A GRAND Centennial party was given at
Fowler's Haitlast evening.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1876-08-31

gg@ The Democrat of this week in its
article as to what the Democratic House had
done, in vein of accidental honesty drops
the following:-It says.
1t removed the officials of the former
House and put men in sympathy with the
purposes Of the majority"
True for once, Mr.. Democrat. Who
doubts it? But who thought you would
admit it? Whom did it remove! Why
only about fifty crippled Union Soldiers, and
put in their place ex-Confederate Soldiers.
The man who served as Sergeant-at-Arms in
,he Confederate Congress, this model reform
Democracy made Door Keeper. The man
who so far approved of the murder of Presi-
don't Lincoln as to name his child J. Wilkes
Booth they made Secretary of the Ways
and Means Committee.

TO TEEE LARORIyG MAN

What is the cause of low wages?
What causes the laboring man to be
thrown out Of employment?
Who caused the depreciation of the value
Of your property?
Who has caused your house and lot to be
mortgaged?
Who has been the cause of your getting
into debt and making your future dark?
Who, in general, is the cause of the hard
times
The Democratic party by making war
against the Union has brought all these
calamities upon the land.
If we had had no war these things would
not be upon US.
Who made the war? The Democracy.
4 pretty party to preach reform. A GER
tain parsonage called Satan, tried to reform
another certain character but we read that
he signaly failed
We trust that the same success will crown
the efforts of the Democracy at preaching
reformation next fall.

determine the same matter in the same way.
Just so long as the South stands solid with
the Democratic party, certain it is that the
Democratic party will be beaten at the polls
that is united South is certain to produce
a substantially united North against them.
1t is their own fault, we have no feeling of
enmity against them whatever, they are their
own enemies as we'll as ours.
Why is it that the Southern Whites do
not join with the Republican party, or at
least say one half of them. If they did so it
would be certain to carry every election and
the Southerners would then have an equal
voice with the Republicans but they do not
become Republicans, hardly one of them,
and the reason they do not is because they
hno,o they cannot get patriotic Republicans
to carry out Southern sectional ideas.
Joined with the Republicans they would be
obliged to abandon sectionalism in favor of
patriotism. With the Democratic party
however they can do as they please, they
always did control it, and they expect to
again, and they certainly will if they get into
power Tilden may be good man himself,
but his surrounders will be the same danger
Gus men who plunged the country into civil
war, and it is the serious question for the
North whether they will take the risk of
again trusting these men with power
Here then is the one great distinct Issue
that is going to decide the coming election.
Everything else succumbs to it, because it
towers paramount above them all in import
ance. It's a pity that it is so, but as we said
before the Southerners force it themselves,
and let us hope that some day they will see
their error, when that day comes, there will
be a recognising of parties. The Demo
cratic papers arc growing over their success
in Alabama, can they not see that this is the
very thing that is going to defeat them in
November? Every Southern State that
votes Democratic, all the huge majorities of
the South, are all in favor of the election OF
Hayes, because they serve to unite the
Northern people more and more against
them, and the united sectional South, show
ing us their hand so openly, will surely meet
the same defeat they always have met with,
defeat that they richly deserve. Reform
is false Issue, other questions may be
doubtful Issues, but the South against the
North is a true practtcul liriag Issue, and
millions of patriotic Americans will vote on
this one question alone, and it will carry
Hayes into the White House, just as surely
as it carried Lincoln and Grant

Lehigh AID Eastern Railroad.

1t looks now as though the building of
thlsroad, to our section important new railroad
was really going to prove something more
than mere talk. From official sources we
learn that the building of the whole line has
been contracted for by responsible and exper-
fenced parties from the Eastern States, and
that ground has already been broken at the
Matamoras, Pike county, end. BY the terms
of the contract the road is to be completed
by April 1877, SO that by another year at
farthest the prospect is good for new through
route from the coal fields of the upper Lehigh
region to Boston and New York are really
encouraging. Another matter which encour-
ages the idea of the building Of the road is
the assurance of the building of the bridge
over the Hudson river at Poughkecpsie, by
which the Lehigh and Eastern road will
secure direct and uninterrupted connection
with the manufacturing districts Ofthe East.
All the bridge stock, several millions of dol
lars worth has been subscribed and that work
will, Judging from the parties, in interest, be
pushed on so vigorously as to insure its speedy
completion. We have before adverted to
the Lehigh and Eastern road, and its great
Importance to this neighborhood, and our
people will stand greatly in their own light if
they do not extend every aid advised by a
most liberal spirit to the company engaged
in building it.
