Miniature Portrait of Hon. Abraham
Lincoln.
Justice Bran, of the Supreme Court of our
State, performed a graceful and characteristic
act in sending to Springfield, Illinois, our fel
low-citizen, Mr. J. REMIT flaosvx, celebrated
for his miniatures, for the purpose of taking
an accurate likeness of Mr. LINCOLN, the Re
publican candidate for President. Mr. Enowsr
remained with Mr. LINCOLN about two weeks,
and had an opportunity not only to know the
man, but to make such a picture as will do
credit alike to the artist and the subject. On
Wednesday last Mr. ReaD submitted this fine
production to a number of gentlemen connect
ed with the newspaper press, and by one and
all it was pronounced a master-piece. It is
• painted on ivory, and is said, by those who
know Mr. Liseow, to be lifelike. Certain it
is, the face is not the hideous caricature
hawked about our streets, and hung in our
print shops. It is that of an amiable yet
strong-wilted man, and beams with intelli
gence and firmness. Mr. BROWN has done his
best, and may be assured that it will add still
more to his high reputation. A beautiful
copy of, this miniature has been made by Mr:
&RIM Saarane, 808 of the well known en
graver of this city. from the steel plate of
which impressions for sale and distribution
will shortly be taken. The original miniature
remains in the possession of Mr. Ram), to

A. Screw Loose with Garibaldi.
The King of Naples, it appears by late
news received per the steamer Connaught, did
not Sy to Spain, as was reported, but went to
Capua, a strongly fortified town, midway be

marched with troops to give him battle. The
rout of LAMUSIOIERE and the Papal troops by
the Sardinians Is confirmed, and LA740111-

The Death et-Rembrandt Peale.
There is something specially mournful and
saddening in the rapidity with which not
only those who were active men of the period
of our Revolution, but also those who, being
born about • the time_ our liberties were ,
achieved, frequently saw, during their boyish
days, the great founders of our mighty Re
public, are being called to their eternal
homes. One by one they are dropping into
honored graves, and as they are torn from the
.busy 'Scenes of life, link after link between
the past and the present—between the infancy
and the manhood of our c - . , antry—appears to
be severed, and we are called upon to mourn
the departed, not only on account of their
private worth or individual excellence, but
because in losing them we also part, to
some extent, with historical associations
which are dear to the heart of every true
citisen. We are reminded, too, how ra
pidly the ark ‘of the Republic is drilling
away from all the wise and potent personal
influences which gave it shape and form, and
that none of the first, and few of the second,
generation of American statesmen are left to
advise or direct its movements through the
boisterous ocean of political excitement upon
which it is now floating.
Although Itsataamityr Plane was not at all
noted as a politician, yet by his brilliantly
successful portrait of Wssarturrow, and the
Intense interest he displayed in all that per
fettled to the great Father of his Country, he
has secured to himself what will probably
prove immortal fame. Singujarly enough, hit
was born on one of the birth-days of Went
tams, the 22d of February, 1778, and he
relates that when he was a schoolboy ho was
impelled from this childish motive to seek
every possible opportunity of seeing the great
man who was then so universally honored In
Philadelphia. He was signally fortunate, too,
in obtaining opportunities to gratify this
youthful predilection, for his lather, CHARLES
WILSON PEALE, the founder of the Philadel
phis Museum, was a distinguished artist, and
painted a portrait of WASHINGTON in 1780.
ftguattazum, being at that time a lad
eight years of ago, stationed himself be
bind his father's chair, and eagerly watch
ed the illustrious subject during the sit
tinge. Afterwards he was frequently the
bearer of messages from • his father, and
met WASHINGTON every Sunday as he went
to church. In September, 1795, when Mr.
PEALS, although then but nineteen years of
age, had acquired considerable proficiency as
an artist, his darling object of ambition was
gratified by obtaining three sittings, of three
hours each, from the man be had so long ido
lized, and of this picture he executed ten
copies. In 1880, or thirty-five years after
wards, he says , t the imago of Weseixoros
once more rose to engross his mind." All
the portraits, busts, medallions, and prints lie
could find, he collected together, and against
the earnest remonstrances of his wife and his
father, he became thoroughly absorbed In an
attempt to execute a portrait of superior ex
cellence. His arduous efforts were crowned
with complete success. His father one day
entered his studio, and clapping him on the
shoulder, exclaimed, "You have it nowt this
is. indeed, Washington I" Its fidelity was
cheerfully endorsed by a number of the die
tingnished friends of WASHINGTON, who were
then dying, including ChM Justice Maximum,
Judges WASHINGTON, Tzumatsfr, and PETERS,
and Bishop WHITE. After being exhibited in
Campo, at variens places, including the Royal
Academy at Florence, it was purchased by a
special committee of the United States Senate
for two thousand dollars.
Another celebrated painting of the deceased
was hts Court of Death. He hes given an in
teresting description of the origin of this pie
tare. It was suggested by Bishop PORTEIIO
Poem on Death, and his account of it con
cludes with a sentence particularly impressive
and appropriate in view of his own recent de
parture for the spirit world. Mr. PEALE says :
"Tice philosophic Christian must agree with
the picture that death has no terror in the eyes of
trirtuous old age, and of innocence, faith, and
hope."
Mr. PEALE, until a recent period, enjoyed
excellent health, and during the last year exe
cuted for JosEra Hammon, Ta., of this city,
the portrait of his venerable brother artist,
I'HOMA.B Suers, which was reeent , y on exhibi
tion at the Academy of Fine Arts in this
city.
He possessed highly-cultivated literary tastes,
and in 1889 published a small volume called
the "Portfolio of au Artist," which contains
several well-written poems from his pen.
His lecture on the poitralts of VirASIIINOTON,
delivered in this and Mkt. eities,during last
winter, attracted large and .vpreolativo au•
diences.
He was twico married, and le.tves a widow
and numerous descendants.
On Tuesday evening last he s'iowed some
symptoms of indisposition, but it was only on
Wednesday night that ho was evisidered dan
gerously ill, and at about halt past six o'clock
yesterday ramming he died. His disease was
dropsy of the heart. •

Cornspondeaoe of The ?rem]
WAsalitaTON, October 4, IMO
I hasten to do full justice to Governor Jackson,
of Missouri, who, after having been claimed as a
deserter from the Douglas oolumn, comes but repu
diating and contradicting the accusation, and re•
cognising the Senator from Illinois as the regular
Demooratio candidate. So, then, Governor J.
received the Douglas votes of Missouri, and honors-
My entertains the same opinion after his election
that he expressed before. There might have been
come show of plausibility in Governor Jackson's
attempting to bring the Breckiorldge and Douglas
men together in Missouri—which is a Southern
State—particularly as he claimed to prefer the
Breokinridge to the Douglas platform, but no De
mooratio candidate for Governor in a free State
can be justified in any such experiment.
I can account for the efforts making in Pennsyl
vania, New York, and elsewhere, to bring the
friends of 801 l and Douglas together because they
at least entertain some doctrines in common on
the slavery question, but that any man who looks
to the suffrages of the people of Pennsylvania or
elsewhere, should think he can make himself
strong by refusing to take sides against the candi
date of the Disunionists, Mr. Breekinridge, passes
my comprehension.
As a true historian of entrant events, I cannot
refrain calling your attention to the way men ead
parties have changed within the last few years on
this very fusion question. In 1856, the Democrats
attacked the friends of Fremont because of their
efflte to induce the Americans to fuse with them,
and now, most of those who were so violent in
favor of fusion aro apprehensive that the Demo
mats may fuse with those they have heretofore
opposed. The combination that I oonoeive to be
objectionable, because of its want of integrity and
consistency, is for a Democrat supporting Stephen
A Douglas to put himself in connection with
those who support John C. Breekinridge.
this contest Northern men should sea their
way . clear. They ought, as a foundation fact,
to resolve to have nothing whatever to do
with Disunionists. Bettor a thousand times that
the Republicans should triumph than that the
Diennionists should be euesessfal. The man who
is ahoeen President in November will have a most
difficult part to perform, unless, after his election,
be accepts and acts upon the broad ground of com
plete non-intervention with slavery in the Terri
tories of the United States. I oars not whether
this man is Douglas, Lincoln, Bell, or Brookin
ridge, he will be foroed to act upon this idea,
or else to run the risk of breaking up the Govern
ment. He who entertains a different opinion now
will come to this hereafter. It is true snob a man
chosen to the Presidency would bo compelled to
go batik of his old opinions, and to separate him
self from the advooates of extreme sectional ideas.
But he will do it. Mark the prediction.
The two nephews of the President, James Bu
chanan, Jr., (the amiable son of the Rev. Edward
Y. Buchanan, a distinguished pastor in the Epis
copal church in your city, the only brother of the
President,) and James Buchanan Henry, the son
of the deceased sister of the Chief Magistrate,
having both retired from the past of private eeore•
levy near their "uncle, the king," Mr. Adam 3.
Giosebrennor, of York, Pa., for a number of years
sergeant-at-arms of the lime of Representatives,
will, as soon as the royal party leave the Presiden
tial mansion, assume the duties of that confiden
tial position. Mr Glossbranner will make a first
rate private secretary. He writes a beautiful
hand, and although considerably indisposed to
support Mr. Buchanan in the days of his trial, for
reasons well known in Tort county, be is, on that
account, by no means inoapaoltated to occupy a
place near the American Majesty. I understand
that Mr. Glossbrenner has shown an anxiety to bet
his money against Curtin's elootion as Governor of
Pennsylvania, and that this morning some trepida
tion was occasioned in Administration circles by a
despatch from Hon. A. K. PdoOlure, chairman of
the Pennsylvania Republican State Committee, of
fering to bet Mr. Glosebronner to the tune of ten
'thousand dollars,

House of Representatives, and every banger-on of

allegation, the assertion that you are what is po
litely called a "Black Republican," They eau
not deny that you were elected without asking a
vote from a solitary man, Republican or other
wise ; that, during all the contest for Speaker, you
upheld the flag of non-intervention, and refused
to cut loose from Judge Douglas, although his
own delegation in the Rouse, with the ex
ception of Mr. Morris, were known to be
opposed to you; and that, therefore, when you
come back to your old position, you did so not only
without being under obligations to the Repub
licans, s ci t(tbrough yogi' friends) baying at-lasted
them in the organisation of the House. Because
you will not agree to dishonor yourself, however,
by approving the corn:101one of the Administra
tion ; because you resisted the Leoompton fraud
and the English bill ; because you opposed those
Representatives in Congress who, after accepting
Buohanan's oonetruotion of the Kansas-Ne
braska bill, followed him in his betrayal of it; and
because, finally, you will not strike bands with the
men who declare that Mr Breokinridge ie the re
gular Democratic candidate for President—when
he is the nominee of a mere fragment, and stands
upon a Secession platform, to boot—no mercy is to
be shown to you. Happily, you do not ask or need
this mercy.
But the President of the United States is a phi
losopher and a logician. In selecting Mr. illosa

quiet, satirical way, given to those who are assail

was elected on more than one 000aslon sergeant
at-arms of the House of Representatives by the
notorious enemies of the Demooratio party. He
was the politest candidate to the Republicans I
have ever seen—the most eager supplicant for their
votes, and the readiest to oblige them—and even
at the commencement of the present Congress, " he
ran a muck " for most of the offices in the gift of

ORAND TOttoll-LIGRT•PROOMBION
Germantown was the scene yesterday of another
of those tremendous displays devised by the
People's party, and perfected with the usual
energy of its leaders in Pennsylvania. Although
far inferior, numerloally, to the demonstrations of
Ohadd's Ford and Lancaster, it made up in en
thusiasm and general effect, being pronounced the
finest political display ever held in that ancient
borough.
The rain fall continuously during the afternoon
and the atmosphere was sultry and elose. Notwith
standing these unfavorable characteristics, the
field in which the speaking came off was orovvded
with people. Speeches were delivered almulta•
neonsly at four stands, and, in honor of the Revo
lntionary leaders at Germantown, each stand was
dignified with the name of a general.
Tho following were the names of the etande, and
of the presiding officers at each :
.Washington ( main)stand — Archibald Mclntyre,
president.
Lafayette stand—Robert T. Potts, president.
Wayne stand—Dr. 0. M. Jackson, president.
Pulaski kart-I—William Botch Whiter, prest
dent.
The some of the meeting was a large meadow on
Oholten avenue, near the plank road belonging to
Paschal Coulter, Esq. Thlther, at three o'clock,
a dense mass of vehicles and people moved. The
fence enolosing the lot was completely cemented
by long lines of horses and wagons. Numerous
squatter publicans made themselves at home in
various quarters c: the field, and juveniles peddled
'cigars and ginger nuts under the noses of the great
Republican orators. In the rain the masses stood
determinedly, some of them thoroughly drenched.
Good homer prevailed, and. unfortunates without
umbrellas were subjected to a running fire of jokes
and smiles. It seemed that the falling rain aug
mented rather than pooled the ardor of the audi
tors. At unusually heavy ishowers they seemed
excessively funny, and a complete soaking was
positively superb.
After a time all kind of curious political con
trivances. which a Breakiarldge man denominated
"infernal machines." came upon the ground. A
blacksmith shop moved around on wheels. Smiths,
In all varieties of swarthy Noe and leather apron,
pounded at mimic horse-shoes. A oarpet faotory
was set upon a hay wagon, and a spade mill was a
trump feature. An army of oarpet-weavers bore
banners of tapestry, rag, and Brussels Tranepa
renoteo and banners, with radical mottoes, wheeled
obliquely and acutely. One of these was wrapped
upon a wagon frame, and bore, in immense let
tere, the dying words of Broderiok. Unole Abe
was served up in all manner of ways. He looked
grimly from yellow muslin, and stood erect upon
tissue paper. He reminded the people that the
Conetitution and the Union were inseparable, and
said many things in illuminated lettering eaten.
lated to excite the ardent Lincolnite lute frenalee
of delight. Mr Lincoln was succeed by Mr. Cur
tin, who was variously denominated " Oar Andy,"
Curtin, Oar Boy," and "Andy of the West."
Mr. Curtin was admirably sustained by Mesa's.
Clay, Jefferson, Hamlin, and Seward. All these
gentlemen figured extensively on bunting Some
immense flags were carried by bevies of voters,
and the Wide-Awakes dotted the field in every
direction. They (lame on horseback end on foot.
Before evening, at least three thousand were upon
the ground. • '
Most of the speakers held forth twice; some of
them three times.
We have not the space to record the speeches of
most of the gentlemen. Excellent addressee were
made by Mr. Frank Blair, W. P. Rwlng, of Mary
land, Robert L. Martin, Alexander McClure,
Frank Taylor, Caleb, Pierce, Z K. Pangborn,
George Coffey, W. E Cole, and others.
Mr. Blair's speech was loudly applauded. It
was not materially different from hie late address
at National Hall. Mr. Ewing is the Republican
Senatorial elector In Maryland. He spoke four
times during the day with great earnestness, and
was received with enthusiasm.
Mr Morris Davis, People's candidate far Con.
press in the Fifth 'Raffia, made some remarks,
°Melly upon the expediency of securing a protee
tive tariff. Great Britain had failed of crippling
America in open war; she chose the more subtle
means of ruining her manufactures and dwarfing
her interests by the vaunted equitable policy of free
trade. Tha forges of Pennsylvania weresilent and
her furnaces sold, The free-trade policy oould be
overturned only by the inauguration of Republi
can candidates Mr. Davis spoke at the other
stand, and was repeatedly oheered.

Preston had alterations made calculated to increase

explode before long after being used. The Messrs.
Preston ootanaunioated these tears co the makers of
the bolter, Messrs. Weidener, who assured the
Messrs P. that their apprehensions were ground
less, and thrt the boiler would stand a mach
