Ivabon was fined ®25 and costs for selling liquor without a license, be­ fore Esq. Beardsley, at Nunda, on Thursday of last week. He paid the costs and was given thirty days to pay the tine, Our Citizen's League have from time to time entered complaints against our saloonkeepers, and handed in a long list of names to be subp<cn;od as wit­ nesses, they being compelled to leave their work and business while said league remained at home and laughed in their sleeves to.soe them go. Those most interested thought if there was any *port in it they were willing to share it with said league, so on Wed­ nesday of last week they procured sub- po>na3S for the rank aud file% of the league, net slighting the clergy. On Thursday morning Officer Wandrack served the same to appear forthwith before Esq. Beardsley, at Nunda, to testify what they know about Thomas Kabou's beer. We saw by tne Algon- qniri"ftetns in the Elgin Advocate, of last week that said league were going to have some sport on that occasion, but it is doubtful if it was their inten­ tion to take an active part in the sport, if sport it was. There were a number from here at­ tended the outdoor dance at R. Hager's on Thursday evening of last week. It being a splendid evening all seemed to enjoy themselves, as is usually the case at such gatherings.

EDITOR PLAINDEALER: -- Although conscious that ail first-class journalists have for publishingsta'e or third-hand news, yet I take the liberty of sending you for re-publication the enclosed, fueling satisfied that the numerous in­ telligent, patriotic readers of the PLAINDEALER will heartily coincide with the writer thereof hi all that he says respecting un-American Ameri­ cans: s THE ONLY NATIONAL PAJBTY.--If the Presidential election should be decided wholly by the votes of genuine Ameri­ cans, native and adopted, a Republican victory would be certain by tremendous majorities.. But tiiere are. especially in the Eastern cities, and, to some ex­ tent, scattered all over the country, considerable classes of voters, both native and adopted, who are not, aud probably never will be, really Ameri­ cans. They are the men whose inter­ ests all or mainly lie iu feieign goods, foreign customs and foreign commerce; also the class who are always admiring everything English or Parisain, and always decrying American institutions; to whom may be added the Commun­ ists, Socialists and others who are so thoroughly saturated with foreign notions 'that genuine American ideas jievsr penetrate their understandings. There are petty newspapers in nearly all of our cities which are so un-Ameri­ can that thev are eternally prating about how much safer and wiser in their paltry opinions the British Par­ liamentary system Is than our American Congressional and Presidential system ; and who are asdudish iu their aping of foreign political ideas as are tbe mimic swells of Boston and New York in aping English custon s and cockney language and manners. These classes, who.are ashamed of the United States and of whom the Uhited Stales are ashamed, contribute a large vote to the Democratic party. Some of their for­ eign ideas have taken so strong a hold of the Democratic party that a majority of that party in a number of States is a great deal more British than Ameri­ can in its uetious about the tariff, and takes its pel itics largely from Cobden and other British clnbs. 1 If these for­ eign and un-American elements could he eliminated from the canvass, the Republicans would sweep not only every Northern State, but almost if not quite every Northern Congressional District. The Republican party is rapidly becoming.'i| it is not already, the only really National party; the only party governed by National Ideas and policies and purposes; the only party which truly represents the American people ; the only party upon which American citizens, native aud adopted alike, can rely for protection in their rights and for tho promotion of their interests both at home and abroad. Take out the un-American vote of the city of New York, and tha*, State would be solidly Republican, as every­ body knows. Take out that vote from other cities which are now Democratic and they would become firmly Republi­ can. Therefore we repeat that If the election could he decided only by tiie voters who believe iu our National sys­ tem of government, in our National politicul ideas, and interests, and prog- ress, and hope, aid the result would be a Republican victory so sweeping as to Astonish the country and the world. As for myself, that wild beast never prowled the jungle, that reptile never befouled the pure earth with his dirty slime, that ruftiair tramp or rowdy never annoyed his fellow man that I so utterly detest a# f d<v Ihe things (they are unworthy to be called men) that the above named spirited and patriotic writer refers to. We Americans have the greatest, the grandest, the noblest, the happiest and most prosperous, be­ cause t^ie best governed country on the face of the globe--especially 'for the last twenty-five years. And we and our posterity can always keep it so till the end of time if we and they wil! al­ ways remain true to our God, to our Country and to ourselves. But there is a damnable element at work in our midst, especially that of a foreign bribed and corrupted press, that will yet bring wide-spread ruin upon the land if the more patriotic portion of the press and people do not adopt timely and effectualnneans to prevent it. I have always held, and shall always liold regardless of resentment, that the native-born citizen that proves false to America 1s a monster, and that the for­ eign born citizen that had tolly hither from oppression, hunger, want and misery, that proves false to the kind mother that adapted and filled, and continues to fill him with "milk and honey," is not only a monster but a friend. That the true American peo­ ple, both native and adopted, will com­ mence iu earnest to suppress perfidy by electing Blaine and Logan next Nov­ ember to the Presidency and Vice- Presidency is the sincere wish of an IRISH-AMERICAN.
