Governor PENN YPACKER'S brother Isaac is a fulsome eulogist. The Governor him- self is generous in praise when honied words bring liberal rewards. That is to say, his absurd comparison of the late Sena. tor QUAY with real statesmen secured bis elevation to his present distinction. Bat he was hardly as extravagant in classifying QUAY with WensTER and CLAY as his brother is in estimating the qualities of the present Governor of the Commonwealth in an address which be delivered before the Susquebavna Historical Society at Montrose a few weeks ago. It is easily within the lines of conservatism to say that he went the limit. That he attributes to Rev. EDWARD EVERETT HALE the statement that Gover- nor PEXNYPACKER ‘‘is the most sagacious and reliable Governor of Pennsylvania since BENJAMIN FRANKLIN was its Presi- dent,” and makes an anonymous United States Senator allege that he is ‘‘the best Governor Pennsylvania bas had in filty years,’ may be overlooked. Of course Dr. HALE never made such an assertion and the Senator is either a myth or an inmate of ao insane asylum, but the Governor's brother IKE didn’t hesitate to quote them 0 the effect notwithstanding and then in characteristic PENN YPACKER style he pro- ceeded to prove the proposition by citing some trifling economies advocated by Sam, The truth of the matter is that PENNY. PACKER is the worst Goveinor this State bas ever bad.
