Priu.susinua, October 21, 1867.—Explatiations, of failures are always less agreeable than con={ gratulalions upon success. At the same time r• the former may be as prtilitable as the latter, the uses of adversity are Manifold. Regarding; the recent defeat of the Republican party as both' a political misfortune and a national - calamity, a' short review of the facia and a few reflections thereon are deemed not out of place. The most diligent and persistent efforts to arouse our „fr9l4 ePatl o l7 , , .to iMpress upon theta , the' 1 -rmikktiktiete , lo tit() conMst; the danger of defeat,' and the necessity for action to avert it, failed to produce the usual and desired results. The im mediate cause of our failure is apparent from the .official returns, compared with those of former years: In 1865 the Republican vote was " the Democratic Tote was Total Mal. for litkrtzenft, Auditorneral In 1866 the Riginhllean ;vote 'YRS " the D'emoeistle vote wag.— Totab 597,370: Majority for Governor Geary 17,168 In 1867 ,the Republican vote was 266,824, " the Democratic vote was 267746' Total 534,570' Majority for Sharswood . 922 It thus appears that the total vote cast in 1866 exceeded that of 1865,143,330; and that the total votatelfierfalla shOrt ofithe vote of 1866, 62,800. 4:30-4174•ItrzlinattOn of the 40018 it -further "esti the'dededii'tllll3 ydaris 40,710 on'the • Matt Voteiaof:llB66,ll,ndn'decrease•of!Only, 22,1.1 on the Democratic_ vote of 1866 r-or, in other wottla, there were over 18,1300 tritire'Repub-I Hams who did not go to the polls at the last oleo.' :Alen thiatherd *ere binfeelate.

GeneralaPittbY, canoed by an apparent failure to appreciate' the importance of the,contest, is the 'printery eaupe of our defeat. Besides this,vve bad local cilfficultei and side issues ' to contend against, millicieritet themselves to de ' stro,yns. Walost votes t in many places by reason of the legislation of last session,and on the appre hension otnegro suffrage; and in Philadelphia on thoquestiona of city taxation, and what is known as the Sunded car questiOn,and by sundry frauds. And worse than all these, our friends there nomi nated a ticket for city officers not acceptable to our people, mainly because it had no soldiers upon it. The soldiers themselves, to their credit be it recorded, stood up manfully to their prin ciples, and voted with us as heretofore. But large numbers of their friends would not support the ticket; and in even. Republican precinct in the city there were from fifteen to one hundred and fifty of our friends who refused to vote. Thus we lost Philadelphia, and consequently the • State. The defeat of act worthy a candidate. as Henry WilliamsW. is .• litiniillatidu to' which our friends who stayed at home should not have sub jected us. They have been unfaithful to the great principles for which we have struggled and suffered toether during the last six years, and they have imposed upon us additional labors and trials for the future. which a proper discharge of duty now would have averted. But, let us "never despair of the republic." Reconstruction, on thehasls of universal liberty and inipartial-justice. Must yet be accomplished; andthere eau be no doubt the Union Republican party is as strong to-day on all gnat national issues, and as determined to accomplish its mis sion, as at any time during the last six years. Our duty is plain. andis well stated in a recent private letter from our standard-bearer in the late contest., as follows: "Instead of being dis- - piri Led, we should gird up our loins and burnish our armor for next years Presidential contest, and mass au ttil use of this defeat as to ,secure a -decisive and overwhelming victory." Many thanks to those who so nobly did their duty in the late canvass; and to those who did not, the earnest hope is indulged that they will make ample amends hereafter.

The Radicals and Conservatives were actively employed all day in bringing voters to the polls. After the announcement of the iesult 'of -the- first day, the Conservati,ves were much encouraged, and are still confident that the victory is theirs. Many of the negroes had forgotten the names even when they were registered, and many more have left the city since the registration, The polls Closed to-night, with a white majority' of 521. It is estimated that there are the same number of Radical whites and. Conservative blacks In the city. the vote upon the question of calling a, Con vention cannot yet tie ascertained, but five-tenths of the whites voted against it. At the solicitation of--the,Radicals, Gen. Schofield has ordered the polls to be opened in three wards again to-tikox; row, and much dissatisfaction exists among the Conservatives in consequence. The military were on duty all day, but their services were not called for by the police. The returns from the counties indicate that the blacks have voted en mane for the Radicals, and in favor of a Convention. The line between the blacks and whites is distinctly drawn.

Shotild be darkened by the sombre pall of death. Of the three hundred thousand heroic rdead; 'Who far troth 'happy homes arid loving Wends, gave up their lives for the holy cause of .! ;he Union, Dauphin county furnished a goodly quota, and to their memory we are here to-day, to,commence a monumental pile, which shall typify our gratitude,' and perpetuate the• glori ous recollection of their grand sacrifice. The most mournful task imposed upon, a nation is IWO' building monuments to commemorate the dead and to perpetuate the names of those who perished while struggling for the general, welfare. Never was this task more imperative than in the case of the dead who died that the American Union and Government might live. The war for the Union was just in all its !..,tages, and during Its entire progress; it was pro voked by a rebellion uusustained by rea son, and without honor in any of its character istics; it was forced upon those loyal to the Government by .traitors who had reapeq. the largest benefit froin the Union. and who were in power when the wrongs they falsely alleged as having been inflicted on them were com plained ot. Hence I boldly assert there can be uo mistaking the honor and clear justification of the men who took part In that war for the defence of the National Government, for the preservation of the national Union, and the enforcement of the National authority,,, Of all heroes who fell in any armed struggle, those who perished in the• contest with traitors fight ing to overthrow the wisest and most beneficent system of free government• ever established in this world; are the most deserving of monuments and historic mention. Every hill top in the loyal North should be crowned with. shafts to perpetu ate the memory of the loyal dead. Every valley should be adorned with thesememorials, as a na tion's gratitude to its ilinstrious slain. Every city should build such altars, where the names of • those who perished in freedom's cause may be forever blessed. Those who died iu the cause of their country need no eulogies , from me to freshen your recollectiOna of their gallantry. The character of our heroes, and the virtues which stimulated their valor, are written on every pa alone heart. The history of American her o ism is that of ,the age . in which we live, yet it alrbrds us all, pleasure to speak of the distinguished ser*ea- and ex alted qualities of those we admirell while living, and whose memories will forever remain a rich legacy to the country. The Governor said that we find among men of every, age, nation, and race, evidence of affectionate regard and respect for the memory of their loved anti distinguhshed dead. and now in this age-of heroism shall the lamented. heroes of Dauphin, who have bceu sacrificed in the bloody conflicts of au hundred battles on the Peninsula, in Northern :Virginia, at Antietam Gettysburg, the Wilderness, in the hundred days' fight at Atlanta, above the clouds at Lookout Mountain, before Richmond, front Bull Rau to Appomattox Court House, and from Chatta nooga to Raleigh, lie in their unknown graves and their memory be forgotten? No! This should never be, and, thanks to the noble men and -wo men of Dauphin, it will not be. While we thus engage in building monuments to the memory of the gallant dead, let us not forget that we also have other work to perform—that to build which greatly concerns the living. Men were not the only wounded and slain in the late thrilling con test for law, justice, and order. The Government was severely wounded; and almost pulled to pieces; hence it is that, while we build monu ments to the dead, we must also take an ac tive part in rebuilding that portion of the Government which has been marred by treason, and which so vitally con cerns the living. The contest for principles of freedom and for the safety of free government lit its present form is not entirely ended. The people have yet to satisfy themselves that they are self-governed, and this satisfaction will only be realized when the popular will, as put into legal 5.140 by-the Representatives of the people, is honestly respected and enforced. It is one thing to suffer and die for the Governthent, and another and fur different thing to pay tribute to the memory of those who perished in its defence. It has been my lot to mingle among strife, where, doubtless, many Of the men fell whose 454,140 22,660 307,274 290,096 valor this contemplated monument is to com memorate. I am here a survivor of treason's carnage, joining with you in work that must tell to g enerations our gratitude to our heroes.• And .1, too, have felt what it is to suffer in the cause of my country. No father among you knows b otter than I what pangs it cost to give up,'ln t naine,of our country, a beloved son, who fe 1 fighting beneath the Stars and 4stripcis. I have no regrets to express that his ashes now min ;le in the soli of a redeemed laud. and that the. living can look upon a Union and a Government saved, by sacrifices of brave hearted men. This monument, while It will proclaim the noble dead, will not-only indelibly inscribe their memories upon its own enduring face, but upon the hearts and memories of our countrymen—the orphan, widow. brother, sis ter, mother and Patriot will look upon it with pride and affection, and the living soldiers heart will leap for joy as he contemplates this evidence of gratitude to his departed comrades. It will proclaim enduring honor to the noble dead who gave up their lives in the fearful struggle for our nationality, and everlasting infamy to those who would pluck a single laurel from their brow. May this contemplated monument when finished teach lessons of patriotic duty to our country; then will it have accomplished the chief end for which such memorials should be erected. At the close of the Governor's address he for mally Iliac ground, asking the blessing of God on the task which had been imposed upon him. —„,,,,.., Affairs in Italy. Ft.o'itErgcn, Oct. 23, A.
