Gband Exhibition ! Wtdnesday after noon of last week was the time fixed for the holding tif a Radical meeting in this place. Our Radical friends assembled opposite Fos ter's hotel, and organized by appointing John Williams, Esq., President, with the usual member of Vices, of which the party has plenty. The meeting, though not so large as the Democratic meeting of the night previous, was respectable in point of numbers. It was addressed by Harry White and S. Sin gleton. Esqs., in rather temperate language, and adjourned shortly before nightfall. It was followed by a spectacle, the like of which has never heretofore been witnessed in Ebent-burg. Shortly before dusk a spe cial train airived from Johnstown, bringing some four hundred passengers. Of these a large number were uuiformed with caps and green capes, and were called the "Tanner's Club," or MorreU's infantrv, from the fact that they were generally under 21 years of age. After dark these boys paraded the streets in tolerable order, carrying lighted lamps, looking quite picturesque, and attracting the attention of nearly all the children in town. This party swallowed up the meeting, for though it organized, everything wa3 "con fusion worse coufounded" until the Morrell party left The "Tanners." in knots of two or three, ran about the town, singing and hallooing. The speakers, a pair of fallen preachers, bellowed at the tops of their voices to an inattentive and noisy crowd, while they were constantly interrupted by vocal and instrumental music, hurrahing and swearing. A large number bad by this time become intoxicated, and to preserve the decency of tne town, and prevent further violence, our worthy Radical Burgess ordered the public houses to be closed, which, no doubt, has tened the depart ore of these disciples of the "Got! and Morrell-ity" party. As it was, their prestige was much impair ed. Some were unable to "fight it out" on their "iiue" of march, while others, like the foolish virgias, were without oil in their lamps. The next morning showed nothing but the platform, and two vessels partially filled with whiskey, which latter shows that they have left some of their spirit among their Ebensburg friends. This Radical demonstration is over, and wa submit to the Democrats and Republi cans who witnessed it, whether it or the Democratic meeting of the night previous did most to elevate and improve the mind, and fit the audience for that most important cf all duties, that of casting an intelligent vote ? We know they will, without distinc tion of party, agree with us that at the Democratic meeting the appeals were made to reason, while at the Radical meeting the appeals were only to the feelings and pas sions of the excited listeners. Stoles Horse and Thief Capttjbed. "Hai. R. Rvckman and Capt. A. Row, of Johnstown, reached our town, at an early hour on Tuesday morning last, in quest of a valuable bay mare which had been stolen from Mr. J. J. Fox, residing near Mount Pleasant, Westmoreland county, on Sunday night previous, and which had passed through Johnstown on Monday in possession of the thief. After reconnoitertog about t)n for a short time, Messrs. Ryckman and Row closed in upon the thief and mare at the Mountain House, where the gentleman had taken quarters for the bight, and in an hour or two the entire party were on the re turn trip to Westmoreland county. The thief, wbo ia nuita a vounsr man and evi denlly very green in the business, registered his name as Maxwell, but his true name is Known to be uavw. The mare is probably worth two huDdied dollars, but will cost the thief much more in penal servitude than that before he gets through with the "little unpleasantness."

Ms. Editor The political champagne is progressing and so is Grant whiskey, judgin' from our meetiu' on last Saturday nite. We sanctified the new town hall that nite for the fust time and there was a great deal of spirit manifested. The copperheads had a iremenjus mass wcetin' the same nite on the Public Square addressed by Mr. Boyer, a Congressman from Norristown, and that made us fairly bile over with rage As I am head-centre here, (the same that Mr. Maguire is at Washington City and Mr. McDonald at Ebensburg,) they was all a runnin' to uie to know what to do. So I ses, "Boys, git out your lights and let's have a hurra " One mulatto boy scd he was tew tired. Ses I, "your paid for it, so pitch in," and then they all pitched in. We got up a met: tin' and declared our principles and then put forth our plans. Our principles are these : we want every man to think as he darn'd pleases on all political questions, provided he thinks as we do. If he don't, he's a cussed copperhead, and we have no mercy ou them. I heard one of our women say when she seed a copperhead she could hardly keep her hands off of it, she got so excited. Our second principle is that an Injin is better than one of our own race, and a nigger is better than an Injin. Our third plank in the platform is tew pay the rich bondholder in gold and the poor soldier in greenbacks. Our fourth principle is to run tbe printin' machines at Washington City, and print greenbacks to spend in carrin' this election, and to cheat all we can every way possible. Them's our principles. Our plans is to have the General Conference to grant us privilege to hold a large number of camp meetin's all through the county. This we call "swingin' round the circle." Consequently we picked three hundred men and boys, which we call the floatin' popu lashun, to go round to these meetin's. When we take them to Richland we call them the Moil Richlandeis," "The bone and sinew of Yoder township," and so on. Now if we hold nine of these meetin's it will appear like twenty-Feveu hundred voters, all red or black Republicans. We know it don't make a single vote more, but we like noise and parade, "fuss and feathers." We won't take the "mulatto Boys" to Blacklick, though they are weak in the knees and can't stand fatig. But we will take the "young Diggers," who can live on roots, and, with m keg of Grant whiskey along, we can keep up the spirit, "away out in the wilderness." We have lols of mouey, and if we run out, all we have tew do is tew rite to the head center at Washington City and start the matthine. You may ask "where on earib did you fix up theso principles and plans?" Now. If you go along Clinton street you win see above the door at Suppe's Hall a pine box. with a muslin skin on. and these words printed onto it : "Head and Quarters of the (Jranl an-1 llellajax Uluo." l arc tne neau, the five Lieutenants are the tore quarters. The Bump a at Washington. e meet here every nite. v e was a goin to adopt constitushun. but I told them if the Gen eral Government could get along without a constitushun, I thought we could. So the 5th Lieutenant moved "that tee dispense with all constllushuns, laics and order," which was carried unanimously without a discentin' voice but two. We called them cussed copperheads for not thinkin' aa we did, and we run 'em out of the wigwam. It wis in this hall that we planned these reli gious revival meetin's up nurth, which we will carry out, if the copperheads don't use it tew hot for us up there. J.nese raeetiu's will be addressed by a white and a black man. e couldu t get an Icjin too go long. The plaguy Digger's are too sassy tew mix with the t!?.ck niggers. We hired school-mter from Wilmore, tew come down tw make a speech on Saturday nite, when we sanctified the new liall, and he was r rim fuil, but the cars btin' late, he explo ded near the Company's store, and the re mains can be seen lew tLis day. O, Galla- her! bin there was a scatterment of abo- lishuu ideas, black, red, white and blue. If the angels "desired to look into" politics, they would see many a loathsome sight of which poor human nalur ougnt tew De a- shamed too. but you know what political excitement will do. When the niggers was expelled from the Georgia Lcgislatur, the man teat opens our meeiias wnn prayer swore most desperately, till I got ashamed aud told him that he ought to mind what the bibel said that "out of the same mouth houldu't proceed blessin' and cursin'." He scd that was d d true, but it was a d d shame expul them uigqers. We got him coaxed up to close the meetin' with prayer. when we lulioutr .!. the reason we g"t nira tew pray is because he's the best man among us. Our me tins has demolalized us greatly .

Dear Freeman Tbe Democratic meeting which was held on the Public Square on Saturday evening last was one of the largest ever assembled in this place. John Flan agan, Esq., presided. The meeting was opened by Col. John P. Linton, in a few ap propriate remarks, at the conclusion of which he introduced Hon. B. M. Boyer, of Norristown, Pa., who made an eloquet and forcible speech. He was followed by Joseph Keener, Esq., of Lancaster, Pa., who ad dressed the meeting in German, and the applause that greeted him evinced that it was fully appreciated. At the close of Mr. Keener's speech, the meeting adjourned with three cheers for tbe speakers and three more for the whole Democratic ticket. The Radicals held a meeting on the same evening in the new Town Hall on Canal stieet. where they succeeded, often sending the "Tanners" club, preceded by the Johns town Silver Band, through the town, in stiricg up a few of the faithful. It was ad dressed by John M. Kennedy, Esq., of Phil adelphia, and James B. Beiford, Esq., of the State, of Indiana. The Democratic reading room, which I noticed last week as being in projection, has been opened over Mr. Jacob Holtzworth's saloon on Main street. The show window in the millinery store of Miss Mary Tarke, on Clinton street, caught fire last night about half past nine o'clock. Everything contained in the window, to the amount of about $100was destroyed. The fire wss doubtless communicated from the gas-light. Considerable rain has fallen in this vicinity during the past week. Yours. &c, Wisp. Wilmore, Sept. 12, 1868. Dear Freeman A Seymour and Blair Club was formed and fully organiz-jd here to-night by electing E. D. Evans President, David Skelly and Anthony Long Vice Pres idents, and William Flinn Secretary. The President stated the object of the meeting in a lucid and eloquent manner, after which about one hundred joined the Club, which has adopted as its motto "Seymour and Blair, the Union and the Constitution, and Victorv Forever." Wm. M'Enrue, Esq , was called on to ad dress the meeting amid the most terrific cheers. Mac. is one of our home-made ora tors, but we must say that he handled the subjects, involved in this campaign with ability and spoke in strong terms condem natory of the Radical policy. Upon the conclusion of Mr. M'Enrue's speech the President was asain invited to address the meeting. The moment he rose to speak it was easy to perceive that he was an accom plished gentleman, and before he had utter ed many sentences, his intelligent hearers were fully convinced that he was an accom- Dlished orator. He elucidated the finances of the country in the most glowing colors. After which the meeting adjourned with three cheers for Seymour aud Blair and the whole Democratic ticket. L. D.

It is with feelings of profound sorrow we are again called upon to notice the death of one who was well known not only to the citizens of this and the adjoining counties, but throughout Pennsylvania, and to pay a small tribute to his memory. Gen. Wm. R Smith died at Quincy. 111., on the 22d nit., "full of years and full of honors." He was born at the Trappe, Montgomery Co., Pa., on the 81st day of August, 1787, and conse quently was nearly eighty-one years of age. He was the grandson of William Smith, D. D-, the first Provost of the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, and by whom Huntingdon was lbi I out. His father. Wm. Moore Smith, an eminent lawyer of Phila delphia, had been appointed to settle some claims under Jay's celebrated treaty with England, and accordingly in 1803 he accom panied him to that country, where he re mained about a year. After his return he studied law in Philadelphia, and was there admitted to the bar. Here he also married, and in 1808 removed to Huntingdon, where by his talents he soou distinguished himself in his profession, and during his long resi dence there was frequently called to nil pla ces of trust and responsibility. He repre sented that county for many years in our State Legislature, both in the House of Rep resentatives and Senate, and was one of the most efficient advocates of our then projected system of State improvements of canals and railways. Ever devoted to literature, his leisure hours were occupied in furnishing contributions which are to be found scattered in many of the publications of the day. Following the bent of his inclination, be commenced in 1810 the publication of a liter ary magazine called the "Huntingdon AInse um," which was edited by himself aud his friend, the late Moses Canan. Esq. This was considered at that day quite an enter prise, as it was the first magazine published west of the Susquehanna river ; which , how ever, was only continued for about a year, when it was suspended, owing to a want of sufficient encouragement. He was a prominent member of the Ma sonic order, and if we mistake not, was the first Master of "Mount Moriah Lodge," es tablished in Huntingdon. In 1827 Gen. Smith removed with his family from Huntingdon to the adjoining county of Bedford, where he still continued to practice his profession. At the Presidential election in 1836 he wa3 chosen one of the Presidential electors for the State, and in the following year was appoint ed by President Van Bureu one of the Com missioners ,to negotiate a treaty with the Chippeway Indians on the upper Mississippi. Iu the tall of 1838 he removed with his family to Mineral Point, in the. then Territo ry of Wisconsin. Here his services were soou called iuto requisition as Adjutant General in organizing the Militia, and the duties of this office he continued to discharge for several years. Elected as a member of the first Convention to frame a Constrtution for a State government in 1846. he took a leading and active part in its debates, but this Constitution failed in being ratified by the people, owing to some features in it con sidered to be objectionable. Subsequently another Convention was called and a Consti tution framed, which received the approba tion of the people in 1848, in which most of the State officers were made elective by the people of the State. Under it Gen. Smith was elected to the office of Attornev General, the duties of which he discharged satisfac torily during his term of office. Whilst en gaged at the seat of government he projected the foundation of a State Historical Society, which :s now in full success and may be considered firmly established. Already sev eral thousand books, pamphlets and paint ings have been collected, and as President of the Wisconsin Historical Society General Smith was devoted to its interests until the day of his death. The Legislature of the State having also directed that a history of Wisconsin should be written ere the material now at hand should be lost, Gov. Farwell, in 1852, accordingly appointed Gen. Smith to execute the task, llow Iabouous.y he applied himself to it is evinced by the two volumes already published by the Legisla ture in 1854. As ace advanced upon him he gradually retired from the duties of his profession, and spent his time in his library, surrounded by .... . . t ' his boobs, or enjoying the social conveisation of his friends. His reading extended through every branch of literature, and being gifted with an extraordinarily retentive memory and fine conversational powers, he gave a charm to the social circle, and afforded in struction and pleasure to both young and old. His mental faculties remained clear ana un clouded to the last, and without disease he sank to rest, merely from old age. surrounded by a part of his family and fnends. lie leaves a large number of children and grand children in this State, Illinois and isconsin.
