IRE TRIIIIITR FOR TILE UNION IN PENN-
SYLVANIA.
This, then, is the result of all the evi-:
Alence, argument, and eloquence employed
'to convince the Democratic voters of the
"North that the Democratic party is no
longer loyal. Penn Sylvania, true to the
Vhion, ANDREW G. CURTIN still her Go
vernor, and all that we feared and detested
forever crushed beneath a triumphant ma
jority. The Government sustained, justified
in all it has done for the subjugation of
the rebellion, and strengthened by the
Tower of the A.merican people to 'glorious
ly end what it has nobly begun. Ohio,
too, is saved by the loyalty of her voters,
End gives a stupendous majority for
Tom Bnotrow and the Union. Now may
we enthusiastically claim that the whole
North is-united, for with Ohio, Maine, Con
necticut, Vermont, Pennsylvania repledged
to the Union, it matters little that llonn.rfo
BEYNOUR is still Governor of New York ;
and that the _Empire State will be redeemed
in the election soon to come, is a certainty
'which no man who has rightly read yester
.
clay's lesson can doubt.
Pennsylvania has emphatically., rebuked
the insulting attempt to drag her into the
.. r . g rola_ofthe nation's foes. Henceforth let
- n o man doubt loyalty, and let no new
GEORGE W. WOoDwAuD, with disloyal
words uPon his lips; and disloyal counsels
to her people, dare to ask for office 'at their
hands. Forever and forever, sympathy with
slavery and treason is powerless in the limits
, of our free and noble Commonwealth. The
great truth that no party, however powerful
its influence, howe - Ver illustrious its record,
can succeed if it opposes the Union, is esta
'Wished; and equally great. as this, abso
lutely established, is the truth that for Ame
ricans in the war for the . salvation of Ame=
rica, all parties are dead, and the people
.a.lone live. Call that great loyal organi
7.ation which sustains the Government, and
with all its power opposes its enemies, a
party, but remember it is the Utrforr PARTY,
and may it be immortal while Freedom
needs a defender.
14,, this National Union party all loyal
'nen are equal, and the President stands
side by side with the humblest of Ameri
cans. Democrats, Republicans, Whigs, are
all brothers in the patriotic league, and the
armies of the. United States carry its ban
ners 'with them to victory. Therefore, the
triumph in Pennsylvania is national, and
has far more than State importance. No
longer need the doubter doubt, the timid
fear, the, traitor hope. Pennsylvania,
in electing ANDREW G. Cuamr on a Na
tional Union Platform, has sealed the fate
of the rebellion. her voice has gone forth
in trumpet tones to the North and South,
with solemn proclamation that treason on
the battle-fieid shall have no help from trea
son at the polls, but that both shall be ruined
and destroyed. This is the victory of the
war ; those who fought in it so nobly shall
long remember it with pride, and never shall
'it be forgotten While patriotism remains a
virtue, treason a crime, and Pennsylvania the
Keystone State of the Union.
The Letter of General McClellan.
We have not been among those who saw
anything dangerous in Major General Mc-
Crammill. As a man we have always felt
a kind regard for him, ana we have en
deavored to find him a great General. If
his generalship has disappointed us, it is his
misfortune and not his fault, and when .he
went into retirement we felt that it was
good policy to let him alone. He had a
,large salary, a splendid mansion, and a re
putation as a martyr among many suscepti
ble
citizens of the loyal States. With the
-exception oi an occasional mancrous - sugges- -
- tion from the New York Herald as to his
being a candidate for the Presidency, his
name had almost passed from the immediate
recollection of the nation; for the nation
had seen other men tried, and found-to be
st least as competent as General McCLELLAN.
During this political campaign his name has
been mentioned by both parties, and his sup
port claimed by the friends of WOOD WARD
and Guam. We made editorial allusion to a
telegraphic despatch we had received from
a citizen of Allentown, claiming General
MCCLELLAN as a friend of Governor Cum
.l,m in these words: "It is said that the
managers of the Copperhead meeting at Al
lentown, having invited Gen. Mee - Lomax
- to be present, received from him a letter
stating that if he had a vote in this State it
should be given to Gov. Cunau.s. Whatever
Gen. MCCLELLAN'S political preferences may
be, he could not as a soldier, who has had the
honor to command the armies of the Union,
, support a man who is opposed to the war for
- the restoration of the Union." In reply to
*this there is a letter in town purporting,to be
-written-by General McCLEousi to Colonel,
CHARLES J. Binni,A, in which he is said to p
deny the statement of our correspondent at
Allentown, and to express his symnathy
with GEORGE W. WOODWARD. II this
letter is true, General McCLELLAN must
lave taken some trouble to arrive at a con
clusion. He came to Philadelpnia and saw
Mr. Justice ' WoonwAnn. " I desire to
state," he says, "that having some days
ago had a full conversation with Judge
'WooDwAnn, I find that our views agreed,"
and then he volunteers the opinion that the
-election of Judge WOODVARD as Governor
of Pennsylvania is " called for by the in
terests of the nation."
General McCLELLAN tells us that he has
had a full conversation with Mr. Justice
IVooDwAnn, and that their "views agreed."
If this is so, then we have no hesitation in
saying that he did not leave the Army of
the Potomac a moment too soon, and his
removal by the Administration was an act
of 'wisdom, which time has thus speedily
justified. We are not familiar with
the views of General McCIABLLAN, but
as =he is said to tell us they agreed
'with those of the Democratic candidate
for Governor, we may arrive at some con
clusion as to their nature. The question of
slavery they undoubtedly 4iScussed. The
Judge sorely informed the General that it
was an " incalculable blessing," and that
"to think against slavery is a sin, and to
'speak against it a crime." Of course.,
agreeing in this, they proceeded to dwell
upon ;this "incalculable blessing," which
could only be thought of at the risk
of offending the conscience. The Judge
must have informed the General, 45
he informed the people itl Independence
Square, that the '"natural rights" of
the slaveholclers were grievously in peril
and that, they were justified in de
?fending them ; and we can imagine the
:pleasure with which the Judge and the Ge
meral recalled the success of these slave
holders, in defending their "natural rights"
on the Chickahominy, and their regrets that
they wore not successful at Antietam.
There must have been a greater regret still
- that the slave States were not permitted to
"go peaceably" in the beginning. We
:knew before that this was the opinion of
.11" fr. Justice WOODWABD, and now we are
told that it is endorsed by Gen. IIeGbELLAx.
Therefore, we retract what we said a few
days since, in reference to General MoCtiar,-
TAN, and what that soldier somewhat petu
lantly speaks of a " misrepresenta
tion." Our misrepresentation consisted in
saying, "whatever General 3100.tELLAN's
ipore m. aces maybe, he
,could not,
as a soldier who has had the honor to
command the armies of the Union, support
a man 'who is opposed to the war for the re
storation of the Union." We now find that
we were mistaken, and that this Gen.sral
does , iiiit find it inconsistent with his honor
as a soldier to give his voice in favor of a
— Man who - would to-morrow, if he had
the power, place Pennsylvania at the
feet of the rebel Confederacy. General
31cCormaisT forgets that many, of the
glorions opportunities which he failed
'to employ, as the commander of the Amer--
tan armies, were given to him by the very
Arlrinnw G. CURTIN he so officiously op
poses. Ile forgets that , when he came to
Washington, a military adventurer;no State
was more profuse in its contributions to his
success than Pennsylv'ania ; and no man did
more to enable him to' • gain the greatest
name in history than ANDREVi' G. CURTIN'.
Ile forgets that one year ago he thanyed
Governor Cuierni for his "wise and ener
getic action in calling out the inilitia;''of
Pennsylvania," in his own name and the
name of his army,—tendering him his ac
knowledgments for his "patriotic course."
Therefore, we say, that if his feelings as a
soldier could not restrain him, his feelings
of gratitude as a man should have made
him hold his peace.
If, then, Gen. McCi.,Brador has written the
letter which is now posted around this city
with, his named attached, he has ended his
career. The army will really see what man
ner of man he is, slid the country will re
joice to think that our soldiers are no longer
under the command of one who, while hold
ing a Federal commission, finds his views
agreeing with the most bitter and unscrupu
lous enemy of the Republic in the Northern
States. We want no soldiers under our
banner whc se sentiments are similar to those
of Mr. Justice Woonweitn.
PROUDLY may Philadelphia see her name
written first in the list of loyal cities; for
yesterday a great work was done by her
voters, which cannot be undone, though
disloyalty should do its worst. We ,are
proud of the principles triumphant, proud
of the candidates elected, proud of the men
with whom we live. Our citizens have
shown that country, is dearer to them than
party, and there is` ot a man who voted for
the Union, carried a Union banner, or gave
one cheer for the brave old flag, who may
not personally hold his head an inch higher
and say, "I, too; have helped." America
thanks all—all her loyal sons and daugh
ters—for now her liberty is vindicated,-and
the greatness of her future is assured.
Wm is the Governor of Pennsylvania ?
Not the man who said "let the South go
peaceably." No, one who is resolved that
if the South does break up the Republic, it
shall be because the armies of the Republic
cannot prevent it. Not the man who said
that "slavery is an incalculable blessing,"
but one who believes that freedom is the
fundamental principle of the Union, that
slavery is an incalculable evil. Not the
man who declared that " slaveholders might
use in defence of their slave property any
mums in their possession," but one who
is determined that the Constitution shall not
be violated, the nation ruined, to extend sla
very over free territory, or to keep one hu
man being in bondage. ANDREW G. CUR
TIN is the Governor of Pennsylvania, and
he is worthy of the honor.
NEVER have men displayed more courage
in breaking party shackles, more disinterest
ed sacrifice of party interests; than the loyal
Democrats in this great s campaign. They
have given new lustre to the title of Demo
cracy, and new proofs that the true Demo
cracy is devotion to the country. What
else could we expect from those Democrats
who cherish the principles and revere the
noble example of STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS ?
They could not be found in disloyal ranks,
opposing the Government and aiding the re
bellion which he wrought so well to pre
vent, and, had,he lived, would have done so
much to destroy. A good Democrat was
never more a Democrat than when he gave
his vote to the Union, and left his party whet;
GEORGE W, WOODIYAIM 'joined it.
AT Tma late hour we but approximate an
estimate, but we have evidence that our
Legislative ticket is elected. The House
is certainly Union ; the Senate, at the least,
is tied.

Special Despatches to The Press.
WASHINGTON, 1). C, oat. 13, 18118.
From the Army of the Potomac—Recent
Movements.
PartfeOWrsiarrived from the . front, this morning,
say there was considerable skirmishing, yesterday,
between the cavalry on either side, and that smart
musketry firing was heard, yesterday afternoon, in
the vicinity of Rappahannock Station. It .is pre
sumed here by persons generally well informed that
the movement of PanAnk was, in fact, one previous
ly decidedly upon in ease of certain contingencies,
as indicated by the sending to the rear, some time
since, certain articles of a cumbrous nature.
One hundred wounded from KILPATRICK'S omit.
ry division reached here this morning. One hundred
and thirty sick from the same army corps (2d) also
arrived. They were distributed among several of
the hospital& A number of prisoners captured
near Raccoon Ford on the 10th inst., reached here
froth the Army of the Potomac. It is represented
the fighting thus far has been purely, on our side, at
least, by artillery, and artillery supports of cavalry,
the main army not having been engaged at all. Last
night, at Warrenton Junction, some rebel sympa
thizer set fire to a train of ears containing hay and
grain, doing some little damage.
Passengers who arrived here from the front this
afternoon state that yesterday a reconnoitring
party of the 6th Oorps crossed the Rappahannock to
a short distance beyond, and returned towaids night
to near Bealton. Another reconnoitring party
skirted up the right bank of the Rappahannock
yesterday afternoon, and returned to the vicinity of
Rappahannock Station last night.
There was some skirmishing along the lines yes.
terday, but all was quiet through the night, up to an
early hour this morning.
The loss in GREGG'S division of cavalry is said to
be severe. The 14th and 16th Pennsylvania, and
loth New York, are suffering moat.
On Sunday night our forces crossed the Rappa
hannock, and on Monday morning two corps re
crossed and drove the enemy to Brandy Station,
with a severe loss in killed, wounded, and prison
ere, on the rebel side.
They then received an order to fall back, which
they did in good order, Gen. Enron'', with hie °swat
ry, on the left, IC.n.rAmnins in the centre, and
Gnmoo on the tight. GREGG and Bueonn succeeded
in holding the enemy in check, on the right and left,
until 9 o'clock, when, acting under orders, they fell
back on our main body, the purpose of the move
ment having been effected. The crossing by MEADE
to the north side of the Rappahannock was made
mainly, at 'Kelly's Ford, and it was effected in ad
mirable order. Captain Rriones and Lieutenant
PRENTISS, of the Ist Rhode Island Cavalry, were
seriously wounded.
The Evening Star says the skilful manner by which
111a.erta checkmated his astute adversary, and with
out loss of any sort to any appreciable extent,
placed himself on the other side of Jordan, and in a
position where he preferred to accept battle; seems
to have considerably bothered the rebels, who do not
Seem inclined to tight unleee with the Indian•like
advantages of a surprise and an ambuscadm The
change of position made by our army was effected
without the slightest confusion, and the amount of
stores destroyed or left behind, beyond Culpeper,
would not make a car load, all told. t
The following officers, wounded in the engage.
went on Sunday, arrived this morning front the
Army of the Potomac: Lieut. Col. °Roman, of
Gen, PLEASANTON'S staff:, Dr, PORWOOD, U. S.A.;
Lieut. CHAFPIB, 6th U. S. Cavalry, and Capt. W.
F. Amax, oth New York Cavalry,
Naval Affair&
Lieut. HENRY C. TALLIEAR, recently attached to
the Wachusett, under repairs at Philadelphia, has
been ordered to report to Admiral Dahlgren, imme•
diately, for dirty of Charleston. -
NAVY DEPARTMENT, OCt. 6 3 1663
GENERAL ORDER, No. 20
In the oases of the schooner " Prince Alfred,"
captured by the 'United States steamer Sutquehan
na, September 8, 18,51, and the' schooner "San
Juan," captured by the same vessel, September
B.Bth, 1861, prize lists have not yet been forwarded to
the Department, and the distribution of the prize
money is thereby prevented.
The Department therefore ands it neoeseary to
declare that the share of prize money which would
have accrued in' theee cases to Captain Jonzi A.
OnAuNearr, who Commanded the steamer Susque
hanna at the time of the capture, ie forfeited.
The "act for the better government of the navy
of the United Statee,” approved April 23, 1860, di.
reeled (Art. 7, sec: 1) that—
" The commanding alder of every ship or Tesrel
in the navy, who shall capture or seize upora any
vessel as a prize, shall carefully preserve alt the
papers and writings found on board, and transmit
the whole of the originals, unmutllatad, to the judge
of the district to which such prize is ordered to pro
ceed,an4l shall transmit to the Navy Department, and
to the agent appointed to pay the prize money, com
plete lists of the officers and men entitled to a share
of the capture, inserting therein the quality of every
person rating, on pain of forfeiting his whole there
of the price money resulting from such capture, and
aufliering such further punishment as a court-martial'
shall adjudge."
A. similar law, providing the same penalty for the,
tenure to transmit prize lista to the Navy Depart
ment, is contained in the "Art for the better govern
ment of the navy of the United States t' approved
July 17, 1862.
The Department has no discretionary power to re.
mit. this forfeiture. Its duty is continedlto the en
forniement of it, so EOM as It Is clear that the intent
o f the law has been violated, and its purpose defeat
ed, !aid that those entitled to prize money are suffer
ing the consequences of a culpable , neglect by theix
commanding after of a duty 10 strongly enjoined.
Its power to order a court martial, with. a view to.
theturther punishment of the offender, is disc:lr
tionary,, and it may be 'compelled to exercise this
pOWer. But it trusts that thigexampba of a faithful
ellfoflN2Merlt of --the positive and oertain penalty
provtided by the lawwill Dave the eireatot preventing
similar neglect of duty on the part of commanding
officers making returns. •

serve that the majority. for CURTIN
in three cotmties, is 21,782, and he
will also observe. that .in the added table
of majorities for CURTIN in 1860, if the
whole majority of 10,223, which he then re
ceived, were obliterated, he would still be
elected by over 21,000. We therefore place
his majority as at least 20`,000.

Hon. Charles J. Biddle, Philadelphia :
DEAR SIR: hly attention has been called to an
article in the Philadelphia Press, asserting tkat I
had written to the managers of the Democratic
meeting at Allentown, disapproving the objects of
the meeting, and that if I voted or spoke, it would
be in favor of Governor Curtin. lam informed that
similar assertions have been made throughout the
State. It has been my earnest endeavor heretofore
to avoid participation in party politics, and I had
determined to achere to this course ; but it is ob
vious that I cannot long maintain silence under
such misrepresentations. I, therefore, request you
to deny that I have written any such letter, or
entertained any such views as tibia attributed
to lie in the Philadelphia Press. I desire to state
clearly and distinctly, that, having some few days
ago had a full conversation with Judge Wood
ward, I find that our views agree, and I regard his
election as Governor of Pennsylvania called for by
the interests of the nation. I understand Judge
Woodward to be in favor of :the prosecntion of the
war with all the means at the command of the
loyal States until the military power of the rebel
lion is destroyed. I understand him to be of the
opinion that, while the war is waged with all possi
ble decision and energy, the policy directing it
should be in consonance with the principles of hu.
inanity and civilization, working no injury to pri
vate rights and property not demanded by military
necessity and recognized by military law among
civilized nations. And, finally, I understand him
to agree with me in the opinion that the sole great
objects of this war are the. restoration of the unity
of the nation, the preservation of the Constitution,
and the supremacy of the laws of the country. Be
lieving that our opinions entirely agree upon these
points, I would, were it in my power, give to Judge
Woodward my voice and my vote.
I am, very respectfully, pours, ,
GEO. B. Ma ()LEMAN.

The London Daily News says that Gen. Bragg's
victory over General Rosecrans is a striking de•
monetration of the wisdom of the new policy of
the Confederates, in combining their forces to re.
slat the advance of the Federals. The honors of
the battle belong to General Bragg. He must,
however, do more than he has hitherto done, if the
Confederate cause is to gain solid advantages from
his sword.
The Paris Steck argues that if Mr. Stephens, the
Vice President of the Southern' Confederacy, visits
Paris with the expectation of procuring the recogni
tion of the South, he wilt return home disappointed.
The time for that has passed, if it ever existed. The
South, by arming its negroes, shows that its resiat
ance is exhausted.

discount.
The London Timrs thinks that Gen. Roseerans was
defeated by the euperlor strategy. of the Con-
federates, rather than by mere fighting. It
says it is evident that the Federal troops con
tested the field obstinately, rallied when broken,
formed again, and renewed the engagement repeat
edly. They seem to have done all that bravery
and determination could effect, but the greater skill
of the Confederate generals in combining the force
which made the attack insured them the victory.
The London Herald look s on the battle as the most
decisive one fought in the Western States.
As to Charleston, the Army and Navy Gazette re.
marks, that the means of attack being superior to
that of defence, the plane must fall.
A letter from Brest, dated September 20th, says
that the Florida hen finished her repairs, and gone

The London Morning Post points to the con
tinuance of the peculiarity of this great war,
that neither of the belligerents should be permitted
for any protracted period to follow the path of vic
tory.
The Army and Navy Genetic attempts to show the
dangeroua position of General Rosecrans, but sug
gests that 'the Federal prospects may be brighter
than the telegram makes out.
There was an improbable rumor that the Cunard
company had proposed to purchase the Great East

SCENES ON CHESTNUT STREET.—AbOtit
nine o'clock last eveningthe lion-hearted Unionists
of the Tenth ward, headed with an efficient band of
musicians, formed themselves into a triumphant
procession, carrying with them a transparency an
pouncing, the majority of 1,229 for, the Union ticket.
On came the precession, down Chestnut street, cheer
ing loudly, and making the welkin ring with their
shouts of joy. A crowd of perhaps two thousand
were assembled in front of the Age office, anxiously
awaiting any little crumbs of political comfort that
might fall from the windows of that establishment
'Very few came up to this time, and, as the triumph
ant procession advanced, the crowd above spoken
of opened as easily as a dead oyster, and the Union
hits passed through rejoicing, and paid their custo
mary v lett to the newspaper offices that had advo
cated their principles during the campaign.
YrOm ten to eleven o'clock, some of the vote from
the Democratic towns and counties were announced
at the Age office, and this galvanized the crowd into
evanescent joy. The 'vote from the heavy Union
counties was not announced at the Age office. To
wards midnight the crowd dispersed, feeling, no
doubt, as though they had fallen from a very high
hill which they had built
The Twentieth Ward—A Grand Demon.-
stration.
The "Union Camp of the Twentieth ward had a
dress parade last night between the hours of eleven
and twelve o'clock. The parade was gay with lan
terns and several pretty transparencies. The line
was formed in the following order

of leading a wounded soldier to a hospital. Motto,
"The firm, brave patriot, Andrew G. Curtin, the
soldier's friend ; all true patriots voted for him."
Another banner, having on it an American flag,
with this motto : " This is the true and only flag for

the lion. Stephen A. Douglas : " There can be but
two parties—one for the country, the other against

Another banner, very well painted, representing

soldier to an ambulance on the battle-Held ; motto :
" The patriot loves our gallant soldieri."
On the reverse, in large letters, the words "God
and Our Country ;" "Our Country, may she always
be right ; but right or wrong, Our Country."
There was an almost endless number of small
lanterns, torches, and flags, in the line, the whole
forming a pleasing and attractive patriotic scene.
The procession halted in front of The Press office.
After the band had performed ' , Hail
loud cries were made for Col. 'Forney.
In response to the call of the multitude, Col.
Forney made his appearance at the window, and
spoke as follows:
SPERM OF MR. JOHN W. 'FORNEY.
FELLOW UNION Pilaw: - And I use these words
with a aignificance that I trust you will all remem
ber, because they refer to the fact that this is another
day that pronounces the banishment of party names,
until thin great rebellion shall have been crushed.
For; here you are tonight, Republicans, Americans,
and loyal Democrats, and I would not insult you by
calling you by any of the names which have been
postponed by common consent. The victory that
you are here celebrating to•night gives joy aR over
the State, and all over the nation. It is being hailed
in the East, and it is being hailed in the West
with gratitude and thanks. [Cheers.] You think
you have achieved an immense triumph, as you
have. [Cheers.] The figures now look as if Phila
delphia would give at least seven thousand majority
for Andrew G. Curtin, the soldiers' friend ! [Tre
mendous cheers.] And the figures for the State
look as if our majority would be from twenty to
thirty thousand. [Prolonged cheering.] - -
NOW, gentlemen, this inappreciable result has not
been accomplished by any;party ; [cries of "that's
so ; 5 9, it has been accomplished by a union of all
parties of loyal men. - [Applause.] It has been ac
complished not simply by the friends of the Govern
ment itself, but by the friends of t aesoldiersbesides
[applause ;] of those absent men who, while fig.b.ting
the battles of-the Republic, have been prevented
from voting for the Republic ! And you, you, stung
by this wrong, have thrown off all party ties, and
postponed all party prejudices to-day—have. sealed
your devotion to your country and your gratitude to
these noble defenders of your homes by such a ma
jority as will appal, treason in the battle held, and
will terrify the - sympathizers with secession in your
midst. [Loud cheers.] The voice that has gone up.
from you will make the heart of, every gallant sol.
Ndler.beat with pride and joy! Re will feel that you
who have been safe and prosperous at home have
not forgotten him in the midst of his trials and ant
[Minas. It will also go forth to these oilier Oleos
that were Waiting to hear what Pennsyrennia was
about to say. You have elected the entire Strafe dater
of New York on the third of November. [nreneendourr
cheering.] You have declared to the pecipfe of
Maryland that they are strong in their peat wair
for the emancipation of slavery. You have deed
by this vote that Charles Browne, whom you ro.
member in this city as a Democratic leader, and now
running for Congress In Delaware on the Copper*
head ticket, shall also be defeated I [Applause.)
And more than all, if their Iran be any greater re•
sults than them, you have declared in favor of the
entire policy of the Federal Administration.
(Cheers and cries "That's son You have de.

sented draft. You have declared In favor of the
splendid financial policy of Mr. Chase. You hare
declared in favor of the vigorous, honest, and intre-

whether in the Administration of the Federal Go
vestment or out of it, no man that belongs to the
Maori party shall dare to set himseif up against
the Federal Government, or against the policy
of that party. Whether that man be a ward poll.
titian or a Cabinet officer, you have, by this great
vote to-day, declared that he who is not will us is
against us. [Loud cheers.]
You have, also, said that Andrew G. Curtin is
worthy of the gratitude of the people of Penn
sylvania. [Cheers.] Die canvass in this great
campaign has been one of unparalleled splen
dor. Font the beginning to the ending he has
given his time and his talents to vindicate pod
and to vindicate himself. And if I could ever
envy any man, I to-day envy that man at Henke
burg, when he hears of these great doings which
bringto him, the glad assurance that his labors leave
not been in vain ! Well may he feel that although
the prize, when he gains it, may be a barred prize,
yet that he has at least achieved a vindication of kit
own conscience and a viiscication of the cause of his
country ! [Cheers.]
Now, a parting word. We have centre together
under the old flag. [Cheers.] We must stand to
gether. We must act together hereafter, Wheeze,
and cries "We will.") There must be no
more quarreling among the friends of the Go
vernment. This spectacle of Union and hare
mony is a signal and an admonition, so that wemay
keep together not only until the rebellion has been
crushed, but until we have so established or re.eis-.
tablished our free institutions, that we may be a
column irresistible against all opponents? We raw&
be a great party. We must be united. Philadelphia
henceforth should never give less than nine or ten
thousand majority for the Government. There must
be no dissensions„no reminders of past patties, no
revival of old prejudices, no old Whigs telling De
mocrats that they have gone over to the Republie
cane, or Democrats telling Whigs they have gone
over. We must be generous to each other. We
must unite. We must act together, and if that
is eo, we will be the grandest city in the American
Union; [loud applause] ; and not only the grandest
city, but the grandest party, holding in our hands the
destinies of the Republic, cheering on our gallant
friends of the Southern States—those loyal men
who havesuffered so much—etanding by them, stand
ing by the Government, ignoring the past, and only
acting in the present so as to make the future swoops.

A year ago this night, when an assemblage not so
enthusiastic as this did me the honor to pay this
office (the Office Of an independent and loyal journal;

have since that time been slandered by all the
Copperheads", from William B. Reed to Charles
3. Biddle, ("up " or " down" as you may
please to make it.) I asked the band to
play a national hymn, the hymn of John
Brown. [Cheers.] I asked them to play the great
poem or great epic, which told to the world that the
soul of that martyr, who fell because of his hostility
to slavery, was still marching on. And I tell you.
gentlemen, it is marching on. [Cries of That's so t
and tremendous cheering.] John Brown's knapsask
is not only strapped upon his back, but his soul is
marching on; aye, his soul is commingling with you'd
Now, gentlemen in conclusion, let me ask the hand
(a year ago the band which came here scarcely knew
the tune), to play Sohn Brown; for, I suspect it has
become as familiar to you as the " Star Spangled

The band thereupon struck up the familiar strain.

chairman of the Union Central Committee, at the
Union League House, avast assemblage of people

announcing the glorious victories from the various

of each increased the warmth of the enthusiasm.
which commenced to display itself upon the first an-
nouncement of victory. The despatches were read
from the window by Judge Kelley, and the crowd
cheered and hurrahed as every successive victo j ry

in front of, the League House numbered three or
lOU thousand, forming a compact mass nearly the
entire length of the square from Eleventh to Twelfth
streets. The city returns were the firet received.
and their highly gratifying character created an in
tense furore. It was evident as early as nine
o'clock that Governor Curtin was re-elected, and
every one was proud that Phlledelphia had so nobly
sustained him and the cause he represents. The
great Union gains in all the wards staggered the
skeptical, and surprised the sanguine. Those who
had the best right to know had set down our city
for about six thousand for Curtin, but the early re

The crowd remained on the front of, the building

About twelve o'clock the gas jet " Victor," was lit ■
and burned brightly for many hours afterwards.
Birgfeld's Band was stationed on the 'tem and
played many patriotic airs, Which created mach eX
citement. In answer to repeated calls, the band
played "John Brown' , twice, amid the clipping of
hands and cheers from many voices. Judge Kelley.
in announcing the last despatch, stated his belief
that the State had gone thirty thousand majority
for C,urtin, and with that assurance he could sleeve
contentedly until the following day, when ee hoped
the figures would be increased even more.
Another Serenade

another immense gathering of citizens, headed by
