Itriumph. The
• Rer. • c‘hands of men' who
~,,,,
were qx i
.0 into the embrace of
e' traitors and . ambitious 'adventurers. The
'people havdshown, by a verdict unexampled
in the history of nations for its unanimity
and grandeur, that they would not cOnside.r
the war they'had made so many sacrifices
to conduct a war of failures and crimes.
This question , was propounded to the people
bythe Democrats at Chicago, and they have
answered it, They say to their brethren in
the "Be of good comfort, we are
with you still ;" while to those who have
taken up arms against the nation they have
shown a determination to carry on the war
unjustly forced upon them until the submis
,
sicin or extermination of the Southern
traitors. The American people have thus
proved true, to their history, and those who
imagined that;the defeat of ABRAHAM LIN-
corer was the necessary result of the vio
lence and agitation of the Copperheads, as
well as the natural impulse of a people tired
of, war, will find in the result we print this
morning a triumphant and magnificent an
, a
ewer.. This is war for liberty, and the
American nation has determined to prose
.
cute it to the end.
Our returns are brief, sharp, and de ;
aSiVe. Not one State, as far as heard from,'
has cast its electoral vote for GEORGE B.
MCCLELLAN. Many of the States which
were claimed triumphantly for him have
given their adhesion to LINcoLN. We
knew little of the Western States, but
from the indications of Indiana and Ohio,
wa may safely say that the Western Corn
MORWBII,IthS have thrown a solid vote for
the Union. Delaware, which has all
.
along.been paraded as a model Demo
cratic State, has voted against the De
- mocratic candidate. New York has re
pudiated the infamous SRI - noun, and New
England is a unit in behalf of freedom and
- the candidates' of freedom. We are half
willing to concede Kentucky and New Jer
sey to MCCLELLAN, for the purpose of
hiving his party a nominal representation
in the electoral college ; but in New jersey
everything looks well, and in the absence
of a'll news frOra Kentucky we may
do our intrepid and loyal friends in
that State the justice to -believe that
their efforts have not been in vain. - It
would be a poetic triumph—se poetic,
indeed, that we are afraid to accept the
very evidences that crowd upon us—if the
loyal States of this Union were to cast a
solid vote in behalf of Mr. LINCOLN. We
should not b.p surprised if the returns of
to-day exhibited such result. In our
own State we have shown that Pennsyl
vania, however laggard when minor mat
ters are at stake, when the question is one
attending the • advancement of mere men,
is always true to freedom and loyalty.
Philadelphia reaches the grand majority
ten thousand on the home vote, and from
every part of the State; e hear' evidences
of-the strength, and courage, and enter
prise of the Union party.
In .the midst of this great triumph we
have only one word to say. We have re-
fully eetablished the pu'rp . ose of the North
to sustain and strengthen the hands of the
Administration in 4he prosecution' of• the
war. This we have done with as much
earnestness and calmness as we could
show. We cannot forget, however, that
the campaign which ended yesterday was
the most vindictive and bitter ever known
in our history. This may have arisen
from the desperation of our opponents,
but of that let nothing now be said.
'lt is our pare to-day, as victors,
to harmonize our triumph. We are the
dominant party in the North, and we must
make our victory. the means of restoring
and strengthening public sentiment. We
are one people. We live under one flag.
Our happineis and the happiness of our
children depend upon the stability of this
Government: We have therefore no other
•
duty remaining but to continue in the path
weihave - Chosen, and, following out this war
to the end, endeavor to unite all men in its
support. The victory of to-day teaches us
loyalty, forbearance, harmony; and union.
Let us accept it in this spirit, and. with that
wish we congratulate the friends of free
dom in the universal world upon the result
of the Eighth of November, and unite with
every loyal mail in asking God to bless
ABRAHAM Lucconzi, once again Our Clio-
son Chief Magistrate
War Clouds in Europe.
It is reported from Europe that the at
peror NAPOLEON has given strict orders for
the withdrawal of every available soldier
from Mexico and Algiers at the first possi
ble moment, in order " that the army of.
France may be quite free in the Spring."
It may be asked what probable occupati9n
could that army then expect? The fact is,
a Convention has been entered into by
NAPOLEON and the King of Italy, by.
which, two years after the latter officially
makes. Florence his capital, the French
army of occupation will be withdrawn
from Rome ; by which, toO, the Pope, as a
temporal Prince, would
,be allowed to re
tain that portion of the States Of the Church
formerly geld: by the Papacy, retaining,
• also, a small but sufficient array of his Own,
and haying part of his national debt as:
slimed .by VICTOR EMMANUEL. •
It is admitted that the King of Italy re
linqiiih-es the design, if ncit the desire, of
making Rome his capital. The Eternal
City will be left to the Pope. But it is ex
iiected, that, as early as possible, VICTOR
EMMANUEL will
. strike a blow to round off
his .kingdom by restoring Venetia to it,
_
and it -is thought not improbable that
ila s i'inakini may assist him in this, if neces.
sary. That Would give Walk to the gallant
soldiers of France.
All that is yet' known of the new
Franco-Italiait Convention is the summary
of-its leading provisions communicated in a
recent despatch from M. DROIMTDELBUY - S,
foreign minister of France, to M. .I).E BAR
3wEs. There is no appearance of threat
in whit is proposed, but the Convention is
looked upon,, in Vienna, as a second edi
tion of ' NAYOLEon's famous and fatal
words addressed to. Baron HUBNER, at the
Tuileries reception of the Ist of January,
1859. As soon , as -news of the Convention
reached Vienna, orders-were despatched
to hasten the armaments of Verona, Man
tua, Legnano,and Peschiera.. The whole
frontier of Venetia has been placed in a
state of defence, or, as the Austrians say,
on a war footing. New and extensive for
tifications are already being constructed
on the left bank of the Po. On the 'other
band, says the authority we take these,
particulars from, " the Italians are
re
doubling their activity, and the War Office
of Turin is busy from nine o'clock in
the morning till night. The hammer of the
arsenal here does not rest even during the •
night, and the same occurs in those of Pia
cenza, Bologna, 'Alessandria, and Casale.
In consequire.qf 'the transfer of the capi-
o lorence, orders have been given to
iAye the, fortifications of Bologna greatly
ncreased and strengthened. New forts
a ill be raised on the left side:of the River
Reno, for the erection of which 20,000,000
francs are required. The large railway
station itself will be turned 'into a strong
fort, and a new one will be built at San Fe
lice gate. There is a swarming of work
men from all, parts of the kingdom is the
doCkyards of Naples, Genoa, and Castella
mare, Which, show that the Italian navy is
not idle, but preparing itself to assert by
deeds its superiority over the'meagre and
timid Austrian fleet anchored at Pola. The
Italians, in short think that, if they are,
compelled to renounce Rome - ,at least for
the present, Venice--tIP noble, the self
denying, the martyr Venice—will be united
to the Italian kingdom not later than next
spring." In short, it is considered as on
the cards that there will be a second war in
Italy, before many,montlis of 1865 have
passed.
Palmerston and ParNments,
Asor's fable of the , Dog and the Shadow
should be remembered by politician& The
substance is often. lost while the endeavor
is being made to grasp the shadow. SoMe
of our journalists, dissatisfied with the want
of sympathy shown by slavery-abolition
England to our anti-slavery :North, hav,e
sometimes expressed, if not a conviction,
at least a strong hope that this country
would gain by a change of ministry in Eng
laud. They are mistaken. The 'policy of
Lord PALMERSTON is now assured and•po
sitive, and the policy of his probable suc
cessors, only to be guessed at by their-par
liamentary 'and. other public speeches,
might be practically hostile to us and prac
tically favorable to the South. If the Earl
of Derby were Prime Minister of England
who can doubt that he Would hasten to re-'
cognize the rebellious ,South, for which,
in Parliament, he has repeatedly expressed
his sympathy and adriairation ? We may
complain that British neutrality has not
been rigidly enforeed—if it were, blockade
running would.be inippssibli---but, though
lukewarm, the Palmerston Ministry is not
hostile, as their successors might be
' and
whoever would desire to substitute King
Stork for King Log, assuredly thoughtful
men will not join him, We are'getting on
pretty comfortably with , the British Go
vezmnent, at present—all things consi
dered—and it may be prudent to leave well
I ,
alone.
The Palmerston programme for 1865 has
been set forth, in a semi-official manner, in
some of the London' papers, and, if, it be
carried- out, nothing can reasonably pre
vent the <Palmerston Ministry from remain
ing at least another year in office. The on
dit is that Parliament will assemble; at the
usual - time, in the last week of January or
the first week in February, 1865 ; that no
measure of public importance, except the
reduction of thirty per cent. of the army,
will lie proposed ; that the Budget* will be
hurried through, with some notable reduc
tions of taxation, to please the .masses;
that Parliament will be dissolved early in
May .; that there will be a General Election.
in June, befeFe the harvest ; and that the
new Parliament will assemble, in the fol
lowing November, for a short session i before
Christmas.
It is not actually imperative on Lord
PALMERSTON to call a new Parliament
in 1865. The Septennial Act limits the
constitutional existence of an English p
parliament to seven years. If not 'dis
solved by Royal authority before, it natu
rally becomes defunct on the day it has
attained the age of seven years. The pre-.
sent Parliament, elected under the auspices
of the Derby-Disraeli Ministry, commenced
its actual existence on June 7, 1859, when
Queen VICTORIA opened it, in person, by
reading to the assembled Lords and s Co
mmons, the document entitled "The Speech
from the Throne," which really is a mani
festo from the Ministry. The present Par
liament, therefore, may not only legally
have another (its seventh) Session in 1865,
but may even have an eighth Session, up
to June 6th, in.-the year, 1866--for it does
aarav vr~itriancv-a - eirr'llotnilof-co'ver
more than the seven years which was
fixed by law as the limit .of any
Parlia
ment's existence. Nothing is more cer
tain, therefore, than that two more ses
sions of the present Parliament may law
fully be held, before it expire by lapse,
The present Parliament has not yet ex
isted five years and a half— a shorter dura
tion than that called together, by the Mel
bourne Ministry, in Auguat, 1841, and
dissolved under the Russell Ministry, in
November, 1847. The history of Parlia
mentary duration -is -not aiithout interest,
particularly in contrast.with our own 'defi
nite and more sensible plan of Congres
sional election at fixed periods.
lip,to the Revolution of 1688, and a few
years later, a Parliament once elected con
tinued to sit during the whole reign of the
Sovereign, unless dissolved by him. In
the time. of, CHARLES 11. what has been
called " The Long Parliament" sat for,
eighteen years. In 1694, in the sixth year
of the reign of. WILLIAM and MARY, a law
was passed, called "The Triennial Act," .
by which every Parliament, unless earlier
dissolved.by the Crown, came to a natural
end in three years. Soon after the-acces
sion of GEORGE 1., while the country was
.yet agitated by the recent rebellion of 1715,
the Septennial Act was passed, extending
the duration of Parliament' to seven years,
unless earlier brought. to its close by being
dissolved by the . Sovereign's authority.
Repeatedly, since that time, efforts have
been made to shorten the duration of Par
liaments—either - to one, three, or five
years. Lord CHATILA•tt, in 1771, declared
himself a convert to triennial Parliaments,
but the adherents of radical reform, up to,
the present time, have invariably demanded
that a General Election shall take place
once a year.
No doubt, the power now held by - the
Sovereign (actually by his Ministry), to
retain a Parliament for seven years, might
be liable to much abuse—provided that a
majority of the members were time-serving
and corrupt. But it would reduire more
money and patronage that an English Mi-
nistry can dispense to purchase a working
majority in a legislative chamber. of 658
members. Moreover, the duration of Par
liament averages not much more than half
the seven years.
For example, let us go back, for only
thirty-four years, to the time when WIL
LIAM IY, bedime King. His first Parlia,-
ment assembled in November, 1830. That
same month, the Wellington Ministry went
out and Earl awry and friends went into
office. The first Reform Bill having been
defeated in April, 1.831, Parliament was
dissolved and a new Election took place.
There was another new Parliament con-
. vened, in Deeember,lB32, after the passing
Of the Reform Rill. Two years after that,
when PEEL first became Prime Minister,
he resorted to a general Election, to give
'film strength in the House of Commons,
and there were new Parliaments subse-
quently called under, the following circum-
stances : In 183'7, after the accession Of
Queen VICTORIA ; in 1841, on PEEL'S be-
coming head of the Government ; in 1847,
When his. successor, RUSSELL, wanted sup:
riori in the Commons ; in 1852, when Lord
DERBY became Premier ; in 1857, when
Lord PALMERSTON was beaten in the tom-
mons, Mr. COBDEN'S vote censuring him
for plunging into the war with China
having been carried, : in a House of 514
memberS, by a majority of 16 ; and, tagain
by Lord Ditiny in 1859, when his Reform
Bill was rejected by a majority of nineteen.
The Parliament he then called is that which
still exists.
Here, between 1880 and 1864, with the
power on the part of the Crown to have the
House of Commons sit, after each general
election, for the 'full legal term of seven
years (except inocase of the Sovereign's
death, when a new Parliament must be
summoned within a short time thereafter),
nine sepaiate Parliaments have been elect
ed—which gives very little more than an
average of three yeare,to each Parliament.
It thus appears that things are not always
as Dad as they seem. snglish parliaments
•
may endure for Bevervyears, but practically
their existence' extends to little more than
three.
It may be assumed, as fact, that PAL
mpßsTon's majority-in the present House
of Commons is sufficient -to keep, him in
office, Which is the cherished desire of his
heart ; that he legally need not summon a
new Parliament before June, 1.866 ; that he
Will not do so but at the moment best suited
to advance his 'own purposes ;. and that,
while he continues at the head ofthe Brt.
tish Government" the degree of neutrajity
now exercised towards the belligerents ,on
this continent may reasonably be,expected
to continue.
An Experiment in 7,6gislation.
Greece is a small, straggling, pauperized
kingdom, ,hopelessly in debt and, in a con
stant state of domestic squabbling. It pos
sesses a legislature, a cross between the
American Congress and the British Parlia
ment. This legislature has consisted of
King, Senators and Deputies—the constitu
tional
_fiction being thaL the first was con-
trolled by the other two "estates of :the
realm," but the serious fact being that his
Majesty—a lad in his nineteenth yeir—is
very nearly absolute, his will being the law,
and unchecked by ministers, senators, or
deputies. The legislative body is paid,
the Senators, chosen for life by the King,
each receiving ninety dollars per month as
salary, and the Deputies, elected for, three
years, being paid forty-five dollars a month.
Small as this dole is, publiciits are anxious
to obtain it The pay, by, the way, is re
ceivable only while the legislature
session. The high-minded Senators, re
solved to make the most of their chances
and position, manoeuvred to prolong the
session, in order to pocket a greater amount
of salary. This was done so, flagrantly
that the Deputies resolved to put it down,
abolished the Senate altogether, and re
solved to have only a single legislative
chamber. This is experimental—a trial of
what one House can do. The King of the
Efellenei, with good sense - beyond his
years, has remained neutral through' this
revolution, and accepts its result. A libe
ral English journal, which notices it, says:
"Possibly`we may now see what a single
House can do when responsibility is thrown
upon it It can hardly be doulited that had
England but one House its members would
act with an increase of caution which might
far more than compensate for any good the
Lords can do, while it would relieve the
nation from the heaviest incubus milts poli
tical progress. Indeed, all the Lards of any
capacity would be found in the single
House ; we should lose, only the old Con
servative' rubbish which is 'swept up by the
leaders from the country Whenever 'the
CommonS threaten any vested abuse." - We
suspect that the ,French could relinquish
their expensive and useless Senate still
more readily than the English could part
with their old-fa.shioned -Upper House,
whose chief business, for years past, has
been to obstruct'reform, retrenchment, and
progress.
Lieutenaut COlonel Hail.
It is with the sincerest sorrow that we
record the death of TiioNAs'N. HALL, late
lieutenant colonel commanding the 121st
Pennsylvania Volunteers, who died in this
I. city on Sunday morning last, in the
thirtieth year of his age. Lieut. Col. HALL
, was the eldest son of the Rev. Dr. Joux
HALL, of Trenton, New Jersey, and gradua
ted at Princeton College. Soon after he
graduated he - commenced the study of the
law in Philadelphia, in the office of his
uncle; the .Hon. WILLIAM M. MENEDITII,
and was admitted to the Bar in October,
1856. At the breaking out of the present
war, in 1861, he actively identified himself
with the well-known artillery company of
COL CHAPMAN BiIiDLE, and, in August,
1862, when the 121st Regiment was raised
for three years' service, although not at all in
robust health, he determined to give himself
to the service of his country in the field,
and accompanied i the regiment as its adju
tant. His regiment was in hard service
from the time it first went out from Phila.
At Fiedericksbur! • it formed a•
througliflirieberlines. At that battle the
regiment lost severely. Adjutant HALL
behaved with conspicuous bravery. His
horse was shot Ander him. At the subse
quent battles of Chancellorsvilla and Get
tysburg he displayed soldierly qualities of
a high order. In the steady, never-ending
routine of official business, with its innu
merable vexations, he was ever untiring in •
his faithfulness. Never absent from his,
post, he was foremost in every fight, and
foremost in every good work that tended
to improve his regiment. For more than
a year after his health was seriously impaired
he persisted in going through the severest
labors and exposure without a murmur.
Though not in the regular line of pro
motion, 6 djutaatllALL was, in the spring
' of 1864, at the request of his brother offi
cers, appointed major of the regiment, and
was subsequently made lieutenant colonel.
Soon after this his health, which had been
for a long time failing, gave way entirely,
and he was obliged to resign the service, in
order to prolong for a few short months a
life which had already; as it were, been
freely given to his country. Pennsylvania
has never mourned a truer soldier, or one
of more unselfish purity of life. He knew
not self ; his constant thought was for the
comfort of others. With the highest order
of courage he combined a gentleness of
disposition almost feminine. Respect was
too cold a word to express the feeling of
his regiment for him, who asked none to
• follow where he dare not lead. Of the
many excellencies of his
.priva•te life we
cannot trust ourselves to speak. -Alas ! that
such a • precious life—one abounding in
every social and domestic viriue—could not ,
have been spared for further years of use

Bon , ron, irov.B.—The following is a brief account
Of the circumstances of the capture bf the pirate
Florida. She arrived -at Bahia 13tiy,';off San Salva
dor, oft the night'of the 7th ultimo.
• Captain Collins having held a contiltation with
his officers, determined to sink the Florida in port.
,Kocordingly,about SVolock the cables were slipped,
and the Waohusett steered fOr the'Florida, hib
Unit her on the quarter without doing any great
injury. •
Captain Collins now called ont to . those on board
the pirate to surrender or he would Sink her. The
demand was replied to by the first lieutenant,
"Under the oircumstances, I surrender !" A. haw
tier was now made fast, the cable sliiiped, and the
Florida towed to sea. In the melee, several pistol
shots were fired, and accidentally two guns from
the Wacbuaett.
Captain Morrie and half tho Florida's crew were
ashore on liberty. No lives were lost.. The 'Flori
da was taken completely by surprise, Seventy of her
men, it was known, being. on shore. The others,
having just come aboard, were aaleei) and intoxi
cated.
The blow given the Florida by the Wiwi/watt
oarried away the mlzen mast and main yard, whioh
fell on the awning, preventing any of the crew from
getting up from below.
So unconscious was the officer of the deck of the
intention of tho Wachusett's captain, that he sang
out, " You will run into us If you don't take care,"

SPEECH OF SECRETARY SEWARD.
THE CRISIS AND THE POLICY.
FACTION AND TEEA.BON MUST DIE,
Secretary Seward went to his home at Auburn,
N. Y., on Saturday last, in order to be present and
east his vote at the Presidential election. On Mon
day evening he addressed a large assemblage of the
people of Auburn on the issues of the day. We
make the annexed extracts from his speech
FELLow. CITIZENS : Of oourse you understand that
I have come home to vote. [Cheers, and cries of,
"That's what we want now !"] To vote here for the
tenth time in ten out of the nineteen Presidential
elections which the people of the United States
have enjoyed. [Applause.] A change or succes
sion in the Executive power of a ss nation le always
vital, and that change in our coelhtry constitutes a
perpetually'recurring crisis. The elector la mortal.
I have come home to exercise my suffrage as hereto
fore, with the conviction, which I suppose you all ens
tertain for yourselves, that this may bo my last time.
Every country that has existed, especially every
free country, has passed through the fiery furnace
of civil war. Spanish America, with all its free
States, France, England, Spain, the Netherlands,
Switzerland—indeed, civil war is chronic, and do
meal° harmony an abnormal condition in most of
those States. No Government in any of those
countries ever was less embarrassed in civil war by
faction than the Government of the United States
during the last three and a half years. None of
those Governments at that same time ever dealt
with domestic faction with so much moderation and
humanity as this Government has practiced toward
citizens who have aided and abetted, fed and warm
ed, olothed and armed, its open and defiant enemies.
Not one head has fallen on the judicial block. Nor
need you be alarmed at those demonstrations of fac
tion. The people of the United States have bad a
Christian - education, a political education, a moral
education, such as Providence has never before
vouchsafed to any nation; and great as the forces
and facilities of faction are, the - repressive and loyal
forces possessed by this people are magnified and
multiplied in proportion. [Cheers.] There
is no question before you of abandoning the war
measures against slavery and substituting for
them a policy of conservation or concession to
slavery. Those measures are a ,part of the war.
[Cheers.] 'lt is for the nation in a state of war, and •
not for the nation in a future state of peace, that
the Government is noting, and of course that we are
voting. There is no question before you of chang
ing the object of the war from the maintenaransof
the Union to that of abolishing slavery. Slavery is
the mainspring of the rebellion. The Government
necessarily strikes it in the very centre as well as
upon every inch of Its soil. In my poor judgment
the mainspring is already broken, and let the war
end when it will, and as it may, the fear that that
mainspring will recover its 'elasticity may give us
at present no uneasiness: Before. the war slavery
had the patronage and countenance of the United
State!! against the whole world. Its inherent error,
guilt, and danger are now as fully revealed Co the
-people of the United Stateisas they have heretofore
been to theoutside world. Before the calamitous
war in which slavery has plunged the country shall
end, it will he even more hateful to the American
people than it already's to the rest of mankind, while
their condemnation of it will remain unchanged.
Persons ask me on every hand, " Is the war to last
forever?" "How long is the war to last 1" I an
swer, the war will not last forever, but it must oon-
Ulnae until.we, give .up the conflict or the enemy
give up the conflict. Are you prepared to give up
the conflicts [Cries.of "No, never!"].You say,
"No, never." Why 1 Because in that ease you
give up the national - life. In any and every event
the nation must live. If you were to give up the
national life you enter in the state of national
death. What that state is, God be thanked we do
not certainly know. He has mercifully withhold
that terrible knowledge from our keenest search and
speculation. But we do know that national death
usually consists of several stages. The first is do- •
mestic civil war—not a civil war across a bor
der, such as this war is, but a real civil war—a
civil war brought home to our own cities, to
our own altars, to our own firesides. We know
by the experience of other countries that with
occasional respites, resulting from exhaustion,
this aggravated form of civil war continues until a
military despot is welcomed to arrest the effusion of
blood, to restore tranquillity and quiet, with' the
less of
.civil, and, if need be, religious liberty.
[Cheers.] This is the terrible condition into which
you rush to escape from present civil war. Every
one of the supporters of the Administration knows
this as well as I do, and sees it as clearly. In view
of - calamities, so far transcending those we are
slow suffering, of course the Government will not
abandon the conflict until the majority of the people
decide that it shall be abandoned. On the other
hand the enemy will abandon their rebellion just so,
soon as they shall have the undoubted assurance
that It .cannot prevail. [Cheers.] They will do
SO lOr two swops ; Firet, no faction aan indefinitely,
continue. a struggle that .111. hi: 0 1)& 1 r°. Secondly,
because they give up •no national life, but
they, as well as • we save their own na
tional existence by their defeat and overthrow,
and a better national existence than in their mad
dest hours of 'delusion they have ever conceived as
the result of their unlawful enterprise. [Cheers.]
Suppose, then, that the people, as we all agree they
will, support the Administration by their suffrage
to-morrow. The rebels then have the assurance of
the American people, made upon a fall rehearsing,
of the merits of the controversy, upon appeal and a
full examination of results thus far obtained, with
the relative forces• of the parties yet remaining in
reserve, that the conflict is not'to be abandoned on
our part.' [Tremendous cheers.] - The messengers
who come hither from the rebel regions will be dif
- invent from those who are now lingering and loiter
ing on the Canada shores, lo aid the execution of
the plot conceived against you at Chicago. [Cheers.]
The messengers who come will come not as those
last mentioned, with commissions - addressed to the
pusillanimous and factious minority of the. North,
but they will come addressed to Abraham Lin
coln, the honored father of the American nation.
[Great applause, and three cheers for " Old
Abe."] Their message will Lot be conceived in
the insolent words, Your war for the Union has
failed: desist from arms, and give us. through mega
tiation, separate independence." But it will be
"Father Abraham, we have sinned before God and
against our brethren. We -repent our error; we
disavow and offer .up the traitors who have led us
into crime. Extend your protection over us, and
give us once more peace and communion with you
at our altars and our firesides." [Prolonged and
vehement cheers.] This is the way in which I think
the war Is to end. I know that in that way It will
end Boon. I am not going to surrender to the re
bels. No l though they extend the desolation or

rebels in arms. [Cheers.] However it may be with
others, "I looked before I leaped." If rcould have
been ready to surrender now, I should have pro
posed surrender at the beginning. I should have
acceptedterms.without waiting for Ball Run—cer
tainly after Bull Run. I would have availed my
self of the first gleam of victory to secure terms as
little humiliating as possible. I should have nego
tiated alter the capture of New Orleans, after hlur
freesboro, alter Norfolk, after Antietam, after
Vicksburg, after Gettysburg—l would have gone,
under the pressure of national afilictioni and made
r every defeat a claim to rebel sympathy and cle
mency. After the first Ball Run battle, after
the second Bull Run battle, after Gaines'
DIIII, after Fredericksburg, after Chancellorie
s-111e, after the defeat of Banks on the Red
river—l am not-' going to surrender, now nor
never As for the arts of statesmanship, I know of
none applicable in this case. The only art of states
manship that I do know is to be faithful to God and
to my country. [Applause.] . I seek to cultivate
charity and prevent war, civil or foreign, as long as
consistent with national justice, and honor, and
safety, it can be prevented ; but when in war, to
fight with courage, constancy, and resolution, and
thus to save my country, or fall with its defenders.-
[Tremendous cheers.] The battle thus waged in
this case cannot fail. Even if it could fail, the field
which was lost would for ever be a holy sepulchre,
which would send up through all coming rime in
spiration, to reanimate and cheer on the friends of
progress, of liberty, or humanity. [Applause.]
Gitribalai's Yacht.
COWES, ISLE Or WIGHT, MONDAY.
The yacht purchased for General Garibaldi is
I now lying off West Cowes, quite ready for sailing,
and only waiting a more favorable wind to start
on her voyage to 'Caprera. An Inspection of this
little vessel has given great satisfaotion to all who
have• been sufficiently Interested in the matter to
pay her a visit. She Is a schooner of 60 tons
burden, and is truly elegant in . shape and fittings.
Painted black, with a gold moulding round the
hull, a beautiful female figure-head in white and
gold, and with - her newly.seraped spars and
snowy sails, the first impression is a most pleasing
one; nor does a closer Inspection destroy the
charm. In every particular, and throughout the.
Whole vessel, elegance and comfort reign supreme,
The ladies' state cabin, which will be for the gene
raPs own use, Is a perfect boudoir the panels of the
ceiling and walls being filled In with exquisite fres
co,paintings of all that is beautiful on land and sea
—flowers, corals, shells, and figures, The furniture
and fittings are of solid mahogany, and sliver and
green damask; that of the dining saloon crimson
damask. There Is a small library, every description little
craft is well laden with gifts of every description.
The table linen is very fine and choice In design.
She makes up ten berths, six of which are polished
mahogany with spring mattresses, a cooking stove,
a kind of pantry or . larder, and every ar
ran gelnent to insure the comfort of the gene.
rat and his friends. She is expected to make
the voyage in about - a month, will touch
at no port until she reaches Maddalena, and is en
trusted to the care of Captain Campbell, a man of
tried probity and experience. The deputation
going overland will proceed in her from Aleddalena
to Caprera, where she will be duly presented to the
illustrious man whose friends have -thus sought to
express their appreciation of his character and their
e mpathy with his tastes, for doubtless a yacht will
be the most acceptable gift that could be chosen.
The ladies of Birmingham have sent a silver-tea
service for the yacht. Mappin, Webb. & Co., of
Cornhill, contribute a handsome silver plate dinner
and dessert set knives, forks, &o. Alderman Cope
land, M. P., gives a dinner service. In fact, the
yacht is loaded.—Liverpool Mercury, Oct. 28. - .
Tax Liverpool Mercury gives the following int&
resting sketch of a new play called after the great
actor,David Garrick, now being acted at the Prince
of Wales Theatre In that city :
Mr. E. A. Sothern, who acquired such celebrity
in the role of 'Lor'd Dundreary, is now appearing
nightly at this theatre as David Garrick in the play
bearing. that title. As many of our readers are
aware, the piece was brought out in the first instanoe
at the Haymarket some months since, and has been
produced with great success in the provinces. The
pu incidentnformed that " this play is founded on
ansaid to have Occurred to Garrick, but
which has no pretension to biographical accuracy."
The following is a sketch of the plot: David
Garrick has become famous as an- actor, when
Ada Ingot, the 'daughter of Mr. Ingot, 9.„ rich
merchant and an alderman of the city of London,
is in the habit of visiting ' the' theatre. She is not
only delighted with 1 acting, but she falls despe
rately in love with him. Ile,too, has 'observed the
Interest she manifests in his performances, and be
n-Ines deeply enamoured of her, though 'her name
and position in society are unknown to him. Her ,
constant attendance at the theatre has aroused the
suspicions of Miss Ingot's father, and he at len g th discovers, discovers, to his annoyance, that has given her
heart to "a play actor," a profession he holds in
contempt. Moreover, he has set his mind upon his
daughter marrying her cousin,Dick Chevy, a horse
racing, foxhuntibg squire, who can talk of little
else but horses and dogs. In this extremity ho
sends for Garrick to his house, questions him as to
the income ho derives from the pursuit of his pro.
fession, and offers to double that income if he will
leave the stage and quit England. Garrick laughs
at the proposition, and at last the merchant ex
plains the real state of the matter, at the same time
giving him to understand 'ver plainly that the
marriage of his daughter with "a play.actor" is
not even to be thought of. The tone in which the
old gentleman speaks of his profession excites Gar
riok,a indignation, and he haughtily intimates that
he, the despised actor, would marry no man's daugh
ter till the father came to him, bat in hand, and told
H
him he was welcome to her.' However having little
Idea of what be engages to do, he offers to "cure
her " of her attachment to himself, and at his own
request he is invited to dinner at Ingot's house
the same evening, it having been previosl
arranged that he is to manage th ma t te r
in his own way.. On arriving at the 'house
and being down into the drawing.room, he
discovers, to his dismay, that Miss Ingot is the
lady who seemed to regard him so Intently at
the theatre, and who has become the object of his
adoration. But he has given his word of honor,
which be cannot break, so, martyr.itice, he coin•
mences the task he has undertaken to perform.
Though suffering the greatest anguish, lie feigns
.drunkenliess, !mufti the guests at the dinner
table, drives them from the room in a state of
indignation, and then staggers into the drawing=
room.. Here he rolls about amongst the ladles,
swears, sits down to play at cards, enacts the part
of a bully, and conducts himself in a manner so
.horrilybig and disgusting to Miss Ingot that she
orders him to' quit the house. Actuated by' the
stdden revulsion of feeling created by Garrick's
behavior, she consents to marry her cousin, '
Soon afterwards this worthy drops in on his way
bone front "his club, half drunk, and relates in
lain Ingot's 'Knouts how Garriok had presented
himself at the club in a melancholy mood, and there
told a party of friends of the deception he had prac
ticed. Chevy also informs Ada that Garrick hat
become Involved in a quarrel on her account, and
must consequently tight a duel the next day. Her.
passion for the great actor revives, and, leaving her
father's house, she proceeds to the lodgings of her
lover with the purpose of preventing the duel if
possible: Her father traces her thither, and Is con
cealed in Garrick's study during an interview be
tween the lovers. Garrick tells Ada of the deep
affection iffentertatus for her, but impresses upon
her the duty she owes to her father, and implores
her to be obedient to his wishes. The old gentleman
overhears what passes between the , young people,•
alters. bis opinion respecting gi play actors," and
makes them happy by consenting to their union.

STREET SCENES LAST ETENING.
It being evident at an early hour that the aggre
gate vote would show an increase for•• the Union
ticket over the number of votes polled on the second
Tuesday in October, the victorious delegations of a
number of wards paraded with Music, lanterns, and
transparencies. The first ovation of the victors that
came under our observation was that'of the First
ward, announcing the majority for the Union ticket
at 955, being !vetoer gain of 118 votes over that
polled for Sheriff in October. On they marched in
triumph. While passing the Keystone Club quar.
tern &demonstration was made from the sidewalk.
It was a alight skirmish—t l short, sharp, and deal
sive." Nobody hurt. At this time a dense mass;
probably numbering two thousand, was assembled
In front of the Age office awaiting the announcement
01 those heavy majorities for the McClellan opposi
tion, the transportation of which was to break down
railroad trains or snap magnetic wires. While stand
ing like BO many drooping "roosters" in a heavy
rain storm, announcement was made that the vote
in Mauch Chunk showed an increase of seven.
Three cheers were given, and again the party re
lapsed into a quiet state, and • looked, and probably
felt, as forlorn as the last batch of Moseby's guerillas
that passed through our city as prisoners of war. •
Presently the scone was enlivened by the ap
proach of the Ninth ward delegation, upon whose
banner was inscribed "252 majority, in spite of the
Gas Works and all colonization:" This party filed
to the right on Chestnut street, and counter
marched westward to the tune of "Rally round the
ling, boys l" • -
Then came other wards, rejoicing in their strength
and victory.
Presently, •the First ward having reached the
Union League Headquarters, returned, headed by
a wagon. Upon approaching Fifth street the mar
shal, to avoid a collision with the crowd in front of
the Age office, turned down Fifth street.
Then the crowd,of the Opposition galvanized them
selves into spasmodic life by loudly groaning. The
delegation stopped, and presently the word rang
along the line, "let's go through." They did go
through, with torches and banners aid flags flying—
then stopped, walked back to Fifth street, and,
amid cheers for Lincoln and victory, proceeded
down Fifth, street. It : was evident that somebody
was going to be hurt; bat the "Cops" gave way, -
and all was soon still.
The returns now began .to come in from New
York. Heavy Democratic majorities pleased the
multitude, and the response was decidedly and un
equivocally vigorous. The knowing ones wore not
at all satisfied- with the announcement. They ex
pressed fears of the news via that celebrated strut
tare known in political history as the Cayuga
bridge.
The Union men crowded Chestnut street for a
mile in length, cheering and shouting themselves
hoarse. Presently the Fourteenth ward delegation
came along with a banner, announcing the impor
tant fact in snakeology, that "November is entirely
too cold for Copperheads." This delegation went
through the Opposition crowd without any particu
lar molestation the Unionists cheering and the Op
position groaning. This, -with the music of the
bands, made the time, though rain was now falling
fast, very lively and exciting. The Udion majority
being so completely overwhelming, the victors
could stand anything except the overt act of a phy
sical blow. As it does not appears that any were
Tiven, there was nothing of the kind to be returned.
aking everything into consideration, the grand
final result, locally speaking, is certainly entirely
satisfactory to the.lovers of the Union, Liberty, and
a conquered peace. •
THE POLITIOAL HEADQTYLE,TERE.
Though the evening was a London evening, fog
gy and murky, with a drizzling rain filtering down
through the damp, clammy mist, covering pave
manta and streets with a slimy mud, large crowds
gathered in front:of the various political headquar
ters to cheer returns that were favorable to the tri
umph of their principles, and to growl and coin
plain at those that were not: In front of the Union
League, the hundreds who stood patiently waiting
for information were roofed all over with a con
tinuous undulating reach of umbrellas. The trans
parencies covering the front of the headquarters of
the Supervisory Committee for recruiting colored
troops were lit up, and on a line run diagonally
from the roof of ,the building to that of
another en the opposite side of the street
were suspended illuminated globes, each bearing
the inscription : " Victory " Emancipation !"
ternating with these globes were various pennants,
also inscribed, but to what effect even the glaring
light from the many gas-jell in the neighborhood
would not assist us to ascertain. Similar globes,
differing only in the inscriptions—the names of the
States which could safely be claimed for re-Presi
dent Lincoln—dangled in the space between the
Union League House and Concert Hall. In the
Hall of the Supervisory Committee a collation was
partaken of by many geetleruen prominent and in
terested in the organization of colored regiments,
when sufficient returns were received to authorize
the belief that the cause of freedom and emancipa
tion was assured of success by the popular endorse
ment of its champion.
The headquarters of the Democratic State Execu
tive Committee were totally dark and deserted, and
we presume that the headquarters of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee would have been,
also, had it not been that the rooms of the National
Executive committee were directly opposite. 'Here
the number of curious persons was great, and all
made evident their sentiments by repeated cheers
for the President. 7
-Taking all thing's into consideration—the excite '
ment attending the canvass, the bitterness of feel
ing engendered in - many cases, the wide difference
between the opinions of the opposing elements, and
the importance of the issue—the night was passed
pleasantly and peacefully. We heard no i taunts, no
loud words that would indicate the petty spite
and enmity that too often are suffered to en
ter into our political canvasses. The defeated
submitted good-humoredly—the victors contented
themselves with but moderate demonstrations of
what was undoubtedly groat joy. The ." happy
mean" was carefully followed by every one, with a
few exceptions, that - must, in the nature of things,
always be n ads. No riots, that suspicions minds

TRAIN SPEARS.
•
George Francis Train, whose erratic campaign
has already been fully chronicled in these columns,
made a speech in Union League Hall to an over.
flowing audience. He commenced at eight o'clock,
and 'entertained his hearers with a great many witty
and eccentric remarks, which were laughed, at or
applauded to the echo. Mr. Train afterwards re
tired from the hall and proceeded to 'the Con
tinental hotel, followed through the rain by
an admiring crowd, who, when he reached
\ the hotel, demanded another speech. This crowd
was much augmented by the throng already con
gregated before the hotel, the retarded currents of
people that flowed up and down both sides of the
street, and a strong detachment of the Republican
Inllncibles. - But he had scarcely uttered kis open
ing sentences before his remarks were received with
a hurricane of hisses. After several ineffectual at
tempts to quiet these emphatic demonstrations,
there came. a general fight, which resulted in the
dispersion of the hissers.
ANNIVERSARY OF TITE MERCANTILE RENE
FICIAL ASSOCIATION.
The twenty-third annual meeting of this excellent
association was held yesterday afternoon. C. .T.
Hoffman, Esq., was called to the chair, and Wm.
A. Relln appointed secrefEry.
W. C. Ludwig, Esq., president, submitted the
following as the twenty-third annual report of the
Board of Managers :
The close of another year brings with it the pain
ful reflection that the great crisis- of our nation's
life is still impending over our once peaceful and
happy land—that treason, in its most hideous
form, Is still . pertinaciously .exorcising its ft:fillip
once to overthrow a government established by
our common ancestry, built up and cemented by
their blood and treasure, and founded on the broad
and liberal principles of right, justice, and humani.
ty. But, notwithstanding the elements of peril
and destruction which at present surround us,.we
are firm in our faith that, under the guidance of a
wise and just Providence, our Government will
yet emerge triumphant from the terrible ordeal
through which it Is passing; that the integrity of
the Union will be preserved,the authority of the
Constitution restored, andhe honor and supre
macy of our glorious 'flag be proudly maintained.
The year that is just past, as we all are aware,
has been one of stirring events . The, public mind
has been excited to its utmost tension. A civil war;
such as the world has never known before, has - not
only spread desolation and misery over a large por
tion of this once united and prosperous land, but
bee more or less affected every department-of trade..
With prices fluctuating, exchange unsettled, and
gold no longer a currency, no one has been able to
compute the results of his labor, or to estimate for a
single day the valuerofids property. And yet there
never was a ported in ,the history of the world in
which so much has been freely given by the people
in aid of charity as in the last three - years. The
enormous sums raised by the different sanitary com
missions in the loyal States, during the past year,
are entirely unprecedented. The individual con
tributions Tor the enlistment of the army amount to
as much all a few years ago would have paid the
national debt. The vast amount of stores, of cloth
ing, and wealth of every description which has
been dedicated by young and old, rich and poor, to
the relief and nourishment of the sick and wounded
in our military hospitals, can scarcely be estimated.
Alongside of such munificent benevolence the
small annual subscription to the society 'appears
trifling and insignificant. It stands as a unit among
thousands—a, glimmering light paling before a
gorgeous sun. Yet still the usefulness and im
portance of our association should not be under.
rated onlhat account. It had its origin in more
peaceful times, and we -hope it will live beyond the
dangers and calamities which so long have encom
passed us. We must also recollect that the benefits
It confers are not the eleemosynary offering of a
stranger's hand, but a privilege to which all its
membership are legally entitled. If it is different
in its character from a common insurance, it Is only
so because the motive which called it into being is of
a less selfish nature than that which is so usually
to be found in the germs of an ordinary contract.
It is this simple difference which takes it out of the
common transactions of profit and loss, and places it
beside those noble institutions of the age which love
to God and good will to man have reared In almost
every townat good and district throughout the land.
it has done Is patent to y t
allli h familiar with the operations of the ever societony. e
It
adds, it is true, no increase of wealth to the already
accumulated store ; it guarantees success to neither
industry nor enterprise, but simply when fortune
is bankrupt and industry lies paralyzed, If. Its
hand in man's utmost need, and gives him aid and
friendly counsel when from the very circumstance
of things it is impossible for him to help himself.
Trifling as it may appear. to be, it -is of more im
portance than, when flushed with success or rich in
means, we are apt to estimate. A small sum to the
entirely destitute to relieve his immediate wants
or to afford him 'an opportunity of . again bat
tling for a new estate, wilt often be the Initial
point Gilds future fortune ' • and it is this kind of aid
and encouragement which this association gene
rously offers - to its members, and is of more avail
than tenfold the amount under other circumstances
or in brighter days. As an evidence of this troth
we might safely appeal, were It necessary, to those
who have been the subjects of relief; bat this your
board cannot do without making known the names
of those who have been so unfortunate as to require
it—a publicity which delicacy would shrink from,
and which the regulations of the society have al
ways forbidden. An ostentatious parade efts bene
fits is contrary both to its object and its spirit.
Your board have, therefore, invariably refrained in
their reports from directing attention to those who
from necessity have been constrained to avail them
selves of a privilege which, however cheerffilly eon.
ceded, is generally claimed with reluctance.
Since the last annual meeting the unsettled' state
of the country has rather created an apprehension
for the future than actually produced any. general
distress among the commercial classes, and It will '
be seen from the report of the treasurer thatthe de
mands for relief have been less than they have been
within the same perkal for thirteen years, previous.
Surprising as this fact may be, it is a matter of con
gratulation that of so large a number of mem
bers so few have been placed in the theneecy to
require assistance, and is an evidence of pros
parity and frugality.of those of our city engaged in.
mercantile. pursuits. Indeed, applications for re,.
lief have never been to the extent that might fairly
have - been - expected, or which would gladly have
been afforded. There appears to be a feeling of
delicacy or independence—a pride of character
among our mercantile community—that shrinks.
from any obligation that. cannot be reciprocated.
They may fail in business and break down under
the weight of adversity, but, i ts a
faith which. ap.
pears seldom to be shakeu, it is a ran calm that
they either apply for Charity or entirely yield
. to
despair.
Az an Illustration Of this, yonr board would' refer
to a single case in point.. , A worthy member of the
association who had, through misfortune, lost his
all, and whose means had been entirely exhausted,
with no friend to whom he could resort for aid, made
his condition known to the relief committee, and his
wants were promptly supplied. Although in good
standing as a contributor, It was evidently with
great reluctance that he accepted severalltundred
dollars from the fund. But it was to him the start.
lug point of a new life of promise and of hope, as fu
ture events bare demonstrated. With this small
capital in band, he broke loose from the bonds which
enthralled him, went forth with fresh vigor to battle
with the world and its conflicts, and is now again
marching In the ranks with those whom enterprise
and Industry have crowned with EILICCOht. Actuated
by a sense orogratitude, this gentlifman has; within
the last few months, not only voluntarily repaid
• every dollar he received, but added the interest to
the amount for the full time he had it in use. We
mention this es an abiding testimony of the honor
and generosity of the recipient, and the usefulness
of the Mercantile Beneficial Association.
The financial condition of the association, as ex
hibited by the accompanying statement of the
treasurer, presents a very satisfactory state of af
fairs. It will be seen that the receipts for the past
• fiecal year from annual dues, interest, ground rent,
&c., amount to three thousand and sixty-one dollars
and nineteen cents, and the total .amount in his
hands, including the sums invested by order of the
board, is seventeen thousand nine hundred and
thirty-four dollars and forty-four cents.
If the pecuniary condition of those associated
with us has been such, during the past year, as to
make it unnecessary to disburse only a portion of
the annual income, it must be a source of gratifi
cation to feel assured that the accumulation of the
fund is increasing the security for the future, when . .
the circumstances of oar members may be less for
tunate, againskany calamity which may overtake
them in the precarious channels of trade.
The permanent investments now held by the as
sociation consist of
First mortgages, well secured
Ground rents, do. do.

Since' last report forty-eight new members have
been added to the list, and nine transferred from
annual to life membership; There were. fifteen
deaths and seven resignations. There are at this
time seven hundred and thirty-two Ilfe, annual, and
honorary members. .
Death has numbered among its victims, since
last we met. some of our most influential and va
luable associates. Prominent amongst the number
Is John B. Myers, Esq., a warm, constant, and ac
tive friend and patron of this association. Ile was
one of the original projectors, and the first presi
dent of the society. From that time until the day
of his death, he ever manifested the deepest inte
rest in its welfare by his presence, his influence,
and his means. Immersed in the cares and respon
sibilities of a very extensive business, yet he was
always ready cheerfully to co-operate is any sinter
prise whether of a public or private nature, that
might promise to conduce to the general good of his
fellow-men. During the whole of his career Mr.
Myers was eminently distinguished for so much bu
siness capacity, honesty of purpose, and industry of
application, .that his wealth and his influence seem
ed but natural results, and although passed from
amongst tits commercial life will ever remain as
an illustration of all that was generous and just.
The loss of such a man cannot but be rewarded as a
public misfortune,
and his - long and intimate con
nection with this association demands that a pro
per token of respect for - his.memory should be of
fered.
Another of our members who departed this life
during the past year is Major General David B.
Barney, a gentleman whom we all respected for his
private virtues and his eminent abilities. Sacri
ficing a lucrative business and the comforts and
happiness of home and friends, he determined, when
the standard of rebellion was first raised, to devote
his whole life and all his energies to the cause of hts
beloved country, and the record he has left behind
him shows how faithfully he discharged pis sacred
duty. From the time he first entered the service he
braved every danger and was engaged in most of
- the important battles of the war. The proud repu
tation which he 'haw justly won by his unflinching
bravery, and his skill and efficiency as a cc mmander
in the army that is heroically struggling to subdue
this unrighteous rebellion, merit from us a tribute
to the memory of an honored citizen, a gallant sol
dier, and a pure, chivalric, self- sacrificing patriot.
This day the term of office of your present board
of managers expires, and with this report their
cfiicial duties will cease. If their administration
has been such as to further the interest of the asso
ciation, and has met the approval of its members,
they will be fully repaid for, what they have done,
and yield up their trust in the full conviction that
the more the design and usefulness of the society
is understood the more sully will it be cherished
and sustained. W. C..Lunwro, President.
After the reading of the report, the annual state
ment of the treasurer was read, when both were
unanimously approved.
William IL Bacon, Esq., offered the following
preamble and resolutions, which were adopted.
without a dissenting voice :
Whereas. This nation has now reached a crisis in its
history, when the shattered forces of rebellion may
either be crilehfd by the triumphant armies of the Re
public, and the hopes of sedition, revolution and sec
tional ambition be forever destroyed, or, on the other
hand, inspired by the display or misplaced
sympathy in the loyal ritatee, be induced to persevere
in the efforts to humble the National flag; and
-whereas, oir 'hopes, our interests and our feelingr as
merchants are all identified with the unity and indi
visibility of the Republic, under whose auspices oar
commerce has become world-wide, our manufactures
rival those of Europe in diversity and value, our agri
cultural staples are the dependence of millions ab.oad.
and our mineral products are unparalleled in richness
and quantity . ; therefore
Resolved, 'That we are earnestly and unqualifiedly
for thevigorous proseention of the war, fey the perpe
tufty of the Union, for the nationalizing of all our insti
tutions and interests, and opposed to a treacherous
Peace, wherein the prestige of the Republic shall-be humb led, humbled, and th'e way paved for an ultimate-renewal
of the conflict.
.Resolved, That as merchants we ask for no peace
which shall not be permanent, end that none can be so
which is not honorable to the Republic which has made
such immense sacrifices to vindicate its liberties and its
rights. -
Resolved, That every national interest of the Re
nt Wis. 'whether mercantile, industrial, or agrical tn
rat, demands that the result of this war shall be a final
termination of that internecine strife which has gene
rated so many crises in our own history, and so sadly
interrupted and interfered with our own peaceful pro
gress and development z.and that we enter our solemn
protest against anyeffort to patch up a hollow times or
a dishonorable peace. •
Resolved. That the losses we have suffered in our
business, in consequence of this war, admonish us that,
it is butte , , at any cost, to have the whole trouble car
ried to a final settlement now, than to 'leave any legacy
of renewed strife to our posterity, and that while we
did not seek this war, and deeply deplored it when it
did come, 'we accept Its burtheus. and remain trne to
the lessons it has taught us.
A short recess having;been taken, the meeting

that we are enabled to speak With as much posi
tiveness about the superiority of any mechanical in-.
strument aswe can about the Grover & Baker Sew
ing Machine. The work it performs is preferable to
any other, a fact which is well attested by the large
patronage now extended, to their Work Rooms, No.
730 Chestnut street. The wardrobes. madsup at
these popular stitohing rooms, for ladies and chil
dren, are unsurpassed in elegance and quality of
workmanship by any others in this'oity.
The splendid Opera Cloaks made on these ma

tracting the universal admiration of the ladles.
THE PRIOR OF GERMANTOWN WOOL.--IN our ar
ticle yesterday in reference to the Germantown
Wool advertised by Mr. John M. Finn, S. E. cor
ner of Seventh and Arch streets, we inadvertently
stated that the price of the article was frag twelve
to twenty cents per pound cheaper than German
zephyrs. We should have written "from twelve to
twenty cents per ounce cheaper," which would
make . it nearly three dollars per pound lower in
price than zephyr, a very considerable difference,
considering that for almost all uses it is quite as
valuable.
OUT OE THE WOODS.—The great struggle is over
at last, and ai the smoke of the ballotting battle
clears away Me result of the fight looms up in
greater distinctness. We opine that the result
