'All persons who ore ' Indebted ' to tbo
American office for subscriptions, adverti
sing or job work, are respectfully but earn
estly requested to make payment without
delay. A considerable amount of money, in
small sums, bas accumulated upon our books,
and to the receipt of which we must look
for tbo means to defray the necessary ex
penses of our business, at this time more
than ordinarily heavy. We desire, as fur as
posiblc, to meet all our obligations in cash,
and to do tbiB, must call upon our custo
mers for prompt cash payments. Long and
unreasonable credits are the millstones
which hang around the necks of all printers,
and greatly impede tbo realization of the
fruits of their industry. 1 hey might easily
be relieved from these dead weights, If thoir
customers would be less negligent in paying
up their dues. As the beginning of a New
Year is tbo best time to wipe out old scores,
and make a fresh start, we hnpo that all
who owe us will settle what they owe, and
thus enable us to do likewise.

tariff of rates to govern each company.

Tlie Democracy 4J-I tine Heady t'ov
Work Mr. Wallace Want the
l'guret.
The following circular, is like Grant's
celebrated letter to Johnson, marked "pri
cute. It was handed to us by a Democartic
friend, who believes we have the largest
circulation of any daily newspaper published
in this part of Pennsylvania, and is there
fore anxious to have it published in the
State Guard, that the people may sec
how active Mr. Wallace is in behalf of his
party. William's solicitude is certainly
commendable. His liberality, too, is not to
be sneezed at. Just think of Mr. Wallace
offering to pay not only for the taking of a
census of Democrats, but to defray the ex
penses of naturalizing every foreigner in
Pennsylvania who is ready for enfranchise
ment. Tho whole offer shows enterprise.
But, badinage aside, wo cannot refrain from
reminding the Democracy of Pennsylvania
that not even a secret circular will enable
them to get control of the polls at the next
Presidential election. It only proves, when
Mr. Wallace goes to work this early, that
be has a desparnte game in band, and that,
to carry out his political schemes, every ap
pliance usual in corrupt political dealing is
to be resorted to :
We leave our readers to peruse Mr. Wal
lace's circulur at leisure :
Circular 1, ISC8. private,
Democratic Stats Committee Rooms,
.Clearfield, Pa., Dec, 10,1807.
Dear Sir : The Spring Elections are ap
proaching, and it is of vital importance to
us, in the great contest now pending, that
we should secure in every locality, our
jub Bbare of the Election OrHccre ; Judges,
luspectors, Assessors and Constables. I
write, to call your especial attention to this
subject. I need not attempt to demonstrate
its importance, all appreciate it. Let me
beg that you and your Committee will give
this subject prompt and earnest attention.
Regard it as a business matter, and act ac
cordingly. Arouse oukfries is evkuy
district; show them how powerful this
weapon is, when effectually used. Use tiie
necessary means to curry ecery sure and
doubtful district for us. Where we are
in a minority, place a man of high character,
well-formed and courageous, on the Board,
as our Inspector : in such districts, bee
that our very best men are selected.
It is a great error to fill such places with
weak men.
Lists of doubtful men, and those who
voted with us in 1867, for the first time,
with their townships and post offices, can be
made very useful. Furnish me all of these
that you can obtain.
There are a great many aliuns, ready fnr
naturalization, throughout the State; all
must be naturalized. Your labors and mine
will be lessened, if you will obtain their
names and residences ut an early day, and
give me the total number in your county,
with the probable cost of naturalizing them.
In arranging for your Spring Elections,
you can obtain this information with com
parative ease.
. If you have not already furnished me with
the names and post office address of two ac
tivo Democrats in each election district in
your county, I will be obliged if you will do
no. Very respectfully, yours,
WILLIAM A. WALLACE,
Chairman.
