THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1S73.
WITH SUPPLEMENT.
VOTE for the New Constitution yourself,
anil when you go to the polls hitch up your
team and take your neighbor with you.
Voters of Slonroc Comity.
On Tuesday next you will be called upon
to cast your ballots for or against the adop
tion of the New Constitution. A more im
portant election has never demanded the
attention of a people, and if you fail to
meet it in the proper spirit you will but
little deserve the name or privileges of free
men. The fundamental law of your State
is proposed to be altered. The provisions of
the old foundation having proved futile in
securing good for the whole people, and ex
perience having established the fact that
while they may be made means for the ad
vancement of your interests and happiness,
they may just as easih be made a means for
your robbing and for your enchainment in
ilv- nnst alject slavery, it is proposed to
alter this, and to substitute for the old a
nfw Constitution so carefully worded that
no loop holes will be left through which
rings and ring satellites can steal at pleasure,
and fasten their corrupt claws upon the
prosperity which should always be the birth
right and good fortune" of a free people.
The convention lias done its work well ; so
well that the arguments employed to defeat
that work are only and wholly imaginative.
They have neither tangibility nor reason in
them, for they only war against the stubborn
fact that every word and every line framed
ly the convention tends to protect you in
your every right, and to secure for the State
exemption from the inroads of the hordes
of vampires who have fattened at the
expense of your prosperity, and at the
the expense of the treasury which they have
so viliianousK' robbed.
VOTERSOF MONROE COUNTY, the
question for decision on Tuesday next is not
one of partizan politics. The platform is
-comprehensive enough to sustain every shade
of political opinion, and on it the greatest
antipodes in polities can stand side by"side
as brothers, and d so stand to-day. It is a
platform of honesty, looking only to the
ool of the people, and it is ouly for the
dishonest rogues who have fattened at the
cspcn.se of your prosperity that no room can
he found upon it. You have had the in
strument placed before you three weeks suc
cessively. Its language is so plain that he
who runs miy read and understand. That
you have real it we feel assured, and that
3-011 will vote for it there is no possible room
i'ir doubt.
VOTERS OF MONROE COUNTY, do
you longer wish to live under the reproach
i h it the Legislature of Pennsylvania is but
the creature of lobbyists and log rollers, and
the most corrupt legislative body inexistance?
If not, then vote for the new cos
ktitutio.W Its provisions arc so strong
tint the occupation of the lobbicst will
Irt annihilated, the purchase of legisla
tors impossible, and. honesty must prove the
only safe policy for those who desire to serve
he people.
VOTERS OF MONROE COUNTY, do
you desire that punishment for crime shall
be nromr.t and efieetual f then VOTE FOR.
THE NEW constitution, for by it the par
doning power is limited, and so shielded that
hardened criminals will hardly be let loose
upon the public save by expiration of term
of fontence.
VOTERS OF MONROE COUNTY, do
you desire the settlement of your disagree
ments with each other to be secured with less
waste of time and means? Then VOTE for
the NE'.v constitution, for it provides a
way in a more effective Judiciary to bring
about this desirable end, in smaller districts,
and with less embarrassment to him to whom
you confide the safety of your lives, persons
and properties.
VOTERS OF MONROE COUNTY, do
ycu desire that your choice of public servants
should be respected in an honest election ?
Then vote fou the new constitution,
for the change pf the day to the dull month
of November will secure ample time for all
to attend at the polls, and the restrictive and
plenary provisions of the sections relating to
elections will make fraud, in every shape an
utter impossibilitj'. For the 'provisions re
lating to legislation and elections alone the
New Constitution deserves the hearty sup
port of every voier.
VOTERS OF MONROE COUNTY, do
you desire the limitation of the grasping and
corrupting powers of corporation.?. Then
vote Foa the new constitution, for the
provisions relating to these are such as will
prevent the bartering away cf j'our rights.
and will effectually put an end to the dis
criminations and favoritism which have here
tofore acted so bancfully to trade, and to
the best interests of the laboring man, the
mechanic, the farmer, the manufacturer and
the merchant. Hitherto, for jrears the peo
ple have been the slaves of the corporations;
hereafter the people can be masters if they
will it so. Is this your desire? Then vote
for the New Constitution.
VOTERS OF MONROE COUNTY, we
might fill our paper with reasons why you
should VOTE FOK THE NEW CONSTITUTION,
but wherefore. We know that, whether a
Democrat or Republican, jour minds and
determination are for reform, and that you
will do your might fur the eradication cf cor
ruption, by entering, wholesouled, upoti this
new departure, not for uncertainty in the
future, but for a renewal of the honest days
when men were entrusted with office not be
cause they were ring-rulers and lackeys, but
iconise they were honest, capable and true.
JCST'The Scranton Republican reached us
last week, looking smiling and happy, in an
entire new dress. The Republican is always
a good paper, and we are glad to see this
indication of the continued enterprise of the
publisher, and of its appreciation by the
public.
For the first time in years the National
House of Representatives, which assem
bled at Washington, on 1st inst., is a new
body. The members of the last House
who are re elected uumbcr 122, and the
list embraces many who are certainly
amonjr the best-iuformed of our lcisla
tors. Of the remaining 170 newly elec
ted members, 13 hare been members of
preceding IIoucs, and not more than a
dozen otherB bear name recognized by
the country at large. It is fair at least
to assert that there are 150 members who
are altogether inexperienced in national
legislation. Hence it will be nothing
more than fair and proper for the press
everywhere to think of that body in enn
nection with' this fact, and to abstain from
loading it dowu in advance with the er
rors and shortcomings of the last Con
gress ; since whatever individual mem
bers may have to answer for it is not,
as a body, responsible for cither the one
or the other. It should be treated as an
organization which has its record to make
and all censorious ciiticisru should be
withheld until it shall have compromised
itself by its own acts which it is sincere
ly to be hoped it will not do.
The Decree of t!ic Supreme
Court TJac People's Duty.
The Supreme Court, a few days ago, deci
led that the Constitutional Convention
overstepped its bounds when it decreed an
interference with the regular manner of hold
ing the elections in Philadelphia, at which
the adoption or rejection of it3 work is to be
voted upon by the people. A3 the object of
the Convention, in passing the ordinance,
was solely to secure a fair election at which
coliuization, repeating and ballot-box stuffing
was to be surely prevented we regret the
decision, but the law stands paramount to
mere desire, and of course the action of the
Supreme Court, which was unanimous,
must be received with respect.
As past experience proves how little regard
is paid to right, when victory is the object in
all city elections, it behoves the country to
come up to the work on the ICth with a wil
and determination that nothing shall be lost
throueh its neglect. The indications all arc
that the majority of those who favor the new
Constitution is overwhelming, but this
majority will be of but little avail towards its
adoption, unless every man feels as though
all depends on his vote and acts accordingly
A majority of a hundred thousand counts as
nothing, if the voters comprizing that major
ity remain at home, or go to the election but
allow their neighbors who would vote with
them to remain at home. In the cities,
where by the adoption of the new Constitu
tion, ring rule and ring peculation wiil le,
gloriously for the people, interfered with,
every purchasable voter will be out both to vote
himself and to prevent honest men fron
voting ; and with such a3 these in control c
the ballot-boxes, majorities wiil be manipula
ted from minorities way up into thousands
if necessary to carry the day against right
and good government. This is the confessed
experience of the past, and it can only be
neutrulizc-d in the present contest, by a firm
resolve on the part of voters in the country
to act and vote for themselves.
There is nothing now to prevent a full turn
out in every township of every county in the
State no buckwheat tobe'treshed no busi
ness that wiil be interfered with by giving
cne day to the active performance of every
man's duty a.s a freeman. We hope, there
fore, that the heaviest vote ever polled in
Monroe county will be polled on Tuesday
nest, and that Democrats and Republicans,
united in thedctermination of securing reform
in the government,will vie with each other on
that day and see which can bring the most
votes to the polls for the Constitution.
The decision of the Supreme Court has
opened the flood gates of corruption in the
cities: let us of the country see if we cannot
dam up the evil which promises to flow
therefrom. We can if we will.
Re-Union Festival tn Salem's Chuucii,
Chestnuthill, MoNiiOE county, Pa., on
the First Christmas Day, December
25th. At the suggestion of many of the
members of Salem's congregation, in Chest
nuthill township, Monroe count'. Pa., a

dren, for their presence on this interesting

The December term of our Courts will
begiu a week from Monday, and continue
two weeks. Among the criminal business
will be the trial of Timothy Heller for the
murder of the MulHej' boy.
The spirit of enterprise appears tohave de
parted from our merchants and shop-keepers.
Doubtless they all desire a rush of trade dur
ing the holiday season, but none of them
appear to know how to get it A judicious
use of printers ink is what brings in the dol
lars, gentlemen.
In printing the advertisement for the ball
-at Forks' Station, last week, the compositor
inadvertantly made it to come off on Christ
mas eve. Christmas night is the time fixed
for the ball, and we need hardly say that
mine-host Smith will do all in his power to
make the occasion a pleasant one to all who
attend.
IT has been objected against the New Con
-
stitution that by doubliug the number of
representatives, the legislative expenses will
be doubled. Voter, be led by no such sub
terfuge. The elections and sessions come
only once in two years, instead of every year
as heretofore, so that the expenses cannot be
increased.
Moses Washington and Edward Quacco,
a couple of our spirit-wl colored gentlemen,
enjoyed a sojourn of several days at Hotel
de Troch, reeentty. They were arrested for
disturbing the services at the A. M. E
Church, on Thursday and Friday evening
last, but arc now out on bail awaiting their
trial at Court
Five neat acd substantial residences are
in course of erection, all within the distance
of a gunshot, on Academy hill. They wil
greatly improve the appearance of that por

that notwithstanding the "hard times,
there are more buildings being, and to be,
erected in Stroudsburg this winter than for
years before in tlse same season.

IIoo Stolen. -The Messrs Palmer Bros,
butchered a cumber of hogs for customers
on Tuosdaj-, and left one of them, which was
not quite cold enough to be taken in
hanging on the scaffold, under charge of a
watchman. During the night some hungry
customer', thinking more of their stomachs
than the offended law, cut the porker down
and carried it off. No clue has 3-et been dis
covered to the thieves. The watchman slept
soundly. Look out for your pork.

Mr. Jacob Knecht and family have
become pleasantly settled in their neat new
residence, corner of Bark and George streets,
Uncle Jake's presence will be missed from
the "American," but the spirit of good wiil
remain there and under Lt Pisle's manage
ment the house will retain it3 well-earned
reputation of being one of the best places to
stop at in this whole region. Uncle Jacob
and family carry with them in their retire
ment the best wishes of a host of warm
friends.
The protracted meeting, in the Methods
Episcopal Church, at East Stroudsburg had
a steady continuance of thirteen weeks up to
last Friday evening, and is still progressing.
A large number, during the period have
professed tohave met a change of heart,
and have united with the church.
The protracted meeting in the M. E.
Church of this borough is also going on with
encouraging success. There was room for im
provement in both places.
The Borough Ordinance relative to coal
ashes on the streets, and snow on the pave
ments is a good one, but it will do no good
unless its provisions arc enforced. There
are quite a number of our citizens who
appear to have forgotten its require
ments, and the Street Committee should
jog their memories. Unless the ordinan
ces are to be enforced, there is no
use to waste the time erupted in pass
ing them. Home brilliant examples might
be made on almost any day.
.
Severe Accident. Mr. Dt nid Staples,
a resident of this borough, met with a ecvere
accident at Succasunna Plains, N. J., on
the morning of the 2d inst. lie was engaged
in putting on a slate roof, when a ladder on
which he was standing, slipped, nnd ho was
thrown violently to the ground, a distance of
some twenty-four feet. His body and legs
were badly jammed, aud he received a severe
cut above the loft eye. Ho was brought
home the same da' and is recovering slowly,
but suffers much pain from his hurts.
The Town Council Outwitted. With
all their efforts to secure the paving of a lot
in the west end of the town, the Borough
Fathers have allowed the winter to set in
upon us without enforcing the law, and mak
ing the owners pave. Pedestrians, there
fore, will have to keep their eyes open at
night, or they may do themselves great
injury by stubbing against scraggy pieces of
plank laid for a walk, but worn out and
changed into a man trap. If on the south
side the street, look out for mud. These
things must be endured another winter.

The SSodcra:: Tournament.
In Virzinia. Maryland, and a few Southern
counties of Pennsylvania, ome of the people
find amusement once a year at tournaments.
During the age of chivalry knight was accus
tomed to meet knight in mock combat at tour
naments. In many instances feelings of enmity
were created between ambitious knights, who
would Batisfy their hatred by slaying their op
ponents. The tournament cf the nineteenth
century is also pervaded with the ppirit of
corabativenes-s: but it is not ah institution de
signed to facilitate the acquirement cf skill
which knighU may apply in destroying each
other.
Not long since I witnessed a tournament at
Gettysburg, Pa. At least a thousand people
were assembled on -the fair ground, at the abovp
named place, to witness the feats of the chiv
alric sons of Adams county. At the proper
time the competitors for the honors of the day
came riding forth in splendid array. The
highest honor at the modren tournament is
awarded to the knight who takes off a suspen
ded ring with a spear, while riding at full speed
on horse back, the greatest number of times.
Little enthusiasm was manifested on the part
of the spectators; but the actora seemed to be
interested in their contest for the honor of chief
knight. To me this performance was a novelty
The performers presented a fine apperance in
their rich suits of velvet, as they gracefully
rode, each one with a spear in his steady right
hand toward the mark. "Whenever the rin
was taken off, the crowd would fully applaud;
whenever the ring was missed rauttc-rings, ex
pressing the regrets that fome youthful hero
was so unfortunate as to miss the mark, would
be heard from excitable damsel who were per
sonally interested in the combatant After
contesting two hours the first part of these
novel exercises closed ; the highest honor hav
ing been won by a fat young fellow whose
homely appearance, when close to him, seemed
to terrify some of the ladies.
A platform was tastefully arranged for the
orator of the occasion, the queen and maid of
honor; for, the chief knight was permitted to
choose from among the crowd, a young lady
whom he would crown queen. Well, thi
fat young fellow of whom I have spoken, re
ceived five refusals. But he despaired not; and
with all the politeness at his command, asked
the sixth young lady if he might have the
honor of crowning her queen of this festal day
She without much hesitancy condescended
Then the second, third, and fourth knights.
with their maids of honor, the first intrepid
knight with his fair queen and the orator took
their places on the platform. The defeated
knights remaining mounted, formed in line in
front of the platform where they could have an
unobstructed view of the crowning ceremony.
It was necessary for the champion's lady to
remove her hat before she could be crowned
This, however, proved an embarrassing aflair.
for, the lady, I presume, became so excited on
the occasion of promotion from a plebeian
condition to the position of a lofty queen, that
she had entirely forgotten the significant fact
that her flaxen hair was still done up in papers
Poor thing 1 there she was before a titterin
crowd. It was enough to make cne smile to
see the young lady'a method of curling her
hair publiclv shown. She was Foniewhat
uneasy as the crown was carefully placed amon
the kr.oU and horns of her hair. The closin
exercise was an oration delivered by a youn
man of Gettysburg. He proclaimed in glow
inrr language the cause of chivalry. ITctacitlv
assumed if not expressed that it would contri
bute to the enlightenment of the nineteenth
century, if talent and genius were everywher
united in the revival of the spirit of chivalry
The orator contended that the highest achieve
ment of a worthy ambition at the present day
as in the medieval ages, should be to win the
hand and heart of a f.iir lady ; and that the
place to accomplish this is at the tournament
I admit that it is a laudable thing to obtai
honor for the sake of woman; but emphatically
dissent from the opinon that the tournament is
the place where noble woman can receive " the
proper acknowledgement of her virtues by be
ing chosen queen by some man who has only
excelled in a simple trial of physical skill.
On leaving this place of amusement I came
to the conclusion that the modern tournament
hi a tame affair
morality.
even if it is tinged with
Halifax.
THE man who stays away from the polls

A Man Missing Our neighborhood has
been excited, for a week past, over a man
named James Honey, who has been missing
from his home since the 2Sth November
last On that day Honey, who works, at
the Lime Quarries near Bell's Bridge came
to Stroudsburg to transact some business,
and while here got 011 a spreo with some
friends. At 5 p. m., he attempted to get on
the Omnibuss to go home, but missed his
foot hold and fell in the mud. lie then in
the muddle of his intoxication crossed the
iron bridge opposite the Washington Hotel
and started for home oa foot, but took the
wrong road and passed down the creek. A
short distance below Mrs. Staples residence
he fell upon the ice in the mud, where lie
was discovered by a son of Mrs. S. who
helped him on his feet and directed him on
his right course for home. lie paid no heed
to young Staples, but went on down the
road. It is said that ho was afterwards seen
nearly opposite the forge cut leaning against
the fence with a basket on his arm. Since
then daily search has been made for him but
without avail. The probabilities are that he
wandered into the creek and was drowned.
Boney is of Irish decent, is 35 year3 of age
5 feet 10 inches high and weighs about 170
pounds. Any information concerning him
will be thankfully received by his heart
stricken wife Mary Honey, at the Delaware
Water Gap, who with her four children arc
in destitute circumstances.
Twenty five years ago Henry Yealey,
of Lebanon county, left his hounj for uo
