We are marching to the polls, hoys, we're going to the fipht, Shouting the battle-cry of freedom, And we beat the glorious stars for the Union and the right, Sbouti ng the battle-cry of freedom. CHORUS— Woodward forever. Hurrah! boys, hurrah ! Down with the mobites, up with the law, For we're marching to the polls, boys, going to the fight, Shouting the battle-cry of freedom. We will meet the Abolitionists, with tearless hearts and true, Shouting the battle-cry of freedom, And we'll show them what Democracy for Liberty can do, Shouting the battle-cry of freedom. CHORUS —Woodward forever, &c. Ves, for Liberty and Union we're springing to the fight, Shouting the battle-cry of freedom, And the vict'ry shall be ours, for we're rising in our might, Shout in;- the battle-cry of freedom. CHORTS— Woodward forever, &c.

CHORUS-- Wood ward forever, tic. From the Valley Spirit. Judge Woodward's Loyalty. The treasury robbers, who have their arms in the public purse up to lhair e1K..... • * • -• tL~j crcctton or Judge Woodward, ure I wytug out against his loyalty. The argument 1 is that he is not loyal to "MS," and, therefore, j the people should leave "IM," to fatten on their earnings. This is the substance of their groans. No honest or fair-minded man has, or needs to have, the slightest anxiety on the point. A man reared in our midst, always living under | the eyes of the people of Pennsylvania, exercis ing great public trusts with the highest fidelity owning no property and possessing no interest whatever beyond our holders —what motive to disloyalty lias such a mailt What word or act of his life implies disloyalty to his Government'? He has sworn to support the Constitution of the United States and of the State of Pennsyl vania many times; when—where —has he vio lated that oath ! What patriot, what shoddy con tractor, what thief, even, dare charge him with its violation ? llis speech in Independence Square, in 1800, j lias been garbled, mutilated and forged by such | organs of the National Administration as The Press, but they dare not spread it before the public. VVc have published it in our columns, and most of the Democratic papers in the State have done likewise. It is its own best refuta tion of these slanderous perversions. As a further evidence of the general drift of Judge Woodward's thoughts, we publish below part of a judicial opinion, delivered by him in the Supreme Court, on the constitutionality of the soldiers stay law. We italicise a few sen tences. Sucli incidental expressions, uttered from the bench in the course of judicial duty— not framed as catch words of a campaign, but grave and solemn expositions of the law, arc better evidences of a man's mental condition and views of public policy than statements and professions, prepared in the heat of a political contest, us bids for votes. Our candidate lias no sucli bids to offer. lie is not an obscure or unknown man. His life is before the people of Pennsylvania —a people whom lie has served faithfully through nearly all of his mature years i always wearing purely and without stain the honors with which they have crowned him. We ask that that life be read truly. We ask noth ing more. Its records are an all-sufficient an swer to the calumnies of the creatures who are hired to slander him. The opinion to which we ask attention vindi cated the soldier's right to exemption from ex- j editions, and other legal process, while serving j in the armies of his country. It maintained the constitutionality and justice of a law which, I while it could not avail to protect the volunteer from the plundering hand of Curtin, secured his little possessions to his family until he came hack to maintain them once more by his daily labor. Ragged, starved and shoddy stricken by the grasping hand of a false Governor, this law left his wife and babies a bed, a stove and a cow; and when its validity was impeached in the Su preme Court, W oodwnrd was its champion.— Judge Reed alone dissented—the only Judgo of that bench elected by Republican votes! Judge Woodward's Opinion on the Sol diers' Stay Law. "WoonwAßn, J.—The 4th section of the Act of 18th April, 1861, l*. L. p. 409, is in those words: No civil process shall issue or lie enforced a gntiist any person mustered info tho scrvioe of this State or of the United States, during the term for which he shall be engaged in such ser vice. nor until thirty days after he shall have b.en discharged therefrom; Provided; that the operation of all statutes of limitation shall be suspended upon all claims against such person during such term." "Tho principal question upon the record is, I whether this section be constitutional. Altho' [ it occurs in an act supplementary to the penal j laws of the Commonwealth and does not men ; tion the rm/ilury service, either in the State or j of the United States, yet it is universally under ■ stood, and no doubt correctly understood, to be | a stay law of all legal process against soldiers I mustered into tbe service of the Government. And it is a stay for a term—the term for which jhe shall be engaged. The act of Congress of j 22d July, 1801, under which tbe first half mil | lion of volunteers were mustered into the ser i vice of the United States, fixed the term at not ] more than three years nor less than six months, > and the affidavit which was filed on belmlf of | the defendant says that he had been mustered ■in for three years or during the war. This is the same phrase that was used in the 19tli sec -1 tion of our Assembly of loth May, iB6l, in reference to the Reserve Volunteer Corps, und ; means three years or less, or not exceeding three | years. The terms of engagement, therefore, during which the above section meant that the t defendant should not be subject to civil process was three years from the date of his muster, if the war should last so lo.tg, and if it should not, i then until it should end. Thirty days were to I be added after his discharge, which would make ' the utmost extent of the term three years and . thirty days. The reference to the duration of the war is a restriction of the term, not an ex- I tension of it beyond three years and thirty days, j The duration of the war was, at the maximum i period of the stay—three years and thirty days i from the date of the muster—is susceptible of ascertainment with absolute certainty. It was I suggested that the volunteer might re-enlist at the expiration of his term, and because this was possible that the term of his engagement was iiecosj irily uncertain. The answer is that the statute gives but one stay, which i 9 to be com- : puted fiutn the time of the otiginal muster, and | a re-enlistment would not renew the stay. The j statute refers itself for the time of engagement! to the laws that were then in force fixing the pe riod of enlistment, and, therefore, we construe it according to the tenor of those laws. "Such being the significance and effect of the I section, was the Legislature authorized to en act it? "'WP IIUVA rtfton anirl llin> *>■ L _ . T.eiirtiug and 1 prior contracts, and we have followed the dis- | ( tinetion which prevails in the Supreme Court |. of the United States, between the obligation of I the contract and the remedies furnished by law for enforcing the obligation. We understand the rule to be that whilst the Legislature may not impair the obligation they may modify the j remedy. But it sometimes happens the parties ( contract concerning the remedy—that they stip ulate in the body of the contract that in case of failure of payment by a certain day there j shall he no stay of execution, or that the mort gagee may enter and sell the mortgaged estate j —or, that all exemption rights shall be waived, la such cases the rule is, that the remedy be comes part of the obligation of the contract, and any subsequent statute which affects the reme dy impairs the obligation, and is unconstitution : al. Brown v. Kcnzie, 1 Howard, 322. and Billmyer v. Evans, 4 Wr. 327, are illustrations of this rule. The time and manner in which j slay laws shall operate, are properly legislative ! questions, and will generally depend, said Judge j Baldwin, in Jackson v. Lamphire, 3d Peters' ; 11 p. 290, on the sound discretion of the Legis j lature ; according to the nature of the titles, the situation of the country, and the emergency j which leads to the onactment. Cases may oc j cur where the provisions of a law may lie so ! unreasonable as to amount to a denial of the 1 right, and call for the interposition of the court.' j In Brown, liaiguel & Co. v. Gorgas, 5 Wr. 441, | we had an instance of an unreasonable stay law , —unreasonable because of the indefiniteness of | the possible stay, and of the subversion of the I authority of the Courts over judgments upon j their records. From the ruling in that case ; i and the authorities cited, it may be inferred that, I i in respect to contracts which do not treat of I 1 remedies, we hold any law to be constitutional | i which gives a stay for a time that is definite I | and not unreasonable, but unconstitutional if : I the stay be for an indefinite time, or for a time . j that is unreasonable, though definite, 'j "We have seen that the" stay given by the | 1 act of 1861 was not indefinite as to its rnaxim i um duration, but was for a period certain and prefixed. * * * •Was that period reasonable ? The slay is a long one, it must be confessed —lougerthan is usual—longer than justified, except by most peculiar and press ing circumstances. There is great force inHhc ' reasons which tho learned Judge, below urged against it. The enforced delay of a civil right, j | the deterioration of the mortgaged estate, and , ! the consequent pecuniary loss are entitled to great consideration in judging of the reasonable ness of tho law. Everybody feels that a stay iof remedies on a mortgage for fifty years, for 1 instance, would be a wanton sacrifice of the : constitutional rights of the citizen. What bet ter is a stay for a less time if it be long enough to work essential depreciation of the security t ' "Yet it is impossible to separate this question of reasonableness from the actual circumstances i j,, which the country found itself at the date of ; | the law. Eleven States had seceded or revoltod ' | from the Federal Union, and lind set up an in- j depeudent Government within tho jurisdiction ; I of tho Constitution of tho United States, and i! armed possession bad been taken of forts, anse nals. custom bouses, navy yards, and other ■ property of tho United States within the boun f I dories of tho revolted States. In tho judgment > i of the President and Congress, who were tho ■ i duly constituted authorities, tho occasion re -5 quired an immense increase of the army and : 1 navy, and the active employment of both of 31 these strong arms to suhduo tho rebellion and i restore the Union Accordingly Congress au thorized the President to ace pt voluutoers, ami , call upon the States for their militia. He did WHOLE NUMBER, 3074 1 j both, and a vast array has been in the field for ! ! many months. '•Now if a stay or exemption for three years • would not be tolerated in ordinary timeß, did not these circumstances constitute an emergency that justified the pushing of legislation to the extremest limit of the Constitution f No citizen ! could be blamed for volunteering. He was in j voked to do so by appeals as strong as hi a love 'j of country. In the nature of things there is I nothing unreasonable in exempting a soldier's pro ! verty from execution whilst he is absent from home battling for the supremacy of the Constitution and the integrity of the Union. And when he has not run before be was sent, but yielded himself up to the call of his country, his self sacrificing patriotism pleads, trumpet-tongued, for all the indulgence from his creditors which the Legisla ture have power to grant. If the term of in dulgence seem long in this instance, it was not longer than the time for which the President and Congress dematded the soldiers' services. It was not for him, nor is it for us, to rojudge the discretion of the President and Congress in this regard. Basing ourselves on what they ( . did, constitutionally, the question for us is, whether the stay granted by our own Legisla- j ture to our citizen soldiirs was unreasonable. In view of the extraordinary circumstances of the case, we cannot prononnce it unreasonable. J j We see in it no wanton or careless disregard of I the obligation of contracts, but only a sincere , effort to enable the general Government to , prosecute with success a war which, in its exclusive right of judgment, it resolved to wage. "Another circumstance which bears on the reasonableness of the enactment is the provision which suspends all statues of limitation in favor of the soldier during ail the time he is exempted front process. The provisions were reciplocal and both were reasonable." The Two Parties. There is a wide difference between the Dem ocratic and Republican parties. The Democratic party relies upon the people at the ballot-boxes to redress political grievan ces. The Republican party resorts to bayonets and military intimidation at the ballot-boxes KYsr.'' " *lwalto.ia i— ■"• 'I he Republican party believe that the Con stitution should be disregarded if their party is in power, and the Administration of their choice deems it ''necessary" to set it aside. The Democratic party believe in the great constitutional right of the habeas corpus, as a shield to the citizens, against unlawful arrest, and that Congress alone can suspend it in time of insurrection or invasion. The Republican party believe that this right should not be regarded if their partisun Presi dent sees fit to suppress it. The Democratic party believe that the civil law is superior to the military- The Republican party believe that military power is superior to the civil. The Democratic party are opposed to arbitra ry arrests, "without due process of law," where the Courts are unobstructed. The Republican party favor such arrests. The Democratic party Ixdieve that the States are sovereign n all political power which they have not delegated to the Federal Government. The Republicans centralize power in the Fed eral Government, and sanction rights which subvert the rights of States and suppress the liberties of the people. The Democrats believe that the Union can be maintained only upon the principles of the Con stitution upon which it was based—but when all the States are not admitted as equals in the Union, the Union itsolf cannot stand. The Republicans propose that a portion of the States shall dictate to another ns to the State institutions that shall exist within their jurisdiction, and hold that a portion of the States should be dependencies to the more nu merous and powerful States. The Democrats hold that secession and rebel lion arc hostile to the Constitution, and wicked ly in violation of the pledged faitli of the State ; and that the Constitution, and the laws in pur suance thereof, shall be maintained in all the States of the Union. The Republicans go much further, and hold that the laws under the Constitution —the Fu gitive Slave law and others—shall NOT be main tained, but destroyed by armed force—that the President's word or order shall override Consti tution and law, and destroy not only provisions of the Constitution, but Stute laws and State institutions. The Union as it was, they will not have. A r o Union with slaveholders is their i.. • • : The people should judge which set of princt i pics are the best, in peace or in war, and which party is the most likely to save the Union. A Few Words of Exhortation. Tiio draft has dealt quite fairly with the Republicans of this eounty. 'lhey have been moderately lucky, and have, perhaps, druwn a full share of prizes in this unwelcome lottery. We do hope they will now prove their faith by their works. They have voted, plead, preached, and prayed for a more vigorous prosecution ot the war and havo finally been drafted therefor. Wc must insist upon their standing squarely up to the work. Wc hope they will not throw discredit upon tho good cause, which they pro-1 (ess to love so much, by suoukuig out through tho S3OO exomption clause.

"I believe that the Constitution has given no power to the General Government to interfere in this matter and to have slaves or no slaves depends upon the people in each State alone.— Hut lieeides the constitutional objection, I am persuaded that the obvious tendency of such interference on the part of the States which have no slaves, with the property of their fellow citizens of the others is to produce a state of discontent and jealousy that will in the end 11rove fatal to the Union."—EX-PRESIDENT HARRISON. "With the Abolitionists the rights of property are nothing; the deficiency of- the powers of tha general got eminent is nothing: the acknowledg ed and incontestihle powers of the States are nothing; the dissolution of the Union, and the overthrow of a government in which are con centrated the hopes of the civilized world, are nothing. A single idea has taken possession of their minds, and onward they pursue it. over looking all barriers, rt cLless and regardless of all consequences."—HENßY CLAY. "If these infernal fanatics and Abolitionists ever get the power in their hands, they will override the constitution, set the Supremo Court at defiance, change and make laws to suit themselves, lay violent hands on those who differ with lliern in opinion or dare question their fidelity; and finaily bankrupt the country and deluge it with bIood."—DANIEL WEBSTER.
