The criticism in the "Herald" of last week on the address of Col. Jordan, comes with poor grace from a man of so much intelligence as tho Editor of that puper. He wishes Mr. Jordan to tell how we are to get rid of a debt which the party has entailed upon the country. Suppose we let the Democratic party an swer. First. "By paying the debt of the Jeff. Davis Government. Second. By allowing a compensation to Slave Holders for the loss of their slaves and ether property, —this should be paid in Gold of course. Third. Then turn to the Loyal man, who in the hour of trial loaned his pittance to the Govemmen' to keep the Stars and Stripes afloat, and tell him that his Bond is worthless it was made by an "assumed Congress." Fourth. Tell the Union wounded soldier that his Peusion Certificate is not good bocause Rebels were not represented in Congress, but give the Rebel that ■wounded him a Certificate of pardon and restore him all his goods and chattels without confiscation." So runs the the Democratic theory. The hard names spoken of by the "Her ald" are implcasant both to use and hear but the history of that party for the last six years has been such as to merit them all—and it will be many long years bo fore they can be forgotten. No doubt the ' Herald" would like to rub out this record and cease to hear the party called by its right name. This can never be dona. They must reap the fruits of what they have sown. Northern sympathizers should be as wise as Southern Rebels and abandon forever the "lost cause," and instead of raising Memphis and New Orleans riots and organizing "Golden Circles,' to stuff the Ballot Box, release Rebel pris oners and resist the draft, turn their at tention to honest industry, loyalty, and love of liberty for all men. Dont mourn Kit much over the death cf Mrs. Surratt nor rejoice so much over the disgraceful disagreement of a rebel sympathizing jury in the acquittal of her son. Cer tainly our friend has got on the wrong pole. "Cant fetch th# Persimmon that wsy." ZDt'j»nr!od. Our much esteemed and valued friend, and fellow citizen, I.J. Cummings, Esq. left on yesterday for his new home in tho west, beyoud the Mississippi River. Jt is unnecessary for us to write a eulogy upon the worth»and public ser ticM of our esteemed friend. He came «mong us when a boy and became one of us, and during all tho time that ho has been in our community he has displayed talent and ability and above all integrity equaled by few and surpass ed none. We say this injust-ce to him whitout—any spirit of flattery—that the commnity in which he will here-after reside may know that it ii with reluct ance we part with so valuable a friend, and DO motives of gain could induce the change, but that a valuable and useful life might be prolonged which has been endangered by close applcation to buis ness which his duties required. On Friday evening last the Alhambia of whiot he was a worthy member, met and as a of esteem presen ted him with a beautiful and elegant •ilver water Cooler and Goblets, bidding him good bye and invoking God's favor upon him io his new field of usefulness.

Resolved, That tho grateful thanks of the people of this State and nation are due to the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, for his fidelity to liberty, and for the zeal, patriotism, firmness and ability with which he ever discharged the important and onerous duties of Secretary of War aud that we will cordially welcome, from tho action of the Senate, his restoration to that high poet of responsibility and honor. Resolved, That Maj, Gen. Philip 11. Sheridan, and Maj. Gen E. Sickles have endeared themselves to tho hearts of all loyal men by their distinguished gal lantry and military services in the re cent war, and especially to the people of this Commonwealth by their heroism and success in protecting and defending us from rebel invasion. Resolved, That the arbitrary and vin dictive removal, by the President, of these illustrious public servants in this critical juncture of our National affairs, and at the dictation of baffled cospira tors, evinces in our judgment a fixed purpose to nullify wise and just meas' ures adopted for the restoration of the Union, and to defy the will of the peo plo constitutionally expressed, is an in sult to the loyal sentiment of the entire nation and an offense deserving excm plary punishment. Resolved, That General U. S. Grant,by his firm and patiriotic protest against tho removal nnd attempted humiliation of his gallant co-laborers; his manifest respect for public sentiment, and for the laws of the land, has our cordial and hearty thanks, and by the highest civic virtues, he has added luster to the matchless greatness of his military fame. The Committee adjourned after the transaetion of some routine business, and then paid their respects in a body, to the Hon. Henry W. Williams, at bis resi dence. The interchange of feeling was of the most cordial and gratifying char acter, and indicated the high esteem in which our standard bearer in tho pres ent campaign is held by his fellow.cit iscns. On motion, Apjourned. AMO.S LUSK, Chairman. ALEX. MITCHELL Sec'y. NEWS SUMMARY.—Tho President has finally issued his amnesty Proclamation- It excludes but a very Btnall portion of those engaged in the rebellion ; yet we are informed by our exchanges that prominent Southern men in-Washington are dissatisfied with the same as it falls •ar short of their expectectations. It is also stated that the Registration Lists will not be reopened for the pur pose of registering the names of those enfrenchised by the Presidents manifesto No further Cabinet changes have as yet been made and there is nothing definite known upon the subject. Great efforts we are informed have been made to have Cummissioneis Rollins ramoved, but so far the project has failed, General Grant is still performing the duties of Secretary of War. His removal as far anything official is known is as distant now as when he took charge of the De partment' THAT Gen GRANT and ANDREW JOHNSON have had a spirited interview, not to say a quarrel, is conceded on all hands, and the early retiring of Gen. Grant from the War Department is predicted. The occasien for the quarrel was the plain language the General em ployed iu telling Mr. JOHNSON that his policy was on the side of the rebellious States and their objects against the will of the loyal people expressed by Coo gress. But the General as plaiuly told the President that he had overreached himself, form the Providence bf God he had delayed the restoration of the South untill it was fft to bo restored. The branch is irreparable, and on grcunds that reflect the greatest credit on the patriotism and firmnesc of General GRANT. "If Congrats E*er Convenes." Some days ago the confidential organ of the President in this city, published a communication fYom one of its readers and disciples, in which occoured the suggestive clause which we hare used as a caption. The Missouri Democcra t alludes to this threatening insinuation as follows: "IF Congress ever convenes." It will convene, though the streets of Wash ington should run with blood. We trust it will not waste three dayo in per forming a duty too long delayed. We trust that this long struggle may yet be ended peacefully, justly, and in accord ance with law, by the removal of the only obstacle to u speedy and safe reconstruc tion. But it can no longer be denied that there is danger. Mr. Johnson has power to do mischief. His position is desperate And if reconstruction should be defeated, so that new legislation should be necessary ; if new turmoil and strife phould arise, with peril to the country ; the responsibility will rest upon those who permit this dangerous man to remain in the Presidential chair." Commuutaitiim*. For the Citizen. THE FAIR. MB. EDITOR.—We think we aro safe in saying that a vast majority of tho readers of the "Press" were both pained and surprised on reading the com muni cation of "Clinton" id last w.ek's issue of .that paper. Pained to see that we had in our midst a citizen so utterly void of the true sp;rit of public enter prise and surprised that he should be so injudicious ».a to give publicity to such an article juat on the cvo of our county lair. T'nero is an Old Maxim that there '.s a "timo for everything," and while we do not wish to deny any one the right of free speech we do say thit ' should either have giveu the committeo of arrangements, tho benefit, of his couu sel aud advice before they made oat the premium list, or otherwise hold his peace until the Fair was over, and theu offer any suggestions he might have jhought proper for their guida nee in the future instead of throwing hinderance in their way, now, when they are striving to their very utmost to render it a sue cesss, and when his advice comes too late to oe of any benefit to them, no matter how good it might be. Why is it that Butler county is always behind hand's. Why is it that she is ever made the jeer of her sister counties. Why cannot we have a 9 good horses, as good cattle, as good sheep as good every thing as other counties ? Why cannot we bo equaf to any, surpassed by none Simply because wo have in our midst these oroakors and fault finders, stand ing ready with their "buckets of cold water" to dash upon the very first spark of Public enterprise they can discover. You never find them ready to lend a helping hand in time of need, but ever ready ami willing to cry out against the faithful efforts of others. But let us all pee more about the great beam in C's oyes. What is it 1 Why it JJ that 81Q0 which he avers the society—has offered for the best trotting or pacing horse, while he thinks it should have been offered for some spec imen of horticulture or agricultural pro duction. Well now in our humble opin ion we think that a horse is then oblest and most valuable thing a farmer, can raise, and if ho is a good one, we think his value will at last bo 100 times as gaeat as any specimen of grapes, straw-, berries carrots or onions, that can oe produced. So if the society tee'e offer* ing SIOO for the best horse aud tut $1 for specimens of any of the latter arti cles they would bo only following the rules of proportion. But let us see how the matter really doss stand. If "C" will inquire into the mattter he will find that the society offers the very moderat® sum of ten dollars for the best trotting horse and ditto for the best pacing horse while the 8100 which is such bear in his eyes, docs not come out of the funds of the society at all, but is a spe cial prize rained by private subscriptio Now If any man or number of men proper to spend that amount of money that manner they certaiuly have a rii to do so. If"C"or any of bis neig bors wish to offer a prizd of 8100 fort best specimen of auy horticultural agricultural product. Let him send t money along, and we assure him no o will raise any objections thereto. B we are going te have a Fair and desp U's predictions it is not going to b< failure, on the contrary the notes preparation which surround us pr< that it will be a grand success, and invite one and all to come, of course "C" says it will be a failure, he will come, all right. We dont wish to fo him to Codle, but to all others we t come Let parents come and bring th children Let husbands come and brir tneir wives. Let lovers come and bring their sweethearts, and let every one, bring something along to exhibit. What if you du fail to get a prize, let it be but an inducement to strive harder to win next year, and if any of you have fast hotses bring them too. The famous Dexter was sold a short time siuce for $50,000; perhaps you have something that is just as good aud just as fast as he is and you dont know it. And after the Fkir is over, every body pleaded with it. and all gone home benefitted aod bapp we will be pleased at atij time to hear from "Clinton." M. or tbe Cititen BENZONIA Mich. Aug. 22nd 1807. MAJ. ANDERSON, Dear Sir I have just returned from Traverse Citj where I have been attending Court. The farms the road are very rapidly cleared up and improved. The wheat has generally been harvested and produced well among the *<lcces»(ul wheat growers, of this region I may mention two brothers named Mun roe who own farm about Ten miles from here on which they settled in 1858 and who have contracted to sell to one man two hundred bushels of white wheat ot their crop for this year. Can any of the old farms in Pennsyl vania do better. You can scarcley form any idea of the almost Tropical growth of vegetation here. To give you an ex ample, on the fifteenth of June or there abouts, I planted some Dahlia bulbs, which I had brought from Butler and had already gprouted. The largest is now six feet and three inches in length is as thick as a mans wrist aud is grow ing about two inches per d*y and tho flowers some of them measure 4 J inches in diameter or thirteen inches in circum ferance. And yet wee have had an un usually dry season. Trees sometimes grow too fast for their own good. Mr. Johnson of this place recently topped a beautfrul white ash on his place, the young branches grew so fast that when a high wind camo it blew them off. We aro likely to have plenty of fruit lier e after while. Peach and pear trees are loaded down now and apple trees are comeing into market. Mr. Hannah of Traverse City has an orchard of forty acres contain l ngaboutsixty hundred applo and forty eight hundred peach trees. lie keeps a man with a hoe in it all the time. Red and Black raspberries, and blackber ries grew wild in boundless profusion and o? superior quality. Aod now what we need is more new cannot you shake out a few from Butler Co. and send them out here. We need men of capital to develope our manufactories, there are numberless good sites to be had for a mere song. Wo want men of energy who are not afraid to put their own shoulders to the wheel. We want public spirited men who arc willing to devote their time and mean's to open up the country and are not afraid to make improvements. To all such the Traverse Region fur« nisbes a boundless field - We have some here now who »re dealing good b!ows 112o r this obje.'t but wa thousands more. Yours Eever. W. J. YOUNO Tdrprrimce. Mn. KDITOR :—This is now the great moral qnesti on of tho day. There can be no question about its deleterious ef fects, hindering alike tho prosperity of Church and Stato. Multitudes feel this, yet are afraid of obtaining the wrath of the manufacturers and venders d* their heads. They would like to sec it put down if somebody else would do it. It is a truth that every i'hurch is or should be a temperance society, but they as churches wield their influence particularly over their own members. We think it is therefore deemed advisa ble that Congregations unite and fjrm socities in connection with each other, by tl'is means outsiders may be reached, in a united tffort ot all professing Chris tians. Intemperance is an evil that should bo opposed at every pjint, openly hold' ing meetings at which the dire conse quences of the same and the blessed re sults of temperance may be exhibited. We should always be willing to op pose evil, and do good. Let us put on the Chiistian's armor.—"The swurd of the spirit," and fight the enemy in an open wnrfare. The cause of temperance is the cause of suffering humanity. Let Tlll'U iitid perauce flooventions, by erwise. I trust some movement will be made to secure the object ia view without delay. I for one will cooperate with aoy true measures likely to socure the end, R —''l say, boy. how far do these recks run in tothe sea ?" asked a j»entleni"au of a half clad tousley haired fisherman's son oo the coast of Scotland. " they dinnn rin ova, *ir; they joost lie still ibere." Meeting •( tlie Union Repub lican State Central Commit tee. We clip the following from the Pitta burgh Commercial of the 6th inst. The committee appear to he actively engaged in the discharge of their duties, and speak confidently of a Republican tri umph in the coming election. The Union Republican State Central Committee of Pennsylvania, met at the Monongahela House, in this city t< yes» terday afternoon at threo o'clock. Hon Frank Jordan, of Bedford county, chair man of the Committee, presided, and George Bergner, Esq , of Harri sburg acted as Secretary. The proceedings were brief and har monious, and the liveliest confidence was manifested as to the result of 'he campaign, by the members of tho Com mittec, who embraced some of the rep resei'tativc men of the Union Kepublic can party in the several sections of tbe State, and who reported the must en couraging facts relative to tho complote organization of our forces. Advice we.e received through the Chairman,s Col. Jordan, from nearly every part of the Commonwealth, showiug that the fiieods of freedom and humanity will be amply prepared to re-assert their strength at the ballot-box, and once more to viudicate tho cherished princi ples upon which our Government was founded, aud without which it cannot be maintained. Active measures were taken t*> bring out the whole vote of the Union Republican party, and such as turauces were given that can leave no doubt of a renewed triumph for our po litical principles this (all. These cheer* ing indications of the vigilance of the Union Republicans in all parts of the Stato are amoug the most positive "signs of the times" of the true sentiment of the people in this crisis, and, therefore, we feel prepared to assert that our nom inee lor Supreme Court Hon Henry W. Williams of this couuty, and a decided ninjirity ol tiio Legislative branch of the Stato Government will bo elected beyond a doubt in the coming contest. The Committee unanimously passed a series of resolutions, which were offered by the Hon. Edward McPherson of Adams county : and reaffirmed by the Union Executive Committee of this county at its meeting on Mcnday the 9th inst. as published in this paper, to which our n-aders are ret'ered. There was some amusing scenes at the polls in Nashville on election day. One new born freeman presented his marriage licence instead of a reg istration certificate. Another bro't hiß wife with him to the ballot box.— "Sue can't vote," said he, "but bress God, I fotch her along to sec that I kin, by golly." MARRIEI) THOMPSON— ISRYSON— An*. >8,18(17. b.v R»r. W.
