QZf A couple of weeks ago, as we no
ted at the time, friend Whittlesey, of the
JVvrthern Penntylvania, had occasion to
visit cur town. In his last he publishes the
fcccret,-of his visit, and notices at some
Jyngth, our town and hia impression of it.
In noticing our hotels he speaks thus!y ; and
as we are satisfied from what he eoys, and
trom what we know, that he speaks from
"the bo.-k," we have no hesitation in de
claring every word he says to bo true as
preaching, and a little truer than some
preaching we have listened to in our days :
btrouJsburg has live hotels. Speakinj

It was a very unpretending fctructure, with
a national name the American Hotel. The
landlord is Jacob Knecht, a thorough,

into the wrong nest that we had better

Hut the ppeedy or rival of the dinner hour
convinced us that our Stroudsburg friends

The Delegate System.
At the annual meeting ot the Democracy
of Monroe county, held on tlie lirsl evening
of May Court, the Hon. Senator Burnett, as
the select chairman of a select portion of the
committee on rcsolut ions, Jre ported a whereas
or two, and a set of grandiloquent resolves,
in which it was set forth that, hereafter, the
scramble for all the offices, on the part of
the faithful, should be settled by the touch
stone of regular Democratic nominations.
The rcso'utions were read in masse, and they
were read singly ; they were discussed, and
they were re-discussed ; and after they were
pronounced 'wcrry good excellent." by the
efficient chairman of the meeting, who is a
very patriarch in the ciuse cf "Dimocracy,"
they were adopted seriatim, as the Senator
rnllorl it. without a dissenting voice. This
done, the meeling adjourned, and Democra
rv went home brcatlimjr more treely over
j -
the thought of having driven another nail in
the coffin of "Black-Republicanism.'
Nor were these proceedings had without
due preparation. The discussion which
proceeded the adoption of the resolutions was
unlimited in scape, (save at that point, per
haps, where the Senator made his unwar
rantable attempt to snub the climbing pro
pensities of our neighbor of the Kronroc Dent
crat,) and covered the whole ground.cvcn to

the people are forming in their might for
the great affray. Never before were the
Republicans throughout the country more
enthusiastic than they arc at this time. The
npathy which a week or two ago gave the
Democracy so much comfort, is now rapidly
wasting away, and gloom is taking the place
of the 6miles which, a few days ago, ren
dered Democratic phizes so radicnt. Mass
meetings are being held all over the coun
try, at which thousands upon thousands at
tend, to attest their determination to starfd
by the men who ttood by the country in its
greatest hour of need, and to rebuke the
orphan asylum burning and repudiating
Democracy for their bra.-s faced ncss, cxlii
bited in their attempt to swindle into the
Presidential chair, euch a man as Horatio
Seymour, and into the Vice-Presidency the
very rcccut convert to secession revolution

the signs of the times; defeat, the worst
that ever fell to the lot of a parly awaits the
Democracy this fall. Republicans of Mon

Admiral Porter on Gen. Grant.
A letter by-thc Hon. E. G. Squierfrora
Rich Held Springs, to Fran?: Leslie
hist rated XciaiHiiJcr contains the follow-
ing testimony by the callant Admiral j.
1). Porter in refutation of the slanders
which have Iccu heaped upon Gen. Grant
by his enemies :
Admiral Porter is a visitor at this mod
est watering-place the quietest and least
obtrusive of its quiet Summer denizens,
who discuss political affairs with moder
ate zeal, and on. whotn the fiery appeals
ol the partisan press fall with no more
startling result than is indicated in the
following observation fro'ui a well condi
tioned retired-merchant of our own city.
"Of course," said this worthy representa
tive of au important class, "wc must elect
Grant, especially id view of the new re
volution now threatened by the Rebels
and their sympathizers ; but what a pity
that the General drinks !"
The promulgators of the allegation
asaiust the General would have slunk a-
way under the frown of the brave and
bronzed sailor, when he exclaimed in re
ply. 'Sir, I pronounce the story of Gen.
Grant's intemperance a falsehood. I have
known him since the commencement ol
the war. . Our iclatimi3 while cooperat

Who Commenced the War.
There are members of thc Democratic
party stupid enough to credit thc oft re
peated falsehood that the war commcuccd
under a Republican Administration. As
Republican authority is not valid with
tho uose-led Democracy, wc gave them
authority of such illustrious Democrats as
James Ruchanan and Ruchanan's Sccrc
tary, Floyd. Wc gave below an extract
of President Ruchanan's message to Con
tcss, January Sth. 1S01, as follows:
"la scleral States icliich Imcc not yet
sccciteJ, the arts, arsenals and magazines
or flic United Xt:les have been seize,!.
This is by far the most serious step which
has been taken f-incc the commencement
of troubles. This public property has
long been left without garrisons and
troops for its protection, because no pcr
sou doubted its security uuder thc flag of
the eountrv in env State of the Union.
Resides, one small army had been suffici
cnt to guard our remote frou tiers against
I"nri;:in inenrsiniw. The seizure of this
Trnnevtv. from all apncaranccs, has been
nurelv a"-"TCssivc and not in resistance to
any attempt to coerce a State or States to
remain in thc Union."
There you have thc authority of the
Democratic i'residcnt ot aggressive sciz
ure vvar operations against thc United
States acts belligerent and treasonable.
Now take thc tcstiruoacy of another
good Democratic witness thc thief Floyd,
Ruchanan's Secretary of W ar. W hen
instructing Audcrcon, at Charleston,
part of Floyd's order was thus :
u The smallncss of your force wilLnot
permit you perhaps, to occupy more than
one ol : lbrcc pr ono of them will
t.iVe rose.-5sion ol eiLlicr one oi iiicm win
take possession of cither one of them will
be regarded as an act of hostility, and yoa
may then put your command iuto cither
of which you may deem most proper to
lucrcasc its power of resistance.
Schuyler Colfax said in 1SG1: "I will
lay dowu three facts here, the truth of
