Gen. John W. Geary Renominated:
We place at our mast head the tick
et nominated by the Union Republi
dan State Convention which met.. in
Philadelphia last week—a synopsis of
the proceedings of which wo give in

atiy concentrated opposition to General
:o'eary*renomination, and in the ab
sence of any strong opposition to the
•GoVernor,ho was renominated on the
. first ballot by an almost unanimous
:04. 'Judge Williams was nominated
,by.a unanimous vote. That there was,
and may continue to be, men in the
Republican party opposed to General
Geary's re-election, it would be useless
to deny—but ho is now the party,nom
inee for re-election and there is but a
choice between him and whoever may
bo nOminateci by the Democratic par

In carrying the State next fall it will

'in the State.. Party men must not re
main ignorant of their duty.
ne,..The Statistical Record of the
Government Bureau ehowsthat in thir
teen years; ending with 1868, over
'two and a half millions of Europeans
emigrated to this country, the greater
number coming from the British Isles
—as ie still the case. Great as is
the German influx, it is surpassed by
that of the English.speaking popula
tion, which in this year, up to the pros
ant month, amounts to over 54,000
heads, while the German only reaches
447,000. With respect to those sot doirn
as coming from England—over 20,000
in this year—it is beyond a doubt that
great numbers of them are Irish, who
come away from the port of Liverpool.
The persistence of the Irish exodus is
a very remarkable thing, considering
thit it proceeds from a population not
much larger than that of New York
State. Those people don't seem to care
.much for GladstOtie's grand panacea.
fteirThe New York Tribune says
that a "pool. German in Albany who
.tried to get a place in tho Post Office,
but, failing of the appointment, has
gone raving distracted, and been car.
rind to an asylum. There .are mon
who - go mad 'while they are seeking of
fice';'otheri, when they fail to obtain
it; still .others, after they succeed in
getting it. 'Xis a mad world, this po
litical world, my masters ! If 'all the
sighs of disappointment, since General
Qrant came in, could be collected, the'y
would produce a' hurricane; if all the
'fears shed over failures could ho gath
ered together, they would float a fleet;
and if all the temptations whin!' assail
placemon could be concentrated, the
result would be something that would
have secured the Fall of Man without
the interposition of the Devil. How
happy is he born or taught, who has
rin office, and who does not want ono!"
•
',Mr. Borie resigned the Secretary
ship of the Navy on Friday last, and
Hon. G. M. Robeson, of Camden, Now
Tersey;was immediately appointed in
his place. Mr. Robeson is a lawyer,
and was Attorney General of the State
in 1.567, under Governor Ward. He is
an able and sincere supporter of the
Administration, and a public man not
known so much for seeking office as
for having office on ono or two impor
t Mat occasions seeking him.
The resignation of Mr. Rorie was
not unexpected, for ho never permit
ted himself to regard his position as
other than temporary. His private
business and fast failing health preclu
ded the idea of accepting the position
longer than until Grant could select a
suitable person to take his place.
ps.ln pot:mention with the appoint
ment of Mr. Robeson as Secretary of
the Navy, it is -stated as a curious
coincidence that the only position ever
held intheCabingt by a cition of New
Jersey has been that of Secretary of
Navy. In 1823, Samuel L. Southard
was appointed Secretary of the Navy
by President Monroe, and he coatin
tied in that position during the entire
administration of John quinoy *dam's;
in. 1834,-,Mahlon Dickerson was ap
pointed Secretary of the Navy by Pres
ident .Tacksok . and he coritinued'in'the
Cabinet of ?4r. Van Buren for, more
than a year. -Both were digtinguished
men, - and added to their national rep
utation by their administration of the
Navy Department.

Tho '''O t elegatea'to the'Union Repub

met atZoncert.Hall at balf-past ton
,o'clock on Wednesday morning, and
I.4,its called to ordei by Hon. Galusba
'A: Grow, Chairman of the State Con.
tral COmMittee. , •
•
The hall was divided near the Cen
tro with a railing. The delegates oc
cupied chairs within the railing, and
spectators were seated in-the rear of it.-
Mr.,Groiv, in calling the delegates
to order, said :
Gentlemen of the Convention :—Be
fore.it is devolved upon• me the duty
incident to the position assigned me,
allow me one word of congratulation
on the , auspices under which we meet.
One year ago the people of this
country were entering one of the most
vital political contests of their history.
It was to be the last, the eloskng scene
of. the bloody drama of 'eight years, in
which great principles were to be set
tled foreVerin the institutions of our
country. In, that struggle the Repub
licans of Pennsylvania led. the forlorn
hope and.2,hore the banner of , victory
fn.October. ,Around that banner•clus
ter the memories of all', that we hold
i most dear and "'sacred iv .that decade
of our' history. That banner repye
stints to-day the nnity.of the Repub
lic, the perpetuity ef,its institutions,
nn .enlarged, noble patriotism 'and 'a
humanity as broad as the race. -
The,'Repeblican party is young in
years, hilt old in its ideas and mighty
in its .grand' achievements.. On the
30th May, 1854, Congress, under the
control of the Democratic party, re
pealed the Missouri Compromise, and
enacted what was known as the Kan
sas and,Nebraska bill, The devotees Ofhumazihcindage tlionglit.by this act
to segue its perpetuity, and ,went forth
with fire. and sword to plant it in all
the Tet;ritories of the Union. Fifteen
years have passed Away,, and the sun,
in its course across the continent from
,ocean to ocean, no longer rises on the
master or sots on the slave. [Applause.
These mighty achievements allow
every man beneath the flag of our
country to stand up in the dignity of
manhocid 'and proclaim to .the world,
"I, toO,' am a man !" These mighty
achieVements aro by the organization
yOu represent. The darkness of hu
man bondage, struggling against the
enlightenment of the ago, sent our
sons and brothers to the battle-field to
uphold the institutions of our fiitbers,
and three hundred thousand of them
sleep in the' soldiers' grains. This is
the sacrifice we have made, while sor
,
row sits by every fireside Mourning
the unreturued braves. This, is the
'sacrifice the generation of to-dayhas
made to secure the perpetuity of our
institutions and the-blessings of liber
ty by our fathers. No
thanks to 'the organization that you
oppose to-day we have a country to
love and a Union to revere. had • the
destinies of the country been entrusted
to them, the of flag our fathers,to•day
would have been dragged in the:dust,
torn and tattered. •
Gentlemen of the Convention, you
meet now to perform another import.
ant duty, not only to this party you
represent, but to•the great interests' of
the country.. ; You are to, select,•to ,day
the standard:•beaier for the contest that
closes in OctOber next; and this Key
steno State is to engage niiw 'tta then
in that contest in which heard the
din and clash of ideas. • For, reinem
ber, although' the war' or arms is no
longer heard, yet the clash of ideas
goes on. You battle on the same line;
but though your organization compri
ses but a few years, and was called in
to existence to uphold the broad prin
ciples of liberty, your great mission to
day , is to, 'confirm and develop the
great interests of the country. And
during this, din of battle yOu have re
alized the idea. of CeluMbus,.and •our
countrymen go , westward s to 'day,; to
Meet the Indies. All Abbe° associa
tions cluster around this party, Who
are now yet in the foreground ofthe
battle; and your standard-bearer, who
ever-he maybe, is to-lead the hosts of
freelnen—the - men who have met the
lieSts of slaVory'to Savo the country—
and who, in the' political struggle of
one year ago;'Saved the party which
you represent.
' The roll of delegates was then called
over,
and Henry Souther, Esq , of Elk
county, was chosen toniporary chair
man. On assuining the position he
said :
Gentlemen of the Convention:—l
return you my sincere and' heartfelt
thanki in being called upon' to preside
over your preliminary organization.
I may say that I have no speech to
Make upon this occasion. I congrat
ulate myself and I 'congratulate the
members of this Convention upOn'the
great unanimity which appears at this
opening to pervade our counsel. [Ap
plause.; I hope, fellow-delegatei, that
it may continue to the end; that we
may place in nomination, on this oc
casion, a gentleman who will ' carry
the banner of the Republican
~party
next October to triumphant success.'
It is a proud record' for • any, Man,
however humble, to belong to' the Re
publican party. It is a party which
goes down toAtistory as no'othet par ,
ty ever will go down to - history 'in
these United States. (Applause) It
is the Tarty which
,carried on 'and
fought 'to completion and to success
One of the bloOdiest wars that history
has over recorded: And it is for us,
now, gentiernen,in the Keystone State,
as it has been in times past, so to con
duct ourselves that our banner shall
not be lowered in the dust; but that
whatever wo may do, wo may have
the consciousness hereafter of know
ing, when we look back upon our acts
while acting with the great Republi:
Oarrparty, that we have strived to do
our best.

that is in order.

,General Geary, having received a

Governor. A motion to make the no.
mination unanimous was opposed by
Mr. Lauman. A vote was then taken
with but 6hO dissenting voice—Mr.
Littman.. SubseqUently the nomina
tion was made unanimous amid the
wildest entliusia6m.
Judge' Henry W. Williams, of Alle
gheny county, was named for Judge
of Supreme Court. ,
The nominal Ons
,were closed.
Judge Williams was then declared
the nominee of thh; Convention for
Judge of the Supreme Court by accla
mation. Another scone of cheering
followed. A committee was then ap
pointed to apprise him of the action of
the Convention. A committee of five
was also appointed by the chair to
wait. on Governor Geary at Ile Conti
nental, and inform him of his nomina
tion. In a few minutes the Governor
- tipPeited'in the hall, escorted by the
committee. lb was received with
great 'cheering.
On ascendir.g.the platform he made
the followieg.vddress':
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the
Convention : Your committee has in
fOrmed-melthat•you have nominated
me as a'callilid,aMk for Gov rnor of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and
Conferred upon me the distinguished
honor of being the standard-bearer of
the Republican party for the approach
ing politicakeen test.
For this manifestation of continued
confidence and appreciation , I feel that
linY language I am competent to com
mand is entirely too poor to express
in appropriate',terms the emotions of
my.heart, and no other resource is
left iriothatifratikly to return to you,
and through you to my fellow-citizens
whom Tou,,-represent, my sincere
thanks and iratitude.
. The nomination of Hon. Henry W.
Williams, for Judge of . the Supreme
Court, is exceedingly gratifying to me.
His pure and unsullied character as a
man, connected with a high order of
talent,. cultivated intellect, eminent
legal attainments,„ and energetic in-. 1
dustry, proclaim him the right man
for that position, and induced me to
place him where he now is.
The remarkable Unanimity that has
characterized your,action , in reference
to Judge - Williams and myself inspires
me with high hopes and brilliant an
ticipations. It augurs with certainty
a favorable ;and triurnphant.ratifica-
Lion by the people, and gives, "goodly
promise of a glorious day in action."
When I contemplate the labor, anxie
ty of mind,' and responsibility that
must necessarily be devolved upon me
during the canvass for au election of
such magnitude, a consciousness of the
difficulties surrounding the task causes
me almost instinctively to shrink from
the undertaking. But I confidently
look to a Higher Power and to my
fellow citizens for that aid, support,
and encouragement which may enable
me to steer the' Republican ship with
safety thieugh the breakers of the com
ing conflict. Satisfied tluit my trust is
not miiiplaced; I unhesitatingly accept
the distinguished honor that has been
conferred upon,ine' by this honorable
Convention. •''
' Three Year's ago a similar honor was
conferred'ubMi me, at a period when
our was just omergin ,, from a
most terrible war, and with the' dust of
battle scarcely brushed from my own
garments' and politically' inexperien
ced as I was, I ardently entered upon
the contest which resulted so glorious
ly for the Republican cause it? '1866.
I did not accept the nomination' then
in the belief that in My own person I
posses:ed any intrinsic merit, or had
rendered any services to my country
which entitled' me ' individually to .re
ceive it ; but I accepted it as a compli
ment to my comrades in arms, and as
a matter duo to the three hundred and
sixty-three - thousand soldiers of Penn
sylvania, who had rendered noble ser
vices in the field, the aggregate value
of which can never be estimated, and
to whotni , ,W.e:are indebted for a home
and a country. On their behalf I then
warmly, thanked' the Cenvention, and
I'liere desire to reiterate those thanks
again to you. And now, after having
served the greater portion of the term
for Which I Wa r s eleeted,•and after eve

In bearing the banter you have this
day confided to me, I pledge you that
it shall be carried at the head of the Re
publican eolith - in—its movements shall al.
ways be - ,directed to the sound of theheau- 4 ,
lest firing f. and when the conflict is
