THE UNION AS IT WAS;
before abolition, secession. etc., disturbed its harmony
' THE CONSTITUTION SS IT IS;
Enforced and respected In all sections of the country
•
• Sheriff's Sales. •
Meiabera of the Dir. anti psrtles controlling writs au
thorizing saleof real estate by the Sheriff of Sustrehanna
county, may by a recent act of the legislature, direct by
endorsement on the prwcipe for the writ; to-which two
papers in the county; said real estate ',shall be advcr 7
tiseti;
This endorsement is to be transferred b'y the Pro
, thonotary to the writ for the Sheriff's guidance In the;
matter.
Attorneysorothers who desire their sales to be adver
tised in the Montrose Democrat should hear in mind that
they must make such directions upon thp prtecipe for
the writ when they Issue it.
Plaintiffs in suits or owners ofjudgments upon which
'hairs sales are to be made, who wish said sales to ••be
printedins papei, should request their lawyer to so
order. A cefilled copy of the act may be seen at the
Democrat Office. •
'ar Saturday's papers contain rumors
that Gen. Foster had gained a *tory ro
ver the rebels near Newbern, and that the
rebels had abandoned thgr attack on the
beleagured force at- Waghington. Sever
al.additional captures have been made by
the rebel privateers. ,
'The borough election in Scranton
came _off hist week; and resulted in a clean
triumph of the, Democrats over thephara
saical advocates of abolition, corruption
and tyranny.
PnEcoctor darbiitidale . Advance
say§ that aboy_ of 14 years; and.a girl
, e,f
1 years, 'of Dundaff borough, this county
recently 'were married and left for parts
unknown. these "babes in the wood,”
had:doubtless heard of the Motto: "Go
it while you're young.",
AdMinistration is not Government.
As republicans are getting .fond of,
claiming that one cannot Oppose the, ad
s minisiration without being an enemy of
the s
goVernment, We again • remind. them.
.that some month's ago, the 'President,.
through his 'Secretary of State, said to
foreign powers that _
" In this country especially, it is a habit
not only entirely consistent with the Con
stitution, but even essential to-its-stabili
ty, to regard the Administration at any
time existing as. distinct and separate
from the Government itself, and to - can-.
sass the prciceedings of the one without a
thought of disloyalty to the other."
We cordially endorie this recent avoir
al of an old principle, and shall at all
times exercise what is both a privilege
and. duty,. freely and fearlessly to the ex,
Aga we.may judge to be proper.
• riirThe New York Times s said to be
the administration organ, lately'printed
.the appended paragraph in an editorial.
We advise it to be careful, lest its "loyal
. ty' be suspected, as the pimps of the ad-
tninistiation are trying to induce freemen
to believe that not to endorse all acts of
the administration_ is to lie against the
government—a, dogma that may do for
aLsves to be taught,lbut *Web 'no man fit
to be free should tolerate for a moment.
- - The Timer kindly'adniits the established
fact that
"We are well aware that the Demo
cratic party does not endorse very many
• of.- the acts of the administration: "We
have no right to ask such an endorsement
- at its hands.. I.Tpou any of the-'details
- adminiatration, upon any of the measures
' which the President 'and • Congress may
See fit to adopt, that party his a perfect
• right to its own; opinions. It may with
- perfect propriety'protest against the proc
lamation of emancipation, the policy ()far
' bitary arrests, the enlistment of negro sol
diers, and any other measure of the ad
,- ministration.' •
