R'mgwalt, our former fcllow-towDsaian, and the whilom editor of the Mcnroe Democrat, for the delivery of two lectures, in this borough, on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, De .comber 3d & -1th, subject " The Plains rjnd the Rocky Mountains." The Major Uias traveled over and carefully examined the ground comprised in the Lectures, and as he is a gentleman of more than ordi nary ability and Leencess ot observation, we can safely promise, and the public as afcly expect, a literary treat, such as rwas never before, perhaps, afforded them. The Lectures will be illustrated by means .of twelve largo paintings 7 J by 13 feet, and numerous selections from eighty large colored views. There is no mere supposition as to the excellence of the -Lectures. They were delivered nightly, t crowded audiences, in one of the lar-'est hills in Philadelphia, for a. number ol i'ghts,rand received the warmest com mendations both of the press and gentle men of the fioejt literary perceptions, be longing to all parties and creeds. The Lectures are to le delivered under the :auptoe.4, and fur the benefit of the I'res byterian Church of this borough. W Jiope large crowds will gather to greet the 31 a j or.

The enterprising pub lishers, Messrs. F. A. Crandall & Jos. A cranton, deserve, and we are much mis aken if they do not receive, a most lib ral patronage. Such papers are an or nament to the town (we beg pardon city) in which they are published. The Grant Movement "We seo, by our exchanges, that a move ment in favor of General Grant, as the Republican candidate for the Presidency, is being organized in nearly every county in this State, and that the Republicans of other State3 are following in the same direction. Would it not be well for the Republicans of Monroe to give-the mat ter some consideration. The names of x-Gov. Curtin, Hon. Wm. D. Kelly, and the Hon. Galuiha A. Grow arc named in connection with the Vice-Presidency on the same ticket with Grant. With Grant for President and either of the gentlemen Dtmed for Vice-President, we could most cheerfully " fight it out on that line-," though it take's all winter and summer to boot. The Democracy nowhere take to Grant. They contend that Grant has no! sympathy with Radicalism, but they take it for granted that he will not suit them. Speer's Port Grape Wine. The mild character and superior tonic properties of the Port Grape Wine over those formerly used by physicians have de servedly created for it a ace in our sick rooms and hospitals.

Pater son Guardian. - Our drugisfc havc SOfnc of tIjI wjn Let us Organize. Republican brcthrcu, let us organize. The time to do so is now here. The re sult of the last election showed us the folly of going into and continuing in a contest hap-haazard; and the experience there obtained should teach us to wotk in the future. With a clear majority of 20,000 in the State, Judge Williams, one of the ablest jurists and best of men, was defeatid by a majority of less than one thousand defeated by fraud committed by our opponents, without a doubt but defeated far more by the lukewarmness of Republicans, who trusted to the per formance of duty by others while they neglected duty themselves. To have elected Judge Williams by "the mere skin of his teeth" when his majority should have rolled into thousands, would have been far more disgraceful than is his defeat, by the few paltry hundred? which the Sharswoodites obtained over him by fraud. Had the party been pro perly organized this could not havs hap pened, and the true friends of Uniou and the world over would have been hap py over the demonstrated fact for it is a fact nevertheless that the Keystone of the Federal Arch is impregnable to day, as it was in the dark days of the Government, against the inroads of Re bels and traitors, whether armed or un armed. In the past let us seek a promp ter for the future of our party; and let us resolve that General Apathy shall no longer command our forces. Let ua com pel him to abdicate at once, and, uniting under Grant, or some other equally ener getic leader, gather our scattered forces and conceutrate for the mighty stru of 18G8. If we do not do so, there is no thing more certain than that the princi pies which -govern Vallandigham, Jeff Davis, Reed, Lee, Woodward, Toombs Wall and Ingersoll, are the principles which will govern "the country for the next four years. For the proof of disor ganization which prevailed in the party .1.. uuiiul; me ijm, campaign, we need not ro beyond our own county. In this county we can easily poll eight hundred Repub lican votes, and, with energetic exertion could swell the vote to one thousand when, in fact, we hardly polled half that number. Properly and energetically or p.au.icu s n .-aiijr, we wouiu not nave had this result to reproach ourselves with uui now Mian we organizer mis 19 a question easily answered, and as easily tarried into effect affirmatively. First let cvtry Republican resolve himself into a committee of one, and, as such, in hi leisure moment?, do his duty faithfully Ta.k to your lukewarm neighbor; and after thoroughly posting yourself by reading your county parer, and such oth er papers and documents as come in your way, don t hesitate to tackle even those who are most strenuous in their opposi tion. lhe strongest points in the ene my's creed cannot stand before the with ering torch of plain Republican truth. The Record of Democracy for the last six years is a record of infamy, which needs but to be made plain to the people to be looked upon with abhorrence. The mass of the Democracy is honest, and need to know but the truth to induce them to live under and act up to it. The leaders of Democracy know this, and hence their zeal to keep the truth -away irom inose wnom they deceive or to so encompass it with the sophistries of declamation, that men who are not posted become coufused, and are induced to con tinue on in the old way, because they do not sec that Democracy, that stalwart word of ancient renown, is only the sugar coating, employed to cloak the wicfed in ventious ot the political demagogue. An energetic" Republican committee of one, in each township, can do wonders in the way of opening the eyes of his neighbors to the truth, if he will but rationally eet about the matter. Rut where three, or a dozen or more, of such exist in a township, how much may reasonably be expected from earnest heartfelt work? Let these meet, often as may be conveni ent, in consultation as to the best means of securing the end, and it will not be long ere one, and then another, and then another will fall into line, until at last you will be surprised yourselves at the success of your work. It is iu this way ihat the political standing of townships are revolutionize!, and with such labor properly inaugurated in it, we should not be surprised ere many years to see even Middle Smithfield, the very South Caro ina of our townships (we are now almost inclined to beg pardon of that now loyal utej, noted as among the foremost for its heavy Republican majorities. Aoother means of securing organiza tion, is the circulation of your county pa per, and Republican documents general ly. Above all, however, should your party organ for the county meet your ear nest support not in your personal sub scription and prompt payment merely, but alao in your earnest efforts to secure the subscription of others, so that a',1 may read it, and iu the securing for it of ex tended jobbing and advertising patron age. The Democracy underhand the benefit of this kind of organization thor oughly, and leave no stone unturned which promises to increase the usefulness of its organ and the personal profit of its editor. - As the profits of tho latter in crease, the facilities for furnishing a pa per fully up to the times are offered, and "reater usefulness to the cause se cured. As it is in this respect with the Democratic organ and its editor, so also should it oewith the Republican organ and its editor, with jhis marked differ ence that while in the former it aids in the promulgation of those pubnicious principles which led to Rebellion and well nigh ruined the country, in the latter it helps disseminato those glorious prin ciples which conquered Rebellion, and is now establishing the Union, the Coosti tution jiud the Laws on a basis impreg- nably permanent. Ry securing a Demo cratic subscriber to your party organ, you secure a reader who may be convinced 0 his error and become a Republican voter while at the same time you give such aid to your editor as will certainly end in se curing a sheet of which no one need fee ashamed. As auxiliary to these means of thor ough organization consultation with your brethren of other sections of the county as well of other counties will prove 0 great service. Ry so doing, advice and experience will be exchanged, a perfect system will be secured, and ail be strength ened for a more faithful performance 0 duty. Rrethren, as you love your coun try, and the glorious principles ot your party, which past experience conclusively show can alone sustain it, we conjure you to think seriously upon these suggestions and act upon them at once. Now is the time to bigio. We observe that quite a number of our Republican contemporaries are urging Gen. James L. Sclfridge, late Revenue Collector for this District, for the office of Clerk of the House of Representatives at Harnsburg, this winter. A better man for the position could not be select ed, and we hope to have it in our power upon the organization of the Legislature to announce his election. Gen. Selfridg besides fitness, has pecular claims upon the dominant party in the House. He entered the army upon the first call fjj three month men, and continued with it without interruption, until the last rebe had surrendered; participating in many hard fought battle, and always perform ing his duty as became the thorough so dier, and the ardent patriot. So we did he perform his part, that though he entered the service in a subordinate po sition, we believe a private, he left the army a full Rrigadier, having been pro moted step by step, solely on account 0 his merit. The man who could gain and maintain the friendship and commenda t:ou of such a mau as Gen. Sherman, un der whom he served, as Gen. Self ri J did, must have made no slight mark in the grand march of armies. On retirin from the army Geo. Selfridge was ap fainted Collector of Internal Revenue for this District, but was too much of a'pat riot to suit the Johnson die-nasty. He was too mu.ch of a patriot to allow self to becloud country too much of a man to sell manhood for a mess of political pot tage. lie refused a command in the " Rread and Ruttcr Rrigade," and, not withstanding he had the warm persona support of Gen. Sherman, and others like him, before the Departments, he must needs be punished for his unbending pat rioiisiu. j. iic aaministration required - a rw-i 1 ". supple tools in its subordinate positions Gen. bclfndge did not belong to that class, and he was removed to make room for one who did, and Daniel II. Xeiman a rank Copperhead during the war, aud who had not yet lost his reptile instincts was appointed in his stead. In view o these facts we submit that his elevation to the Clerkship by a Republican House of Representatives would be peculiarly fitting, and in evry respect well suited to the times. It will not be necessary for us to vouch for the honesty of his Repub icanism. The man who cheerfully pre erred to sacrifice a lucrative office, rather than to even pretend to strike hands with Johnson's treachery, needs no index to show his position. A True Balsam. Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry fs truly a Balsam. It contain the balsamic principle of the Wild Cherry, the taUamic properties of tar and ol pine. Its ingrcdi ents are all balsamic.

This time the property lies in Holland, and consist of large tracts of land, bondd, bank stock, railroad se curities, &c., worth from $35,000,000 to 845,000,000. It is known as the Zim uermel estate and is claimed by a nume rous tribe of Pennsylvania Dutch, who are to hold a meeting this week at Read jog, Pa , which it is expected that several hundred claimants will be present. " The Death of Radicalism." THE ELECTIONS. Under this heading our Democratic and Conservative cotemporaries, are now ctting off their largest squibs - litterally playing w big Ingen," in the strength of their whoops, because they have , man aged to carry a State or two. They hoped or still; more, in the grand results,1 and ud, doubtless, prepared their huzzas with that view; but as only small favors fell into their nets, and as they fear another year may restore the old order of things, and leave them no favors' at all; they. doubtless, feel that they had better howl now while they have a chance and howl they do most lustily. Rut they w never more mistaken in their lives, thau in the supposition that Radicalism is dead. Radicalism, it is true, was caught napping lulled by the consciousness of its great strength, but Radicalism is not dead, aud cannot die. It has a great and glorious mission to accomplish, and it will accom plish it as certainly as that daylight and darkness continue to alternate on the face of the earth. It is yet to be demonstrat ed to the world that the immortal Decla ration of Independence is not a mass of " glittering generalities," and Radicalism must demonstrate the fact, and will de monstrate it. In the hands of Dcmoc racy, instead of the fact being made more and more apparent that the precepts 0 the Declaration were not mere dogmas but living principles, each succeeding year but strengthened the belief that, by the mass of our people at least, they were looked upon only as so much tinsel, and fit and intended only to be employed as to benefit the few office-holders and aspi rants to office, at the expense of the peo pie. So much so, was this the case that an almost continued management 5? the affairs of the country by the Democratic party leaders, for over three score years was, by the inherent corruptions, and dis honest practices of that party, compelled to culminate in the most gigantic c war the world ever witnessed. To this end Democracy brought us, and the world now looks to Radicalism, as the party which rescued us from the danger, to give living tangible proof that our Decla ration of the right and capacity of man for self-government is not a flaunting lie And Radicalism will do it. Radicalism will not always sleep. Rut what is the result over which Democrats and Lonscrvatives crow so loudly; and from which they prophecy the death of Radicalism: They carried California, because of a split in the Republican party, on a sinal tote on the part of the Republicans growing out of the apathy caused by that split. They carried Connecticut, in part, be cause of local issues, which will probably never again be up in an election in that State. They carried Kentuckey, as it was right and proper they should, because of its more than questionable loyalty duriug the war, and because every rebel soldier was permitted to vote, aud all voted, where their affinities lay, with the Demo crat?. They carried Pennnsylvania, because some forty thousand Republican voters remained at home, while only some twen ty thousand Democrats followed the per nicious example; and even then they carried it by less than one thousaud ma jority, with all their lying and known fraud. They have the Judge, we the Legislature. They have carried Xcw York by 10,- OUU or lo.OUO maiontv. onlv because r New York City gave the Democracy some OU,UUO majority, wherein, it is known that, at least 25,000 forged naturaliza tion papers were issued. I hey have carried "Maryland, my Ma rviauu, as me reoeis usea 10 sing bo lustily, because the rebel armies arc dis !.-! .t ll ti- uanueu, ana me rcoei soioiers are nain at home to aid those who so generally aided and comforted them whilo thev. under Lee, and Johnston and Jeff. Davis were fighting for the destruction of the government. W here such men have their homes aud have free scope Democracy ana lyonscrvalivcistn arc alwavs sure to flourish. They carried New Jersey, on a lejrisla- tive ticket merely, because as in Penn sylvania apathy controlled the Rcpubli cans and kept them from working as they should havc done. This is all they have done, however, and they have nothing in mis to give mem cause Tor crowing. An- other year will bring forth issues too im- portant to be trammelled with mere local issues, wheta California and Connecticut. and i'ennsvlvania. and New York and INew Jersey will again wheel into line. and side by side, with Maine, New Hamp shire, Massachusetts, Rhode Isiand, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Wis consm, Kansas, INcbraska, Colorado, Ten nessee, Missouri, and the rest of the States form an invulnerable phalanx against the inroads of all the isms that can possibly be joined to stay the onward march ol progressive Republicanism. The divergence of California, Connec ticut, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, even on local issues is to be regretted, but there is nothing in it to discourage. The mass of the peonle are oyal and honest, and knowing that the salvation of the country can only be work ed out by Radicalism, they will eee that 1 be not killed.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., Nov. 12 -Neal Dcvany, a young Irishman, was to day executed for the murder of his wife in July last at Hazelton. Dcvany had, form ed an illicit intimacy with another woman and murdered his wife in order to. marry tne lormer. i7evany made a lull confes sion to his jailor last night. The facts it coutains are similar to those developed at the triaK He.says that after he shot his wife in the breast, she would have es caped had he not immediately grappled her and cut her throat, lie maintains he alone committed the deed. He as signs the cause of the crime to havc been the keeping or company with otner wo men, lie now expresses regret for doing it, hopes to be lorgiveo, aud says ne is prepared to die at any moment. He re tired at 9 o clock last night, sleeping soundly till 4 this morning. At noon Devany left his cell, accompanied by four Catholic elcrgymen. On the scaffold he confessed himself guilty and forgave the iudi;e, jury aud sheriffs At 1 o'clock the drop fell and the convict died almost in stantly. Over 500 persons witnessed the execution. Iwenty minutes later the body was cut down and delivered to the friends of the deceased for burial. The Grazing Country of Texas, Some few weeks ago the editor of the ban , Autonto ( iexas) Express treated himself to a day's ride through the "stock country. lie descnocs what he saw as lollows : The continual ' rains during the sum mer have kept the prairies beautiful green so that from the very cd;e of the town commences a hoc cattle range., Takin a due south course, following within few miles of the San Antonoi river, whose meandering can be distiucitly traced by the dark green of its pecan trees, we cross ed the Medina a few miles above its cotiflu ence with the above-named river. here we crossed this ancient stream it3 waters arc not perfectly clear, but col ored by the soil which forms its banks composed largely of clay which woul make splendid bricks. Our destination being the Rarcgas, we left the longer and better road, which follows the San Antouio, to take a short cut through the post-oaks and saud. For six miles we travelled throuli a thickly wooded district of post-oak, black-jack aud hickory-trees. The hickory nut crop is quite heavy this season. Although there seemed to be nothing but sand, the 1 grass grew as in 11 as a m;in s head, aud of a fine quality, and acres upon acres o wild indigo on each side of our road. We saw a great many cattle through the post-oaks, all fine, fat large- animals Just upon getting over the sandy road we came to Mr. Shelley s ranch. He ha made hogs a speciality, and his droves ol pork were visible in all directions ; they fatten on the abundant mast, and make the finest meat of the kind in the world. In conversation with Mr. Shelley he ac knowledged to livinga lazy life, thatin cul tivating his corn patch he'did not give it one-tenth the attention the work which ho had in Kentucky, and that Texas was the ersicst country to live in the world.

New Counterfeit. Washington, Nov. 11. During sever al days past a number of spurious twenty five cent notes have been put in circula tion. They are the best executed of this denomination yet manufactured, and are calculated to deceive the most careful money takers. The bogus currency may be known by the paper being a trifle thicker than tho geuuine, and the green on the back a trifle lighter. The vignet te of Fessenden is at first glance fully a correct as that of the genuine, but a close scrutiny shows that it is a good wood cut, and not a steel enzravin?. The officers of the Washington Nation al Monument Association arc about to ap peal to Cougress and the Country for funds to fiuish the unsightly and crumb ling pile so unfortunately located iu a swampy part of that city. Uuless the management has changed hands for the better, we hope tley will not get a dollar. This project has been cursed with a set of thievish knaves from its commence ment, many of whom, including their Judas, decamped to the Rebels at the outbreak of the Rebellion, carrying with them all available funds. The founda tion of the monument is insecure, and to waste tnorc money, upon it, or to.ecn in une quarters ana in ITood livin a set ol supernumeraries at the expense of the benevolent, is taking disgracoful advau tage of the generous devotion of the peo pie to the memory of the "Father of his country.
