The High Price Of Paper.

The price Of paper has risen very fast and
very high within short time past, and is
reaching figure that will revolutionize the
prices of newspapers, periodicals and books
throughout the country. Already rewspa-
per publishers, in various parts of the codnl
try, are putting up the prices of their Jour
nails, and soon all the papers in the country
must advance in price. Publishers will be
compelled to do this to sustain themselres.-
The price of paper, which has already adTan-
ed about 40 per cent, must continue 60 I'D
vance while the war lasts, unless some other
material than Gotten be discovered from
which to make it. Publishers having the
necessary capital are buying up large quanti-
ties Of paper and thus adding another rea
son why the aFelcle will soon be much high
er than at present. Weekly papers that have
been and are DOW published at so per an,
mum, will soon be much higher than at
present. Weekly papers that have been and
are now published at 81, so per annum, will
soon be advanced to two dollars, and papers

ought to have known before doing as you did
that that property worth at least fifteen hun

assessed to you and that you never paid one

it was never assessed to you. j. W. Tiffany,

The Late Elections.

Two years ago Pennsylvania gave Lincoln
67 900 majority. The Wayne county Herofd
saws she out Heroded Herod in the fearful
work of elevating dynasty which was des-
tined to rob her SONS of tEeit most cherished
liberties, and crush freedom With her iron
heel Of despotism. In our national Congress,
we had but little more reason for hope. We
could only boast of half dozen brave spirits,
who had the moral courage to maintain their
rights and to protect the interests os their
constituents. Descending to our State gov
ernment, the picture was quite Is datk. An
abolitionzed, Know Nothing Governor, a
Cabinet elected upon the sathe platfoFmj q
hopeiessly kanat:ca Senate, and d fiegFo Wor-
shipping House This was the complexion
to which our opponents had brought our glo-
rious old Commonwealth:
To-day we bear new testimony to that
oft repeated sentence, Truth crushsd to
earth will rise again" Our triumph seems
most glorious. Let US not, however, arrogate
to ourselves or to party management the hon
or of this result we'll directed labor has done
much, but the rnfinching spirit Of liberty,
roused to new life by the encroachments Of
corruption and despotism has done infinitely
more. land drenched with blood, nation
ech"ing on every hand the walls Of widows
and orphans, treasury plundered of its last
cent, political dungeons resounding with the
tread of innocent men, nationa and individual
bankruptcy, an infracted Constitution, the
prospect of servle inEurrections-these have
besn the great revolutionitts. The contest
was between Tyranny and Liberty let lis
thank God that tke latter has ttirnphed
The iarnediate fruits Of our victory are,
the restoration of local affairs to the manage
ment of the democracy, a majority in the
State Legislature, the election of our Auditor
, and Surveyor Generals, such a gain in the
lower house Of Congress- as, with the aid Of
democratic :riumphs in other States. will give
us the control of that body, and by virtue of
our majority on joint ballot in our State SEN
ate and House of Representatives. the elcc-
ton of Democratic L. S. Senator, to fill the
place of David Whmot.
This is glory enough for one day vet, in
our estimation, all these things taken by
themselves alone, do not give US half such
occasion for heartfelt thadkfulness as may be
found in the fact that fanatics and tyranny
have received a whitening rehuke, and in ;he
newborn hope that the broad wings of Peace
may, ere long, rest upon our blood stained
