now stated that
between twenty and twenty-five depositors'
boxes were robbed, and the wildest state
ments nre current on tho street that the
losses of the depositors, in monev. bonds.
and securities, reach half a million. Among
the bouds certainly stolen are $7o,000 iu
City of Jjuievillo water loan coupon bonds.
Among the losses of the bank are : 75,
000 Louisville water bonds ; 88000 North
ern Central gold b"s. Tho public is cau
tioned against negotiating any of these se
curities. Numbers aud further particu
lars will be furnished as speedily as possi
ble. Estimate of the Losses. Tho offi
cers of tho bauk state their losses by the
burglary as follows : 837,000 greenbacks
and national bank notes, of which there
were eight notes of 8100 each, and twenty
four notes of 850 each, of tho Third Na
tional Bank, and the following bonds held
ns collateral : Northern Central Railroad,
82300 ; North Carolina Stato bonds, 811,
500 ; Marietta nnd Cincinnati Railroad,

The individual losses of depositors hav

One of the many converts to Grcclcyism
claimed by .Sumner and others, was the
linn. Rolierl C. Winthrop, who never was
a Republicau, or a politician at all since the
organization of tho party. Tho Dolly
Vardens tried to get him out and they suc
ceeded, lie says in reply to a letter to that
effect, under date of the 9th inst., that
when he accepted the chairmanship of the
Trustees of the Peabody Southern Educa
tion Fund, ho "resolved to keep out of
politics. As it I shall ndhoro to it firmly.
ejcceit to vote for Grant." He adds. "I cer
tainly cannot support Greeley and the coali
tion. I can see no safety for tho country in
their success. Neither reform uor recon
ciliation could result from so unnatural a
combination, but only renewed discord aud
confusion."
How the Rebels Vote The Repub
licau Congress passed, nt the especial re
quest of President Grant, a bill granting
universal amnesty to all the leading spirits
of tho rebellion excepting only Jeff. Davis
and a Tew olncrs. ISy this act or clemency
more than twenty-five thousand red
handed rebels in North Carolina were
restored to citizenship, nnd every one of
these, tho papers inform us, voted the De
mocratic ticket Inst week, nnd not only
voted for it, but worked night nnd day for
its success.
The declaration of Horaefi Greeley that
they SHOULD RECEIVE FAY FOR
TliEIR SLAVES FROM THE PUR
L1C TREASURY WAS INSCRIBED
ON THEIR RANNERS. What do tho
taxpayers of the north think of this ?
Look at this, Gallant Democrats.
The Hichmond Inquirer said a few days
since : "For seveu years wo have been
fighting the Radical party, ns for four years
we fought the Federal nrmy ; nnd during
these seven long years, ns during those four
disastrous years, we havo been looking to
the Copperhead Democracy of the North to
come to our aid and extricate us from tho
position in which they placed us. We have
looked to them, however, in vain. We
found them ns powerless in peace to help
us us they had shown themselves unwilling
or uuable iu war."
Another Sign. The "Beaver County
Conservative," the only Democratic paper
in that county, has hauled down the names
of Greeley and Rrown, and awaits the ac
tion of the Louisville convention, intending
to support the ticket that will be nominated
there. Its example will be followed by
thousands of Democrats in Pennsylvania.
The Bloomsbur? llepublicaii says that
for every "Liberal" Republican that will
vote for Greeley in Columbia county, fifty
Democrats will not. This is Ruckalew's

Another IUil Storm. On Friday afternoon

were the size of hickory nuts. They foil In the
locality of tho great storm or last year. The ef
fects were most marked upon the corn fields,

Some mooied citizens of Lewisburg ad

Senator Wilsoh delivered twenty -one
speeches in twelve days in Indiana, lie
says that the enthusiasm for the admin

expectations. He regards Grant as sure of

Greeley said : "If the Southern States
choose to form an Independent nation they
have a moral right to do so ;" and when
ever a considerable section of our Uuion
deliberately resolve to go out, we shall re
sist all coercive measures designed to keep
it in." Gen. John A. Dix said : "If any
man attempts to haul down the American
flag, shoot him on the spot." No wonder
Dix felt insulted at being asked to speak at
a Greeley meeting t
Mr. George Dress, Esq., a highly re
spected German citizen of Harrisburg,
lately returned from Europe after an ab
sence ot three months, says that the Ger

of Carl Schurz, in his opposition to the na

land ho would not find any supporters
among his frieuds there.
Robert C. Simpson, Esq., heretofore an

II. C. Bailey, of Tioga borough, who

a Greeley convert, is out in a strong letter,
urging all who have the best interests of
the country at heart to remain true to the
good old cause, represented by Grant and
Ilartranft.
Mr. Greeley says, in bis Portland speech
that he recognizes "all honest men" who
indorse the Cincinnati movement as his
brothers. This is a quiet way of proclaim
