Hon.--Andrew G. Curtin for Groyernor, and Hon. Daniel Agnew,' of Beaver county, as Judge of the Supreme Court. While it was thus to ratify .their nomination, -the main purpose of the assemblage seethed! to be °a serenade 'to - Governor Curtin, A, splendid band-of music wasin,attendanc.e, -and after the.serenade was ended, lov. Curtin appear eclio address .the crowd. His appearance was the signal of great enthusiasta A particu lary among the soldiers, of whom large numbers were- present from the' different camps surrounding this city. After order • was restored, Governor Ourtinnddressed the Crowd substantially_as follows: I am much obliged. to you for this expres , lion in favor of my nomination by . , the con vention which assembled in Pittsburg yes terday; and I take the occasion to signify my acceptance of that nomination.. [lm mense applause.] It _has.long been the,cus ; - tom hi Pennsylvania to brin,geandidates for official position before the public, hy,- means of such representative bodies ; and. in this 'instance thereare circumstancessurrounding And connected with the election of delegates - and the action of the convention. 'which I faql are highly flatteringme:' - /laving administered the Executive Gov ernment of Pennsylvania for, • nearly three years, in times of great public excitement and distress, my course has been strictly ob served, and all (raayncts have been, subjected „to the SeveresSc tieism. In the coming canvass and ele , they arc to be submit -led to candid and generous people; upon their verdict I confidently rely, knowing that it•is beyond appeal. [A voice: "Go in Andy ; you are bound to Win P'] . 'But,'rny fellow-citizens, the .Adloinistra • Con of the goi-ernment of Pennsylvania sighsinto insignificance when compared with tle greatstruggle in which_ we are, !engaged for r th . e vindication and supremacy -of the National Governmenta struggle which in volves the preservation of the national life itself, it is at ouragovernment, my friends, the - blows of the rebellion are all aimed. They Would overthrow that great system of • = human freedom which lies at the foundation of our national structure, that noble idea which struggled into life in the Revolution, -irrid'which found shape and form in the De c laratien 0" Independence, as it proclaimed to the world the equality of man hiscapacity for self government. For such a govern ment, its founders passed through their or deal of blood and self-sacrifice. and .handed it down - to us with the teaching; of the - apostles of liberty in that age. They gave ,a National Government with all the at tributes of power and independent nationali ty, and within which the powers reserved to the States are so well defined and in such parte c t harmony, that there can be no eon- Aid of authority where properly understood aid honestly administered. In times of profound peace. the theories Which', would set up State, authority ; against the power of the National Government might be regarded as the dreams of the visionary; but now, wherran armed rebellion is striking at the very citadel of the National fabric,— the assertion of rights to States which con , ilia with the powers dedicated to the Fede raj Government, or obstruct the execution of the laws by. the President—its visible head ;---must be regarded as an insanity; second only, to that which influences those in armed ,rebollion, and as giving them aid, sympathy, - and comfort in their treasonable purposes. • - The people of Pennsylvania, with t'ew ex ceptions: have, as yet, ; been steadfast in their fidelity to ,the Government. [Applause.] We have given our wealth freely when called Upon, and have niore than answered all re qturementa made upon us in contributions of . our people to swell the ranks of the - National armies; and I feel, this night, I have a right to' ay that in the past two years and a half awn eventful history, the administration of thegooernment in Pennsylvania has been in Iperfect harmony with the sentiment of our loyal _people. [A voice "That's so," and im mense applause.] this is not a time, my friends, to differ as to men, or to stand in the way of the full - execution of all the legitimate powers con- Jerred,upon the President, by the Constitu .ltion, and, the law ; and I pledge - myself, as 'heretofore, to give to the Government of the United States an active and constant support, and to maintain its authority and the:execu tion Of its laws Within the State of Pennsyl vania, with all the powers given to the Exec utive offleelor that purpose. [Cheers.] Every Pennsylvania freeman who lies suf fered martyrdom in the support' and defenCe Of Our Governtrient, and .every wounded and -maimed hero returned to our midst treat the 'battle field, strengthens the ties which binds WI to it, and increases our obligation to pros aerate this war to a perfect and successful ter Mination. Until then we have not performed our-duty to the living nor the dead, nor Shall Our trust to those who are to follow us have been fulfilled; nor our obligations to' those who have lived before us been discharged until treason and rebellion are driven from this hitherto prosperous and happy cduatry. [Cheeri.] There is -nothing on this earth; in the works of nature or art,, which can compare with the sublimity of the struggle of this great people to maintain their Government; • and all our sympathies and all, our, means, if necessary, should be given to the comfort and 1 Support of the brave men who stand in 'arms in defence of our free' institutions. [,p plauSe.] They are there subject to the, con trol of-military authority - , and we have en couraged them to go;.- they are, restrained . *id-controlled by the needful rigors Of mill tary.diseipline; they are exposed to the tri obi and vicissitudes of actual war; and every word, thought or act which would either' take from their efficiency, withhold, from them proper supplies, distract or divide pub lic opinion, or, worse than all, discourage the means by which the Government would re plenish their diminished ranks, is treason and ingratitude to them, the besfand bravest .of our fellow citizens. [Great applause.] ,I-rejoice my fellow citizens, that the_ eon vcitt.ion which phteed me in nomination has , di Mired in favor of an amendment to the Constitution • by which the citizens of the State teparated from it and in arms fOr their country, shall enjoy the - right of suffrage. Sttrely they have shown by their presence in the field, the highest and noblest exhibition of Viya/ty and fidelity, and should be per mitted,- wherever they are found, thus to exercise a. right, held so sacred by the -Amer jcan citizen, underlying; as it does, all the operations of our Government. kfaving accepted thelziominatierr, I will make an open and vigoreus contest for suc cosir,..and will treat featly_ the distinguished gentleman who has been placed in nominu- tion as our Opposing candidate-by the politi cal organization -to which he 'is -attached— I 'would not •succeed' by assaults upon his personal character, nor would I have ray friends conduct the contest with defamation and detraction for their allies; neither that candidate nor myself can claim any peculiar fitness over very many of our fellow citizens; but we are made the representatives of oppo site policies, measures and opinions.' For myself, relying upon the right and truth, I expect to prevail in this election. For this end,l will use all honorable and fair means, an will give to the canvass, my active; un failing and determined exertions. [Applause, ,A voice, "Go in old man; the soldiers' are with you." 3 I-would not conceal my gratification at the presence, here, to-night, of'a large num ber of 'the volunteer soldiers of Penns nia, and the pride I feel at the col manifestations of their confidence ant 'spect. [A voice--"We intend' to be al ballot box."J lily relations with yet your' brother soldiers for more than eventful years have always been pier and no man in Pennsylvania, whethi official position or private citizen, has highly regarded and esteemed you for patience, constancy and courage.

[Great applause.] twErmsratemj TEIE TRIBUNE PRIZE STEAMIER . RIES. • HOW THEY ORIGINATED-HOW THEY AND TASTE-WHY THEY ABE GIVE] THE SUBSCRIBER'S OF THE. TRIM' WHEN AND TO '4 ROM TREY ,WIL, DISTRIBUTED. The cuts in our show bills represent ' Tribune prize' Strawberries"—so ni because we' purchased them, at a very price, to bestow exclusively upon the scribers of either edition of The Tribune 186$, intending to send one of each kir every subscriber who expresses a wish that effect:at the time of subscribing. This will be _equal:: to a prize of $1 50 to,each subscriber, as that is the price charged by nurserymen for' similar plants. indeed, neither of: these prize Strawberies could - be obtained at any price whatever, as we have secured e very plant that can - be produced in the year 1863, exclusively , as prizes to our subscribers. We have incurred the large outlay necessary for this purpose, because we had an earnest desire to see thepropagation of improved fruitgreatly extended, and because we believe: that every one who receives these plants and grows the fruit will hold The Tribune in kindly remembrance for enabling him to enjoy such a good gift of a kind rroVidence, and will thereafter feel an k in.: creased desire to improve all the list of fruits. It is thus that health and happiness will be increased. - - As these plants have all to be grown from the few plants that we bought- of Mr. Fuller in the Autumn of 1862, he will not be able to send them to subscribers until after the Ist of September, 1863, when they will be carefully packed in oiled silk or paper, and forwarded, through the mail, at our expense or by express at expense of the receiver. The three plants will be sent to each person who sends to us a , year's subscription for. either the Daily. Semi-Weekly, or Weekly Tribune, indicating at the time of subscrib ing that they desire the. Strawberries, and the distribution will be made in the order the subscribers' names and request for Straw berries are received. - Single subscribers will receive their plants_ by mail, dope up in oiled silk, or other suita ble oiled substance. ' To Clubs, plants will be sent in packages, to correspond - with the number of names. in the Club ; and where • the number will war rant it, they will be . sent by express, packed in boxes. - New , subscribers who desire strawberry plants should say so at the time they Send their money, as we do not intend to Send any to those who will not appreciate thorn. They are too valuable to be wasted. There ,ate parties whQ would gladly contract for t • elusive right to all thes• nts, at 2o cent• a piec ; ; e many subscribers who would not, as soon as they see and taste the fruit, part with their prize for a $5 " greenback.'•' HOW THESE .NEW STRAWBERRIES WERE PRO- DUCED The following statement is made by An drew S. Fuller, horticulturist, Brooklyn, the originator of these strawberries. Be says "It is now between seven'and eight years since I commenced sowing seeds of the straw- e berry for the purpose of producing new and! improved varieties. I have always selected' seeds from tho largest and best that could be' obtained, and the results were that I produc-. ed some few good varieties each season; yet they were not such as I was Willing should go.out as my seedlings . Every season I se lected the seed with more care than I did, the previous one, and found that I made: constant improvement. I therefore deter mined that I would put forth extra exertions and see if a few choice varieties could not be produced. In 1859 I obtained the best varie ties known, and by fertilizing the flowers one with another, 'I expected to produce ; strawberries combining greater excellence than heretofroe known. In this I was not disappointed. I produced that year many thousand of seedling plants, and the fruit of many was really excellent, so much so that I was urged not to throw the plants away; but as excellence, and not variety, was my oh ject,'l destroyed 'all but the most promising. I determined from the first that no plant should go out a seedling of - mine unless it 'combined greater excellence than any 'other strawberry known. From the selections of that year competent Committees from the, Farmers' Club- - of the American Institute, who. had the matter three years in charge. made a selection of three sorts, ripening ear ly, Medium and late, and these I preserved as the firm] result of my seven years labori ous - experiments to procure improvement in strawberrie.s from seeds. These I intended I to dispose of in the ordinary way of a nur, seryinan's business, and should have done so but for the desire of The Tribune Associa tion to make a gratuitous distribution of these truly excellent .strawberries to their, subscribers. I have therefore contracted to, furnish them exclusively for that purpose.: Not one of them can be bought of me at any price. If I had - kept them for sale to indi viduals the-price would have been 50 cents each or $5 a dozen. -' 'AbIKS AND DDSCIMPTIONB OF TU PRIZE STRAWI3ERBIIES, 4 , The earliest ripening ono was named CoL.
