A Little plain talk.
"We are about to perform one of the most
unpleasant things connected with the publi
cation of a oonntry newspaper—a thing, that
we would gladly refrain from doing, did not
nature's first law—the law of self preserva
tion, goad us to its fierformance. Do not
start, kind reader ; we are not yet going to
commit homicide, nor suicide- We are going
to do our best to keep this paper going and
live,.- without the commissiou of any such
grave crimes. Wo desire earnestly, to obvi.
ate the necessity of stealing for a living ; by
reminding some hundreds of our subscribers
that they owe us for the Democrat ; and
that we cannot live on faith alone; nor put off
our creditors much longer on mere promises
to pay. We are obliged therefore to say to
those who are indebted to us on subscription
or for job work, that xre must have our pay.
The coat, to us, of every thing that goes to
make up our paper is nearly fifty per cent
greater than heretofore. Most of the neces
sary articles of food and clothing are doubled
in cost. The farmer finds a ready market
and remunerative prices for the products of
his labor. The Mechanic demands more for
his labor. But then such trash as they have
for money now-a-daya!— green as it is, we
must have some of it. All these are the
natural and necessary results of the monster
green back paper bubble, which like a vast
balloon hangs over and overshadows all
things. All things, did we say I We will ex
cept the editor of a Democratic country
newspaper, who furnishes it at 51.50 the old
pnoe. He, isn't shaded by green backs nor
any thing else. The storms of executive per
secution beat pitilessly upon him. The an
gry waves of abolition fanaticism and rnob
ocracy dash against him. The well filled vials
of clerical wrath are poured upon his devoted
head, but he heeds them not—he goes straight
forward, trusting to the generosity of his pa
trons, the honesty of his cause and in the
justice of Him who doeth all things well.
When we commenced writing, we intended
in a few plain words to say to our delinquent
subscribers, that they must pay up, but we
fear that we have grown a little ambiguous,
and will close by assuring those who fail to
take the hint, that we shall hereafter attempt
to make the matter plain, to the most obtuse
understanding.
War News.-
The army of the Potomac has been so ex
clusively used for political warfare of late,
that it's " on to Richmond" progress has been I
very slow. The Democratic portion of it is
now, either in or within 6afe distance of the
treDcbes at Washington; large details of the
abolition portion, having been made to carry
the election in New York. The fall rains
and mud will probably set in before they
will join the army again. Thus closeth the
third year of this cruel war—a war, never
honestly prosecuted, by those in power, for
the union, but, one which has now been di
verted from a war for the nigger, to a war
against the Democratic party and for the
spoils of office. How long ? God of our Fath
ers, how long, will the nation have to drink
of this cup of bitterness 7
A GROSS OUTRAGE — About twelve o'clock
on Tuesday night an Abolition mob appeared
in front of the Democratic head quarters, and
assaulted with stones-, bricks <sbc., all who at
tempted to pass in or out.
Several persons were severely injured be
fore those in the room were aware of what
was going on. When a desent was made the
cowardly assassins fled— Lycoming Gazette.
Do You KNOW OF OXE ?—Reader, do you
know of a single loud-mouthed, brawling Ab
olitionist, that has professed" to be full of
fight and fury in this war, who has been
drafted, and means to go ?
No not one ! They all think that democrats
who labored to prevent the disunion which
their sectional" principles have caused, ought
to go and fight out a .war which their own
disunion principles and abolition fanaticism
has brought upon- fhe country !
-
car The Republican editors are greatly
alarmed lest the Domocraey shall 'embarrass'
the Administration. To read these papers
one would suppose the Administration as ea
sily embarrassed as a young girl while enter
taining her first beau. It must be a pity to
embarrass a thief while stealing your treas
urer.

Indiana Democratic-
In the absence of the green back ipfluence
and military discipline—used in carrying the
Ohio and Pennsylvania elections, —the Indi
ana State elections hare gone Democratic.
Just aa Pennsylvania and Ohio would have
lone without the interference of imported
eoter*.
The State Election.*
The election for Governor of this State,
has resulted in the triumph of the abolition
candidate, Andrew G, Curtin, by about fifleen
thousand majority. It is useless to specu
late upon the causes which have led to the
defeat of the Democratic candidate- It is on
ly necessary to examine the number of votes
cast in this State on Tuesday, October 13tb,
1863, to ascertain the cause. That George
IV. Woodward had a large majority of the
legal votes cast in this State for Governor,
,no honest man can for a moment doubt
But the question will bo asked why he was
not elected 1 The reason why he was not
elected was because the Abolition Adminis
tration at Washington and its minions in
this State adopted an extensive system of
colonization, by which thpy were enabled to
throw into Pennsylvania some forty or fifty
thousand men, who voted on the second
Tuesday of October, without having the le
gal qualification of voters. That was the
way in which the honest Democracy of
Pennsylvania was defeated. When election
| officers and window committees resisted the
votes of non residents, their qualms of con
science were speedily silenced by an applica
tion of greenbacks, aud if that failed the pre
tended voter was marched off to some other
election district where the consciences of
the election officers were fully abolilionized.
The vote cast, it is said, will reach five
hundred and twenty thousand. It is the
heaviest ever cast in the Slate. In 1860 it
was four hundred and ninety-two thousand,
twenty-eight thousand less than that cast at
the last election, and yet it is positively as
serted that Pennsylvania has sent over two
hudred thousand soldiers to the war, the
most of whom are still in the service
Whence came this great increase of votes
when the State was so heavily depleted of
its pipulation to furnish soldiers for the
[ war ? There can he but one answer to the
question. They must have come from oth
er States. It is not possible that so large a
number of legal voters should for a period of
years, have failed to exercise the elective
franchise. Such a proposition is absurd.—
The abolition party in 1862 polled their full
party vote. Their defeat last year left thqp
little to hope for from the honest yeomanry
of Pennsylvania, and they kuew that unless
they resorted to fraud and colonization they
had no earthly chance of carrying the State
election. The declaration that the adminis
tration at "Washington could not afford to
lose Pennsylvania, is enough to satisfy any
one acquainted with the principal characters
of that, administration, that they would not
scruple about the means to be employed
for that purpose. Millions of dollars were
expended for that purpose alone.
The Democratic party in Pennsylvania
never polled as farge a vote as that cast for
George W. "Woodward at the late guberna
torial election, the large accessions to out
ranks of men who have heretofore voted and
acted with the Republican party, were not
sufficient to overcome the large importation
of voters from other States, who were Beut
here to stifle the voice of the honest freemen
of Pennsylvania. Rut the same despotism
and tyranny which drove the honest, think
ing and reading portion of the Republican
party into the Democratic ranks, still exist,
and, by this time next year, will have swell
ed the Democratic column to t-uch gigantic
proportions that colonization and fraud will
neither be tolerated nor attempted. That
we will elect our President next year, we
have no more doubt of than wo have of our
own existence.
" Truth crushed to caith will rise again,
The eternal years of Ood arc here ;
But Error, woi nded, writhes in pain,
And dies amidst its worshippers."— Fottsrille
Standard.
Daniel S, Dickenson.
Daniel S Dickenson, whose loyalty the
Gazette has prated so much about, said at a
meeting in New York on the 15th of Decem
ber, 1860.
" It is not an amendment of the constitu
tion that is wanted merely—the laws are
well enough—but it is their execution accord
ing to the spirit in which they were enacted,
that is called f>r and demanded on the part
of the Sontb. They insist upon the great
principle of the equality of the States, they
are entitled to it upon every consideration
that can influence men, communities and
States. The constitution makes them equal
—they are equal in the sight of honest men,
and are equal in the sight of God, and woe
to hiin who undertakes to degrade and tram
ple them down."
Hear him again:
'' I know there are those among us who
say that the South do not intend to secede ;
the}- say that this is an unnecessary alarm :
they 6ay they can be coerced and driven back
in thetr position. All thai is necessary b
firmness. But the South have seen for yeais
these little rivulets of opposition forming up
on the hills and forcing down through the
gorges, until they form the black and bitter
waters of one great sea of abolition, which
threatens to overwhelm and engulf them.
" Let those who believe that this evil can be
averted, and that the Union can be preferred
byjorce, attempt that method : but let good
men, every true patriot, set to work to cor
rect the public sentiment. The South has
been goaded and irritated until it has arrived,
in a good degree, at a point of despertion
The South eares little about the mere election
of Mr. Lincoln—-they viewed it as the devel
opment of a public sentiment, as a last and
final evidence of the sentiment of the free
States."
Great Daniel, how many greenbacks did it
take to charge you from a secessionist, to a
" loyal leech."
JC3E" "My party, sir, will not lie in idle
ness," said an abolitionist. " Very true
sir, " retorted his opponent, " your party is
neither chargeable with lying in idleness nor
idleness in lying."
COMMUNICATIONS.
For The Democrat.
NICHOLSON, October 29,1863.
MR. EDITOR :—The " brown October" is on
the wane—its remaining days are numbered
and few—its golden-hued forests are either
denuded, or the withered leaves rustle mourn
j fully as they brush against the swaying
: branches ; and the tread of the squirrel and
pheasant is no longer concealed from the
sportsman's ear by the moss-clad rocks and
springing grass. The nuts are all gathered
and stored away in the garret, to add cheer
to the coming lonely winter nights. Pippins
and Russets and Greenings, and all the finer
varieties of winter fruit, are being housed or
sent to market—cider barrels are in great de
mand, and buckwheat cakes smoke upon the
breakfast table, coaxing the appetite and giv
ing grace to many an otherwise over frugal
meal.
You, undoubtedly,have made the discovery,
in the long ago time which dates back eveu
{ beyond our school-boy days, that buckwheat
I cakes are one of the "institutions of this
| once great and " ga-lorious" country, and en
j ter largely into the household economy of ev
| erv family in the land, at about this season of
; the year, For my own taste in 6uch matters,
i I dd not feel as though I am in any degree
i accountable to others, and yet I am quite
| willing to acknowledge an undue fondness
; for these seasonable luxuries. Their a4vont,
|in my opinion, should be welcomed with
feasts and rejoicings, similar to those with
| which the vintage is welcomed on the vine
| clad Rhine, or the feast of Roses in the sunny
■ vales of Cashmere. 1 make no pretention to
1 knowedge of your feelings upon the subject,
j but I'll warrant most of your readers enjoy
I these clear, bracing October days none the
j less from the fact that buckwheat cakes,
| swimming in butter, and garnished with gold
:en syrup have been added to the morning
! meal.
Dealers in cattle, produce, game, peltry,
&c.. have bien quite busy scouring the country
and shipping vast quarntities, during the past
few weeks. Competition, of course, brings up
prices to the highest figures, and producers
cannot complain at a lack of demand, or that
their produce does not gel them all that it is
worth. Apples find ready sale at 50 cts. per
bushel ; butter 25 to 27 cts. per lb.; buck
wheat, 75 cts. per bushel; buckwheat flour,
§3,00 per hundred; wheat Hour, SB,OO to
$0,50 per barrel ; potatoes 50 to G2J cts, per
bushel ; but greenbacks and shinplasters are
plenty and holders seem anxious to part with
them—labor is in good demand, and nobody
g; utnbles at 'hard-times, 'notwithstanding high
prices, unheard of taxation and an unnatural
civil war are added to the usual depressions
which mark the approach of winter, to those
who cam their bread by the hardest.
With the exception of Scranton, Nicholson
Depot is said to be the most important on
this line of Railroad, there being much more
shipping done to and from this pcint than
from any other Depot on the road. Mr. A.
D. King the Agent—>3 quite popular with
everybody, and presides over the interests of
shippers and the Company with the highest
satisfaction to all parties concerned, lie is
at present absent from his post, rusticating,
I believe, somewhere in the " right smar. '
little village of Newark, N. J. Different
people usally seek different modes ot rccrea
lion. Some fly, during the hot Summer
months, to Newport, Saratoga, or some other
fashionable watering place, where the codfiish
aristocracy most do congregate, whilst others
leave comfortable homes to breathe clouds of
dust, and, out of courtesy, call it country air ;
but our friend King takes to himself no 6uch
opportunities, when half the world is agog
pleasure seeking, he sticks to his desk and
works with a will until the season arrives
when he is likely to find his friends at home,
then, like a sensible man, as he is, shoulders
his baggage and trudges off, sure of a home
welcome wherever he goes It has been sug
gested that the object of his visit to the city
once celebrated for the manufacture of lea'her,
(if we are to believe the ancient Oiney,) is
that he may ge>t from his friend John the
style of vehicle designed to cut the dashiest
swell over the frozen, snow-clad roais, this
winter ; and, by an occasional trip to Goth
am, learn from his friend Charley, of Express
notoriety, the price of game and other small
produce, but I am not a believer in any such
hypothesis.
Your readers will recollect the total de
struction of Mr. S, Taylor's mill, together
with a large quantity of grain, last spring.—
Well, phoenix like, the mill has arisen from
its ashes, and is %iw almost ready for opera
tion. It will be, when completed, the largest
and most complete establishment of the kind
in this section of the country. Under the
accumulation of misfortunes which befell Mr.
T., he has displayed the most indomitable
perseverence and the highest business quali
fications ; and his many friends and the pub
lie, who have suffered much inconveuience
from the lack of the usual accommodation his
establishment afforded, will rejoice to learn
that he will soon re-commence operations
Mr. Taylor is one of the most worthy and en
terprising citizens of this place, and is deserv
ing of the warmest sympathy and earnest
support of the community.
Your quondam cotemporary, Tiffany, is
flourishing here, in the Grocery and Provi
sion line. He has recently added to his stock
quite an extensive assortment of boots and
6hoes, and seems to be doing quite \ flourish
ing business. He has broke ground for a
new building, which will probacy be com
pleted in the spring. So, you 6ee, his present
business is seemingly better suited to his
prospects and prosperity than delving among
the dusty representatives of thought.
O. L. Hallstead & Son have recently added
Fall and Winter goods to their former ex
tensive stock. Now, I profess to be some
thing of a judge of dry goods, whether made
up, or upon the shelf, and I can truly say
that I have seldom seen a better display of
dress goods. The prints are said to be cheap,
by those who are better posted in prices than
myself, and they are certainly beautiful.-*-
Should any ofyonr lady readers hapjten this
way I would advise them to call" and exam
ine. I see that the firm advertises quite lib
erally, and I am sure you will agree with me
that no better evidence can' be adduced of its
popularity and prosperity.
After all the good that I have felt con- !
strained to write about Nicholson, I am sorry
that truth compehs me to say that the cau3e
of education has not, latterly, received that
attention which its importance to the rising 1
generation demands. There are sotbe eighty
scholars in this School District, and only ac- j
coinmodations for, perhaps, half that number. 1
A village containing the population, present
and prospective, of this, surely should permit I
no lack of means for education. It ought, at !
least, to afiord room for a graded school, and
the means to keep it in operation not less {
than six months out of the twelve ; and I am
glad to be able to add that the mattqr is be
ing agitated and discussed by those who feel
something like an absorbing interest in it and
hope that their efforts may culminate in the
fullest success. Amongst those who have ;
taken special interest and have labored earn
estly to bring about the desired result. Dr. !
Blakeslee. well known to the citizens of your
county, Mr. Wilcox, who, by the way, keeps
a very nicely stocked Grocery Store opposite
Perrigo's Hotel, Mr. S. Taylor, mentioned iqj
another part of this letter, and Mr. L. liar
ding, deserve more than passing praise ; but
the limits of this letter will scarcely permit
all to be said which should be.
I must not, however, neglect to mention
the new building which L. Harding, formerly
of the firm of L. Harding & Co., is now erect
ing adjoining the Depot, for the purpose of
storing grain, produce, &c., to the purchase
of which, I am informed, he herealter intends
to devote his attention. The building is un
der roof, and, when fimished, will be conven-
nt and well adapted to tbe purposes tor
which it is intended. It will, no doubt, be a
great public convenierffce.
Truly Yours, Ac. CUNT.
We give the following letter a place in our
columns, though we think it will only be of
local interest,
MR. EDITOR :
I observed in the Wyoming
Republican of Sept. 30th., aD article headed
" Notes on a Small Potato/' and signed Wes
ley and Judson. Rut on reading the article,
I found that by some unaocountable accident,
they had lost 6ight of the subject entirely.
However, it was pretty well done for Wesley
and Judson. I had no idea they were so
smart. I think If'csley must have had a Re
vere attack of the " Nigger on the brain,''
about that time, as he had just returned
from a tour with his wench, said tour hav
ing been taken for the purpose of obtaining
her freedom. As for Judson I think he must
have been overshadowed by the dark cloud,
which occasionally rests upon certain mem
bers of his family, and directs them to write.
Or, possibly lie had just received another
letter from his brother •'in the army" and
consequently felt very patriotic.
The silver Circle spoken of, I know noth
ing about ; nor how many children were
frightened out of their wits. (Which Judson
seems to think they never had, judging other
children by his own, I suppose.) But 1 can
safely say it is enough to frighten axxy child
to see this " mighty warrior '' dressed in
uniform, as it is generally known that he has
a peculiar ankle , which he can throw out ol
joint at pleasure : said ankle having been
kept out of joint a good share of the time,
while in the army, until he obtained his dis
charge, Therefore, children feel afraid that
when dressed in uniform, his ankle may be
come dislocated ; and if it should he would,
of course, fall—possibly on some of them.
However, I think they have nothing to fear
as he is rather small sized. Indeed he is so
very small that when in the army, the gener
als kept him for a pYaything ; or, using his
own language—a pet. No doubi they thought
they had Tom Thumb in camp, and anticipa
ted the vast amount of shin plasters their
treasure would bring them, when this " nig
ger war" was over. He is, likewise, a very
aged warrior, nearly as old as Methuselah I
think judging from his conversation. He can
tell precisely the time the May Flower land
ed at Plymouth Rock, and was the first to
Introduce the passengers to the ancestors of
the Pedagogue. Indeed he is good at every
thing. If he had remained in the army a
short time longer, he might have been ap
pointed commander-in-chief. What a pity
that he let one ankle blast the fond hopes of
all his friends !
In regard to the " Skule Mann's" green
veil, if used at all it must have been about the
time the call was made for cloths for both un
ion and rebel soldiers, who were wounded,
and at that time, suffering in the Hospitals*
Perhaps she, fearing her " rebel " was among
the wounded, had parted with her handker
chief in hopes it might be of service to him.
Or, probably she had lent it to Judson to
wrap aronnd the limbs that were amputated
by him while engaged in surgery, which is
one of his numerous occupations-
I think, however, that Wesley's eye sight
mast have been rather poorer than common,
at that time. Probably it was soon after he
had locked Lizzie in the granary , where he
placed her for inspection as he discovered
that he couldn't discern small objects with his
spy glass, when at a distance. No wonder
that everything looked gieen to Wesley—es
pecially when his Father insisted upon ta
king (he keys and visiting tke granary him
self.
If the "Skule Marm had thought Judson
would have felt slighted she, no doubt,
would bave requested his services, and not
" waded the creek to obtain those of the
Pedagogue." What a pity, for her, that she
didn't, for then a " copy" might have been
sent to Horace Greeley or Lincoln , perhaps ;
but note it must be consigned to the shades
of llebeMom.
In regard to the " watch which she carries
as a memento of her rebel lover's devotion"
I thiftk, judging from observation, it is the
kind that does not " cease ticking and the
finder ring the kind that does not lose its
" unsullied brassness"—the mateiial not be
ing beef bone like thoSe manufactured by
Judson and Brother. •
As to her private correspondence I am
ignorant; having never aspired to so high an
office as that of Postmaster's Assistant, con
sequently have had no opportunity of taking
a " sly peep" at letters, as they passed
through the Post Office,
In regard to the Shoemaker's son, I am
satisfied that had it not been for the teaching
of certain wooly heads, in this place, (who
orfully hated to have a " copperhead" in
their midst,) there would have been no neces
sity of correcting him.
In the blissful assurance of again hearing
from Wesley and Judson, I remain
Yours, till deth , Copperhead.

What cau be done with Paper.
A writer in Blackwood's Magazine says it
is wonderful to see the thousand useful, as
well as ornamental, purpose?- to which paper
is applicable ih the hands of the Japanese,
lie Bay 9he saw it made into material so
closely resembling Russian and Morocco
leather and pig skin that it was difficult to
delect the difference. With the aid of lac
quer varnish and skillful painting, paper
made excellent trunk*, tobacco bags, cigar
cases' saddles, telescope cases, the frames of
microscopes ; and tie even saw and used ex
cellent water proof coats, mido of simple pa
per winch did keep out the ram, and are as
subtle as the best Mackintosh, The Japa
nese use neither silk nor cotton haudker
chiels, towels, nor dusters ; paper in their
hands, serves as an elegant substitute. It is
solt, thin, tough, of a pale, yellowish color,
very plentiful and very cheap. The inner
walls of many Japanese aparttneuts are form
ed of paper, being nothing more than paint
ed screens ; their windows are covered with
a flue, translucent description of the same
mateml ;it enters largely into the mauufac
ture of nearly everything in a Japanese
household ; and he 6aw what seemed to be
balls of twine, but which were nothing but
long shreds of tough paper rolled up. If a
shop-keeper had a parcel to tie, he would
take a strip of paper, roil it quickly between
his hands, and use it for the purpose ; and
it was quite as strong as the ordinary string*
at home. In short, without paper, all Japan
would comi to a dead-lock j aud, iadeed lest
by the arbitrary exercise of his authority, a
tyranical husband should stop his wife's pa
per, the sage Japanese mother-in law inva
riably stipulates that the bride is to navj al
lowed to her a certain quantity of paper.

ly iu the bustle she was making around the table
for tea, and gazed over har specs thoughtfully at

said desultory," said he, smiling; "quite a different
thing." "No matter," said she, looking up in time

FASSETT.—October 20th 1863, in Winvlhnm, Wyo
ming Co. Pa., JOHN- D., eldest eon of Charles and-
Mary Fassctt, in the twentieth year of his age
The deceased was nn exemplary yonng man.—
From infancy, ho was always truthful, candid, sober
and industrious. A dutiful son—a kind and effec
. ticnate brother. lie was singularly unfortunate
j through life, having on several occasions, been
brought by disease nearly o the gates ©f death.—
He bore his afflictions with fortitude and composure,
j His last illness was brief. Three short days of suffer
! 'ng, and death claimed its victim. In the morn'ng
of life he has left the stage of action where kind
Parents, Brothers, Sisters and youthful associates
are left to mourn bis untimely death.
Oh, sweet emblem of the blest,
Thou hast gone to thy* eternal rest,
i From the cares and toils of earth thon hast flown*
To dwell in Heaven, where sorrow's uuknown.
Thy body hath returned to its mother dust,
Thy spirit to its home in Heaven, we trust,
Thou hast been taken from us dear,
To remind us ever that death is near.
Short was the illness that bore thee away
From loving friends to tho bosom of clay,
[ May all, from thy short life a pattern take,
And sin and folly, ever forsake.
