Why Should American, Divide I
Under theabove caption, the Philadelphia
Sum—the oldest American journal in Pennsyl
vania—holds the following language, which we
commend to the serious attention of such of
oar readers, if there be such, as are likely to be
misled by some of the papers in the State pro
fessedly American, but so wavering in their
course, that it haii become necessary for them
to define their "position" shout once a month,
in order that the public may have a chance to
guess of their political whereabouts, with a
probability of finding it. Let men of reason
aid principle read and reflect :
"One of the most singular features in the
present campaign is that men of the came po
litical faith, and striving for the same political
suds. should oppose sash nthor 5. y
support to the candidates selected for official
positions in the battle which is about to take
place in Pennsylvania politics. The American
party in enlisted in opposition to the principles
of the Democratic party. It maintains an un
yielding opposition to Roman Catholic Irish in
fluence ; to every phase of foreign interference
in the policy and institutions of our country; to
the freedom with which freshly imported pau
pers and criminals are perpetrated upon the
rights of Aar rican freemen in violating the pu
rity of the ballot•box ; to the Romish doctrine
of excluding the Protestant Bible from our pu•
belie schools and to the extension of slavery in
to territory already free. Thep, are the princi
plea of our party. They actuate and govern
every honest member of it, and it is the triumph
of these principles to which every earnest Am
e•ican eventually looks,
The Democratic party is pledged to oppose
every one of these principles, both by its creed
and actions : and it is the enemy of all that A
mericans hold dear to them as cardinal princi
ples in the future welfare and government of
the country.
It is, therefore, impossible to explain the
course pursued by men professing to be Amer
icans, who are determined to secure the success
of this party—which they know to to be their
sworn and inveterate enemy—by engendering
strife and detection in the American ranks; by
dividing and distracting the party, and by rais.
ing a factious opposition among friends, be.
tween whom there is and can bo no essential
difference but upon one single principle. In
Pennsylvania we have pledged ourselves—with
almost united strength of the American party
—to the support of David Wilmot. The step
was not taken without mature deliberation; not
without convincing evidence of Mr. Wilmot's
stern and inflexible adhesion to the principles
we have professed. We know that with &union
a united harmonious action of our American
friends in Philadelphia, his election is certain,
and every true American should yield his earn.
eat hearty support to the only ticket that is an.
stained by the political heresies of false Amer
icanism, and untainted by the enormities of Le
cofocoism.
The faction that has instigated a division, by
bringing into the field another ticket which is
headed by Mr. Hazlehurst, is unquestionably
influenced by a determination to defeat the A
merican patty, and elect Mr. Packer. This is
the single, only explanation for their course.—
It is a crafty deception that is practiced upon
honest and patriotic men, which the perpetra
tors themselves are too lame and feeble to dig
guise.
Geissinger is doing a most tremendous
to,Onen up town. We paid him a visit last
wesk and found him up to his elbows in bust•
nese. Boats nod wagons loading and unload•
mg at his warehouse, and customers crowding
his splendid store. Geissinger is a wbole•soul•
ed, clevet.hearted, jolly brick, and it gives us
pleasure to note his popularity and his rapid
strides towards becoming a millionaire.

UNION COUNTY CONVENTION,
The Chairmen of the Republican and Amer.
ican County Committees of this county, have
issued a call, which appears under our editorial I
head, for a Union County Convention, to meet
in this borough, on Tuesday, the 11th day of '
August next, for the purpose of nominating a
county ticket, and "doing such other business
as the interest of the party may require." This
call is but in accordance with the wishes of the
members of the two parties, and will be sanc
tioned with a hearty good will.
It is perhaps unnecessary for us to make any
further remarks at this time, on the proposed
Convention, but we shall venture a suggestion,
which we hope may be fully considered endue.
ted upon, relative to the selection of delegates.
It is this—to prevent any unfairdealings in the
Convention, we propose that each township,
borough, and separate election district be rep.
resented.in the same by one Republican and
one American delegate. We think this would
be the means of putting down any feelings of
ill treatment which otherwise might arise to
disturb the harmony of the two parties. An
other suggestion we have to make is that great
care be taken in the selection of proper candi
dates. Men should be selected whose nomina
tion will tend more towards healing past diffi
culties, than inhaling old sores. Good and true
men we want and must have nominated. With
a good ticket and a clear field, with the present
distracted state of the Locofoco party in our
county, our majority this fall will be unproce
dented.
The Crops.
The crops, all over the country, says the
Germantown Telegraph, are, beyound ques
lion, as abundant as they have been within
twenty years, and yet the amount of croaking
kept up to within a couple of weeks, has been
particularly loud and impertinent. We told
our readers in early Spring what we then hon
estly believed would be the state of the corps
as the season progressed ; and now it turns
out that all we said and predicted is coming
to pass. It is time enough when there are
substantial reasons to alarm the country on
sumptuary matters and thus strengthen the
hands of speculators: but to do so permenent
ly, and ignorantly of the real condition of the
corps, is inflicting upon the community a very
serious injury. Even in Virginia, where the
wheat crop was, according to the croak
ers, a total failure, the news now is, that it is
"very fine," and the harvesting has commen
ced favorably. The truth is, when a person.
in traveling half a dozen miles from home,
sees, a few unpromising fielcaof grain; or a
farmer here and there fails in his crop, he at
once proclaims a general failure I We have
even heard farmers, observing men and not
easily misled, insist that the wheat crop, as
they knew, would fall very far short of an av
erage, and they even now contend that present
appearances are deceptive, and the crop is not
a full one. As an offset, we have noticed that
they hold the same opinion pretty generally
every year. The crops never exactly come up
to their ideas of what they ought to be.
MORE OF THAT "SPLIT."
Our honest, trullptelling neighbor up street I
denies in tote the assertion we made a week a•
go, to the effect that the Locofoco party of this
county are badly split on the "goose" or Main
Line question. Of course it is natural that
onr Democratic neighbor should endeavor to
bide the awful rent in his political "trowsersi"
but like the little boy's dickey, it will stick out.
We repeat it again, and do it without a fear of
successful contradiction, that the division in
the Democratic ranks in this county is not and
if we may believe democratic leaders, men
who are high in their party's estimation will
not be satisfactorily settled. We have heard
old line democrats assert and in the most posi•
tire manner, that they will vote for David Wit.

In this connection we might say that the ut
most harmony prevails in the American and
Republican ranks, here. There is but one de
sire and that is to defeat the Sham Democracy.

THE "SKIES BRIGHT."
Day after day vie become more satisfied that
David Wilmot will be our next Governor; it is
admitted by all his opponents that he is one of
the Srst men of the State, and that he posses-
Res rare faculties of self-reliance—he refused to
bow subserviently to the sinister and corrupt
demands of party and to sacrifice his own in
dependence, when it was clearly wrong. Whilst
speaking of David Wiltnut the IVest Cheater
Republican remarks, "Judge Wilmot has a
powerful and persuasive eloquence, and upon
the question of Slavery he occupies the posi•
lion of the Democratic party of Pennsylvania
from the days of Jefferson down, until it assu
med that Slavery was nati3nal and freedom A
mere sectional institution. He occupies the
position on the subject which had been uni
formly held by the great majority of the Demo.
cracy. He has not swerved from the ancient
landmarks. His sole and only fault is, that he
has to smother the convictions of conscience ;
to forget the traditions of his fathers—the doc
trines of Penn—at the demands of those who
desire more slave Territory—more slave States
—more slave Senators in Congress, instead of
fiolishly abandoning any principle because
his party was drifting away from it; he chooses
rather to embody it in the laws of the land;
and hence the famous 'Wilmot Proviso.'
"The separation of the question involved in
the coming election, front party trammels—
their consideration from another and indepen•
dent st..nd•point, is a consummation devoutly
to be wished. The tyranny of party aims to
shut out the light of truth front the horizon—to
mislead the judgment, to fetter men who boast
of freedom. As the conductor of an indepen•
dent newspaper, aiming only to build up the
prosperity of the country, and to fester the in-
stitution of our fathers in their purity, we shall
solicit the attention of our readers, as we shall
venture from time to time to discuss the ques-
tions in the canvass. The cry of "Democracy"
and" Abolition," will doubtless be heard; and
men who are controlled by prejudice will be
governed thereby ; but the reasoner, the true
patriot and the good citizen, will treat them as
an imposture practiced upon his understuhding
and regard them with deserved contempt.—Tel.
An Incident of the Sale of the Main
Line.
In the editorial correspondence of the Pitts•
burg Journal, dated Philadelphia, June 27th,
occurs the following :
Everybody of course knows Bill P---, of I
Columbia, who has long been a favored benfi
ciary of State road in the way of coal contracts.
The late superintendent, Mr. Baker, favored
Bill P-- with a contract for the delivery of
fifteen thousand tons of coal, which was seal
ed but a few days before Mr. Baker resigned ,
the office. As another matter of course, Bill
P— was active in efforts to prevent the sale
of the Main Line. He was useful in pro.-
ring "subscriptions," from employees of the
State works, to cover the expenses of Henry
S. Mott's—the late Mott's—appliention for an
injunction to prevent the sale. But the sale
was not to be prevented, and Bill F— was
"in at the death," indulging the fugitive hope,
doubtless something would turn up to preserve
the Main Line to the Democracy. 'Jut the
inexorable Auctioneer proceeded with the ten
der of his gcods, and after a long pause ob
tained the bid of seven millions five hundred
thousand dollars. He dwelt long on the sin
gle
bid, asking for more. Be begged for an
other hundred thousand, failing in that he as
ked for even fifty thousand more. At length
the hammer fell, an attachee of the State road
who stood beside dejected Bill P.—, pluck
ed the skirt of Bill's coat convulsively, ex
claiming in an unaffected anguish; "My God
Bill, she's gone!" Bill ejaculated an assen
ting groan, and •'she" was gone, sure enough.
The benignant mother of a thousand rich
schemes of plunder was "gone" at last, and
why should not the fattened recipients of her
bounty mourn over that memorable going out?'
And so prolific a parent of good things was
fitly classed in the feminine gender--"My God
Bill, she's gone!" was but an appropriate
form of affectionate regard wrung from the
grateful sense of many benefactors old Mother
Main Line had showered upon Democratic
children.

wo are also enab:ed to say, that it is in every
sense what it professes to be, and we do not
hesitate to pronounce it the finest preparation
for the head and hair which has so far been
devised by human ingenuity. We have seen it
arrest threatened baldness, and restore to
the head its original profusion of natural and
glossy hair, and when the latter has been pre.
maturely tinged with gray, we have seer, it,
like magic, restore the colors of youth and
health. The distinguished property of this, we
might truly say, miraculous "Restorative" is
that it gives to the persona who use it, the same
head of hair that they wore in youth, thus act•

shows.o.gilat advantage the immense mineral
and africultural wealth of the country. It is
in the midst of flourishing settlements, where a
large business is now done, and where there is
a cash market. It is not difficult to perceive I
the immense wealth and business importance to
which this district is destined t, arrive. It will
supply the vast trade of the Lakes with coal,
and a large lumberin g district of country east,
of it with agricultural produce. In the Bottle. I
meat over 20,000 acres are now in a high state
of cultivation.
Here is solid ground for future progress and I
increase. This is nn unavoidable consequence
of its resources and location. How people can I
be so infatuated as to go to the hardworking
and unwholesome regions of the West, whilst I
such great advantages are at their doors, we
are at a loss to conjecture.

The deep ravines, or runs, expose some of
the out crops of the larger beds on the south
east sides of the hills. On the north-west they
are stiill deeply covered with rocks, the sand•
stones and bituminous shales.
Each of these coal beds is overlaid with a
stratum of 8 or 10 meshes of slaty cannel enal,
and they all rest on fire clays. Iron ores,
namely, carbonate of iron and brown Immo•

the latter in the superincumbent shales. But

The Itidgwity lar:d this contains colds, iron

the spot, and soon the means of transportation
