Mz. Eprror :—In the Central Press of
the 25th ult., I noticed an article under the
heading ¢* Are Copperheads Traitors 2’ in
which article we find that the author has
resorted to some of the vilest falsehoods
ever uttered by man, Such a villainous
representation of any gathering of people,
has never been expressed by a man of com-
mon sense, an the article proves Lim to
be a servant of the devil, and he has at least
one faithful servant. The writer says «If
anything was wanting to fasten indellibly
upon Democrats,” the stain eof disloyalty,
their bearing at that meeting was sufficient
to close the evidence.” Now, sir, we charge
him, in plain English, for being a liar, in
saying that a treasonable word was uttered
by any of the speakers, although many of
the Administrations infernal traitorous acts
were condemned, yet not one word waa
Spoken contrary to the Constitution we in-
herited from our beloved forefathers, We
admit that the orations were in accordance
with the other demonstrations of the day,
for such Union and contitutional orations
and demonstrations were never made by
the Aboiition scoundrels, as were made by
the truly ioyal people on that day. He
blindly asks, ¢ what meant those white
flag demonstrations, ye orators, &c.” Now,
every person present on that occasion, ex-
cept a few that wero too drunk to know
themselves from a monkey, knows that no
White flags were there, and this is sufficient
evidence to us, that the « spirits” had so
charmed the writer that he saw something

tunately caused him to mistake it for a

Judge Porter in a recent public address,
in Liberty Hall, at Honzsdale, Wayne
county, thus spoke of George W. Wood-
word. " 3
“It seems peculiarly appropriate here in
his native county, that I should say some-
thing of the candidate for Governor. You
have known him best as a boy snd a man.
I have known him best as a lawyer and a
Judge. I'need say nothing of the purity of
his character, for his life has lain an open
book, as pure and spotless as when 1t re-
ceived its first records in your boyish
sports. [Lave often been struck with the
purity of Judge Woodward’s mind. Hay-
ing known him for more than a score of
years, off and on the bench, I can say, with
scrupulous accuracy, thatI have neyer
heard from him one word which would not
become the mouth of the most pure-minded
and cultivated person—so far 18 he elevated
above that coarse vulgarity which these un-
fortunate times have carried into the high-
est seats of power, Such a man is always
firm and self-reliant. One who can walk
out in the cpen light of heaven with the con-
sciousness Lhat he has intentionally done no
man wrong, m thought or act, in private or
public or private, is always a man of ccur-
age, and generally 8o.in exact proportion to
the rectitude of his conduct. I have some
thing to say ofhis intellectual qualifications.
I recollect very well that when a student
at college I went to hear him speak in the
Convention to amend the Constitution of the
State ; and there 1 saw that pale and deli-
cate stripllug, scarcely seven years at the
bar, without the advantage of collegiate train-
PITTSBURG RATERS vs. A.G. CUR
Before the re-nomination of Curtin there
was not a single paper published in the city
of Pittsburg which did not denounce him as
unfit to be re-elected and some of them even
went so far as to say that his re-election
would be impossible. The Gazette and Dis-
patch, the two leading “Republican” papers
in that city, published article after article,
showing up the mconsistency, incompetency
and DISHONESTY of the Governor.
. These articles we have been re-producing
in this paper for some weeks, and tho aboli-
tion organ in this place has not had one
word of denial or explanation in regard to
them. Henco, the people of this county
have the UNCONTRADICTED EVIDENCE
of the leading journals in Curtin's own par-
ty in Western Pennsylvania, to the offect
that he 18 CORRUPT, DISHONEST, IN.

How can a man, thus branded by his own
party, receive the vote of any honest man ?
A Live MaN.—Itis gravely announced in
cu abolition paper that Curlin “is a Zspe
man.” We are glad to hear ii. But a
short {ime since he was Iso ‘near death’s
door that ha gave up all idea of being a can-
didate for re-election, and nunounced his
withdrawal from the field in a special mes-
auge to the Legislature. When it suits his
pleasure to be “invalided” again, which we
think wiil be shortly after the elcction— we
shall be ready $0 record the fact. Indeed,
knowing tow habitually the abolition papers
falsify, we should feel almost safe in wii-

CURTIN AND THE TONNAGE TAX.
When Andrew G. Curtin canvassed this
State for Governor, in 1860, ha announced
from every stump that he was opposed to
the rkpeal of *“ 50 just a tax as that imposcd
upon the tonnage of the Pennsylyan& Ruil-
road.” Yet no sooner had he taken his seat
and sworn before High Heaven to protect

a Republican Senate and House of Repfe-
Sentatives, which deprived the State of a
just and equitable revenue to the amount of
three hundred thousand dollars a yer;
and actually released the company from
the payment of seven hundred thousand
dollars, aiready due the State. With ali

must, because he has not $300, be forced

at home, attending to his duties as Judge of

er remember that Goy. Curtin signed the
bill repealing the Tonnage Tax. By this
onedct an annual income of nearly a mil-
lion dollars was taken from the State, and
given to a mammoth corporation. Nor was
this ail; the accumulation: of years was
also bestowed to the same, while tho taxes
on the farmers, mechanics, and Lusiness
men were increased !
. OUR STATE TICKET.
The following merited tribute
to Woodward and Lowrie is the
closing ‘portion of a speech made
by the Hon. James Campbell of
Philadelphia, at Scranton, Pa.,
on the 17th inst. : ;
“The State ticket selected is
one worthy of the State and coun-
try. Tounquestioned ability the
candidates unite great inte_rity.
The head of the ticket, our can-
]didate for Govenor, I am proud
to claim as a. friend. You know
him as the patriot who prefered
a private station to the high
office of a Senator of the United
States, when it was to be had by
subscribing to the doctrine that
the term of naturalization should
‘be extented from five to twenty
one years; but of him, and hiv
unspotted character and great
abilities, 1t is unnecessary for me
to speak to you, hisneighbors and
friends, among whom he has spent
the greater portion.of his life.
Elect tim, and you will have o
Governor worthy of our great
State. No citizen of Peunsylva-
nia will then hear of his. proud
old Commonwealth beinginvade::
and disgraced; her. towns puf

fenceless people plundered, af .67

have any fear that he will then
be dragged from his home, from
the Capital itself, from the very
presence of the Governor, to by
immured in the fortresses of ads
Joinitig States. The soldier
when called into te field will ba
protected, and the profligate spuc-
ulator will not be permitted to
traffic on his health and life.
Pennsylvania will then becon.e
once more a great sovereign State,
and not a petty province,”
