Land where fetters are unknown !
Welcome is thy Toice again
In its loudest thunder-tone I
In the battle's stern array,
Whers the banded traitors stood,
Shouting foremost in the fray,
There thy children poured their blpp4.
No! in quest of wealth or power
Were thy noble heroes slain ;
Freedum in her struggling hour.
Called then. ;q te baule.plain !
Ye who wijld the power of Slate

In this hour, so big with fate.
Hear New Jlampsli ire's demand :
Freedom for the trembling slaves
Break the bondman's wretched thrall !
Where our starry banner waves.
Justice equal rights to all !
Spread the light of knowledge o'er
Every corner of our land !
Dwarf the human soul no more!"
That's Ner Hampshire's just demand.

IVunsyivaoia soldiers arrived here at noon

the former in brown hoods, "Jack cluth
cloaks aLd checked frocks, and the latter
in dark blue gold-!actd caps aud light
b'ue roundabimts and rantalcons. Each

loudly cheered on arriving at the Capital,
where they were taken charge of by the
citizens who eutertained them.
THE VISIT TO THE LEGISLATURE.
At 4 'c!ock P. M , thsy appeared be

House. lion. Thomas II. Durrows, State
Superintendent of SailuT's and Koldier's
Orphans, boinj introduced, spoke at length
explaining the system of educating aud
maintaining the orphans. He said the
children present only represented one
tiiird of the whole number now in charge
in the State. He said it had been noised
abroad that these children had been star
ved, kept dirty, and without clothing, and
he directed the atteution of the people to
the little folks preseut, and said :
If the report was true, not a sick boy
was loft behind ; all were healthy. He
thou called on the children fur songs, re
citations, aui other exercises. Colonel
Mcl'arlaud, teacher of the McAlisterville
School, called on his pupils for 'lll!y
Around the Flag Doys," which was sung
with great credit, especially to the girls.

Master David Leech, from Paradise,
deliveied an original address, which he
spoke with real eloquence. He thanked
the citizeusof Harrisburg for their kindly
rutertaiunient of his fellow orphans, which
they could appreciate. The boys of Par
adise sang ''Uncle Sam is rich enough to
send Us all to School," to the great amuse
ment of the audience.
Master Daniel Boas, of Bristol, Bucks

the Pennsylvania Reserves, spoke pathet

received.
The exercises closed by singing "The

many eyes unused to weeping.
SPEECH OF OoV-RNOR CURTIN".
The Governor being called upon said :
"I have been in the habit of addressing
the Legislature for several years past, but
only in obedieece to the directions of the
Constitution. I would add a word to
what we have heard. I would say much
if I thought it were neccs-ary. Iiut
there is more in the mute eloquence aud
sad silence of these cnildred: more than
I ean say. I pledged to the brave men
who were encamt.ct.' here an J all over the
Commonwealth, wheu they were about to
go into the public service, that if they
fell on the field ot battle, we would take
care of their orphan children. (Cheers.
A Voice "We will."
My words were applauded. Orator
and journalists pledged themselves to the
work. J ust before the battle I said it to
thousands, uud uiler the battle, whn
chapluiu and priest and good men poured
the words of comfort uud spiritual conso
latiou into the eirs of the dyiug, I said,
jour children f-hall be protected. (Chccis)
It may be I do not desire war. I am
opposed to war. I trust our country may
never be called upon agaiu to engage iu
war. We have shed blood enough ; but
if war ever should come again, here are
the boys to fiht our battles. They will
say, "My father died lor his country, the
Slate pledged ilself that his sous and
daughters should be maintained at public
expenses, that pledge waa redeemed; I
vvouli be an ingrate to my country and
my State if I failed to offer my life in
tli 3 Sams tirim with my brave dead
father." (Cheers."')
I kuow that a State so great, so noble,
as old Pennsylvania would not turn tlies
children out. I know that it will not
turn them out now. (Voices Never,
never.) It will not turn them out ; the

three little ragged children appealed to
me for altni as I stepped from my
doorway. I learned they were chilcren
of soldiers who had fallen in defense of
the couutry. What was my train of
thought then. I said to myself, ia it
. P0SsiljIe that the people of Pennsylvania
tliaukiug God for victory can do so whea
the children of the brave men who
brought us the lruits of hard fighting,
and gained us our victories,' are on the
sireets begging for bread. (Applause.)
This beniCeeuce, gentlemen, is the re
sult. Pennsylvania has something where
of to be proud; she has taken the lead in
this matter. Other grelt States have fo).
lowed her. Ohio has such a system.
Connecticut is about inaugurating it. It
was only to day we forwarded to her Gov
ernor, in obedieuce to her request, the
plan embraced in our laws. Other States
witl soon follow , out example. What a
tiling to be proud of. All over the Coni-

Afre it not for these soldiers, my
fried:, tbis capital would be iu ashes,
tho 'hole State would be sacked, burned
and dinjjd ; death, and fire, and desola-
tion.would have passed over this good
old itate, and the fair land would have
beensmitten with it. I am cot here to
pursnde you. Their children are not
here p affect public opiuion ; they arc
here nly that the; people may see and
judgalbr themselves. If you are satis
fied, tea I ask you to coutiuuc this be
ocfieat plan. But if you are not satis
fied, et these children go.
Vdceg "Never, never, never."
I will not say more ; yes, I may as
wei add something : you may as well
jt now. .If this Legislature ad
jouros without doing these little people
justice; if it neglects its duties, let me
say, gentlemen, I have the power to Call
you hack. (Immense cheering.) Before
I leave this, I pi ay God that the elect
ive franchise Jiay fall upou all ; that all
may determine to do justice to the poor
orphan children, and that we may thus
do ourselves aud our great Comn,oawtalth

Letters were also received from Gen

others expressing their hearty approval
of the cause, and regretting that they
could not be present.
THE TWO CANDIDATES.
The difference between the Republi
can and Democratic parties in Pennsyl
vania is nowhere better displayed than in
the treatment accorded to the Soldier by
the State Conventions of the two. The
Republican Convention nominates a gal
lant soldier who served throughout the
war ; the Demoaratic Convention nomi
nates a Copperhead-, without alloy, who
toted aa a member of the State Senate
against every measure intended lo benefit
the soldier. The Republican platform,
too, demands an equalization of bounties,
the meeting out of ample justice to the
brave defenders of the nation, and a lib
eral provision for the education and com-.
fort of the orphans of those who fell in
defence of their country ; while the Dent
ocratio platform indulges only in bun

The entire success attending the visit
of the McAlisterville, Paradise and Mt.
Joy Soldiers Orphans Schools to the State
Capital on the 16th and 17th inst., and
the great good I feel assured will result
from it, renders it my pleasing duty to
acknowledge my indebtedness to those
through whoso efforts this success, so far
as the McAlisterville school is concerned,
was achieved, silence to

1 take this method of tendering my
sincere thanks and most grateful regards
for their untiring exertions and praise
worthy zeal in preparv?,bAinteretiog

their visit to Harrisburg, and for the re
markable devotion aud christian fortitude
displayed ia the daily discharge of their
onerous but important duties, a! ay they
ever remain faithful to the great cause in
wl.'c 1 they are engaged.
I am also under many obligations to
Mr. Frankliu Cassel, for assistance ren

My special thanks aie due, and are
hereby tendered to the citizens of 3IcAl
isterviile aud vicinity for the "old time"
liberality they displayed in cheerfully fur
uishiiig teams aud hauling, free cf charge,

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
have given jipolh-r illustration of their

President of the Company, promptly tel

Certainly the thanks of all corccred are
due to this generous ancj enterprising cor

The manner in v?hich the citizens of
Harrisburg ezhibited their hospitality,
opening both doors and hearts to the ov

A SLATE WHIPPED TO DEATH IN KEN
TUJKY. The CLicago Trilane gives the follow
ing sample of the spirit wherein the "re
stored" Rebels are now evincing their
Uuiouism in loyal Kentucky :
"Reuben Harris was the slave of Isaac
Rucker, who lived in Ljon county, be
tween the Cumberland and Tennessee
rivers. About a year ago, Reuben di
rected the Union armies to where two
companies of the 25th Kentucky Rebel
regiment were hid in the wilderness.
Two of the sons of Isaao Rucker were
officers ia Company E of said regiment.
They were taken prisoners by our army.
Isaao, through fear, fled. The skves, by
advice of our soldiers, still abode on the
plantation and worked it. Ou the 17th
day of January, Bucker and bis two
suns, returned to the plantation. Upon
inquiry around, they found that Reuben
reported ou them, by which fieans they
tvtra UKeu. . ,
''Issaae Backer then took Reuben, big
former glace, stripped him, and tied Jjim
ap Dy'BTrwrTnorTpwe,"Petween two
trees just so that his toes conld touch the
ground, ne then, with his own hands,
whipped him, and continued to whip for
hours, frequently 6aying that he would
cut him in two.
"His wife and family were present,
moaning in agony at the spectacle. The
wretch turned and struck the wife ten
blows, and told her to go off and mind
her own business. One of the black
man's sons he made bring him (the Reb
el) whisky several times while he was ap
plying the cruel lash to his father. In
vain did the poor sufferer cry for mercy. .
Did yon report on ns ?" was asked. "I
never told you a lie, massa, and never
will. I did report on you." "Well, I
will whip yon to death." And he did
whip on till the whole body around was
cut up most horribly. From 11 A. 31.,
till suuset the martyrdom went off. This
was Thursday night. The poor sufferer
lingered in ageny till Sunday morning,
when death released him from earthly
sorrows. I should add, several white
men stood around, witnessing the flogging,
and encouraged it on.
"This slaveholding brute threatened all
the family with death. They fled to
Paducah by night crossed the Ohio, took
cars on the Illinois Central Railroad, and
came on to Chicago the widowed wife
and four son3. The railroad conductor
to his honor be it said showed them fa
vor, carried them free, and, moved with
pity, fed them and gave them, some cloth-

OUR CANDIDATE AND PLATFQRjI.
The nomination cf General Geary is
received everywhere throughout the State
with rare enthusiasm and cordiality. In
all our experience oi Pennsylvania poli
tics we have never known a nomination
that was hailed with such a general and
genuine outburst of delight. In all quar
ters of the Commonwealth it is accepted
as an assurance of success, says the Pitts
burg Gazelle, and the pirty is thus en
abled to enter the canvass at an early
day, well-organized, united and confident.
Outside of the State the Republican pi
pers seem as much gratified as our own
people" do, rerading the presentation of
so- stren a candidate as one of those
happy political hits which paities make
only when ihey have all their with about
them.
The platform, too, is approved and en
dorsed with the same ardor that greeted
it when it was read ia the Convention.
In formci years Pennsylvania has been
regarded as being rather behindhand in
the matter of platform?, her politicians
seeking rather to deal in glittering gen
eralities than in speciSs committals to a
definite policy. If any State, therefore,
could reasonably Lave been suspected of
a leaning to "Conservatism," it was Penn
sylvania. She haa, however, spoken out
plainly, definitely and decisively; and our
friends in other States as well as in Con
gress, feel rejoiced to know thai her voica
is unmistakably for the right, There has
been, consequfeatly, a very general stiff
ening of backbones, and the Republicans
of the country feel as men do who have
had a heavy load removed from their
shoulders.
General Geary thus enters upon bis
new campaign under the most encourag
ing auspices. The flag of the "White
Star" Corps is unfurled ; the ranks formed
in compact array ; and the inspiriting
bugle blast has sounded the call to move
forward. Under his lead its march wil
be as irresistible as was the host that
moved forward from Atlanta to the sea ;
and as that march ended in making bim
Governor of Savannah, this one will end
in making him Governor of Pennsylvania,
Berks Countt Unlucky. The coun
ty of Berks has presented eight candi
dates, ac different times, for Governor,
only two of whom ever succeeded. The
first Governor, Mifflin, was a native of
Berks. John Spayd was presented by
that county in 1803, and beaten. Joseph
Heister, of the same county, ran in 1317
and was defeated, but was successful in
1320. Jluhleuburg ran in IB;"), and
failed, and ran in 1844 again, but died
before the election. In 1841 the whigs
nominated John Banks, of Berkf, and he
too was beaten. Clymer makes the eighth
