Mr.. MeGralh, the engineer in chief OF the

Wheeling my advice to the people is, be
sure and hear him.
Our people are OH the qui rirc as to Ger.
tain movements among the B.& @. officials.
Yesterday the entire cabinet was here will,
their train Of eight officers ears, and re.
manned several hours looking tho ground
over and evidently planning enterprises or
improvements OF sotnc kind. The irnpres,.
ION prevails that Il new depot is conteu,-
plated, something sorcly needed here, and
that las been The subject OF cabinet con.
situations among tho officials OF that road
Tor many yeats past,
Tuesdays election proved II political do
lection TO Republicans hereabouts All.
though the result WIS dsccrnablc in the
political horoscope before Tuesday, vet the
terrible flood was none the less sudden and
unexpected. It WIS Il flood in truth, II
regular West lndia cyclone, and il gath
cred impe,usby reason Of the rustlinc winds
that came from every corner OF the COM
rass. The icebergs Of Massachusetts, The
cyclones OF Kansas and the sroccos OF
Carolina all seemed to meet in iraternul
embrace to crush the old Republican shin
by their contending fury. Is she crushed?
Not by several degrees. She Is budiy chr.
eenc.d and weather bruised, but her filler
is in place, her beams sound and
her lnasts in position, and she only
needs master hand to fake tLe
helm for the cruise of 1851. Asl
Daniel Webster said in his lust speccl, in
reply to llayne, "When the mariner has
been tossed for many days in thick wealth
er and Oh unknown sens, he naturally
avalls himself OF the first lull in the storm
to consult lis compass, and ascertain how
far the clements have driven him from his
coursc.' It would be well for Republicans
to adopt the prudence OF the mariner, and
ascertain where they are, and how thew
got there. twill not do to indulge in Grim
nations and ciiargesof impoiitic StaIwArts
and ras! llalf:brecls; but rather, what's the
callse Of all this, and how can the evil be
reuedied. Unite! unite!! unite.!l Let
stalwarls, Bosses and llalf.brecds be for.
given and forgotten, and Let the old Re.
PUBLICAN power be brought TO the front, aud
gather about il those grand old cohorts Tint
led it up to victory and planted it on lie
ramEarts OF Il nation redeemed and olsen.
,hrallc'l. Let all the old guard us
well as the later volunteers BE- there. Let
the Conklinss, the kobinsous and the
sharpss be there; and the Blaines. llules,
Chambers, l.ogans, C1merons, Shcrmuns.
Hayes, Schu,zs and Windows. let tie old
guard who mustered under Lincoln and
Grant, and who re.enlisled under Garfield,
all be there; and let the efforts Of the
future be linked to the memories Of the
past. All is not lost. The Republican
party commenced last wednesday nom.
ing IL gather herself for fresh victories,
The atmosphere had became murky
and 'icary, and u big thunder
shower. was needed to clear
away the poisonous vapon cucenderet
by twenty years continuous residence in
the governmental castle. One may plitos.
ophize until his hair is gray us 10 the causes
Of the late defeat, and then be no nearer
the truth than when he began. The causes
were many, but, rs numerous as they are,
they can all be traced back 10 the misera-
BILE assassin's pistol shot that robbed the
nation Of its head. Reflections over the
past will bring profitable lessons for the
future. Let US bury our differences and
anlimosites aud present Il solid front 10 the
enemy, and as SIRE rs the sun shines the
