one Of his Senators in Congress declares
that it will be the duty of the Senate, in

on the floor Of the Senate! We published,

THE COUNTRY COUPLE.

Do you remember, Mary, dear,
As you pass through the porch,
A good old country couple in
The first pew of the church
He walks on clutches as he come
Adown the dusty way
She wears queer old bonnet, he
"A coat of homespun gray assi
She always brings with her sprig
Of lavender or sage;
They read the church response. in
The broken tone of age.
IT'S said their early life was like
Some strange and wild romance
His heart the eagles courage shared,
His eye the eagles glance.
And she--ah who could dream it now?
Was beautiful and fair;
With radiant eyes, and ruby lips,
And sunny waves of hair.
She stood amid the maiden throng,
The lovely and the good,
As mid the beauties of the east,
The Jewish Esther stood.
They loved as few e'er love on earth
You smile and look away;
You're thinking of her bonnet, and
His coatOf homespun gray
They loved as fewer e'er loved on earth,
With undivided heart;
But there are spirits stern and cold
And they were forced to part.
The maiden sighed for him she loved,
And grew as slight, as pale, s
As beautiful as shadows make
The lilly of the vale.
She sighed by day, ard wept by night
r You should not be SO gay;
You're thinking of her bonnet, and
His coat of hsmespun gray.
But, one night, when the fowery bells
Swung on each airy stalk,
form, as noiseless as the breeze,
Passed down the garden walk
Passed down the garden walk-but paused
Before the open gate;
She knew who, mid The linden trees,
Had DrT, miSad bo would 49,.
They fastened through the dewy fields,
And, with The rising sun, ~
bridal ring cleaned on her hand
Those two fond hearts were one
They have known joys and griefs since first
They were so wildly wed
The cherished forms God gave them, all
Are numbered with the dead.
And now they live alone, and watch
The swift years glide away:
She wears that queer old bonnet, he
" That coat of homespun gray.
And sometimes, as I watch them in
s Their wide, old-fashoned pew,
| think how time will deal with me
How it may deal with you.
A few short years. and we no more
Shall thus be young and gay;
You'll wear some queer old bonnet,
Some coat of homespun gray.
But, OF, whatever trials come,
Whatever sorrows fall,
Though grace ana joy with youth depart,
Yet love shall live through all.

The Position of Gen. Grant.

Thespeech of Congressman Washburne at
Galena, H., in which he defines Grant po-
htical status as in entire accord with the
Republican party, deserves attention, mas
much as Mr.. Washburne is an old personal
intimate. friend with Gen. G. Mr. Wash
burne states that Gen. Grant was an old
Whig. His father, so well known in GA
lena, was always an active and influential
member of the Wing party, and after it
went out of existence, Of the Republican
party. The General was always Whig,
so far as he was politician at all, and new
er belonged to or had any sympathy with
the Democratic party.
Gen. Grant was openly and strongly for
both Constitutional amendments, and hail
ed the reconstruction act of the Thirty
ninth Congress as solution of our difficul-
ties, and he entered upon the discharge of
his duties under that act with zeal, vigi-
lance and fidelity. Sympathizing with Con
gress in its action, and appreciating the i'm
portance ofits being in session, he urged
and advised such action as would secure an
extra session, if necessary When that ses-
sion came he expressed the most serious
fears of the effect of a long Adjournment,
and, with far reaching sagacity, anticipa-
ting the precise sta te of things that has oc-
cured, he used all his influence with Sena-
tors to have them adopt the House provis-
ION OF the amended bill, requiring the assent
OF the Senate to removal of the. District
Commanders Favoring the reconstruction
acts, no effort Of his has been wanting to Sc
cure their enforcement in letter and spirit.

The Result in PENNSYLVANIA.

The official returns, So far as received, in
dicate that the defeat of JUDGE Williams is
wholly the result of the greater apathy per-
vading the ranks of the Republican party
for the Democracy did not even poll near SO
many votes as they did in 1866 And hence,
the Democratic gains, as they are termed,
are but relative, not absolute-only appa-
rent, because there was less falling off in
their vote, than in that of the Republican.
There are as many, yea more Republican
voters in Pennsylvania to-day than ever be-
fore, but many thousands did not feel sufi-
clent interest in the contest to induce them
to quit their work and go to the polls Had
these thousands remembered their duty to
their country-to the surviving heroes of
the war-and to the widows and orphans OF
the fallen defenders of the Union, and vot-
ed, we would now be rejoicing over our usual
large majority But, the stay at home vo-
ters cut that majority down to little below
nothing, and we must be content with the
result as it is-only resolving that we will
not again be caught mapping at our posts.
Taking proper view Of the election in
Pennsylvania, we do not see that the De-
mocracy has gained any permanent advan-
tage in the result of this contest Their sue
cess is only transitory. 1t does not denote a
Democratic victory-onlya relaxing of vigi-
lance on the part of the Republicans that
is all. And, ere many months roll by, We
will again see the Republican party firmly
cemented together, in the same common
treason, and once more zealously working
for the one common object-the perpetuity
of the Union and our free institutions
The watclfword of the Republican party,
at its inception, was "Onward!" !" And,
whether we encounter an armed rebel host
upon the battle field, or contend against the
usurpations and power of perfdious and
recreant President, or repel the sophistries
and false accusations of an unscrupulous and
willy political enemy, still our watchword is
Onward !" True, our recent slight poiti-
cal reverse has caused US to halt moment
and review our situation, as did the Union
army after the battle of heWilderness; but,
the smoke of the skirmish will soon clear
away-the rank and file of the party will
again stand shoulder to shoulder-they will
choose worthy standard bearer and leader
and then, once more, will be heard their
well-known shout of Onward p as they 90
marching on to victory!
Then, let US look upon our defeat at this
time in the light Of a lesson-as a warning,
before we enter upon the great Presidential
battle of 1868, that We must be more united,
more vigilant, more jealous, more active,
and more determined in our efforts to main
tain the integrity of the Union and the per-
nanency of the Constitution, if we desire
to be successful in that all-important politi-
cal contest. Republicans we trust you
will heed this warning, and profit by it.

1862 and 1867.

The following article from the Pittsburg
Gazette, contains some interesting historical
facts. which we commend to the careful pc
rusai of our readers:
In 1862 the Democrats carried New York
by 10, 752, and elected II members Of Con
gress to IA Reput licans. New Jersey by
IA, 597, and elected 4 members to | Repub
liean. Pennsylvania by 1924, and elected
Is members TO II Republicans. Ohio by
5,577, and elected IA members to 5 Repub
licans. Indiana by 9,543, and elected I
members to 4 Republicans. Illinois by l6,-
546, and elected 9 members to Republi-
cans. Michigan by 6,6l4, and gained l
member Then our armies were in the field,
Emancipation was in prospect, Republicans
had to breast all the recoii current of that
public sentiment turned aside by the annull-
ing OF Fremont proclamation. They had
defeats, disasters, mistakes and betrayals to
contend against Their leader was more
viliied and ridiculed than any public man
had ever been Their enemies were wild
with enthusiasm The rebels struck with
renewed vigor and assurance of victory. The
London Times assumed that nothing could
bring peace but a recognition Of the Confed-
crate States Mr. Gladstone said Jefferson
Davis had created nation. The Democrats
held a jubilee in Philadelphia, at which our
soldiers were said to be fighting ''in patient
submission to the inexorable law which
drags them from their homes, and that
the Democracy now present to the world an
unbroken phalanx of kindred souls, that
they can never be enslaved, and that the
habeas corpus is the sheet anchor of their
hopes. Mr.. Lincoln was pronounced "a
tyrant' who had come into power with "hea-
then oathS, and was nightmare to his
country" Mr.. Ingersoll proposed Ma
tional Convention for the refrigeration of
our individual freedom and our State rights,
and rs some hope of restoring the Union,
of which there was not the remotest chance
by any other means. Mr.. Reed, more di-
plomatic, said the North was weary of
debt and taxati on, of the tax collector and
the recruiting sergeant, weary of the ambu-
lance of the wounded and the hearse of the
dead, and would hail with ecstacy beyond
control the hour when flags of truce should
be displayed at Washington and Richmond !"
He called upon the next Legislature to ''be-
come the grand inquest for indicting all
who had dared to take prominent part in
the war But the nation was not lost. The
clouds which darkened the horizon swiftly
vanished, and bright victories, followed in
rapid succession on the field where thous-
ands Of brave hearts were battling, and at
home, where the silent ballot gave evidence
that the people were still arrayed on the
side of Truth, Right and Justice. So to-
day, as in 1862, the cloud lowers, but it por-
tends no disaster The people see its silver
edges and hopefully await the bright gleam
Of sunlight which will stream through to
warm and gladden. the heart Of the nation
at the forthcoming Presidential election.

The Result in OlearGeld County.


By reference to the official returns of this
county, published to-day, it will be seen that
the Democracy polled 2, 40 votes for Shars-
wood, and the Republicans. ] All for VIII
liams-leaving a majority of 1868 for
Sharswood. In 1866 Clymer had 2, 7s6 votes
in the county, and Geary l,65O-Clymcr' s
majority 1856. Sharswood's majority over
Clymer l27. This increase in majority, how
ever, IS not the result of any change in the
opinions of Republican voters, or of their
going over to the Democracy, but is owing
entirely to the apathy existing in the Re
publican ranks, as will appear on contrast
ing the vote of 1866 and 1867 Netwith-
standing the heavy influx of Irish voters
along the railroad, the Democrats, this year,
polled but .. 740 votes for Sharswood, while
they polled 2,7S6 for Clymer in lS66-show-
ing loss of 46 votes. The Republicans
polled l AT votes for Williams, and $50
for Geary-showing loss of 173. Repub-
lican loss over Democratic, I27. Thus, it
will be seen that, the increased majority for
Sharswood is wholly the fault of the stay
at-home Republicans, who, alone, are re-
sponsible for the result in this county, and
for the share they contributed towards the
defeat of Judge Williams.
