lie further assures us tlmt the triumph ol'Ueary

It could not ho otherwise.

And why should not tho soldier's friend"
Support thu soldier, true nml brave ?
One fought, his country to defend j
One toiled, our noble hoys to save.
Eacllti his sphere, a biilliant star,
And both iriio champions of tho right ,-
The tales of traito'S shall uot mar
Their councils, nor impair their miyht !
ISravc noble C'urttii ! While his health
Seemed blasted withering lor tho tomb,
lie led this glorious Commonwealth
Through years of struggling ainious gloom.
Willi flery vehemence of fouI,
Spiinglng from warm Hibernian blood j
Vet, under Rjason's calm control,
lie guides our vessel o'er tho Hood.
No chief of any loyal Stato
, More honored, mora beloved than ho :
Oud grant that ho his health, restored,
Long life mid happiness may see !
And why should noble Geary fail
To covert) well the "Keystone State 1"
His name tlio loyal millions hail
lie's earned each traitor's deadly hate !
lie's honest, patriotic, just j
lie has experience, knowledge, sense ;
Like Andy Curiin, never yet
Was Geary seeu iutrl.le the fence I
When infant Kansas gasping lay,
Throttled by Slavery in her might,
How nobly, promptly Geary then
Forsook mere party for the right !
Honor to such ! they bavo to bear
A double portion of tho hate
Of simpletons, who.lou.lly swear
'Twas Shivery in ado tho nation great !
How siiallwo carry Geary, then,
And savo tlio honor of tlio State f
Work hail! And let the Cniurhradi '

Their ship's a wreck their sails are torn
They're drifting toward the rocky strand
They're hound to Davy's L ckcr ! Well,
Just let them go it "double niann'd !"
Our ship's in trim our compass right j
One Pilot for our oraft will do 1
But as tho Cops nro in distress,
We're willing they shall sail with two!

Yes, this grave, and the gravo of every

that tho lt"puhIio might live, and how
they died on bloody fields, in ghastly

that we can never too greatly honor or

THE WAR-CLOUI)"lNEUnOIJE.
Tho war rumors in Europe nro already
creating a fluttering in linaneial circles
over tho water. The dainaud for moil
ey is so urgent that tho I3 nk ot England
has put itp its rate of interest to ton per
cent, and discounts reluctantly at that,
it is said. Several houses havo gore
under. It may be that a part of the
flurry has been caused by extraordinary
cotton Bpeculatior.s and stock gambling.
A heavy demand on tho New York
market has been tho result, and gold
has, gone up like a rocket
Nobody can tell, of course, whether
tho European war rumors will deepen
into tho lurid horrors of a general con
flagration or subside into gyrating
wreaths and vanish into thin air. It is
dillicult to penetrate tho arcana of Euro
penn diplomacy. Me of tho Tuileries
thro'V off his usual retieenco the other
day and spoke with extraordinary plain
ness and boldness at Au.verrie, in the
Department of Yonno, a Hundred miles
southwest of Paris,-and tho papers-attri-bute

lie sai l ha "detested these treaties of
1813 now sought to be made the sole
basis ot our foreign policy," and ho
threw in a little blarney tor "tho work,
ing p opulation both m town and coun
try." Ibi finds among thoin the "real
genus of Franco. " Sjuio people inter
pret tho "N ip jleoniu idea" by tho rulo
of contraries, however. When th'0
phlogmatii! man' says peace, they under
stand war, and when he says war they
look for peace JjrThosb treaties ot
1813" so much "detested'' should bo
understood in the singular. Uoforenoo
I is undoubtedly made to tho treaty of the
allied powers after tho downfall ot Na
poleon in 1813, whereby Napoleon and
Ins house were forever excluded from ro
oognitition as sovereigns in Europo n
treaty that remains on paper to this day,
which S I, M. bo. much "detests."
Though ho has destroyed it practically
for himself, he wants to see it destroyed
theoretically as well, lest it should some
day, not many yoars hence perhaps,
trouble Nap. Jr., 1 It may bo and
we Biicpeot this is tho secret of his ap
parent bluster he thinks that open
tHbiiaoe, just now when affairs in Austria
Pru-sia, eto , are in so critical a condi
tion, will have the effect of frightening
some of the parties to tlio abhorred trea
ty into voluntarily moving for its nbrc
gallon.
It there cliould be a great continental
struggle tor the "reconstruction" o1'
tho map of Europo it would have a Ire
mentions effect upon this country as a
matter of course, and an effect not en
tirely disastrous. It would create an
immense demand for our breadstuff, for
although these are now cheaper there
than here, yet a great war would soon
turn tlio tables, and, by crippling pro
duction there, call for all wo could ex
p. rt at remunerating prices. Manufac
turing industry would bo powerfully
affected, which would naturally react
upon the prion of cotton.
The iinme Imto effect of th) rumors
will probably be to stimulate emigration
to this country. Thu "working classes"
will probably prefer p woo and prosper
ity over here to tho privilege of being
shot down and killed or crippled for the
glory ef their empurpled majesties and
serene highnesses there, ami wi.'l be
very likely, many of them, to make hay
while tho Run shines ami gel out ot the
fiery furnaces as soon as possible.
Vo are incline 1 to think that a war
in Europe, in its material clients, would
do us more good than harm. Still we
hopo it may bo avoided for the sake of
a oonnn n humanity. Notwithstanding
the fowering clound, our impression is
that the olunuos tor peace are nt least
I eipiul to those of war if not superior.
Should there bo a collision bct.vi.cn Aus
tria and Itally it by no means follows
that it must become E irop'jau in its
character.
Tlio gull exeitement in New York
we look upon i as temporary; and unless
the revolutionists opposi d to a loyal
Congress succeed in still further. distrac
ting our public affairs, wo expect to see
the price decline. Let then triumph
permanently Niud gold would go out of
sight, vanish with the Constitution, the
Union, and our liberties.
A MODKL CONSERVATIVE MAN.
Mr. Vallaudigham took a prominent
pail in the Democratic Convention held
nt Columbus in Ohio, thu other day.
As our readers know, ho mid his "own
intimate fiend" Pendleton, in their
speclies hinted! at another civil war, in
which Vallaudi j;i!am hoped to be milita
ry commandant of Ohio.'
In whose interest Mr. Vallaudigham
would liko to bo dictator may bo gath
ered from the following extracts from
the "Dairy of a Uebel War Clerk," rc
nontlypublishcJ, which shows how live
ly an interest he took in tho success of
tho rebellion, nml how i'?ger he was to
give useful liii.ts to Jeff Davis, when hu
was setit South.
On the l!7th of May, 18(13, tho rebel
war clerk writes : ''Vailaudinghum has
been sent to Shclbyi'illc, within our lines.
I think our people ought to give him a
friendly greeting."
On the 17th of June he writes : "A
sealed envelope ' came in to-day, ad
dressed by the President to the Secretary
of War, marked 'Highly important and
confidential,' which of course, I sent to
the Secretary without breaking tho seal,
ss it is my du'y to do ull letters not pri
vato or confidential. I can as yet only
conjecture what it referred to. It may
bo nt good, ami tt inuy bo of bad import
It may relate to nffurs in tho West, or
it may bo a commnnical ion from abroad
several steamers Jin ving just arrived
Can it he fro n tha Govornment at
Washington? I care not what it is, if
wo hold Vieksblirg."
On tho 18th ot Juno hu writes: "I
have good reason to suppose that tlio
packages marked 'important,' ifcc, sent
from the President's ollioe yesterday to
Secretary of Wnr, was tho substance of
a conversation which took placo between
Mr. . Ould and Mr. Vhllatidighnm
What Mr, Vallandigham revealed to
Mr. Ould, perhaps supposing the latter,
although employed hero, friendly to ulti
mate reconstruction, there is no means
of conjecturing. But it was deemed
'highly important. !'
And finally, on tho 221 he reveals
the mystery. "To-day I saw the memi
ornnduin of Mr, Ould, of thu oonvcr-n-tion
held with Mr, 'Vallajidigham, in
the arohives. lie says, if we can only
hold out this year, the peae party of the
North will sweep the Lincoln ilynisti out
of political existante.
'Ho seoins to have thought that our
cause was sinking, and feared that ice
would submit, which would, ef couso, be
ruiuons to his party I But ho advisos
strongly against any invasion ot Penn
sylvania, for that would unite all parlies
at thu North, and so strengthen Lincoln's
banc's that ho would bo ablo to crush all
opposition, and trample upon the Con
stitutional rights nt the people. Mr.
Vall.indighain said nothing to indicate
that lie or the party had any other idea
Jian the Union would bo reo instructed
under democratic rule. The President
indorsed with his own, pen on this doc
ument, that in regard to iuvasion of tho
North, experience proved the contrary
of what Mr. Vallaudigham asserted.
lint Mr. Vallaudigham is for restoring
tho Union, amicably, of course, and it it
cannot be so done, then possibly ho is in
favor of recognizing our independence,
lie says any reconstruction which is not
voluntarily on our part 'would soon be
followed by another separation and a
worse war than the present one."
It is a pity this traitor is not arrested,
tried and punished tor his treason. Hut
be s.'i vt". as useful a purpose for the
country, perhaps in leading democratic
moiMing, and making democratic plat
forms. It would scrim that a party
which had the slightest particle of dis
cretion would carefully expel such men
as Vallaudigham from its ranks; but in-
Pennsylvania they have nominated such
a man for Governor ; ami all over the
country I ho Seymours, Woods, Vallnn
dighams and Pcndletons turn up mana
gers ot democratic conventions.
THE DOOR KCR THE CAPITOL.
The great Washington door for tho
'new Capitol nt Washington is' being
liiii-hod at tho Amos works in Chicopoe,
where two entire-years have been spent
upon it. Many of tho panncls are al
ready completed, and tho work is prog
ressing as last as its peculiar complexity
will allow. Designed by the lamented
Crawford, just previous to bis death, it
was h's chef di'.nuvre. Had ho surviv
ed undoubted tho contract for casting
would havo gono to Munich liko its pre
decessor, tho Columbus, historic door,
su.-h was his prejudice against his coun
try in this respect.
The massive door has eight panels,
four on a side, emblem itio respectively
of peace and war. On the side devoted
to peace, commencing ot tho bottom, is
a group of Washington and liis family,
representing tho peaceful condition of
the country at the close ct the Hovolu
tionury struggle Next abovo is the
ovation at Trenton, than a scene repre
senting tho admission of tho oath of
Office, and crowning this section is the
layer of the cornerstone of the Capitol
building. The war tide has first a pan
ned symbolizing tho stern ideal of deadly
strife a Hritish grenadier fully armed,
attacking a peaceful farmer, near a rude
log cabin wliosn sinewy arm has already
sent him reeling to tho ground, while
the stalwart yeoman's wife is seen hand
ing her husband his trusty firelock, in
case ho should need it. Above this is
the Dayon.t charge nt Trenton then
the Hebuko of General Lee by Wash
ington, nt Monmouth and finally tho
Death of General Warren. The pannel
representing the reprimand of General
Leo is n most striking and life-like scene,
Washington had always it seems, sus
pected Leo of disloyalty, and on this
occasion found that ho had not only
failed utterly to carry out his express
orders, but had actually ordered and
commenced a most cowardly retreat.
Washington is seen as having ridden
rapidly to whore ho meets Leo under a
tree, and lismg in the stirrups of his sad
die, ndininigtt-rs a rebuke that droops tho
j traitor's head as much as Lee's military
salute to his chieftain has his sword.
It is said that this was tlio only instance
in which Washington was ever known
to use language oven bordering on pro
fanity. Tho singular thing about this
particular panned is that Jefl Davis was
ono of tho commissioners to examine
Crawford's designed tor his historic and
conspicuous piece of work for the new
Capitol the woudor, being that ho, or
any other Southern man, should have
'consented to emblazon this withering
shame on ono ot the most chivalrio sons
of the South. Yet so it is and let the
sympathizer with his fitting rcprescnta
live, in the person of Hobort E. Lee,
remember the prophecy of tho pannel,
and its historic verification to-day.

Our good, old, nuti-war, Copperhead
Democratic party- in Pennsylvania, is
having a very troublesome timo with its
"omnibus load" ot allies, tho special
friends of "My Policy." Their new
leader, Senator Cowan, insists that Hols
ter Clymer shall withdraw from the
Democratic candidacy for Governor, and
soino such party-betrayer as Mr. Cowan
take tho nomination., Mr. Clymer is too
much ot a Deinocrnt for these supporters
of "My Policy" hence their desire to
have a candidate who will suit tho few
purchasables Cowan expects to tako with
him, This schenw is the soureo of much
trouble and ami Dynnce to thu Cop'leadors,
who do not wish to give up their favor
ite candidate, Mr. Clymer. They contend
that course would demoralize their parly
moro than any possible advantage it
would r ceiyo from Iho support of Mr.
Cowan.
To our parly this is a matter of entire
indifference Gen. Geary can beat (he
two tactions, no matter who they may
chose to unite on. Mr. Clymer, in our
judgment, will bo no easier beaten thnti
any other candidato, in spito of his cop
perhead recrni. Uut Gen. Geary, if ho-j
lives, will just as certainly bo the next
Governor as Gov. Curiin now is. So lot
Cupperhoads and two-headed Hepubli

Til K iiUKOl'KAN SITUATIOxT
The latest news from Europo is to tho
effect that, as it dernier resource a Con
gress is to assemble in Paris on the 10th
inst., under tho presidency of M
Daoi vndk L'Ht vs,' who is Napoi.hon's
foreign minister. Tho parties repres
ented ate to be France, England,
Prussia, Austria and Italy. Tho object
is to try and effect a peaceful solution ol
the difficulties-between the three last
named Powers, which threaten to even
tuate in immediate war. It is said that
shonlil" Austria not send a representative
to this Cougi.ess, England and Kussia
will act for her. It is not certain indeed,
that Prussia and Italy had accepted
the invitation to this Congress. If any
good come out of it, it held, wo shall be
surprised. Three great European Slates
are in arms to carry out.
"The simple plan,
That they should tube who havo tho power,
And they should- Imi who can."
A list i in keeps lloulsleiii and Venetiu,
and Prussia is resolved lo lake the tlrst
while Itally appropriates I ho latter
Houlstem d- es'not belong either to Aus
tria or to Prussia, but actually to Den

naturally a part of Lilly, and ought to bo
restored to that kingdom particularly
ns the Veterans hatu their Austrian
taskmasters, and earnestly desire to pass
from the rule of tho Emperor Fkancis-Josi-.i'ii
to that of King Vicroit Emman.
ri'.i.. What is more, the rest of Italy has
determined that Venotia shall no longer
remain under a foreign yoke, and, even
should a Congress determiuu otherwise,
the will ot Itally has to bo carried out.
Happen what may, it is scarcely to be
expected that Venetiu can remain nn
Austrian appanage. It is easy to see,
trom a careful consideration of tho prom
ises, that, though a Congress may put
off tho European war for a few weeks, it
will scarcely bo able to do moro. It may
delay, but can scarcely prevent it.
BEECHER AND TILTOJf!
Beecher and Tilton had an amusing
Bkirmish lately. The Plymouth congre
gation were considering the question of
raising means to erect a Congregational
church in Washington, where it is sup
posed to he peculiarly needed. Uoeoher
had studiously avoided all rcferenco to
political inattors, when Tilton being
loudly called for, entered tho pulpit nnd
himply said that ho was greatly interest,

and added that he had spent soino liino
in Washington, nnd with all duo defer
ence to his friend Beecher, hu could say
that hu had heard just Osgood preaching
in that benighted city ns he ever had in
Brooklyn, nnd what was more, tho
'Washington sermons were a great deal
sounder in d political way than tho reoent
utterances of Plymouth pulpit. Tui
ended Tilton's speech, whereupon ho
goodliumoredly gave tho Hev. Beoclior
