FOR THE ANERICAN.
Our C0ngreSS nj a n .


The Constitution has wisely provided, that those
who elected to rPreson, Us in the Congress Of
the Union should periodically surrender this trust,
and submit their acts to the judgment Of heir con-
sttuents. That period has again arrived. and we
will be called in October nett, either TO re-elect our
late Congressmcn, John Snyder, or to supply his
place by the choice of another. Our government
is strictly representative. The people are the source
Of all power. and he to whom any portion of i, is
delegated is bound fairly to represent and carry out
the wishes Of his constituents. When he ceases to
do So, a fundamental principle Of republican go-
vernmcnt is violated, and public opinion is shed
and controlled by the s"lf.will, and p rhaps selfish
and narrow views, of single individual. Has
our late representative been guided by the voice Of
his constituents, or has he been governed in leGs-
latng upon subjects in which the people are deep
ly interested, merely by his own opinions and pre-.
judices' This is an important inquiry, and one
which every citizen has not only the right, but i,
casts his vote. do no, intend to review MI Sny

the period he has represented US that would be q

The Philadelphia Ledger Establishment

Any one who has passed in the neighborhood Of
third and chesnu, streets, in Phil d,lpha, after o
o'clock at night, could no, fail to have heard the
constant clicking Of machinery, in the basement
Of large six story house, known as the "Lcdger
Buildings" on the corner. It is there that the
Public Ledger is printed. The sheets issued
from two double cylender Napier Presses, from
which they fall almost raridly as leaves from
the forest trees in autumn. Each of these Presses
throw offbe,wecn three and four thousand sheets
per hour. On the same floor, in a range with these
presses is one of still larger dimensions upon which
the "Unite1 States Saturday POST is printed. This
Press is most .plendiI specimen of the mechanic
ar's and c st, the proprietor informed u.s. upwards
of four thousand dollars. These Presses are work.
ed by a steam Engine. Every thing connected
with them moves with as much regularity and
order as clock work. The number of sheets print.
ed every night, and circulated early next morning,
amount to eighteen or twenty thousand, or up.
wards of forty reams. The Ledger was first es-
,ablishcd eigh, ten years sincc by three enter
prsing Journymcn Printers, Mcssrs Swain, Able
and Simmons, the present proprictors, who by
din, of industry, skill and perseverance have sue.
ccedcd in building up Of the greatest enterprises
of the kind in the Union. The Ledger prof,sses
to be entirely neutral in politics, but is often
pec,ed for leaning towards democracy. for
.'E'en its failings lean to virtues side
II filling it be called, for surely we shall find
no fault on account of its advocacy OF democratic
principles. 1t would well repay any of our tre-
hern Of the Press, or others who feel an interest
in such matters, to visit the above estabishment--
the obliging proprictors Of which, will, we con-
fjent, show them every attention.
