Friday morning, September 25,1863
(For the Glohe.l
Mn. EDITOR, :—.AS a plea for negro
slavery it is not only alleged in the 1
language of the Hon. Judge Woodward ;
that "slavery is an incalculable bless-
ing to the slave," but that "the African 1
is so deficient in intellect that ho is in ii
-
capable of civilization," a proposition
which involves, when deliberately con
sidered, a direct attack upon the Su-
preme Being, and a direct disregard
of the light of experience and the evi-
deuce of our own senses! I say, it in
volves a direct attack on the Supreme 1
Being. What can be a more plain'',
and palpable denial of his wisdom and
goodness, than to allege in the first
place that one great region of the globe 1
he has made, can only be inhabited by
negroes, (for all contend that it cannot
be inhabited by the white man, and i
that is the fret,) and in the next that 1
he has formed a most numerous race
of human beings and so framed their :
constitutions and organized their j
minds, that they must of necessity, re-
main miserable wretches, doomed to
savage barbarity, or the fetters of sla
very
by his unutterable decree ! That
their nature is such that they are in
capable of being raised even by the
assistance of civilized man, to an abil
ity to provide for their own true hap
piness! If this be true, it never was
true that his "tender mercies are over
all his works." But it is false, evi
dently false, palpably false I Except
ing those "who have eyes see not, and
cars hear not, least at any time they
should understand ;" from the mere
zoophite the link that unites the yogi- 1
table to the mineral kingdom up to i
man the links that unites mortal to 1
immortal existences, we see his wisdom
and Ids infinite goodness written in
characters so legible that "he who runq
may'read." — lliartnimated being that
swims in the water, that moves on the
earth, or that flies in the air, we find
that ho has provided with every organ
and endowed with every capacity ne
cessary, not only to its own existence,
but to enable it to seek out and fasten
on each object necessary to render that
existence as comfortable and happy as
the individual is capable of being. He
has made no one class, order, or gene
ra, dependent en another for the means
of ascertaining its wants, or providing
for their gratification. If we descend
from animal clown to inanimate mat
ter, wherever organized matter and
the principles of life exists, we behold
the same boundless wisdom and inex
haustible goodness, the same happy
adaptation of the best means to the
most beneficent ends, and in nothing
I that He has made is there other design
than that of benevolence, discoverable.
To suppose in man whom be has made
"but a little lower than the angels,"
there is any departure from this uni
form plan of beneficence, is not only
the beighth of folly, it is the excess of
impiety.
I have said such an assertion in
volves a direct disregard - of the light of
experience, and a palpable denial ofl
the evidences of our senses, because
experience and the evidence of our
senses, both flatly contradict it. From
what quarter of the globe did science
first dawn upon the earth ? What
race of men were they who first shed
its light on a world involved in dark
ness. Africa first beheld the light of
science, and Africans first gave learn
ing to mar.. But for Africa and Afri
can genius and talent, for aught we
know, the world, we inhabit, might
yet be as dark as Egypt'sdarkest night.
And yet it is said that, that race who
could discover anti bold up the arts
and sciences to the gaze of an admir
ing world, arc by nature incapable of
improvement. Wbo will say the Afri
can is incapable of 'improvement and
civilization, who is not ignorant of
such men as Christophe and Tousaint ?
Of the few of that degraded race, who
have had an opportunity of attaining
1
to eminence, how great a portion have
succeeded, and so decidedly as to put
to blush every denial of their suscepti
bility of the highest moral and intel- 1
lectual attainments. A few of them
have been scattered through civilized
countries, in those foreign region of

Single department of taste or science
in which these people have not been
distinguished." Dr. Blumebach was
a man of most remarkable r.Jscarch
and scientific attainments, and has
been pronounced the admiration of the
nineteenth century. He is the author
of the most able and scientific treatihe
on the varieties of the human species,
and certainly was better qualified than
any other person to decide upon their
constitutional differences; in that work
he sarcastically observes that entire
and large provinces of Europe might
be named in which it would be difficult
to meet such good writers, poets, phi
losophers and correspondents of the
French Academy; and on the other
hand, that there is no savage people
which have distinguished themselves
by such examples of perfectability and
oven capacity for scientific cultivation
as the negro.
Appropriate to my subject are the ,
following remarks of the celebrated
Volney, also a man of great research
and scientific attainments. Speaking
of the presentaeknowledged Inferiority
of the negro to the white man he says,
"But let the man who would argue
from this single fact, that the race of
negroes must be necessarily an inferi
or species, distinct from all the rest of
the world, compare the taste, the tal
ent, the genius, the erudition that
have at different periods blazed forth
in different individuals of this despised
people, when placed under the foster
ing providence of kindess and.cultiva
tion, with our own countrymen, and
let him blush for the mistake he has
made, and the injury he has commit
ted." Frcidig of Vienna, was a negro
and one of the best architects in Ger
many. Hannibal, a negro, was not
only a Major General and Commander
of Artillery in the Itussian service, un
der Peter the Great, but was deeply
skilled in mathematical and physical
science ; so too, was Leslet of the Isle
of France, who was in consequence

us add to these the names of Vassa
and Ignatius Sancho, the former born
in the kingdom of Benin, the latter on
board a slave ship on her passage from
Guinea to the West Indies. The taste
and genius of these two distinguished
negroes have enriched the polite liter
ature of England. The mother of that
learned-and able divine Dr. Frederick
Ross of the New School Presbyterian
Church, was a slave in Richmond, Va.,
and consequently he-was himself born
a slave,
Indeed, many instances may be ci
ted of genius and elevated character
among Africans who were once slaves
in our own country, sufficient to re
deem them from the unkind imputa
tion by which their perpetual servitude
is sometimes justified. To name but
two—Job Ben Solomon, son of the
king of Bunda on the Gambia, was ta
ken in 1730, and carried to Maryland
where he was sold. lie afterwards
found his way to England, where his
talents, dignified air, and amenity of
character procured for him many
friends, and among the rest Sir Hans
Stone, for whom he translated several
Arabic manuscripts. After being re
ceived with distinction at the court of
St. James, be returned to Africa. His
literary works and his letters which he
afterwards wrote to his friends in
America and England were published
in two volumes, passed through seve

interest. lie is said to have been able

James Dcrham was once a slave in
Philadelphia. In 1788, at the age of
21 he obtained his freedom and after
wards became the most distinguished
physician in New Orleans. "I con
versed with him on medicine," says
Dr. Rush, "and found him very learned.
I thought I could gih him some infor
mation on the treatment of diseases,
but I learned more from him than he
could expect from me." With such
examples of negro powers before us,
is it possible to do otherwise than to
adopt the vary just observation of a
very quaint orator, who has told us
that the "negro like the white man is
still God's image although carved in
ebony l"
Nor is it to a few casual individuals
among the black tribes, appearing in
distant countries, and at distant eras,
that we have to look for the clearest
proofs of human intelligence. At this

whose national virtues would do honor
to the most polished States of Europe.
But, for a further refutation of this
slander of the author of the negro's
being unintellectual, we need only turn
our attention to the rising Republic
of Liberia, on the Western coast of
Africa, its schools, its churches, its
civil and religious institutions, its as
tonishing advancement and general
prosperity, and you will be constrain
ed to confess than the negro is a man
capable of self-government and self-sup
port. For God " hath made of one blood
all nations of men for to dwell on all

In a former communication, I gave
you the expressed sentiments of Gen.
Washington, Patrick Ile,my, Thomas
Jefferson, Chief J ustice Marshall ; John

subject of slavery as it exists amongst

great men have written on the subject;
and for expressing myself thus, J may
be called a &natio, a fool, an abolition
; well, I am content, but with my
consent no man sheerer call me a Cop

I here register my testimony against
the unprincipled, inhuman, anti-Chris

with all its authors, promoters, and
sacrilegious gains; as well as against
the great devil, the father of it and

MIL EDITOR: It is not my intention
to play the alarmist, nor can I say,
with any degree of certainty that there
is any unusual excitement in this com
munity ; but it may not be amiss to
dispatch you the fact, without incur
ring the imputation of violating of the
constitution, that the enemy is on
the alert, and that they have extend
ed their pickets even down into Union
township. They were evidently on a
reconnoisancc, in that section of the
county on Saturday evening last, but
not in very strong force, 1101 , with ar
tillery of very largo calibre; neither
do I think they were in possession of
any shells charged with Greek fire, or
even of time fuses of long range, for
their greatest efforts appeared to fall
still-born within hailing distance of
their own ollhctories. But levity aside,
if we can lie serious while contempla
ting such farcical pretentions to the
advocacy of Democratic principles.
Be it known to all to whom these pres
ents may come, that the unterrified
Breckinridgers were duly assembled,
in force, after two weeks drumming
up, at the School House near Maple
ton, in Union tp., on Saturday evening
last, at which place a good many were
assembled—a good many boys and
some men—and some good men too.
-After the usual routine ot proceed
ings in organizing the meeting, a gen
tleman was called to the stand evident
ly a stranger to most of the persons
present, and from the stammering
manner in which he addresed the au
dience, he was no less a stranger to the
principles he essayed to advocate—
Judge Woodward's Native American
ism—his effort to prevent persons of
foreign birth from acquiring citizen
' ship in this State; his enunciation that
" we must re-assort the rights of slave
holders, and give additional guaran
ties to slavery !" and that " slavery
was an incalculable blessing" were
knotty topics, and give evidence to all
who were willing to see, that the
speaker was not armed with weapons
equal to their proper discussion.
But, as in the days of our oriental
fathers, the best wine was kept back
to the last, when to the delight of all
present, was presented on the stage,
in propia persona, the elite, astute,
erudite and chivalrous B. Milton Speer,
Esq., late Assistant Clerk of the House
of Representatives, and, if report be
true, an aspirant for the Chief Clerk
ship, in the nett, if, by any stratagem,
Copperheadism can succeed jacketing
a majority to the said House. He pre
sented himseif in full sail, as if to say,
clear the track; get thee behind me
for I am chief apostle in this synagogue;
I say to one go, and Le goeth, and to
another come, and he cringes to my
bidding, and I say to On surging
TERMS, $1,50 a year in advance,
waves be still, and, my courtiers tell
me, I must be obeyed. Now, here
wo bad Robert: in the place where a
good man ought to stand, charged to
tho mouth with thrilling speech of
learned length and thundering sound.
All eyes were askance; every car was
alive to the liquid streams that poured
forth in vivid flashes of words that
burn. Ills was thepower and his was
the design to scout the Union senti
ment, now so rife in the country, to
the fair winds of heaven. Nothing
but the determination of the Unionists
with Lincoln and Curtin at their head
to maintain the old Democratic gov
eminent in tact, could have produced
or prolonged the now e4isting war.
He bad been," for the last two or
years, personally acquainted with Gov
ernor Curtin, and that we could f } ncl
better men in boll than Governor Cur
tin, and that he was fit fit nothing
above hell." These are not given as
his exact words, but so near them that
there is no mistaking his idea. You,
Mr. Lewis, formed the subject of a
beautiful flight of eloquence, couched
in similar phraseology, and to the dis
grace of some professors of Christiani
ty present, they stamped, clapped and
huzzaed at the enunciation of such
blasphemies as these. Yes, men who
kneel around the altar, consecrated to
the worship of Almighty God, and par
take of the bread and wine, emblems
of the broken body and shed blood of
a dying Saviour, disgraced the Cims
thin name by pandering to, and aiding
in the • promulgation of the practices
of infidelity. By giving aid and com
fort to the insidious emissaries of his
satanic majesty, under the disguise of
Democratic teachings more danger
ous to the minds of the rising genera
tions than the Age of Reason or any
of the infidel publications of Torn Paine.
Democratic teacherS who have sto
len the livery of Heaven to serve the
devil in perambulating 'the country,
galvanizing the corpse of old defunct
Federalism and baptising it Dew- --
ey. As well might you attempt to
itt-fight-and darkness or Christ - and
l3elial, as . to assimilate old stinking
Federalism to the never dying princi
ples of Democratic Republicanism.
The lion's skin is too short, and hence
the exposure. The intelligent voters
of Union township, are not to be led
away by the insane croakings of fly
up-the-creeks like these. If we aro
wrong give us the argument of ration
al minds and we will hear you, but no
more tom-foolery; we have had a sur

What Woodward and Vallandigham
Will Do.
Hi! Woodward. and Trallaadigham
were elected, wi(4 Seymour and Parker,
they would unite m calling from the army
the troops from their respective States, for
the purpose of compelling the Administra
tion to invite a Convention of the States
to adjust our difficulties."—Extract of a
speech delivered by Mester Clymer,
at Somerset, Pa.
—There is no disguise about all
this. Taken in conjunction with the
confessions of the Harrisburg Patriot
(f: Union, a tory sheet, the declara
tions of Clymer may be regarded as
the fixed policy of the copperheads, a
policy to end this war by the destruc
tion of the National Government,—
This narrows down the issues in the
present political campaign to the
simple question,, Shall Abraham Lin
coln, the Constitutionally elected and
Constitutionally inaugurated _President
of the United States, ha allowed in
peace to administer the Government
of the said States? or shall Jefferson
Davis, a traitor and usurper, who has
participated in the murder of hundreds
and thousands of Union men—who
has been instrumental in laying waste
largo tracts of fruitful, peaceful and
prosperous territory—who has repudi
ated the Constitution—who has con
spired to destroy the Union—who has
sworn to spread slavery all over the
free states—shall this rebel and traitor
establish a Government over that
inaugurated by the heroes of the Revo
lution These are now the questions in
volved in the campaign for Governor
of the State of Pennsylvania. If Cur
tin is elected Governor, Lincoln will
continue, as he was elected, the Con•
stitutional President of the United
States. If Woodward succeeds to the
Gubernatorial succession in the State,
then will como local rebellion—then
will follow a conflict of jurisdiction, a
collision with the national authorities
and Pennsylvania at war with the
National Government. Nothing could
be plainer than all this. It, is an issue
which the Copperheads- have boldly
made. Their speakers advance it on
the stump and their scribes urge it in
their journals. Hence every man can
vote knowingly. Ho can knowingly
vote for Woodward and rebellion, or
he can vote for Curtin and the safety
of the National Government by the
support of the National Administra
tion,

STEVENSON, ALA., Sept, 4, 1863
DEAR BROTHER : Yours was TOCCiy,
ed to-day. We expected 'ere this to
have been on 0,4 r march, but owing to
the delay in getting the pontoons
across the river, we have been detain
ed until now; everything was ample:
ted yesterday, and now the army is
moving toward Chattanooga and -At
lanta, as rapidly as possible. Wo will
cross another hard mountain before
we reach either of those places, and I
can assure you T. wish the march was
over. For I expect it will be one of
the hardest that ever your humble bro
ther undertook. I have an excellent
horse, and if Ivo are not compelled to
walk up and down the mountain . as
wo have done before, why, I am all
0 K, but if we walk, then I expect to.
have some aching limbs. But it is all
for the good of my countiji. That is
consolation.
I suppose you and Johnson arc glad
you escaped the draft. Dave, excuse
my frankness. I could not have sym
pathised with either of you had you
been drafted, for it would havo done
you no harm to serve your .country
some. I would have given two months
wages to have soon B—. C—. and
some more of the Birmingham lfoni,
for supporters names in the list of the
drafted. I looked for them, but sorry
to say, was sadly disappointed: Cald
well, Speor,and some more of the home
traitors, I am overjoyed to learn, havo
drawn prises in the National lottery,
I hope they will be compelled to shoul
der arms, and their first engagemont
with the rebels willbo their last one, as
should be the fate of all those who ad
vocato the election of the 14omocratic
candidate for Governor of the old Key
stone State, and the followers of Val
landightun ; a man who is creating
more disturbance, and causing us to
be longer from our happy homes than
ea Jeff himself.
I hope and pray none of our mono
will vote for Woodward. Remember
will you ?
I had the pleasure a few days since,
of taking by the hand our friend and
schoolmate Captain Tom McCabe') of
the 9th Penna. Cavalry. Toni is a
fine fellow, and looks well; he would
like if he could leave his post lo the
sunny South to go home and vote for
Curtin, being it is unconstitutional to
vote' in the army.
There are not many of our family in
the army, but are at borne enjoying
the comforts of life, at peaceful fire,
sides. So what, you do at the coming
election, do in a manner so as to bene
fit and not injure the Government, as
the YanniqcV42lm elasa are tr,Ylog to
do at present.
Yours, truly, S . T. O.
Tr PENNSYLVANIA AND 01110 will eleet,
respectively their Union candidate for.
Gevernor, it will be the severest blow
that the rebellion has yet received.—
A political victory in these two States
will arouse the union feeling in Ails,
souri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Texas,
Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee.
In spite of all the victories which
the rebels claim to have gained over
the Union forces in these States, they
are still lost to the confederate
government, and now only await the
result of elections in the States named,
openly to throw off all semblance of
association with the conspirators, and
secede back in to the Union. The
people of the South have been taught thus
early to believe that the election of Val
landiyhanb and Woodward Governors,
respectively of Ohio and Pennsylvania,
would be tantamount to joining in the
work against the Government at Wash-
ington.—llenee, the Union pion in the
States named are only waiting to see,
what action the people of Ohio and
Pennsylvania will take. If these
States proclaim, by their votes, that
they still adhere to the Union and the
Government, we will soon bear of
I rebellion against rebellion in the Soth.
thorn States named. But if the two
groat free Commonwealths in question
cast majorities of their votes for the
candidates for Governor of those who,
sympathize with treason, it will dam
pen the ardor of the loyal men of the
South and open a now path to the spee
dy triumph of the slave-holders' rebel
lion, what is wanted now, is the ac
tion of freemen at home—action look
ing to an endorsement of those in civil
authority, and the encouragement of
those in military peril. This can only
be secured by rebuking the secret
sympathizer with treason. This can
only be completely accomplished by re 7
electing Andrew . G. Curtin Governor;
