TENDER TO YOU OUR ACKNO GY
lEDGMENTS FOR YOUR , PATRIOTIC
COURSE. The manner iu Which the-people
of Pennsylvania responded to your call and
hastened to the defence of their frontier,
NO DOUBT EXERCISED GREAT.
INFLUENCE UPON - THE ENEMY. I
am, very respectfully and sincerely, yours,
OEO. B. MoOLELLA.N,
Major General U. S. A. •
His Excellency A. G. Ciaturr, Governor
of Pennsylvania.
TO-JJAY.
All has been done that loyal men could
do. Argument has been exhausted. Evi
dence has been multiplied 'in favor, of the
Union cause, against the Democratic candi
date. Earnest appeal 'has been made to
every feeling which men who love their;
-country possess. .From the shores of 'Erie
to the banks of the Delaware, the State has
'been canvassed ; there is no voter who can
plead ignorance of the importance of the
election, though many we know will be
found guilty of ignorance of the principles
involved. The great question is fully, fair
y, emphatically stated to the people of Pehn
.sylvania, and upon them is imposed to
day the mighty responsibility of deciding it.,
To-day will either crown with new honors
the State, or stain its record with an un
known disgrace. To-day Pennsylvania will
throw all her vast, influence on the side of
- the Union ; or, crouching before slaveholci
ers and rebels, assist the conspiraCy to
destroy it. - 'ever before did the Union
need PennsylVania so much ; never was an
election held so important as that of to-day:
In the exercise of his sovereign right every.
voter is accountable to his own conscience,
to his country, and to God.
' To-day we utter our last words of argu=
anent and appeal to the voters of the city
and State, firmly believing that their choice
will be loyal and true. The supposition
that GEOROE W. WoonwAnn can become
the Governor of a free Northern State is so
monstrous and incredible, that we ought
scarcely to feel suspense, and yet as the
moment of his expected defeat draws nearer,
anxiety and interest increase. Were he
the nominee of a political party in South
Carolina or Georgia, we should not doubt
his fitness for office, for his opinions are
those cherished in the , slave States, and
upon his principles the rebellion is justified.
:With the slaveltolders, he believes slavery to
be a divine institution ; with CALHOUN, he
has asserted that for the protection of slave
property, slaveholders can use any means
of defence they possess ; with the approval
of traitors, he declared, at the beginning of
secession, , that the South should be allowed
to go peaceably from the Union. These
facts, iecoided in his own speeches and let
ters, entitle him to office inna slave State, but
should forever exclude him from the Gover
norship of Pennsylvania.
We cannot, must not, will not fail to-day.
" With us," in the language of Mr. WAYNE
31eVBAciu, "are the hopes of human pro
.gress, the strength of truth and justice, the
:resistless impulses of civilization, the un
conquerable energies of freedom, and, if we
are worthy, the blessing of Almighty God."
Nothing can prevent our success but our
own unfaithfulness. A noble candidate,
a noble cause, all that made and keeps our
country glorious and great should inspire
and encourage us to-day. More than this,
- we should be inspired by the danger that
confronts us--a candidate who has justified
the right of secession, and a party that en
deavors to succeed by the meanest of politi
cal trickery, and upon principles in sympa
thy with our foes.
The Ticket.
'We feel that if we have not said enough
to convince very loyal man of his duty to
day, then our labors have been in vain.
We may, however, venture to make a few
final remarks as to the character of the men
the loyal people are called upon to place in
office. In the State we have ANDREW G.
4Juntnr for Governor, and DANIEL AGNEW
for Judge of the Supreme Court. Governor
`CURTIN is a tried man ; his claims we rest
not only upon personal ability and high cha
racter, but upon the history of the past three
years. To speak of him in praise were su
perfluous. Judge AGNEW is a jurist of emi
nence, loyal, impartial, and his fitness for
the position has never been questioned by
the most bitter of his opponents. On
our county ticket are the names of some
of our best citizens. LEwis R. BROOM
ALL should be elected Recorder of Deeds
irrespective of party prejudice, for no
one can fail to know how well he
- will perform the important duties of the
office. The candidate for Prothonotary
,of Quarter Sessions, GEORGE KELLY, is a
gentleman, upright and intelligent. GEORGE
H. MOORE is nominated for Clerk of Court
of Quarter Sessions, and no man is better
qualified for the post. Then for Coroner is
WILLIAM TAYLon, a physician of distin
guished ability; none other should be trust
ed with the -responsibilities of this office.
In the city, HENRY Bulimia the loyal can
,didate for City Treasurer, and strict integri
ty, and business experience and intelligence,
entitle him to an election. For City Com
missioner, we have Pritrzr HAMILTON,
'whose merits are unquestionable. We are
liatisfied with this list. There is not a name
..on the ticket which is not honorable.
DOCTIUNES fatal alike to the honor of
American freemen and to the integrity of
the American Union," are those of Mr.
Justice WOODWARD—the divinity of slavery,
the right of secession, and that involved iu
the pitiful advice given by him'at the be
ginning of the rebellion, " I "say, let the
„South go peaceably." They cannot suc
ceed in Pennsylvania, they will be emphati
cally rebuked, if every loyal citizen uses all
his influence to defeat their representative.
"VOICES come from the army and navy,
''from a hundred fields, from the graves of
thousands of our loved friends lost, lin
:-ploring us to give this day a
,vote to our
country. Let us be true to the memory of
our brave brothers who are gone; and sus
'.fain the country they died to defend.'
u‘.,Ltrfcolat's hirelings will guard the polls
with menial bayonets," "the corrupt des
potism which rules the country will inter
fere with the sacred rights of freemen," the
streets of Philadelphia will run with blood."
All this can be implicitly believed; for we
quote it from Copperhead newspapers. ,
' LET every man give this day to his coun
try, and his country will bless him for it.
"TELL the people of Ohio," said General
GARFIELD, " that the vote- for BROUGII, in
the Army of the Cumberland will be smaller
than it would have been had not the friends
of Mr. VALLANDIGIIAX killed off some,thott-,
sands of our Ohio boys." The Army of
the Potomac, in like manner, tells Pennsyl
vania that the majority for Governor OCrR
TIN would be many thousands larger, if Mr.
Justice WOODWARD had not decided that
her citizens lose their right to vote when
they leave their homes to fight the battles of
the country.
S
.8 P. AL
LET every one who believes in the divi
nity- of sla - VerY vote for GEORGE. W. Woon:
WARD ! Let every . one who believes in. the
dignity - of freedom vote for ANDREW G.
C num,.
RICEDIOND RBBEL ORGAN tal3 us that
the "road to peace" lies through Pennsyl
vania. In other words, that Lam, by moving: -
upon Pennsylvania, might cause the election
of WooDwinD, and thus bring peace. ,
FriendS, will you by voting for GEORGE W.
WOODWARD become the allies of the' re
.
bellion ?
MEN may wickedly and intelligently : de . -
sire the success of COpperheadistn amen
may hone . stlY and, ignorantly vote for it ;
hut no .man can at once honestly and intel
ligently support any cause but that, which
Avnnaw G. CURTIN represents.- •
NoT MANY MONTHS AGO 011 r fair fields
were channelled 'by rebel heels, our brOthers
slain while defending their homes, and our
State desecrated by an - army of invading
rebels. Remember when you vote , to•day
that Aminisw G. GunTrN aided PenusylVaL
nia in accomplishing her deliverance; and
'that the friends of. GEORGE W. WOODWARD
were in sympathy with rebel robbers and
murderers. •
SHALL Ism have a peace of sin and shame ?
Then vote for GEORGE W. WOODWARD.
shall we
. have a peace of glory and perpe
tuity ? Then vote for Aximunv G. cuRTLti.
Tim election must be won triumphantly.
It is not mere success that will satisfy the
country. The ignominious• defeat of Cop
perheadism to-day, will be a glorious vic
tory for true Democracy, and will purify
the party name from the stain of disloyal
associations.
LET the believers in "the divinity of
slavery," and the fitness of a naafi with
Southern principles for the Governorship of
a Northern State, vote early, and vote often.
It is their only chance.
IF OUR CITIi.ENS find the Army of the Po
tomac keeping Copperheads from the polls
to.day, by all means let them denounce.tho
Government is a despotism. But, if they.
can, unmolested, vote for jortii
ANDREW G. CURTIN, GEORGE W. WOOD
WARD, or any one they please, then let us
hear no more despicable nonsense of a mili
tary tyrant.
Tim spirit of ,the age `.regards sla*ry a
crime and a sin—not less a crime and a sin
because tolerated. Mr. Justice WOODWARD
regards slavery as an "incalculable bless
ing." Voters of Pennsylvania, what do
you think ?" .
WHAT will be the gain of all we have
given and ventured, if GEORGE W. WOOD
WARD is chosen Governor of Pennsylvania ?
Our victories will be as the shedding of so
much unnecessary blood, and our sacrifices
so many losses. Our glory will be shame,
and the proud name of our State will bl-,
come a byword and a swim.
Vomisi-L- . Think of New York with
SEYMOUR as its Governor. Remember that
under his . administration crime ruled the
State of New York, and that under ANDREW
G. Cultvic there was peace. Remember
that WOODWARD IS more - dangeroas and ex
treme than SEYMOUR, and contemplate, if
you can, the result of his election.
IF DOUGLAS lived where would he stand ?
With a Democracy false to his principles,
or with the Union he upheld to the last, and
for which his dying words were uttered ?
His pure and noble Democracy had no taint
of disloyalty.
"To THINS. against slavery is a sin ; to
speak against slavery a crime."'Thi's is
a sentiment of Mr. Justice WOODWARD.
Shall the author Of such an atrocious thought
be Governor of Pennsylvania?
To VOTE FOR GOVERNOR CURTIN is to
oppose, the enemies of the Government.
These are Southern rebels and their North
ern friends.
To SUPPOSE that the Union can be main
tained by opposing the Government which
is pledged to preserve it, which the rebel
lion attacks to achieve secession, is to be
guilty of a crime against common sense.
THOUGH Mr. Justice WOODWARD refuses
to declare his principles until after his elec
tion, we are not ignorant of their disloyal
nature. We like to quote his notorious
speech in justification of rebellion, and in
favor of letting the South peaceably secede,
and our readers, we trust, have profited by
the liberal extracts we have made.
PmLADFLrmA will give Cumix a large
majority, and the State will follow its me
tropolis. This is our confident hope this
morning. We offer a majority of ten thou
sand from our twenty-five wards ; and if our
friends work hard, the majority here alone
will be twenty thousand.
WOODWARD may not be a traitor, but
every traitor is for WOODWARD. What Is
the difference ?
TrtE ELECTION OF CURTIN will sadden
JEFF DAVIS; the election of WOODWARD
will gladden him. Can the loyal man hesi
tate ?
HAS ArnynEw G. CURTIN proved a bad
Governor ? Ask GEOROM R MoCiarttsx,
and read his answer in the letter he wroto
our Chief Executive after the battle of An
tietarn.
NEW Y°Ri; under the cruel reign of SEy
morn, looks longingly upon Pennsylvania,
and hopes to take inspiration from her action.
The Reystone State will not disappoint the
Empire State.
IN A FEW WEEES Maryland will fight the
battle of freedom. Pennsylvanians, you
can give victory to Maryland by giving your
votes to ANDREW G. CURTER'.
EVERY citizen who casts his vote for
ANDREW G. CURTIN knows for what man
and what principles it is given.:But Ozoltam
W. WooDwAnb has kept himself coldly
apart from the people, in aristocratic seclu
sion, and has coolly said that he will an
nounce his opiniOn.? after 418 erection'
".To BE on NOT TO BE—!hSt is the ques
tion." If the Republic is to it,?; elect Aw-
DREW G. PIIRTIN. If it is not to i;S", elect
GEORGE W. WOODWARD.
WE JUDGE a man by the company he
keeps. Who is a friend of WoonwArns
Every traitor in the land. Who is the
enemy of CunnEer ? Every traitor in the
land. Loyal men need know no more.
Tnz TRAITOR STEPHENS said to his fel
low-citizens, three years ago :
"What right has the North assailed? What justice
has been denied? And what claim, founded on jus
tice and right, has been withheld I Can you to-day
name one single act of wrong," deliberately and pur
posely done by the Government at Washington, of
Which the South has aright to complain? I chal
lenge the amulet PY • • •
What the rebel Vice President denied, the
Copperheads of the North assert; and (3-no.
W. WooDwArm himself has lately said
that the "malignant fanaticism" of the
North caused the war. Northern men will
not fail to remember the calumny ; Southern
traitors will be delighted to know that the
Copperhead candidate accuses his fellow
citizens of beginning the rebellion,
Tars day choose ye whom Ye will serve,
Slavery, or Freedom. .
VOTE EARLY—that will be sufficient. Let
the Copperheads vote often; if they can.

AN ENTHUSIASTIC DEMONSTRATION
a'ore.iitight • Procession.
Last night there was a great and enthusiastic
demonstration in the streets of irlanayunk, Twenty
first ward. Being the last of the campaign, every
voter in the ward displayed an extraordinary
interest, the consequence of which was that the
largest meeting ever held in the ward took piece,
and was characterized by all the enthusiasm of
a gathering confident of approaching victory. A.
torchlight procEssion, many squares in length,
enlivened the streets, and bands of music, discoursing
patriotic airs, added a zest to the occasion which has
seldom been witnessed. The meeting-was attended
by probably lave thousand persons. It was presided
over by Dr. Uhler, of Select Council. The platform
was crowded to overflowing,. and the speakers
greeted with vociferous approbation. Hon. P. C.
Shannon entertained the audience with one of his
stirring and patriotic speeches, which war listened•
to with great attention. He dwelt at length upon
the injtistice done to the soldier by the decision of
the Supreme Court, which deprives him of the right
of voting.
Who had a better right• to vote than the chival
roue soldier:-of the Unionl Yet the august Judi
ciary -of Penneyrvania deprive him of. that right.
The speaker respected that judiciary, but such deci
sions as that which deprived the soldiers of the
right to vote had the manifest tendency to bring
the judiciary into disrepute. Mr. Justine Wood
ward hes done nothing to bring honor upon thatju
dietary. He who would wish to give fresh gueran
teee to slavery ; who would give aid and sympathy
to the men who have taken up arms against
their country, can reflect no credit upon the
Supremo Bench. The speaker discussed the va
rious issues that- have been thrust upon the
people by the enemies of the Administration du
ring the progress of the war. The sympathizers
attempt to make the people believe that the war
was commenced by the Abolitionists. Every sensi
ble man knows that the war was commenced by the
Southern Democrats, and is now carried on by the
sympathizing Copperheads of the North. By what
patent-right, he desired to know, did the new lights
of the Democracy have to call themselves Demoaratsi
Yallandigham and Woodward might call themselves
Democrate, but they have falsified the name sand
disgraced the prestige of a once great and glorious
party. No better evidence of the degeneracy of the
Democratic party need be required than is displayed
in the character of ita leaders. There was .no in.
stint of the old Democracy in such men as Wood
ward. Look to the genuine leaders of the Demo
cratic party, now only found in the ranks of the
Union forces. These are the true advocates and
apoistles of peace. The Union party wish for pease,
and will obtain it. They, Resisted by the true Demo
crate of the country, will cling to the flag of their
country, and, by maintaining it, alone give security
and prosperity to the country.
Three cheers were giVen heartily for the Union ;
three more for Governor Curtin.
Judge Shannon was followed by the Hon. Wm.
D. Kelley, who stated that he had understood the
Copperheads of this district were circulating false
theories and prejudices respecting the draft. Ac
cordingly, he would address his hearers upon this
subject. In Congress, he had voted for the con
serfption act—[cheers]—Congresa determining to
save the lives of as many people as possible, and
also that the supremacy of the country should
be maintained. They determined to save the whole
country for the benefit of North and South—to
save it not merely for to-day, but for all. time.
Under Washington's Administration;it was found
that the militia of the States were all placed under
the control of the President. Under Van Buren's
Administration it was found also that a conscription
act was adopted. But in all there conscription laws
of the past the wealthy were exempted, and those:
who were best able by their purse to claim exemp
tion on account of their easy circumstances. The
last Congress, however, were determined to be more
lenient; and the exemptions were all made in favor
of age, decrepitude, and tender childhood. The
Democrats, however, complain. They would com
plain anyhow.
The Democratic party would be buried in a short
time. It was once a great party, until it was bitten
by a great Copperhead, John _C. Calhoun. The
cannon aimed at Fort Sumpter- knocked out its
brains. The Democratic party used to have a great
national platform. -It has not the platform new
upon which Jefferson or Jackson could stand to-day.
The platform is formed by such men as Vallan
digham, who are now seeking for advancement
before the American people. In the last Con
gress, there were but five men who voted
the army. Three

of these Men are now brigadier generals id
the rebel service. The other two are those honest
patriots, Wood and Vallandigham. Every vote
given in Pennaylvania for Woodward is an endorse
ment of that action of the Woods and Vallan
dighams. Every man, woman, and child in the land
are interested in such legislation as deprives their
fathers, brothers, and relatives of the wages due
them, because they patriotically entered as volun
teer soldiers against a wicked rebellion. Shall Val
landigham be endorsed by the election of Wood

not be so faithless to all her roomer re.
cord. George W. Woodward boldly tolls the
freemen of Pennsylvania that slavery is an incalcu
lable blessing. The workingmen of this great State
would not forget this doctrine on the day of elec
tion. Nor would they be forgetful of that other as
legion of his, that no foreigner should be permitted
to enjoy the elective franchise unless he happened
to live on this soil in 1891. The speaker urged elo
-eicently the duty of every loyal man in this peculiar
crisis. Let no friend of his country in the Keystone
State desert the friend of the Union and the friend
of the soldier, who, after haVing served us so well
for three years, asks now that he may ba pirmitted
for three years more to do likewise for the sake or
the country we all love so well.
Mr. Wm. D. Massey, of Alexandria, - Virginia, was
next introduced. He said that he felt as great an
interest in the pending election of Pennsylvania as
he did in any election of his own State. The future
historian, in writing of this election, would dwell
upon its importance aato the influence which it had
upon the preservation of the Union. This election
was no '"ordinary one. It involved no small
issues. In other times the people of the Union
looked to Pennsylvania to find how a Presi
dential election would go. As Pennsylvania
went in October, so the other States went in
November. Should you elect Woodward, a
shout of joy would go up from all rebeldom: Elect
Curtin, and the rebellion is virtually squelched. He
trusted that all loyal men understood this issue. It
was so plain that it was difficult to understand
how any could be mistaken. As a Southern man,
he was astonished that there could be found so many
men here who would not give their voice and their
arm for the suppression of the rebellion. Never was
there so glorious a country as ours. No treason
could be more unpardonable than that which pre
vails in this. All the great men of the South spoke
against disunion. Let the loyal people of the North
speak in terms not to be misunderstood, and all
would yet be well.
Speeches were delivered by Horatio Gates Jones,
Eery., and others, and the meeting broke up at a late
hour, amid much enthusiasm.
The Speech of Roil. Jas. M. Scovel.
[Correspondence of The Press.
MEADVI7..LB, PA., Oct. 9, 1963
A great meeting was held here to day for the
Union and for Governor Curtin. The enthusiasm
of the people was unbounded, and long before the
hour arrived the Court-house was crowded to its ut
most capacity.
The meeting was addressed by Governor Noble
and by the Ron. Tames M. Scovel, of New Jersey.
The first speaker kept the audience in perfect humor
for over an hour with a. sound and eloquent speech.
Mr. Scovel spoke for an hour, and wee listened to
with the deepest attention. Hie speech was an el°.
/pent, truthful and conclusive reply to the treason
able speech of Win. R. Reed. I send you a hasty
sketch of it. The meeting was one long to be re
membered, S. T. C.
FirLteeie-Orrilatee OF TUB COUNTY OF ertkiV
roan : I learn that an extinguished politician, Wil•
Liam B. Reed, has addressed you upon the political
lutes' of the day. He asks for " generous and
tolerant att2ntion." I have read his speech, and
have yielded him both, And, after a patient reading, I
can compare that production to nothing in ancient
or modern history except to that " persuasive" ora
tion of the original Copperhead who clandestinely
entered the Garden of Eden, and from whose per.
suasive poison "came all our woes."
From the first hne to the last sentence of this
speech there is no word of sympathy for a suffering
country. He has words of derision for statesmen,
the latchet of whose shoes he is unworthy to un
loose. He threatens the Administration with the
fate of Strafford, of Charles Stuart, and Laud, when
he had better reflect that his own open and unblush
ing expressions of treason merit and May receive a
just rebuke from a people he has long though vainly
endesvorrd to deceive. For, if I am not mistaken,
the people—the bard-handed, honest•hearted yeo
manry of Clarion and Crawford—the people, from
Philadelphia to Venango—have learned to distrust
the enemies of God and man who, for three yearn,
with little brain and less heart, following the lead o
James Buchanan (sometimes called Pennsylvania's
favorite scoundrel), have traitorously sought to be
tray them. [Applause
And that man must be early schooled and deeply
imbued in the principles of moral evil who can stand
up now, in the face of the dangers which threaten
our nationality, and ask us to believe that our coun
try can be saved by "saving the State of Pennsylva
nia and joining it to the great array of central sove
reignties which then, I (W. B, R.) trust, will be com-
pact from the Hudson to the Mississippi." What
array of central sovereignties does the gentleman
mean i None other than a centraleovereignty whose
head shall be Jefferson Davie, the satrap of slavery,
whose bidding shall be done by Northern patriots
with Confederate principles.
Fellow-citizens, the hour for such language as
this; addressed to men who, through much tribula
tion, have at last learned to do their own political
thinking, has peered.
The mall who utters such language in endeavoring
to deceive others only deceives himself. He is a
lawyer ripe enough in legal lore to know that politi
cal duplicity is as bad as duplicity in pleading.
We are told that the "Abolitionists" dare not
look the Constitution imthe face because its blood
is upon their hands.
Acting under instructions from Beauregard, all
men who love liberty and the Union more than they
love slavery and the Confederacy, who love God and
oumuntry as much as they hate the Devil and Self
DavlVare called Abolitionists, a name which now
only frightens -children or timid politicians. We
say deliberately and with premeditation, that the
party of the Republic, the people who support
Andrew G. Curtin, and whose watchwords are our
country, when she is right let us "keep her right,
when she is wrong let us put her right," are not
afraid, never have been. and never will be afraid, to
look both the Constitution (and a Copperhead) in
the face. We take the Constitution as it stands.
We interpret it by common sense,, and look upon it
as the supreme law of the land, whose letter killeth,
but whose spirit maketh alive. Let us infuse in it
some of the spirit of the first Revolution. Let us
rise to the level of the great understandings of the
immortal men who formed that instrument, the men
who sent the Declaration of Independence, like an
arrow from the bow of William Tell, swift into
the heart of despotism. [Great applause./ And
then there will be no -lingering doubt in the
heart,of a single patriot in the land that the Consti
tution, even "as it is," gives us power enough to
'use all the means known to civilized warfare to put
down the rebellion, and to send the flag-of our coun
try into and over every stronghold of treason.
-The speaker, to whom I have referred; quotes
Chief Justice Marshall, who said, forty years ago :
" political dreamer ever was wild enough to
thlmk of breaking down State Um and conapetrad.
Log the American people into one macs." The de
cision which is here quoted (the case in 4th Whefe.
ton's ti. S. Reports), embracing the opinion of that
eminent jurist, .lodge Marshall, le against the doc
trine of .tate rights. And I charge that the extract
itetlf is made in that spirit of UntairmeSS for which
the political career of Mr. Reed is so remarkable.
Chief Justice Marshall.' in the language used, only
refers to the manner In which the people voted for
the Constitution. The people were not "com
pounded into one mass, ,, hut voted within State
Hues, RS they now do, and as our posterity will do,
in spite of fd.r. Reed's timid fears about "Federal
Usurpation and absorption." In 1T74 there were
only "Artioles of Association" binding together the
OCAOnit-s--a rope of sand. In 1778 the Confederation
was only "a league of friendship; and not till
IT7B, under the inspiration of Washington, Jeffer
son, and John Adams, was the Constitution of our
country graven upon the hearts of the people. Pa
trick Henry binmelf sap] you have formed a con
solidated form of government You say, " We, the
people, instead of We, the t. , tates." But that con•
solidated form of government never gave any central
power or any power of absorption to the President
of the United Stater' or to his Cabinet. The central
powerconma from

suction, which is the government in cation, and as
such reccivce the support of every loyal man in the
land.
Let Mr. Reed Cease to misquote a decision which
denounces State rights, (a doctrine denounced by
Clay, and Clayton, and Forsyth, a doctrine which
holds out its arms to save a traitor from the gal
lows). The Authority for the so called conscription
act itself can be found in the very decision referred
to. But why do wo pause in this great battle for
humanity and liberty, to mention those whose pow•
eriess'ai ms ale raised against the land to which they
owe the first drop of their blood? Let swill men
quote Robert J. Dreckinthlge, the patriot, if they
will. They had better quote from Breckinridge, the
major general and the traitor.
At Meadville, the speaker believes in virtue, as
exhibited in the character and conduct of 'that 'De
nim:l nth party which destroyed Itself in order to de
stroy the country, and now strives to gather toge
st er the dead members of that p.trty to complete the
ruin they hes an at Charleston and at Richmond.
Mr. Reed believes in liberty, which means license
for Jefferson Davis' robbery, murder, and devasta
tion.- He believes in toe independence of barbarism,
and slavery, end crime—in a rebellion against the
ten commandments, and the Declaration of Inde
pendence.
Astonishing mendacity! Madness of knavery,
which stands by the open graves of our soldiers with
hypocritical team. as it strikes again the bleeding
see prostrate form of Liberty. Well may we pray
for God to save the Commonwealth, by defeating
the men who conspire to destroy a Union - cemented
with the blood of their ancestry. And lie wno rules
the universe will yet teach these men that they are
impotent for evil, except in malevolence of purpose.
But I shall detain you no longer. -.The Common
wealth can be saved by the defeat of George W.
Woodward. Will you help save it? Shall the pa
triot fires, kindled in California, and yet blazing in
Maine, die out, while no answering altar-Brea are
burning in Penneylvanial Shall it be Baia of you
that you were not fit to be free? Shall it be said of
us—for this great battle is not alone for yourselves—
that, while the soil of Virginia drank the best blood
of the Republic, we betrayed our sons and our
brothers at the ballot box in Pennsylvania? Never!
Gather, then, the clansmen, who have learned the
battle-cry of freedom, as it comes from the faroff
Missouri. Tell them that this is the last struggle
for all we hold dearest—for our household gods, for
honor, for law, and for liberty. Reason and hu
manity plead now as they never plead before, and
the great heart of the people throbs responsive to
the eager longings of your soldiers, whose dying eyes
turn homey-aid from the banks of the Tennessee
with the last prayer that God will defend the right.
"To your tents, 0 I Israel." Let no man falter on
the 13th of October.
And when the battle is won, in the long and glo
rious future of a Republic based upon imperishable
justice, conscious and proud of her security won by
the sword ; when our children have learned eternal
hate against treason, the tearful mother and the pa
triot father may gather together, under the folds of
the old flag - once again, and, as they bless it, through
their tears they will thank God that the 7 gave their
coos who have died that the nation might live.

To the Editor of The Press
Sin: On last Saturday evening there was held in
this place a public meeting, purporting to' be Demo
cratic, but which was organized and spoken in by
none but oopperheads. One of the speakers, J. Ross
Snowden, in the course of his remark's, m ..de use of
the following, in speaking of the army: "That he con
sidered our soldiers in the fi eld as great traitors as Jeff
Davis and h
Iris party!" N ow, what will the soldiers
think of such language,
coming as it does from
Judge Woodwara , s clerk, and one, too, who has
never been known to do any thing all his life but
bold office? Is be not a fit successor of Bob Tyler?
The effect of the above remarks was, that the
meeting was somewhat disturbed by some of the
soldiers, who are home on leave for a few days, and
the only thing to be regretted was their being al
lowed to continue their meeting, after such slurs
cast upon men wkware sacrificing their health, com
forts, and life for the protection of the homes and
lives of such political backs as the above ex-mint
drop!

Bishop Hopkins Again.
To the Editor of The Press
Sin: Believing that wickedness in high places as
well as in low should, on all proper occasions, be re: -
linked by Christian men, you will pardon me for
presuming to occupy a ;small space in your valua
ble sheet, for the purpose of giving -an additional
impetus to the rapidity with which the "Right
Reverend John H. Hopkins, Bishop of the Diocese
of Vermont." is going down in the estimation of all
intelligent and respectable people. And I must
certainly be right in doing so ; for we are com
manded to "resist the devil," and there is no more
effectual way of doing this than to resist and perse
cute his agents and followers.
In his last tirade against the venerable and most
excellent Bishop of Pennsylvania and his clergy,
amongst many other fallacious and unfounded ex
pressions, John 11. Hopkins delivers himself thus,
in substance, if not verbatim: " * * * In the
relation of master and slave, there is necessarily no
sin whatever. The siu, if there is any, lays in the
treatment of the slave, and not in the relation itself."
I think the contrary can be proved, without " wrest
ing the Scripture." --
To come to the point at once—What is sin? "Sin
is the transgression of the law." The "golden
rule," the automat bor:um of all Scripture precept,
as far as respects human relations, reads as follows :
"All things whatsoever le would that men should do
to you, do ye even so to them." And will any one
suppose our Divine Redeemer, who came "not to de
stroy the law, but to fulfil," would utter any com
mand or precept in conflict or at variance with the
law He himself adds,
most explicitly, after the
above : "for this is the law and the prophets." (See
Matt. 7: 12) The spirit of this golden rule will not
be changed one iota if we render it: " All things
whatsoever ye would that men should not do unto
you, do ye not even so to them." Now, will Bishop
Hooking. or any of his followers,have the hardihood
to deny that slavery, or the "relation" of slavery, is
a direct and palpable violation of the spirit of our
Saviour's direction? Whoever heard of a Southern
slaveholder desiring or wishing that either himself
or any member of his family should be bought and
held as a chattel by hia neighbor, or any person in
creation? If this be admitted, it follows, logi
cally, that slavery, or the " relation" of slavery, 3.9
a sin. Consequently it should be abolished. This
should forever dispose of that argument of the
Bishop's. .
Re, also, with great fluency, writes Latin, and
com pimpo of the 'sad cheo-e of the times," and of
Bishop Potter'a change of opinions. Thank God
that the times have changed, and that there are men
good and bold enough to change their opinions,
when they are convinced those opinions are wrong.
Bishop Hopkins might as justly complain of the
mange of a sinner's heart, by which he is." renewed
unto good works," and is inspired with the hope of
salvation. Perhaps he has never labored to effect
that change.
self, was brought up a Democrat, in the most
rigid school of the faith, but when I saw the quick
sands upon which it was fast driving our glorious

called "Democratic" party, and became a soldier

early an honorable scar.

CAMP WILLIAM Pilaw, Chelten Hills, Pa., Oct.

The Unnvass is Tioga.
TIOGA, Tioga 0 . 0. 5 Pa., Oct. 6,1863.
To the Editor of The Press: -
Sin: It may be interesting to you to hear
from the Northern tier. Yesterday Messrs.
D Kelley and George A. Coffey, of your city, ad
dimmed over three thousand five hundred of our
citizens, assembled from our hills upon the Court
House square at Welkboro. Judge .Kelley spoke
over two hours in his usual happy and convincing
style, to an attentive and appreciating audience.
He was followed by Mr. Coffey, who spoke again
in the evening to a crowded audience is the Court
House. As soon as Judge Kelley had finished speak
ing, he drove to Tioga, seventeen miles, reaching
there in the evening. -As soon as it was known that
he was at Tioga, the Presbyterian Church was
filled, and despite the fatigues of the day, he ad
dressed a delighted audience for another two hours.
These gentlemen seemed pleased with our pine.clad
hills and attudy yeomanry, and we were certainly
pleased with them. Tioga county is awake, and
will pet keep her place as the banner county of the
State. And although three thousand of our loyal
men are in the field and in soldiers' graves, we con
fidently believe we will give Curtin and Agnew
from fifteen hundred to two thousand majority.
The True Democracy Opposed to the
Copperheads.
{From the Boenimz Post.]
If some good old Democrat of other days were to
rise up from hie grave today, and take a survey of
the political field, he would notice some strange and,
to him, lamentable- changes. He would not recog
nize hie party. He would cry out, in amazement,
"Where are all the banner bearers of the partyt
Where are ()ass, Wright of Indiana, Butler, Brough,
Holt, Andy Johnson Where are Dickinson, Dix,
Cochrane Sickles, Lyman Tremaine I Where are
Tames T. 'Brady, Meagher, John K. Porter? Where
are Logan of Illinois,Cannon of Delaware, Guthrie
of Kentucky, Rice of Minnesota, Cony of Maine,.
Robert Walker, and Robert Dale Owen?"
And the Seymours, the Brookses, the Woods, Yet
landlgham, and their confederates, would answer
him : "We have turned them out of the party ; we
have nothing to do with these men whose mimeo
you call." Then we can imagine this Democrat of
the old school asking: " Who. care you, that speak
for the Democratic party t What right have you, to
the good name of Democrats 1 You, Brooks—you
were a bitter Know Nothing, with no words too bad
to apply to faithful Democrats. You, Wood, were

was last evening deprived of standing room at the
hour of ha/f past seven. The audience . and einem
bled to listen to a lecture on "The Ghoste;!T by Arte
mus Ward. The lecture wee very amusingbetts way,
but will bear no comparison with the Emceese of that
delivered last season, by the BRIM lecturer; in this
city. All the old jokes, revised and amended, were
reiterated. The lecturer seemed to forget that his
cudierce bad good memories, and that to those who
had not the advantage of an excee tingly good - Intel
lectual digestion, stale jokes were no more palatable
than stale bread. It was the same thing, over and
over again ; and if the lecturer will persist in ad
:heaping old audiences, he ought likewise to persist
in favoring them with new jokes. A. lecture. from
Aeten us Ward is a joke from beginning to.• end.
But when from season to season there is a repetition
of the same round of puns, the witticisms begin to
Pall upon the public ;and the public, during the long
Interim of many months, naturally expect something
new. We hope the witty lecturer of last evening
will take this hint, and please his hearers even more
than he did last evening. The chief new poinin of
his lecture are contained in the following synopets
Ido not come here for the purpose of, instructing
anybody. I shall not ignore the little people, little
boss, or little girls. I like little girls; I like big
girls just as well. I do not desire you to regard
these prefatory remarks as at all apologetic. I
was never embarrassed but once in my life; the dr
cumetance is a secret, a profound secret; I know it
will go no farther, there are so many ladies present.
It is said the rolling stone gathers no moss. I don't
see what good that would do the rolling atone. I
don't see what the rolling, stone wants to gather
Moss for. As for rising with the lark, I prefer to
rise with gold. Some people say that rocks are
like stones. For my part, I prefer to be
rocked to sleep rather than to be stoned to death.
I intend to go to California by way of the sea ; I
should like to go by way of the Mississippi, because
the way is free I [lmmense applause.] At the close
of one of my bursts of eloquence, one gentleman was
observed to leave the hall; he was very much
moved. Eloquence is like gingerbread ; you only
want one hunk of it at a time. Those people who
deride the present era would have derided Noah
and his ark, although he offered them dead-head
tickets. I might have lectured upon Brigham
Young. I don't know much about him, except
that he resides in Utah and is rather married;
he haa a mother• in-law, which is a good thing
to. have. I might have lectured to you upon
astronomy, and mentioned the stars, among which
the moat prominent is the Southern cross, which is
a mulatto. Instead of lecturing on physical cul
ture, I thought of England for a lecture. I- think
England deserves a lecture.. I thought of music.
I'd give my best head of-hair-and it's a good head
of hair—although, as the soldier said to his lady
love, it's hard to part—[great applause]—to write
well on that. A young and very unmarried lady
whom I once knew, of about arty-two iumraers, or
somarhow about there, used to sing, "My heart is
throbbing," and I sweetly said, "Let it throb." I
might have lectured on Africa. There are no rioters
there, and there is a general disposition to see the
draft in force. You will permit me to say a few
words about people who put on airs. I revere
Bunker Hill, and sometimes when I am in Boston I
stop at the Revere 1101.18 e. I own a farm lathe State
of Maine. I shoult like to sell it. I have a grand
mother—two grandmothers—and I love them. In

foreign relations except Rllfelift. YOl.l - :SICIMber the

EASTON, Oa. 12, 1863
in so short a space of- time, you don't dwell
long on any of them. Like the yellow fever, it don't
detain you long. Ambition is a very good thing in
its way ; Alexander wept, as you, no doubt, haVe
been informed, because he had no more worlds to
conquer, and if he were alive now, no doubt he
would weep again and be appointed to a
teigadiership. Poetry never occurred to me
as a subject for a lecture. If some of our
newspaper rhymsters had been hens, their lays
might have been of more profit to the market.
There were two new subjects which I had intended
to grapple with ; but able minds do not grapple in
my family.- Those two subjects are Slavery and
Temperance., Will you listen to me for four hours
on Slavery and Temperance? - I might lecture on.
Love, Courtship, Matrimony, and soforth. There
are unpleasant marriages, and there will be as long
as unpleasant people continue to get married. In all
marriages there are squalls. Of course, in all mar
riages you must look out for squalls. [Great laugh
ter.] To me, absurd - people are most refreshing.
Among these is the old maid who objected to
a mansion because it had not a bow window
in it. The laugh comes in, ladies and gentle
men, at ,the word bow. I am reliably informed
thatßoston has moat beautiful statuary. I know
it from what I saw in Rome,—l allude to Rome on
the Pennsylvania Railroad, where they atop every
ten minutes for refreshment. Now, with 'your per
mission, we will talk about the restoration of the
Union. I have some convictions on the subject, ob
tained in the midst of a checkered career. I don't
exactly know what a checkered career is, but I use
the phrase because it sounds well. Those men who
would pull the Union clock to pieces will fail, and
find their endeavors shattered beneath the lightning
stroke of the popular will. Ladies and gentlemen,
I expect to lecture in San 'Francisco, California,
about four weeks from to.day. - Tickets admitting
to this lecture will admit to that, free of expense.
