To Our Old Patrons.

After years of absence, we
again return to the control of the
"EAToN DEMOCRAT Since our
connection with the paper, many
changes have taken place with
in the political world, through
all of which the Democratic par
ty has passed unscathed, and
stands, to-day, the only true and
unfinching friend of a RepubIi-
can form of government. We in
tend to print a DEMOCRATIC sheet,
in the strict sense of the express
sion; not advocating impractical
billties, but dealing with living
issues Us they now stand.
The war has changed the stat
US of the colored race, and for
~tnnately for the nation the negro
has been removed out of politics,
except SO far as his social rela-
tons are concerned. All the an
tecedents Of the rebellion, we
shall give the go-by, and deal in
no accrimonies of the past; but
in politics, advocate a conserva
tive course, and endeavor to heal
sectional strife.
The DEMOCRAT will sustain a
republican form of government,
aud advocate the true interests
of the laboring classes, as against
the intrigues of corrupt money
cd circles, land grabs and protec-
tive tariffs. If there be n in
terest in the government which
should be more cared for than
another, it is productive labor;
for from this source the nation
derives all it's wealth. We will
therefore advocate the interests
of the laboring classes, and our
paper shall come to them as an
especial friend.
The usurpation Of power, by
both the Executive and LegisIa-
tive branches of our government,
will be opposed, and the ''DEAo-
GRAFT will advocate q return to
ancient land marks. In this re-
spect we shall insist that the
sovereignty of the government
resides within the people; and
that all offce-holders are but
their agents, with powers dele
gated, for the time being, on the
express condition to be used for
the benefit of the people, and not
for their own exclusive advan-
tage, as has been the case for
many years; and that this princi-
pie is applicable to both the ma
tional and State government; and
that SO far as the sovereignty of
the people is concerned, no Ex-
ecutive or Legislature can by any
act whatever, permanently i'm
pair or take it away, to their in
jury; but that the people, til rough
their representatives, have an in
herent right to peaceably change
or modify all such injurious lets
and legislation.
We shall further advocate that
under the Constitution, the Ma,
tional Government has no right
to impair the legitimate powers
Of the State government; for such

LEADING journals in the South de-
clare that from present appearances
" little is to be feared by the people of
that section from the Ku. KluX investi.
cations, and if the power conferred
upon the President by the Ku.Klux
biNs is ever practiced, it will not be for
the purpose originally designed. The
investigations 50 far have proved most
disastrous to the party interested in
maligning the South, the weight of
evidence adduced being altogether in
favor of the peaceful condition of the
South, while the few instances of social
disorder established are, in the minds
of all candid people, far from justifying
the exercises of the extraordinary pow
ers conferred upon the President.
From the tone of public sentiment in
regard to the Ku.Klux bugbear at the
North, it is plainly to beperceived that
the original design of the zealots has
miscarried, not only in proving too
much, but in developing social con.
dition at the South much better than
they had been previously led to sup
pose" BY the time the Presidential
election of 1872 takes place, the people
will be SO pressed by immediate issues
of financial and business character
that they will have no room in theiI
minds to accept trumped up stories in
relation to Ku.Klux organizations in
| the South.

The Pottsville Standard says it will
require delivery of 5l5,s5O tons of
coal per week from this date to Decem-
ber, to furnish the same quantity fur
nished last year. The delivery of coal
this year, up to June 80, amounts to A.
5l4 ,3i4 tons, against ,27i, ,992 tons during
the corresponding period in 1870 The
editor argues that it is hardly to be ex.
pected that the shipments will come up
to 100000 tons per week, but that they
will barely reach 100000 tons at best.
The fact that any stoppagc whatever
will still further decrease the supply Is
used to enforce the economy of laying
in next winters stock now. There Is,
of course, force in the recommendation
but we must not forget, as the recon-
mender certainly does, that the market
was overstocked last year. More Goa
was shipped, or in store at points of dc
livery, than the natural demand re
quired. When that began to appear thu
strike came and production ceased. lie
us hope that the supply will neve
again be forced so far beyond the de
mand, since, SO long as they keep pac,
with each other strikes are not possible

THE Philadelphia Ecening Telegraph
reviews the career of Mr.. Simon Cam

"that Mr.. Cameron's administration of

corrupt, that Mr.. Lincoln was compell-
ed to send him to Russia TO get rid OF
him and his ring of fawning cormor.
ants. 1t records that in almost every
battle our armies were badly armed,
clothed, fed and organized, during his
stay in the War Office, and that during
the same time, the secrets of that Office
were sold to the Rebels openly; that
its shameless traffic in contracts and
shoulder straps, was disgrace to the
nation, and that Mr.. Lincoln is alleged
to have said that "while the United
States government is strong enough to
carry on the Rebellion and to whip the
Rebels, it is too weak to carry Mr.
Cameron" This outbreak is due to the
fact that Cameron is man@uvring for
the vice. Presidency, and the Radical
party thinks it has enough ofbad nom-
nations to carry.

1T is stated that the Labor Unions OF
Luzerne county have determined to be
heard in political matters this fall and
that they will demand nominees, espec-
tally for legislative positions, who will
cordially espouse their leading wants
in legislative way. The principle OF
this action is right, but let them be
careful Of the demagogues who will
profess loudly to gain their favor only
to betray them. They must not put
their trust in an incompetent man, or a
brawler, or one who makes all sorts Of
promises to obtain their favor, or who
does not maintain already an establish
ed character for integrity and firmness
of purpose. Any representative they
may choose will be sorely tried and i
there is the least germ of selilshness OF
baseness in him he will fall, to the grea
and lasting injury of the cause he pro
| fessedly represents.

NOTWITHSTANDING the heavy emil

shows an Increase of two millions on
the population Of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain, Scotland, Ireland and
Wales. Even In Ireland the diminu-
ton of the population has been reduced
to u much lower per cent. than former
ly. Tho decrease in the ten years prior
TO 1861 was twelve per cent; in that
between 1861 and 1871 only seven per
cent The total decrease in the popula-
tion of ireland for the past ten years
was less than four hundred thousand,

extraordinary under the circumstances.

THE Wayne county Herald might
understand that when delegates who
were elected for the express purpose
make nominations every good Demo-
erat will cheerfully support them, and
the more willingly and earnestly when
the nominees are proper men. He
might at the same time comprehend
the fact that when delegates elected for
that purpose get so far above their bus

lished principles and undertake to die.

THE President has pardoned G. c..
Bowen, the Radical Congressman who
was convicted of having several wives.
This indicates a rather loose state of
Presidential morality. The last wife
waited upon the President at Long
Branch and obtained promise of par
don before she left. She is represented
to be lady Of remarkable mental abil.
ity and accomplishments, of great per-
sonal beauty, on the bright side of for
ty, and of captivating manners. All
that being true, we doubt whether the
mantle of charity might not be permit
ted to cover the weakness of the Presi-
dents heart. The charms of the sex
have conquered greater heroes even
than Gen. GRANT, and ADAMS de-
seen dants evidently inherit much of his
frailty. Besides that, it is mocking
Radical principles to punish carpet
bagger for crime.

Labor Union Platform,

We have not seen this document in
full, but they announce two leading
measures that shall ever receive cordial

party whenever its masses are duly

tiers, has already been endorsed by the
Democratic National Convention, and
we hope to see every Congressional
candidate of that party at future elec-
tions pledged to its support. The Sec
ond is opposition to the present mode
of National Banking-or what would
be better, opposition to the entire sys.
tenn. At present the people pay nearly
twenty millions of dollars annually as
interest on the capital of these Banks
from which they derive no benefit
whatever. If the Banks were sup
pressed, and greenbacks issued in their
stead, the people would save these
twenty millions annually. We decid-
edly favor that mode. But if this can
not be carried let us at least have a
modification of the evil, by destroying
the present monopoly of power in the
hands of the Secretary of the Treasury,
who deals out Banking privileges to
whom he pleases, and allow everybody
to bank who will put up sufficient
amount of government bonds to secure
the prompt redemption of the notes
issued. No good reason for the monop.
oily exists, and we do not see why bank.
ers could not by way of bonus throw
off one.half the interest on the bonds
they deposit. They could do that and
still make ten to twenty per cent. inter-
est on their business.
The working mems Union, in regard
to these two measures at least, is on the
right track, and we hope they will be
able to compel both the principal polit-
ical parties of the country to adopt
these two measures-and HpG up TO
them.
