If the Republicans of Pennsylvania are
apathetic and indiffer,4 the Democrats
are not. Never were they more vigilant
and laborious than / at this very moment.
If hard and prilstent 'work will give
them • the crown of victory in October,
they mearyt / o win and wear it. True,
they arnot making an active campaign,
in the,ordiniwy meaning of that term; nor
do they intend to niake such an one un
le,forced. into it, by movements on the
'Republican side. They believe their
chances to be better with a "still hunt , t
than with , a "loud" hunt. For many
years pait they have joined in well de
fined issues, have gone before the people,
with all the powers of argumentation
and appeal they could master, and hav
been beaten at , all points. Repeated del
feats have not 'only taught them caution, i
but have dictated the employment of a
different strategy. -
They are aware that the Republicans,
in a certain sense, are sated with victories,
and lulled, by over confidence, that their
ascendancy, cannot be shaken. These
are both delusive and perilous states of
mind for individuals or parties, charged
in any manner with high missions, to I
fall into. While they remain therein,
they are, with comparative ease, taken at
disadvantage and overcome.
Nor is the only danger which has
arisen from the multiplied and brilliant
triumphs of the Republicans. While they
have indicated in the sight of all men the
great elementary ideas which gave them
their distinction, they have, through the
propitious orderings of Providence, been
enabled to go much farther than they had
faith originally to propose or conceive
possible. As they advanced, unexpected
doors were opened before them. Even
the difficnities and dangers they were
called to confront, and which arose out of
the very earth on which they stood, con
tributed both to their hardihood to dare
and to their strength to achieve. Mean
time, the domination they attained, pro
duced heart-burnings and alienations
among them. If party ambitions were
gratified, individual aspirations were
often left unsatisfied. In the divisions of
the honors and emoluments consequent on
victories, it was simply impossible to
meet the wishes and expectations of all,
and hence innumerable disappointments

The Republicans of the State cannot
afford at this crisis to lose the Governor
and the Imiance of power in the Supreme'
Court. Importaht measures remain to
be consummated, and vital principles to
be established by judicial decrees.
A - year from next winter tha State will
have to be divided into Congressional
and Legislative districts. To surrender
this power into the hands of the Demo.
crate, will be to remit the State into their
possession, to be wrenched away again
only by pfodigious outlays of time and
effort.

play this littlegame, hoping to humbug

the temporary selection of the Erie gen
tleman, whom the Pittsburgh Poat ex
pressively eulogizes, in its certificate that
Gen. CASs "had no more active opponent
before the Convention than Mr. Gal

THE Philadelphia Age remembers that
"HENRY W. Wn.m.e‘fds,.the Radical can
didate for Judge.of the Supreme Coast,
was the leader. of the Allegheny county
repudiators, the 'open advocate of that
Radical schente." The Age should •not
trust to a, memory so treacherous. , Its
specific accusation, has been . heretofore
made, by a bitteropposition, against an
otherzentleman, a citizen of this county,
of the same name. and lately, tilt not
now, in public life; :but ;ever
,before
against the Judge. The Age confounding
the two'gentleme.n, errs front ranch igno
rance and still more recklessness. The
Pittsburgh Post, which repeats the slan
der, although it may be presumed to know
the truth, has yielded simply to another
proclivity, which it is *holly needless to
specify. Will either.of the two journals
correct its misstatement ?
WE QUOTE from the little speech o
Hon. ASA PACKER at Philadelphia:
“I will endeavor to do my part to lead
you, as you.have placed me in the van,
to victory, if possible—and if not. I ant
certain the defeat shalt not be attributable
to a Zack of anything that /can do. (Ap
plause and cheering.) -
• 4, You will excuse me froth - making a
speech at this time, for talking Is not a
part of my vocation. (Applause.) There
are those whose vocation and calling it Is
to tack: mine is to work! (Voices, sogood,
good; ihat'a what we want,” and cheering.)
I MI/leave the talking for those whose
forte it is, and will endeavor, foc myself,
to do my share of the work." .
There is a charmingly simple frankness
in these revelations. The candidate is
conscious of his inability- to make set
speeches, but how significantly he pledges
himself to anoier . form of usefulness!
There "shall be no lack of anything he
can do," and he means "to do his share."
And "thatt,s what we want," howled the
hungry wolves about him! He can't talk,
he can't write, but he can buy the Democ
racy, body `and' soul! The people will
see about this.

character and general prosperity of the

It is quite likely that Mr. Ranter is re

you, an those who are supporting you

CITY AND SUBURBAN:
Interesting Religious Ceremonies—Lay
ing of the Corner-Stone of the John
Wesley Chapel, Allegheny.
On Sunday afternoon last, at half past
two o'clock, a very interesting religious
ceremony was held-in Allegheny on the
occasion of the laying of the corner-stone
of the new John Weiley Chapel on Por
ter alley, between Roberts and Arthurs
streets. Among the distinguished cler
gymen present were P.ev. Bishop Lo
gum°, Rev. Dr. D. B. Matthews, Rev. Dr.
N. H. Williams and other well known
and zealous divines. Dr. Matthews
preached the sermon of the occasion from
Ist Peter. 2d chap., 6th verse: "Behold
I lay in Dort a chief corner -stone, elect,
precious; and he - that believeth on him
shall not be confounded." The elo
quence and beauty of the sermon im
pressed all with the high ability, culture
and zeal of the gifted preacher. The ad
dress occupied an hour and a quarter in
its delivery, and was listened to with
marked attention by the - vat audience
present, and left a deep impression on
all who heard it. At the conclusion
of the sermon a collection was
taken up, and old and young, white
and colored, generously contributed.
An imposing procession was then
formed, tbe four old trustees of the
church leading. the members of the Con
ference, the Rev. Bishop and clergy Yel
lowing, singing under the direction of
Rey. Dr. Williams an appropriate hymn.
As the place was reached the stone was
filled with rare and valuable coins and
Other historical documents when it was
sealed and set to place. Theßishop then
made a beautiful and eloquent address,
after which prayer and benediction fol.
lowed and the great concourse separated
for their homes.
-The site of the chipel has been par.
tially occupied by a rather old structure
capable of accommodating perhaps sev
eral hundi•ed people. Owing to the in
crease in the 06bgregatiozi, it has been
found necessary to erect an addition to
thy building, which will probably make
its capacity twice as great as it is now.
The liberality evinced in the contribu
tion of the necessary funds for the build
ing purposes is very creditable to the
colored people. The lot upon which the
addition will be erected was the property
of the congregation from the first. The
work will be pushed forward with all
the expedition possible, and in a fay
mouths the congregation - wilt doubtless
have a place of worship which, for neat
ness and accommodation, will compare
favorably with any in this vi4nity.
A Romance Condensed.
On the sultry afternoon of June 25th,
1869, when the sun was obscured by the
smoke from the Point, a solitary police
man might have been seen walking his
beat along Market street, towards Water
street, st which point were congregated
two women and one man, engaged in
loud and boisterous conversation. The
females attempted to settle the difficulty
by a fight, when the man interfered,
whereupon the polioeman, whom we
shall call Garrison ' arrested the trio and
conducted them to the watchhouse,
where we learned the cause of the diffi
culty to be as follows: The names of the
parties arrested were Harvey. Morgan,
Mary Morgan and Hannah Leslie. It is
alleged that about nine yearssince when
Harvey was a youth of twenty •five sum,
mere, he met In Wales, the country of .
his birth, Mary, of whom he became
enamored, and who in due time became
his wife, ne promising to love, , cherish
protect, land cling to her through
sickness and in health. After fonr•years
of wedded bliss, Harvey concluded to
come to America to try his fortunes,
promising to send for Mary as soon as he
had located himself on this side of the
fish pond. Here. Mary's story, so far es
her personal knowledge extends, closes
for the present. On, arriving in tale clty
Harvey met Hannah Leslie, the sight of
'name bewitching face caused him to
forget Mary.> who was in Wales, and
transfer his protection. to the charming
Hannah. with whom ho . his resided un
til the present time. A short time since
they emigrated to Ohio, but returned re
cently. During their , absence from.the
city, Mary being unable to obtain intellt.
gence from her husband, came across ch i ,
water in search of him and met him for
the first time in company with Hannah,
at the place mentioned. It appeared
from what we could learn of the affair,
that Harvey and Hannah had household
goods worth several hundred dollars,
which Mary was desirous of obtaining
possession of. The parties deposited 525
each for • their appearance this morning,
when there will probably be a sequel to
this story, if not another side.
Subsequently information was, made
before Alderman Thomas against Mor
gan for desertion, and Hannah for forni
cation, by their opponent, upon which
they were arrested and locked up-fora
bearing. It le said they intended leav
ing the city, their money, and , sorrows,
here for a more congenial olime,,when
their expectations wersenddenly aipped
by this last cruel turn Of fate.
