the Philadelphia convention to compensate
| you at once for forgetfulnesS and forgive
ness so unnatural This is the one great
| question to be answered on the 9th Of DC
| tOber next. We once more realize the WIS
| dom that cOunselled the nomination OF Gen.
John W. Geary as the Union candidate for
! Governor With his splendid military re-
| cord, his thorough political experience, and
his spotless personal character, he will lead
US to a complete victory.
A new calamity has lien upon Mr. ely
mer, his competitor. Originally Wing,
he became a member Of the Democratic
party to reach Office in a Democratic coun-
". Following out a mistaken and selfish
Judgment, he believed obedience to Democ-
racy was hostility to country and so
when the rebellion came, forgetting all his
Whig antecedents, he achieved the bad
eminence Of enrolling himself among the
Hympathizers with treason. The conven-
ton which met at Philadelphia, composed
i'll large part Of recent insurgents and
Democrats, accomplished the ruin Of the
Democratic party and Mr.. Clymer at the
same. time, by an act of fei0 de Sc as awk-
ward as it was unexpected. In the grave
dug by the new Copperjohnson party lie
entombed all the hopes, the fears, the am
bitions, and the hates of Hester Clymer
and the old Democracy. No wonder that
the cry has gone forth that a candidate so
calamtous should yield before his all-con-
quering rival Geary is, in fact, the only
real Democrat in the field, representing lib
erty in its most enlightened and practical
sense liberty to all the races of man ;
liberty of thought; liberty Of lction ; the
liberty that anticipates and guards the fu-
ture by throttling faction and treason in
the present the liberty that defends the
national credit, protects the national honor,
rewards the national soldier compensates
the national widow and orphan, and restores
and unites all the States on the basis Of
ardent and constant obedience and subor-
dination to the Government Of our fathers
Representing this sublime and undying
idea, John W. Geary's election as Cover
nor of Pennsylvania is as certain as the
overwhelming defeat Of HieSter CIymer aud
the perpetual triumph OF Republican prin-
ciples

SPEECH OF GOVERNOR OGLESBY.

CHICAGO, August 15-The grand excurs-
ion and picnic Of the Irish-Republcan Asso.
ciation came of to-day at Haas Park, nine
miles west Of this city. Not less than l5,-
600 persons in all were present, fair por-
ton Of whom were FeniAns and their
friends but the chief attraction was the
announcement that Governor Oglesby,
Speaker Colfax, and General Logan would
make addresses. The weather was propit-
ious and the assemblage orderly. At u
P. NJ. Governor Oglesby was introduced,
and received with great applause
He said : | came here AS the Governor Of
this great free State TO tell you what |
think concerning universal liberty. In this
free country, where we have no kings, no
queens, no autocrats, there Is no right of
rebellion against the government Of the
people. On the lst day Of June, 1866, in
spircd by a love Of adventure, left my
home and crossed the ocean, to study for
myself the nations Of the Old World. The
first green spot met was the old Emerald
Isle. TCheers. | went ashore at Dublin
to see how Irishmen looked in Ireland
Cheers | went down to St. Patrick street
and travelled all over Dublin. Then l took
car with an Irishman to drive land ex-
plored the whole country adjacent ! went
to Cork and thence to KILLARNEY smile
and the tear OF Ireland. There | scent
three delightful days, and after returning
the.ce to Dublin, travelled .or six weeks

At this moment General Logan arrived

spect, You shall be addressed today bv
candid men at least. Wherever | travel
led in ireland met no man or woman, high
or low, whose heart was not attached to lib
erty. As l saw the poor Irish women work
ing in the fields for five or ten cents
day, and strong men without any home
without any Ireland even to love,
| found a population downcast, who
turned their eyes toward Heaven and thank
ed God there was the free land of America

ter why he hoped Ireland would ever be-

FINE STORE ROoM.-The new store
room Of Mr.. John Ross, on the corner
Of Main and Franklin streets, is the
finest business room in this section of
the state, and, when completed, will
be an honor 70 our town. The shelving
will be up and the room ready for use
by the close of the present week. Mr..
Ross, we believe, intends engaging in
the wholesale and retail grocery busi-
ness, and as he is one of our most thor
ough-going, energetic, pcrsevering
business men, as well as an upright,
honorable and liberal-minded citizen,
we predict for him that success TO
which his wcll-known merits entitle
him.

FIRE WoRKs.-On Tuesday and
"Wednesday nights, the 18th and l4th
of the present month, there is TO be
great shower Of meteOrs. Professor
Newton of Yale College, who has de-

WANTED.-We want more houses
built in Winchester. 1t is next to inn
possible to obtain any thing like a
comfortable residence, and as for busi-
moss houses, there are none at all to be
had. Within the past few months, n
number Of strangers have visited our
town with the express view of locating
here and engaging in active business,
who have been compelled to leave
again and 20 elsewhere, because of n
want of suitable houses for their fami-
lies and fog business purposes. This is
certainly, to say the least, an undcsira-
bic state of affairs, and the evil should
be remedied. We do no not lack for
men of capital-men who have abun-
dance of means to enable them to build
dwelling houses and houses for bust
ness. We have number of this class
of men i'm our community. But what
We do lack is men of enterprise, backed
by capital; men who have the welfare
and prosperity of the town at heart;
men who do no not live i'm the world
for themselves alone, toiling, striving
and grasping, with the miser's grip,
the god of their adoration-gold. There
are in this community men who have
lived here for years, and have grown
rich upon the patronage of our people,
but have never erected building of
any description, whatever, within the
limits of the town or county. Lamen-
table as this fact may be, it is never
theless an uncontroverted truth. There
are also, men OF wealth among US who
own many of the most valuable and
most desirable building lots in the
heart of the town, upon which there
are either no buildings at all, or on
which is some old dilapidated wreck
. of a house of forty years or more ago,
standing reproach to the owners, and
a disgrace to the town. These Llen
viii neither improve this property
themselves, nor dispose ofone foot oft
tOothers who would. These, then, are
some of the reasons why men of cap
ital who come here to settle among us
and engage in business, are Obliged to
seek locations elsewhere. These, too,
are some of the reasons why Win
chester is no further advanced in point
of business enterprise and improve
ment.
