responded IN & speech Tepletc Tltn beautiful
imagery and impressive gems of thought. I
here had fine opportunity OF seeing and hear
ing him while he was "warrncd up" with the
lTo of enthusiastic liberty o. and I need but
say was hstonished, yet pleased The ladies
presented him IN address and each contributed
dollar to the 50 Fund" The :" Banquet" took
place on Friday at Herr's Hotel tickets SIS each
Gov. Johnston made powerful speech and was
loudly applauded; Speaker Rhey also spoke
and his remarks upon the occasion are univer-
sally commended; Kossuth made what might
well be called set speech and it is conceded
that he far surpassed al previous efforts. During
his stay ia this town about $1,000 were contribu-
ted to the ss sKossuth Fund.- but the general
impression is that the people can do as they
please while the policy Of our government is to
preserve q strict neutrality in the affairs Of
foreign governments and teach the nations of the
/ old world BY moral persuasion. The people
make too much of the man and many already
beginning to regret the active part they have
taken in the matter. Kossuth left on Saturday
morning and understand remained over Sunday
at Lytle's @' Mountain House." where, learn,
he rendered himself unpopular by his arbitrary
and dictatorial conduct. He is, undoubtedly,
very excitable' and dictatora for witnessed
meeting between him and a gentleman of this
place at which the latter invited him to address
rhe ''people" of Harrisburg at some public place
and had cause to form such an opinion
To change the theme would inform you that
party of ladies and gentlemen, among which
was your humble servant took two-horse-
sleigh-ride to Carlisle on Friday afternoon and
intended returning same evening, but upon ar
rival in that beautiful town the ''crowd" were
waited upon by deputation Of Carlisle gentle
men and requested to accompany them to a
little dance tonight" about six miles off at
Papertown- Thinking that the acceptance would
favor Us with an opportunity to become ac-
quainted with the fair beauties Of Carlisle and
the very clever, obliging gentlemen of that place
We concluded to 90 and an hours ride through q
magnificent snow storm brought our jaded hor-
ses, our snow clad coats and hats and almost
frozen selves TO the desired spot here met
my very esteemed contemporary John B. Brat
ton, Esq, of the Volunteer, and l found him 4
gentleman, accommodating, sociable and printer
ike-became acquainted with the ladies and
gentlemen assembled and we all enjoyed our
visit danced all night till broad daylight and
took ourselves and the gals home in the morning
Ike the town, the pc, pie and the style of their
soirees, reminding one Of good old times in Cam
bria.
On Saturday evening Gov. Bigler and lady,
accompanied by Col. Barrett and Judge France
Of CIearfeld arrived in town and re-established
the excitement which had in q manner subsidized
upon the departure Of Kossuth. The Governor
is looking remarkably well and in fine spirits,
notwithstanding those "sheves" that it was in
tended to work out of Clearfeld boards last Oc-
tober, but thanks TO the log the knots were too
plenty to allow '.clear shelf" to be blocked
out of Clearfeld pine Gov. Bigler and Gov.
Johnston attended the . Printers Festival on
Saturday evening at Tyeth Hall, and both made
speeches which were enthusiastically applauded,
more SO however was the speech Of the former.
General Packer, Senator Matthias and f. W.
Hughes, Esq, the newly appointed Secretary of
the Commonwealth, addressed the banquet and
their remarks were well received
Sunday went up to Carlisle in the cars, but
on account of the storm was obliged to come
back in four horse sleigh with full load, the
cars not being able to run.
The great event of the season took place yes
terday, namely the Inauguration of Gov. Bigler.
The concourse Of people was immense. Long
before the hour of twelve o'clock the Hall of the
House of Representatives was crowded with
ladies and gentlemen-the ladies occupying the
seats of the members and other most favorable
positions. To stranger glorious opportunity
was presented to see of what material the fairest
portion of humanity in this section is composed,
and l must say that in looking under the sea OF
bonnets that were in view, the eye could not fail
to observe the general beauty of the face, the
winning smile of woman, bright, beaming, lus
trous, sparkling eyes, at every glance piercing
through the very soul of a rugged mountaineer
while the mouth, the true emblem of expression,
seemed formed by its creator TO elicit mans
warmest admiration. The ladies of Harrisburg
are the kind to kill fellows heart and if get
away from here whole and entire mark wonder.
Gov. Bigler was sworn by the Speaker of the
Senate and the inward exclamation from the
heart of every Democrat was, 60 thank God and
our good Democratic work once more ace have
Governor" The military were all introduced
upon the floor of the House and al the commence
ment of the " Inaugural Address - the uproar
near the door was subsided and all was stiffness.
The Governor made what l consider a great ad-
dress and every one in the Democratic ranks
cannot but endorse its every word. He spoke
