GOOD KXKMFLAR6.
Last month the counties of Northampton,
Montgomery and Berks paid the whole of
tlgrir State tax for 1867 into the treasury. Of
these Northampton paid $30,000, Montgom
ery over SIO,OOO and Berkt over $e5,000.
We like the steady German industry and
thrift which lias proved ilsell on many occa
sions the main pillar of the stale. It is this
reliable and respectable element in the char
acter oT our people that alone can keep our
honest old Commonwealth from bankrupting
herself by indulging in every wild stock
speculation, and trom disgracing herself by
running into every political fanaticism that
springs Irom the distempered brains of New
England men.
The German Democrats of Berks, North
ampton and Montgomery have a solidity of
character which make* thorn worth mote to
keep the stale from rocking into disorder and
misrule than a dozer, of the Republican doun
rics like Bradford or Potter. The staid and
solid Gorman character has • hearty rever
ence for God and an honest respect for bis
country. He lives by thrift, and not only by
"hook or by crook"—by honest toil and not
by dishonorable (ricks—by a conscientious
devotion lo duty, and not by cunning craft.
A to Yankee ' smartness" in sustaining j
schools take the following example from
Bradford Last year in one district a school
tax of ten mills on the dollar was laid, which
yielded a trifle over one hundred dollars, and
uus spent in unwise litigation. In another dis
trict the superintendent says of the school
house: —"I pity the children and teachers
who meet here. A humane man provides
better shelter for bis sheep. Should say the
model of this house was a canal shanty, but
it ie a bad imitation." One district reports
m>cn schools, and levies £217 t*x for their
support. Another reports ten schools, and
levies £3OO school lax. The Republican roc
ord goes on to say :
"Wilmot township is more remarkable for
petty law-suits than excellent schools. It is
new and chiefly lumbering dis'rict. Thir
teen mills school tax is panl by the people,
and still die amount raised from it is not suf
ficient lo bet-p open lour months' decent
schooling. This is hard. When will trie
slate be just to these oppre.-sed parents and
wronged children I
"There was but ono school open in Wilmot
last winter, and that was lint lint-rate. The
directors said they had not the means In pay
fair wages lor teaching, and could not get in
structors at such prices ns they wsre able to
pay. Number seven is a lair school bouse
but lies a bad location. Number three is to!
erable. Found two other frames of little val
ue, and th'ee log houses or the poorest sort."
Some of these people come down in win
ter to teach the "Pennsylvania Dutch." One
starts out to peddle a receipt for makiug "A
Universal everlasting soap." One goes oil a
vagrant tour to preach spiritualism. A third
lectures on phrenology. A fourth goes out
to make hie "tarsal fortui" as a Homrspaihic
doctor. Another sells "Magio Oil" lo the un
itiated, end the remainder cry our lo Berks
Co. "come up and help us lo pay our school
lax for we have sore need ol your aid just
now."
• We say lo these men look after your "op
pressed parents and wronged children" at
homo, and leach them to make honest,steady
unit usefnl citizens before yon trouble your
selves about the people of the South. It
seams there ie quite enough work to do in
some of that Republican North until the
ec'.iool houses shall become equal lo the hou
aes ol many blacks in the South.
Popntitr Sovereignly.
The lasl number of Blaelcwood'i Magazine
lias a strong and ablo article upon the sub
ject of representation in Parliament from the
Britieb American colonies. It was long since
proposed to allow each of the Canadas two
members, New Rrunsvvick two, Nova Scotia
two, New Foundlend one, and Capo Breton
one; but the Tory propensities of the ministry
resisted and defeated the project. Now,
however, the danger of losing these colonies
ia becoming lon imminent; end the qjd cry
of "no taxation without representation" again
■wells over the Atlantic. Judge Halliburton
has gone to Euglsnd, like Franklin in 1774,
to demand |lw right of self government for
the British aubjnots of the American colonies,
and even Blackwood agrees to give them a
voice in Parliament.
This ia a significant sign of the times, as
indicating the spirit of self government or
popular sovereignly even in die subjects of a"
liberal monarchy. It indicates 100 that even
the strong, strict government of England is
compelled to listen to the voieo of its people;
and that In this aga men will not be ruled
by sn irresponsible power three thousand
mile* away.
A id if even the least liberal of the British
statesmen begin to concede this right of self
government to distant colonists, would it not
be strange if republican America refused il
lo her children in Kausas? If the Canadas
will not be governed by strangers in London,
wby should our people of the territories be
ruled by those who are as much strangers
lo them at Washington city!

THE Pa ESS. —We have received the first
number of Col. Forney's new Democfaiic

well, and bears all over it the marks of the

season has delayed the canals and interfered
with the mines.
DEATH FROM GRIEF. —An instance of death
from sudden grief has jusf occurred in this
city. It is that of a slave woman, named
Mary Jane, aged about 30 years. She had
been the nurse of on interesting infant of Mr.
Paulus Thyson, of 7th street, which died on
Sunday morning last. As soon as the spirit
of the little sufferer had passed sway, the
faithful-nurse sunk into unconsciousness, and
thirty hours thereafter expired, without other
apparent cause thar. .the grief that had over
powered her. She belonged to Mr. Thyson,
and had been (he nurse of nil bis children.—
This is but another illustration of the fervor
of the affections that so pre-eminently char
acterizes the African race, especially when
educated under the influences of kind and
gentle associations.— Washington Stales.
ty The sale of lots at Port Treverton on
Saturday, the 25tb, attracted quite a large
assemblage of persons. There were about
80 lots Solo, at prices ranging from 930 to

deep. The best lots were not put up for
sale. Mr. Bennel, of the great auction firm
of F. W. Bennet k Co., Baltimore, was the
auctioneer on the occasion, who kept a hun
gry end thirsty crowd in constant good h.u

As OED INFIDTT.-— The Hon. J. R.Giddings
has written a characteristic letter to the Tit
hunc, in whioh he saya thqt the "God of
Abraham" is not his God; that he despises
Sim and holds him in contempt; that he is
n idol or the deii/'of the slave holders, and
they are right in worshipping him. He (Bid
dings) don't wotship nor beliove in the God
of the Bible, but he liae one of bia own—
that is, an anti-slavery God—a nigger, we
suppose, some odious creature who winks at
pillage and theft. Seriously, though ia it not
disgraceful that a widely circolated newspa
per should givo currency to this old driveler's
blasphemy !

time in Philadelphia, drinking ale aad lager
beer, iu order to convince the Germans that
he's not a fanatic on the temperance ques

Lottery SiprcuhUlmn--Their Nutare.
Since our financiers undertook to quarrel
with lotteries, thpy have given the world a
worse thing in |ho shape of fancy Btocks,
which promise a great deal, and seldom ben
efit any one excopt the managers. Well
conducted lotteries, like the Jasper County
Academy, managed by Messrs. Anderson &
Son, at Macon, and Savannah, Georgia, are
not, in our opinion, liable to any objection,
The purchaser inows he is to run the risk
of fusing his money; but ho is equally well
aware that he may win largely. Their next
drawing, we understand, will take place on
tho 17th day of August inst., and should it
come oil' as expected, it will bo one of the
greatest of its kind—the capital prizes being
$60,000, $20,000, SIO,OOO, $6,000, $4,000,
$2,000, and so on down to throo thousand
prizes of S3O each, making in aU, 3,286 pri
zes, and only 30,000 tickets issued against
them, being one prize to every nine tickets.
Those wishing to purchase tickets, which
vary in price from two and a half to ten dol
lars, had better send their orders as soon as
possible lo Anderson Si Son, Macon, Geor
gia, as "delays are dangerous." Thoir small
schemes are drawn every Saturday—tickets
from one to four dollars.
IN THE PACIFIC.—WhiIe the eyes of
Enrope arid America has* baen directed to
wards the movements of Great Britain, in la
king possession of Periro and trying lo get
one of ihe Bay Islands, they have entirely
overlooked what is occurring in the Pacific,
among the guano islands. The island of
Elide, in die Pacific, a nr.ile and a quarter
from Ihe coast of Lower California, was re
cently visited by some Americans from San
Francisco, claiming it and its guano under a
Moxican title. There were two other parlies
claiming under other titles, and one of these
fitted out a schooner, sailed for (he island,
where they found thp first party in possession,
landed eight men with eight rifles and a pis
tol, and took the possessors prisoners and
seized all their property. The island was
then fortified, and the prisoners sent to San
Francisco, lu the latter city they entered
a complaint against their captors, who were
arrested. Thd Court has now tfcc subject
of jurisdiction under consideration. But it
it supposed that no more blood will be shed.
jy The straw Bonnet business appears lo
have been overdone in Massachusetts, and
hence there are groat complaints of dull timer;
in the trade. In Franklin mill
ions of straw bonnets have been manufac
tured, enough for one quarter of the heads,
great and small, old and young, in the Uni
ted Stales Many people have the idea, that
fashionables in our large cities ROH'ro! the
style of bonnets; in o'her words, that the
fashionable buyer, and not the manufacturer,
decides the styles of bonnets to be made.—
This is not so. The manufacturer controls
tliis matter completely. Last fall there was
an association of bonnet-makers organized
in Massachusetts, for the purpose of making
thoetjle uniform, and it is said they have
entirely succeeded In their purposes '

papers contain accounts of the successful ex
ploration of the new guano island Eletle, on
the Coast of Lower California, about the own
ership of w hicli there has recently been a law
suit in San Francisco. A cargo of one hundred
and twenty tons was recently brought to Sail
Francisco, and >* safti to be equal in quality
to Peruvian guano. The island was sold by
Mexico to American citizens some time ago.
The property is in Americans, but the sover
eignty of the island is in Mexico.
The Direct Trade between Europe end the
South. —The linn. Win. B. P.-eslon, of Vir
ginia, will sail for Europe on Saturday, op
liia mission to secure the establishment of a
line of steamers from England to the waters
of the Chesapeake. It is stated that all the
railroad companies in Virginia, and some in
Kentucky and Tennessee, have joined the
movement, ami that the parlies now pledged
to the enterprise represent a capital of $59,-
000,000. It will probably require all that to
force trade frogt the channels it naturally
flows iuto when left unrestricted.

Hot as tjie weather. is, we ||iave patiently

to be a reply tp certain interrogatories ad

.JTDO vou liold that in the election or ap-
hem Atneri

to replied o f onr
Statu establishes a wise And safe policy in re
spect to the poinT embraced in jotir first in
terrogatory." Well, then, if the history or
our State shows that "a wise and safe policy"
has heretofore been pursued in regsrd to lite
appointment and election of naturalized citi
zens to office, the Know Nothing creed and
assertions 011 that point are alike false. Hence
"is Wilmot a Know Nothing ?" But he en
lightens us further by adding that "occasions
may arise, when an enlightened and faithful
discharge of duly, would demand our suflra
ges forthe naturalized citizen, in preference
to one born on jour soil." Immortal Know
Nothings, where are you now f Does your
creed admit that you vole for a naturalized
citizen in preference to a native born 7 Now

"Americans" must jfcrralt the Republicans'
to whip you into the harness and make you

your creed ! Oh, how fallen, ye ramparf'iri

2. Are you in .favor of the protection of
American labor, American righla, and Amer
ican interests?
To this, your second interrogatory, I shall
content myself with a simple affirmative an
swer.
In the name of sense, who would not give
an affirmative answer! Every free trader in
the world will say AMEN to that. But they
could not make him say he was in favor of a
protective tariff as advocated by Clay and
Webster, and the Pennsylvania Whigs !
To the 3d interrogatory, a rigmarole abon'.
"purification of the baltuf .box," "reform in
the natoratizs'rioh lasv*," 'jforeign paupeu,"
Ac., he says:
"It has evpr been a source of just pride to
the true American, that his country opened
an asylum for the oppressed of every land.
God forbid that we should be so ungrateful
for his blessings, as 'o refuse to share them J
with the honest and industrious of whatever :
dime our country ; but it is an outrage upon
our hospitality, and a violation of in lernution
al law, for the Government of the Old World
to ship, cargoes of criminals and paupers on
our shores.'"
There is more Knqw NothingistjiJor you! ,
Ila! ha! ha ! "Js Wilmot a Know Nothing?"
"Oh, ye Gods and little fishes,
Leather spoons and paper dishes !"
But thon follows a little salve—the 4th in
terrogatory :
4. Are you opposed to sny interference of
Churtsh H6trrh*ei< pofttie*}
To jtour four lit interrogatory I answer: that
I am opposed to the interference of Hierarch
ies in politics. The office of a Christian
Minister is second to no other in dignity and
responsibility. I would not detract from bis
functions, or impair the respect due to his
character. I acknowledge his right, and as
teacher of other people, believe it to be his
duty, to speak openly and fearlessly against
social and political evils, destructive of public
morals and at war with the interest and hap
piness of mankind.' 1 '
The plain English of this answer is, that
if thy "Christian Minister" preaches aboli
tion politics, then he is right for the ministry
to engage in that occupation, but not other
wise. Bah, David, that is beneath you. You
! would have scorned such demagogueism in
your Democratic days. You coolly assume,
too, that the tjjiiluiiics ate all Democrats,
and then you condemn them for the mere
fact (as you issert} that in politics they act
together. Dtord you assert, David, that such
was the fact previous to Know Nothing
times I Dare you assert that the Republican
party of the North assume that position ?
You dare do neither, and well you know it.
Is it singular, reader, if it be true, that the
Catholics alt leave a pafty which opposes
and denouncos them, and for the same time
act with one which refuses to mingle relig
ion with politics In any form? Bet, Mr.
Wilmot, you well know that the Quakers are
equally unanimous in opposing the Demo
cratic party, and have maintained that stub
born attitude ever since the Revolution.—
Should they, therefore, be held up to public
execration? Yon have not the manliness
to arrnigit all denominations that do these
things. Why then select the catholic for
"'Mil see £our trick as
plain as the Jews saw the pillar of fire.
But the'letter winds up in a "blaze of glo
ry." • Here is the sth interrogatory :
5. Arc you in favor of Free Schools for
tho edufatimi of oil classes, with the Bible
as a text book used thrtein T
" To your fifth Interrogatory I answer
that I.am In favor of froe schools for the ed-'
ucation of all classes ; and am opposed to
any exclusion of the Bible tlicrofrom."
There you are, on our own platform, just
where you have no business to bo. Why
did you'not answer the question that was as
ked: are you in favor Of the ÜBO of the Bible
as a Text Book in school ? You answer that
you are opposed to its "exclusion from
school"—very different subjoctsl In our
connection with public schools we have al
ways Opposed she use of the Bible m a text
book, because Ve> regarded such use as ir
reverent and ifr3R£ißl>!f. a well as improper
for other reasons, but hawo always insisted
that the schools should be opened everyday
by the teacher reading a email portion of the
scripture to the pupils. Now, friend David,
we are at a loss to know whether you en
dorse our views or not We guess you do,
or else you would have answered the ques
tion frankly.
Now, we challenge the K. N. organs and
orators to show ue front this letter whether
Wilmot is aK.N. Pr not. 1U dare not state

T. KINGSFORD & SOX'S
PURE
OSWEGO STARCH,
(FOR THE LAUNDRY.)
TTAS established a greater celebrity than
has ever been obtained by any other
Starch.
This has been the result of its marked su
periority in quality, and its invariable uni
j lormity.
i The public may be assured ot the continu-
I ance of the h gh standard now established.
| The production is over Twenty Tons daily,
j and the demand has extended throughout the
j whole ol the United States, and to foreign
countries.
Working thus on a very large scale, and
| under a rigid system, they are aide to secure
, a perfect and uniformity in the quality tnrough
j out the year. This is the great Desideratum
i in Starch-making, and ia realized now lor
I the first lime.
The very best starch that can be made,and
no otlur, is always wai ted by consumers,
aud while litis will be supplied to them by
the grocers, as soon as their customers t)*ve
learned which is the beet, and ask for it
otherwise they would be likely to gel that
article on which the largest profit can be
made.
Mr. Kingsford has been engaged in the
manufacture of starch continuously for the
lest 27 years, and during ihe whole of the
period, the starch made under his supervis
ion has been, bevond anv question, the best
in the market. For the first 17 years, he bad
the charge of ihe works ol Wm. Colgate &.
Co., at which period he invented the procom
of the manufacture of corn starch.
Iy Ask for Khigsford's Starch, as ths name
Oswego has recently been taken by another fac
tory.
T. KINGSFORD & SON'S
OSWEGO CORN STARCH,
{For Puddings, Ifc,)
Has obtained ao equal celebrity With their
Starch for the Lanndry. This fcrtiofe is per
fectly pure, and is, in every respect, equal to
the best Bermuda Arrow-Root, besides hav
ing additional qualities which render it inval
uable for the dessert.
Potato Starch has been extensively packet!
and sold as Corn Staroh, and has gtvon false
impressions to many, as to the real merits of
our Corn Starch.
From its great delicacy and purity, it is
coming also into expensive use as a diet for
l infants and invalids!
