Mr. Lukens made a very brief address.
Mr. Henry C. Hawkins, secretary, then read the
following resolutions and address:
Whereas, The Republican Invincibles have, in
former campaigns, materially aided tho ltjpubli
can cause, not only in our city, but in many por
tions of the State, and have been the maans of
gathering in young men, undecided upon which
side to cast their lot, we feel the time has arrived
when we, as a club, for this campaign at least,
should direct our entire energies to securing, by
other means, those great and glorious results,
which, in the past, we have been instrumental in
achieving by our torches and our banners; there
fore, be it
Keeolved, That in view of tho foregoing, we issue
an address to the young men of Philadelphia, call
ing upon them to rally to our standard, and by
their energy and power assist in spreading our
cause and preventing bold bad men from earning
power; who love not the party but spoils of the
victor, anu wnose xurusis must ere long sap tne
lite blood of the greatest and best principles ever
enunciated by mortal man.
Resolved, That we, the Republican Invincibles
of Philadelphia, heartily iudorse the national aud
State administrations, earnestly recommend tuj
regular nominees of the Republican party in the
city as worthy the support of the people.
To the Republican citizens of Philadelphia:
The Republican Invincibles of Philadelphia, were
organized iu the memorable year of 18UD, by young
men whose onl object in entering into the political
arena, was to uphold the government in iu strag
gle with the principles enunciated by tba Dowj
cratio party, as represented by the rebels of tne
south, aud their sympathizers of the north, in pre
serving the unity and purity of our national insti
tutions; seeking no oiltce, controlled by ujcli'iu),
and desiring only tho dissemination, aud establish
ment, of Republican principles, on the broad basis
- "that all men are created equal and enJoweJ wlrh
certain inalienable rights among which are life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
The club has fully sustained its reputation as an
active, independent aad fearless organization in
the political campaigns for the past teu years, and
at the opening of the present one we feel tree to
call on all those who are in sympathy with the
lrinciples we advocate aud tho selection of worthy
candidates to represent- them, to unite with us in
their support. This organization presents an op
portunity for a practical movement toward reme
dying some of the evils and abuses that have unfor
tunately gained a foothold in our party, aud which
only can be reached by organized action, thus
making politics something more than a mere laddar
by which selfish and unpriucipled men may climb
to place and power.
We desire to gain the active co-operation of all
who, by precept and practice, will cause an In
creased interest in delegate and primary elections,
and jealously guard the purity and honor of our
great party. We discountenance all so-called reform
movements outside of the party organization, as
tending only strengthen the rauks of the Demo
cracy. The chairman then introduced the lion. Henry
Wilson, of Massachusetts, who said:
Ladies and gentlemen I heartily thank you for
your reception this evening. 1 wish to speak to
the young men of Philadelphia. I shall never for
get the acts of the women and the men during the
war. The ballots you put in the ballot boxes, the
aid you gave to those going to the front aud coming
to the rear, will live in the history of that war.
We are here now for the same great cause. You
belong to the great Hepublican party, which has in
its ranks more than 4,000,000 of loyal men.
1 sometimes hear it said that the Republican
party has achieved its great work and it has little
more to do. The man who utters that sentiment
little comprehends the condition of the country.
The party have achieved a greater work than was
ever accomplished by any party in any other coun
try. We have established the country on a basis of
equality to all men, but our work is not complete.
We want behind this the patriotic, liberty-loving
men who have accomplished all this.
As slavery was abolished, it is not human nature
that those principles will continue unless sus
tained. No one doubts the patriotism of the Republican
party. We never tired on the dag.
You owe it to your country to stand by the party
till we teach the rebels the language of liberty, and
give them time enough to apologize for their acts.
Never trust a party that has hundreds of thousands
of traitors and copperheads in its ranks, who apolo
gi zed while they were aiding the foes of the nation.
We have amended the Constitution, and made it
impossible for a slave to tread on American soil.
We were able to stand against the seductions of a
President and the machinations of the Democratia
party, and we crushed both.
We reconstructed the south and established it on
a firm basis. Our work of reconstruction is alnut
completed. The war left an army on our hands,
which the world said we could not disband. Rut
they did not know the young men or the country.
We sent them to their homes. We elected General
Grant to make the debt sacred to reduce the pub
lic debt. In eighteen months we have reduced the
debt in round numbers l70,O00.000, while in the
last eighteen months of Johnson's administration
it was reduced butl,0o0,0O0.
The currency of the United States to-day Is worth
1179,000,000 more than it was when General Grant
rame Into ottice.
The speaker then spoke of General Grant's acts
for the amelioration of the condition of the red
men. He then said the Hepublican party was
created to carry on reforms, as it Is a reform In Itr
self.
Vounfl men. stand firm in the ranks of the party,
Afccit yihat God, "J Uoi wUduaij shall give you to
do. Both parties have good and bad men, but there
re a vast majority of Christiana, yon know, in the
Republican party. Keep the party right and keep
Fenrmj Ivanla and Philadelphia right, and stand h7
the men who have made the party. The Republi
can party was formed to carry out ideas, and not
to put men in office.
The speaker then took his seat, and Hon. Win, D.
Kelley made a brief address, after which the moot
ing adjourned.
TUP WAR.
LAST NIGHT'S DESPATCHES.
TDK rRUSRIAN TROOPS BURROTJNDINO PARIS
BISMARCK AND THE PEACE QUESTION A RE
PORTED ARMISTICE THE SIEGE OF BTBA8BURO
AN ASSAULT EXPECTED BOON.
LOHDOlt, 8ept. 16.
A dispatch from Berlin states that only a few
curious travellers thus far have visited Wllhelms
baven since the arrival there of the Emperor Na
poleon, and more than half of these were Ameri
cans. On Friday last the Duchess of Hamilton
visited the Emperor. He dresses in an undress uni
form, and has Dr. Conveaux professionally on his
right during his almost incessant walks. The
Princes Muratand Muskowa, Dr. Charles Payot
and Viscount Bealle are in his company much of
the time.
A Paris correspondent of the Times writes to tho
evening edition as follows: "There are those win
think it possible that France would give up a por
tion of her fleet, pay the cost of the war, raz i the
walls of Strasburg and Metz, abolish the oonscrip
tion and accept the limitation of her army as the
price of peace, but nobody believes that she will
cede a foot ol her territory."
The Empress Eugenie is greatly annoyed by the
army of sight-seers who follow her and stare at her
whenever she appears in public.
In his dispatches, General Ulrich, commndait
at Strasburg, admits that the situation is desperate.
General Von Werther, the Prussian commander,
deters the general assault on the city in ordar that
the garrison may not be uselessly butchered.
London, Sept. 16. Special to the New York
Herald. A dispatch from Brumath, eleven miles
NNW from Strasburg, from a special correspond
ent who came from the front at Stranburg yester
day, says that a heavy fire was continued all iliy
from the heavy guns on the third parallel, causing
great destruction to the walls and citadel. The
etl'ort to carry the fortitlcations by storm will doubt
less be made to-morrow. Several fires had broken
out in the city from the ceaseless bombardment.
Early yesterday morning;, a (lag of truce was dis
played by the French, aud it was hoped that it
mennt a capitulation.
The tiring ceased, and an officer and guard ad
vanced toward the Prussian lines, asking, In the
name of General Ulrich, a cessation of the tiring to
enable a party of females and a few wounded civi
lians, who bad hitherto persisted in remaining, to
leave the city. The request was granted. Some
of the fugitives, in conversation, stated that the
sufferings of the people were intense.
The provisions are served, and in very limited
quantities, and the mortality and sickness causod
by the deprivations continued very great.
On the 14lh, the citizens inido another appeal to
General Ulrich to yield to the inevitable destiny.
The commander replied that his position was, ia)it
painful, but he must at all hazards discharge hii
duty to bis country.
A Paris dispatch of to-day says that the ad
vance of the Prussians steadily continues. Last
night a large body of troops left the walls and pro
ceeded in the direction of St. Denis. It Is believed
that they intend to engage the advanced forces of
the enemy and retreat toward the fortifications on
the approach of tho main body.
The blockade of the Baltic and North Sea ports
has been officially raised.
London, Sept. 20 Special to the New York Tri
bune. A correspondent telegraphs from Berlin
on Friday afternoon, as follows: Duke William of
Mecklenburg'B official reports say that the capitu
lation of Eiion took place on the basis of that of
Sedan arms to be laid down, the Uardo Mobile
to be discharged on parole, und the line infantry to
go under escort to this city. Many otlicers, in
cluding tho French commander, remained in the
yard of the citadel, and when the last man had
passed the citadel gate, two powerful detonations
were heard in quick succession. The powder maga
zine, shells, cartridges, and a mine exploded, and
all In the yard were buried in the ruins. There
was fearful destruction, and the losses cannot be
ascertained.
The French are ordering imraonse quantities of
arms and ammunition from England.
Mr. Lowe, Chancellor of the Exchequer, In a
speech to-day at Elgin, pronounced in the strongest
manner against intervention or mediation between
France and Prussia in any form whatever. Inter
vention means an abandonment of neutrality, but
we have no desire whate er to be drawn into a
quarrel not of our own seeking. I see no reason
whatever to apprehend that we shall. Mediation
we tried before the war, but when you come to
speak of mediation after the sword has been
drawn, vou eet a totally uinerenr, set or considera
tions. It is no longer a question of the rights of
parties, but a question ot relative power. The
sword is an evil mediator, but does its work de
cisively; and If, after the parties have called the
sword in, we were to begin to mediate, then we
should be wearing our neutrality exceedingly thin.
Tne connicttng nations Know tneir own strenutu,
and what thev require for security. If a third na
tion tries to interpose between them, whatever ad
vice it gives, it must take sides witu either one or
the other, and so cease to be neutral. Should we
advise Prussia to be content with less than she de
mands, we should be actually taking the part of
France against Prussia, and throwing our moral
weight into the scale in favor of France. If, on
the other hand, we advised France to accept terms
she deemed inconsistent with her national dignity,
we should be taking the part of Prussia, what, in
my judgment, we ougnt to avoid.
Military men of experience here say that the
power of the city to resist is limited only by the
supply of food. General Trochu has 410,000 men
under arms, who will become good soldiers behind
the ramparts.
The citizens are determined to emulate Stras
bure. If the city holds out three months the Prus
sians will be driven back to the Rhine.
General Trochu's proclamation on Wednesday
discloses the fact that the most efficient prepara
tions for defence have been made.
The enemy will have to make their way over
barricades, if they succeed in battering down the
fortifications, or get in by surprise.
it is rumored tnat tne urown uiamonus, loagea
by the Empress In the Bank of France, are of
paste, and that the real ones were sold long since,
through an American dentist, named Dr. Evans,
aud the money converted to the use of the Imperial
family.
London, Sept. 1C Special to the New York
Times. Our correspondent writing from Paris,
Sept. 10, says: Bread and meat have fallen in
price, but salt and provisions have risen.
An immense supply of powder, 3,000,000 kilo
grammes, is within the walls of Paris.
A signal telegraph has been put on the Arch of
Triumph to correspond with that at Fort Valerian.
A new system of signals have been arranged of
colored lights. When the trees are removed, the
movements of the enemy will be vislhle from the
signal station. Underground wires will run from
station to station. Balloons will be used and pho
tographic bird's-eye views taken continually ot the
enemy's advance and sent instantly to General
Trochu.
London, Sept. 17. Special to the New York
Herald. Paris does not occupy herself solely with
the defence of her walls. Geuoral Vlnoy, at the
head of a new army, has commenced exterior ope
rations and manoeuvres to prevent the invasion of
departments where the enemy can seize provisions.
Two corps are ready for the west and centre pro
vinces. The Comtxtuttonnel says a Prussian corps will
occupy Havre and Cherbourg.
Galiynani says, In order to stop the latest advance
northeast at Neullly-sur-Marne and south at Cre
tiel, a force of sharpshooters successfully attacked
the Prussians near Guldnes.
Pabis, Sept. 16. The Prussians are at Creteil,
Clamart, Charenton, and St. Oreen, almost within
cannon snot of the walls of Paris.
A number of prisoners were taken yesterday by
the Prussians, and sharpshooters and several cju
voys of munitions of war aud provisions were also
captured. '
The Prussians now occupy some small woods
around Paris, which were too green to burn.
Cannonading aud musketry tiring have been
heard all day in the direction or iiourge.
A number of vaitrants who were lately expelled
from Paris, finding themselves between the walls
of the elty and the Prussian army, endeavored to
forcibly re-enter Paris, but were driven away by
the troops. Many Prussian spies were arrested
yesterday Id aud around Paris, and the people were
with difficulty restrained from killing them. Tweu-ty-two
thousand Gardes Mobile troiu Brittany ar
rived in the city yesterday. General Ducrot, whs
escaped from Sedan reached Paris yesterday, and
will be at once auDOlnted to an important com
mand. The diplomatio corps will leave if a bom
bardment actually commences.
Paris. Sent. 16. 9.60 P.M. The ranuel has last
been sounded, and the Garde Mobile and Gird
Nationals are called to arms, and the sentinels
doubled on the ramparts. The Prussians have bueu
siaualized. Several uhlans captured at Meaux
have been brought into the city by the gans d'armes
of Creteil. In the morning an engagement t-ok
place on the road from Melun to Brie-Comte-Ro-tert.

Heraid The huit-iing ol the rd dig at Lyons in
defiance of the government "-eates pain and un
esflnrs. Severe mrssures will be taken against
the offenders. The nanus or the editors who have
left Paris are to be published.
The workmen of the city form sixty-six batta
lions, comprising SO. Oof) men. They are among the
most determined defenders of the city, and are re
solved on a war of extermination.
Visitors to Paris will remember Cotte's restau
rant, on the corner of the Rue Royale and Rue de
Honore. As I left tho Place do U Ooncnrde the
crowd was gazing on the closed shutters of the res
taurant, on which was written In large letters in
chalk, "Closed in consequence of robbery 40 cen
times 8 sous for a small loaf, with 2 sous 1 franc 70
centimes for bock beer. Justice has been done.
Closed by order of the sovereign people till the
end of the war."
Pere Hyaclntho has published a letter expressing
the warmest gratitude to the United States for her
prompt recognition of the Republic. He has been
prevented by illness from going as a chaplain in
the army, He also says a letter is addressed by
Minister Washburne to the Minister of Foreign
Affairs. It says tho creation of the French Ui
public is a page in the history of liberty in both
worlds. It revives the memory of Washington and
Lafayette, and proves that if despatlsms succaded
in dividing the two governments liberty had not for
a moment ceased to unite tho two nations. Europe
still keeps silent, while America, notwithstanding
the ocean separates us, makes her voice heard.
The I'russians are closing in on Paris in a way
that Indicates an attack on tha southern and south
eastern fides, and In that direction, so as to reserve
their support, and at tho same time to prevent rein
forcements from the south and west to the besieged.
The Herald's correspondent dined last night with
Victor Hugo and his family. His two sous, with
their young wives, were present. The illustrious
writer, in reply to some remarks, said many stri
king things. He said he hid come to Pans to share
tie perils of her citizens. He had no public role to
fill. His poor presence on the ramparts might he
useful. He would go daily unarmed and stimulate
the ardor of the patriotic defenders of the city. He
regarded the attack on Paris as absurd as well as
cruel. The war was begun against the Emperor;
now he is a prisoner, and tho King of Prussia sends
him a retinue of servants, and sends us, who never
provoked this war, bombshells.
Never was there an act so atrocious In history. I
don't know, continued be, as a cloud overshadowed
his face, "what part may fall to my lot to play be
fore the awful drama closes, but Paris has the
choice of determined defence and cowardly surren
iler. If it fhould, though it seems impossible, de
cide upon the latter course I can only return in
exile to my old retreat, in Guernsey. If it elocts
the former I trust to see every quarter of Paris,
one after another, blown to atoms, the enemy,
corps after corps, battalion after battalipn, buried
in the same grave with my resolute fellow-cblzsns.
If that way Paris must perish. While the spec
tacle may horrify the world, it will bo followed by a
resurrection of the democracy of France and Ger
many, who will avenge the terrible catastrophe.
Pakib, Sept. 16, 10 P. M Special to the New
York Tribune. Marshal Vaillant has been ar
rested. Ho presented himself at bastion 5, and was
recognized by the officers, and seized by the
crowd and taken to tho post of bastion 6 amid
hostile demonstrations. He was afterwards con
veyed in a coach to the office of the Governor of
Paris.
The indignation was caused by a report that he
hnd said he came by order of the Emperor. He had
a permit signed by General Trochu. The crowd
assailed the oftice of Trochu, but the Marshal is
in safety. Trochu reviewed to-day the advance
guard ot the corps of 10,000 American volunteers.
This morning a squadron of mounted scouts skir
mished with Prussian hunsars near St. Denis, and
wounded two of them, and had three men wounded.
A company of the 11th battalion of the Mobiles
attacked this morning a body of uhlans near J ion-ville-le-pont,
and took eight prisoners and four
horses. The villages of St. Maur-les-Fosses and
Nogen-sur-Marne have been abandoned by their
Inhabitants.

NOTICE T(7mARIXERS.
Stfam Wmstlr on Skal Island A letter re
ceived by the Underwriters of New Yerk from their
ngent, dated Yarmouth, N. S., Sept. 10, says:
"I beg to Inform you that a steam-whistle has
been placed on :seal Island, at the entrance to tne
Bay of Fundy, and, as far as I am aware, no notice
of It has been given by tne Dominion Government.
In the case of the loss of the brig Alexander Wil
liam, the master Informed me that he heard the
whistle, a faint sound, when close ashore, but he
thought it that of a steamer, not being aware that a
whistle had been placed there. I deem it of Impor
tance that you should be aware of this, and a notice
in the papers, where shipmasters could see It, might
be of service. The whistle is said to be a very pow
erful one."
