As an oritor .be bas few superiors, and as a

Mr. Clymer was elected to the State Sen

The Republican party chested themselves
tremendously when they elected to effice
, Andrew Johnson, Senator Cowan, Nes
sm'uh, Congressman, Raymond ard olllcrs.
By their own Republican votes they placed
item in high' positions of power and au-thr-ri'y.
Ey Ilepntlican pledges and sol
err.n protestations to the American people,
that their princip'es were in entire barmo
' riy with the Union ; that they were earnest
and sincere in their intentions to maintain
the Constitution and labor faj, the gcod of
whole country ; that :hey were a 4r.o par
ty:' party, or a "Union" pany, or a "Loyal
Leag8" party, neither the abolition of sla
very, Negro Suffrage, Equality of the races,
amalgamation, centralization or anything of
the kind were thj pledges, they gave the
people, and the very ones too ty which
they placed their candidates in power. Our
opponents have always dodged and denied
the true issnes when appealing to the peo
ple In 1855 tbey tried to ride ii.to power
on the cry of free-spetch and free press,al
though they failed, yet we have evey rea
son to telleve, by their abjsrary acu during
their late accession to power that there was
To meaning in their declarations. Throojh
Congressional resolution", and numberless
pcblic speeches, they pledged their honor
that the !a:e ar.wa,vof for the abolition of
slavery tut for the restoration of tLe Uuicn
and the mainjanace of the Conslilutlcn.
Is their a sane man. now living who be
lieve that they inteded ro carry out there
jldged ? No; not one.
Tbey bellowed long and toed and shook
themselves night and day to rid themselves
- cf the trn'hfcl charge of being advocates of
Negro SofTraga. IVe ask 30a readers, know
ing thai yon are acquainted with the past
-and present state of affairs, were they, then
and are they nob sincere in their declara
tions ?
The fact is the Republican parly ask
their officers to carry ont an entirely differ
ent programme from that snbrciued to ; and
ndorsed by the people. But with pride
and honor to the above named patriots who
bave taken Ihe Constitution for their gnide,
w ho are determined fo carry out the princi
ples upon which tbey were elected, who
are faithful to '.heir pledges ; and to the will
"" ef their constituent, who Bre not to be de
lated and fascinated by Republican disun
ion trieks and mid-night schemes. How
tV.riously and woefully are the Radicals
disappointed in the persons of the above
named patriots. .Their disappointment is
3 ist ; it's the reward they meril ; an 1 we

TOtir Position. y
Many persona have imbibed the idea that j
the Democratic partyxiaim Andy Johnson.
Spjch is oft the case. Yfe sirrply endorse
trim in his-constitutional effort? to restore
the Union of our fathers, and lo bring
I peace and order oul of confusion. So long
as Abraham Lincoln adopted wise and constitutional-measures
the Democratic party
aided him in the field and at home. Their
support to his successor is ' the more out
spoken, because the Radicals of his own
party bare denounced him and if we failed
to cast our strength for him in Congress,
every one knows bis pplicy could not pre
vail nor would his vetoes prove effective.
Moreover, our support is disinterested.
That is, we neither claim nor ask . from bim
any reward in the shape of offices. We
wish to prove that our party js one of prin
cip!end needs not the cohesive power of
blonder to keep it together, nor can i:s sup
port be pun'msed. But we: do insist thai
Andy Johnson thall Gil ttie offices ; within
his gift by bis friends, and: not by avowed
enemies... And we insist that they who en
dorse the Radicals in Concress are bis en
emies, because they encourage them in
their opposition to bis policy. Tt.e Presi
dent has taken an appeal from Congress to
to the people, and it i utterly impossible,
crpecuiVy for an rjji:e holder, to endorse both.
He who is not for him is against him, and
where the lines are so clearly drawn, ihere
is no middla course. . :
A Word to Our Subscribers.
Having combined the two 'Democratic
papers of this place, we feel entirely safe
in saying, that the Dmocrit and Sak bas
to-day a larger circulation than any other
county paper in Northern Pennsylvania ;
and with the steady increase ii circulation
which it now enjoys, and with a little' more
energy on the pan of our many friends
these nemteri will soon te increased to
two thousand fiva hundred. Nothing less
than this should satisfy the Democratic
party. Enterprise, industry and money,
will te liberally expanded to make the
Democrat A5D Star in every respect a fir$t
class r,e;vspaer.
Our mechanical imjrove merits, however,
cannot be made, and should not be expected,
until after the first of April next, when we
will remote our combined material and
force, to a better business location. Pro
fjundly impressed with the desire to do all
in our power for the edification, prosperity
and happiness of the people, we kfndly ask
theirsympathy a;id sopport, and above all,
thefjTorof Hitn who crowns every good
work. ;

Tbe frequency of the occurrence of gold ex
citement, caused by new disco, eries, and
the consequent rush ai d general stampedes
lo (hoe points, and these being for the most
part in winter, are the reasons why so many
become frozen. Two or three stampedes
have taken place this winter. A new dis
covery, was made at Sun River, about 130
miles nonh of this place and hundreds ol
men were soon on their way thither some
in wagons, some on horseback, and some
on toot, with the-r 6ngle pack animal carry-
ing their "grub," mining implements and
cooking oteusils. A man runs a great risk
in going on such expeditions, not only of
suffering.frt m cold.but of losing every thing

other good business prospeots spend the

in conjunction with a revenue official, sent

of tobacco and cigars, amounting to fifteen
thousand dollars, was taken, leaveing him-
self and family,' consisting of a wife and
five cnildren, without means of support.
A number of other seizures of from three
to ten thousand bave teen made.! If these
things had been done in summer, inatead
ofmid-siintef,' it would not have been so
bad, but at this season it seems very bard.
Flour is worth S23 to S 25, per hundred ;
corn meal, S20 lo $24 ; Sugar, 65 to 90 cts

other things in proportion. The probabili

The Maryland Com m utee hat! scarcely
colnded iheir hand-shakit-g when the del
egaten to the Iron and Steel Convention
called on the President. They were Irom
Peuns) Ivanta, New-Jersey, Georgia,. Ken
lucky, New-York, Illinois, Mississippi Ma
ryland. Vermont. Massachnsestls, Connec
ticut, Virginia, Michigan, Delaware, Ohio,
Missouri, and other States. Hon. J K.
Mocri.ead. ot Pennsylvania, accompanied
the ile:eiio'i.
The President said that he was much
obliged io them lor iheir visit, and thanked
them tor tfce compliment ol calling upon
turn. He svm p ilhized to the mmost exten
in what they desired 10 perform in reference
to increasing the happiness and promo ina
the interests cf the Torkina classes. His
whole life had been devoted to the work of
elevating the condition of the working class
es. Kvery action of his life had been in
con-onance with that principle. 'Whether,
in the means he had adopted, he had been
right, tim would decide. He would say to
them that whiie they were here engaged in
their object, he b-ped there wa another
otjeel 111 which ihey were equally interest
ed the thorough reioratton of the Govern
ment. The lull and complete reconcilia
liorrof the couniry ought to be a precursor
to all movements should be Ibe first object

inuuemai miareais oi ine couu-ry. na
spoke of the state of the currency, and the
different views entertained of contraction
and expansion, and said i When we look
at these things the .Erst object is the resto
ration of the Government. He spoke of
the internal revenue, and said That a resto
ration ol the Government in' all its branches
would have the effect to remove all the bur
densome internal tax of the country. Any
thing he cdold do to promote all the inter-
ests of ihe country, he assured them be
would do. -
Mr. Ward then said : The great danger to
the country are ihe vast importations (rom
Europe, which cannot be checked except
by the imposition of huh duties. .
The President replied : By creatine a
greater demand for the currency in extend
ing the 'area of its circulation, thereby ob
viating the necessity of diminishing it, all
danger would be averted. The paramount
object, however, i to let us have a restored
Government a uni ed Union.
Mr. Ward here said : We are under the
impression we have a government.
The President replied: Let us have a
whole Government a restored Union, a
thoroughly reconciled and united couniry.
The members of the Committee were
then severally introduced io the President,
and the delegation withdrew.
Tbe above Extracts show the nerve
and courage of the President and his
honest and determined intent on restor
ing our distracted Republic to its normal
unity and prosperity.
