A large crowd assembled on the river

up Of the new steamer Potomac. They
were grsti6ed with the sight Il that ele-
giant steamer. The boat made tine ap.

THERE'S considerable discussion here with
regard TO the nomination Of Congress
man. In all the estimates Of the relative
strength Of the candidates, our township
is pIi down for Mr.. Welsh. Now this Is
entirely incorrect, IS proposition 70 in
struct The delegates was voted down by
the meeting. They were left unembar-
rAssed by any expression whatever, and it
is conceded here thai q canvass Of the
meeting would not have resulted in Mr..
WelalI's favor. No man in the county u
probably more respected for his sterling
qualities and talents than Mr.. Welsh, but
it's generally felt US unfair in any one to
attempt TO announce the sentiments Of
this township OF their delegation, when no
expression was made in any mans favor.
We want harmony, and our action IN CIV
ing no instructions was for that end; but
We expect 70 elect whoever may be NOM
mated, notwithstanding the terrible efforts
Of the Democrats and the cE0akl1g Of
some lukewarm Republicans. We are
not quite ready to admit that we were
all wrong for the last ten years, although
1 suppose that the Democrat pres has
an idea that they have convinced Us TO
that eject. They still remind Us Ok the
woollY heads, Of Mrs.. SuTratt, Of bloated
bondiolders and other terrible things. but
we will not be convinced, and intend 70
do q we have hitherto send sound Re
publican to Congress.
The cool, delightful weather we have
been having the past few days has slim
ulated business here, and our streets pre-
scented lively appearance this morning.

Mr., Henry Le0nhardt has nearly com
pletel his new building The work upon
it is Of the finest description, and reflects
great credit upon the wOrImen and the
owner. Mr.. James Darrah is. the arChi'

mason. The painting is done by William
P. Tharp, and is one Of the finest Jobs ii
