THE CONVICT'S BRIDE
It was a dark, dreary morning in the
December of 176 The groUnd was
covered with snow, and the bleak wind
was howling in terrific gusts through the
streets. Yet despite the inclemency of
the weather, crowds of persons of all
classes, and, among them, many of the
- w - eaker ser, - might - be - seen - horrying-to- - -- 1
wards the Place de Greve. It was the
morning appointed for the execution of
Victor d' Aubigny.
The circumstance which had called
this expiration of life at the altar of jus
tice, are briefly as follows—and, blended
with the strong love of excitement as the
French, account in some degree, for the
eager curiosity so diScernible in the mul
titude now hastening to the awful spec
tacle of a fellow creature, in the full flush
of youth and health, being plunged into
the gulf of an.unknown eternity. The
crime for which Victor d' Aubigny. was
doomed to suffer was forgery. Remon
strance, petitions, interest, all had been
tried -to avert the fatal penalty. The
offence was one of frequent occurrence,
and must be checked, even at the costly
sacrifice of a human life. Fortunately,
in our days, the
. law is satisfied with less
than the ✓ blood of its victim. In every
'eau tin - apt) o - ,f fsts - are - to - be -foun d-- for
guilt, and sympathy is more readily ex
cited when the perpetrator is endowed
with great personal or mental advantages,
or fills position above the ordinary level
in society. All these Victor d' Aubigny
possessed ; he had also the higher distinct
ion of having, up to the period of his
crime, borne a blameless character.—
From their earliest youth a close intimacy
had existed between himself and Augus
te del3iron Similarity of age and pur
suit, both bring intended for the army,
united them more than congeniality of
dispositions ; for the warm generosity ; of
Victor bore little resemblance to the cold,
suspicious, vindicative nature of Auguste.
They were alike only in their pursuit of
pleasure, though even in the prosecution
of this the taste of each took a different
bias. The strong and feverish excite
ment of the gambling table, too well suit-
ed the eager temperament of Victor.—
He who, in the midst of the most profli
gate capital of the world, had strength
to resist all other allurements, fell a ready
prey to that vice, whose fatal indulgence
has often paved the way for the commiss
ion of almost every crime
Auguste on the other hand, shunning
the dazzling saloons of play, was a night
ly visitant of the metropolitan theatres—
not to enjoy the wit of Moliere, or the
genius of Racine, but to watch the airy
movements of some fiyurante in the bal
let. As they advanced to manhood, the
success of d' Aubigny in society called
perpetually into play the evil passions of
his companion,
whose feelings gradually
changed from friendship to dislike, and
deepened into hatred implacable and bit
ter, on the refusal of his hand by a lady,
who assigned, as the reason, a mad though
unreturned passion for his friend: Auguste
controlled his resentment outwardly, and
left Paris.
Victor at this period was betrothed to
a lovely but passionless girl, and the day
for the nuptials was fixed. A few eve
nings previous ho entered one of the gam
bling establishments with which Paris a
bounds. Enough; he. was tempted to
play, and in a short time found himself
a loser to double the amount of all the
ready money he could command He
rushed from the house in a state of phren-
By. The money must be paid on the fol
lowing day. To whom could - he apply ?
Auguste, who might have assisted him,
was in England, whither he had gone to
be present at the debut of . a celebrated
danseuse. Fl :suddenly recollected that
his friend had . left a large sum at his bank
:era; Forgetful, in thedespeiatiori of the
'moment, of everything but escape - from
present embarrassment, ho forged a check
for the eum required. It was dui§ hon
ored—but his &Om was sealed: Ho in
stantly wrote to apprise do Biros of what
ho had done ;-,pleading in mitigation that
they had Often shared •thosanie pOrsO,
and binding himself to return the - inoney
at - the earliest possible period; No reply
was given ,to his letter. The time flew
onward—the,day fo i ;liia marriage arrived.
Tho'bridal solemnity was over, when, .as
4ho party were ; leaving the church, .IY7
Vbr (ilmbssk
Aubigny was arrested on charge of for
gery !
The trial and ,eondemnation rapidly
succeeded,. and the day of execution
dawned too soon. Victor met his death
calmly and resignedly. But it is not
with him our tale has to do—it is ,with
her, the beautiful, the hereaved one—with
Isabelle D'Aubigny, the convict's bride.
From the period when the promulgation
of his sentence rung in her ears, to that
moment in which the fatal axe fell on the
throat of its victim, nor sigh, nor tear,
nor word, had escaped her. Every facul
ty seemed suspended by misery. The
last, long embrace of her husband—the
wild, choking sob which burst from him,
tion—the thousand frantic passionate
kisses which he showered on her marble
face at the foot of the scaffold, all failed
to dissolve the trance of grief into which
she had fallen. But the. moment of
awakening agony came at last! When
the guillotine had done its office, and the
body of her beloved Victor lay bleeding
and dead before her—sorrow, asserting
its omnipotent sway over humanity, shiv
ered the feeble barriers of temporary un
consciousness, and let the prisoned mind
free to contemplate the ruin of its only
earthly hope, the extinction of all youth's
sweetest visor's. Then came the groan of
anguish, the shriek of despair—the strain
ing of the eyeballs, to assure itself of
that- whi eb- stretehed every-fibre- of -lb e
heart with agony, till it almost burst
with the tension. Then came that pijrc•
ing look into furture years, which so
often accompanies calamity in its fresh
ness ; when all that would have sus
tained us beneath the heavy load, has
been wrenched from us for ever and
ever!
Vainly the friends who surrounded
Isabelle, strove to tear her from the body
of Victor. There was fascination in the
gaze, though horror was GlJa—da-WiTri
Her own, her beautiful, lay a mutilated
corpse before her—he whom she had
loved with an absorbing intensity, which
would have defied time to lessen, circum
stance to change—with whom she had
hoped to journey through existence, part
ner of his pleasures, soother of his griefs.
And now she was alone and desolate !
'I hen indeed did she feel that fate had
levelled its-deadliest weapon ; and hence
forth every hour was stamped with stern,
unchanging, dreary despair. Great mis
f rtunes either strengthen or enfeeble§ the
mind. When the grave had closed over
the body of Victor, Isabelle—the weak,
the gentle, the ,timid Isabelle, returned
to her lonely hearth, a calm, stern, deter
mined woman.
All the elite of Milan were gathered
together in the magnificent threatre of
LaScala. Beauty lent its attraction, rank
its patronage, and fashion its influence;
to grace the farewell benefit of "La Vlo
rinda," the
.unrivalled danseusc. the boast
of Italy, the idol of the Milanese.
It is not Itn easy task to rouse an En
glish audience into a furs of eestacy ; an
I t talian one is composed of material of a
more inflammable nature ; and demon
strations which would seem to us extrava
gant and absurd, only appear to them a
meet homage to genius. To-night their
wonted enthusiasm received double im
petus, from the consciousness that it
was the last public testimony they could
afford, of their appreciation of the con
summate skill and loveliness of the fair
creature before them. The ensuing
week would see her united to a weilthy
noble, and this night witness her parting
obeisance to an audience, of• whom all
the men were her worshipers, and even
the women were her partizans and admir
ers. The curtain rose, and certainly the
appearance of the heroine of the evening
was Warranty enough for the burst of rap
turous applause which followed. Her
form, itself of tl'e most faultless symme
try, acquired additional, captivation from
the display and costliness permitted by
theatrical costume Iler face, too, was
one of surpassing beauty. Large, deep
blue eyes, waves of the glossiest hair, and
a skin of that clear transparent whiteness
which shows with such dazzling effect at
night—all these attractions were in them
selves enough to -fascinate the sight.—
But there was that about "La Florinda"
whioh interested the feelings fully as
much. The dreamy melancholy of her
profound and passionate eyes—the entire
repose of all her features—the extraor
dinary expression about the small cherub
mouth, which seemed formed for love and
dimples, yet which none had ever seen
relax into a smile—this it was which lent
such witchery to her beauty, and threw
around her a kind of .mysterious charm,
even amid the glare and frivolity with
which she was surrounded.
Though assailed by temptation in every
shape, so rigid and unblemished had been
her conduct that the noble family to
which• she was about to be allied, vainly
sought in it a pretext to, dissolve the en•
gagement between herself and their rel-,
ative. Yet she lived in utter unprotect.
ednessi - with only the companionship of a
young girl who officiated as her attendant.
With society she never mixed, nor left
her home, except to attend her profes
sional duties.
On tbis her last evening of pubUc ex
istence, all was done that. could render
her_ exit triumphant., The stage
orally filled with bouquets flung. at her
feet, accompanied by many a- valuable
and less perishable testimony to her worth
and talent. When' she made her fare
well acknowledgements, each felt .a pang
of regret at parting with one so lovely and
gifted, and many a bright eye was filled
with tears—yet she, the'Canse alone re.:

as ever. The curtain fell amid an out
break of such feeling as shook the walls
of La Scala to their foundation and Flor
inda was seen there no more.
. ." Now pray, Signora, on this your
wedding day, do look as if you were hap
py. Heigho! if I was so beautiful, be"-
loved so much by the merciless, I should
be smiling all day along."
" My good Rosalie, I have long for
gotten to smile or weep„ In truth, poor
child, you have had but a . wearisome life,
in attending on one in whose bosoth the
pulse of joy hath forever stopped."
"0, say not so, Signora ; all the girls
in Milan will be glad to waiit on one so
kind; so gracious, so gentle a mistress—
aye, and so pretty a one too. For when
I am brAding those long tresses, or fas
tening the sandals on your tiny feet, I
feel quite proud in being, permitted to
serve La Florinda, who, 4)11 Milan says,
has borrowed the face and form of the
famous Venus at Florence."
" Fie on thee, child ? I would chide
thee for this flattery, but that , an unkind
word ever sends foolish tears into thine
eyes. But hasten, 'Rosalie, the time
wears on. Give me my veil, - and leave
me."
The attendant did as she -;was liiittee - n,
and Florinda was alone. For while she
satin deep meditation hersthall white hand
-clasped-- upon her-brow,-as- ir,to..-. still - the,
tumult of feelings rushing through her
brain. The day at. length had come for
which she had patiently waited for years ;
fur which she had devoted herself to a
profession which she abhorred, and toiled
in it laboriously and ceaselessly—and
nourished a life she would otherwise have
allowed the mildew of grief to corrode
and destroy. The hour was at hand
when the one purpose of' her existence
was to be realized—the long recorded vow
fiilfilled: The near accoliipligiftiefif - iif
her wishes gave to the cheek of Florinda
a flush of crimson, deep as 1, he sunset of
summer, and lit up her lustrous eyes with
almost unearthly brightness. As she
contemplated herself in the mirror, ar
rayed in all the costly magnificence of
bridal attire, vanity for a - moment pre
ponderated; but it was a transient weak
ness. .An instant more—the brow re
sumed its look of calm, stern determina
tion—the beautiful mouth, its compressed
rigidity. Having adjusted the orange
wreath on her temples and arranged the
drapery of the long de- ',ate veil, whose
4
snowy folds enveloped • form from head
to foot, she entered t...., io! . .servatory ad
joining her chamber, att,ting, from it
a boquet of choicest floweiy- awaited the
i,,
arrival of her bride's maids and friends.
In a few minutes the expected guests as
sembled, and leaning on the arm of the
brother of her betrothed, she entered one
of the carriages . , and'Ulie party ptis66i. 3 ,tted
to the church of St. Ambrose. The nup
tial rites were performed, and Florinda
was greeted as La Marehesa. di Vivaldi.
The marchese, gently passing his arm
around her waist, would fain have folded
her to his bosom. A. quick shudder
which seemed to convulse every, limb,
passed-over her."
" My beautiful leye looks pale !"
" "I'is nothing—antidden faintness. I
culled, these flowers for you, your favorite
heliotrope is there; take them—you will
not surely refuse your bride's first gift ?"
The marchcse took the"boquet present
ed, pressed them passionately to his lips,
inhaled their fragrance, and fell at the
feet of Florinda a lifeless corpse.
A wild, unnatural burst of laughter
from the marchesa pealed through the
church. "It is well—it is well ! Victor,
my beloved, thou art avenged. Now I
will join thee."
Uttering these words, she took from
beneath the folds of her dress a small
poniard, and buried it to the hilt-in her
breast.
The bride and the bridegroom lay dead
together.
On searching her , desk, a paper was
found explanatvfy of the catastrophe.—
It is scarcely necessary to say that " La
Florinda was the name assumed by Isa
bella d' Aubigny. In the record left of
her motives and actions, she stated that
after the execution of Victor, she made
a solemn vow to become his avenger—
but with a refined revenge, when his
destroyer ; De Biron, was at the height
of earthly bliss. For this purpose her
first aim was to captivate his heart. As
the widow of Victor, she might fail in
this She was aware that he was a pas
sionate admirer of dancing. Through the
aid of this accomplishment, soperadded to,
her beauty of person, she hoped to en
snare his affections. Her first step was
to become the pupil of the most celebra
ted master.of the day, and by dint of un
remitting toil, she qualified herself for
public exhibition. She resolved to ap
pear in Italy, to which country Auguste
de Biron had retired, to escape the strong
manifestationS of dislike whieb; after the
execution of Victor do Aubigny, foll Owed
him whenever he entered society at Paris.
Ile was also the heir to 4 title and con
siderable estates in the Abruzzi. The
death of his relative soon put him in pos
session of these, and he became tho Mar
chese di . Vivaldi. At this period, Flor
inda, who was cognizant of a I that befel
him, made hs,debat at Naples. 'All

was offered an engagement at" La Scala."
She acceple - d — iu=-appenieth , =became the
idol of the
,public—and soon the object
of her revenge, bowed ber feet a sup
pliant for for'hor'hand.
She accepted him., During the life .of
Victor, he had never sel!nli;; and who,

foot, her adored Victor had been torn
from her arms ; it should be at the altar's
foot the expiatory sacrifice should be
made—his murderer destroyed. She pro
cured from the East a deadly poison, the
simple inhalation of which produces
abrupt and certain death. Every flower
in the boquet was steeped in deadly es
sence; its effect has been narrated. And
thus, by one of those frightful transac

a murderess and a suicide !

ered in Philadelphia on Fast day, in the
Arch street Presbyterian Church, by the
Rev. Charles S. Porter, of Boston, and
published by'th — d'orequest of a committee
of the congregation ; •
What a history is ours ! Its commence
ment was like the glimmer of a star on
the bosom of night ; its progress, the
beamings of noontide effulgence. Your
beautiful and opulent city is a memora-•
ble point in the course of our political ex
istence. It embosoms mementoes of our
earliest national being. It •is itself a
noble illustration of our prosperity and
greatness. How--could- it• have—become
whatis it, in population and prosperity,
in present and prospective greatness, had
not the nation become,. by God's favor, a
great and prosperous people f And how
could we have been the people we are, in
men and means for the present awful civil
conflict, had we not been favored of
Heaven as were never any other people !
Our first duty is to stand by the throne
of God ; the next, by the flag of our coun•
try% if we are a Christian, we must, we
shall iiPairiofre.peefT) e. A true "Cli riS •
tian must be, is, the best ruler and sub
ject, citizen and soldier. A voice from
the tomb of a clergyman in your city cries
in our ears :,"God and my country." Let
the ministry, let the church, in every
branch, of all denominations, from Maine
to California, from the frozen North to
the torrid South, echo that cry, "God and
my country !" Let it be the watchword in
all our national and State councils. The
.battle-cry with our armed and marshaled
hosts - in conflict with treason. Let all
the youth in the land, from Sur primary
schools to the walls and halls of our uni
versities, wake in thunder tones the shout,
"God and my country !" Let treason all
over the land hear it and tremble. Let
the nations hear it, and know for once
that we cannot be lionght ; that_ we will
net be sold ; that we cannot be conquer
ed by the forces, or terrified by the thun
dering batteries of the world. Let all
In - 6W that under - God - we . have but one
aim, purpose, and prayer—to live or die
a free, united, and independent republic.
SICKNESS NOT CAUSELESS.—There
never can be disease without a cause; and
almost always the cause is in the person
who is ill He has either done something
which he ought not to have done, or he
has omitted something which he should
have attended to.
Another important item is, that sick
ness does not, as a general thing, come on
suddenly ; as seldom does it thus come as
a house becomes enveloped in flames, on
the instant of the fire first breaking out.
There is generally a spark, a tiny flame,
a trifling blaze. It is so with disease, and
promptitude is always an important ele•
ment of safety and deliverance. A little
child wakes up in the night with a dis
turbing cough, but which after a while,
passes off, and the parent feels relieved ;
the second night, the cough is more do-
cided ; the third, it is croup, and in a few
hours more, the darling is dead •
Had that child been kept warm in bed
the whole of the day after the first cough
ing was noticed, had it been fed lightly,
and got abundant warm sleep, it would
have had no cough the second night, and
and the day after would have been well.
An incalculable amount of human suf
fering, and many lives would be saved
every year, if two things were done uni
formly. First, when any uncomfortable
feeling is noticed, begin at once, trace the
cause of it and avoid that cause ever after.
—Second, use means at once to remove
the symptom: and among these, the best
are those which are most universally a
vailable and applicable, as rest, warmth,
abstinence, a clean person, and pure air.
When animals are ill, they follow nature's
instinct, and lie down to rest. Many a
valuable life has been lost by the unwise
efforts of the patient to 'keep up,' wit—a
the most fitting place was a warm bed
and a quite' apartnient.
Some persons attempt to 'harden their
constitutions,' by exposing themselves to
the causes which induced their sufferings,
as if they - could by so doing, get accus
tomed to the exposure, and ever thereaf
ter endure, it with good impunity. A
good constitutjon, like a good garment,
lasts the longer,by its being taken careof.
If a finger has been burned by putting it
in the fire and is cured never so well, it
will be burned again a s often as it is put
in the fire; such a result is inevitable,
There is no such thing as hardening one's
self against the cause of 'disease. What
gives a man a cold tolay, will give him
a cold to morrow, and the next day, and
the next. What lies in the stotraoh like
a heavy weight to-day, will do the . same
to morrow; not in a less degree,laut a great
er
. 4 and as we get older, or get more un-'
der the influence of disease, lesser causes
have greater ill effects ; so that the older
we get, the greater need is there for in-
creased efforts to avoid hardships and pa
posures, and to be;rtiord prompt in recti
fying any symptoms, by rest, warmth, and
abstinence.—Mall's Journal of Wealth.
Hazel Nuts.
Hazel nuts are the fruit of the wild
bush of Corylus Avellana, unchanged or
unimproved by cultivation. The fruit
differs from that of the domesticated va
rieties only in being smaller," while the
tree is more hardy. This plant, which is
a native of all the cooler parts of Europe,
Northern Asia, and North America, is the
parent of the many varieties of nuts and
filberts now cultivated for their fruit.—
The filbert is 'the fruit of the tubulosa
variety of the Corylus Avellana. The
term was originally applied to those ki - fids
of nuts which have very long husks; but
owing to the number of varieties that have
of late years been obtained, this distinct
ion, which was never scientific, appears
to be nearly disregarded, and nuts and
filberts are almost synonymous terms, ex
cepting that the wild uncultivated fruit
and those varieties which most nearly ap
proach it are never called filberts. In
order qpreserve filberts in a fresh and
plump Mate, it is only necessary to pre
vent their parting with their moisture by
evaporation. Burying them in heaps in
the earth, putting them in earthen jars in
a cellar, and covering them with dry sand
are all excellent plans. The hazel nut of
America is smaller than that of Spain,
but it possesses a more pleasarit taste, and
might be gathered in largo quantities in
man; places. It is however, never gath
ered likeehesnuts- for th-e-market i -all-the
filberts and hazel nuts sold are imported.
About 182,000 bushels are exported from
Spain annually.
THE GLORY OF THESE TIMES.—The
g,reatset glory of these times lies not in
the triumph of battle fields ; not in the
viJtories of physical force ; not in the
splendid success of military skill ; not
even in the saving of a nation's life; but
it lies in,the noble qualities nf manhood .
that the time has called forth ; in the ca
pacities for endurance and uncomplain
ing suffering that are every where dis
played; in the heroism, devotion and
self sacrifice with whirh so many youth
and men of the noblest stamp have lett
all .that was attractive at home to give
then:lad:6s to their country ; in the beau
tiful submissiveness and treroic generosi
ty of the homes that have opened their
doors and consented to berobbed of their
dearest treasures that the nation and hu
manity may be enriched ; in the hopeful .
sympathies and charities that have mad ,
every community, almost every home
among us holier ; in the extraordinary
fortitude shown everywhere by the woun
ded soldiers in the hospitals ; and, finally,
in triumph which, through all these sub
lime qualities and deeds is being achieved
for the sacred principles that are the true
inspiration of the nation's life.
BE CHEERFUL AT YOUR MEALS.-
The benefit derived from food taken de
pends very much upon the condition of
the body while eating. If taken in a
moody, cross, or despairing condition of
the mind, dimtion is much less perfect
and slower than when taken with a cheer
ful disposition. Very rapid and silent
eating should be avoided, and some topic
of interest introduced at meals that all
may partake in, and if a hearty laugh is
occasionally indulged in it will be better.
It is not uncommon that a person dining
in pleasant and social company can eat
and digest well that which, when eaten
alone and the mind absorbed in • some
deep study, or brooding over cares arid
disappointments, would be long undigest
ed in the stomach, causing disarrange
ment and pain, and, if' much indulged in,
become the cause of permanent and irre
parable injury to the system.
AN INGENIOUS TEST-A short time
ago a merchant, in prosecuting his morn
ing tour in the suburbs, found, as he
walked along, a purse containing a con
siderable sum of money. He observed a
lady at some distance, who he thought
would be the owner and loser. Deter
mined to be correct in the party to whom
he delivered it, lie fell upon a strange yet
ingenious plan to effect this ; he resolved
to act the part of a poor, distressed man
and boldly went forward hat in hand and
asked alms. This was answered with a
polite Go away! I have nothing to give
you.' The poor man, however, persist.
ing in his entr.eatiesi, would not go until
he had got assistance for his famishing
wife and children. At last the lady con
descended ; but to her dismay found the
whf.srewith was gone. The merchant,
with * ti polite bow, returned the purse,
with the advice in future to be more gen
erous to the distressed.
A. NEW SOURCE OF DlSEASE.—Or
pheus C. Kerr, the historiographer of the
Maokeral Brigade, while lately approach
ing the capitolian city, encountered a man
—or rather in hie own Johnsonian words:
When very near the city on my return
home, I met a chap weighing about: two
hundred pounds, who was on his way to
a lawyer's, to get his exemption from the
draft duly fixed.
'See, here, my patriotic invalid,' says
I, rather skeptically, 'how do you come
to be exempt ?"
am exempt,' said he, in a profound
ly melancholy manlier, 'because I am suf
fering from a broken heart.'
" - Remy pays I. _
"It is true,' says ho, sniffling 'd is m ally.
'I asked the female of my heart to ha• c
me. She 'said 1 hadn't postage stamps
enough to suit her ideas• of personal rev
enueiand she didn't care to do my wash._
ingThai was enough. My heart you
see,is broken, and rm not an able bodied
man.'
Drafting, -my boy, is of a nature to tie.

Too Many Irons in, the Firb.
Whenever you see a dal with a whole

EXPAND TUE CHEST.—TIIO9O in easy
circumstances, or those who pursue sed
entary, indoor employment, use their lungs
but little, breathe but little air into the
chest, and thus, independent of positioni
contract a wretchedly small chest, and lay
the foundation of the loss of health and
beauty. All this can be perfectly obvi
ated by a little attention to the manner of
breathing. Recollect that the lungs are
like a bladder in their construction ; open
to double their size with perfect safety;
giving a noble chest and perfect immunity
from consumption. The agent and the
only agent we require, is th common air
we breathe; supposing however, that no
obstacle exists, external to the chest, such
as ,ty i lig it round with stays or having the
O
shoulders lying upon it. n arising from
your bed the morning, place yourself in
an erect positiori, the shoulders thrown off
the chest; now inhale all the air you can,
so that no more can be got in ; now hold
your breath and throw your arms . off be
hind, holding your breath as long as pos
sible. Repeat these long breaths as much
as you plew,e. Done in a cold room is
much better, because the air is much
denser and will act more powerfully in
expanding the chest. Exercising the chest
in this manner will enlarge the capability
and size of the lungs.

- WHAT - OF THE -STA:TE---=
,
In Di6o the Democratic party was disie
tegrater 'and practically without organiza
tion, because of the mingled imbecility,
treachery and corruption of the Buchanan ad
nunistration. It had two candidates for the
Presidency, and a party struggling for each,
looking to future domination rather than
peseta sucee :s. Foster tried the not un
common but as yet unsuccessful feat of a
small politician riding two nags heading op
posite ways at once, and although a tolera
bly-uniteti_ell'ort was-made-for. him, _Lie.....was .
defeated by over 32,000 majority. In 1861
there were no State officers or Congresstnen
to elect and the State went by default, and
in 1862 the confusion resulting from the'
Proximity of Gen. Lee's army to our borders,
the calling of the militia and Stuart's raid,
prevented anything like systematic effort to
poll the vote of the State. Berks and Lan
caster were both reckoned doubtful on Con
gress—so little was known of the tendency
of popular sentiment.
The State has been without" organization
since 1860, and the present campaign open
ed with little or no data on which to calcu
late results. Woodward Was nominated in
June, nod Biddle was in due time charged
with the leadership ; but beyond proving his
eminent unfitness for the position, he has
accomplished nothing. He pretended to re
sign and promised to fight when the rebels
invaded the State ; but he obliged loyal men
generally by doing neither, for if' he has com
mon honesty, he could hardly fight save on
the rebel side. His first estimate of the State
fixed Woodword's majority at from 40,000 tcv
60,000, and he so assured his "friends" with
ofiiciarsole niii[y but within ten - days past
he has revised his figures, and proclaimed
to the faithful that he will carry the State by
front 10,000 to 20, 000. Whether he will
keep reducing his majority until he gets it
on the Curtin side, depends upon how much
sense he acquires bef, re the election.
' rho Union man had but sixty days in which
to comtrience and complete the work of organ
ization, while the Democrats had four months:
but in point of effective, systematio and pro
gressive effort the Union men are fully up to
their opponents to day, taking the *hole
State; and in twenty days more will be quite
prepared for the great battle to come off' in
October. Taking the vote of 1860 ass basis,
there will be singular changes in different
sections of the State, West of the mountains
1 Gov. Curtin will lose but little, if any, on his
immense majority of DM. In Fayette, Greene
and %Vest morelaud he may fall off a few hun
dreds; but. upon the whole he will cross the
the 'mountains not 2,000 behind his old vote.
In some of the southern, middle and north
eastern counties he will lose materially.—
York may give from 1.000 to 1,500 more than
in 1860, and Adams-; Franklin, Fulton, Bed
ford and Cumberland will add an aggregate of
1,000 to the gain against him. Clearfield,
Centre, Union, Lycoming and';Vorthumber
land will dcvell the loss 2,000 more. Berke
will add 1,50. J to it, and Schuylkill and Lu
cerne may add 6,000. Possib3y we place
them high ; but we shall not be disappointed,
nor shall we feel like complaining, if the vote
shall so turn out. The,lrish "friends" of that
region have pretty mach control of every
thing ; they have arrested the draft, and seem
to have but two things particularly at heart
—to stop the war and vote the Democratic
ticket. Many of them have eluded the enroll
ing officers entirely, and others have left sud
denly after they were enrolled, to avoid the
fortunes of the draft; and a full vote in that
region, since we can well afford it, may be of
essential advantage to the government. It is
natural that they should have a special affec
tion for Judge Woodward, as he insists that
they-are unfitted either to vote or hold office.
end as a heavy poll cannot but be grist to
the mill of the Provost Marshals, we beg our
Irish "friends" to go in freely. In Northamp
ton, Lehigh, Carbon, Monroe and Wayne
there'will he a regular gain for Woodward
over Foster, amounting in the aggregate to
some .2 500 With these ocunties, we have
almost the entire gain that can be claimed a
gainst Curtin, and we have given the figures
very liberally for Woodward. Thirty days of
effort such as will be made may almost entire
ly overcome these conceded gains ; but they
would pretty certainly be realized if the elec
tion were to be held to morrow,
On the other baud, Gov. Curtin must gain
full 10.000 in Philadelphia, Chester, Dela
ware and Montgomery, unless his friends
fail criminally to press the advantages they
now have ',lle was beaten in Philadelphia
2,200 in 186; and it will.require no very ex,.
treordinary effort to give him 8,000 over
Woodward now. Chostertted Delaware will
give 1,000 more than in 1860, and MOntgom
ery will give 501 less against him ; Such we
believe to be r:fpir estimate of the State as it
now-appears. and it is not withiejthe range of
-probability that-the current can-be:'-otherwise
than favorable, from,, this, to - the , election.—
