Re-Nomination of Governor Curtin;
[Ft k r
An t 1 Pliiht Nm ill Arne, Ican.]
The Union State Convention, which
met at Pittsburgh last Wednesday, re
nominated as the Union candidate for
Governor of Pennsylvania, the Hon.
Andrew G. Curtin, our present wor
thy, able and popular chief magistrate.
If ever a re-nomination was well de
served, we are sure that this one was,
and we feel proud of the manly cour
age of the Convention in disregarding
the opposition raised to his candidacy,
and determining that the choice of the
majority should rule. We are glad
that the Conventicin paid no heed to
the counsels of the timid, who, affright
ed at the manufactured clamor against
Governor Curtin, thought, perhaps, it
might be better to take some negative
person, with no other recommendation
than the fact of having no enemies.—
Of all the things which have, disgraced
our party conventions, nominations of
mere negative men, to get rid of the
positive, and decided public men, well
known for their ability, have been
most disgraco 4 'ul.
Had there ever existed any nbcessi
ty for throwing aside the veteran chief
under whose lead the Union party of
Penna. had marched triumphantly to
battle and to victory, Ave should have
regretted in the extreme that it silo'
be bowed to, at a time when we need
our best men in the places of highest
trust. But there never did exist any
such necessity, and those who attemp
ted to insinuate such a thing should
learn a lesson from this nomination.—
Andrew G. Curtin, so far from being
unpopular or objectionable, is the most
reliable and available man who could
have been chosen as our candidate.—
Without being so, he never could have
obtained such a vote as he did on the
first ballot in that Convention, in the
fh'ee of a clamor in party newspapers
of high standing and influence, and in
the Convention itself by well-known
politicians., That he did, then, receive
on the first ballot so large a vote as
95, shows the enthusiasm of his friends,
their overwhelming numbers, and their
determination not to be ruled out of
their choice by a minority.
It is proper the people should know
that very much of the hostility to Go
vernor Curtin from Allegheny county,
has its origin in the fact of his being
friendly to the Pennsylvania itailroad.
To permit him.to be sacrificed for such
a cause would have been an insult to
Philadelphia, as well as to the com
monwealth, whose interest that great I
corporation has so well served. Gov-
ernor Curtin has done no more for the
Pennsylvania Railroad than for any
other corporation organized for the
improvement of the State, and the mis
guided men at Pittsburgh who seek to
domineer on all occasions, and to force
their views upon the State by means
of a sort of terrorism, have been pro
perly met and voted clown.
Governor Curtin is a tried man, mid
the people know him to be a true ono.
During a period of most unexampled
peril he has administered the affairs of
the State Government with a degree
of care and prudence rarely equalled.
lie has looked faithfully after the ip•
terests of the commonwealth under ail
circumstances, iiartrin - fightly to the
strict letter of the law, and performed
his duties conscientiously. Most es
pepially has he lcokcd after the sol
diers of Pennsylvania, everywhere, in
field or hospital. They could not pos
sibly have bad a better advocate than
he has been everywhere and on all oc
casions. Their claims and those of
their State have been urgently pressed
upon the National Government, in sea
son and out of season, and all that a
man in his position could do ho lies
done for them. In this particular his
course has been a subject of univer
sal praise, and if the sentiment of Phil
adelphia be any criterion, he will be
re-elected by an immense majority.
There need be no fear on this ques
tion. No new man who could have
been nominated in his stead would
have obtained here, and in other Un
ion strongholds, such a firm place in
the popular esteem as Governor Cur
tin has done. He is eminently the
choice of the masses of the people, who
look up to him as their own chosen
leader and friend. He is no dema
gogue. Had he been, the people would
have esteemed hint less. But he is a
statesman of cultivated mind, acute
intellect, and skilled in the science of
government. As a public speaker he
has very few equals in Pennsylvania,
and the prominent merit of his address
es is their elevation of thought.
R. It ought to be a rule with the Amer
ican people to retain a faithful public
servant in whatever position he has
proved himself useful in, especially at
such times as the present, when relia
ble administrative officers are of the
greatest possible value, and should not
be lightly parted with. Pennsylvania
has reason to be proud of Governor
Curtin. nig administration has been
guided by prudence, patriotism and
good sense. He has been the conser
vator of our best interests; the friend
of the poor soldier; the advocate of
the- State claims, and in a period of
great peril the success of all his mea
sures has been truly remarkable.
SUBSTITUTES IN IlleamoNn.—A Rich
mond paper of the 7th says:
"Substitutes begin to command a
large price. This morning a man in
Richmond offered $5,000, and another
offers $4,500 for a man to take his
place in an artillery company.
"This substitute system ought to he
done away with, as it has already done
much mischief in our, army. AL the

VOL 'SIX,
A. Catholic Journal on the Riots.
The Catholic Tablet, published in N.
York, in its last issue, severely con
demns the late riots in that city. We
quote the follow
'Neither the life nor the property
of any loyal citizen was safe, and it
required only some ruffian in the
crowd to raise the cry of "Black Re
publican" (meaning loyal to the coun
try and its lawful authorities) against
any well dressed individual to have
himself beaten to death with the most
revolting cruely, and his dwelling, if
known, sacked and burned to the
ground. The ostensible cause of all
this was "the draft," which commenc
ed the Saturday previous, (11th
hut what had the drafting to do with
the universal crusade against the un
fortunate children of Ham every
where throughout the city—even in
the `wards comparatively quiet—hunt
ed like wild beasts, and not Merely
put to death, but in some instances
hung and burned !
It was truly a pitiable sight in a
city calling itself free, to see these un
happy fugitives—men, women and
children—hunted down all over the
city, and that—there is no denying iL,
by Irishmen, to some extent. The
people who, perhaps, of all oth
ers in Europe, have suffered most from
persecution and oppression, figured
here on a free soil, where all men are
supposed to have equal rights, as the
foremost persecutors, the murderers,
the tormentors, of a poor helpless, des
pised race ! shame! shame upon such
Irishmen—they are a disgrace to the
country from which they came, in an
evil hour assuredly, for had they re
mained at home they would in all pro
bability, have been different men, liv
ing in a different atmosphere. We
know, of course, that the Irish did but a
part of the rioting, but they will find
that the chief odium will be thrown on
them, as it always is, when any possi
bility exists of doing so.
"In what position do the working
men of New York stand to-day before
the whole civilized world ? On a par
precisely with the sans culottes of the
French revolution. There is no use
trying to soften it down, such is the
dreary aspect of the case and although
we know that thousands of our work
ingmen did not join the rioters, or the
robbers who followed in their wake,
still the stern record of history will
make no distinctions, and the great
riots of July, 156'J, will - Um - a bloody
page in the history of New York, till
the end of time evermore.—Yes, our
children and their children will shud
der as they read that dismal tale, and
their cheeks will burn with honest
shame for the brand of disgrace then
- stamped on the brow of our noble Is
land City., Oh, shame ! shame ! for
New York, shame for the misguided
men, whether Irish, Germans or Ame
ricans, who lent themselves and inci•
ted others to the commission of such
atrocious outrages! and woe! unut
terable woe for the blood that has
been shed among the rioters them
selves and among our heroic police
and gallant soldiers, who fell in the
discharge of their duty to the citizens
of New York. _
Outrages on Southern "Quakers,"
The leading particulars of one of the
most remarkable events in this war
have just been communicated to me.
You know that many of the Society of
Friends have long resided in North Ca
rolina, and that a fundamental article
of their faith is a refusal to take up
arms under any circumstances what
ever. In the early stages of the rebel
lion the rebel powers of North Caroli
na, well knowing their peaceful prin
ciples, permitted them to pass unmo
lested, though known to be uncondi
tional Union men. But as time went
on disaster to the rebellion succeeded
to disaster, men were captured, killed
or disabled to so fearful an extent
that every ono out of the army must
be brought into it.
Early this year the conscription fell
upon the Friends. In one neighbor
hood some twelve of them were draft
ed. In accordance with their well
known principles they refused to join
the army. But everywhere the reign
of terror prevailed, and they were for
ced into the ranks. Here muskets
were given to them, but every man of
them refused even to touch the wea-
Tons. Every conceivable insult and
outrage was heaped upon them; they
were tied up, starved, and whipped.
Still they remained firm to their con
scientious convictions, and refused to
fight. Finally the muskets were strap
ped to their bodieS.
One of these Friends was singled out
as especially obnoxious, and was whip
ped unmercifully. The officer in charge
was lawless and brutal, and on one oc
casion ordered him to be shot, as an
example to others. He called out a
file of men to shoot him. While his
executioners were drawn up before
him, standing within twelve feet of
their victim, the latter raising his eyes
to heaven, and elevating his hands
cried out in 'a loud voice : "Father
forgive them, they know not what
they do." Instantly came the order
to fire. But instead of obeying it, the
men dropped their muskets and refu
sed, declaring that they could not kill
such a man.
This refusal so enraged the officer
that lie knocked his victim down in
the road, and then strove repeatedly
to trample him to death under his
horse's feet. But the animal persist
ently refused even to step over his
prostrate body. In the end, they were
marched with the rebel army to Get
tysburg. In that battle, they remain
ed entirely passive, fired no shot, and
in God alone trusted for preservation.
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, AUGtiST 10, 1868.
Very early in the action, the officer
referred to was killed. The Friends,
all unhurt, were taken prisoners and
sent to Fort Delaware. Here by ac
cident, it became khown, in this city
that several Friends were among the
captured, and two members of the so
ciety went down to inquire into the
circumstances, but they were refused
permission to see them. They went
immediately to Washington, and there
obtained an order for their discharge,
conditioned on their taking an affirma
tion of their allegiance. This opened
the7prison door. The affirmation made,
these martyrs for conscience sake
were released, and are now here. It
is probable that a more minute and ac
curate narrative of this case will be
prepared by some of the Society
[Philad. cor. N. Y. Tribune.

The Draft of New Yoik,
President Lincoln's Reply to Governor
Seymour.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, )
WASIIINCTON, Aug. 7, 1863. f
//is Exce/Towy I.IOIIATIO SEYMOUR, Go
rernor of • New York:
Your communication of the 2d hi
start has been received, and attentive
ly considered.
I cannot consent to suspend the
draft in New York, as you request, be
cause, among other things, time is too
important.
By the figures .yon send, which I
presume are correct, the twelve dis
tricts represented fall into two classes,
of eight and four respectively. The
disparity of the quotas for the draft in
these two classes is certainly very
striking, being the difference between
an average of 2200 in one class, and
4861 in the othe , -. Assuming that the
districts are equal one to another in
entire population, as required by the
plan on which they were made, this
disparity is such as to require atten
tion.
Much of it, however. I suppose will
be accounted for by the fact that so
many more persons fit for soldiers are
in the city than are in the country,
who have two recently arrived from
other parts of the United States, and
from Europe, to be included in the cen
sus of 1360, or to have voted in 1362.
Still, making due allowance for this,
am yet unwilling' to stand upon it as
an entirely sufficient explanation of
the great disparity.
shalLdirect. the-tirtift to_procced in
all the districts, drawing, however, at
first, from each of the four districts, to
wit: the Second, Fourth, Sixth, and
Eighth, only 2200, being the average
quota of the other class.
After this drawing, these four dis
tricts, and also the Seventeenth and
Twenty-ninth, shall be carefully re-en
rolled, and, if you please, agents of
yours may witness every step of the
process. Any deficiency that may ap
pear by the new enrollment will be
supplied by a special draft for that ob
ject, allowing due credit for volunteers
who may be obtained from these dis
tricts, respectively, during the inter
val. And at all points, so far as con
sistent with practical convenience,
due credit will be given for volunteers,
1,1,1:1yOr excellency shall be ne"ed
of the time fixed for commencing the
draft in each district.
I do not object to abide a decision of
the United States Supreme Court, or
of the judges thereof, on the constitu
tionality of the draft law. In fact, I
shall be willing to facilitate the obtain
ing of it; but I cannot consent to loose
the time while it is being obtained.—
We are contending with an enemy,
who, as I understand, drives every
able-bodied man he can reach into the
ranks, very much as a butcher drives
bullocks into a slaughter pen. No
time is wasted, no argument used.
This produces an army which will
soon turn upon our now victorious
soldiers, already in the field, if they
shall not be sustained by recruits as
they should be. It produces an army
with a repidity not to be matched on
our side, if we first waste time to re
experiment with the volunteer system,
already deemed by Congress, and pal
pably in fact, so far exhausted as to
be inadequate; and then more time to
obtain a court decision as to whether
a law is constitutional which requires
a part of those not now in the service
to go to the aid of those already in it;
and still more time to determine
with absolute certainty that we get
those who are to go in the precisely
legal proportion to those who arc not
to go.
My purpose, is to be, in action, just
and Constitutional, and yet practical,
in performing the important duty with
which I am charged, of maintaining
the Unity and the free principles of
our common country.
Your obedient servant,
A. LINCOLN.
Keep it Before the People.
That George W. Woodward, the
bogus Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, conceived and
advonated a measure for the entire and
unconditional disfranchisement of the
adopted citizens of Pennsylvania.
That the aforesaid George W. Wood
ward, also sustained the decision of
the Democratic majority of the Judges
of the Supremo Court of Pennsylvania,
(of whom he is one) to. the effect, that
the soldiers of the •State who are ab
sent fighting the battles of the Nation
al Government, forfeit their right to all
participation in the government of
Pennsylvania.
These are historical facts, and piano
George W. Woodward in the position
of antagonism to the free exercise of
the franchise by freemen,
-PERSEVERE.-
What New York Thinks.
The Union Convention of Pennsyl
vania, after some days of discussion,
has nominated Andrew G. Curtin, the
present Governor, for re-election.—
Governor Curtin deserves this compli
ment. lie has shown himself on sev
eral oceasionp,, , and under novel and
difficult circumstances, a man of ca
pacity and talent, a faithful and patri
otic guardian of the State, and a zeal
ous lover of' the Union. His adminis
tration has been, so far as we know,
careful and hoOst ; we have heard no
charges against him. or against the
agents responsible to him, of waste or
corruption; and during tho recent in
vasion of the State by Lee's army lie
was both active and capable. Ills char
acter and principles are well known
to•the people of the State ; and for this
reason his nomination is perhaps bet
ter• than if a new man had been put
forward. Moreover, lie is already fa
miliar with the affairs of the State,
and in any emergency will he able to
ac•t more promptly than a newly-in
ducted officer could.
Judge Woodward, the opponent of
Governor Curtin, and the nominee of
the copperhead faction, is an old poli•
titian of the school of the notorious
Hughes, who last year endeavored to
plunge the State into revolution.--
Judge Woodward last year decided
the Soldiers' Voting Bill passed by the
Legislature, to be unconstitutional.—
This decision was accounted at the
time a victory for the copperheads.—
[N. Y. Post.
A QUESTION
For those who Vote for the Amendment
of the Constitution, giving the Soldier
the right of Suffrage.
At the coming election, the question
to amend the Constitution, so as to
give all who may be absent from the
State, engaged as soldiers in the ar
mies of the National Government, the
right to vote, will lae submitted to the
people. It is conceded in all circles,
that the proposed amendment extend•
ing the right of franchise to such per
sons, will be carried by ati almost
unanimous vote. The question arises,
then, as to whether any man who
votes for that amendent can also vote
for George W. Woodward, who is op
posed to the right or suffrage being
extended to the soldier. Surely no
freeman can become , guilty of such
self-abnegation as first to vote the right
of ThefraukiAl •
~_f s • •'
Olen v 51.0 for a man w ( eines Limb
soldier the exercise of such a right.—
Every man who votes for the Amend
ment of the Constitution, extending
the franchise to the soldier, to be con
scientious and sincere in his patriot
ism, must also vote for Andrew G.
Curtin for Governor, who is emphati
cally the soldier's guardian and defen
der.
The Nominations,
Whatever the objections of the politicians
may have been, and whatever the disappoint
ments of indiVidual aspirants may still be,
we have every reason and the best of evidence
to induce the belief, that the nominations of
Curtin and Agnew,-,respectively for.. Gover
nor and Judge of the Supreme Court, are emi
nently satisfactory to the people. Andrew
G. Curtin is peculiarly a people's man. His
association, his interests, his tastes, all lie
In the channel occupied by the same elements
belonging to the people. No .Executive has
ever came so closely in contact with the mass
es, and no officer has been so successful in
caring for the wants and serving the welfare
of the masses as our candidate for Governor.
When the rebellion was precipitated by the
slave holders, in conjunction with the disap
pointed leaders of the Democratic party, a
paralysis for a while seemed to seize every
loyal man in the land. We had been taught
to believe that slavery was invincible. We
were threatened with the assertion that the
superior valor and hot haste of the cut threats
of the South, would soon overwhelm and for
ever crush any attempt which might be Iliad°
by the Government to arrest the organiza
tion of a slaveholders confederacy. In that
hour the sagacity and the skill of the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania exhibited themselves
with wonderful effect and influence. AP
pealing to the people which Gov. Curtin
knows so well how to employ, ha met with
resources of the most gratifying character,
so that Pennsylvania was the first State to
organize and place ti.t the disposal of the Na
tional Government, a force for the protection
of the city of Washington.. Since that hour
it has been the constant care of Gov. Curtin
to promote the efficiency and secure the glory
of the soldiers of the Keystone State. lie it
was who organized the first reserve corps of
the war, an organization that inspired the
hopes and animated the energy of the nation
at an hour when defeat hung with heavy
gloom over the entire country. The Penn
sylvania Reserve Corps was the nucleus
around 'which the magnificent Army of the
Potomac nas organized after it had been
hurled on Manassas, and there made to suf
fer the horrors of a disaster such as never
before overtook the American army. That
was the blow which the rebels imagined
would establish their confederacy and their
superiority, and that was the blow which
would have accomplished all this, had it not
been fur the timely reinforcement which the
army received in the addition of the Penn.
sylvania Reserve corps.
Thus identified with the war for the Un
ion, the success of that war also becomes the
success of Andrew G. Curtin. lie has risk
ed his health and his life in the furtherance
of that cause. He has risked his reputation,
and in many instances bus been accused of
transcending his power to prdmote the com
fort and secure the contentment of the sul
dim•. Anxious and indefatigable first for
the success of our arms on the field, the roar
of battle has scarcely bnen permitted to pass,
until the policy of the State Government has
shown in humane solicitude for the wounded
and in generous preparation for their case
and comfort. Pennsylvania by the unmeas
ured toil of her Executive, has been enabled
to take better care of her wounded and sick
soldiers than any other State in the Union.
The example in this respect, has called forth
the generous emulation of the authorities of
other Commonwealths, until the hospitals
which have been made the retreat of the sub
diers of the Union have become rho admira
tion of the civilized wadi
The, man under whose guidance such re
sults have been achieved, has been named
by the people for re-election as Governor.
Trampling down all opposition and sternly
rebuking, all attempts to overthrow him, the
people have pronounced in his favor with a
unanimity that puzzles party leaders, and
forces acquiescense in his nomination from
all who have a regard fur themselves as well
as the country. That Andrew G. Curtin
will be re-elected, there is not the shadow of
a doubt resting any where. -Pennsylvania
owes it to the glory she has already achiev
ed, and the progress she must make to per
petuate that glory, to re-elect Andrew G.
Curtin Governor of the State by an increased
and overwhelming majority.—Rfarrisburg

xl•ar.—Vallandigham has left the
Clifton House, Niagara Falls, and re
tired to a less expensive retreat a few
miles distant from the Fall,. A cor
respondent of the Chicago 7'ribune
says:
•
"As 7 have before stated, the exhi
bition of the Great Banished at this
point has not begun to pay expenses.
The sympathising auditors have been
few in number, poor in political and
personal antecedents, and not at all
strong or cordial in their condolence.
Most of them came'to take a look at
him as a curiosity rather thail to min
gle their tears with his. his address
to the people of Ohio, issued from this
point, so utterly malevolent and dis
loyal in its tone and utterance, was a
very wet blanket to a large nuMber
of people and politicians who, at the
outset of his misfortunes, were dispos
ed to regard him as a martyr, and felt
desirous of extending him a sympathi
sing hand. They have not been near
him, nor will they come, and now he
goes into retirement.
UNION STATE CONVENTION RES
M=EMMI
The loyal men of Pe»ncylvania, in
Convention assembled, disclaiming all
partizanship, and knowing no cause
hut that of the country, declare fur
themselves and their constituents:
First, Their inflexible purpose to
maintain, by every necessary effort,
service and sacrifice, the National Un
ion, as the first, highest, most solemn
and most overshadowing of all politi
cal ditties.
Sebond, That the rebellion which
threatens the existence of the Union
was without cause, was conceived in
wickedness, organized in perjury, and
developed by reckless violence, is stain
ed with every crime, and detestable
in object, and infernal in purpose, and
must be suppressed by the people of
the United States, at the destruction of
whose liberties and the overthrow of
those free institutions it is injuriously
aimed. That in this momentous con
test there are and can be but two par
ties—one which firmly sustains the
constituted authorities of the nation in
enforcing the laws thereof, and in pro
tecting the principle upon which the
Government rests, and is therefore at
once the party of law, of liberty, and
patriotism; the other which cripples
the constituted authorities of the na
tion in enforcing the laws, securing its
safety, and preserving its life, and is ,
therefore the parent of mobs, the ene
my of order, and a participant in trea
son—the class whose detestable prac
tices give aid and comfort to the com
mon enemy, but as confessed at Rich
mond, light up these clays of rebel
darkness and disaster, and stimulate
them to renewed and desperate efforts
to recruit their armies, and to whom
iu part is this day justly chargeable
whatever of vitality the rebellion pre
serves, and whatever calamity and
affliction the further protraction of the
contest may involve. But for North
ern sympathisers with Southern trea
son and the hopes which their treason
able existence inspires, the rebellion
would have sunk under the stagger
ing blows dealt it at Gettysburg,
- Vicksburg, and Port Hudson.
Resolved, That wholly without sym
pathy for the men who made this war
against a free Republican Government,
or for a system of human bondage, in
whose interest it was instigated, or
cause of despotic principles to which it
is devoted, this Convention declares all
engaged therein, while so engaged, to
be worthy only of our patriotic hatred;
