Weleafn from the Getty Star and
Sentinel that previous TO the late Octo-
Der election, tile Democracy Of t1at State
sounded" Major General Meade AZ to
his fitness for the Presidency. The poll
ticians presented the case very plausibly
and urged the General to become their
candidate. Hereplied substantially that
there were three difficulties In the way I:
First-He preferred his present posi-
tion--a Major General in the regular
army.
Sccond-He had no taste for the duties
Of the Presidency.
Third--He called himself Republic
lican, and intended voting the Republi-
can ticket at the October election.
The COMMITTEE" were satisfied that
nothing could he done, and left ip deep,
but, deserved humiliation, The hero OF
our r'gr@n batHe Is faithful to.the flag, and
the principles for which he fought.

A SERIES sofinteresting meetings were
held in the Presbyterian Church last
week, and are being continued through
the present week. Rev. j. Cross, of
Wheeling, assisted the pastor up to last
Monday night. Mr.. Cross is a powerful
revivalist. His sermon to young men,
on Saturday evening, was one of the most
forcible and eloquent appeals we have
heard from the pulpit for many years.
The pastor of the church, Rev. Robert
Alexander, is laboring with great zeal,
and we are rejoiced TO know that lively
interest is being awakened in the con-
sregation. The sacrament of the Lord s
Supper will be commemorated on next
Sabbath. - -'-

Our advices in relation to the elections
held yesterday are meagre, but indicate
that the States that voted yesterday fol-
lowed the bad examples set them in Oc-
tober. E.r.i
New York is undoubtedly lost, owing
to the heavy majority against us in the
city. The Fenians have abandoned the
attempt to take Ireland. and Canada and
concentrated on New York city.
Massachusetts is all right, but by re-
duced majority. In that State the Dem
ocrats abandoned their organization, and
supported a grandson of John Quincy
Adams for Governor.
New Jersey seems to have returned to
her first love
Maryland is, of course, Rebel. j. y -
We have no news whatever from the
other States.

A LECTURE AsSoCIATIoN.-We have
heard discussed the practicahility of hav-
ing series of lectures delivered i'm St.
Clairsville during the Winter months
The project meets with favor on every
hand; but the practical question is:-
Would they be adequately sustained?-
We believe they would. There is large
population in and adjacent to st. Clairs-
vile who are hungry for refined and cul-
tivated entertainments. They are dis
gusted with the cheap itinerating shows
that visit lie every few weeks, and give
them wide berth; but a really merito-
rious entertainment OF any kind is al
ways well sustained. We confidently be-
lieve that, if our own citizens would or
ganize a Lecture Association and employ
first-class lecturers, they would be fully
sustained by our people.

can be nominated | think he will make a
good president, and we can elect him.
