A general invitation is exten ded. "Know-Hbthingism. of the Democracy. Till a year or so ago it was tbo peouli ar pleasure of the Democratic party, whenever its editors wroteor its orators proclaimed, to denounce in unmeasured terms of bitterness the American or Know Nothing party. But recently a radical change has come over tho vision of the Democracy, and now the American party, which formerlv appeared bo hideous to 4 A its view, has taken upon itself symetrioal forms of beauty, and like the birens of old, that charmed tbe marinors by the sweet tees of their song, till they forgot their homes and dutv and remained thus en- tranced till they perished of hunger, so has the Demooraey in the days of weak ness and deraoralizatiou become encban ted with the once odious and now beauti ful song of Know-Nothingisui, Thi?, too, it will be romerabrred, is the Fame Democratic rarty which but a few mouths ago boldly and deOantly declared that it would wipe out all the isms of tbe day, bufnow wo find this bold and defiant parly trying with all its power to unite in one body, Douglasiam, Breckinridgeism and Know Nothingism. So will it be remembered, that in the last session of Congress, all the Democratic members of the Lower House, with tome three excep tions, voted for a Know Nothing Speaker of the House. Mark this Io New Jersey we.find the Breckinridge Democracy nnitcd with the Know Nothings; in New York State we find tho Douglas Democracy united withy, the Know Nothings; in Georgia wo also find the Douglas Democracy united with the-Know Nothings; while in other States tho two wings of the Democracy aro ma king desperate efforts to effect a union with the Know Nothing party. But it may not be strange that since tho Sampson-Democracy submitted itself to the foul embraces of the Delilah-Slave Power, and when aroused to conscious uess, found itself shorn of its locks ol strength and deprived of 3ight,should now, in its utter despair, bo found bowing in piteous attitude and beseeching in implo ring tones for succor and protection, at tbo ebrine of Know Nothingiam. Such is tbo demoralized, disorganized 'nd humiliating condition of tho "Dcmoa 'rtoj." But how different it is with tho "rigorous and powerful Republican party, irhieh unfalteringly adheres to the prin ciples and policy of the founders of the Government. Tho Republican party is In every sense of tho word the whiteman's party;: and it stands conspicuously before the country as tbe champion of Proteo tion to American Labor; of opposition to Slavery extension into free territories, bo cause they are desired for the home3 of free white laborers from all the States, as well as for foreign emigrants. While the Democrats aro in favor of progressive Free Trade,and of letting slavery go into the "Territories unbridled, tbe fcame as a horse or a cow. Tho Republican party is in favor of equal rights to tho citizens of all the States, that tho people of the South shall have all the privileges in the. terri tories we have, but emphatically dcuy "'her the right to carry into the territories her barbcrizing institution of Slavery and compel ua to labor by the side of her slaves, or keep out of tho territories. Suoh exclusive privileges Arc deny. Our motto is perfect equality between tbe North and South; The Republican party is iu favor of e quality between all taon, no matter where fro, and of letting merit be ttofftest in 11 cases not otherwise providedffor by tho Constitution of the U-nUod Statefas the following Resolution. passed at the 3TI)C late National Republican Convention, at Chicago, fully attests : ' o i Resolvcdl. "That tho Republican par ty is opposed to any change of our Natu ralization laws, or any State legislates by which tho rights of citizenship mtner to accorded to imigrants from foreign lands shall bo abriged or impaired; and in favor of giving a full andefficient pro tection to tho rights of all classes of citi zens whether native or naturalised, both at homo and abroad." If tbe Demooratio-Know-Nothing, Sla very Extending, Free Trade party, is en tirely satisfactory to our foreign born cit izens, then that party ought to receive their votes, but if the broad and liberal Republican platform better suits our for eign born citizens, then, of course, they will declare their preference in an unmis tablo way. . Our Borough Schools. "We would urgo upon parents tho im portance of visiting tho Schools of the Borougb occasionally; to see for themselves what progress their children are making, and the manner in which those sobools are conducted. It is certainly very en couraging to tbe children, to boo their pa reuts occasionally in the school room looking after their oduoationol interests it is encouraging to tho teaohers, who la bor under many discouragemonts from tho coldneBB and indifference of parents in a natter of such vital interest to their children; and finally, wc doubt not but it would be encouraging and gratifying to the parents themselves. Why will you not you who aro sending ohildron to school, take as much interest in their welfare at sobool as you do in other mat fnr nnrfnminfr to their 200d. . 1 OU are . j- - 0 o very careful that your children are com fortably clothed, and well fed, but yc you pay very little heod to what kind o food the immortal mind is receiving whother pood, suoh as will nounsn ana "O . expand, or bad, such as will poison and corrupt, or whether thoso minds are re coicintr no food at all. and are therefore a dying of a moral starvation. Rcccollec wo pray you, that tho lessons learnod and tha habits formed bv vour children at - w school, are not for a day, a week or year; but they arc to effect their whole future existence, for good or for evil. It is a solemn thought, is it not I It shows a , the fearful responsibility resting upon the teachers who instruct; and upon you, parents, who should by word and deed, by counsel and precept, at homo and at school aid io that instruction. . TJicn visit the Schools. You, who pay your money for the support of the school, have a right to know how that money is expended, and whether your children are receiving the benefit of it. You have a right to know whether tho teaohers em ployed by your means, aro doing their duty. You oan ascertain this in no other way than by seeing for yourselves. Visit tho schools.. See that your children have enough books and of the right kind. In spect the teacher's Roll of attendance, and aeo whether your children havo been in school every day, or whether they have been playing truant. See how often they have oome in late when it was unnecessa ry. It is impossible for tho teacher to know whether it is necessary for your children to be tardy or absent, or not, without a word from you. Now we hope and trust sincerely that every parent in this Borough, will resolve immediately to be satisfied with nothing short of a personal inspection of our schools, and not an inspection meroly, but a frequent inspection. It is very little trouble when once you determine to do it. Leave your wojk for an hour, and stop in, in the morning or afternoon or both, whenever it is most convenient; the teachers will receive you kindly, the chil dren gladly, and our word for it, you will go away hotter pleased with yourself and your sobool, and not at all regretting tbe little time and trublo tho vist has cost you.

Wo regret to learn that the Tannery of our friend Stephen Kistler, near Tannersville in this county, was cn tirely destroyed by fire on Monday night last; together with the Store house and some of its contents bolonging to tho firm of Brown and Morgan. Tho fire was first discovered by Mrs. Morgan, who awoke about twelve o'clock in the night and discovered tbe light em anating from the flames. She immedi ately gave the alarm, but unfortunately the fire had alroady progressed so far as to render all efforts to extinguish it una vailable. Wo aro informed that all of Mr, Kistler's property which was destroy ed was insured iu the Lycoming Insur ance Company, with the exception of the Bark which was Becured in the Monroe Mutual for-about 02,400. ... Brown & Morgan were insured in tho Monroo Mutual Insurance Company for 83000; th'eir loss is but partial, however, since most of their goods were saved es timated at from four to sis hundred dol lars.
