Work upon the foundation of the
new Lutheran Church was commenced
yesterday. The encouragement received
from old subscribers, and from the public
generally, we understand, is such as to
warrant the congregation in calculating
upon the speedy completion of the church.
Farmers and others will, of course,
make a note of the announcement of the
3Ies3rs. Dosters, of the re-opening of the
Stroudsburg Woolen Mills. This opens
a good market at which to purchase
cloths and woolen goods generally, and a
tcady market for the sale of wool.

Impeariunent
The Senate, sitting as a high court of
Impeachment, for the trial of President
Johnson, adjourned without day, on Tues
day, after voting on the second and third
articles of Impeachment, with similar re
sult to that obtained in a vote on the 11th
article. A judgment of acquittal, on
these articles, was ordered to be entered
Lefore the adjournment.
3 We would call attention to the
tidvcrtisement of Benjamin Dungan &
Sons, who are the agents of the " Auto
matic Clothes Washer," a really mereto
tious affair. It needs but a single trial
.to convince the most skeptical that the
"labors and vexations of washing-day are
readily changed into a pleasure by the
.Use of this washer. It is encumbered
with no cogwheels, no rollers, no rubbers;
indeed, with nothing that can wear or
car clothes.
ryThe circus which exhibited athis
plce, on Tuesday last, partook somewhat
of the character of a singed cat. The
outside performance was a very slimsy af
Jair, Lut the inside performance was, by
all odds, the best ever witnessed in our
borough. We never saw better manage
ment, or more gentlemanly conduct, on
Jhe part of those connected with affairs of
Che kind. The animals connected with
jt were all splendid specimens of the brute
creation, and their training was a wonder
to the spectators.
The Ticket
"We, this week, place at the head of
our paper, the very excellent ticket
, placed in nomination b' the National Ile-
. publican Convention at Chicago. We
have not room for an extended notice of
' its merits, at thi3 time, but in our next
will give extended sketches of Grant and
Colfax, both as men among men, and as
faithful servitors of the public in the sev
eral positions which they have filled.
The nominations, a3 we judge from our
exchanges, and proceedings of ratifica
tion meetings already held, give' ihe
greatest satisfaction to the masses; and
we feel that we but indulge a fixed truth,
' when we say that the triumphant election
of the nominees is but a question of
time, as fixed by the laws of the laud.
Of course, the Democracy are not in love
with the ticket ; but the fact that it meets
their sneers, and jeers, and vituperation
. is an evidence that the work of the Con
tention was well done. The platform,
and other matters connected with the
proceedings of the Convention, will be
found in to-dsy's paper.

The Democratic Meeting.
The Democracy of.the County of Mon
roe, held its annual talk at the Court
House, on Monday evening last. The
Hon. John Merwiue presided, assisted
by several very good-looking and soundly
orthodox Vice-Presidents. Thomas 31. j
31cllhaney, also, a very good-looking
man very modest, but having no maw
kish sensibilities as to what he swallows
with his official fodder, so that it is caught
in the Democratic net, did the Secretary
business. Our amiable neighbor of the
" Democrat" sat beside Thomas, and it
was pleasant to look at the fatherly care
which he exercised over him. The two,
combined, added greatly to the largeness
of the meetiog, while a number of good
Republicans, our humble self among the
number, added much to its respectability.
After the meeting was thus organized,
and its respectability secured, the usual
committee on resolutions was appointed,
of which our whilom friend Judge De
Young was made the Chairman ordinary,
and our other whilom friend, the Hon.
ScnatorBurnctt, Chairman extraordinary.
The committee having retired, our other
friend J. B. (not the old Public Function
ary, but a younger one of the same ilk),
we mean J. B. Storm, Esq., in response
to a call, proceeded to address the assem
blage. J. B. looked palo and scared, and
his speech sounded as though it was in
any thing rather than in the enjoyment
of good health. There was in it neither
the flippancy of the brass-faced school
boy, nor the pomposity of a Senatorial
effort, nothing much but sound, and
very dull sound at that, and, at its
conclusion, J. B. sat down as though he
was, to use a homely phrase, "devilish glad
the say was said." He attempted several
hits at the Republican party; but if his
mind prompted thoughts that breathed
and words that burned, his lips cer
tainly refused to give them .utter
ance. The action of the Chicago Con
vention and its platform was merely
touched upon; and was used only as a
means to elevate him to such a position
as he thought would enable him to throw
the " stiuk pots" of Democratic warfare
at its candidate for the Presidency, Gen.
Grant, who, J. B. thought, or, at least,
said he thought so, was a very ordinary
soldier not 33 good as a dozen other?
he could have named and no states
man at all. Grant's swamping out of the
rebels entire, and closing the rebellion,
was nothing, in J. B.'s estimation, in
comparison with McClellan's dress pa
rades, and pulling heel for the gunboats,
or with Burnside's winter march on the
Rapidan, or Hooker's march to Chancel
lorsville and then back again, or the two
Bull Buns all of which, in their day,
because of the comfort which they afforded
the enemy, painted smiles on the faces of
J. B. and his co partizans, and caused
inward chuckling to the Democracy of
the country generally. But J. B. con
fessed that Gen. Grant was once a great
man in Democratic estimation that,
then the party loved him, and thought
him a good man, whpther viewed as a
soldier or statesman. That was when
they thought him a Democrat, and, doubt
less, hoped to have him as the-Democratic
candidate for President and that love
for hiiu continued, until, in the Johnson
Stanton imbroglio, he refused to support
the treasonable, law-bieaking machinations
of the former, and felt impelled to openly
stand, where his cause always showed he
stood, on the side of the country, its pros
penty and its perpetuity. Then J. B.
and the Democracy deserted him, and he
lost, in their estimation, all zest either as
a soldier, a statesman or a man. J. B
had not heard of the nomination of Schuy
ler Colfax for the Vice-Presidency, or
we should probably have his opinion of
him. On the subject of full delegate
nominations J. B. was either for or
against the innovation as occasion might
require. lie was afraid that, if adopted,
the system would breed supinencss in the
party, by doing away with local Etrife;
while if it was not adopted the cause of
Temperance would be promoted, and men
4
ot ins peculiar stripe of virtue niiht
stand a chance of getting office without
"treating," a something which he favored
heartily; and better men, in every re
spect, would thu3 be secured for the of
fices than we have heretofore had. This,
we thought, reflected somewhat on our
friend the Prothonotary, who was present,
and who was elected under the " treating"
system; but as he blushingly submitted
to the insinuation in silence, we presume
he thought there was virtue in the pro
position. J. B. choked off at this, and
set down, amid the almost breathless si
lence which reigned until interrupted by
a feat of ground and lofty tumbling at
tempted by one of the hard fisted yeo
manry, in his effort to gat out of the
Court-House.. , ,
After-a few moments reflection, over'
the wonderful effort of J. B., the com-
mittee on resolutions returned, and thro'
their Chairman ordinary, Judge De
Voung,. reported, a series of resolves,
which looked to nothing, if they did not
look to repudiation. They were particu
larly down on taxation and expenditures,
and made doleful laiacntatious jvcr the
hardness of the times, when the committee j
and the meetiog very well knew that
the country never enjoyed greater pros
perity than now. The resolutions, of
course, were swallowed with a will. The
resolutions adopted, the Chairman extra
ordinary, General Burnett, promulgated
his plan the for reconstruction and future
government of the Democracy. But the
meeting did not seem prepared to swal
low new fangled ideas, and, after much
head-shaking and considerable "amend
ing, notwithstanding 'the smiling com
mendations of President Merwiue, very
reluctantly voted for the adoption of the
plan. On the whole, we think the Sena
tor was roughly handled, for whatever in
his programme he seemed to set his
heart upon, was sure to be voted down.
The whole plan is to be submitted to
the vote of the Democracy this fall.
We cannot avoid, before concluding,'
again entering our solemn protest against
the manner in which our amiable neigh
bor of the "Democrat" is snubbed at
these meetings of the party for which be
does all the dirty work. If he gets up to
make a motion, or do a big thing of any
kind, nothing but ominous fingers, shaken
in his face, or suggestions to sit down,
meet his advances just as though it
was his province to dance only to the
piping of others, act when he is told to
act, and do what he is told to do. This
is the second time he has been thus
treated and this is the second time we
have protested. Look out for breakers
if it occur the third time. If he is mod
est, we arc determined he shall not be
without friends to right his wrongs; and,
if he is qualified to do the editing of the
organ of the party, we do not see why he
should not havo tho right, untrammeled,
to speak out in the party meetings. Stick
to it, neighbor, we'll back you. You have
a3 good a right to be somebody, as some
body e'se has.
Taking it -altogether, the meeting was
without spirit, and we hardly think that
even the Democracy will venture to call
it an " immense gathering."

S&" The meetings of the County Tern
pcrancc Convention, on Tuesday, were
very interesting affairs to those who fal
in with that way of thinking. The llev.
Pcnnel Combe, had been busily engaged
for several days in perfecting the work of
organization, and the result is said, to
have been a complete success. The pro
ceedings of the Convention will probably
be laid before our readers next week.
One of the results of the movement
has been to stop the license of all the sa
loons in the borough, and of many of the
hotels and saloons throughout the county
Hereafter lager becomes a tabood article
with us, so far as open dealing is concerned,
though we should not be much surprised
if a contraband trade would spring up
which will make John Barleycorn stand
at a premium. The experience of all
past intemperate temperance movements
has been, that if we put a legal end to
the trafic in the article, we but open the
door to an illegal one. It is not in the
knowledge of any one that such move
mcnts have ever affected a permanent re
form.
The Rev. Dr. George Junkin died at
his sou s residence, in Philadelphia, on
the 20 inst. The Doctor had been iden

half century. He took a prominent part
in tue great controversy which ultimately
resulted in the division of the Church in
to the old and new school branches. It
was Dr. Junkin also who instituted the
original charges of unsoundness in doc

Philadelphia. On the organization of
Lafayette College at Kaston, he became
its first President. In 1841 be resigned

The whole Convention rose to their

was prolonged, and ended in three cheers
for General Grant, the band playin
" Hail to the Chief."
The States were then called, and each

THE PLATFORM.
The platform, as adopted by the Con'
vention, is as follows:
The National Republican party of the
Lnitcd States, assembled in National
Convention, in the city of Chicago, on
the ZUtn uay ot May, lStiS, make the
following declaration of principles:
First. We congratulate the country
on the assured success of the Rcconstruc
tion. projects of Congress, as evinced by
the adoption, in a majority of the States
lately in rebellion, of Constitutions secur
ing equal, civil and political rights to all,
aud regard it as the duty of the govern
ment.to sustain these institutions, and to
prevent the people of such States from
being remitted to a state of anarchy.
Second. The guarantee by Con
gress of equal suffrage to all loyal men in
the South, was demanded by every con
sideration of public safety, of gratitude
and of justice, and must be maintained,
while the question ot suffrage in all the
loyal States properly belongs to tho peo
ple of these States.
.Third. We denounce all forms of re
pudiation as a .national crime and a na
tional dishonor. Honor requires the pay
ment of the public indebtedness in the
utmost good faith to all creditors, home
and abroad, not only according to the let
ter, but tho spirit of the laws under which
it was contracted.
Fourth. It is duo to the labor of the
nation that taxation should be equalixed
and. reduced as rapidly as the national
faith will permit.
rifth. 1 ho national debt, contracted
as it has been for the preservation of tho
Lnion for all time to come, should be ex
tended over a fair period for redemption,
and it is the duty of Congress to reduce
the rate of interest thereon whenever it
can honestly be done.
Sixth. That the best policy to diminish
our burden of debt is to so improve our
credit that capitalists will seek to loan us
money at lower rates of interest than we
now pay and must continue to pay so lonz
as repudiation, partial or total, open or
covert, is threatened or suspected.
Seventh. Ihe Government of tho Uni
ted States should be administered with
the strictest economy, and the corrup
tions which have been so shamefullv
nursed and fostered by Andrew Johnson
call loudly for Radical reform.
Eighth. We profoundly deDiore the
untimely and tragic death of Abraham
Lincoln, and regret tho accessiou of An.
drew Johnson to the Presidency, who
nas aciea treacherously to the people who
elected him and the cause he was nledir-
ed to support ; has usurped his legislative
uuu judicial lunctiou ; na? rctu.scJ to
execute the laws ; has used his high of
fice to induce others to ignore and violate
the laws; has employed his executive
power to render insecure the prosperity,
peace and liberty of life of the citizens ;
has abused the pardoning power; has de
nounced the national legislature as un
constitutional ; has persistently and cor
ruptly resisted by every measure in his
Dower, every proper attempt at the recon
struction of the States lately in Rebellion ;
has perverted the public patronage into
an engine of wholesale corruption ; and
has been justly impeached for high crimes
and misdemeanors, and properly denounc
ed guilty by the vote of thirty-five Sena
tors.
Ninth. The doctrine of Great Britain
and other European powers that, because
a man is once a subject, he must always
be so, must be resisted at every hazard
by the United States, as a relic of the
feudal times, not authorized by the law
of nations, and at war with our nationa
honor and independence. Naturalized
citizens are entitled to be protcc.eu
in all their rights of citizenship, as
though they were native-born ; and do
citizen of the Uuited States, native or
naturalized, must be liable to arrest and
imprisonment by any foreign power, for
acts done or words spoken 10 this coun
try ; and if so arrested and imprisoned, it
is the duty of the government to inter
fere in his behalf.
Tenth. Of all who were faithful in the
trial of the late war, there were none enti
tied to more especial honor than the brav
soldiers and seamen who endured the
hardships of campaign and cruise, and
imperiled their lives in the service of the
country. The bounties and pensions pro
vided by law for these brave defenders 01
the nation are obligations never to be for
gotten. The widows and orphans of the
gallant dead are the wards of the people
a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation's
protecting care.
Eleventh. Foreign emigration, which
in the past has added so much to the
wealth and development of the resources
and the increase of power to this nation,
tho asylum of the oppressed of all nations,
should be fostered and encouraged by a
liberal and just policy.
Twelfth. This Convention declares its
sympathy with all the oppressed peoples
which are struggling for their rights.
Hembold's Medicines.
There arc none among all tho proprie
tary medicines that stand higher than
those prepared by H. T. Hclmbold, 591
Broadway, N. Y. They have been before
the public for a number of years, and for
the diseases for which they arc intended
as a specific they stand unrivaled, and
rank as standard wherever known. At
the Cape of Good Hope, the Hottentots
have long used Buchu for a variety of
diseases ; it was borrowed from those rude
practitioners by the English and Dutch
physicians, on whose recommendation it
was employed in Europe, and has now
come into general use. Dr. Helmbold
has scientifically combiued the curative
properties of Buchu, and with upwards
of thirty thousand unsolicited certifi
cates and hundreds of thousands of liv
ing witnesses of its curative proper
ties, accumulated within eighteen years,
has not been in the habit of resorting to
their publication. He does not do this,
Irom the tact that his remedies rank, as
standard ; they do not need to be propped
up by certihcates. Ihe science of medi
cine, like the Doric column, stands sim
ple, pure and majestic, having fact for its
pillar, and truth alone for its capital.

Curious Phenomena it the Pwniftfv
ma uu itegtocs,
The Erie Observer says : Much excite
ment is prevailing at Westfield. owidk to
some singular phenomena which have'
been apparent for a week past. la mauy'
of the houses situated on the west side of
the creek au almost constant jar and rat
tling of doors aud windows is manifested,
and the eutire buildings tremble. This
remarkable feature has exhibited itself
for about a week. At first it was sup
posed that it might be the result of pass
ing trains, and uo notice was taken of it ;
but tho same tremble is manifest when
trains are not passing. There is no ap
parent cause for it, aud it has been the
occasion of much speculation.
Our reporter has visited tho locality
and several of the houses, and talked with
the residents. The excitement is on the
increase, owing to the mystery of the
manifestatious. The trembling ;is not
violent, but at times is :reater than at
others, and occasionally disappears en
tirely. Clothes huiiin ou a line in tho
the houses are, during the mmifestation,
in a constant tremor, an J even shake when
there is no apparent shake in the house.
The jar is so great at times as to make
dishes rattle iu the cupboard.

in the neighborhood some time ago, but

conjectures, and seem to be struck with
awe and wonder.
