saying that no change has taken place
in hisown jadgment nor in that of Capt.

together with the gifts of nature and
the blessings of Providence, have indeed
made us\t mighty and a prosperous na
tion. If we could hut. know how much
we owe to these causes, the anstivtesary
of the day on which our free system
was - inaugurated would be hallowed in
all heat•ts except those which are wholly
"regardless of social duty and fatally
bent on doing mischief."
It is, however, upon our own great
State, that the bounties of the Creator
have been most profusely lavi-hed.—
Situated in the happy medium between
the inane (Ohl of the northern winters
and the exhausting heat of the F l ollthern
summers, she has a climate where more
labor eau be done with less fatigue than
anywhere else on the Westevi conti

is tilled with inexhaustible treasures,
and her fields teem with Unbounded
fertility. The mountain and the flood
—the golden grain that waves on every
hill side and the rich fruits that thish
on every tree—form a combint nof
hweliness and grandeur the
dweller in other lands can -scarcely
dream of— •
" Which his eye must see,
To know how beautiful this world can he." .
The people of Pennsylvania were
meant to be .worthy of the favored
region they inhabit. They derive their
lineage front the purest sources of all
that is great in modern civilization._
The impalsive ardor of the Irish—the
steady perseverance of the English—
the Witty caution of the Scotch—all
these mingle gracefully with the solid
sense, patient industry, and immovable
honesty of the German character,
which forms the broad basis of the
whole. They have ever been the first
to see a great political trath--and seein: ,

These qualities tit them well tishe what
they always have been, the arbitrators
between the impetuousity of the South,
and the superstitions which prevail
itt many parts of New England.
With 'such a population, and with
such a soil, climate and productions,
the State needs nothing but a Govern
ment tolerably well administered, to
make her•the envy and admiration of
the world. It is `surprising that such
is not stlways the ease. But the recent
legislation, like that which humbled and
disgraced Us twenty-one years a ! so,

In the day of trial, and in the hour ~r

The Harrisburg convention has pre
sented to the pi. , ople candidates every
way worthy of support. I speak from
personal knowledge when I say that
General Packer is a wine, experienced,
energetic and discreet statesman. It
is satZi to say that his administration

Democrats, corruption will be
driven from the (;apical, and the wages

All these gentlemen aro of spotless
character, enlarged experience and de

' positions for which they are candidates.
They are the legitimate choice of the
party—and thus they are your choice
and mine—mine in a special manner, be

It breaks down the harriers raised by
tyranny, and fraternizes eitizens so

In doing this it eommands ns to sac
rifice our personal preferences, to lay
all minor differences on the altar of
our country's greatness, to stly--"eecry-
Ming for the party—n(4laq for t a rn."
No num is a trite Dettnierat who will
oppose the party. Ile who fails to give

that Pennsylvania has so often shone
conspicuous in the constellation of Re
publican sovereignties. This was the
means by which she made Jeiferson
President and discarded British infla
olive, by which she made Jackson Pro
idrnt and purged the country of usurp
ers, by whieb she made Buell:man Pres
ident and saved the Constitution.
Be it ours, inv . fellow-citizens, our
labors in the common contest, to pre-
serve the purity of our principles,
to tWetle,, our State front bondage, to
(10101141 our free Constitut ion,' to elevate
still higher the, Democratic faiith, whieh
is the glory of this country awl the
hope of humanity throughout the world.
God to our keeping has eommitted the
sacred flame of liberty. Let us be true
to our trust that our path through life
may be illuminated by its rays, that
our children may possess the heritage
of freedom, that the Nations may re
joice in the light and Itle of _Democratic
truth.
Impressed with these solemn eon s i
erations, halm) which all present per
sonalities sink into insig•nificanee, let us
go to our respective homes, and endeav
or to ditlnse, in all parts of our country,
the high political morality or a party,
pure in its origin, action, sentiments
and tendencies. Let us cultivate the
spirit of eontord among ourselves, and
of charity towards our opponents.

Grand Trial of .31nring .Thiehines—The
.11anny Machine Virturious.
STRACVSK, N. Y., July 14.—The trial
of mowers came off to-day ut three o'-
clock, preceded by speeches and a grand
procession, at the county fair grounds.
Upwards of twenty machines' were en
tered, and the display at starting was
very fine. All did well, but it was
ham apparent that the real contest was
between the Manny with Wood's im
provement and the het chum machines.
'l'he struggle was close, the Manny
coming in slightly ahead. This result
was hailed with cheers by the multitude,
in which the friends of the Ketchum
in:whine heartily joined. The fact of
rapidity of work, however, does not de
termine the question of superiority.
The other tests will ho made during the
week. The weather is fine and mil the
contAxitants in good spirits.

pleasure to be able to say that a num
ber of car loads.of Iron fur the Gettys
burg Railrqad arrived at Hanover dur
ing Friday and Saturday last—a con
tract having been made in June, by the
officers of the Company, for a sufficient
quantity to lay the entire road, about
thirteen hundred tons, we believe. It
is Welsh rail, of very best finality, ns
tests by ccnapetent judges in Baltimore
have satistitetorily demonstrated. In
weight, it is the same as that used on
the Cumberland Valley, Norristown,
and other Railroads, fifty pounds to the
yard. That now at•ilanover is a part
of a cargo of four hundred and forty
four tons just arrived at Balthuore—
the balance - of the ship-load wilt be fbr
warded during the reek probably; and
we understand that the whole of the
thirteen.hundrol tons are to be deliver
eyed daring the months of August, Sep
tember and t ktober. Th e l a yi ng of t h e

Now let the instalments on the out-
