TIIE TIIUE ISSUE.
Hon. George Sharswood and Hon. 11. W.
Williams stand as opposing candidates on
the tickets of the respective parties in the
coming political contest. The contest is not
between them as individuals, but as the
representatives of fixed and well defined
principles. Williams is a sound lawyer and
an acceptable Judge; Sharswood is the
same, and in these respects many persons
might be disposed to say that it is of small
consequence which is elected. Not so,
however, the principles which they repre
sent are directly antagonistic, diametrically
opposed. Judge Sharswood represents the
principles of the party that precipitated the
country into the bloodiest civil war ever re
corded in the pages of ancient or modern
history; and although overwhelmed and de
feated, its adherents are now assiduously
striving to obtain by legislative enactments
and judicial decisions the triumph which
they sought in vain on the bloody field of
battle. The election of Judge Sharswood
would be regarded by the men who sought
our national destruction as a step toward
reversing the verdict of the people rendered
at the point of a million bayonets, and at
the cost of hundreds of thousands of most
valuable lives, and thousands of millions of
hard earned treasure. It would once more
check the work of reconstruction in the
lately rebellious States, and in every part of
the country inspire the enemies of the
Uuion and true republican liberty with fresh
hopes of a final triumph. In short the
election of Judge Sharswood to thcSupreme
bench, at the present time, would be scarce
ly less than a national calamity. His whole
life and all his public acts and professions
have been thoroughly identified with the
party of slavery, nullification, State rights,
secession and rebellion, and to-day he is its
candidate, and as such the representative
and exponent of its political faith.
On the other hand Judge Williams is the
representative of progressive Republican
ism, and the exponent of its principles. He
is the standard-bearer of the party whose
whole history has been a continual strug
gle for tho upholding and carrying out of
the great principles laid down in the Decla
ration of Independence, the right of all
men, to life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness. With this as its guiding star it has
never swerved from the faith for which our
revolutionary fathers fought and bled, and
to-day after having preserved the nation
from the parricidal hands of its own rebel
lious people, still stands forth as the cham
pion of the largest liberty consistent with
the safety and unity of a free and intelli
gent people. It is on such a broad and
comprehensive platform, that Judge il
liams stands as the candidate of the Repub
lican party, and the representative of the
only true principles on which to found and
preserve free institutions. The issue then
as wc have already said is not between the
two men -as individuals, but as the repre
sentatives and exponents of great princi
ples. On the one hand stands Sharswood,
the representative of a party and principles
that for half a century has vainly striven to
check the wheels of progress, turn hack the
tide of human civilization, and convert a
continent dedicated to freedom, by the
blood of our revolutionary martyrs, into a
slave mart for the buying and selling of hu
man beings, and which in its last desperate
effort has deluged our fair heritage with the
blood of our fathers, husbands, sons and
brothers, and darkened the pages of our
country's history, with the records of An
dersonville, Belle Isle and Libby prisons.
On the other hand is Judge Williams, tho
candidate and representative of a party and
principles, that aim to elevale the human
race to the highest attainable intelligence
and liberty—to dedicate our whole country
to untrammelled freedom —to give homes
to the poor, security to the rich, and hap
piness to all—to raise the iallcn, educate
the ignorant, and CDable all to use to the
best advantage, for their own personal wel
fare, all the powers of mind and body with
which an all-wise Providence has endowed
them—to secure to every man, woman and
child in the nation, life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, as far as not inconsis
tent with the rights of their fellow men. In
such a contest none need be mistaken. The
issue is clear and unmistakable, and none
but the wilfully blind can err. The men
who fought and hied for a united country,
they who gave up their best beloved that
our liberties might be preserved, none who
stood by the country in the hour of her
greatest peril, will now be found betraying
her into the hands of her enemies.
IN THE Surratt trial, the evidence closed
on Saturday last, and the argument for the
prosecution was begun.

diers who fell in the war for the Union.
Mac. is getting liberal!
jetr Lt is very amusing to see the effort
being made, by our cotemporaries of the
Copperhead persuasion, to explain away
Judge ShnrsWood's opinion on the Consti
tutionality of the Government currency. It
is evident that very few of these apologists
have read the document. We will publish
it in a week or two.
COKRESPOIKDEJtCE.
FROM WEST VIRGINIA.
MOINDSVILLE, July 2d, 1867.
Editors fUdford Inquirer: Thinking some
of my friends in Old Bedford would like to
know where I am, I propose to furnish
them the information through the columns
of that good and loyal old sheet — THE IN
QUIRER. I will first try to describe the
pleasuut little town of "Moundsville" the
County seat of Marshall Co. West Va. my
present place of residence. There are two
parts or precincts, as the citizens call thorn
here, one is called Upper town, and the
other Lower or old town. Upper town is
the neatest and prettiest part of the place,
from the fact there are no works of any kind
going on, and it is so far from the Rail Road
that it is free froiu all the black smoke and
soot that generally comes from steam en
gines. It is on a very nice rise of ground,
with a beautiful view of the broad Ohio
river. The citizens have a fair view of
all the boats passing up and down the river,
also have a nice view of the West Virginia
Penitentiary that is going up at this place.
It is being built of cut stone, the building
alone covers three acres of ground, and the
entire enclosure is ten acres with a wall
twenty feet high. What they have now to
keep the Prisoners in, is something similar
to the "Andersonville Prison" or stockade,
twenty feet high, with a sentry box in each
corner. Within two hundred yards of the
Prison is a Mound, one of the largest in the
Mississippi Valley. It is seventy feet in
perpendicular height, with a circumference
at the base of eight hundred and twenty
feet. The form of it : s what wc call a trun
cated cone, with a summit diameter of sixty
three feet. It is one of the most interesting
things I have ever seen. There is a room
in it called "The Tabletßoom or Chamber"
where there was a skeleton of a human be
ing found seven feet in height, also wristlets,
made of copper, beads, shells, and a great
many ornaments of different kinds. In the
"Tablet Chamber" was found around stone
or some kind of metal with curious marks
on it, which as yet no one has been able to
decipher. In the centre of the Mound is a
hole, about ten feet in diameter, dug down
on a level with the base anAll walled up
with brick, and which you can see from the
top, of one of the rooms ; I heard some one
say there were some two or three more
rooms. This one room was at one time (not
many years ago) used as an Ice Cream Sa
loon, with a Round House on the top.
There are several of these Mounds in this
eonnt v hot none as laree this one There
are very large trees growing on the sides of
it, some of them, I would suppose to be
three feet thick and arc in circles around
the Mound. 1 have inquired if there is a
history of this wendcrful place, but it ap
pears no one knows any thing about it, ex
cept what the gentleman knows that owns
it. It was owned by a company some years
ago, but is owned at present by Colonel
Loekwood, formerly of the 12th Regiment
of West Virginia Infantry.
The part of town preside in, is Old town,
where wc have a Kegg Factory, two Steam
Flouring Mills, Wharf, Post Office, a
Boot and Shoe Store, two Dry good Stores,
and a very nice Drug Store kept by a good
old friend, Dr. J. Reichter, formerly of
Bedford where he practiced Medicine for
sixteen years. There is a great amount of
business doDC in this part of towm double
the amount there is in Upper town. The
Baltimore and Ohio R. R. passes through
this part and we have four daily trains with
an accommodation train to Wheeling at 7
o'clock every morning, (Sundays excepted.)
As it is getting late I must stop writing
for the present, and will try and gather an
other for some of my young friends on the
system of Free Schools in this State.

JAS. A. GILCHRIEST.
ADDRESS OF THE UNION KEPUII
- STATE CENTRAL COM
MITTEE.
COMMITTEE ROOMS, 1
IIARRISBCRO, July, 26, 1807. j
TO THE PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA.
Fellow Citizens: —The official term of
Geo. W. Woodward, Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the State, is about to ex
pire; and under the Constitution his succes
sor will be elected on the second Tuesday of
October next. This election is every way
important, and the more so, because of the
great principles and issues involved, and of
the fact that the term is for fifteen years,
All the powers of our governments, both
National and State, are divided into three
classes: the Legislative, Executive, and Ju
dicial. The people are the source of all
power, and our Constitutions provide the
manner in which all offices shall be filled,
and the terms for which they shall be held.
The National judiciary being for life, and
that of the State Judiciary fifteen years,
changes in these tribunals are wrought more
slowly than in the other branches of the
Government; and hence sbould_ be made
with the greater caution and wisdom; for
nothing is of greater public importance than
a wise and patriotic judiciary. Our past
history shows a constant tendency in these
several departments to enlarge their respec
tive jurisdictions, and occasionally to en
croach on each other; and especially is this
true of the judiciary. It is but recently the
Supreme Court of the United States, in the
interests of slavery, gravely undertook to
overturn the foundations of the Government
on that question, and to nullify and de
stroy acts of Congress enacted by the men
who made the Constitution. The l)red
Scott decision virtually legalized and exten
ded slavery over all the Territories of the
Union, in defiance of Congress and the peo
ple; and laid down principles, which, but
for subsequent events, would have extended
•slavery and made it lawful in all the States.
And after the recent civil war was inaugura
ted, our State judicary, by a denial of the
constitutional powers of Congress and of our
State legislature, in measures absolutely
necessary to carry oti the war and save the
nation, so, imperiled our cause as to make
itelligcnt patriots everywhere tremble lor
the issue of the contest. True, these false
theories did not prevail. But it is equally
true the continued as.-ertion of them paraly
zed the arms of both the National and State
Governments, distracted and disheartened
our people, gave aid and comfort to the
enemy, prolonged the war, and added im
measurably to our sacrifices of blood and
treasure. Hence it is, "That warned by
past misfortunes, we ask that the Supreme
Court of the State be placed in harmony
with the political opinions of the majority of
the people, ID ttitf fdlti llial the Uourt may
hover again, by unjust derisions, seek to set
aside laws vital to the nation."
Who, then, are HENRY W. WILLIAMS
and GEO BOX SHARSWOOD, the candidates
for this vacant seat upon the Supreme bench?
What are their past records, and where do
they stand, in these eventful times, and on
these momentous issues? The weal or• woe
of the Commonwealth, atul perhaps ol the
nation, is involved in these questions; and
it behooves every patriotic voter in the State
to examine them with cAW.
Of Judge Williams, the Union Republican
candidate, we here propose to give no exten
ded biography. He is a high toned thus
tian gentleman, about forty six yenrs of age,
a ripe scholar, a learned and eminent lawyer,
with fifteen years, judicial experience, on
the bench of the District Court of Allegheny
county, lie was first elected judge in 18;' I,
when he ran over one thousand votes ahead
of his ticket, and was re-elected in 1861, bv
the unanimous vote of all parties. The fol
lowing extract from an editorial in the Pitts
burg Post (the principal Democratic paper
of the West), shows the estimation in which
he is held by political adversaries:
"The nomination of the Hon. Henry W.
Williams as a candidate foj Judge oft ho
Supreme Court is a good one. He mas tin
best man tuimcd before the Republican t
vention, and possesses legal and moialquali
fications for the responsible position to which
he has been nominated."
He is of the Webster and Clay school of
politics, and during the recent civil war,
from the beginning to the end, did every
thing in his power, through his means, his
voice, and his votes, to strengthen the hand*
and encourage the hearts of the loyal people
in the struggle to maintain the Union.
Who, and what Judge Sharswood is, as a
public man, will appear from what follows;
Early in the history of this nation politi
cal sentiment became divided on the powers
of the National aud State governments, and
thejr true relations to each other. On these
divisions two great parties were subsequently
founded. The one. known as the State
Rights party, had John C. Calhoun for its
champion; and the other, for its tecognized
leader, had the great expounder of the Con
stitution, Daniel Webster. The former
held free trade, and the right of nullification
and secession, as cardinal doctrines, denying
the constitutional power of Congress to im
pose duties for protection, and claiming nul
lification and secession as inherent rights of
a State. The latter denied these assump
tions, and between these conflicting princi
pies and parties there has been p- i|n.'ual
warfare. In the main, the old Whig party
ranged itself under the bannerol' Webster,
and the Democratic party under that of Cal
houn. One of the legitimate fruit- ol the
States rights doctrine was the rebellion of
1833, in South Carolina; the avowed object
of which was to nullify the protective tariff
law of Congress, enacted in 1828. The
country at that time was saved from a di
astrous civil war by the firmness of Uresi
dent Jackson, the wisdom of Congress, and
the patriotism of General Scott. That ef
fort at rebellion and civil war failed; and the
principle on which it was based was repudi
atcd. But in 1860 and 1861 South Carolina,
and other rebel States, again endeavored to
put in force their States rights doctrine ol
secession. The sympathy, imbecility, and
connivance of President Buchanan, and his
advisers, so contributed to the success of the
effort, that its consummation could only be
prevented by a long, desperate, and bloody
civil war. In the end, and after fearful sac
rifices of life and treasure, the rights aud
power of the National Government were
again vindicated; and the Calhoun doctrine
of secession was again overthrown. Such
at lea.-t has been the popular conviction, aud
cause for rejoicing; and even the worst of
Southern rebels have been compelled io eon
f__, —.J i;., ■
weeping over their "lost cause. " Strange,
sad, and incredible as it may seem, we are
already called upon to fight these cr'-at i
sues over again! The Democratic party, with
Judge Sharswood for its leader, and with
Free Trade, State Rights and See. --ion
upon its banner, is again marshaling its hosts
and now summoning us to the field of politi
cal combat, on these same issues! That
party, at their National Conventions iu 18">6
and 1860, readopted what are known as the
Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of 1708
and 1799, as partof their platforms. These
resolutions are known a- the embodiment of
the old State rights and Calhoun doctrines.
Tlit-y do not regard the relations of the
States or people thereof to the United
States is constituting a government , in the
ordinary ami proper sense of the term, but
declare them to b merely a compact, aud
that "as in all other cases of compart among
parties having no common judge, inch parti/
has an equal right to judge for its/If, AS
WELI.OF INFRACTIONS, AS OF THE MnDKANIt
MEASURE OF REDRESS."
Under this free Democratic charter for
rebellion, the lawful election of Abraham
Lincoln as IV-ident of the United Stales
was claimed by tin- people of the rebel States
as an "infraction" of the "compact;" and
they chose secession and civil war as the
"mode" and the destruction of the Union
cad State independence as "the measuns of
redress." The Democratic party at it- ia-t
National Convention proclaimed the war a
failure; and it has now put in the field a life
long Fice Trade and State Rights candidate,
whom Judge Black endorses a- one who
"will stand by the Constitution and cue
pure law"—viz; who will stand by the Con-
Btitution as the State Rights party con-true
it, and give as such "pure law" a- Judge
Black has given President BUCHANAN and
ANDREW JOHNSON.
Judge SHARE WOOD and his party friends
have not only denied the lawful power of"
the National Government to coerce a rebel
lious State, to make and enforce a draft, to
make paper money a legal tender, to emanci
pate and arm negroes, to punish rebels and
traitors by disfranchisement, to suspend tiie
writ of habetu Corpus in time of rebellion,
or to arrest and try offenders in time of war
by court martial: but they bold that all the>o
things, though actually done, were illegally
aDd wrongfully done, and therefore sett\rd
nothing! Or, as the Democratic organ (the
Philadelphia Age), in a recent elaborate edi
torial on the Republican State platform,
thus expresses the same idea: "We i>uc,it
to the sober thoughts of the pcopl- of i* no
sylvania, whether they would not have all
these grave pctidingquestions decided accor
ding to law, and not according to war, JCST,
IN FACT, AS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN DECI
DED HAD THEY ARISEN EIGHT YEARS AGO,
OR HAD NO WAR TAKEN PLACE."
Is, then, the "lost cause" not lost? Has
the late dreadful war decided nothing? Is
the right of secession an open question?
lias slavery not been abolished? Are not
the four millions of bondsmen free? Has
our national debt no legaljexi-tence? Have
the victors no power ovet the vanquished?
Have the rebel Slates and people lost no
rights by rebellion? Have our sacrifices of
blood and treasure been all made in vain?
Fellow citizens, weigh well these .-"leinn
questions, and answer them at the ballot
box on the second Tuesday of October next.
Having concluded to reserve for a future
occasion some remarks on party organization
and other topics, this address might here
properly close. But it may be asked by
some, is Judge Sharswood, indeed, the no
litical heretic herein set forth? "A man is
known by the company he keeps," says the
old adage. We have the right to assume,
and have assumed, that the Judge is of the
same political faith as his party, and the
public will hold him responsible for all the
guilty acts and omissions of his party.
There can be no mistaking the true position
of the man who recently delivered an elabo
rate opinion denying the constitutional
nower of Uongress to make paper money a
legal tender. {See the case of Boric es
Trott, Legal Intelligencer of March ISth.
back, and examiic Ida early history, we find
ample justificatbn for all we have written,
and more. So ong ago as April, 1834, ho
appeared as "Tie Orator of the Day." at a
meeting of a Stitcs, Bights Association, in
Philadelphia. We here copy some of the
proceedings of hat interesting convocation
from " The Bxaitner and Journal of Politi
cal Economy, 'footed to the Advancement
of the Cause of Stair, Rights and Free
Trade," Vol. \\page 309,
The orator or that occasion delivered a
long and carefully prepared vindication and
eulogy of the hate liights Virginia and
Kentucky resolutions, herein before cited;
and summed up bis elaborate endorsements
thereof as follow;.
" ID conn; bath to our starting place, and
finding nothing n thi Constitution establish
"ll/ anyfinaljndfe of the en ume rated powers,
prohibitions, ant' reserved rights, it must rest
upon the admittd principles of genaral law,

no common superior. EACH STATE HAS THE
RIGHT TO JT RXE FOR ITSELF OF THE IN
FRACTIONS OFT® COMPACT, AN I)TO CHOOSE
FOR ITSELF THEMOST PROPER ANI) EFFI
CIENT REMEDIES."
The better toexhibit still further if pos
sible, the true character of that meeting
and its di-tineiished orator, the"',following
toasts are copiii from the proceeding ( Same
vol, p. 211'):
TOAST: "JHIN 0. CALHOUN— The first

TOAST: "The Patriots, otherwise called

The Hob. Jojn C. Calhoun was among
those invited t> this meeting by Judge
Sharswood and others; but declined in a
published lettersympathy.
We thus subnlt,-asbriefly as possible, the
record of the Democratic candidate, and
of the party wbitb placed him in nomination.
We fed that n added comments could do
ju- tice to the subject; and only ask you, fel

WASHINGTON, July 2'J, 1867.
It appears that the official copyof the sup
plemental Reconstruction act was issued a
tew days si nee from the State Department
so full of errors that it has been found nec
essary to i-siie a new copy, which has been
carefully compared with the enrolled bill.
The erroneous copy has led to the impr sion
in some I'iaiier.s that the supplemental act
deprives •'< President of all power of remo
val o! Di-tri vt commanders, and places it in
the hands of Gen. Grant. The correct copy
shows that this is not true. The President
that power, and the rumor is still
reiterated that he will apply it to General
Sheridan, and supersede that officer bv ap
pointing either Gen. Thoiuas or Gen. Ifan

The Government has advices that its spe

however, has never been issued, together
with the dispatches ofthc State Department
Some of these dispatches telated to steps to

Persons of sedentary habits troubled with weak
ness, lassitude, palpitation of the heart, link of
apfetite, distress after eating, torpid liver, eon
stipution, Ac., deserve to suffer if they will not
try the celebrated PLANTATION BITTERS,
which are now recommended by the highest mod
ical authorities, and warranted to produce an >'<-
mcdintc beneficial effect. They are exceedingly
agreeable, perfectly pure, and must supersede ail
other tonics where a healthy, gentle stimulcnt is
required.
They parify, strengthen and invigorate.
They create a healthy, appetite.
They arc an antidote to change of water and diet.
They strengthen the system and enliven the
mind.
They prevent miasmatic and Intermittent fevers.
They purify the breath and acidity of the
stomach.
They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation.
They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Head
ache.
They make the weak strong, the languid bril
liant, and arc exhausted nature's grea. restori r.
They arc composed of the celebrated Calisaya
bark, wintergreen, sassafras, roots and herbs, ali
preserved in perfectly pure St. Croix rum. For
particulars, sec circulars and testimonials around
each bottle.

Plantation Hitters or not, is a criminal under he

The simple trial of a bottle is the evidence we
present of their worth and superiority. They are
