Tho market quotations do not suit the
public temper; that much Is very evil

make them suit is the problem. All
kinds Of remedies and expedients are
put forth, just the same as during the
war. Most readers will recolleCt the
raid that was started in Washington
and New York in 1863, against imported
fabrics of all sorts. Domestic women's
wear was the rage for a few weeks at
all tho balls, parties and receptions.
British goods were tabooed in highly
respectable circles. 1t was made fash
ionable to appear only in American
dry goods. In this way some people
expected to decrease our imports, dis

Our senator.

In our papir this week We give the re-
marks of our Senator on the resolution Of
instructions offered in the Senate by Mr.
Landon, We believe. These remarks will
be read with interest by our people,
Had every Senatorial district in the State
a representative SO faithful and prompt,
little watching would do them. 1t is
with great pleasure we say that We have
noticed Mr.. Brownies course with much
interest, and have, on all occasions found
him among the foremost in the cause of
truth, His votes and speeches are fully
up to the sentiment of his constituents.
This is IS it should be. We have little
patience with those public men who are
always dragging their slow length along
at respectable distance in the rear of
public sentiment Such is not the case
with Senator Browne.

The Elections all Right.

The municipal elections in Now York
and elsewhere, had gone quite fav orable
to the Union cause. We were, therefore,
not surprised to learn that New Hamp-
shire haG gone all right, by an increased
majority of nearly three thousand. Our
majority has run up to over 5000
Both branches of Gho Legislature are
largely Republican. This is the key note
to the coming elections. Connecticut
will next speak. Her voice will have no
uncertain sound.
On Friday, last, elections were held
throughout rhis county. The result is all
that could be desired. Most of the dis
tricts have gone Republican. The Dem
ocratie majority in this borough was re-
duced, while in Butler township, but
lately strong hold of Democracy, and
never before going against them, we car
ried every thing from Overseers up to
Squire, by an average majority of about
20. 1t was amusing to see the haggard
looks of the leaders of the once defiant
but now much reduced party, as they,
one by one, retired from the contest
To his honor be it spoken, Squire M'Kee
was the last to give way. His stubborn
devotion to his cau.e compelled the re-
spect Of his victorious foes, who magnan.
imously allowed him, on h is surrender, to
retain his side arms, and finally let him
return home on his parole, not again to
take up arms against the national cause
Butler township has now won place
amongst the loyal districts of the county
and there she intends to remain. The
election board lie all right, which will in
sure fair election next fall. Everywhere
the signs are most propitious. Our par
| ty is gaining strength with the people
daily.

THE SITUATION.

During the great debate in which the
country is now engaged it is well to re-
member that temperance of tone and a
careful regard for truth are always pow
erful allies. We have lately had signal
illustrations of the folly of extrayagant
statements and personal separations; and
there can be no more paipable absurdity
than those who stood steadily together
against rebellion when rebellion was for
midable are now anxious and plotting to
surrender the Government to rebels de-
feated and disgraced. Yet these are
charges gravely made against such men
as Charles Sumner on the one hand, and
Andrew johnson on the other. Now
either or both of those gentlsmen may
be mistaken in the policy of reorganiza-
tion which they favor, but there. is surely
no reasonable ground for believing that
they are hostile u the Upion cf Govern

Gen. John w. Geary.

As most of our readers arc not person
ally acquainted with Maj. Gen. Geary,
and know but little of his early and pri-
vate history, we give the following inter.
esting article from the Pittsburgh Die
patch:
The Union State Convention have pla-
ced in nomination Gen. John w. Gcary,
of Westmorcland county. While our per-
sonal preference was for another candi-
date, we felt confident that, from the three
more prominent gentlemen spoken of for
the nomination, none could be chosen not
eminently fit for the position. Now that
choice has been made, it is well to in
form our readers who the individual is
who has been chosen to bear the tanner
of the Union in the Fall Campaign.
Gen John W. Geary was born in tho
neighboring county OF Westmoroland, and
is now about forty-seven years of age
His parents were of but small pecuniary
means, and became involved in debt, ow-
ing to the protracted illness of his faith
er previous to his death, leaving our sub.
ject to support his widowed mother from
the tittancs in those days accorded to one
who essayed to teach country school
but he succeeded in cancelling the debt
of his father, and, after acting for time
as clerk in Wholesale house in our city,
completed his education at Jefferson Col
lege, Canonsburg, Pa.
We next hear Of him in the employ Of
the State authorities, and also of the
Green River Improvement Company, as
civil engineer, in Kentucky, where he
assisted in the survey of several public
improvements--returning to his native
State to become, after some service in
subordinate positions. Superintendent
of the Portage Railroad, at that time the
connecting link between the canals on
either side of the Alleghenies.
His taste Tor mathematics early gave
him an inclination for military affairs, and
he took such an interest in our volunteer
militia, its proper organization and efic'
iency, that he was chosen to command the
brigade comprising the counties of Som
erset and Cambria.
Twenty years ago, on war arising with
Mexico, he had an opportunity of bring.
ing his military requirements into play

Connecticut.

The next State election takes place
early in April. Gen. Hawley is the Re
publican candidate for Governor, against
English Democrat. We have no doubt
of the result. Our usual majority is
about $500, although last year We car
ried the State by about IL ,OOOsmajority ;
but then the Democracy labored under
great disadvantage. The following is
from the World, and fully explains their
situation:
"The election last year, when Buck
ingham rolled up his II 900 majority may
be said to have gone by default. On the
very day of the election cannon were
firing over the whole State for the fall ol

The President and the Democ.
rReY.


President johnson seems to be some
what out of humor with the Pennsylva-
mia Democracy. 1t is asserted on what
We take to be good authority, that his
Excellsncy advised the managers Of that
concern to nominate either Gems. Han
cock or Meade, and that he pledged
himself in the event of their election
to give them three years leave of absen CO
so that they could take charge of the
Old Keystone, during the balance of his
term. Neither OF these gallant soldiers
would consent, however, to have their
laurels, SO nobly won, dimmed by afiilia-
tion with these SUNDAY" PATRIOTS
Whereupon the party put in nomination
one of its own favorites, leaving out of
sight expediency This, it is said has
worked terribly on the patience of the
President. Clymer is the Senator who
in '63 led the assault. upon Mr.. johnson,
when he sought to speak to the people
of Harrisburg, in the interest of the
union cause, denying the legitimacy OF
his appointment, declaring him to be a
mere suppliant at the throne of power,
&c. The President cannot forget all
