. 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 . .

There is scarcely a tillage or town in the state In

would be willing to make the effort to , raise a club.

N. 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

• 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

smart" fall of rain. But in .the afternoon the

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.

Concert Hall, in the evening, where an oration
was delivered (under the auspices of the Cen

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.
