Great Oak Hall." It is one of the
lnlliest little books we ever saw full of
fun, side-splitting pictures and capital
jokes. It is a good thing to have about
the house or, as it is made to nicely fit
in the pocket, it is just what is often

Democratic Meeting. A large and
c nthusia.stio Democratic mectin;: was
held in the Court House last evening.
Judge Dickinson was called to the chair
and J. K. P. Hall and J. F. Moore,
were elected Secretaries. Hon. Wm.
Uigler being called upon addiessed the
nudience in his clear, ar'nimeiitative
manner. Tho spoiker was interrupted
frequently by terrific applause
After Mr. Biiiler had concluded
Dan. Rice of Erie entertained the aud
ience, in his usually humorous style
civiiisr some eood illustrations. The
Col. is a great friend of the soldier and
urges the necessity of sustaining the
present Administration against the Rad
icals.
Wm. A. Galbraith of Erie was next
called upon to address the meeting, but
was not present. The meeting then ad.
journed.
t&" Gen. Rogers, ot Arkansas, one
of the "loyal Southerners" in the Geary
al-wool convention, wishes it understood
through the New York Ha ul I, that he
"withdraws from that mixed trat'icrinir
of shiftless, ambitious blacks and women
in breeches." He says that he is gone
with that body even iarttier tian ins
own views could justify, and "he washes
his hands, from this time forth, of its
proceed in us. J oo much wool lor the
General.
ESi?" The all-wool convention used the
same gravel with which the South Caro
lina secession convention of 18G0 was
called to oidcr. It would be ou heir

To the Citizens op Uihard and

Your letter, pioposing to rnn me for
Congress, is received. I would indeed
be insensible to the commonest impulses'
of humanity were I not tilled with- the
warmest scntimcntof cratitude for tho
friendly expressions and personal re.
gard that your letter contains, signed as
it is by Republicans and JJeiuoorats,
whom I know to be staunch supporters
of the Government, and many who have
risked their lived for the preservation
of the Union, buch distinguished con
sideration overcomes every natural ob
jection I may have for political, honors,
consequently l do accept ot your kind
invitation to allow my name to be used,
but with the understanding that I am
not to bo tho standard-bearer of either
political party (Republicans or Demo
crats) but if nominated it must be by a
People's Convention, as I belong to the
people. I hey are my trieuds and pa.
trons, and in justice to them, composed
as they are of all shades of political
opinions, I must continue to live ia their
esteem, and labor to promote their hap.
piucss and interests which has been the
