TIE editor of the Democrat, says, that
we "becamc so used, during the past cam
paign,in manufacturing lies that we cannot
now tell the truth" We are sorry neighbor
that you did not discover it sooner, we
threw the challenge to you for contradic-
ton which was declined. We are still
open for conviction, and now challenge the
Democrat to prove that We stated anything
during the campaign that was not correct
Perhaps our neiGhbor has become so har
dcned in dcceiving his readers, that he can
not tell right from wrong. We say Tho
" Y. 7r,Jtn} does not corrobcrate tho

the truth by garbled extracts, as the Demo
crut does.

THE Democrat having always been Sc
we're in It's denuncations of the New York
Tribune, we are surprised to see it garbing
extracts from that paper. Having no hopes
of the "TNmmany Ring" any longer, the
editor, no GSubt, expects to redeem his past
course by occasionally quoting the Tribune.
The readers Of the Democrat rs we'll as the
Tribune, would prefer the whole of the ar
ticles copied, instead of garbcd extracts,
to place that paper in wrong light. The
.A2:ERICAN never pretended that there
we're 10 rogues outside the Democratic
party. They will be found in all parties.
But we do say that the policy of the Demo
cratic party has been, for many years, TO
cover up all frauds and rascalitcs commit
ted by members of their party, whilst Re
publicans do not hesitate to dcnounce and
expose them, without respect to party. We
want no better evidence of this than the
fact that Democratic editors, with few eX-
'ceptions, attempted rather to excuse, than
denouncc the traitors who openly buastcd
OF their determination to break up this
government. The Democrat never had NJ
unkiud word, even for such arch traitors
as jeff Davis, Brcckinridgc, Toombs, &c.
nor for the robbcries of Floyd and others
during the rebellion, because they wer,
Democrats. Even the recent stupendou
frauds by the New York officials wer
passed over by our ucighbor in silence.

TIE discovery Of the fact that Congress
man Leach, of North Carolina, is q men,
bcr of the Kuklux Klan reveals how wide
spread is that organization, and how thor
oughly it permcatcs the entire society of
the South. EX-Governor Holden, OF
North Carolina, believes that every South
rem Democratic Congressman is n member
of the Klan, and we think the facts, If ever
fully brought to light, will support him.
He asks Congress what it is going to do,
and we repeat the question. Any man
who subscribcs to such n document as the
constitution of this infamous band is not
only an enemy ofhis country, but dead to
every generous emotion or feeling Before
the Investigation is through it is probably
that there may I've revelations which will
implicate many Northern Democrats, and
we would not be surprised at such result.
1t is barely possible that not only the idea
of the organization, but the money comes
from the North.

"Is 1T Nor TIME p-The question has
been appropriately asked, now that the
Democrats in New York are disposing of
their rascals, is IL not time that the Radi-
calls shonld exhibit equal honest. Carpet
baggers are plunGering the Southern States
to bankruptcy, and ravenous rings sucking
the life-blood of the Federal government.
Why don't the Radicals kick them over
board as the Democrats do their rascals
DO you give it upp Because, if they did,
there would not be honest men enough left
in the party to carry q single State in the
Unioh.n
We copy the above from the Democrat of
last week, which appers to show that the
editor is getting ashamed of the company
he is In, and is ondeavoring to cover up his
tracks during the last campaign. 1t is we'll
known that he was among the vilest to
persecute honest Democrats because they
refused TO support the Tammany Ring ticket
in this county, which he defended and sup
ported throughout. Even candidates de-
ftated at the Democratic primary election,
by fraud of the Tammany party, were de-
nicd space in the Democrat for n card for
fear their fraud and corruption would be
revealed. An edict was sent forth through
this same paper that the names ofall voting
against the Tammany ticket should be
placed in book for future reference to
brand them rs disorsanizers. Why did not
the Democrat then denounce the Tammany
Ring rs "rascalsn and defend the rights OF
honest Democrats. When the head of the
Tammany Ring was attacked by the Re.
publicans and honest Democrats to disgorge
their plunder, the Democrat kept silent aud
was trembling for its New York friends.
Since there is probability of the honest
people, regardless of party, driving the
thieves out of New York and Furnishing
them, and there is no more hope for money
to be sent through the country to keep up
the branch Rings, the Democrat wants to
claim itas the work of the Democrats. We
would like our neiGhbor to explain which
he now claims as the Democratic party,
the one he is connected with, or the party
opposing the fraud and corruption Of the
Tammany Ring?

A WORD 20 oun pHADEl.s.

The circulation of the AMERICAN ought
10 be doubled. With n very little effort on
the part of our friends-and we believe the
great mass Of its readers are such-this
could very soon be accomplished. There
is no one SO well qualified to speak of the
value of this paper as those who peruse its
pages every week In its sphere for the
information il furnishes to the masses 1t
has no equal, while its price is within the
reach Of all.
REApERl You who best know its value
speak good word in its behalf, and get a
friend or neighbcr to send in his name,
with The money.
The AMERICAN is pronounced by farm
ers, merchants and clergymen in the coun-
", who have been reading it from ten to
twenty five years to be the best and cheap
est weekly paper in the county. 1t con-
,ans AL the news of the day from different
parts Of the world.
II contains each week the best hints de-
rived from the best sources on the farm
and garden, and everything interesting to
the farmer and horticulturist.
We are about making arrangements to
enlarge the paper between now and spring,
and therefore offer new inducements TO
SEND IN CLUBS FOR 1872.
There will be an election in 1872 for
President of the United States, which will
bo one Of the most important ever held in
this country. To our old subscribers we
need not say where the AMERICAN will be
found. 1t has ever been on the side of hui
man rights, and the economical expendi-
tIre OF tbc public money, and opposed to
bribery and corruption in every form. This
will he its platform in the future as it has
been in the past
The "SUNBuRY AMERrCANn is furnished
~ single subscribers at $3.50 a year, TO
clubs of five, 1925 to clubs of ten and up
wards, &l.i5, and copy furnished gratui-
tously for every ten names. Any one who
will take the trouble to examine the mat
ter will see thnt this is but fraction over
the cost Of white paper upon which it is
printed. There is not a cheaper paper
published in the county, nor one that con-
tains more varied and interesting reading
