that which yer party succeeds in th'
elections this fall, Pennsylvania is bound
to have a Democratic Governor.
The Republican platform in Pennsyl
vania makes frantic effort to endorse
both President JOHNSON and the Dis

for his course during the rebellion and
exhorts him to stand firmly by the 10y

the same time, expresses the most rad

It is a little singular that in all these

The Battle of Ridgway, Canada.

A correspondent of the Herald, writing
from Buffalo, New York, who witnessed
the late fight between the Fenians and the
Queens forces at Ridgeway, describes it
as being a very spirited engagement. It
appears that the former were composed of
veterans, who served in our late civil
troubles, and their behavior in the recent
encounter with the troops in Canada, was
equal to their best performances during
our late desperate and protracted conflict
The great pity is that such bounding valor
as these Fenians exhibited at Ridgeway,
should be thrown away on hope so ut
terly forlorn, as is their present enterprise.
Says the correspondent alluded to, after
describing some little skirmisbing:
E'On one side of the road was fence,
which the Fenians tore down, and then
advanced into the field, where they form
ed in line of battle, Gen. John O'Neil
being in command, assisted by Gel. Starr
and Colonel OBrien. The volunteers ad-
vanced down the road and into the field,
about three quarters of a mile above the
Fenians. In a few moments the action
commenced, skirmishers on either side
exchanging brisk fire. The order was
then given for the Fenian skirmishcrs to
fall back The main bodies on both sides
fired several times, when the Fenians
advanced at double quick with fixed bay
onets. AS the volunteers were ranged in
the orchard on the other side of a swamp,
and separated from the Fenians by a thick
brush wood, Gen. O'Neill saw that con-
tinuing upon the charge while they occu-
pied SO good position was useless, and
so gave the order to fall back The vol
unteers believing this a retreat, advanced
/ out of their shelter at run. The Feni-
ans then returned the charge and the vol
unteers gave way, retreating rapidly in
the direction of Ridgeway, the Fenians

PooR GEARY.-It is a most remarka-
bic fact that, of the thousands who shoul-
dered their muskets and left Philadelphia
TO engage in the late war, we have not
yet heard of or spoke with corporars
guard who intend to vote for Geary.-
They all have the same opinion of him,
and that is certainly not a very enviable
one. And what is still more remarkable,
those who originally went out with our
modern Bombastes, and those who were
unfortunate enough to be placed under his
command during the war, are the most
bitter in their denunciation of him. 1t is
only those who do not k17o,C the man, that
may be induced to vote for him. If, how
ever, the Abolition candidate was really
a soldier, and could actually produce the
record of his prowess. the men-or rather
the military apologies-he has around
him, headed by the VIGOROUSLY incompe
tent Josh. Owens, would politically damn
any man, though he were as pure as
snow and as brave as Hector. Only think
