Ihe Irenty-niRM annual Meeting of the
fennsylyania Ant-Slavery Society will be
held in the city of Philadelphia, in the Hall
OF the Franklin Institute, No. Is South
Seventh Street, ON Thursday and Friday,
November 22d and 23d. The Executive
Committee cordially invite their coadiutors
IN other States, and all true friends of free
dom, TO attend and participate in the de-
liberaiions OF the meeting. The subjects
which will chiefly occupy the consideration
OF the Society are so entirely national in
their character and of such vital impor
lance, that the Meeting, though the Ami
versary OF a Pennsylvania Society, will be
an occasion of interest to all true patriots
both North and South.
The imminent dangers which beset tho
cause OF universal freedom in our land, on
one hand from the unrepentant and defiant
rebels and their supple tool in the Presidun-
tial chair, and on the other hand, by the com
promising policy of the best political party
in the nation, warn the friends of the colored
man to be visiant, lest, in this momentous
crisis, his rights, his real freedom, be again
sacrificed, as they have so often been, in an
attempt TO secure a false peace and an arli
fetal Union.

The Election in Biimington.- cleo
lion in Wilmington, on Tuesday passed OIL
without any serious disturbance The polls
were surrounded by an unusually large
number of persons, and both parties made
strenuous efforts to poll their entire vote,
and no doubt succeeded in accomplishing it.
The result under the circumstances is pc
culiarly gratifying to Union men, showing
that the old metropolis of Delaware is
firmly and thoroughly loyal, and that Cop
perhcadism, although it may achieve success
in the State, can never triumph in Will
mington.

SAMUEL M. HARRINGTON, ESQ
However disastrous to our hopes and eN-
pectations may have been the result of the
recent election in thus State, the Republican
party cannot fail to acknowledge its obliga-
lions 10 the estimable young gentleman
whose name heads this article, for the
earnest incessant, laborious services he ren-
dered the party as Chairman of the State
CentrSl Committee during the progress of
the campaign.
his constant devotion to the interests Of
the party, hisuntiring industry, and the unsx-
ampled assiduity with which lie applied all
his energies to the success of the great cause
OF Loyalty and Freedom, were observed
and admired by his friends not only, but
received the highest cOmmendation and ap-
plause of the whole party throughout the
State. BY night and by day, in good report
and in adverse report, he stood firmly to his
post, and by a systematic course OF action
drew together into one aim and one purpose
the various plans of an unorganized but
harmonious .and Jealous party. Assisted
and encouraged by some of the finest talent
and industry in the persons of several young
Delawareans who rendered great service to
the cause, he gave himself up entirely to the
work Of rescuing our State from the hands
OF its enemies and placing it once more on
the side of the Union And if he has failed
OF success commensurate with the Herculean
labors he put forth to win ii, it is because ii
has not been possible to out-vote our ad-
versaries and drive them from the field by
the force of superior numbers, and not from
lack of effort or Indifference to the impor
tance of victory.
In the name, therefore, of the great Re
publican party of Delaware, we thank Mr..
HARRINGTON for the ability and zeal he dis.
played in its behalf, and assure him his self
sacrificing devotion in the interest OF Human
Freedom, Universal Liberty and the perpetu-
ity of the American Union will be duly ap.
preciated and remembered

OUR CAxDIDATE Fon sHERIrF.


Our candidate for Sheriff, Samuel Allen
Esq, has been defeated by eleven majority.
Several causes conspired to produce this
result Our opponents told, in some parts of
the county, the most vile falsehoods against
him, which did much to procure votes for
Mr.. Herbert. Another thing that tended
towards defeating Mr. Allen was the intro
duction of charges against Mr. Herbert in
reference to matters entirely foreign to the
canvass. 1t had the effect of securing Mr..
Herbert many votes from among his per,
sonal friends IN the Union party, who
would otherwise have supported Mr.. Allen.
Mr.. Allen is gentleman of the highest
respeciability, and thoroughly loyal man.
We regret that he was not successful

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-We have good
authority for saying that Gen. Grant,
up to this hour, has not received word
touching the reported entrance of Gen
Scdgwick into Matamoras, and opera
tions around that city. Con. Grant
received Il letter from Gen. Sheridan
dated Nov. Goth, after the reported en-
try into Matamoras, in which he says
he has ordered Gen. Scdgwick not to
make his proposed movement as it was
entirely disapprovcd of. If the move
mcnt was made, Gen. Scdgwick has
been placed under arrest and will be
punished.
General Sheridan, it is believed,
reached Brownsville on Tuesday last.
such was his destination, as stated in

believed here that General Seagwick in
tended any wrong, but if he entered
