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 reformation of n
poopliiiia not always brought about by ap
peals 'to .reason. Policy nud sell-intcrcst
hte potent auxiliaries in swaying nil man
kind. 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." Our neighbor of the Dcm

a low late every Republican iu the county
will cxt rt himself in hit district, and aid in

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

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."

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.

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.

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. Yours &c, J.

I noticed an article in your paper, iu
column of Agricultural Department advo
cating ashes ss a good fertilizer for sweet
potatoes ; aliow me to tell you what"! know
about farming." The soil on the Pacific
coast abouuds in alkali, (ashes) in places
to such an extent AS to impregnate the
water so as tomako it quite uutlt for drink
iug or culinary purposes. Now ns to sweet
potatoes. 1 saw oue in San Diego county
that weighed thirty-six pounds, have seen
several in Los Augeloa county weighing
from twenty to twenty-five pounds. Po
tatoes weighing flora ten to fifteen pounds
are of ordinary occurrence. The potatoes
ate of the finest quality, sound throughout,
in short the finest sweet potatoes 1 ever saw.
Beets too, grow to an astonishing size,
weighing from a hundred to a hundred and
tweuty pounds. Now if any of my Eastern
friends aro at all incredulous in tho potato
uud ibeet question, I will mrWard a few
samples if they will pay freight and ex
