TILIN,TEN COPIES ,TO ONE ADDRESS We have been compelled:to raise the club subscription pricil+to ORO droller and fifty eon* in order to Mite our selves frour actual loss." Paper has '.risen, iikciuding 'taxes, about twenty-tkre per cent., and is still doing and when we tell our Democratie friends, candidly, that we can no longer afford to sell the Weekly PATRIOT AND UNION at one dollar a year, and must add fifty cents or stop the publication, we trust they will appreciate: our position, and, instead a withdrawing their subscrip tions, go to work with a will to increase ourlist in every county in the State. We . have endeavored, and shall continue our efforts, to make the paper useful aa a party organ, and welcome as a news messenger to every fam ily. We flatter ourselves that it has not been without some influence in producing the, glorious revolution in the politics of the State achieved .at the late election; and if fearlessness in the discharge . of duty, fidelity to the principles of the party, and an anxiousdesireto pro mote its interests, with some experience and a moderate degree of ability; can be made serviceable hereafter, the Weekly PATRIOT AND UNION will not be less-useful, to the party or less welcome to , the fitfully circle in the fu ture than it has been in the past. We confidently look for increased encouragemen; is this great enterprioe, and appeal to every influential Democrat in the State to lend us his aid in running our sapscription list up to twenty or thirty thousand. The expense to each indi vidual is trifling, the benefit to the party may be great. Believing that the Democracy of the State feel the ne cessity of sustaining a fearless. central organ, we make this appeal to them for assistance with the fullest confi dence of success. The same reasons which induce; us to raise the price of the Weekly, operate in regard to the Delly'paper, the price of which is also increased. The additional cost to each subscriber will be but trifling; and, while we can not persuade ourselves that the change neeessarilymade will result in any diminution of our daily circulation, yet, Were we certain that such would be the cone quence, we should still be compella to make it, or eat fer a ruinous loss. Under these circumstances we Inuit throw ourselves itpon the generosity, or, rather, the justice of the public, and abide their verdict, whatever' it may be. ' The period for which,many of our subscribers have paid for their paper 'being on the eve of expiring, we take the liberty of issuing this 'notice, reminding them of the same, in order that they may RENEW THEIR CLUBS. We shall also take it as an especial favor if our present subscribers will urge upon their neighbors the fact that the PATRIOT AND UNION is the onliDemooratie paper printed in Harrisburg, and considering the large amount of reading matter, embracing all the current De* of the gi&y, and . . TELEGRAPHIC Di SY:ll(ilit i t IProm ewerywhere up.o the moment the Paper goes to press, political, Miscellaneous, general and local ion market reports, is decidedly the . . CHEAPEST NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THE STATE! • • There is scarcely a tillage or town in the state In which a club cannot be raised if the proper exertion be made, and surely there are few places in which one or more enexigeti&min cannot be found who are in favor of the dissemination of sound Democratic doctrines, who would be willing to make the effort to , raise a club.

B.—The following law, passed by Congress in 1860, defines the duty of Postmasters in relation to the de livery of newspapers to club subscribers : (Sae Zatt/e, Browns .1. 'Co.'s edition of the Laws of 1860, _ page 88, chapter 131, section 1.) "Provided, however, that where packages of newspa pers or periodicals pre received at any post office directed to one addrese, and the names of the eab subscribers to Which tikey belong, with the pater for a quarter in ad vance, shall be handed to the postmaster, he shall de liver the same to their respective owners." To enable the Postmaster to comply with this regula tion, it will be neceesar7 that be be g yurnished with the Set of names composing the dub, and paid a quarters (or yeses) postage in advance. The uniform courtesy of Postmasters, affords the assurance that they will eheerfuliyaccommodate club subscribers, and the latter Should take care that the postage, which is but a trifle in each case, bepaid in advance.

The following bills were passed : An act to change the par value of the stock of the Philadelphia and. Erie railroad. An act authorizing the Philadelphia and Erie railroad company to issue bonds to the county of Erie in lien of those issued by the Sunbury and Erie railroad company. An act, to authorize the sale of certain ground rent of Maria Boyle. An act to incorporate the Clement seminary. An act to incorporate the Philadelphia mili tary college. - A supplement to an act incorporating the Lykens Valley coal company, *as opposed by Mr. GRABER, who considered it wrong to give to any mining company the privilege of owning fifteen thousand acres of land. Such unusual and liberal terms would allow the company to control the markets and injure the rights of the laboring man. The bill did not pass. An act to grant the Fourth Presbyterian congregation power to sell certain ground in the city of Philadelphia. • The bill to incorporate the Millersburg and Bausch• Gap railroad company came up in or der among the objected bills on the Private Calender. Mr. GRABER said that by examining this bill he found that this company not only ask for a railroad charbir, but seek to grasp the privileges which four other companies ought $lB3 00 3 71 1,295 00 .......•••-• 3 65 1 ) 485 36 PRICE :TWO CENTS. to have—in other words; to monopolize the privileges of to t urdietinot Corporations.

If the House would grant such, piinteges to an. ideorporated company it might atwell.inolude the whole . coal business of Fenusylvaniw in, their charter, as they would not only control the mining, interests, but also thVniarkets.

Adjourned. • For the Patriot and Union TERRIBLY FRIGHTENED. The Abolition party, or that wing of it, that only slew years ago were so singularly fright= ened at the pretended eneroachnienta of foreign and Catholic influence in this country, are in a terrible state of mental excitement in`regard to a certain secret organisation reported to be in exisietiee, and Said to be designed to kidnap the President of the United States and tear down things generally about Washington, Harrisburg, &0., Sce., It is quite natural that this class of bigoted fanatics should, in their imaginations, see strange things in the absence of daylight. No one is better prepared to distrust the mo tine of another than the pereon who is least to be trusted himself. Therefore, understand ing human nature in this light, we do not con sider it a matter of astonishment to beheld such a deep interest manifested by persons of " dark lantern notoriety," for the safe-keeping of. Abraham Linooln and his friends. ' Among • the , numerous rumors concerning this all-powerful organization are, that General M'Clellan is to proceed to this Capital of the United States, seize the archiveis of the nation and compel the President and the Heads of of Departments to flee back to Abolitiondem (say Massaehusetts) for their lives; and that the rebel sympathizers at the North (Demo crats, of course,) have made all necessary ar rangements to take Stonewall Jackson by the hand and lead him •and his army across the Potomac into Maryland, whilst' numerous otneimef sympathizing proclivities are to Dol." out tha or . our Union-loving Abolitionists, in order that they may be murdered, their houses plun dered,• their property confiscated, &c. If all this is to be done in the short time specified by the frightened ones, (before April,) God help the big-mouthed warriors and stay-at-home patriots, for death by fright or violence is inevitable. The sights incident to this invited rebel raid will be terrible; the flight of the loyal from their homes, the cries of the negro philanthropist for mercy at the hands of old Stonewall, and the general dis: tress usually accompanying the hurried marches of Martyrs" before the vengeance of an enraged enemy, looms up before the imagi nation in about the same sublime charaoteris tics that marked the forced flight of a'certain set of former patriots through the Capitol win dows at Harrisburg during the 'memorable Buckshot war. •It is not our desire to see these poor, tremb ling creatures consigned to the republic of dust under such distressing circumstances, and therefore advise them, as the only means . of escape, to immediately repent of their many sins of omission and commission against the eternal principles of Democracy, and take up for the side of the Constitution and Union, as interpreted by the Jeffersonian school of statesman, and we Will furnish them a guar antee against personal violence and aggression of every kind at the hands of' M'Clellan's rev olutionary army, Stonewall Jackson's rebel .hordes. Join our order of the "Golden Circle," (for a golden Circle it is,) not the one that never had an existence, except in the imagination of Abolition conspirators, but the old Golden Circle conceived by a personage no less great than the immortal Jefferson, and ihatnred by his true Democratic followers; that circle from which every man in America has received all the blessings of civil and re ligious liberty for nearly three-quarters of a century—in other Words, the old Democratic, Constitutional Union party, which at once embodies within itself, all the securities against confusion, dissolution, anarchy; dis grace, bloodshed, martyrdom, fright and final ruin. Join us, we say, and peace and perfect Security will come to -you door ; but reject this good advice—go on in evil doings ; go on as the blind leading the blind, harden your hearts, stiffen your necks, and close your eyes to reason, common sense and experience ; go on in the support of negro proclamations and other unconstitutional acts of the present State and national administrations, and the "Golden Circle" of which we speak cannot promise to be responsible for what misfortunes may befall you. We repeat—join the great Democratic party, that repudiated the princi ples of Abolitionism at the last election ; that elected Horatio Seymour Governor of New York ; that has always defended the stars and !stripes against the aggressions of traitors within, and foes without; _that has made us , the admiration of the world, and shaken des `pots on their thrones ; that has defended the civil and religious liberties of the people, at all times and on all occasions ; do this, and you will be as secure as Pharaoh in the hands of the Egyptian embalmers.

LETTER FROM PHILADELPHIA. Correspondent* of the Patriot and 'anion However it may have been in other parts, in this latitude March came in neither as a lion nor as a lamb, but much like a pretty girl in a pet• In the morning, heavy, 'threatening Clouds covered the sky, end we had a "right smart" fall of rain. But in .the afternoon the sun came boldly out ; all nature smiled through. her tears, and made everybody as cheerful as herself. Before the beginning of another week that " notorious body of politicians, who have been doing so much mischief for the put three months at -the foot of Pennsylvania avenue, in the Capital city, will have ditipersed and gone home, much to the relief of the liyal people Of the land. As for the country; they have done it more harm than good. Somebody has said that Jeff. Davis was running two CongresseS-- one iti Richmond and one in Washington—and there is actually more truth than poetry in the sarcasm ; for these pando Republicans have done'reore to aid the rebellion than all its for eign sympathizers put together. In the begin ning of this struggle, when_ the counsels of conservatism were listened to, our arms and cause made important progress, and the au therity of the government was in a fair way of being restored in the rebellious districts. But it would not do to have the Union as it was, and so, in obedience to the behests of impatient Abolitionism, the ;administration drifts away from the old landmarks, and pros titutes the executive and legislative branches of the government •to the purposes of anti slavery fanatieism The consequence is before the world. But the great reaction is setting in, the people are awake, and if no nettobstaeleit are ipterposed by the madmen, Lincoln and Davis, the Union will be restored. The press of the office-holding partisans, North and South, are continually indulging in misrepre sentations concerning the people, when, in fact, the ill-tempered views they express are only the reflex of their own evil hearts. The masses are for peace. Disunionists every where cry for " more blood !" This is the high carnival of •ultraism, but it is too violent to last long, and in the midst of their develish glee, the authors of our distresses will be hurled from power, and suffer a deserved igno minious death at the hands of an outraged people. WaShington's birthday was celebrated with more than - usual. spirit by our citizens. The new post office building. on CbeFa...ni. street. was llmsuguratsa, atm 113 now Going mums: - The so-eelleg. Union " League," alias " rebu kers," had a meeting at their club house, where speeches were made by a few watd-be aristo cratic snobs, egotistical dandies, et id omne genus. But the greatest attraction. was 'at Concert Hall, in the evening, where an oration was delivered (under the auspices of the Cen tral-Demneratic club) by, Richard O'Gorman, Esq., of New lrork. The address—able, elo quent and patriotic—was listened to by one of the largest audienoies of ladies and gentlemen ever assembled in this city. • There is not mush going on here at present, and robberies, murderous affrays, &c., "Vale their ineffectual fires " before the grand sub ject of the war. The theatres and different places of amusement are taking in the " green backs "at a tremendous rate. The publication of the new morning paper, as your readers are doubtlese aware, is unavoidably postponed until the tatter part of the month. Truly yours, COMMODORE. Maims. EDITORS :—I would, through the medium of your excellent sheet, inform your many readers of some of the doings of the teachers of Lower Swatara township, Dauphin county, for the winter term, which will close about the Ist of April next. To let them know that, while the war is progressing in some of the States, and the children of the so-called Confederacy ate deprived of instruction, we in the Northern States are not in the least affected by it in regard to education, which should be a great consolation to every patriotic man and woman in the North. Therefore I have concluded to give you the proceedings of our institutes in this township (Lower lawn tare.) The teachers organized an institute at the opening of the schools last fall, and elected M. R. Alleman president. The institute has been in cession every alternate Saturday since. The members were punotual In their attendance during the session. This day, the 28th of Feb ruary, the institute met in school house No. 1, Highapire.. The fellowing members answered to their names L. F. Steinmetz, M. It. Alle man, W. M. Bleany, H. G. Morning, M. E. Stoner and C. H. Fry. Messrs. E. C. Irwin and S. Alleman were • admitted as advisory members of the, institute. C. B. Fry then ex plained his method of teaching mental arith metic in a very satisfaoto4y manner. Mx, Morning followed in the same branch. Mr. Irwin was then called on, and gave a very satisfactory explanation in some points of mental arithmetio. On motion of Mr. Fry, the thanks of the members were tendered to Mr. Irwin for participating in the exeroises. Mr. Bleany then entered on geegraphy, drawing the State of Wisconsin, and giving en expla nation, the boundaries, rivers, Capital, towns, &a. Different other countries were drawn and explained by the members. On motion,Mr. Stoner was to solve afew probledts in arithme tic, one of which was : " How much longer will it take $lO to make $2O, at 5 per cent. than at 6 per cent." The problem was ex plained by Mr. Stoner. Mr. Fry then gave the following problein.: "Bought cloth at $5 per yard. What must be the asking price, in order to fall 10 per cent. on it, and still make' 10 per cent. on the purchase." The above. question caused a great disousson, in which the members all participated. Grammar was con ducted by Mr. Stelnemetz and Mr. Alleman is a very satisfactory manner to all tke members. On motion there was a subject taken up on education, which was discussed by Mr. Fry and Mr. orning.. On motion adjourned. 0. Hams FRY, Sec'y. D. S. P. The charter election, Geneva, N. Y., which took place on Monday last, resulted in the success of the entire Democratic ticket by about 150 majority. 6 • PIIILADBLPHIA, March 2, 1863. [oo!nmiuticated.]
