WORD 10 SUBsCnlBERs.-In the first number
Of the present volume Of the Journal we proposed
that any subscriber who did not wish to continue
should send bac! that number. We did not sup
pose that any honorable man. who owed us for one
or two years, would send it back without paying up
but W. wa:o mistaken. Several very honorable
men seem to consider it general invitation to send
back their papers at any time, and stop them with
out paying the little balances they owe MS. Mr.. O.
II. c., of Giead, has just returned three late num-
bers, although he owes for over a year. The law
of newspapers declares such an act prima facie
evidence of fraud. Subscribers may stop their pa
pers at any tna, but they must first pay up arrear
ages. Hereafter we shall send on to such subsCri-
bers as are considered responsible until they pay
up, whether they refuse to take their papers from
the post Office ornot.

the following gentlemen were chosen e.

The progress of this road has been very
slow; various difficulties and mishaps have
beset it all along from the commencement of
the work; some of those engaged upon it
from time TO time have been charged with
efforts to selfishly pluck it, and blame has
been freely bestowed in all directions yet

any very peculiar demonstrations in this
place. The cannon was industriously fired
at an early hour i'll the morning, and occa-
sionally till somewhat late bedtime in the
evening; the Germans had glorious ball at
night the effects of which did not subside
till next day and the towns Of Portagevile
and Bowling Green were each favored with
a ball. The little boys, with their crackers
produced the most confusion, and were Of
course the greatest patriots of the day.

To VorERs Before depositing our votes
next Tuesday, it becomes US, as american
Freemen, who hold in our hands the future
destiny of this great country, to consider
calmly and dispassiouately, the aspect of the
political horizon, and the reasons for the
course We intend to pursue. For ourseif, we
intend to vote for the Candidates of the
American Party:
Because, they are pledged to exert all their
influence to obtain modification of our natu-
ralization laws, and to extend the period for
eigners have to remain in this country before
they are entitled to vote, and exercise the
rights of citizenship.
Because, they are pledged to oppose the en-
croachments of the Roman Catholic Church,
and to denounce its corrupt bargains with poll
tical parties, and it's attempts to wrest the BIZ
BILE from our schools.
Because, their election will be a rebukc to
the present imbecile Administration for their
wanton violation Of solemn comract between
sister es;-for their appointment of James
Campbell, a Roman Catholic to a Cabinet Of
ice, in ful6lment of corrupt and disgraceful
bargain with Archbishop Hughes for their
appointment of Soule, French Red Republi-
can as Minister to Spain ;--and for their other
foreign appointments, too numerous to men
tion, by all Of which the American people
were insulted and disgraced. .s-5.
Because-we cannot vote for party that is
| openly allied with those who have stained our
streets with the blood of a protestant for the
declaration of his opinions and prosfifufed Their
official station 10 The screening Of The MURDERER.
BecGuse-we cannot vote for ticket sup
ported by the Catholic organ OF this town,
| which endorsed the sermon of the Roman Ca
| tholic Bisl op Young, in which he not only de-
| nounced Protestants of every sect, but argued
| against the reading ofthe bible by the common
people, and its Introduction into our schools.
Because-we cannot vote for party, one of
whose Governors, granted to William II Dunn,
| an unn turalized foreigner, order for twen-
| ty five stand of arms to she'd Protestant Amer
| icican blood in the streets of Philadelphia.
| These are some of our reasons for support
| ing the American Ticket, in preference to
| that of our opponents. We have others, too
| numerous to mention, but the grand and
| crowning reason, is, because We are obeying
the last great injunction of the Father of his
| Country, who warned us to beware OF For

|, TaE HARyEsr HoxE.- Notwithstanding the
torrents of rain which fell on Wednesday last.
an immense concourse of people assembled on
the old Camp Ground, three miles distant
from New Washington, to join in the festivi-
ties of the American Harvest Home. 1t was
estimated that over one thousand people were
on the ground, and nearly every section of
the country was represented.
The meeting was organized by the election
of SAM L SEBRING President with long list
of Vice Presidents and Secretaries, which, We
regret to say, we have lost or mislaid. E S.
DuNDY, Esq. was called upon, and addressed
the meeting in an eloquent and appropriate
speech He was followed by NJ. A. FRANK,
Esq. in an able argument on the great issues
of the present contest. We were then called
upon, and the meeting on the ground adjourn
ed, after partaking of a magnificent dinner,
prepared by Mr.. JOHN SHETTER, for the occa-
sion. The dinner was good, the martial mu-
sic was good, the officers were good, and
the effect of the meeting was good.
In the evening large and enthusiastic NEE
ting assembled in New Washington, at which
Mr.. JAMES KELLY presided. 1t was most EN-
| phatically. one of the best political meetings
| we have ever attended. The people OF Burn
side township are up and doing, and the loco
focos may expect to hear news from the supper
| end on next Tuesday, that will make them
tremble in their boots.
| During the day, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
| RESOLVED, That we fully endorse the plat
! form framed at the Reading Session of the a
merican State Council, and adopt it as the
declaration of principles Of the American par.
| ty.
Resolred, That ratify and endorse the
nomination of HENRY SoUTHER, of Elk Coun'
ty, as the American candidate for the State
Senate, and that we pledge him our hearty
and undivided support.
ResoIred, That We have the fullest conf
dence in the honesty, integrity, and pure A
mericanism of each and every candidate on
our county ticket and that We will leave ne
effort unspared to secure their triumphan
election.

CosTENrTIBLE.-The opposition are circula-
ting the most attrocious and contemplate SIAN
ders about our candidates thro out the county.
Now we have not said word of personal
character about any man on their ticket We
have treated them, at all times and under all
circumstances, with that respect which we be
lieve due to every American citizen. But, We
are sorry to say, our antagonists are pursuing
a very different course. We are nearly every
day called upon to refute some malicious SIAN
der, such, for example, as that r. f. WARD,
our candidate for Sheriff, is a Catholic and
sends his children to Catholic School -
What poor, pitiful, contemplate LIE ! But
this is not all; it is said of the same gentle
man, in another part of the county, that he is
an infdei. We can assure our friends, and
the public that there is no more upright citi-
zen, honest man, or accommodating fellow to
be found in Clearfield county than Ro'ert +.
Ward, and all the slanders that his enemies
have heaped upon him, will recoil with terri
ble effect upon their own heads, on next Tues
day. \ majority of his fellow citizens will
then demonstrate their confidence in the ho-
nesty of the man, and in his ability as a pub
lie officer. s

DESPERATE EYFoRTs.-The ssmonkey show, -
after years quiet preparation, started out a
gain yesterday, and will exhibit itself during
the week in every section of the County. In
other words, the Locofoco stump speakers
have started to hold meetings in every nook
and corner of the County. They are almost
frightened sout of their boots, and are making
desperate effort, as sort of sforlorn hope
to frighten the Americans sout of the order.
They will very likely discover before they get
back, that our men are not afraid of ssbugga-
boos," and if we are not mistaken, they will
be sent home with ssdroopina tails"

TIE WORK GOES oN.-From every part of
the county we have the most cheering news,
and we cannot for moment doubt the success
Of our ticket upon next Tuesday. The reports
that come in from the various Councils show
q most astonishing increase, and it will only
require that the votes are all polled to insure a
glorious victory. The American feeling is
thoroughly aroused, and THE PEOPLE seem de-
termined to come out from the tyranny of old
party organizations, and whip the combined
forces of Locofocoism, Roman Catholicism,
and every other ism that looks to political su-
premacy in our country. The. .sAmericans are
on guard - and they will achieve a glorious
victory in the name of ssGOD, AND OUR
