I Cfte &tmbttrg American, H. B. MA8BER, EdK Proprlator. SATURDAY, ;OCTODER 20, 1868. EON. attOEOB r. MILLER. Tb Congressional return judges of the Fourteenth District met at Lewisburg, od Monday last. The vote for the district foots up as follows : Miller, R., 14,100 Bower, 1)., 12.G75 MfUcr's tnujoritv, 1,815 Mr. Miller's tnnjority in this district in 1864 was between five and sis hundred. This largely increwed majority shows very conclusively not only that Mr Miller's courso was acceptable to the electors of this district, Jnt that the policy of Congress, which Mr. Miller supported, meets with the approba tion of his constituents. If it wero otherwise we should have but little hope of the per mnnencv of our Republican institution. It was simply a contest whether the judgement of one man, and he the Executive, should evcrrulo the judgment of 100 men, (many of them his superiors,) who are supposed to represent the wishes of the people. If the Johnson policy was right, then is Democracy and a representative government a farce. IW The Borough of Shamokin polled, at the recent election, 825 votes, which, the Herald thinks, untitles it to rank as the lar gest as well as tho youngest borough in the county. Shamokin certainly did well, but the vote of Sunbury ran up to 842, while the register shows that there are not less than 030 votes in the borough. Milton polled 429, and Northumberland 842, the latter a handsome increase. , Sunbury, it will be seen, polled tbe largest vote in tho county, and intends to keep at the head of the list. If any of our neighbors design to take the lead, they will have to be unusually smart. Sha mokin deserves a premium for the largest Republican majority, which is 281, in Sunbury, 140, Milton, 143. 5grSoME one having observed the length ened visage of our neighbor of the Democrat, tho other day, inquired into the cause, and found that he hud not been supplied with a free pass for Salt River. Won't some con siderate Republican send neighbor Purdy a ticket T He only asks for ono for himself. His nigger, he says, bas become too large and unmanageable to take along, besides being demoralized by the Republicans. He intends, therefore, before his departure, to box him up and send him to Judge Kcllcy, of Philadelphia. IWJons Van Beit ex, Esq. The New York papers announce tho death of this gifted, but somewhat eccentric politician, who died on his way from England, ou board the steamer, aged about 80 years. During the Presidency of his father, he visi ted England, and received marked attention at the Court of Queen Victoria, from which circumstance he was called Princo John. He was a polished gentleman of superior abilities, with a vast fund of wit and humor. Wc never listened to a more entertaining Bpenker, in a promiscuous assembly, than John Vau Burcn. fWm Some of the Cops complain bitterly of Johnson's policy, but especially of his speeches on his Chicago tour, which, they now allege, were not only foolish ana undig nified, but disgraceful, and bad ruined the party. Some of tbe prominent Johnson men, on the other hand, denounce the Copper heads, and say tbe lato victory was not an endorsement of the radical policy of Con gress, but a blow which will crush the Cop perheads forever. These seutiments are freely expressed since the election, by the Cops and Johnson men. 5T" Cuolkua. Considerable alarm ex isted in Philadelphia, last week, caused by a sudden increase of the cholera, which was not confined to any particular locality, but was found in some of the cleanliest and best parts of the city. The uumber of deaths by cholera, last week, as reported by the board of health, was 127. We have heard of iso lated cases in the ountry. One of these oc curred in Lock Haven, and one was reported at Georgetown, in this county. I3f Election Retiuikb. The returns, as published by us last week, foot up Clymcr's tnnjority, in this county, as 448. The true majority is 408. The error occurred in call ing out Delaware as 223 for Geary, when it was only 203. The figures had been par tially erased, but not sufficiently to prevent its being read over as 33, by the clerk, at the time. fcj?TnE Co.NGUKBHIONAl, ELECTIONS.

Geary' election as Governor of Pennsylvania, the "Boys in Blue", of liar risburg, formed e procession and proceeded to the Jones House, for the purpose of sere nading bira. When the band had ' ceased playing, Gen. Geary, who was loudly called for, appeared and responded to the compli ment in the following address : Fellow-chubs r Ae the candidate and representative of the triumphant Union Ro your congratulations, ancr return you my sincere thanks for this greeting. Itisindeed a noble victory we have achieved. We can not too fervently and too repeotcdly offer thanks to Almighty God for this new evi dence of His presence in the midst of our national difficulties. The same hand that gulled us through the sufferings and death of a causeless rebellion has led safely through a new and even moro tiumendous peril. The intelligence ot the terrible over throw of treason in Pennsylvania the sub lime civic sequel to the crowning victory of Gettysburg the secoua ana coat surrenuer of the Rebel sympathizers, will forever and luatlv settle many disputed Questions. It permanently establishes the luct that the Government of the United States is vested in tbe American people, and in their repre sentatives in Congress assembled, and not in a corrupt Executive. And upon this strong and granite foundation we shall now proceed to iortily agamBt tbe inroads or time ana tbe attacks of treason, the following truths and convenaDts . "That the Government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth. "Thnt cruel and revengeful traitors, de feated in battle, shall not be restored to ruin the country they attempted to destroy. "That when our forefathers declared man capable ot self-government, they rejected the heresy of human Slavery, and pledged equal political rights to all tueir successors. "That hereafter the citizen represented in the State and National Legislature must be clothed with tbe rights of citizenship. "That all the agencies of the Government, civil and military, must be pcrseveringly and sternly exercised to protect, vindicate, and, if needs be, avenge our oppressed brothers in tho South against the savage persecutions of Rebels who arc stilt so impenitent and defiant that even Andrew Johnson fears to pardon them. "That this obligation is as sacred as that which mado the Roman citizen strong and respected all over the world, and which stimulates the British Government to-day to defend British subjects against oppression and persecution, however remote and how ever remorseless ; that as we must choose between those who will not yield to the conquerors' terms in tho recent insurgent States and those who have fought steadily for tho Government and pray lor its protec lion, we gladly prefer the men who offered their lives for the flag to those who continue to scorn ana trample upon it." The deteat of the sympathizers with trea son, and the overthrow of an abandoned and ungrateful Executive in Pennsylvania, opens the whole Southern country to the progres sive pcoplo of the North, with their ten thousand intellectual and clevut ing agencies, and better than this it secures to the resident loyalists, white and black, those natural and civil rights pledged in tho Declaration of Independence and secured by the laws oi trie land. W bat rennsylvaninn, who contributed to the resplendent majority we contemplate with bucIi gratitude and joy to-night, will not feel proud that to his vote and to bis energy mankind is indebted for these price less blessinas. Having fortified these great truths against all future dangers, it is for us of Pennsylvania to maintain the forward position we have so proudly won. The re sult proves that an intelligent people cannot be driven away lrom principle by appeals to prejudice. But it fixes the fact that more thun all thnt profligacy and proscription in high places serve to arouse popular indigna tion, ana to strengthen popular convictions, Mo tyrant in any age not even that of ISero, wnoso intainy is written in tho immortal pages of Scutonius, ever descended so low in bis enorts to debauch or reached so high in his efforts to destroy, as Andrew Johnson. Strong in the stolen power of a betrayed people, be stretched forth bis arm, parulyz ng where lie could not purchase, ana scourp- ing where be could not subdue. Our State was converted into a market-place, Where the offices of tbe pcoplo were proffered to hemselves as tho price ot their own tlecra dntion, and where honest opiniou was ostra cized and craven sycophaucy disgustingly rewarded. But thit attempt to restore the traitors of the South ami to retire the Copper head of the Xorlh hat proved to be a (luhanitm to brief that hit failure hat consigned both to a deeper death and to a darter grace than that they occupied before. I he (Jommonweulth that has resisted and defied such bribes and such brutalities may well claim the proud title of being the I or tress ot American tree dom. But as I speak to you I ieel that we are not alone entitled to the laurels of trans cendant triumph. Indiana and Ohio com plete the triumvirate as they compete lor the palm. J.et us share it with them as those who won the immortal batt'es against re bellion shared equally tbe dangers and the honors of the conflict. Now that we have done our duty, it will bo easy for others to follow easy, let us hope, for Maryluud to hold tho position bo bravely and so bloodily won during the war, aud now sought to be torn trom her by returned rebels and pen' sioncd mercenaries ; easy for Tennessee to retain and rivet the splendid post -she has captured from a double treason ; easy for De.awaro to cut loose from tbe preiudices under which she has groaned so long; easy for Missouri to add another puge to her crimsoned yet immortal record ; and, above all, easy for the patriots of the South to compel obedience to the last generous prof fer of the American people in t lie new amend' meut of the .National Constitution Tbe I.cimioii or October.

Wa would call attention to tbt opinion of on of tht leading papers of Canada on this subject : Most of our readers have, no doubt, read some of tht numerous advertisements of Gift Enterprises, Gift Concerts, Ac, which appear from lime to time in the public prints, offering most tempting bargains to those who will patronise them. In most oases these are genuine humbugs. But thert art a few respectable firms who do business in this manner, and they do it as a means of increasing their whole sale business, and not to make money. From such firms, it is true, handsome and valuable articles art procured for a very small sum. and what is more Important, ao one is ever cheated. Every person get good raluo for his dollar ; because, as wa hare stated, it is intended to act at an advertisement to increase their ordinary business. We hart teen numbers of prises tent out in this way by Susan, Watsoh Cohi-any, of Nassau Street, N. T., and thert is no doubt that soma of tht articles are worth eight or ten times the money paid for them, while we have not seen or beard of a single artiole wbioh was net fully worth tht dollar which it cost. But this is only ont of the exceptions of this rule, for as a general thing tbe parties engaged in this business art nothing but clever swindlers. Saturday Header, Montreal, C. E., Jan. 13, 1U66.)
