¥
mn,
In the Hawmisburg Telegraph of a few
days ago, we read a long editorial, giving
an ac-ount, in the mest hifaalutin’ terms,
of a recent visit of Andrew G. Curtin to
the Army cf the Potomac, It is there sta-
ted that the soldiers of that army, and wore
especially those belonging to the Penney!- |
vania Reserve Corps, received Curtin with
.
sthusiasm, rending the heavens | ; ’ ‘ 1 k
the utmost enthusiasny, 3 i { ham intend holding a series of meetings in
swith their shouts ef welcome; clinging to
the wheels of his carriage and seizing held
of the reins of his horses’ bridles. In fact,
necording to the story of the well known
seribe of the Telegraph, these brave fullows
were perfectly witd, und hailed the arrival
of (he Governor—the man who sold them,
budy and breeches, out of their own State
into the service of Abraham Lincoln— with
enthusiasm akin to worship. They looked
upon him 28° their benefactor and savior,
and in the most beseeching and endearing
terms, prayed that they might be allowed to
go home and help to re-clect him governor
for the next three yeers.
The Governor, although «full of emotion”
and almost choked with ‘the intensity of
his feelings,” could not, of course, refrain
from waking these gallant fellows a bit of
a speech, which be did in his most affecting
sud spread-eagle style, increasing, if possi-
ble, to a greater degree, the iniense enthu-
siasm which the mere presence of his im
waculate person had awakened. The sol-
diers, of ‘course, were wonderfully affected,
and wept and cried and shouted and shriek-
ed and yelled and made a terrible fuss, ex-
pressing once more their earnest desire to be
allowed to vote for their friend, their bene-
factor, their father— Andrew G. Curtin!
Gen. Meade, too, it seems, figured prom-
inently at this grand ovation to Pennsyiva-
nia’ 8 greatest——nincompoop. It isstated
of this war depended upon lhe re election of
Andrew G. Curtin to the Governorship of
Pennsylvama, and that it was the duty of
all loyal men to support him for that posi:
tion. :
- Such is the story a3 told by the Tele-
1 raph. It 1s one, however, which the edi.
itor of that veracious sheet will have hard
work to make the people believe. even tho
they be as gullible as he seems to suppose.
In the name of heaven, what hes
Governor Curtin ever done for the soldiers
that they should thus humble themaelves in
the das! before him, and shout hosannas to
his name ¢ Were this story true fo the ex-
tent of the T'elegraph’s assertions, which we
know it is not, we should blush for the in-
telligence of the American soldier and for
the baseness of his manhood, Andrew (,

for the mere purpose of making capital for
a man whose resources have all failed him,
and who now stands, in all his naked de-
formity, before the judgment bar of thot
people whose majesty he has outraged and
whoso rights he has disregarded.
As for Gen. Meade, if he ever did mske
the speech to which we have alluded, it only
shows his utter ignorance of the true prin-
ciples at stake in the terrible struggle now
going belween the two sections of our
country, and also of the great fundamental
principles of liberty, truth and justice
which are about to he tested at the ballot-
box, and which will decide whether he and

rights under the Constitution, Gen. Meade

Behold the “Beauties.”
Well, the deed is done, our advertisement
two weeks since brought forth, the “beau-
ties,” Oa Wednesday afteraoon the galyent
followers of Abe and Andy met in this place
and tendered to the following persons, the
nominations for the different ofiices : Assem-
Lly, Harry Foster, Sheriff James Dunlap,
Treasurer Geo. 11. Weaver, Prothonotary
Jno. I. Johnston, Register and Recorder
Samuel Haupt, Commissioner John McCal-
mont, Auditor James Glenn, Coroner Jack-
son Levi. Whether the offices will be ac-
cepted by all of them or nor, we cannot say,
willing to run, is, that they will be the most
beautifully beaten parcel of palfiies, that
ever got on to a political race course,
"With the private charaeiers of the men

pelled. It is the principles which they

left to ‘hoe their row’ as open and avowed

there will be a beautiful batch of *taly ented

Woodward and Nativism.
The Abolitionists are tiying hard to fas-
ten upon the character of Judge Woodward,
the stain of hostility to he naturalization of
foreign. born citizens. This game they
tried in 1802, when Judge Woodward was
a candidate for supreme Judge, and every
Irishman and German in the country will
recollect with what malignity they proclaim®
ed the base lie,and how signally they failed
Judge Woodward was elected Judge of the
Supreme Court, for the term of fifteen
years by a majority of wnincteen thousand
votes, and he will this fall be elected Gov-
ernor of Pennsylvania, by a majority three
times as large,
Let not our Inish or German adopted citi-
zens be deceived by this senseless. cy of
“Nativism.”” We trast they will read for
themselves, and not allow their judgments
to te warped or biassed by anything these
maligners of a pure and upright man may
say. For ten long years Geo. W. Wood-
ward presided over the courts of this coun
ty and district, and almost every body can
recollect his winning manners and noble
person, As he walked the streets of -this
town, kind, pleasant and affable, people in
their hearts said: “Ged b him.” And
with those blessings clu round his
noble head like a wreath of glory, he went
out from amongst us, to fill the high sta-
tion to which, in the providence of God. he
had been chosan by the people. While
bere, he was approachable by every bedy,
aud the hamblest Irish or German citizen
might take him by the hand in. friendship,
knowing and trusting Lim as the upright,
fearless Judge, whem no favor could influ-
ence, whom no price could buy,
Will our foreign-born citizens forget all
these things Will they forget that they
voted for Judge Woodward in 1852 and have
been proud of it ever since ? We hope not we
know they will not ?
On our outside today we publish a letter
from Judge Woodward, in which he ex-
plains and explodes this whole senseless
charge of “nativism.”’ Let our Irish and
German citizens read it carefully, with the
sole desire to ascertain the trath, and we
feel that they will pray in their hearts, as
did the people of this town ten years ago.
“God bless him.”

Curtin and Know-nothingism.
While the Abolitionists are doing’ their
utmost to make Irishmen and Germans be-
lieve that Judge Woodward is opposed to
the naturalization of foreigners, they forget
to remind these respective classes of our citi-
zens that Andrew G. Curtin, whose father
was a full blooded Catholic Irishman, isa
renegade to the principles of his sire—that
he belonged to the Know-nothing party, and
did all in us power to prevent foreigners
and especially Catholics {rom exercising he
right of suffrage. 'i'his fact is patent to
every body and requires no proof at our
bands, If it did, we could produce it in
abundance. On the contrary, it is =o strict-
dare sot “Qeny it, “Curtin himself is a rene-
gade Irishman, a traitor to the principles
and the religion of his (ather, and sold his

Now. admitting for a moment, for the
8 keof the argument, that Judge Woodward
was once opposed tithe naturalization of for-
eigners, how much better is Andrew Q.
Curtin as a candidate for them? Judge
Woodward bas, as least, the benefit of ajdoubt
in his favor. Curtin was a rampant Know-
nothing out’and out, and’can lay no shadow
of claim to an Irish or German vote.—
Onr German friends will bear in mind too,
that during the last Gubernatorial cam-
