TIE KU-KLUX WANT GREELY. - The
South Carolina Ku-Klux, whose outrages
have been for Il time suppressed by the Wig
orous action of the Federal Government,
enforcing the laws of Congress, are waiting
for the election of Greely to recommencc
their tiendsh operations. The following
extract from letter written to the Boston
Journal by gentleman long resident in
that State, is exceedingly suggestive:
you can do much where you are by
letting the people know what exactly are
and have been the facts. The late action
of the politicians has done great harm, and
the Ku-KluX snake is raising his head
again, preparing to strike if Greely should
be elected. These fools here cannot under
stand. and l fear will never learn in their
generation, what we have so long been ac-
customed to in the North-to!erance ofdIf:
ferences of political sentiment. / am not
hopeful for the future, and if Greeley is
elected there will be no question that every
Union white man, and hall the negroes Of
South Carolina may pack up and leave, fol
sooner or later they will have that to do oil
be killed."

FABRIcATIoNs. of the meanest ha
bits that journalist can fall into is the
persistency of publishing news which h,
knows to be incorrect, to mislead his read
ers. We are in receipt of Democratic pa
pers weekly who indulge in this habit
Even our neighbor of the Democrat has be-
come so addicted to this vice that in every
issue there are articles which every one
who keeps pace with the times, knows to be
a fabrication, and frequently, too, we find
in other parts of his paper, articles copied
from other journals, 10 fiat contradiction tc
editorials. In last weeks issue we noticed
a largely displayed heading of the North
Carolina election with sickly looking
rooster, which looked like falling over while
in the effort of growing, underneath which
was the following in large letters:
"THE Cock THAT CROWS LAST GROWS
BEsT.n - --LATEST RETURNS" - "THE
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE ELECTED AF'

Enough has been received from North
Carolina to convince every fair-minded
man that Judge Merrimon is the legally
elected Governor of that State, and by q
handsome majority. The fact is the Radi'
cal defeat has been overwhelming. They
started in the campaign, confident of 90.
Go majority, and sure of the victory. Al
the last gubernatorial election in that State
they had over 5000 majority, and it was
necessary for them to increase that to show
that their party maintained its strength

So long as it was believed that the Demo
cracy had swept North Carolina oy 20, ,000-
16,0O0-l0,000 majority, all of the Democ-
cratic journals asserted that the Importance
of that election did not lie in its immediate
results, but in its indication of other cleo
tions, whose nature would also be moulded
by it. They agreed in this, from the Tri
tune down. Does not the philosophy hold
good, though The Republicans have won the
victory? And if they carried North Caro-
lima against such extreme efforts, strength

WHAT DO THESE THfNas MEAN p.

WHAT DO THESE THINGS MEAN p
| What did Horace Greeley mean in his let
| ter to the New York Tribune of June Sth,
last year, written on the Sd Of that month,
when he said:
~ am confident that two-thirds Of the
men, with nine.tenths Of the women, who
formerly composed the Shareholders caste,
would this day give half their houses and
lands to have their slaves back again, just
| as they possessed them in 1860:
| They consider themselves robbed by eman-
cipation, and would like their property
back again, or its value in some equiva-
lent"
And what did he mean by saying, in the
same letter, that "they,n the rebels,
Propose to renew the fight, but not
with the gun and sabre. They expect to
regain as Democrats, through elections, the
power they lost as rebels through war;"
And what did he mean when, iu the
same communication, speaking Of the col
ored vote, he stated that
They will seek to coerce enough of it
into voting the Democratic ticket to give
them majority of the Southern electoral
vote for next President"
And what does the following extract
from the speech of Governor Brown, of
Tennessee, at a recent Greeley ratification
meeting at Nashville, mean 7
"He supported Greeley because he loved
the South, baied jeff Davis, advocated
universal amnesty and had no kinsfolk.
He did not care what Greeley had said in
the past against the South and its institu-
| tions. 1t was enough for him to know
that he was in favor of restoring her to her
pristine rights. Greeley, # elerted. ,oould
pay the losses of the South, and set her peo-
pie on the high road to wealth and happi-
ness.n
And what are the taxpayers of the coun-
try to infer from this statement of Col
laday, a Democratic Representative in
Congress, made at the same time and
| place
"Grceey, at the outset of the war, was
in favor of letting the "wayward sisters de-
part in poace," and afterward went single
handed and alone to meet our Commission
ers in Canada, to treat for peace. Not q
Democrat in the North dared go with him,
or manifested any desire to go. He VAS
then in favor Of paying the South for her
slaves, and believe he is STILL"
These statements Of the candidate and
his friends are respectfully recommended
to the consideration of all men who believe
that their taxes are already sufficiently
heavy, and who propose that the results OF
( the war shall stand as they are, untinkered
and unimpaired.

4 WORD TO OUR FRIENDS. During
the two weeks of Court, a number of per-
sons from different parts Of the county,
dropped into our Office, and subscribed for
the american. Many told us that they had
heard of our paper, and were told that it
was decidedly the best and most reliable
paper in the county-others that they had
read copies and were so we'll pleased that
they had concluded to subscribe for it.
These facts satisfy us that with a little ex-
= ertion on the part of our friends, our pa
per could be introduced into hundreds of
families who do not now read it. Now, it
is desirable that this be done-desirable in
several particulars. 1t would enable us to

paper it would beLelit the cause IN which
We are engaged by bringing The principles

THE GERMANS AND wELs,; GOING FOR

THE GERMANS AND WELSH GOING FOR
GRANT.-It is n significant fact that the
German aud Welsh population are scarce
ly ever known to seek office-and 1t is also
noticeable fact that they are among our
most law abiding and useful citizens, and
as class, are less governed by political pre-
judice, which so frequently places the un-
worthy into power, than even our native
born citizens. Being generally educated,
they watch closely and understand all that
transpires in our national councils, and the
men who advocate the interests of the
laboring class. Coming to our shores for
the purpose of making themselves useful in
developing The vast resources Of our
country, and enjoying the inestimable pri-
vileges within tie reach of all through the
lberality of our institutions, they despise
the idea of seeking Office as soon as they be-
come citizens, but at once turn their atten-
ton to some useful calling, and earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow. This
class of foreign citizens are seldom known
to support any one but those whom they
believe will stand by their country's good,
and who will labor for its best interests.
Office seekers arc scorncd by them, as they
we'll know the evil effects produced by them
in the old country, and but few are known
who do not desire to advance Improvement
in their adopted home. In the present
election we find this class of our citizens in
favor of the reelection Of Grant. The
Germans are nearly a unit against the par
ty who are endeavoring to amalgamate all
nations, creeds, sects and isms to get pos
session of the National Government with
the expectation of changing its liberal laws,
and creating laws similar to those which
now Cypress the laboriug classes of Europe.
The Welsh are unanimous, and every
Welsh journal published in America now
has Grant and Wilson at its mast head.
This is significant, and shows that the
Germans and Welsh, who are undoubtedly
the most educated portion of our foreign
citizens, have studied well the character OF
the men between whom lays the future
welfare of the country. They believe that
U. S. Grant is the most capable to admin
lister its national affairs. Their actions
speak louder than words. Uninterested,
they look upon the situation with far more
candor than the American people, and
with minds we'll trained to national affairs,
they have determined, with cool and calm
deliberation, to support the man who is
best qualified to head our national govern
ment.

are Wm. l. Greenough, Esq, Gen. John

TIE Hon. JOIN b. PACKER.--Th
Dauphin County Republican Convention,
on Tuesday last, instructed their Conterees
for the Hon. john B. Packer as candidate
for Congress. All the counties in this Con-
ercssional District except Northumberland,
have declared Mr.. Packer their unanimous
choice for third term, and on the 10th of
September Northumberland will join her
sister counties, and make him the unani-
nous choice of the district This is pro-
badly the highest compliment that has been
paid to any Congressman ever elected in
district to which Northumberland county
was attached. This shows the high APP
probation the voters have for the son of the
mother of the counties of which this dis
trict is composed. Mr., Packers career as
a public servant, is one of the most bril-
liant in the State, and his services to his
constituents has not only given general sat
isfaction, out has proven him to be man
whose services cannot well be spared in our
national councils. Mr.. Packers course
has not only accrued to the advancement
of the interests Of his constituency, but al
so to that of the whole people, and both
political parties in that body are anxious
to have him returned, rs his counsel in the
perplexing questions arising in the affairs of
our national government are desirable.
His clear head and correct ideas in con-
ducting public affairs have placed him in
the front rank of our statesmen, and his
perseverance and great industry has gained
for him the respect and esteem of all. We
are happy to note this fact, as it shows that
this district has an officer whose promi-
nence in Congress will insure success in all
his efforts for the interests of his consttu-
ents--one who can exercise an influence
equal to any of our foremost statesmen.
In the selection of Mr.. Packer for third
term this district will do itself great hon
or, proving, as it will, that its citizens, ir-
respective Of party, are capable of appre-
ciating the services Of an officer Ofso high n
standard in general Notwithstanding that
they fully understand the importance of
demanding the services of q man in Con-
gress whose influence is such that he will
be placed in rank high among his peers ;
and his long experience in parliamentary
rules will give him craftsmanship of one
of the best committees.
