Children owe much of their Sickness. to Colds. —
No matter where the disease may appear to be seat
ed, its origin may be traced to suppressed perspiration
or a Cold. Cramps and Lung Complaints are di
rect products of Colds. In short Colds are the har
bingers of half the diseases that afflict humanity,
for as they are caused by checked perspiration, and
as five- eights of the waste matter of the body es
capes through the pores, if these pores are closed,
that portion of diseases necessarily follows. Keep
clear, therefore, of Coldß and Coughs, the great
precursers of disease, or if contracted, breaic them

The Governor and the Tonnage
Tax.
We have already treated our readers to a
curious chapter in the history of the admin
istration of public affairs of this State under
the auspices of Governor OuitTiN. Whether
it was calculated to recommend him for a
second term they will be able to judge for
themselves.
But there was another act more damag
ing by far, and that was his signature of
the infamous bill to repeal the Tonnage Tax.
lie knew and confessed that it was atro
ciously wrong. He could not but know that
it was procured—as has been since shown j
by the report of a Committee of the House I
—by corrupt and illegal influences. He
was solemnly admonished, as was the Leg
islature, that it would be ruinous to the par
ty and himself, and that the men who voted
for it—outside of Philadelphia—would be
left at home by their constituents, lie ad
mitted the probable consequences, as to the
party and himself, and was solemnly and
repeatedly pledged to refuse it his assent.
He signed it with indecent haste, during a
recess of the Legislature, under the pressure
of his principal counsellors, THOS. A. SCOTT
and A. K. MCCLUUF., in opposition to the
remonstrances of his Attorney General (the
Hon. S. A. PURVIANCE, now of this city),
and his Secretary of State, and after hav
ing given to those gentlemen the most pos
itive assurances that it should be vetoed,
lie signed it too, immediately after these
assurances were given, without the knowl
edge of the former gentleman, who was his
constitutional adviser, and upon a private
agreement in writing, made by THOMAS A.
SCOTT, for the company, to pay the sum of
$75,000 per annum into the Treasury,
which agreement he concealed from the peo
ple, and afterwards surrendered to the com
pany, without even preserving a copy of it.
When interrogated at the next session upon
this point, he admitted the fact of the agree
ment and its surrender, and excused his con
duct on the ground that the company was
actually paying more than that amount in
taxes to the State already, and that of course
it was of no further value to the people.—
The record showed that they had not been
half tnai an, buiu, ana tne
whole statement was contradicted by the
testimony of the Attorney General himself,
who swore before the Hopkins Committee
that the paper was given by SCOTT, and pla
ced in his hands as an official document;
that it was attcrwards demanded from him
by JOHN EDUAU THOMPSON, President of
the Company, on the ground that Scott had
no right to give it; that he refused to sur
render it for the reason that it was a Public !
Record; and that it disappeared from his
office, without his privity or any knowledge
on his part as to the way in which it was
withdrawn! These facts were before the
Hopkins Committee, and ignored in their
report , the Chairman (Mr. Hopkins) con
senting reluctantly to their suppression, for
the purpose of securing a unanimous report,
which he could not otherwise have got from
a committee, whose good will the Governor,
if not greatly misrepresented, had spared
no pains to secure. They arc still of record,
and well known to the copperheads who fa
vor his nomination, and will be duly para- (
ded, of course, if the Union party of this j
State should be so unwise as to invite it,
by selecting him as their candidate—a step ,
which, by the way, neither the Pcnnsylva- ■
nia Railroad Company nor his confidential ,
advisers and managers, who, as the news- j
papers tell us, have been so recently resum- ,
moned to Ilarrisburg on the occasion of the \
invasion of the State; nor any other of the
parties who took BO much interest in secur- (
ing for him the promise of foreign employ- (
ment, would be likely to desire. \
The same Legislature passed three other
acts, all part and parcel-of the same gigan
tic scheme of spoliation and domination—
one robbing the Treasury of seven millions
of dollars, in the name of the Sunbury and
Erie Railroad Company—and the other two,
to perfect the whole arrangement by author
izing cither the merger or transfer of that
road itself to the Pennsylvania Central Rail
road Company, which has since been effect
ed under the form of a ninety-nine year's
lease. Governor Curtin, with no apparent
will of his own, approved them all, appa
rently according to programme, thereby strip
ping the Sinking Fund of at least eighteen
millions of dollars, and making this mon
strous corporation the permanent master of
the State and its Legislature! Whether it
OWNS them now or not, may be judged by
the fact, that although it had been solemnly
found by a Committee of the House, that
this legislation was procured by Thos. A.
Scott by fraudulent and illegal means; that
he had evaded the process of the House;
and that the President oi the Company had
declined an, examination on a Doctor's cer
tificate, a second feeble effort to repeal the
law was baffled and defeated at the last ses
sion, and no attempt was made to direct a
prosecution, or even to revive the inquiry,
and bring the dcfaultuig witnesses before
the Ijegisiaturc! <
WHOUE NUMBER, 3075
These facts will be so new and so start
ling to many of those who have been inno
cently, because ignorantly, advising the re
nomination of the present incumbent, as to
make it necessary, perhaps, to furnish the
evidence of them. We accordingly subjoin
the Message referred to, the Report of the
Auditor General, and the testimony of the
Hon. S. A. Purviance, in regard to the facts
attending the signature. The first has no
precedent, we venture to say, in Legislative
history. The last is equally curious, as il
lustrative of some of the peculiarities of the
Governor, and his eminent unfitness for the
position. All will be useful, byway of ref
erence, in case any one shall be disposed to
press his claims in the face of such a pres
entation.
From tbe Pittsburg Gazette, (Rep.) July 23.
GOVERNOR CURTIN AGAIN.
Political Effects of the Legisla
tion of 1861.
We have already referred to the doings
of the Legislature of 1861—the Bame which
came in with Gov. Curtin, and participated
with him in the enactments and omissions
of that eventful year. Let us see now how
far tlie Republican party of this State was
affected by this legislation.
The people DID pass, at the'next election,
in the way that had been predicted, upon
the acts, or at least the crowning act of that
memorable session, by refusing to return any
man, outside of Philadelphia, who had giv
en his vote for that measure, with only the
single exception of one small constituency,
which was specially interested in the Sun
bury and Erie Railroad, and whose repre
sentative has the advantage of controlling
the newspaper of the district; and the great
Republican or People's party fell at once
from its high estate into a minority in the
House at the very next session. The party
was made the scape-goat for all this, and
relegated to the wilderness, with the sins of
the Legislature and the Governor—though
largely shared by the Democratic element
itself—laid upon its back. Whether justly
or not, it was at least the popular belief,
that they hail sold the people and betrayed
the State. If the Governor himself—the
(rroatput cinpor nnniuoflni'.MiF oil V*v,
cause tne highest and most powerful—had
been the candidate, instead of the inferior
agents of all this robbery, does any body
doubt that his fate would have been the
same, or even worse ?Is he—is any body—
weak enough to think that these things are
already forgiven and forgotten, merely be
cause the press has spared him out of con
sideration for his office—because of the en
grossing interest of the war—or for the sake
of other people, whose influence has been
strong enough to silence it?
But there is more to the same purpose,
and more for which we have to thank our
present Governor. If the first session of
his rule was disastrous to the State and to
the party, the next was equally unfortunate
to both. If the locks of the strong man
were shorn in the former, it was only to turn
him over bodily to the lords of the Philis
tines in the latter. If the one bankrupted
the Treasury, and shook our power in the
State, the other consummated the work of
ruin, by betraying us directly into the hands
of the enemy, and conferring upon our bleed
ing country and ourselves the unexpected
boon of a Copperhead Senator. It is as
demonstrable as any proposition in geome
try that the friends of the Union who are
now expected to trust this man anew, arc
indebted to him for the loss of a vote in the
supreme advisory council of the nation in
the most important crisis of its history.
And this we shall proceed to make out in
our next number, which will be devoted to
the cunning structure and untimely catas
trophe of the Hopkins Committee—to be
followed, in due course, by a fuller presenta
tion of the still more destructive effects of
the action and non-action of the Legislature
of 1862, upon the declining fortunes of the
great Republican party, with Andrew G.
Curtin as its sword-bearer—with a Jonah,
and not a Palinurus, at the helm.
From the Fork P. Gazette.
Governor Curtin.
] While George W. Woodward, our Demo
cratic candidate, remains quietly at home, at
tending to the duties assigned him by the peo
ple when they elected him Supreme Judge, and
where he will remain until the people call him
to fill another station, our provincial Governor
deserts his Gubernatorial chair and is wander
ing about the country, formirg political combi
nations, soliciting votes in person, and judging
from the tono of his party press, slandering his
opponent, and trying to deceive the pcoplo by
professions of patriotism, in order to carry out
his own selfish ends. He claims to bo the pe
culiar friend of the soldier and the foreigner,
while it is well known that he refused rations
to somo of our bravo volunteer militia, who
came here to defend our borders against the re
cant raid, and belonged to the prescriptive
Know Nothing party, and served as Secretary
of State under the Know-Nothing administra
tion of Governor Pollock.

tion party are trying to practice upon the peo

VOL 7, NO 7.
Can any thing be more ludicrous than the
leaders of that infamous and profligate organ
ization, who have just emerged from the dark
plottings and windings of Know-Nothing lodges,
objecting to the election of Judge Woodward,
because, as they allege, he is not sufficiently
friendly to our foreign born fellow citizens.
These brazen and shameless political mounte
banks must imagine the people the veriest dupes.
Think for a moment of a party, just sifter hav
ing counseled, not only the disfranchisement of
a man because of the accident of his birth but
his proscription, because of his religion, now
appearing as the special champion of civil and
religious equality. Could political profligacy
and duplicity exceed such an exhibition of par
tizan effrontery? Imagine a set of desperate
partizans exulting in the slaughter of men, wo
men and children, because of their religions con
nections, or the dashing out of brains of inno
cents upon the bosoms of their mothers, and the
jeers and derisions with which they hailed the
crackling and crumbling cathedral as it tumbled
by the torch of the incendiary, and we have a
fair conception of thoso who are now objecting
to the Democratic candidate because of his want
of sympathy for civil and religious freedom.

CrThe N. Y. World recently published brief

I Madison, in such a manner as not to indicate
the authors. Ono of the Abolition papers of
that city referred to the extracts and termed
them "Copperhead hisses" of the World. The
World then goes back on Mr. Abolition editor
and congratulates him on the compliments paid
to the patriotism of Washington and Madison-
