The latest and noblestwork of Rebeldom
[Front the Na , hville Ireton.]
The rebellion has failed to produce
one useful and humane invention.—
There has not been a redeeming trait
of character exhibited in alt the rebel
crew. They have fought like Wild
cats against all the graces of civiliza
tion. They have exhausted their pow
ers of invention in the channels of bru
tality. The civilized world is not pre
pared—it is impossible for it to believe
the ht.lf of the fiendish outrages that
have been perpetrated by this race of
incarnate devils. They have changed
the whole moral code. Theft, and
murder and falsehood, that were ban
ished from earth among heathen races,
have become objects of worship. Of
all the outrages to which, any people
have been subjected, the last institute
of tin-tare devised for'East,Tennessee,
is the most vile, the most brutal, and
the most congenial to' the morals and
spiritual culture of the rebels.
The women of East Tennessee have
been forced to go into the fields, andla
btu' to raise bread for themselves and
children. They have, toiled so earnest
ly and faithfully, and succeeded in
raising such abundant crops, that the
brutal leaders of this rebellion have
appointed a commission to accompany
the conscript agents to ascertain whe
ther they *really aro women, or men
in disguise. This most inhuman com
mission is now subjecting those patri
otic mothers to an examination the
most cruet and barbarous that has C
erdisgraced humanity. We know the
education and instincts of these animals
and can credit, the statements of men
of veracity who have recently fled from
that persecuted land. Those persons
who aro ignorant, of their characters
cannot believe sucha cruel mode of
torture.
When the annals of this barbarous
rebellion arc written, a tale of cruelty
will be unfolded worthy of the, knights
of the lash, revolver, and kllife. This
is but the male side of the story; the
female portion is still more painful and
degrading. It is painful to contem
plate the outrages now being enacted
in that most loyal, most patriotic por
tion of this Union. When shall it end?
A Specimen Rebel Clergyman.
The southern pulpit is largely re
sponsible for the rebellion which for
two years has filled the land with
mourning. It has from first to last
done everything it could to "fire the
southern heart." The character of
the men who are thus employed, as
events gradually disclose the truth, is
found to be precisely what we should
suppose in men of their action. There
are southern clergymen, doubtless,
who aro honest and sincere in their
course, but the greater number are
probably men of the stamp of Bishop
Polk, and of that chaplain who lately
attended John Morgan as a guide in
his dash through Ohio, pointing out
and helping to rob and kill Union men,
Another fit representative of this class
is one Rev. Dr. Marshall, who former
ly presided over a Presbyterian church
in Vicksburg-, and during the war hits I
been a sort of general-utility man for
Jeff. Davis. In Vicksburg' this divine
lived in style, borrowing money of
Union men to maintain his establish
ment, and preaching secession on all
possible occasions. At ono time he
elegantly said in his pulpit: "I know
we shall succeed, unless God Almighty
shall pay a premium for rascality."—
On another occasion he declared that
"if any man has any sneaking feeling
of Unionism about him, he ought to bo
crushed to the earth." c,
A year or so ago this reverend advo
cate of rebellion constituted himself an
agent for the distribution of contribu
ted supplies to the rebel troops, and it
is proved against him that ho took
great quantities of socks, shirts, draw
ers and other articles manufactured by
wives, mothers, and sisters at home,
and peddled them at retail in Rich
mond, putting the proceeds therefor
Into his own purse. Very naturally,
these proceedings made the reverend
Dr. Marshall decidedly odious to the
rebel troops, but he was allowed to go
unpunished, his services to the.politi
cians being altogether too valuable to
permit his removal from active life to
the jail for which his criires bad fitted
him. It is a satisfaction, however, to
know that the reverend rebel was oust
ed from his line residence at Vicksburg
by General Logan, who put it in pos
session of an old and tried . Union citi
zen whose home had been destroyed
during the siege of the rebel strong
hold.
It is thus, through the pulpit and by
pensioned clergymen who are but
mere puppets in their bands, that the
rebel chiefs have incited the people,
even through their religious emotions
and sympathies, to the commission of
crimes at which coming generations
will stand appalled,

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
Mn. EDITOR,: For more than throe
hundred years, an odious traffic in•hu
man flesh, has been carried on from
the Western coast of Africa to the con
tinent of America, which in its conse
quences has produced more unmingled
woo, than any other calamity, which
has befallen the human family. It is
not my purpose to enter into a minute
detail of this abominable, :Heaven-de
tested commerce. Suffice it to. say,
that for hundreds of years past, about
eighty thousand btiman beings have
been torn from their homes, and their
friends, and all their earthly attach
ments, in each and every year of that
long and dreary peliod..
'When the, Spaniards discovered the
Island of St. Domingo, it was suppo
sed to contain upwards of a-million of
inhabitants. And in the shoft spice
of fifteen years, that vast multitude
had been reduced to about sixty thou
sand, and they were diminishing dai
ly. About this time it was discover
ed that the Western coast of Africa
was peopled with a hardy race, who
were capable of enduring toil, and
whose constitutions were adapted to
UM heat of a tropical climate. Thith
er the Spaniards turned their eyes, as
to a place where slaves could be pro:
cured to labor in their mines; and
from that accursed hour until the pre
sent tilde, the inhab;tants of Africa
have been torn from home and all the
sweets and comforts of home and have
been dragged into bondage under ch.-
cumstances. of cruelty and barbs ri
which has stamped everlasting infamy
on all the actors in, and aiders and
abettors Of, this horrible traffic.
When the slave traders first visited
the western coast of Africa, it is said
to have been a most delightful coun
try. It was thickly studded with
villages, and swarmed with a popula
tion who were simple in their man
ners, amiable in their dispositions, and
wore in the quiet enjoyment of the
bounties which nature had bestowed
upon them in great profusion. It is
true they were not civilized according
to our ideas of civilization ; and it is
also true that nature had stamped on
them a complexion differnt from ours;
but still they were comparatively, an
innocent, happy, unoffending race.
But the scene has been sadly changed
in that ill-fated country; a country red
with black men's blood, and black with
white men's crimes.
The slave traders introduced among
thesd simple people every thing that
could please the fancy, excite the en-.
pidity, or rouse the passions of unciv
ilized persons. They fomented quar
rels among them, and furnished them
with the means of destroying each
other, until at length-every man's hand
was turned against his brother. The
consequence was that the native tribes
on the coast of Africa made war on
each other, in which the great object
was to make prisoners; and every
person who was taken prisoner was
sold to the slave-dealer, and was hur
ried on board the slave ships, which
were constantly hovering off the shores
of that devoted land.
But indeed it is impossible to pour
tray the sorrows and the sufferings
of the wretched sons and daughters of
Africa. Think if you can conceive
it, measure, if you can ascertain its
dimensions, the length, and breadth,
and heighth, and depth of that tremen
dous load of grief, which presses
on the heart of the captive, when he
casts the last lingering look on all ho
is leaving behind him—when he
is about to be torn from home and all
its pleasures, from his kindred and all
he holds dear on earth ! Form an idea
if you can, of that unutterable desola
tion which encompasses the father and
mother whose children have been torn
from them in a moment, and of whom
they are never again to hear any in
telligence on this side of the grave I
Conceive if you can, the bitterness of
that cup of woe which the captive
drinks to the dregs, as ho is carried
gores. the ocean in a floating dungeon,
the draught continually embittered by
the rembrance of that home, and those
friends he never more shall see ! Bring
these things home to your own doors
and measure them by your own feel
ings, and tell the result if you can !
Think not these poople, either in the
land from which they came, or in that
to which they are going, do not feel
like other human beings, in like cir
cumstances. It is a sad mistake to
to think so,—
" 'Fleecy locks, and black complexion
Cannot forfeit nature's claim ;
Skins may differ, but affection
Dwells in white and block the came. "
Happy indeed would it be, for these
wretched captives, if they lost their
feelings at the same time they loose
their freedom. But they do continue
to feel, and that most, keenly and
such is the'effeet of that unutterable
despair, which takes pesscssiOn of their
whole souls, that it prompts them to
adopt every means in their power to
destroy their miserable lives.
Of the eighty thousand persons sup
posed to be carried captive yearly from
the continent of Africa, one third of
the whole number arc supposed to (lie
on the passage, from causes, some of
which I have enumerated, and thrown
in the ocean. Another third arc supPo
sod to die in what is called the season.
ing, so that out of eighty thousand
persons torn from Africa every year
upwards of fifty thousand have died
from evil treatment and of broken
hearts, and other causes, in the course
of a few months, from the time the
galling chain of slavery wai fastened
around their necks * Oh I what a
prodigious waste of human life ! Let
us pause fora moment and form an
fdoa, if we can, of that mighty multi
tude of the murdered sons and daugh
ters of Aftica l who on that day, when
the ocean shall give up its dead, shall .
appear at the bar of God to demand
vengeance of their cruel murderers !
Can any one, for a moment, contem
plate this long protracted scene of
villainy, and not be satisfied that there
is need for and must be a day of awful
retribution approaching ?

EDITOR GLOBE: Dear &r--With
your permission, I want to give you a
short account of the way some of our
Democrats have acted out hero since
the breaking out of the present rebel
lion, and what they remind me of.
For the purpose of finding out wheth
er the matter is local, or whether the
same peculiarities have been observed
in other places—in the first place some
of my old friends lamented a groat
deal about our "Southern brethren"
and their " rights," the poor fellows
seemed to have no relations in the
North at all, or if they had, seemed to
care nothing at all about either them
or their " rights," and they were
great trouble about the "Constitution";
were very much afraid "Old Abe" as
they called him, would ruin it forever,
by calling out men for three years,
when the law only provided for three
months. They seemed to have no
fears for Jeff Davis, and the secession
ists doing any harm, if old Abe the
Abolitionist could only be kept in
bounds. They had a great deal to
say about how this war might have
been avoided—and they laid the en
tire blame of its not having been avoid
ed, on the North, and refused to do
anything to get out of the serape, be
cause as they said, it was not their
fitult that the country got into it—
there seemed to be different stripes
among them. Some of them justified
the Secessionists, and hoped they
would succeed—said they had just as
good cause for revolution as the
colo
nies bad when they revolted. They
reminded moot' the traitors in tho South
only they were twice as mean. Oth
ers said the Secessionists were wrong,
bat they would neither do or say any
thing in favor of the war for fear of
strengthening the Republican party,
and weakening ours. They put me in
mind of the firemen of Brigine No. 1,
at a fire, because No. 2 got to it first,
they refused to do anything, but cool
ly stood by and lot their own proper
ty burn for fear No. 1 would get cred
it fm putting out the fire:
Others wore willing to support the
Government—to put down the rebel
lion, only they were afraid, the war
would go too far and would bo carried
on so as to interfere with slavery;
and so they hold back and not only
did nothing to aid the Government
but threw all their influence against it.
They remind me of a stout able bodied
fellow I once saw at a barn-raising—
a largo heavy bout was going up, and
all hands were at their best lift, the
"Boss" sung out "yo heave" and all
hands pushed and strained till it
stuck, when on looking round here
stood a big fellow with a rope attach
ed taking a half hitch on a stump in
the rear, for fear it might go too far
and fall over and hurt somebody.
Another and large class put mo in
mind of an old goose we had when 1
was a boy; she was set to hatching in
a fence corner, below the barn and by
some means her eggs all got damaged
and were, finally destroyed ; and to
get her away, her nest was filled with
HUNTINGDON, PA,, WEDNESDAY,
MONMOUTH', ILLINrnS,
August 13, ISG:3. j.
-PERSEVERE.-
brickbats, but in spite of all this, she
stuck to the spot and hatched, away
for a summer season, hissing away at
every attempt to induce her to leave,
till the flesh wasted from her bones,
and the feathers from 'her belly. So
it is with these fellows, they stick to
the old political nest, and hiss at the
Administration and every move it
makes, with the pertinacity of the old
goose, and with as lunch prospect of
bringing forth any good thing as the
old goose from the brick-bats.
Bet there is another class of recent
growth whd professed to be in favor
of a more vigorous prosecution of the war,
talked about our army, and tried to
get positions with good pity
. and . safe
m
places, and some of them ade the
same professions to get votes to elect
them to the Legislature, and to Con
gress; the first when they failed to
get positions, and the last after they
were elected, fell into the "fire in the
rear" peace party, and used their in
fluence and position to encourage the
rebels and discourage our army. They
remind me of Judos Iscariot and Ben
edict Arnold: They are called "cop
perheads" now, for I think it a disgrace
to the snakes to make the -comparison.
Indeed, I know of hilt one serpent
that would not suffer in a. comparison
with such, and that is the old serpent
the Devil, and I don't know that he
would consider it any compliment to
be compared to them. There are
other small shades of difference among
them not worthy of note. Douglas
said in this contest there could be but
two classes patriots and traitors, either
for the Government or against it. I
don't like to say
.hard things about
old friends, but they Certainly don't
seem to be for the Government.
Yours, &e
The President,
The practical sagacity of the I'resi•
dent is daily justified. Ms impulses
are wiser than the wary plans of more
cunning men. It is true that, in wri
ting the letter to the Albany Commit
tee, lie was faintly
_accused in some
quarters of want of dignity. But both
the resolution to write and the time of
writing were most happy illustrations
of his shrewdness, while the letter it
self is unanswerable, and will hence
forth be a constituent part of the body
of Constitutional interpretation. Ills
replies to Governor Seymour are not
less excellent in their way. •
In fact, from the moment of his in
auguration it will appear that he has
fulfilled every duty of his great office
with an ability not less remarkable
than his honesty. The desperate ef
fort to make him seem to be a partizan
has utterly failed. Ho has aimed only
at the maintenance of the government;
and to secure that end he has no more
hesitated to adopt a policy which his
own party approved than he has to
take measurcS which tiro party op
posed to him applauded. He has filled
the chief posts of command with men
of all political views. Yet he has been
most sharply denounced from the be
ginning of the war no less by his old
party friends than enemies. The con
sequence is, that, at this moment, he
stands a little outside of all parties,
even among loyal men. The rebels,
and their tools, the Copperheads, of
course, bate him. TheLWar Demo
crats doubt some points of his policy.
The Conservative .Republicans think
him too much in the hands of the rad
icals; while the radical Republicans
think him too slow, yielding, and half
hearted. And yet, without doubt, the
more thoughtful and patriotic men of
all parties can not but see how time
confirms his wisdom, and were a Pres
ident to be named to-morrow they
would declare for Mr. Lincoln.
So calm is his temperament, and so
patriotic his policy, that thg,emancipa
tion act from his hands could not seem,
and never has seemed, to be a partisan
movement. From thd beginning he
did not doubt the right of emancipa
tion as a military measure. But he
carefully declared the object of the war
to be the maintenance of the Govern
ment. When Fro'iaont and Hunter
issued their orders ho quietly revoked
them, not, as he said, because such.
measures were wrong, but because in
his view the time for them had not
come, and when it came, ho must ex
ercise the power. When it did come,
he warned the rebels last September
that he had never doubted the possible
military necessity might arise; that a
military measure so grave and so long
agitated should not be summarilyadop
ted ; that he admonished them, if they
feared the consequences of such a mea
sure, to escape them by submission to
the laws ; and that if they did not sub
mit within three months the measure
would become a part of the policy of
the Government.
The rebels tint:ol . od, and their allies,

I the Copperheads, organized. The dis
astrothi failure of McClolian's and
Pope's catnpaigns, with the retirement
of Leo in good order after Antietam,
the long inaction of, the autumn, and
the removal of McClellan, dispirited
many and disaffected some to the war.
Tho consequences were' seen in the
elections. Mr. Horatio Seymour is a
specimen of the result. But the .Pres
ident did not waver. The country was
to be savod, if at all, by a policy which
was not approved by the viitualfriends
of the rebellion. The opposition of
such gentlemen as Mr. Seymour and
his managers was the conclusive argu
ment for that policy. Therefore, on
the 14 of January, the Order of eman
cipation was issued and all persons
held on that day as slaves within spe
cified limits were freed.
To that order, and the policy which
dictated it, every sincerely loyal man
accedes. Fcr it was clearly not an act
of the President, as a partisan Repub
lican, but as Commander in chief,
sworn to defend the GovernMent, by
every military resource. The loyal
men who sustain it today are of all the
late Tolitical parties and of all shades
of opinion in regard to Slavery. The
order was not issued by the Comman
der in chief, nor is it supported by the
loyal country, because slavery is wrong,
but because it helps the enemy.—
Doubtless the conviction that it is the
root of the war has made many assent
with more alacrity to the act of eman
cipation; but the President adopted it
as a military and not as a moral meas
ure The way in which it was done,
and the time, are both indications of
the practical wisdom of the Chief Ma
gistrate.
History will vindicate the President,
even if our impatience should be unjust
to him. It will show that succeeding
to the executive head of the Govern
ment at a moment of most complica
ted military and political peril, and
when national salvation seemed almost
impossible, he displayed such simplici
ty, earnestness, honesty, patience and
sagacity —neither overwhelmed by
disaster, nor confoundod by treachery,
nor disquieted by the distrust of friends
—that be may bo truly called a Pro
vidential man.—Harper's Weekly.
Execution of a Deserter.
[Correepondenco of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
CAMP NEAR MORRISVILLE, Va., Aug.
20.—0n0 of those melancholy events
which seldom take place in the army
—too seldom, many persons think, for
its efficiency and well being—took
place this afternoon, at throe o'clock, in
the rear of the Second Division, Sec
ond Corps, General A. Webb, comman•
ding.
The name of the unfortunate man is
Mabury.' Ito belonged to the Seventy
first Regiment, P. V, better known as
Baker's and Wistar's California, The
antecedents of the poor man I am un
acquainted with. Suffice it to say that
his crime was desertion, of which he
had boon proved to be guilty twice,
and for which he was executed this af
ternoon in the presence of thousands
of' the Army of the Potomac,
The scene was a most impressive
one, and doubtless has nuide an indeli
ble impression on the assembled null %
titude. The troops were drawn up in'
throe lines—one in front, one on the
right, and the other on the loft of the
prisoner. Our Brigade, of which ho
was a member, occupied the front line.
The prisoner was conducted to the
place of execution, preceded by the
Captain of the Provost Guard and the
Brigade Band, who played an air ap
propriate to the melancholy , occasion.
The guard, who were selected as the
firing party and numbered thirteen
men, followed in the rear, preceded by
the coffin, which was carried by four
mon. ID was • accompanied by the
Chaplain of the Seventy-second Regt,
The prisoner walked with a measured
tread to the place of execution, and
though he seemed to realize the solem
nity of the scene before hiM, and the
occasion which had called together so
many troops with sad and melancholy
countenances, betrayed no fear or'
trembling emotion and shed not a tear
in passing. He was conducted to the
spot which had previously been chosen
as the place of execution. The grave,
which was soon to swallow his bleed
ing remains was already dug and
yawned before him. He was directed
to be seated on his coffin which was
placed in front of his grave, this, how
ever, was of but short continuence.—
The Adjutant General of the Division
(Capt. Woods) then directed the pris
oner to stand up while ho read the pro
needing and findings of the Court to
the unhappy man. 110 listened with
respectful deference to its recital, still
evincing no weakness or faint hearted
ness whatever, outwardly; however,
much of it he may have felt wringing
his poor heart within. He had evi-
TERMS, $1,60 a year in advance.
dently nerved himself for the great
struggle which was to dose his oyos
forever in this world from the beauti
ful landscape which for miles spread
out before him. Externally ho per
formed this part well which induced
every ono to form the opinion that
cowardice could not have made the
man desert but some other. motive or
motives best known to himself and his
God.
When the Adjutant Goneral had
concluded, he sat 'down on his coffin,
when the chaplain who'was in attend
ance on him, addressed the multitude;
and the unhappy man , also spoke for
fe* minutes. Nearly all of the ad
dress of the latter was inaudible;
enough however could be heard to un
deastand that he asseredt ho had not
deserted on account of cowardice, but
I from other motives which were not
enunciated to the multitude. A ferv
ent prayer was offered up in 'behalf of
the.prisoner, which I feel quite sure
was participated in by nearly all tho
troops, though I believeall wore of the
opinion that the sentence was a just
one.and ought to be strictly carried
out in his case. I might remark here,
that quite a revolution in sentiment
I has taken place in the army in regard
to the punishment of deserters of late.
Thousands of instances have occurred
of men deserting from the army, and
little notice taken of it—there is gen
erally some flaw found in the proceed
ings which exonerates the guilty ono
and ho has been returned to duty.—
The very case we have just, been giv
ing an account of is a case in point—
had more severe measures been resort
ed to in the early period of the unhap
py rebellion, the discipline of the army
would have been better maintained,
and where insult and contumely is
thrown at it now, respect and obedi
ence would occupy their place.
Why, it is notorious that many men
desert for the purpose of joining some
other body to get the bounty money.
I am told there aro some cases of this
kind now to be tried in our brigade—
desertions from our brigade since the
war began aro-not counted-by scores
but hundreds. it is obvious then that
something should ho done to arrest ab,
evil of such magnitude and ono which
has been so baneful and demoralizing
in its effects on the army. Doubtless
there aro many cases 'more aggrava
ting than the one which is the subject
of this article, who have not suffered
the penalty which they so richly merit
or that he has paid. But that is no
reason that justice should be overlook
ed or abandoned in his case. Bettor
begin late than not at all. Some good
I may flow from the execution of the
sentence in his case being carried out
which will prevent hundreds, perhaps
thousands, from following his unpat
riotic example, and conduce to elevate
the sentiment of loyalty to the good
old flag, unfortunately in too many in
stances permitted to fall to a very low
standard in the army.
The prayer being finished, the pris
oner was approached by the Captain
of the Provost Guard, who directed
him to take off his coat, while ho tied
a white handkerchief on his eyes.—
ile then shook hands with the Captain
of the Guard, the Chaplain and one or
two others, and then sat down on his
coffin. The signal for the time of be
ing ready was then given by the unfor
tunate man himself. It was to raise
his right hand out right. As soon as
tliis was done the captain of the guard
gave the commands to the firing party
—"Ready," "Aim," "Fire," which was
done as soon as the commands wore
given, and the lifeless form of poor
Mabury lay by the side of his coffin.—
Thus ended the mortal career of a
man who, judging from his appearance,
was a man of some intelligence, by no
means unprepossessing, and with a
conformation of body above the com
mon standard. I.have no disposition
to speak lightly of his character. Ho
was enlisted as a soldier under his
country's flag; he deserted that flag in
its day of tribulation, and for that of
fence he has suffered the punishment
duo to the commission of a heinous
crime. It is probable that bad compa
ny and evil example has led him to do
the deed, and be who could have giv
en his life in his country's service, the
memory of which would have :boon
handed clown to posterity with the
blessings of his countrymen, has been
,considered too unworthy to live, among
them for ever more. May his exam
ple prove beneficial to others who may
have cherished similar propensities,
and save them from a like fate. Ho
was a man over thirt§ years of age, I
should think, and I am told leaves 0 ,
wife and two children in Philadelphia.

COLD BLOODED MURDER OF A CHRIS
TIAN MINISTER.—The Rev. P. Glen, a
pious and . devoted nrinister of the Lu
theran church, a Pennsylvanian by
birth, but for a number of years past
a citizen of Indiana, was cruelly mur
dered, and his house burned to the
ground on the 9th of July, by the fol
lowers of John. Norgail, during their
recent raid into the 'States of Indiana
and Ohio.
The rebels first attacked and wound
ed Mr. Glenn's sou very severely, and
then_ plundered his house of all they
wanted. Fearing they would take
his life, ho fled to the woods for con
cealment, but on seeing his house on
fire, and fearing that his wounded son
and perhaps his wife might bo consu
med, he felt it his duty to return, if
possible, to rescue them. Just, at that
time . three of the seonndrela thAt bad
passed the house returned with a flag
of truce. Raving no idea of the perfi
dy of these mon ho.returned, and was
met by them with extended hands and
friendly greetings. On their complain
ing of being thirsty, Mr. Glenn gave
them water, and as soon as 'they bad
drank, ho was shot by one of them .in .
his house, doubtless supposing that he
would burn up with the house. But
after ho was wounded, he walked two
or three rods from. his house, remark
ing to his son, who was lying under a
tree, "I am also wounded," and expi
red in about fifteen minute,.
Whilst the house was burning they
would not permit Mrs. Glenn to take
out anything but a small portion of
clothing, and when robbing her smoke
house they would not allow her to
take a single ham or bar of soap, say s

Meeting of War Demoorats in In

A very large and onthusiasiic meet ,
log of War Democrats was held Mere
to-night. All.parts•ef-tho'Stitte,4Wre
fully represented. 'Gen: .Drathatr-Kini..
bail presided, and Major Gon. Bohn
JL'Clernand; Gen. Dumont - and Hon:.
Henri Sacrist wore among the spoal
ors. •
Letters were received' from Hon.
Lewis Cass and Gen. Logan and Dan.
S. Dickinson, all of whom expressed
their sympathy with the objects of the
Convention.
Resolutions were adopted favoring
a vigorous prosecution of the war e
sustaining the Administration in all
its efforts to put down the rebellion,
denouncing the State agent Auditor
and Treasurer of tho State for their
willingness to repudiate the public
debt and sacrifice tho honor and cred
it of tho Stato for partizan purposes.
—The Lebanon Advertiser says:—
"The only thing that the opposition
have thus far been able to say against.
Judge Woodward is, that, being the
Democratic candidate for Governor,
ho has not resigned his position on the
Supreme Bench."
Perhaps the Advertiser forgets that
Judge Woodward was the author of
the decision that soldiers have no right
to vote; and the author of the resolu
tion excluding foreigners from 'tile
elective franchise until they bad been ,
twenty-ono years in the United: States;'
and the author of the' infamous doc
trine, which all loyal Democrats have
repudiated, that secession is right, and
that the South is right in rebelling
against this Government. The Adver
tiser seems to be oblivious of these
amiable little traits in the political
character of Mr. Justice Woodward.
—The Bedford Argus utters the fol
lowing trenchant truth : "Lot the peo
ple of Pennsylvania elect George W. -
Woodward to be Governor of this great
Commonwealth and wo would goon
see the same disgraceful scenes enact
ed that have disgraced the ity of New
York. His principles, and those of
the miserable crew who nominated
him, aro the same as those of Wood
and Seymour."
