tSS We were extremely happy during
the last week in the CDjoymcntof our an.
oval visit from our old friend Lewis D.
Vail, of Philadelphia. Man and
boy vre have been acquainted wilh him,
II r. V., for some twenty-eight years, aud
not only ourself, but the whole commu
nity, arc always pleased to eco .him.
Time seems to Ect lightly upon him; and
our only tcgrct is that he holds to his
own in the modern Democracy of his pol
itic?, as he docs in his general personal
appearance. Could wc perceive a change
in the former it would piovo a happy
pcrevptiuu iudw-cd.
The Democratic Platform.
The rentier will find on our first png.-; ihr
platform, not exactly oi principles, but ol
rli tier in"- "cnrrallier," adopted by the New
York Convention of mongrels, and upon
which'is asked tlic votes of the people for it?
candidate?, Seymour and Clair. We bc-
ntak for the document a candid reading1.
satisfied that all who do read it will readily
discover its weakness. After tonic preamb-
ing, iu w hich the high agility of the party
is most marvellously displayed, the Conven
tion demand?.
First, The immediate restoration of the
States lately in rebellion. Arkansas, jVuis-
ianna. Alahamma. Georgia, North and South
Carolina, and Florida had already been re
stored; and, as if to show the di.-honcsty o
llic Convention, while every Republican in
Congress voted lor tlieir restoration, every
Democrat, including A. J. President volet
aanict it. A. J s. vote was vetoctl, and tut
Slates were restored by a iitrict Republican
vote.
Second, The Convention demands amnesty
for past political ofiienj.es, and yet it is no
tnrious that every move on the part of Re
publicans in Congress to brin? about that
most desirable end, has been met with the
slcrncst and most unrelenting opposition c
the Democratic members of that body.
The third, fourth and fifth propositions o
Democracy arc just what the Republican
arc as rapidly bringing nbout as is con
distent with a safety to the country, and
wilh justice to those who arc not bondhoh
era as well as to those . who arc. The
pledges of the Government, whether openly
made or implied, arc iutt precisely what
the Republicans intend fchall be redeem
both in letter and spirit; and especially
those pledges which were necessary to
cure the life of the Government when the
Democracy North and the Democracy Soul
were united in a most vigorous assault upon
it. As soon as these co-laborers for the dc
struction of the Union agree to ccaso their
efforts to keep the country in turmoil, and
allow the business of the country to run in
its legitimate channels, just so soon will the
Republicans bring about "one currency for
the government, the laborer, the people, the
officeholder and the bondholder" and that
too, i currency of gold, such aa existed be
fore the treason of Democracy North and the
Democracy South rendered a resort to "pro
mises to pay " necessary.
The sixth proposition of Democracy i
abundantly answered by the fact that the
Kepubiican Congress entered largely into
the work demanded long before the demand
was made. The standing army is being ra
pidly reduced, and the Frcedmcu's Bureau
is giving way as last as iwepublican votes in
Congress, in spite of Democratic opposition,
can possibly secure the restoration of States
and " citil government to the American jct
plc." Cut so long as the millions of debt
inflicted upon the country by a Democratic
rebellion remains, tax assessors and collectors
will remain as an incubus upon our pro
pcrity, and as a warning to the American
people to beware of the men, and the parly,
which has so sorely atlliclcd them. With.
out repudiation, there can be no relief, until
every cent of the debt is paid, and repudia
tion is a word not to bo found in the vocabu
lary of the Republican party.
. Hut why particularise all iho pieces o:
folly ectforth in the platform; when he who
has kept pace with the transpiring of events
for the last four years cannot fail to discover
that, notwithstanding the lion's skin, it i
the political jickass that is kicking against
the fate in ctorc for it. Again, wesay, read
the platform.
t3 Judge Lynn, of the ClcarGcld
District, has resigned the President
Judirship, and, it is said, will return to
the practice of his profession. It is in
sicuated that this may put us to the ne
cessity of electing a ucw President Judg
for our district the prospect being that
Judge Darrctt will become Judge Lynu's
successor.
Cvy A very neat and well-built plat
form waggon built by Win. Huntsman
fur J. S. Williams & Co., to be used in
their liquor buEiucss, and another built
for the Messrs. Palmers, to be used iu the
butchering business, have attracted con
siderable attcntiou upon, our streets. In
all their appointments they arc excellent
specimens of good workmanship and cu-
terprisc on the part t the builder and
those in his employ, as well as liberality
on the part of their owners. The fact is
thus being daily demonstrated that, look
to what brauch of manufactures you will,
it uceds but a proper support ou the part
of our citizens to make S-troudsburg cu
tirely Eclf-dcpcudcnt, and wholly inde
pendent of the manufacturers of other
places. No matter what is wanted, all
the way from a locomotive down to a saw
buck the skill is here, which needs only
tho proper order to secure the thiDg de
sired.
!r The Democracy have not yet fully
recovered from the surprise which seized
them ou the announcement of tho nom
inations of the' 4th of July Convention.
To this day the rank and file have not
learned whether "to " hurrah" for Mc
Seymour and O'Hlair or O'Seymour aud
Mclilair, or whether it is plaiu Seymour
and Hlair. Hut it is so consoling to know
that it docs not matter much, as neither
uamc will bo needed after the fall elec
tions. Thcu Grant aud Colfax will be
uaiucs ia everybody's mouth, and remain
i'i fur the next four years to come.

honor and good name of a company would
be much better maintained than by hav-

there is any mi.-? management in its opera

the blame to, and if that officer has not
exercised proper judgment, let him at

person put iu his fctcad, but until then
let there be a cheerful submission to the
orders of him whom the company has
placed in authority.
Iu the hour of battle the distinction of
a good soldier lies uot in scttiug up Jiis

but in being in Ins proper place fully
armed and equipped, always ready to' act
with, and only with, tho word of corn

organization, each member is found re
maining quietly in his place awaiting or

is bid to do, and will not be found mur

of 50 has uot tho privilege of carrying

are thus anxious to exercise upou an en

they would, through practice, become

A Connecticut paper say3 f "An amus

poorhouso ou the bunks of the Yantic, in
Norwich, ou Monday, by a man about
thirty years of age. The man would wade
into the Yantic up to his knees and begiu
to fctoop down, when his wife would plunge
in aud pull him out. all the while calhn
pitcously for help. Thcu the two would
stand ou tho river bank ' awhile talkiu
earnestly, when tho husbaud, heedless of
the bcsccchings of his wife, would tear
himself from her arms and again plunge
into the dark waters with the fury of a
maniac, which would, however, be cooled
off by the time ho got in above his knees.
The wife would again lead him out, and
endeavor to persuade him to give up the
idea of suicide. After numerous attempts
