litUIC ATIO POEM.
The following poem wa read by General
Ckslraey on tha dedication of Ahtletam Cem
etery. Teeming with patriotic postages
MJ rererrlng to scenes and incidents with
which a lame malnritv of th niwni wan
tnore or less f iniilmr, it elicited frequent bursts
m appiause. 1 lie poem Is as follows !
Upon a bright September morn,
Five years o to day,
The pleasant kills of M iryland

Vliile Autumn loaves were strewn around,
, hi purpie anil in gold.
Like that Assyrian host o'er which
The plague at midnight rolled.

Where soon the drum would play,
'And merrily Antlitam creek
Went singing on Its way j
But many a tattered banner thrilled
Upon the armory wall,
As If it felt the coming
Of a tempest soon to fall.
The tramp of Lee's battalions
Struck lidntly on the ear.
As thundei In the distanc e tells
A storm is drawing near:
Whilest retched along you bristling height,
ua jv:iiri men 01 gray,
Like leaden clouds that soon will burst
Ju niiu and dismay.
But round the Flag of Freedom
11-r stalwart yeomen stood,
Resolved its stars should never set
Till they,went down In blood.
Not flowei'fof sieecli lost on the blast
Had answered her appeal.
But marches, like a gathering storm
Or avalanche of steel.
With every hamlet adding
To the thunder of tlieir tre&d,
As If the Involution's graves
Were giving up the dead j
Or studi nn nghling In their dreams
The I'unlc was again,
Woke, in a holier cause to bleed
On red Aiitletam's plain.
The combat opened, nnd between
The volleys whistling then,
From every sulphur-cloud, were heard
The cheers of Hooker's meu :
And where the yellow corn hail wav'd
Artillery sowed the field,
Willi shot and shell, th.it make it still
An iron harvest yield,
Tes! In dark barracks underneath

By louder tru.ups than battle drew
There marshaled for the last review I
No more the pulse that heats so iruj,
Will quicken as the loud tatto
Ascends at sunrise from the camp.
Or sternly beat tliu measured tramp j
But hands unseen will hither bnug
The earliest violets of the stirim ,
And pilgrims who have viewed with awe
i ne ruins 01 mat Haunted shore,
Where shrouds of lava overspread
The silent cities of the deud.
And every step brines through the gloom
An echo from storied tomb,

To leave a holier shrine at homo .'
For every cloil we tread to-day

other cry and policy of the sullen feu

try which calls itself "J cmoeraey."
The conscious want of the country,
ot all the people and all the interests
m it, is peace, but how shall peace be
secured except by the will of the peo
ple as expressed in Congress ? That
will has defined the terms upon which
the late rebel Slates may resume their
places in the Union. The President
insists that Congress has no right to
declare terms, and that the rebels
were entitled to be represented the
moment they sun-endured. Tho De
mocratic party supports his theory
while it repudiates it personally. And
the great liiet, as we said, which every
thoughtful citizen should remember,
is that every act of the President anil
every success of the Democratic partv
stimulate the hopes of the rebels anil
prolong the contusion ot the country

To the Union Rei'uiilican Vo-
TEits of Allegheny County:
The time is at hand when your ser
vices arc again required at the polls.
The standard-bearer of loyalty for the
Mute is in your cherished tnend and
fellow-citizen, the Hon. Henry W.
Williams.
When one of your own liest citizens
has been nominated for the only State
oflii-e to be filled, it is eminently proper
that every vote should bo poflcd, and
a majority given him such as will sat
isly our friends abroad that Allegheny
county uot only appreciates her emi
nent son and jurist, but with sleepless
vigilance watches over the interests of i
the entire country.
Either Judge Williams or Shars-
wood, for the next fifteen years, if

hench of the Supremo Court of the
State, and may be tho' point upon
which may turn vastly Important
questions in which you are nil deeply
interested.
With the former von nre intimately
acquainted. You know him as a
hristian, a scholar and a patriot : as
an honest man and able jurist. AVhilst
ol Judge Shai-swood you have no per
sonal knowledge upon which to de-
eiid nsa guarantee of the future.
You have heard of him as the Judm
who decided greenbacks unconstitu
tional and wort!ilcss,nn opinion which,
if carried out, would have withheld
from your army tho very provisions
iiiicessary for tho suppression of the
rebellion.
In tho choice you arc to make, con
sult your own safety, do not fail to re-
moniiicr that one or the other of these
two men during their term ofoflice
may be called ujion to. decide ques
tions connected with tha public securi
ties oi tne country, with pensions,

out of the rebellion. On vonr own

the aggressive march of slavery until
the Almighty, in his Providence, has
smitten tho hydraheaded monster and
compelled it to droop and die. South
ern men acknowledge the Providence
and accept tho result; but Andrew
Johnson, under tho guidance of the
blacks and Illairs, with leading South
ern rebels, with .malignant hate for
the Republican anti-slnvcrv cause, are
endeavoring to reinstato in power the
Democratic party, and, if possible,
thwart the purpose of a wise and over
ruling Providence.
To effect this purpose they appeal
.i i . - ' i
to tne oascst passions ol human na
ture, excite and cling to prejudices of
tne worst kind, and connect themselves
with every issue in the land. What
intelligent man desires to fall back
upon 1'ierce and Buchanan times?
V ho does not remember tho Demo

building' up of an oligarchy, which, in

sage, "Reduce the nominal to the real
standard of value throughout the
world," by which the laborer here
would have been reduced to the stan
dard, of tho pauper labo? of Europe?
and , who docs not know that the
Democratic party designd to inaugu
rate that policy because tlieir Southern
masters required them to do so ?
The Republican partv. on the other
hand, favors progress, Jeyelopmeut of
employment to tho laborer with ful.
remunerative prices. We invito all
to come to our aid in this important
crisis von who coino to our shores

Though in the past our party may

men" that politicians, out ofoflice ami
lower, seek to influence, so as to re
gain their lost supremacy ; and with
out charging want of intelligence upon
those calling themselves by that hon
orable naine, may we not inonii-e
whether their present organization
does not include iimongils professing
friends some men not wholly free
from the taint of the late defunct
Democracy. Wo do not chart"! that
the organization is designed for any
other than a worthy purpose, but w.3
fear designing demagogues outside of
it, and perhaps in it, may endeavor to
use it to injure the Republican party.
And what candidate on the Kepubfi
can ticket is there who should merit
me opposition of the workm-r classes?
e venture thenscr!ion that there
not a man on mat ticket who is not
thoroughly indentified with the hard
working interests ol the country. And
being put in nomination by the party
in power, under whose rule the conn
try lias been, and is being rescue
in. . .
irom rebellion and ruin, is it just to
them, or safe to the country, to defeat
tlieir election t Having 1 hromr hont
the dark days of the past, stood side by
side with the lova masses, w m mil;..,!
under tho Republican banner, on the
battle-field, and at the polls. Whv

and if so, why should wo now "fall

Every change showing n decrease in
the Republican vote, or a defeat of
that ticket, all over the country, is
seized upon by the red-handed "unrc

allies the Copperheads who have
been planning the overthrow of Re

A little scrutiny will discover the

tne vctoran necromancers of the de
funct anti-war-so-callcd Democracy,

being escorted from the city to the fair
ground by it large concourse of soldiers
and citizonsjheaded by a band of music
and being appropriately received in
speech from R. Riddle Roberts, the
Governor replyed as follows :

That some of my old friend. i, my com

but stieu an overwhelming welcome ns
this, sir, was not expected by mr, and
to express the feelings ot one s heart
under such circumstances is not pos
sible. As a public ofliecr I might
consider tins one continuous sign of ad

-Mis. Piiesidext, Ladies axd Ge.v-
TLEME.v : Deeply sensible of the div.
tinguished honor that has been confer
red in selecting me to inaugurate tho
ceremonies and proceedinirs of the !
'cunsylvania State Azricultural Soci
ety, 1 am happy to appear before you
ior tiiai purpose, on tins interesting
occasion ot its annual exhibition.
Sixteen years ago a few intellisrent
citizens of the State, actuated by a spir
it oi enterprise ana benevolence, a
eaIous regard for the promotion of
the interests of agriculture and the
meclianic arts, and lor the honor and
prosperity of this good old Common
wealth, assembled together and orcran-
ized this now highly prosperous, sub
stantial and useful association .
It was exceedingly difficult at its
commencement to convince any con
siderable number of farmers, mechan
ics and partisbians that any material
benefit could accrue to them from such
institution, and hence it was for
some time regarded with apathy and
inuujerenoe,. jut as its advantages
began gradually to develop themselyw,
a change of sentiment rapidly occurred,
its utility was universally acknowledg
ed, and its benefits everywhere emi
nently rwlizcd j so that the society
has long since been assigned an honor
able rnnk among its kindred associa
tions in this country, and actually sur
passes in usefulness those fur which the
rural districts of Europe have for no-i s
been dintiiuruished. .
This usefulness is conspicuously
manifest on every hind in the increased.
and still iiicreasin!? interest that is
being evinced for tho improvement of
everything connected with and per
taining to agricultural pursuits tho
fertilization of tho soil, the rnisine of
horses, .cattle and other stock, and the
invention and inanufacturo of hun
dreds of improved implements to less -n
tho duration nnd difficulty of tlm
fanner's toil, increase his croris, and
consequently add fo the value of his
lands. It lias tended largely to ex tend
tho views, refine the fastes, nml to civo
greater impetus to tho energies of those
engaged in tho mechanic arts and in
tho cultivation of the soil : and the
country has put on new attractions to
delight the seniles with beautiful build
ings, highly cultivated fields, pardons.
fruit and flowers. Under its influen
ces "the wilderness and t he solllm-v
plaees havo been made triad and the
desert to njoice and blossom ns the
rose."
The progress of this institution in
its useful iiilluence has been steadily
onward, and notwitliKtandintr the storm
of civil strife that fop more than four
wig years swept with such violence
over tho country, calling tho artisan
lrom his workshop, the farmer from
his plough, and sprcadiii'' death, de
struction and desolation on every side,
tho Pennsylvania State Ao-rienlfnrnl
Society still lives, and we can reason
ably hone that renewed and still morn
determined citenrv and viiror will
'then it in tho performaneo of
even greater good.
I latiily that terrible contest has been
terminated. The strong arms and
stout hearts of tho men who loved
their country better than their lives,
with the unfailing aid which Diviuo
Providence gives to every good cause,
have been successful, nnd the attitude
of our Republic) to-day is that of a
strong fortress beaten in vain by tho
wrathful billows, now subdued and
broken nt its base; with a tried foun
dation, marked with tho scars of the
conflict., shaken but not broken ; crown
ed with tho symmetrical temple of
liberty tho sacred shrino of human
rights forever tho homo of freedom,
th".s sanctuary of the oppressed. Wo
can now say to tho sword, "Return to
thy sheath," and to the plough and
sickle, "Go firth," that all wounds
and jealousies may be healed, the peo
ple inspired with' renewed patriotism,
and the nation grow exceedingly in
strength and greatness, nnd in the
principles of universal liberty and
Christian brotherhood.
L t agriculture, manufactures nml
all (hearts "revel in the land ;" spread
fleets upon every river, lake and sen?
extend railroads wherever they will
best accommodate travel and the tran
sit of merchandise at the least possible
cost; protect the industry of the coun
try from foreign competition ; with
revcreronce maintain the sanctify of
tho laws; and with hopeful patriotism
spread abroad and maintain tho starry
banner of the country, and look upon
it ns the brow of promise and tho un
diminished emblem of our unity.
Then every citizen of the Republic
will realize tho beauties of civilization,
and in the cultivation of the refine
ments and enjoyments of education ap
preciate nnd fully realize that hislifh
is emblematical of the. beautiful rnott
of our beloved Commonwealth, "Vir
tue, Lilicrty and Independence."
At the conclusion of tho address,
which was listcnc.l to by a lame con
course of persons who had assembled
in the amphitheater, Governor Gearv
was escorted to tho judges tent, where
io was introduced to a number of cit
izens. He will remain in the citv
luring the continuance of tho Fair.
