DEAR Sin: We have been instructed by num-
Der Of the Democratic citizens of the City Of Phil
adelphia to communicate their desire TO give you
a public dinner in token Of their high appreciation
Of your services as Chairman Of the Democrats
State Central Committee Of Pennsylvania in tho
management OF the late political canvass, and Of
their belief that to your energy and untirng zeal
in the organization Of our Democratic masses in
no small degree may be attributed the signal tri-
umph which that party achieved over the corrupt
Radical forces which have long oppressed and
disgraced the Keystone State. That victory may
be regarded the cause and precursor of the sub
ssquent triumphs Of the Democracy in New York,
New Jersey and other States, and by these the
future is made bright with hope for the Union
the Constitution and the laws.
Hoping that your engagements viii not interfere
with the wishes Of those we represent, and that
you will name a day which it will suit You to
meet your fellow citizens as proposed, We are, i.
Very respectfully,

redeemed from Radical rule, (says the
Philadelphia Age of the 2sth ult. }
several hundred leading Democrats CT
Philadelphia came together, and twas
unanimously agreed that much of the
credit of the victory was due to the
energy and ability of tho Hon. VIM.
A. Wallace, Chairman of tho State
Central Committee, and that a com
plimentary dinner should be rendered
to that gentleman, as mark OF appre-
citation for his valuable services. For
the purpose of carrying out that in
tention, a committee was appointed,
and the following correspondence
took place:
