PENNSYLVANIA CANVASS.

Governor Curtin concludes lis letter of
acceptance in the following words:
1t Pennsylvania is TO be restored TO pu-
rity, the Government, in all its depart
menjs, as we'll as the Convention, must
harmonic fSully and earnestly in the work
of regeneration. Mr.. Buckalew's confessed
Integrity and consistent devotion to Re
form during many years Of official service
give the best possible guarantees of honest
administration and Ct complete restraints
upon corrupt CIR reckless authority. and his
election seems to be demanded by every
consideration Of Individual manhood, and
of fidelity to the honor and advancement
of the State.
If, as is claimed by the desperate leaders
of Pennsylvania, to regenerate our State liz
October will affect the national contest, the
cause thus to be endangered must be want
ing in most essential attributes OF popular
confidence. Actuated solely by sense OF
duty to people, whose devotion in times
past furnishes the most grateful memories
of my life, l shall vote in October for hon.
est government in cur Commonwealth,
and meet the Presidential issue when it
comes before the people, IN accordance
with my long settled convictions. | cannot
consent to sacrifice a great contest for con-
stitutional, legislative, ard administrative
reform, because Presidential election is
pending. To yield the question, would
give fresh victories for misrula, and make
the effort for just fundamental restraints
either measurabIy or wholly abortiye.
Very respectfully, your obed1ent servant.
A. @. CURTIN.
To the Hon. A. *. Mcclure, Chairman
Of the Liberal Republican State Committee
of Pennsylvania.

IITTsBURG, Sept. y.
Allegheny county, famous for It's i'm
mens3 mass meetings, gave 4 heartier wei
| come TO Senator SchurZ tonight than it
! ever accorded to any other man. It made
public demonstration greater and more
! enthusiastic than that which greeted the
! Grant Soldiers and Sailors Convention
last week. Before dark the political clubs
from the several wards Of the city and
from the neighbOring cities and towns be-
! gan to gather in the streets Of Pittsburgh,
with their torches and transparercies, and
! heated by bands OfInuSic, and We're greet
/ ed by the Immense crowds who already
! file the public thoroUghfares and made
passage through them almost impossible
/ L cannot say now many men were i'll line
when the procession crossed the river to
Allegheny City. 1t seemed almost Inter
minable, and il presented spectacle never
seen III ilttsburg before, for thousands of
| German American citizens, who, ever since
the Republican party was formed, have
been answering III their support Of its
principles and candidates, were tonight for
the inst time marching Under the same
banner with those Who were lately their
political opponents.
The New \ ok Hc5UjJ says:
d" The &c,Hul situation Of the opposing
parties in PeEmsy lyauIa, then, is this: The
republicans ase not united in support of
their State ticket, while the democrats
liberals and BoUib0ns aud the liberal re-
publicans are united in support Of the dem
ocratic St e ticket. This is the most Ia
yOrable Condition Of things offered any
where for a telling Greeley victory in Oc-
tober. His supporters know, too, that they
must carry Pennsylvania i'll this approach
ing State contest or give up all hopes OF
carrying Mr.. Greeley III No,ember.
