beg Organize" should now be the word
The time has come when the great battle can
and should be made short, sharp and decisive.
Consultation can secure concert of action, and
concert of action only can secure victory. To
work then, Republicans. We must not be
discouraged here because man or two has
left MS to take seat within the leaky hull of
the ship Democracy" Double the number
have left that boat and have joined US in the
support Of Giant and Hartranft, and more
will come if we are true to ourselves and
more than that, the majority of the few who
have ostensibly left us, will be with us
when the day of trial comes. They cannot
feel enthusiastic amid Democratic surround
ings; and their eyes are opening TO the fact
that if sacrifice is made it is better by far that
it should be the Farmer of Chappaqua than
the best interests Of the Union of these States.
To work then, Republicans, let there be con-
sultaton, and organization, and unceasing Ia
Dor for the accomplishment of the glorious aim
of Republicanism-the still greater advance
ment of the prosperity of the Union and the
people.

Gss@ 1t is rumored on our streets that a
Committee of our Democratic fellow citizens,
are to proceed to Northampton and Carbon
counties, at once, and assure the Democracy
of those counties, that unless the voice of
Monroe as expressed by her County Conven-
tion and her Congressional Conferees are
needed, the Democratic State Ticket will lose
at least one thousand votes in this County
with feelings of deep seated charity we
anticipate the action of these committees and
proclaim the fat to our distant brethren.
Now sick EN- boys, Go at EN- with will, and
see how much of scare you can get up.

Ray- Our Democratic friends are making
extensive preparations for a grand rally of the
faithful hereabouts, on the 23rd inst. A
taxing committee was busy at work among
the aspiring members on Monday last, and
succeeded in drawing frcm SIS to $40 from
each of the candidates We do not know
how much of pile was raised, but we are
informed that it was considerable and it
must have been if each of the candidates
forked over The party having already
reached the lowest depth of political corrup-
ton, the leaders have no hope of making
anything by the expenditure of the fund with
a view of making anything more in that way
and have, consequently proclaimed their in
tention to devote it to music, and to build up
that glorious kind of Democratic patriotism,
which is more certainly secured by free
imbibing of bad whiskey The desire is to
make the Democratic crowd, on the 23d, as
furiously for Buckalcw as possible; and as
they know Charley carries none of the essence
of enthusiasm or patriotism, either in his
person vi SpcecheS, Ihey lhInh IL pcSl tiidC d

the farmer of Chappaqua, is not to be pre-
sent A few of his ponderous TRADES
against the ''becr swilling dutch" and the
''whiskey Democracy" patchworked into a
Temperance sermon, might have the effect to
render the faithful as docile and quiet as are
tombStones in a graveyard.

ssy- THE elements ragged against the Demo
cracy on Saturday last, despoiling the "organ"
most outrageously by knocking Off both its
head and its tail. The elements were doubtless
right in the matter. The "organ" of party
whose only hopes of sailing into the Treasury
snug-harbor, rests in the power derived from a
head and caudle appendage borrowed from life
long enemies, deserves some rufiing up. The
elements seeing the impropriety of the names
OF Greely and Brown carried under the name
of Democracy, first ripped off the Steam CHM
ney of the Monroe Democrat, and then blew
down its Sign ominous of the greater ripping,
which Its remaining head and tail will receive
in October and November.

The amount of business transacted in the

The amount of business transacted in the
sewing machine trade, in this county, is
really surprising. A few days since we drop
ped into the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing
Machine parlors, first door above the Strouds-
burg House, and we found Mr.. James Boys,
their agent in this place, busiy engaged in
packing and shipping machines. Mr.. B. in
forms us that his supply of machines is en-
tirely inadequate to the demand, he having
more orders than he can supply for some
time. The fact that the last machine re-
ceived from the company by Mr.. Boys was
numbered Cos, 800, more than double the
amount manufactured by either the Grover
& Baker or Howe Co.'s sufficient guar
antee of the superior merits of this machine

BagThe Pet Lambs of Democracy, assem-
ble in Annual Convention, at the Court
House on Monday afternoon last The con-
vention, as was expected, resulted in the
nomination of Hon. Richard S. Staples, for
the legislature, and in the selection of Con-
gressional conferees, instructed to support
the claims Of the Hon Charlton Burnett, to
the next Congressmanship.
The nomination of Mr. Staples is a sort of
left handed victory for the Monroe Demo-
cTat, and We congratulate the proficient prof
fessor, who makes the Organ CO. thereup-
on. The Organ, it will be remembered,
pitched into Mr.. Representative for failing to
vote against the Election liquor bill last
spring, and assured him that if he dared to
favor the local option bill, his cake, in shape
of future rewards, would be all dough- Mr.
Representative, however didn't scare a
bit at this, went on without apology for his
failure to vote against the first named mea-
sure, and when local option came up gave
it his most hearty support. According to
the Organ, whiskey was most important
element of Democracy, not only at elections,
but everywhere else and vote against it,
In any shape, would be the political death of
the voter. The representative, went both
eyes on it, Notwithstanding, and was renom-
mated without opposition conclu-
sively that the organs threats, like Rory
O. More's, dreams, work by contraries.
P.I-
was around, looking, 1t is said, after the
nomination for member Of the constitutional
Convention. The latest report is, however
that lie is out of that-the Office having
already been farmed as a reward for the little
shin kicking INDUCED in last fall, and to keep
things quiet in future
The Convention was more than usually
harmonious, and was addressed by Mr..
Brundage, Of Luzerne Co., at its conclusion.

Our popular clothier, Mr. n. Ruster,
has but recently returned from the cities, with
the largest stock of ready-made clothing, hats
and caps, and gents furnishing goods, ever
brought to this place. His immense stock also
embraces ladies dress goods and notions OF
every description, for fall and winter wear. A
visit to his store will convince you that not only
is his stock the largest and most complete in
every department, but that his prices are the
most moderate of any dealer in the county.

ORE.-The Iron Mountains of Missouri
have recently been described by the State
Geologist. Sheppard Mountain is $50
feet hight, and the ore contains large
percentage of iron. Pilot Knob is Ills
feet high and the area Of cross section
5lS feet from the summit is $50 acres
Iron Mountain has an elevation of 22S
feet with an area at its base of 500 acres
The mountains, it is calculated, contain
enough ore above the surface to yield one
million tons year for the next two hun
dred years. The iron made from this
ore is strong, tough and fibrous.

The latest returns of the West Vir.
ginia election leave the result still 10
doubt. There is reason to believe the
new Constitution has been adopted, aud
that Jacobs is elected by small major
ity. Several counties are yet to be heard
from officially. That part of the new
Constitution which excluded negroes from
holding public Office has been over
whelmingy beaten. Whatever may be
the result on other issues, it is cause OF
qualification to know that this reaction.
airy measure on the part of the Democratic
leaders has been hopelessly defeated
