one that Is making much mcrriment in the
party that has "sound head on = sound

rel combed head, has been doubted, but
We see political party while 1t is in dan.
ger, calling out for new head and we
may not doubt longer the other story
The ostrich, 1t Is said, while danger Il near,
burics its head In the sand; and perhaps
the Democratic party might pattern after
this not over wise bird. But to the disin-
terested locker on, the pu zzle is, what adj
vantage is there to be gained by the pro-
posed change. The New York World finds
no fault with the platform, that is quite
well, but the candidates are Objectionable.
With the people both are Objectionable, the
one as much as the other; and the idea
that success will follow a change Of candi-
dates is simply preposterous, and shows
that the Democratic doctors haye not ar
rived at proper diagnosis of the disease.

The Electi Ons

We gave our readers last week the
best and fullest accounts Of the cleo
ton, in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
and Nebraska that had come to hand.
Since then the further returns have
ouly made it certain that the Repub-
leans carried all four Of the states
that held elections the 18th, but the
majorities have been reduced little.
The majority in Pennsylvania will
not vary much from 10000. In Ohio
it will reach to between $1,000 and
20, 900; and in Indiana, it is quite
close on Governor, Baker, Republican
he having only about LOCO majori-
ty. Nebraska it is reported has given
1000. We lose six or seven repre-
sentativcs in Congress, and gain one.
These elections decide the Presidcn-
tial election. Gen. Grant will be
our next President if he lives.

NArURALIzATroN.-Wen notice that the news
pagers all over the country are agitating the
question Of change in the naturalization law,
Of the land. Thu is . matter that will call for
the early attention OF Congress. Some ~
must be devised to put stop to the frauds ths
are now perpetratcd in many Of the large cities
Of the country. One way suggested is that
foreigners shall not vote until they have been
naturxlized year. Let there be, in the Ian :
guass Of the Constitution, ~ uniform rule
Of naturalization" established by Congress.
Down here in Maine there 10 some attention
paid TO the 'aw now in force, and the practice
Of the Courts, bnt in New York the whole 10 .
farce. This year man In Eden wanted 10
complete his naturalization, and after travel
ling 10 Bangor, he telegraphed for witnesses,
and two Of our citizens had to 20 over 10 that
city to witness for him. II no had been In New
York, there would have been plenty to swear
for the man TOR dollar, il he would vote for
the Democrats.

That the American will be en-
largcd with the beginning Of the new
volume, and that we shall devote all
of our time to making it better than
ever before. 1t will be our aim to
make it an acceptable weekly visitor
to the people of the county. We
shall have space for the discussion of
agricultural matters, and expect those
interested will avail themselves Of its
column. to make public their thoughts.
A serial story will be published,
which will be good news to the young
folks.
Another feature will be that mos
of the type used will be Of a large
size SO that those whose sight is fail
ing can read it's columns without diff
fculty. Most people complain be.
cause of the fine type used in most Of
the newspapers.
We shall make the attempt once
more to publish q marine list. a:
many of the citizens Of the county
are interested in navigation. We
confess the thought gives us all the
premonitary symptoms Of sea-sick-
ness, which is not all pleasant, never

p. Therefore those who take and pay
for the american for 1869 will find
the paper we hope in every respect,
improved and we may venture to ex-
psct, satisfactory not metropolitan

Mr.. John Quincy Adams, the

fairly and honestly argue the Repub-
lican side Of the reconstruction ques-
ton, and Wade Hampton, Robert

How to Advertise.

No sensible man questions the advan.
tages of advertising. but few merchants
fully understand how to do it. therefore
the manner ofinforming the public Of ones
wares often fails of the object aimed at. 1t
may be clumsily done. or there may be
too much said, or what is much oitencr he
case, too little said. or the advertisement
remains unchanged too long, or there is =
tamencss or sameness about it that repels
the reader rather than attracts him. No man
wants to write An advertisement that will
be as long as ongressman's speech, nor
as dull. Neither does he want to be so
crisp and short that only half of the story
10 told.
II man understands doing business at
all, aud has anything for sale, he will tell
the public all about it in the newspapers,
and will just say enough 20 inform the
public what hs wants them to know, and
no more.
But who reads Advertisements ask the

Why do the Conservative Masses Of the
Country like General Grant?

Because he is practically a UNION man.
He has exhibited spirit of forbearance
and forgiveness towards the unfortunate
people Of the South. IL he has shared, he
has not shown that bitter. unrelenting
maiignity which eharacterizes the Radical
politicians like Butler, Stevens and Wade.
When Lee surrendered to the National
forces there was something noble and gen.
srous, there was something ola soldiers
sentiment and honor expressed by Gcner-
al Grants course. which II not fully ap-
preciated by the great mass of the people.
IL somehow ennobled Grants character
and linked him to the people.
When the General a few months or
few weeks amer Lees surrender, at the re-
quest Of the President. visited the South
ern States, he was received with respect,
and when In his report he stated that he
found the people of the South Inundated,
orderly, well disposed. aud sincerely anx-
ious to be reinstated In the Union. at the
same time acknowledging the abolishment
Of slavery and willing 10 give the emanci-
pated negroes their rights before the law.
he made an honest statement. . truthful
statement, one that embodied positive
facts.
We know his Report" disp'eased the

displeasurc has gradually Increased until
now .heir political hatred Of Grant IL only
equalled by tina. snycndercd toward En-
glsh OF Connecticut, or Pendleton Of Ohio,
or any other National Union man.
Nevertheless the loyal heart Of the NJ
tpn IS inclined toward Grant. He 10 be-
yond doubt an honest. well meaning man.
He is in 10 sen Sc n politician. is free from
political corruption. and stands to-day the
