THE young Republicans of Harrisbut
have resolved to organize a GRANT Club, to
include every Republican rotes in that city.
RELEGATE the suffrage question to the res
pective States, as much as they please, the
Democracy will still find that Mr.. CIIASE
stands upon universal suffrage ground, as
he his himself stated it. "
SECRETARY 3POILLOCII replies to Mr.
Rommis very sharply, and- attempts to spec.
ify the alleged mis-statements in the first
letter of the Commissioner Mr. ROLLING
Will again respond, and it seems probable,
that out of this correspondence the public
mill gather some useful information as re
gafds the management bf the Revenue De
partment: _
IT is understood that the President will
allow the Arkansas bill to become a law,
but that he is preparing an elaborate veto of
the Omnibus bill, to which he will especially
object that it admits Alabama and Florida,
in violation of the reconstruction laws and
without the consent of their peoPle. He
will avail himself of the occasion, also, to
present again his own reconstruction policy,
as a card for the New York Convention.
Tim. Pittsburgh Post publishes a card
from "a Democratic voter of thirty-seven
years standing," who declares that the
postponing of the County Convention, until
after the National Convention,' was done
"upon a mere lawyer's excuse;” that some
other Was the real reason; 'that the country
Democracy think "eomeliody has blun
dered, and-.they '"want to know what it
means.' That country Democrat's indig
nant inquiry is very natural and proper,
but he 'should have sent his queries to the
.Repubiie—not to the Post, whlcb the Con
-vention, at the bidding of the bond-holding
Pittsburgh clique, repudiated the 'other day.
Tau character of the efforts which the
Copperheads are making to awaken the
prejudices of Jewish voters against General
GRANT may beinferredfrom the facts stated
in the annexed extract from the Indiana
correspimdenceief the New York Times:
Two circulars have lately been addressed to agreat
many Jews of Republican proclivities in the West
ern States for the purpose of inducing them to Join
in this crusade against the Republican candidate for
the Presidency. One of them is dated and mailed at
St. Louis, and signed by a certain Isaacs. who styles
himself a "Jewish officer," but who, It is said, can
not be found in that city at at nil. The other is got
up in Chteago, and is not signed by anybody, but it is
full of preposterous falsehood/concerning the opine
ions which, it asserts, Gen. Grant entertains In re
gard to the Jews in the United States. But these
efforts are wasted. „The Jews now already declare In
dignantly that appeals of this kind are Insults to
their common sense, and that - if, as certain Demo
cratic politicians have advised, mass meetings of the
Jews should bo called for the purpose of - making
demonstrations against. Gen. Grant, their leading
men would be the first to' denounce the Movement
and the designing politicians w.ho originated it.
THE House has determined to pass the
Internal tax bill and throw upon the ticenate
the responsibility, for any failure to enact it
into a law at this session. It is very justly
considered that the ,financial condition 'of
the country, and the imperfections of the
existing system , n, alike require a radical and
thorough change to be made, and admonish
- Congress tvaccept - nc limited and special
enactments of any kind is an adequate
remedytfor the-present - etas. It is insisted
that the bill max* finally disposed of-in a
few weeks, by both Houses." Nevertheless,

A A7EVIT",'IMMOCaIerIC 'CAN Eliblitta
When, in 1844 and 1852. the Democratic -
Conventions offered 'entirely newand jilt- .
expected candidates to the people, the'diflll
collies, affecting the party internally, which
those nominations solved, were 'altogether
personal in their character, and related in no
degree whatever to, any, more serious dissen
sions upon questiOns of Principle. 'No di
visions of the latter character then existed
to embarrass the Demecracy, and new men,
comparatively unknown, certainly not
known to be candidates befoh the Conven
tions :assembled, were *finally , nominated,
merely because the Conventions could not
reconcile their personal preferences among
the more distinguished men, '
It will not do for the Democracy to infer,
. .
from the success Whichattentied their flank
.
ing movements on those, former occasions,
that the same game is to succeed now. It'
[ ..
is a question not of men but ' of principles,
which their Convention must meet this
year. It is a conflict not with) their politi
cal opponents only, but it is the'bitterest.of
'family quarrels among themselves and
about matters which go to the very 'essence
of their political faith. The question is not
what it was in '44 and '52, , one of , the
greater or less popularity "of several candi:
dates either one of whom. could stand con
sistently upon the well-known and cora
monly.accepted platforth of the party, and
between whom the choice 'was there
fore • only 'One of minor impOrtance.
The question to-day concerns prin
ciples,* not men. Particular , candidates
are perhaps now urged with the 'greater
pertinacity., because of their personal engage
ments to the politicians most active in their
behalf; but, with the masses who demand
the nomination of this man, or that, of PEt-
DLETON, or. of CHASE, the prominent consid
eration is that each of these men is the rep
resentative of political opinions the most
radically ant agonistic, and which, at least
on " . the one side, involve the widest pos
sible departure from the heretofore accepted
ideas of
. the Democratic ,pirty. It is not
now, we' repeat; a question between CHASE
and PENDLETON; it is between the proscrip
tion of a nmnerous race, of citizens, or the
equal privileges of all; it is between the live
issue, of facts and a politic 'and profitable
acquiescence therein, or the dead and de
caying issue of an obsolete condition of
. . .
things, which lingers only in the ignorant'
and gross but yet potent prejudice of•men
who will learn nothing from experience, and
concede nothing to the progress of the age.
The schism which menaces,the New York
Convention would be stripped of all its
dangers, if the mitagorusm of these elemen
tary ideas could be reconeiled. Men are of
but little consequence, If the -Democracy
can explore some new path by'which to es
cape, consistently or not if only suacessful
ly, from a conflict of ideas which promises
to split their organization clean down to its
roots. The politician whose new chart shall
, .
guide them over a smooth sea, leaving Scyl
la and Charybdis, a white- man's govern
ment or the equal rights of a t eommon hu
manity irrespective ofirace!qar away on
the lee, will be master of the situation, and
of the hour. But impoisibilities are not
worth trying for. No genius can falsify
truth, and no degree .of political tact can
obscure•the greatest accomplished fact 'of
this generation. The living issue is too
much alive, too vigorously present and
overshadowing to be ignored or evaded.
If the Democratic politicians - imagine
that they can escape from the annoying
complications of the present ' situation, by
Ignoring the two men most prciminerit 'as
candidates,who are prominent only because
they appear to be identified as the especial
representatives of tWo Aicunetrically oppo
site ideas, tbey will discover their mistake,
if not when the Convection' meets, at least
very soon after. Take up whom they may,
he must be the candidate either of proscrip
tion and prejudice, or of progreis and of an
expedient acquiescence in • &hinge as they
are, practicable and immutable. ' On the one
platform he will be ruined, and on the
other he will be ruined no less. Their nom
inee must be defeated either way, and the
sure method of making that defeat hopeless
and eternally irreparable, would be to at , *
tempt to escape it by a Machiavellian coin-'
promise between the conflicting ideas.
Most fatal of all expedients, what a fatuity
it is which has so often led the politicians of
that party to adopt it ! ' ' 1
The same thing holds true of the financial
question, another source ofilissensions even
more bitter, since
‘ the popular interests to be
touched become personal; even more than
political The Democratic
be ' party might pos
sibly guided cheerfhlly through' any de
gree of compromise of mere political themiea,
but when you come to touch the pockets of
the individual, yon-may be sure that he
will consult his personal profit,, lead, his
politics will be nowhere. New, dim? any
One suppose thatthe wealthy magnates of
Democracy will submit, to, She, endowment
of a dogma which they already proclaimAto
be dowmight robbery? Will the non-bond
holding masses of the party in the West and
South be content to wallow all their mite
rated and indignant protests against those
special concessions " I to wealth which;they
hold, have neither law, justice nor equality
in their favor? And will either of these
'sections of the Democracy be satisfied with
a candidate who repudiates their - opinions'
in that regard, or whb is not openly, - clearly,
unmistakably to their own 7lesis I
of what is just and right?
No 1 gentlemen, this thing hat gortei ten

_ HONESDALE, June 12, 1868.
Issuing ftnin Otsego Lake, in Central
New York, the North Branch of the Sus
quehanna River flows in'a Southwesterly
direction, until it strike 4 the Mask range
of Mountains, in .Susquehanna, county,
Pennslyvania. Failing to force a passage,,
it turns first to . the West and then to the
North, doulding upon itself till. it fallihack
to Binghampton, •wliere it receives a pow
erful affluent, the Chenaugo, coming from
the North, near Utica. From Binghampton
the North Branch flows westerly for thirty,
or forty miles, when, it turns South and
then Southeast, making what is known as
the Great Bend. •
In Wayne county, on a shoulder of the
lifoosic range, is a basin, not deep enough
for a lake, but constituting a match of con
aiderable extent. From this :marsh issue,
in different directions, three streams. One
Is named the Staruacca, which flowing
North, empties into the Susquehanna, near .
Laneaboro. It Is over the. mouth - of the
Staruacca that the Erie Railway passes on a
magnificent stone bridge of thirteen arches,
and ninety five feet high. Another of these,
streams is the Lackawanna, which running
South, passes Carbondale, Archbald and
Scranton, and enters the Susqnehanna near
Wilkesbarre. The third of these streams
known as the Lackawaxen,departs easterly,
receives the Dyberry and the Paupack, and
unites with the Delaware river, at the point
where the Delaware and Hudson., Canal
Crosses that stream on a grand wire-suspen

Honesdale derived its name from Mr.
PAuxe Hors - n, of New York, an enterpris
ing merchant and active politician, who
. i :.
was one of the rst managers of the Dela
ware and Huds n Canal Company. The
town is _thirty- dd years old and contains.
eight or nine th usand inhabitant&
The streets of it cross each other at right
angles- The side-walks are all paved with
dressed stone, d ,the streets aro all lined
. on both sides , w* Ii trees, mostly maples and
elms, with afe ash and horse-chestnut,
creating an ov retch ,of shade - during the
warm season. here are spacious ' public
grounds, also fil ed with, trees and tastefully
'enclosed. Thes are soon to be ornamented
With fountain& The streets are well lighted
at night with g s, and the whole town is
. •
abundantly supp led, both for domestic and
fire., purposes, : ith ' pure water, brought
from 'three inter °eking lakes, in the hills,
four miles Away.: The distributing reser
voir is on a hill, , near the town; at an'alti
,
'tude Of three hundred feet.
'The main public buildings are the Court
House, the Coant. Otlinec, the Graded
School, the Presbyterian, Episcopal, Metho
dist, Baptist, German Lutheran, two Catho
lic churches, and Hebrew Synagogue. The
Presbyterian Church is a new edifice, built
of North River brick, with red sandstone
dressings, and has a superior organ. The
Episcopal Church was built a few years ago,
of rubbled stone,, and has a fine organ.
The German Catholic Church' is of brick;
while the Irish Catholics and the Methodists
have recently purchased new sites, with the
expectation of speedily erecting brick or
stone edifices of the best description.
The dwelling hous i es are not built close
together and on the lines of the streets, as
is-the case in most of the villages of this
State, but stand apart and back from the'
highways, hid away in I masses of foliage
and flowdrs. Most of the dwellings are
wooden structures, painted white with green
blinds, though many are of brick and in
highly elaborate style&
‘,
Tlris town is tile seat of justice for the
north-eastern county of the Commonwealth.
It has little coal, and of the little it has no
use is niade. The Moosic range ' is the bairi
ear of the anthracite coal fields, and these
mountains enter the county at its southern
extremity, and extend along the entire
western border, leaving , but little territory
on the western side. From the tops of this I
range, looking eastward, the prospect is tru
ly magnificent; almost -the whole_couritry
falls within the compass of viSn, present
ing a gently undulating surface, marking
with deepfissures or ravines where the water
courses have cut their Chg,iinele; , down
through the earth to the rocky depths. In
dear weather, far off to the eastward, eigh
- _
ty miles away, peak towerink above peak,
can be distinctly seen the the Catskill Moun
tains. The grand panorama is one that
whoever looks upon will not speedily for
get.
Up the Dyberry, beyond the limits of the
town, Is Glen Dyberry Cemetery, extend
ing from the water's edge, over an undulat
ing valley, and up the first acclivity,l it pre
sents a diversified surface.. The landward
sides are , protected by a stone wall. The
whole space is admirably laid out and orna
mented. Indeed, Nature surpassed any
thing Art can do in the production of this
beautiful spot. Abounding in clumps of.
Young evergreens; hartng springs gushing
from the so copiously as to feed a
pond that only/ required deepening to be
converted into a charming lake;' nd posses
sing all other elements of beauty, that need
ed only to be subdued and chaitentxl to
bring oat the highest effects; no spot has
fallen under my observation that so symbo
lizes in its aspect that grateful, reposti of the
tomb which , buffeted and strum beaten men
and women sigh for as the end of all weari
ness and disquietude. Grander sculptural
adornments exist elsewhere, but a more de
lightful nook in which to '• lie down andbe
at rest when the tumult of life 18 over,
cannot be easily conceived.
The only natural outlet of this county is
the Delaware river, with a descending nav
igation, and that restricted periods of I fresh
ets. Thirty-five or - forty years ago Mr.
Mscruen WIIRTB, Of Philadelphia, pro
jected an improvement of this navigation,
with a view to transporting anthracite coal
across the MOOFlie mnge, and thence to New
York. This enterprise expanded into the
Delayme and Hudson Canal, running from
Rondout, on the }indium, to Honesdale, and
;now transporting near two millions of tons
of coal annually:,

tract not proving satisfactory, the company
built a.hicornotive railroad, of , broad guage,
fromelawley down to. the mouth of the

by agreement, to Newbttry and Piermont
on the Hudson. This branch has; the pies
snt year, been extended up to Honesdale.
The township of Sterling, the most south
erly in this couty, is touched, by the Dela

(broad guage,) running from Communi

`rail, to near Easton, whence it toes •ind

county, and beyond, intersecting the Eric

Railroad at great Bend, in Susquehanna
county. Over the western section, Central
New York is `supplied with large quantities

Still another railroad has been projected,
to follow the, Lackawanna from Carbon
dale up to the marsh, in which it has its
heed, and thence down the Starucca to
Lanesboro, there crossing the Erie Railway
and uniting in 'the Binghatnpton and Sus:
quehenna Railroad, 'leading to Albany.: ,It
is understood that the completion: of.this
link has been:recently postponed.
More than half the townships of this coun
ty are alreadyiiiwersed by railroads, and in
the course of comparatively a few years,
most-of the others will be.
The soil is admirably adapted to grazing,
which its nearness to New York (130 miles)
makes highly. profitable. Rye, oats and
buckwheat do as well as in any other region;
wheat and corn, 'indifferently; potatoes and
othig esculent roots as well as any where
else. Apples and pears thrive; but cherzies,
plums and peaches do not do well.
For ten or fifteen years past tanning has
been, and still continues to be, conducted
on a-large scale, twenty establishments of
the most extensive dimensions , existing.
But the hemlock forests are rapidly disap
pearing, and in a few years will be suite
exhausted. •
The first settlers of this district were from
Now England and New Jersey. A decided
majority of the present inhabitants who are
of American origin, _ are of those stocks.
When the canal was commenced the Irish
came in, and ten years later the Germans.
- Now, more than one half of the population
of the county are foreigners. The Germans
greatly surpass the,lrish in thrift, and are
acquiring property with marvellous celerity.
For many years the Democrats held undis
pitted sway; the county belonging to the
10th legion, (now the 11th district,) which
has steadily given a larger democratic ma
jority than any other district in the Com
monwealth. However, for many years the
Democratic majoritrid Wayne steadily re
ceded, antil, in 1810, it gave Hr. LiNcomir
two hundred majority The active Repub
licans becoming disgusted With the treat
ment they received from the party kmders at
Harrisburg and Washington, relaxed their
efforts, and the democrats again - obtained a
majority of five hundred. This was reduced
last year to three hundred; with a fair pros
pect
of being wiped out next October.
