As our uew terms for 186$ seem to hat e escaped the notice of many of our friends, we again call attention to them, in order to pre vent. misunderstanding.. To all who pay is advance,or within a month atter the com mencement of their subscriptions, the price will be Two Dom...tits per year—subscribers served by city carriers being charged r wry iI:NT9 extra. All who do not pay in adsance, or within a month, will be and Two Dem i...NW, AND FIFTY CENTS, ald those who wait until the expiration of the year, THREE Dol.- LARS. We have had some 'complaint that the lbniter price of the paper was too high, and avail ourself of this arrangement to avoid it in future. Those who think they eannot afford more than Two Dollars for a paper have the efiance afforded them by making prompt payment, And those who neglect to do so must expect to pay the extra fifty cents. Thow rafca trill Le: otriray adhered t.,, and we shall publiiih this notice sufficiently long for all to see it, so that none will have an excuse frir saying that they did not know Mir,precise terms. A number of i,:abseribers - paid in advance at the old rates, before we decided upon ma king a change. In all instances, the extra sum will be allowed them upon their next year's subscription, being at the rate of three months for each fifty cent, in excess. 6 6 Loyal 99 and 4 • Loyalty." The daily Republican copies ." from the latest edition of Webster's Unabridged," the following - definitions of these two much abused words, for the " special use and be hoof of the editor of the Observer:" LOYAL, a. [Fr. loyal, &c., &c.. Lat. legalis, from ler, leffizt, Fr. b y, lai lei, law-1 1. Devoted to . the maintenance of law ; di,po , ed to uphold the constituted authority ; faithful to the lawful govi•rnment, he!her parental, civil, or divine.• LOYALTY, la. the state or quality of being loyal. Mr"".l:4galty . . . being derived from [Fri 10i, expresses, properly„,that fidelity which one owes according to law,—and does not necessarily include that attachment to the royal person, which, happily, we in En gland have been able further to throw into the world."—French. " LOYAL MEN, it. Those who sustained the Government during the great Rebellion."— Urea. After reading these definitions, we arc confirmed in the view heretofore expressed, that our cotemporary, its lavish use of the terms retiTred to, either did not understand their meaning until the editor turned to Web ster to ascertain it, or employed them with.a tnll knowledge that it was misconstruing the - slime. It has invariably alluded to Radicals as the "loyal men." and to the Radical or ganization as the party of " loyalty," the in ference being that their opponents were all " disloyal." Taking Websterand Grant, who are accepted by the Republican, as our guide, it Is an easy matter to' show that the terms oufr,lit to be used in exactly the Opposite sense from that employed by our cotem porary. The Democratic party is the may_ one which, through its whole history, under all circumstances and in every crisis of the •nation, has been steadfastly • devoted to the maintainance of law disposed to uphold the constitt4ted authority," and consistently " faithful toi the lawfel•government, whether parental, civil or divine." It was the only one which " sustained the Government during the great relidlion," to the end that the Constitution, the; ulwark of our liberty, and the highest authority in the land, might he maintained unimpaired, and handed down to posterity the same pure and beneficent in strutnent transmitted te . • us by our fittheis. The Radical party, on the other hand, has signal ! ized its career by innumerable violation 4 of 1 these definition,. Founded upon a direct de -1 fiance of the binding decision of the Su preme Court, it disphiyed its hostility to law by sending. armed emissaries into the South I and the Territories to create insurrections among their people. • It announced its in tention to overturn the guaranteed rights of nearly half the • States in the Union, and elected a President upon that idea. Having by it.. vindictiveness 'and sectional agitation accomplished its purpose of driving the South into secession, it availed itself of the war which followed to brealt, down every ban ner of constitutional law that stood in the war of it, ambition. Free'speech and free dom of opinion were ruiltha,sly trampled under foot, thousands of honest citizens east into dungeons for Tin other crime than daring to utter what the ruling powers at the time did; not approve, States divested of their most sacred rights, civil law made to give Way to. military, •appropriations voted with out the slightest regard to legal restrictions, and a reign of terror, corruption' and ex travagance continued tilt six years that has few parallels in the world's history. Not satisfied with this infamous record, it has gone a step further, and to•duv keeps out of the Union ten Stites that are nq much enti tied to representation 'as Pennsylvania or \ew• York, in disregard of the plainest pro vkions of the Constitution, rind to the ruin of the be.t intrret.t , of the entire nation. Are we not right, then, in claiming, as we often have, that the real "disloyal" party of Ameriva ig the Ittaieal One, which Int, done so much to we the ties of public affec tion, bring our institution. into contempt, and injure the peoerity of tire• country? Front tie• tiro moment of it. inception down to the lore-ent dty, it hay heott the fonleqt enemy of everythinz that is •• to the spirit or I{.2publivan government. Born in eritne,mirsed by turmoil, and trained to corruption, if Plovitlenec had been dis posed to wreak Ilk vengeance, upon the 'United, States for some awful , iolation ;of His will, ht• coald not have sent a more blasting curse than the advent of the Itadir;al party, and the time is not distant when ita memory will Ix• regarded by the mass of the people with the same horror they would en tertain thr some great natural convulsion or terrible pestilence. We hope our cotemporary, in its future allusions to the " loyal men" of the land will take pains to give the expression its fit application. IT is unnecessary- that we should be con-, standy repeating the fart, to satisfy the pub lic that the Observer is the most largely cir culated weekly in the county. - Every person who is acquainted with our people is aware that in whatever portion of the county lie visits the Obseryer has more readers than any other paper. We make the assertion without hesitation or Par of contradiction, that an advertisement inserted in our col umns will reach one-third more people than the same iu either of the other county pa pers. The rapidity with which our subscrip tion list is increasing leads us to believe that before the year ends we w ill have twice as large a list as the most widely circulated of our cotemporaries. 1 • WRodell • The lecture of Wendel: iir tps - on: I Lost Arts, postponed froth Wednesday even ing on account of his fitilure to reach the city in time, was • given on Saturday-evening; Mr. Phillips explaining that the cause of his :disappointment was owing to erroneous in formation relative to the. railroad connections, :It was a learned,uble and eloquent attempt to show- that nith all its boasting the present generation has made but little advancement -over the ancients in the knowledge of the sciences, and in many respects has even fall 'en behind titem. • The 411bject was entirely new to a vast majority or the audience. and the large' amount of valuable information .given, the novelty of its statements, the ele gant style in which it was prepared, and the graceful and easy manner, of the speaker, gave the lecture a fascination such as few in any of our courses have possessed. It occupied about an hour In its deliyery, and Was listened to with the closest attention. At the termination of the regular lecture, as previously announced, and at the request of many of lur Radical citizens, Mr. Phillips spoke about an hour on * political toples, dur ing which he proved himself to be even a more effective orator than before. The re sult showed that the Radicals who bad drawn him out "reckoned without their boTit." About half of the hour was occupied in a review of the events and causes of the war, from an Abolition stand-point, and' the bal ance to unsparing criticisms upon the past and probable record of the Republican party. He fired hot shot, right and left, claimed that the Radical masses were again to be betrayed, alluded sneeringly to "the late lamented martyr," and castigated Grant with unrelt nt ing severity, and to Considerable length. No man, he declared, who was too timid or ig norant to give his views on public questions, was fit to be or would•be chosen next Presi dent of the United States! The Grant peo ple were indignant beyond description, the anti-Grants were, delighted, a good many hesitating ones Were placed more a-straddle the ferice Than ever, and the Democrats felt tickled And displayed their emotions by manifestations. anything but consolatory to their opponents. Mr. Phillips is a medium sized man, of fifty-live or sixty years of age, pleasing ap pearance, and mild and attractive manners. Ile wears light side whiskers, and his gray hair is so thin that it leaves the larger part of his heti(' exposed. His manner of speak ing is much like Edward Everett's, though his sentences are more nervous and prepared Without any attempt at polish. He uses no notes, makes few gestures, moves about but little on the stage, and generally speaks_in a frank, conversational tone, regardless of pro during an effect. After hearing him ou Sat urday we wonder no longer at his wide re putation. His opinions we of course abomi nate as fill good citizens should, but candor compels us to say that we have heard but one or two public speakers who approached him in the peculiar qualities which - f s 'o to make up genuine oratory. s - jan9-tf DELICatTFUL CAHR FOR Till: The gassiiks of the city have had il rare mor sel to wet their appetites upon in an incident that occurred on Saturday- afternoon, and came to a climax on Tuesday before Justice Curtze. It seems that a young man named' Milo Pelton Nils been keeping company for some time with a daughter of S. Finch, to the intense annoyance of the latter individual. On the afternoon named Pelton hired a ear- . riage, and, accompanied by Oliver Kennedy, - went to the lady's residence fin the purpose of taking her out riding. Another lady, it is said, was to go with them, and the circum stances look much as if a runaway match was on the tapis, though the parties deny the gentle impeachment The irascible papa got wind of the. transaction, and bursting upon the parties with a brick-bat in his hand, produced .a consternation in their midst easier to imagine than describe. Pelton took to his-heels, followed cloSely by several brick-bats, and Finch, as one of the witnesses testified, having applied an umbrella to his daughter, forced her to return home, where she remains a victim of "arbitary arrest" The up-shot of the affair was t suit brought by Pelton against Finch for as4ault and bat tery, which, as all such cases do, attracted a crowd of. interested-spectators. The -.Court, Justice Curtze presiding, sensibly pat both parties under bonds to keep the . peace, and here the matter rests until the next act. TUE C. of DEnuati.—The much talked about and anxiously nwnited trial 'of Julius Degmeir, the "loyal" reverend, Indicted for embezzlement of public funds, on oath of J. W. Douglass, Esq., Colleator of Internal Rev enue, commenced on Tuesday morning, and has been in progress during, the week be fore the U. S. District court_ The main witnesses on behalf of the Government are Mr. Douglass and the employees in his office, whose testimony is exceedingly: damaging to the prisoner. The rulings of the Court -have 'invariably been against the defence, and there is a common belief - that Lis conviction is nlinost certain, though the sentiment of mercy, in consideration of his past position, and the temptations placed be fpre him, finds many advocates. Mr. Degmeir has been confined in the county jail ever since his last arrest, from width he is taken to the Court room at the opening of each day's proceedings. He looks depressed and haggard, and it is plain that he . suffers exerutiating mental agony. ..1 man of education and cultivated - taste, his position is deplorable indeed, and furniShei a sad commentary on the frailties of human character, and the .chants of earthly thr tune. ERIK CITY IRON WOILKS.—This extensive establishment, at the corner of State and Twelfth streets, continues to occupy its posi tion, so long maintained, as the leading man ufactory in North-Western Pennsylvania. The dull season which has stopped so many of its rivals, or obliged them to work on re duced time, seems to have effected it but slightly, and it. maintains its prospirity with little perceptible diminution. The concern makes a speciality of - the celebrated Brad ley' engine, which is every daygrowiog more in favor with machinists, and bids fair to re volutionize the thole steam power system.

Besides these engines, the comp Any continue to fill orders for the old styles or Engines, Boilers,Oil Stills and Tanks; Circular Saw Mills -aid Head Blocks; and everything else in the line of a first-elan - manufactory: To yin very great sorrow we are obliged this week to part company with a number of dearly beloved patrons who have been upon our list several-years. ' They are of the class who believe in taking a paper for the sake of encouraging it, never for a moment deeming that it is of the slightest - importance to Ru ttish the editor with a cent of cash. The faithful fellows have stuck to us "closer than a brother," and Would probably continue to do so fur life. We have too much charity, though, to impose upon them any longer the heavy burden of our "support," and so part company with them sadly and reluctantly. Profitable patrons, adieu! May your sleep be disturbed with no visions of gaunt and ghost ly printers clamoring for ,their pay ; and in the hotter clime to which you are &mad may there be no little printers' imps to pinch your skin and stick.you with their tiny, red hot forks, for the sins done in the flesh!

They have selected from their stock•a large number of articles, con sisting of cloaks, shawls, dress patterns, Bal moral and hOop skirts, &c., to. be given to their customers. To prevent partiality being shown each package is numbered, and the customer selecting a number secures the package with the same number. The 4xic- CeS.4 this novel plan of advertising has met with during the past week has compelled Messrs. Merrill, & Co. to add a large number of new presents, and we advise all intending to purchase dry goods to test this plan, as it is one of the best inducements yet (*red. Card of Thanks. The writer, who speaks for many of his fellow-citizens, desires to acknowledge,, the obligations which this city and its people owe the zealous and indefatigable pastor of St. Patrick's, Rev. Thomas Carroll. Since his advent a reformation and improvement have been effected among his people which-chul leng,es admiration ; and although no flowerets are strewn in his pathway, the prayers of crateful citizens are sowing the seeds of flowers that will have an_ everlasting bloom, and be a crown of recompense for him in a better and brighter wnrld. It is only there merits like his can be rewarded. He has grap pled with and banished from families and from our streets the demon of intemperance. lle is giving the rising generation under his charge the blessings of education that will tit them in brave the cares and _make them good citizens and good ehristians.— Nine hundred communicants on Christmas day and five hundred on New 'Year's day, at test his efficiency, the moral improvement of his people, and their cordial co-operation with him. There is no home to-day in Erie, no not one home, where his benign and sal utary influence is not felt and acknowledged. In a few years his work will be indestructi ble. Let us, therefore, as people •who feel proud of him, greet him, bless him, and re turn thanks to him, in the beginning of this new year, 1868. GRATITUDE.

As the Gazette continues to publish the Post office list, with the comment that 'it is "published by authority, the Gazette having the largest circulation of any paper published in the city," it map be well for 'the public to know that the DU is given to any paper which asks for it, that no pay is allowed for its publication, and that its appearance is no criterion of the circulation of any paper..
