"Oar President."
We find an article under this head in the
lat 4Staaai ; and, though leaded as ed
itorial, it ia signed "A. A. Barker," It is
all the worthier of a reply, sinco it ia over a
responsible name and that name belonging
to the proprietor of the AUeghanian.
But, besid8 this, we deem it worthy of a
reply, as Mr. Barker, though an extreme
Radical, id a worthy gentleman and one
without whom there would be no Radical
party in Northern Cambria. The fact of hil
individuating himself (a very prudent course
considering the medium through wrich he
appears) gives his views still further claim to
our notice.
From the tenor of Mr. Barker's article in
the AUeghanian it is plain that he does not
like the fact tht Democrats acquiesce cheer
fully in the election of General Grant. TLe
Johnstown Tribune, on the other hand, takes
occasion to congratulate the country on the
very circumstance which Mr. Barker depre
cates. These Radical journals rarely agree,
excepting on the broad platform of denounc
ing "copperheads." In this instance we
think the Tribune right and Mr. Baiker
wrong.
Mr. Barker seems to us to labor under the
strange delusion that Ulysses S. Grant is not
the President elect of tbe United States, in
cluding all the Democrats, Radicals, men,
women, children, and negroes in the said
United States, but that he is the Tretiulent
only of the unfortunate fellows who voted
for him. TLid we look upon as a dreadful
heresy.
General Grant is to day, or will be on the
Fourth of March, just as much "oir," (or, if
we may drop the editorial plural,)" just as
much my President as he ia Mr. Barker's,
lie is simply the Tresidsnt of the Uuited
States no more, no less.
But Mr. Barker thinks that the fact of the
Democratic party showing faor to Grant
would be in "consideration" of a "good,
generous share of public patronage !" Ah !
that's the rub I There'a where we strike the
sore place !
Oh! no, Mr. Baiker; take, or let your
friends take, what they have fought for.
Give them their "seven loaves and two
fishes" those beloved principles for which
they fought with so much ardor and so
much success, bat give u a good administra
tion !
But, says Mr. Barker. "The tone of the
Democratic people towards Gen. Grant has
wonderfully changed since the election."
So it should. Those who then spoke loud
est against his election, believing conscien
riously, as they still believe, that his election
was not best for the country, now that a
majority has decided against them, will treat
the President with fairness, and judge him
by hi nets.
Some Democrats, it is true, imprudently,
as we thought, ccpied the charges of Horace
Oreely, and Henry Ward Beecher, and Wen
dell Pbilips, against him cn the subject tf
Intoxication some of them reiterated Ben.
Butler's abuse of him but as a general
thing they treated him fairly.
The Democratic party In opposing Grant
did so doubting whether his capacity and
nperience fitted him for the trust and they
still have misgivings on that subject. What
is more natural, then, than they, having the
good of the country at heart, should tender
him their advice and assistance in tbe ardu
ous duties he has undertaken 7
No, no, Mr. Barker, you must dismiss the
idea that the President of the Uuited States
belongs to a party. lie is the property of j
the nation. The Democrats will sustain
him so long as he supports that Consti
tution which, ere long, he will be Bworn to
support ; they will "hold up his arm" in
restoring the Uaion in the shape our fathers
gave it to us. When he departs from ths
written law they will oppose him. If
Radicals undertake to impeach him for a
fearless performance of his duty, as they
did In the case of their last President, the
Democrats, as they then did, will shield him
from the wrong, and protect their country
from the degradation.
No man better knows than Mr. Bitker
that a Radical could not have been elected
President. He would never have thought
of Ben. Wade, or Charles Sumner, or Wen
dell Philips, or "any other man" of his pre
cise views, as a candidate. Either of those
men would have suffered a greater defeat
than Seymour.
But, even if one of them could have been
nominated, and, could have been elected, his
Radicalism would have vanished before his
oath to support the Constitution, and to see
that the laws are faithfully executed. The
Partisan would have been lost in the Presi
dent. From and after the fourth day of March,
then. General Grant is "our" President as
much as yours our interest in the country
Is exactly equal to yours and no other
theory can be sustained for a moment.
It Won't Do. The AUeghanian charges
U with "a desire to array a certain reli.
gioua claw against" it. Not at all. If
yon did them injustice, correct it. If you
were led into error by copying a falsehood,
it was easy to make amends, and it won't
do to cry persecution.
As to arraying "a certain religious class
against" you, there is no danger of that.
The Catholic Radicals of Cambria county
who stood Know-Nothingisra with you,
which disfranchised themselves, will "not
likely tnmble at a fal.-e charge made against
a few priests and monks.
Whew? Whkrk ? The AUeghanian says
the Fbkemaw "commits an unwarranted
aflaault on ca." We should like to know
tea and nfcer.
A CURIOSITT.
We commend the seeker after the " Curios i
tiee of Literature" to the fourth column of
the second page of this week's AUeghanian.
lie will there find a production which is
neither "fish, flesh nor fowl" neither piose
nor poetry neither English nor any other
language neither "rhyme nor reason"
sense nor no, it does not rise to the digni
ty of respectable nonsense.
We cheerfully acjuit the real editors of
this abortiou--this wanton homicide on the
Queen's English this outrage done upon
the majus of the departed poets. We say
the real editors, for neither Mr. Barker nor
MrfciNGLETON could beget such a produc
tion; and though the names of "J. Tot! d
TIitchinson, Ed. Jarres, Editors," appear
under tbe head of the paper, they do not
pretend to edit it nor does either of them.
Indeed, they are not in the least to blame
for this, but rather to be praised for secur
ing the services of those who can write
Mr. Barker, the proprietor of the AUe
ghanian, did not write it; for he has taken
the wise precaution of appending his name
to what he does write.
Mr. Sikgleton, the general editor, writes
in the Euglish language, and writes a very
fair, reaJablo editorial. Besides, Tie never
affects poetry, and the writer cf the thing
in question must bare thong zt he was writ
ing poetry, for we Cud that each line com
mences with a capital letter.
Neither did the nominal junior editor write
it ; for Le is a young mau of decent habits.
Then who did write it? It is highly im
portant we should know, for the writer
should get it patented at once as a new fea
ture in composition.
Take this production, then, oh! realer,
and examine it, provided, always, that your
wife, or tester, or daughter, be not present,
as the Iking is not very chaste, as tee under
stand it, ana then guess at the name of the
inventor, and if you can solve this conun
drum, you may perchance drag Lira into
the light.
Of course it is not for us to point out the
autiior of this unique performance. We
have been speaking of it merely on its mer
its as a performance. It is intended as a
low and vindictive attack on the editor of
this paper. Providence, iu creating certain
creatures in the form, and with the attri
butes of a serpent, has, by a stroke of
Supreme Wisdom, bereft them of the fangs,
whereby they might otherwise give pain, so
that the poison, instead of being inserted in
their victims, remains to consume them
selves. Hence, every winding of the scaly ser
pent in his abortive production shows that
while he, or it, can do what a man could
not do, make a jest of the physical infirmi
ties of another infirmities inflicted by the
same hand that made us a cripple and him
a snake he still feels his inferior condition.
That while his snakeship gloats upon the
fact that we "walk upon a wooden peg," he
still feels and knows that we are a "peg"
above him. Though lame, we cau still walk
erect, whereas he is doomed by Omnipo
tence : "Upon thy belly shalt thou go. and
dust shall thou eat all the days of thy life!"
This is his inheritance. Poor serpent! he
can't be other than he is. God has willed
it so.
Who the author of this famous thing is
we know not ; and we are glad we do uot
know. It would not pay us to find out.

something like the rhyme we once saw :
"There was an old man aud he wore red hair.
And every time he walked out he rode a white

Or the old woman's Scriptural poetry :
"Pnaraoh was a rascal
Because he refused to let the children cf Israel
go to celebrate the pascal."

IVlne Ilnodred Utiles of tlie Pa
cific Ilellroad.
How long is it since we chronicled, with
some pardonable American boasting, the fact
that eight hundred miles of the Ubion Paci
fic Raihoai tr.re in operation ? Indeed, we
may go a little further buck and ask how loDg
since our columra to'd of the finisling of
seven hundred, cf six hundred, and of five
hundred and forty miles? Wonderful as it
may seem, a'.l this has been within one short
e ir. 'J he base of the Rocky Mountains and
the five hundred and fortieth mile prst were
achieved last year, when the severity of win
ter cemj elled t le track -layers to lay down
the e'.edges with which they had spiked
down over two hundred miles of tra-k in
18'J7. The accomplishment of half a thous
and miles across the plains was accounted
a marvelous achievement ; and so it was.
It was the addition of five hundred miles of
civilization to our national domain. But
now, in less than twelve months thereafter,
we record thd building of three hundred and
sixty more miles, and the completion of nine
hundred west from the Missoud river, at
Oaiaha. And yet the work of 1808 'is not
done, for we read that on the 27th of October
more that seven and one-third miles of track
were laid ; and the dispatch naively closes
by saj-ii g, '-A large force is at work day and
night." We should think it was. Seven
miles of railroad a day is not particularly
suggestive of holidays, or eight hour move
ments, or long "nooning." The road will
rach Salt Lake this season, and the spring
cf 1869 will see tbe connection with the Cen
tral PacinV, and through pa.-senger and
fitight trafiic established. Already the time
between New York and San Francisco has
been i educed to eleven days.
The way business of the-road has been im
mense. For the year ending June 30, 1868,
the earnings were over four million dollars,
while for the month of September they were
$544,000. One hundred and eleven locomo
tives and 139S cars are constantly employed
in transportation. The road and the Com
pany appear to have almost every possible
element of gre tt success ; and the hoi iers of
the Company's bonds such as are advertised
elsewhere must be more than gratified at
the rapidly recurring proofs of the security
and proCt of this great national enterprise.

readers to Dellaven it Bro., No. 40 South

Injurious Eff.tts r r Cast Iron Stovks.
The fiblio mind ha been somewhat nitate-1
by the recert action of that repository of useful
knowledge, the French Academy of Science?,
which, at its late sitting in I'aris. deliberated
upon the extremely injurious effects npon
henlth of cast iron stoves, arriving at the con
clusion that the heated surface generate hy
drogen from organic matter raised to a high
temperature. It was also said that, ly the use
of such stoves, fevers were produced bearinsr
ana'ogy to those generated by marsh g:is, the
high temperature decomposing the insensible
perspiration, generating ammonia, which is al
ways prejudicial to health. It did not rrquire
an expression of opinion from the French
Academy to prove the deterioration of the at
mosphere resulting from the use of cat-iron and
unlined cylinder stoves, as it has longbeen
known that their use as heat generators hns
been exceedingly injurious to health. Not
alone the occupants of private rooms, halls,
steamboat cabins, and ho1. el rooms have had
cause to complain of its enervating effects, but
sa!e.-mcn in stores and clerks in offices have
had their efficiency impa're-.l by inhaling the
poisonous atmosphere, which renders thetn
drowsy, nervous, thirsty and debi'itated, pre
venting their usefulness and permanently in
juring: their henlth.
1 his is not the cise with stoves baring a
clay lining, as the deleterious matter complain
ed of is not generated when the heat passes
through such a medium, and the use of such
stoves is recommended by the highe-t scientific
and medical authority. " Spear & Bro, 1116
fciid 1118 Market steet., have manufactured a
large number of the most approved styles of
cluy lined gas burning sitting room, office and
salesroom stoves, which they offer to the trade,
and to individuals desiiing an excellent, dura
ble and hen.thiul heater, at lew rates, to enable
them to make alterations In their already
spacious storerooms to accommodate their ex
tensive trade Those unprovided with stoves,

CONSTITUTIONAL DIFFERENCES
There are many constitutions so inherently de
fective iu energy as to derive great benefit from
a moderate use of pure liquor combined with
such vegetable medicine and extracts as enter
into the composition of Roback'a Stomach Bit
ters, and there are many situations in which
eveu the healthiest derive additional security
from their occasional use.
If healthy persons are exposed to unusual
and continued exertion in confined air, or under
the heat of the sun, or to the influence of de
pressing watchfulness of traveliug, ond chinpe
of diet and water, or if residents ot malarious
districts or the rank river bottoms of the Wst
and Souih, there can be no doubt but a careful
use of Robacic's Stomach Bitthis wiib the food
would surely be the means of warding off actual
disease and euubllna them io bear unaffected,
where, without the Bitters, they would likely
have to succura'. to disease. Thev strengthen ,
tone and invigorate, aid digestion and increase
the appetite.
Not unfrequently persons who do not know
anything about the nature, purpose or operation
of mcdiciue, deliberately express opinions at
once unfavorable to a combination of remedies
put up under one name. These individuals ore
skeptical as to whether such a compound really
possesses the necessary virtues for preventing
and removing any or all of a variety of diseases.
But. reflect a moment. Disease takes its rise
in the organs of our bodies, and only differs in
the amount of morbific matter in the blood and
seeretions, and in the functional derangements
of the stomach, liver, kidnevs and intestines.
Now. MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS purifies
the blood and secretions, and corrects the ac
tion of all th functions, removes the cause and
thus expels the disease itself. Can anything
be more simple and efficacious ? Medical men
freely ac :ord it the distinction of .t standard
