Tue Reformation or Conversion of the Democratic Tarty. A Rich moud paper says, that "every Democrat who votes for Greeley makes a frank con fession of his h'ids, ntiit takes the first step 'towards repentance." The world has nev er witnessed a more sudden and general icon version of a largo body of people from darkness into light, Mauy of them, it is 'true, are not capable of discriminating bc ttwecn principles and tactics, and follow tthcir leaders into Republicanism at the wot 0 of command.

The conversion of the Democratic parly will be an epoch in the political his tory orithe world, and Horace Greeley may 1e Citncnised and occupy as important a position -ira the ealunder of Saints as Saint Patrick. SVliy should lie tiol? The con version of so large a body of sinners who thus trofisteft'.y make an humble and peuitcut confession -of their sins aud transgressions thai have Accumulated for several genera lUiotis, is eao of the remarkable events of this century. Let no Republican trouble himself with vain regrets at this circum stance, but rather rejoice. If the conver sion is not complete, it is nevertheless a vast stride in the right direction. The creed promulgated at Cincinnati uud adopt 1 by the Democrats at Baltimore, differ little or nothing, in substance from the true oroed or platform of principles adopted by the Republicans at 1'hiiadelphia. Those who but a few months since rejoiced iu be longing to the "while man's party" will hide their diminished heads, and no lougcr hold up the "nigger" as an insuperable barrier in the progress of Democracy. The very first article of tiieir new creed com pels the Democrat to take the deepiscd aud much reviled uegro to his bosom. No true Greeley Democrat can avoid the inevitable embrace "Nigger."

In a short time the political campaign iu this county will be-fairly opened, and as every voter is greatly Interested, all should secure a good reliable paper to bo correct ly informed of the issues before the people. In order to accomplish the introduction of pupils into families who are not lakinc any newspaper whatever, we propose to give the "American" from this date to December 1st, 1872, for the low price of 60 cents, in advance. We hope that at such a low late every Republican iu the county will cxt rt himself in hit district, and aid in circulating the "American" in every family.

Thfl D. rnocralic leaders who have sold out to the Dolly Vardcn pnrly, are'making strenuous efforts to get converts to join them In the opposition to Gen. Grant.' Anything to "beat Grant, is their motto. . Hut they as sign no reasons why Grant should bo beat en. Is it because he is paying ofl tho pub lic debt which these same leaders Were in strumental in creating, oris it because he administers tho affairs of our government in the true and correct spirit of an Amer ican cltiteu? Certainly it cannot be on ac count that he is favorable, and is carrying out Republican principles, or that ho was favorable to the lfjlli amendment, for all these principles have been endorsed by the Democratic Convention in creeling their plat form. When we hear these parties de nouncing Grant without giving a reason, we often wonder why they will support a man like Greeley who lias been ten tlmos more radical than Grant ! Their opposi tion Is certainly not founded nuon consist ency, aud if Mr. Greeley should bo elected is there any guarantee for any improve ment ; and if so, in what respect? Do these disaffectants support Mr. Greeley with the expectation that he will turn his back to his life long principles and advocate tho Democratic principles to which he has becu its greatest autnpooist? Or has Mr. Greeicy given his consent, becauso his as piratious arc for tho Presidency, that ho will givo his administration over to tho corrupt sorc-hnnds who call themselves Re formers, to control it? Under either case, is it reasonable to suppose that any think- j ing man enn support him in preference to Grant? Can it bo supposed that he would , be (rue to any party or pledge when it is known he is an adherent ton dozen of i i3tns ? The question will arise in ea'ery honest man's heart, had wo not better let good enough alone and uot swop horses while crossing the stream? We kuow what Grant will do, but wc cannot for a mo ment entertain any idea what Greeley's course would be, or what he would do ; whether he would support the true Demo cratic principles ; Republican principles, or Mrs. Woodhulls' woman's rights princi ples. Having managed to enlist nil the small parlies and having broken up the Democratic party and wiped it out of ex istence, in order to reach the Presidential chair which he lias coveted for a number of years, it is not likely that any voter who feels like seeing this government coutinucd in its present prosperity and high standing among the nation's of the earth, that they will give their support to one who specu lates merely to get ofllee, in preference to the one who has been tried both in war and peace, and whose courso iu guiding tho ship of State is to do good to the greatest number, both rich and poor, high and low, whose highest ambition is to do justice to all. Though every effort will be mndo io create enthusiasm for tho Chappaqua Parmer, by the malcontents, those whoaro content with their lot and do uot vote for the sake of procuring ofllee alone, but for the best interests of their couuty, will be lieve as we do, that the man who so uobly sustains the interests of this couutry, who has been tried uud not found wanting, is the man to bo supported for re-election for another term as President of these United States. It is so common with some Democratic editors to deceive their readers that they can scarcely stale facts in anything that docs not favor their party. la the Selins- i grove Times, cf tho 12th hist., we find an article, intended to reflect upon the Presi dent of the Labor Reform Party as well as upon the lion. S. Cameron, which liko-ma-ny other paragraphs lu that paper, is in tended to mislead and convey an erro neous idea. It is as follows : "James C. Svlvis, of Sunburv. is Presi dent of tho Labor Reform Party in Penn sylvania. The party he represents bears a very appropriate title, out the followers are very few. Not because the Democracy v.uum not consent to court this taction, Mr. Sylvia has become soured in hisfeclinzs and, iu u letter to the Sunbury American, has declared it to be his duty and the duty of his parly to boc .solidly fur Grunt. The Atitiirtivtti Jionttur, tho organ of the .Labor Kelormers, however declares in favor ot Greeley and Brown and will support them. One siuilicant fact in the publication of the letter of Mr. Sylvis, is that it appeared only two days after tho 4th of Julv, on which occasion Simon Cameron ruado.n visit to said town to take part ia the cen tennial celebration. Can any oua tell what utlueiice the visit of Mi. Cameron to Sun bury had upon Mr. .Sylvis V' All who rend this paper, have seen that the letter of Mr. Sylvis referred to, was not written for the .Iwiericaii, but that it was addressed to the Anthracite Monitor, dated June 14, 1872, from which paper it was copied iulo Ihe American, with the date, viz : June 14, aud credited to the Monitor. We do uol know what motive the editor of the limes basin thus deliberately publish- ng a falsehood and deceiving his readers, unless ho in Lends ti try to force the Labor Reform Party, whose influence ho has courted for n number of years, to accom pany him in tho Dolly Varden party that has swallowed up his own party. The La bor Reform Party has ucver been the most favorable to this paper on account of its frank and open opposition to a part of their platform, and we doubt whether the Presi dent of that party ever had any idea that his letter would ever rcceivo tho least no tice. It was inserted as matter of news aud since that party has assumed an inde pendent course and refuses to bo sold out with the Democratic party, after aiding them for some five years past, on pledges that they should receive their support when the party became fully developed, it looks vcrv Unsraleful indeed to &ra Hu m WieltoH And culled instead of receiving thanks for their services, from a puny they faithfully acneu, uu uuieirui occasions.

We find that tho same tricks of deception that were formerly practiced in the old Demo cratic party aro being followed np in the Dolly Varden.. Democracy, and many of our coicmporaries aro greatly hoaxed by dispatches sent to them from interested parties who expect to exert some influenco abroad though they have none at home. One of these dispatches was palmed off on the Philadelphia rout a few days ago, as .follows J (Special to the Post Greeley In Northumberland Count? Watsontown, July 15. Everything ablare for the Liberal Demo cratic ticket in NorthtiTberland county. In Watsontown, Milton, Sunbury and other sections of the county, the lending Republicans disgusted with tho present administration are fast declaring In favor of the honest old farmer. From present indications 1000 to 1C00 mniorily may be expected in this county for Greeley and Brown. Democrats regard it as a return to the days of Jefferson, when Honesty and Capability wero the only qualification to bs possessed by thoso in authority. Victory. A more glaring falsehood than the above wo have not seen for a long time, as every honest man in tho county will testify. We havo probably just ns good an opportunity of knowing the political feeliugin the coun ty as "Victory" has, and we have not ns yet learned of any Republicans favoring tho Dolly Varden ticket. As for tho Do moctats we can count hundreds, who since their party has bceu abandoned, will sup port Grant in preference to the ticket form ed by their former leaders who have sold out and abandoned their much cherished principles. For nearly forty years Horace Greeley spent his time iu trying to prove the ex travagance nnd utter rottenness of the De mocratic party. Since ho succeeded in breaking up that party and became a can didate for the long wished Presidential chair, his paper, tho Tribune, has under taken the task of showing tho purity, econ omy nnd excellence of the Democratic or ganization. It has even been trying to prove that Andy Johnson spent less money in carrying on the Government than Gen. Grant. This does not show any too well for a candidate for the Presidency to say that he has labored for forty years in dark ness and now, in his dotage, has just awak ened to a realization that his labor was all wrong. If it took forty years in tho prime of life to find out whether he was pursuing the right course, how long would it tako him to find out in his dotage, if elected President, whether he renlly was right or wrong in conducting the offices of this gov ernment? Reqciescat in Pace. That veteran independent paper, the Germantown Tel cyrayh, in noticing tho Democratic Con vention at Baltimore and its work of ex tinguishing tho Democratic rarty, says : " It made no platform its principles aro all goue the Constitutional amendments extinguished them. Its whole programmo was jjeuce which means a jjifcf of tho Na tional patronage. The body of the party seems to keep together and to go over to the Liberal Republicans, as that oilers tho onlv chnnce of success. This surrender is complete, significant,! remarkable, aud will become lustori". 1 ho usual nppoiutment of a Democratic Na tional Committee was made, but since the adjournment of tho Convention it has fused with the Bo-called Liberal Republican Ex ecutive Committee, so that practically tliu party is extinct dono to death by civil war and emancipation, it closes by accept ing everything il ever had struggled against so vehemently, nnd sigualizes its fate by accepting the man who had written and worked through a wholo lifetime against it. and writing its epitaph iu the borrow ed platform which tells of its failures. H seeks a resurrection in a different shape and for diOercut purposes, but is compelled to take as its leaders the most conspicuous of its opponents. Organizations, even oi a local character, aro no lougcr called Demo-1 cratic. They assume to be Kelorni or L.io cral Republicans. Whatever the new conglomerate may do or achieve, the old one is certainly dead. It lias bceu in its ti.ue a governing power of so much importance that it will occupy uo small plnce in our history. It has doiie much good and much evil. We owe to it two wars, the Mexican aud the Rebellion. We owe to it free trade, financial chaos, jhs riodical revulsions iu trade, aud a popan diom of slavcrv and caste that divided tho whole Natiou into two hostile camps. Its records are written in our tremendous debt aud in the awful history of the scourges of 'slavery, terrorism aud wildcat banking. But we owe it also tho stupendous cinpiro conquered from Mexico, Ihe final settlement of our possession of the Oregon territory, progress in foreign commerce, and a vast agricultural iucrease. As a Nationel Par ty, therefore, its Iliad is written. It has lived its lime and done its work. It made the South great and prosperous at tho ex pense of freedom and humanity. It de veloped a race of of Southern statesmen who wero undoubtedly the most thorough ly educated and highly trained politicians tlio country has produced, nnd whose names will go down iu our history ns the types of American statesmanship. its History ueveiopeu a poucy oi nvm growth between the north and the south by keeping always an cquilbrium in the Senatorial strength of these two sections, so that in admitting new Stales, a free and a slave State always had to come in togeth er. This corapcliliou may and doubtless did do much to stimulate the National progress, but it produced a difference in character between the two sectious that finally led to civil war. The Democratic party was tho parent of the system of rep resentative conventions to make party nom inations and frame party platforms, which, with all its defects, was still a great ad vance on former plans and has had the in herent merit of developing local political life in a manner impossible under tho sys tem of caucus nominations. The great contest over slavery and caste was decided wholly and irrecoverably against the system upon which the Demo eratio party spent its life. Two other is sues to which it was devoted that between protection and free trade, and that be tween a paper curreucy and coin seem to bo settlod against it also. n nvu now had protection for eleven years and with such results as seem to render the remain der of the struggle unimportant. Paper curreucy has also reigued for the same time absolutely and been overwhelmingly popular. Thus tho Democratio party de part to the shades of oblivion with all iU old issues against it entirely. And yet as we have shown, its National life was not altogether fruitless. The independent treas ury still exists untouchsd as it created the system. But this is all." The nrico and demand for Pennsylvania iron hsve uot been so great since tho war 9 UVr Ai? awful Dosfc The Democracy is sick vcrj sick such awful faces we never saw before, after the nomination of Greeley and Drown at Baltimore, for President and Vice President. The mass turn away with loathing, wlrile a few remind, us of the Irishman, who was very dry. He culled at a store where he supposed he could get a drop of the cratnre, but they told him all the whisky they had was put Into a bottle in which they were preserving n tond, and if he desired it they could give him n little. Pat eyed tho whiskey and the toad, then shrugged his shoulders and said he was very dry for a little of the crature; then mado a terrible wry face, and said : "Bo jabcrs, I will take the tond, to get a little of the whisky." So it is with tho Demo cracy. Those who swallow Greeley will do it only to get a little of tho plunder, while the honest portion will say at once, if we must vote for a Republican, we prefer Grant, whom we have tried and who was a Democrat before the rebellion, nnd has never abused us sinco, but treated us de cently by appointing Democrats to ofllee, while Greeley has been pouring all kinds of abuso upon us for the last thirty years. Nothiug was too foul for him to heap upon us as a party. Perhaps the most telling indictment ngaiust tho treason of Horace Greeley to tho principles by which ho has all his life professed to be governed, is found in his own words, written in 1840 : "If, on a full nnd final review, my life aud practice shall be found unworthy my prinecples, let duo infamy bo heaped on my memory ; but let none bo thereby led to distrust the principles to which I have proved recreant, nor yet the ability ot some to adorn them by suitable life niuf conver sation. To unerring time be nil this com mitted." Does Greeley want the people to take him at his word ? Whether he docs or not, they will. Buckalew during tho war for the Un ion refused to vote for a bill to pay our soldiers who enlisted in 1802. when Lee in vaded Pennsylvania. He is the Democrat ic candidate of this State. Soldiers can you vole for such a man? Hartley, Democratic candidate for Au ditor General of Pennsylvania, was twice arrested by General Couch, a Democrat himself, for treasonable conduct. Boys who wore the blue nt the front while this man was stabbing you iu the back, can you support him at the polls in October? Judge Thompson, Democratic candidate for Supreme Judge, during tho war declar ed the laws to raise money for our nrmics and money to pay them, to be illegal. In his Court fraudulent naturalization papers were manufactured nnd used to carry the State for the Democracy. He decided in j favor of the State in tho Credit Mobilicr case, and thereafter in the same case de cided against the State, losing our Ccru monwealth 8:1,000,000. The motive for this change of opinion is readily imagined. Soldiers and citizens, can you support such candidates in opposition to good and true soldiers and men like Hartranft, Al len and Mercur ? Wc do not believe that you will. Resolve to vote tho wholo Re publican State ticket at tho October elec tion for the election of good men nnd for the perpetuity of Republican principles. Hobace Ghkkley says he is no less a Republican now than ever he was. Being sue!), lie is uo mora worthy Democratic support than Graut, and when it comes to a consideration of the merits of the men, tho pcoplo will at once be convinced that a tried ruler, wJio has faithfully performed every duty devolved upon him, is safer for rc-clcctiou than the election of a man to an exalted position who has failed in the per formance of every public duty devolved upon him. From the Bloomsburif Republican. Mr. IlurkuIcw'N Putrlotic Act Du ring tlic Rebellion. The question has frequently been asked whether Mr. Buckalew did, during the re bellion, assist in opening tho jail and vot iug the prisoners conliued there iu tho in terest of the rebellion. In reply wc simply assert what is a commonly received fact here, nud which even we think his organ that answers all things by that familiar word, lie," will not dare to deny iu the face of an cnliro community acquainted with the circumstance, viz : that Mr. Buckalew, tho democratic Sheriff and the Commissioner's clerk did rob the county jail of some of its prisoners and took them to Buck Hern, where they voted the ticket of rebellious The sheriff and Commission ers clerk we're arrested and taken to Har lisburg by tho Uuitcd Stales Marshal, but Mr. Buekalew, by using his usual strategy escaped. The deepest indignation was manifested by the cilizens on account of this u ii beard of proceedurc. It is said that tho Southern Confederacy robbed the cra dle and the tomb to destroy the Republic, and it is true that Buckalew robbed our county jail to help them. While Ibis pleas ing incident was transpiring, Harlranft was leaving his all to finish the noble work of our fathers, nnd helping to save, even though it Bbould cost the sacrifice of his own life, the best govermeut the world lias ever seen. These facts are so well estab lished that numerous affidavits can be furn ished to substantiate them. This is the mild man that some forgetful Republicans are expected to vote for in opposition to a man that never was false to a trust and never a traitor to his couutry. According to the Cincinnati platform tho question of a protective tariff was left to tho people of tho several congressional districts (or its solution.

CORRESPONDENCE. Washington, July 15, 1872. Fourth of July In Saubory-.The Centennial. When wo were a boy a 4 th of July cele bration had a peculiar charm, which we might deflue as a mixture of juvenile pa triotism, nnd a juvenile love of sport. This natural and necessary feeling docs not dio out, fortunately for our well-being, as wo advanco in life, but the sentiment changes fn its character as the tender sprout chang es after it has burst the soil, to more sub stantial growth. When wo wero takiug our first lesson of love nnd loyalty to our country, tho excitement Incident to tho celebration of our great national holiday was understood as mere excitemont, and wc had but a slight idea of the nature of its primary cause. Thtn tho excitement was the enticement, but as we advance iu lite the seriousness of the occasion becomes the enticement which draws us from bus iness to participate iu a 4th of JiUy cele bration. Such was our caso in resard to tho late celebration in Sunbury, an occasion long to oc rcmemoereu by its inhabitants, and particularly by that class, the juveniles, who least understand the nature of the case. We left Washington lor Sunburv on tho morning of the third, with nil who tempor arily reside here from our prosperous town, influenced by that sentiment which wo term patriotic loyalty, nnd iu this caso the feeling was that of a local ns well as ot a national character. How often when life was new, and the ardor of youth was pro minent, havo we assembled in connection with material of the same stamn to cele brate our great nnlional birth day on the very spot upon which was assembled on the late ever memorable occasiou, the sober wisdom of age, who spoke gravely, and yet ecstatically, of the events of the far distant past which on that day had drawn so many thousands together. But this oc casion had another feature of iuterest our town was cclebratinc its one hundredth aniversary; and still another, the marking out of tlio spot upon which is to be erect ed n monument in memory of the brave dead of our counry who fell in battle du ring the late rebellion. This was n dis tinguishing feature of the occasion. The erection of a monument within the square seiecicuanu tins occuauunsuggestea idea ot ours ever since the war closed, and wo are gratified to sec that the influential and pro minent men of our place are about to ac complish our long cherished idea. For the satisfaction and benefit of future sencra tions let there be a substantial monument erected in commemoration of tho fallen, and of tho event of which history is the re cord ; that the youth of the future may be taught by this memorial to the honored dead, long after the participants in the great drama of the last decade have passed away, what it is to die a sacrifice for lib erty how the reward of honor has been bestowed, by the men nn:l women of to day, upon those who fell in the noblest light that mankind has ever waged lor jus tice nud the riiiht, and to whom tltcu owe- a debt of gratitude for tho liberties they may enjoy. As time progresses they will bo honored more nud more, and so it should be it is the only tribute that liv ing gratiludu can bestow upon departed worth. We should like to write lengthily upon this subject, but time will not per- unr. Wc hope that the project of surrounding our square at home, according to the pre sent plan, with a good substantial iron fence, will bo carried out as soon as possi ble. Here, in Washington, within the city limits, no space has been left for a public square, the grounds surrounding the public buildings affording places of ie sort. Notwithstanding these places the authorities nave taken advantages ot some of the small triangular spaces which are formed by the manner in which tho letter ed streets enter the Avenue, nnd surround ed them with substantial iron fences. They are well supplied with ornamental trees, and choice shrubbery, and afford delight- tut places as evening resort lor all wno wish to enjoy them. Your humble servant is a frequeut visitor during this extremely hot weather. They are located immediately on the Avenue, nnd are uot ouc sixteenth as large as our square at homo will be. Iron benches are distributed about these little squares for the comfort of the weary. We hope to see just such a beautiful little square formed out of tho vacant space, now known as Market Square, Sunbury, and we hope that tho promised monument will be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible. We every day hear good political news from that great old State, the Keystone ef the great federal arch, notwithstanding Mr. Forney's efforts to demoralize thiugs politically. We wonder whether Forney supposes that he can disguise tho fact that he is one of Gen. Grant's bitterest oppon ents. Mr. Sumner made a grand display of his bitterness in his violent speech against Grant. Mr. Forney is makiug a dunce of himself through his opposition to iiartrantton nccouut oi a private leehng against Gen. Cameron, the nature of which we all understand, aud at the same time giving bis support to Gen. Grant. It is a little inconsistency that won't exactly knit together, and the insincerity of Forney's support of Grant can easily ba detected by the most ignorant. After tho smoko of the bnttlo lias cleared away, and the re-election of Gen. Grant has been accomplished, Mr. Foruey will leave the field of strife again, as he has so often done before this, with his usual reward, the sympathy of a few friends, and the contempt of those whom he, through his own diligent e Hurts, has changed iuto enemies.
