BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 9, IBG3. A Bas9 Slander Exposed. Headquarters Depot Camp /undid Corps, 1 Meridian //ill, D. 6'., Sept 23, 1833. j ' MR. T. J. 1 In. IIA.M. Pittsburg, PH.: ! Silt: I have noticed in the newspapers a report of a mass convention held in Pitts burg on the 16lh inst, in which you arc rep resented to have said, in response to an in quiry of one Mathews, as to where Wood ward (meaning Judge Woodward, the Dem ocratic nominee for Governor) was when Cu.tin was attending to the soldier's wants; : "that when Judge Woodward's gallant son ' came home from Gettysburg, wounded in | both legs, his father told him he might be i thankful lie got otf so well—that he ought to have been wounded in the hpart for fight ing in such a cause." As my only brother capable of bearing arms, who has made two campaigns with the Htate militia, has never been wounded, I presume that 1 am t he son of Judge Wood i ward alluded to in the foregoing statement, ; which statement I desire to brand, as ycu knew it to be when you made it, a wicked and deliberate falsehood. A cause so weak as to need such assistance must be weak in deed. A man so lost to honor and decency as to use such means for partisan ends de serves to be drummed out of respectable so , ciety. As the Lieutenant Colonel commanding the 2u Pennsylvania Reserves, I participa ted in the battle of Gettysburg, but wasfor ! tunate enough to escape unharmed, except A ; slight injury to my right loot, in which I j had been wounded during the Peninsular ; campaign. Just after the fall of Sumter, in the spring of 1861, finding that war between the two great sections of our common country was inevitable, under the call of the President for three years' volunteers, I raised a com pany in Philadelphia, which afterwards be came incorporated with the 2d Regiment Pennsylvania Reserves. Any one familiar with tiie business of raising volunteer or ganizations knows it to be an expensive un dertaking. Every cent that my company cost, with the exception of the small amount that my limited means enabled me to devote .i.- t ... r ., myiatiH,;-. Woodward. During all the time that elaps ed before my company was mustered into service, I lived in his house, and had, sq far as I needed it, his co-opcration in my en terprise. As Major of the 2il Pennsylvania Re serves, 1 participated in the Peninsular cam paign, and was wounded at Charles City Cross Roads, in the right foot and left leg— by which wounds I am crippled for life— was taken prisoner, confined in the Libby prison in Richmond, and, after being parol ed, was taken to my father's house inPhil- I adelphia, where, for four weary months I , was confined to my bed, suffering intensely, j but with that suffering alleviated and final-. 'Jy relieved, by not only the best medical ' skill, but also by the constant, kind, un- I wearying attention of my father, mother and ; sisters. During all that time, as indeed dur j ing my whole life, no father could be more | kind, more solicitous for a son's welfare, than was mine. Almost daily conversations occurred between us, in which the war, and the present and the future of our country were discussed; and, although he freely criticised, and often condemned, <ho manner in which the war was managed by the Ad ministration, never did he utter a sentiment in sympathy with the doctrine of secession, nor a syllable of approval of the course ta ken by the people of the South ; and never did he say aught which was not calculated to encourage me in the performance of my duty a3 a soldier. I have been thus full, sir, in my refuta tion of your slander, not because you need or deserve this kind of attention at my hands, but because this refutation must be made as public as was the calumny, and I desire the public to have the exact truth in regard to this matter. In conclusion, sir, I will remark that it is poor encouragement to our soldiers in the field lo find that while they arc toiling and 1 lighting for their country, lying politicians at home are using them as the instruments of their partisan malice, and such an in stance as this is a fair illustration of pretended love for soldiers which certain parties parade, so constantly. That love must be sincere indeed which, while it over lays the soldier with fulsome adulation, stabs to the quick all that he holds near and dear. OHO. A. WOODWARD, Late Lieut. Couuhj. 'ld Pa Reserve/?, Maj. Invalid Corps. Another Draft. All persons liable to conscription will remeoi be: that Andrew G. Curtin said, in a late 1 speech in Johnstown, that ho was "in favor I of the immediate raising cf an army of two | hundred and fifty thousand more men," and j that 110 "always insisted on throwing the larg est number of men into the field—and of spar- j ing no expense." If Curtin should he elected j Governor he will use Ids influence and power j to have another draft made, and thus drag so 1 many morn victims to the field of slaughter and burden those left behind with debt—all for ' the beloved nigger. Think of this matter, \o tors of Pennsylvania when you come to vote. ' Judge Woodward on tho Word "White" in our Constitution. In January 1838, twenty-five years ago, A great question CAME before tiie Conven tion w!licit made OUT present Constitution whether the right to vote should be confin ed to the white men, or extended so as fo embrace the blacks. To the powerful ef forts and speech of Judge Woodward upon that occasion, we arc indebted for that word in our Constitution which now, in view of the emancipation policy of the Administra tion, becomes more valuable than ever.— The J ttdge commenced his great speech up on the motion to insert the word "white" by saying: "Who ought to be voters in Pennsylva nia, or, in other words, who ought to have political control of our government? This is a question of the first impression and of groat magnitude. When you have estab lished and distributed its powers among the several departments—legislative, executive I and judicial, it remains to decide who shall direct and control that government. The machine may be well supplied with all the necessary wheels and springs, but in pre paring and fitting them no question can a rise of so great importance, as who shall have the regulation of its 'motion and di rection, when it is jinished and, ready for use. The question has now to be answer ed, with reference to two distinct and sepa rate classes of men, the whites and the blacks, and for all the reflection I have been able to give on the subject, I am prepared to say, the political powers of this govern ment, ought to be exercised exclusively by white men. In coming to this conclusion 1 have endeavored, a3 tar as possible, to di vest my mind of all popular prejudices a gainst the African race, whom we have a mong us. They deserve my sympathies, and they have thcrn; hut I feel unwilling | to surrender this , government, in whole, or in part, into tlieh- keeping, and I am, there fore, prepared to vote for this amendment an 1 to say in our Constitution that the vo ters of Pennsylvania shall be WHITE free ml" . >ro swoerrt procccUeu iu d. atatesman-iifco manner to support his position, in reply to j Thaddeus St events and others who had spo- j ken in favor of conferring the right to vote ! upon blacks. Several years ago President Lincoln made ; a speech on this same subject at a gather- | ing of negroes in Cincinnati for the purpose | ot presenting sir. Chase, now Secretary oi j the Treasury, with a silver pitcher. Then j and there sir. Lincoln said, amid the sweet j aroma of perspiring negroes, "We feel, i therefore, that all Icgel distinctions between i individuals of the same community, found- 1 ed in any such circumstances as color, ori- i gin or the like, arc hostile to the genius of our institutions and incompatible with the : true "history of American liberty. 1 cm-1 brace with pleasure, this opportunity of do-\ claring my disapprobation of tire clause of; the Constitution which denies to that portion | of the colored people the right of suffrage." \ Cow Curtin belongs to the same school j of Abolitionists. In his recent speech ac- j cepting the nomination he said nothing a- j gainst the President's emancipation and nc-1 gro equality policy. White men of Pennsylvania, are any of j you governed by your passions and preju dices as to be willing to admit negroes to terms of political and social equality. If so, vote for Curtin, if not vote for Judge Woodward. More Frauds. Enormous frauds upon the Government— Millions of Dollars taken—Prominent shoddy Politicians under arrest. llarkisburcj, July 30 Considerable ex citement lias been created-here by the dis covery of enormous frauds upon the govern ment during the recent army movement in this region, consequent upon the rebel raid. The amounts are stated at millions of dol lars. A number of State politicians have i been placed under arrest, and the subject j will receive the most searching investigation , by the War Department. The most cor rupt practices have prevailed in hor3C con tracts, and in clothing and subsistence sup- j plies. They throw the "shoddy" operations I at Harrisburg in the summer of 1861, cn- j tirely in the shade. Many of the same par-1 ties arc implicated, and the gangs who have infested the State Capitol in the winter have reaped a rich summer harvest. It is a sad commentary that while thousands of brave j men rushed to arms to defend the State from invasion, and while the Governor was tick- . ling them with honeyed words, his minimis j and followers were permitted, like harpies, to deprive them of food and to compel them 1 to make long and weary marches, without 1 even the luxury of crackers and porfe. It is a matter of record that while theso con tractors were receiving enormous sums, the gallant Philadelphia soldiers were placed on an allowance of a cracker a day for several days together, thanks to the neglect and cor ruption of the Executive Department of the State of Pennsylvania.—Philadelphia Inquirer, July 31, 1863. 1 mioiiK.vijiiiien, 307s VOL. 7, NO 10. More about the "Soldier's Friend." The Philadelphia Inquirer, of July, 18G1, contained the following article on CAMERON , (the pure SIMOX,) and Gov. S.'tcxhhj CL T RTIN : | CAMERON at that time, was Secretary of War. ; and in company with CI'KTIN, was making a "nice thing" for both by talking "loyalty." The Inquirer, be it rememliered, is the leading liepnblican journal of Philadelphia : Cameron vs. Curtin. Between two stools our three months' vol unteers seem quite likely to come to llie ground. They write to the Secretary of War to say that tlicy are barefooted and more or less naked; that they would like to be able to leave their tents in daylight with out infringing the laws of decency, etc.— Mr. Cameron replies that the United States cannot supply the three months' volunteers with clothing, and refers them to Governor Curtin. That functionary makes answer: Fellow citizens, have I not already given you a complete outfit of shoddy and pine shaving shoes? If your shoes did not last three days, reflect that my proteges have I made a handsome tiling of it. If your trow 3ers Lave dropped to rags, at once consider that my contractors could not make cent, per cent, and furnish you with a respecta ble article. If your clothes are not well lined, their pockets are. If you are not well shod, you are well shoddied—so be satisfied. j Our columns, a few days ago, contained I a most melancholy letter from Federal Hill; ' and its statements arc supported by other l information. We are told by a friend who has a relative amongst the troops there, that i his clothes wore in rags three days after be- I ing put on—that he had eaten no meat, none j fit to eat having been served out, etc., etc. j If Mr. Cameron refers to Gov. Curtin re j specting clothes, Gov. Curtin may refer back to Mr. Cameron, respecting such a | bominable rations— Arcades ambo nobile fratrum. —Philadelphia Inquirer. From the Harrisburg Patriot & Union. What Got. Curtin DID NOT DO, and what he DID DO. *• - ■ .- * j led very sanguine of Ins election, or they worn. j not resort to the miserable shifts they Jo to bol ■ ster him up. At this moment they are pulling I the "Soldiers' Friend" string'with great energy, | but to little purpose. They seera to have settled i down in the conviction that only a very strong ! mifi.ury feeling in his favor and a general belief that his election is necessary to preserve the Na tioa (Heaven save the mark!) ran secure his [ election ; and hence they resort to every means to produce such a feeling and such a belief. The people are assured by them that he is verry "loyal" and Woodward is very disloyal—that the President desires his election and dreads the elec tion of Woodward more than anything else; that his election would confirm the administra tion, put down the rebellion, and save the life ! of the nation, while Woodward's election would cripple the President, insure the independence ' of the Southern Confederacy, and of course sever the Union forever. Tins is said to the people to j frighten them into the support of Curtin. It is | mainly false in regard to Curtin, and entirely false in relation t > Woodward. But what of I that ! It is the only means by which Curtin can be elected, und therefore they do not scruple to use it. This is tueir course with the people. They pull another string for the soldiers. They tell tliein that Curtin furnished the President with 200,000 troops —that lie raised the lteserve Corps, and has since watched over it as a lien does over her brood—(if tlioy would say as a hawk does over a partridge tliey would bo near er right)—that he alter the Reserves were sent to the army, made extraordinary exertions to raise a second similar body of troopj to protect the frontier and many other tilings which are equal ly false. These are things which Gov. Curtin did not do. Let us see wiiat he did do, to en title him to the conlidence and support of th soldicrs and the people. Hero is a catalogue of come of the praise worthy acts which lie did perform, as wo find it in the Watchman, published in the town of Bellefonte, Centre county, Gov. Curtin's home: WHAT GOV.

"Obedience to the Constitution and laws," exchanged for military necessity, tyr anny and despotism. "Peace, harmony and national prosperity," swallowed up in desola tion and rivers of blood. Yet tlieso men have the audacity to ask you to vote for them again ! Voters of Bedford county remember that every vote cast for Andrew G. Curt in, for Gov ernor, will l>e construed by the Abolition party, to be in favor of a continuation of the war, with all its concomitants the draft will bo "vig orously" enforcod, taxes will be increased, and everything we consume will double in prices in the event of his election and a few men will become wealthy nabobs, at the expense of the many and the pesrent white owners of proper ty in common with the less fortunate of their race will be reduced to perpetual slavery. The defeat of Judge Woodward would be hailed bv the Jacobins with unbounded joy, and a demand would at once be made for "the last man and the last dollar."

In two weeks the bravo men were barefooted and nearly naked. A pretty "soldier's friend," to be sure. How mucli of the profits Curtia pocketed the public never discovered." Tho Washington (Pa.) Review hits this hand blow : "Tho only good word the Abolition friend of Governor Curtin oan nay of him is "that ho is the soldier's friend." Who are the friends of Governor Curtin ? The records of the Quartan Session of Allegheny show that three of his personal friends were indicted in that court for cheating tho soldier, in his clothing, his food and his arms.

Friends of the soldier, ox plain how you acted in unison with tho knaves who struck at the vitals of all military strength —food— clothing—and arms.
