From ali parts of the country re-
ports come of the immense sales and
increasing demand for that deserv-
ingly popular Sewing Machine, The
Old and Reliable "STANDARb," the
price of which the proprietors wisely
reduced to $50, including all the at
tachments, and at once secured for
them a popularity among the peo-
pie, far beyond that ever yet attain
ed by any other machine at any
price, the consequence of which is,
agents are leaving the old high priced
machines, and seeking territory for
the "STANDARD." Knowing from
experience that with the best goods
at the lowest price they can outSell
all other Machines, where the supe-
ior quality and low price is made
known. This splendid Machine
combines all the improvements. Is
far ahead of all others in beauty and
durability of its work, ease Of man.
agement, light running and certainty
of operation, is sensibly made upon
sound principles, with positive work
ins parts all steel, and can be safely
put down as the very perfection of
Serviceable Sewing Machine, in
every particular, that will outlast
any Machine, and at price far down
below any other. 1t is thoroughly
warranted for five years. Kept in
orderfree of charge. And sent to any
part Of the Country for examination
by the customer before payment of
the bill. We can predict equally as
large a demand for them in this
section as in others. Families desir.
ing the best Machine manufactured
should write direct to the Factory.
And enterprising persons wishing to
seize the cnance should apply for SO
| desirable an agency. See advertise

What is RepublicaniSm.

/. 1t is to believe that in the recent
terrible struggle between the North
and the South there was Il right side
and IA wrong side; that the side of
National unity and human freedom
was the right side and the side of
disunion and human slavery the
wrong side; and tHat sound political
morals and the future safety of the
country demand that this fact shall
not be forgotten, and the tangible
results Of the war in ccmenting the
Union, destroying the States rights
hcresy and establishing freedom and
equality Of rights for all citizens shall
not be disturbed.
II. 1t is to believe that. the debt
incurred for the prosecution of the
war is a sacred obligation to be dis
charged in full according to the letter
and spirit Of the contract, and not to
be shirked or eVaded on any pretence
whatever. 1t holds the public credit
and the National honor as ofsupreme
importance, to be jealously guarded
against all open and insldious
schemes that seek to undermine the
one and degrade the other.
III. 1t is to believe that real
money is what the common practice
and common sense of the world have
made it from time immemorial-
gold and Silver--and that sound and
honest paper currency, affording 4
stable measure of value and a medium
of exchange alike fair for debtors and
creditors, and adapted to all The legi
innate wants of business, must be
eXchangeable for coin on demand of
the holder. From this it follows
that Repubicanism condemns un-
qualifieuly all theories and projects
for repeating the resumption law and
issuing "liat money"
", 1t is to believe that every
man should be protected in the en-
.jOyment of the fruits Of his own in
dustry, sagacity and talents, and that
schemes for dividing property and
bringing men down to a dead Level
of earnings and incomes, whether
they be called Communism, Social
ism or NatiOnalism, are destructive
of the best interests of the individual
and of society, and tend directly tC
barbarism.
V. 1t is to believe that as govern
ments are instituted for the benefit
of,the governed, the duty OfC0ngres,
is, by proper legislation to develop
the resources of the country and pro
tect ITS industries against ruinous
/ foreign competition.
/ VI. II is believed that honesty anC
capacity should be essential qualiti
cations Tor public offices; that the
course of public affairs should be
shaped by the intelligent and virtu
Gus portion of the community anC
not by the ignorant and vicious tha
education should be widely dit'used
that religion should be divorced from
politics, that citizenship should conle
equal rights and privileges; and tina
all avenues of industry, sobriety
and economy, that lead up from
poverty to prosperity should be KEEP
wide open by law and custom, in or
der that the poor may not becom,
poorer and the rich richer, and tina
comfort and competence may be tn,
portion of the many and not Of tn,
few.

The Citizen has again started the
old parrot cry Of harmony for the
hundredth time, and yet the colonel
knows that he is this day response
bic for all the dissension that exists
in the ranks Of the Democratic party
of Frederick county. The duplicity
with which he acted in the appoint
ment of Governor Carrnll's officers
for Frederick county-his treachery
to the people of his town and county
his sdemagogueism-his lobbyism and
other acts of questionably propriety,
have well nigh diSruptured the par
ty. The call for harmony from him
comes with bad grace. The best
thing that this young man can do
for the harmony Of the party is to
follow Greeley's advice and go West.

New YORK, Aug. 15.-The Times says the
Sherman-Anderson letter, the document which
it was said was given by Secretary Sherman to
the witness, Jas. r. Anderson, of Louisiana,
has been found and is now either in the hands
or under the control of the Potter committee.
It's whereabouts has been unknown for some
time. Gen. Butler has mentioned the facts of
its discovery to various persons lately and has
conversed with them regarding it, and Senator
of the United States, as we'll as several other
officials, have also knowledge of its existence
and of the fact that it is eventually to be
brought forward. The intention regarding it
is to continue the taking of testimony before
the Potter committee until the early part of
October, and then spring the letter on the
public as grand surprise, for the purpose of
making Democratic votes at the election in
that month and the ensuing ones in November.

the other railroad managers to the policy which
he desired. The plan OF cutting off commits

would generally consent to 30 sweeping

was expected that the Erie and other mpanies
would oppose the plan when the report of the
commission to which the mat
ter was referred was brought up
in general meeting, but Mr.. Jewett, for the
Erie, expressed hearty approval of the steps,
and the report was adopted by unanimous
vote. The report of the arbitors as to the di-

are satisfied. to abide by it. The Chicago & Al

SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 25.-The Tilden op-
ponents in the Democratic party have been &C
lively discussing methads to prevent his re-
gaining control of the machinery of the party
of this State. The Tammany Democrats here
from New York city, and those who sympathize
with them, seem more concerned about the
matter at present than about any other politi-
cal question. They express great confidence
that they will control the State convention,
and the State committee to be named at the
convention. There has been considerable
talk about recognizing the party
in those counties in which Mr..
Tildens influence is strongest and some of the
leading men hostile to the ex-Presidential can
didate have been consulting in an informal
way about the means to accomplish that object.
A strong effort will certainly be made in the
convention to exclude the King county dele
CATION sent by the Mclaughlin Democrats and
many Brooklyn politicians here are nervous.
Prominent Tammany Democrats talk bitterly
about the leaders of the regular organization
in King county. The possibility of any COM
bination between Chief Justice Church friends
and Mr.. Tiden's followers to control the party is
denied by we'll informed Democrats. The Chief
Justice has certainly shown no evidence of any
change Of base while at Saratoga.
