The Democratic Ticket,. fn another column will be found the pro ceedings of the,Democratic County Conven tion, and the ticket placed in nomination. Every borough and township in the Coun ty was represented in the Convention, and, notwithstanding a groat number of can didates were supported by zealous friends the beat of feeling prevailed throughout tire proceedings of the Convention, and each norn iufttion was made unanimous. We have no time to speak of the ticket to-day. We shall refer to it hereafter. U'e may say, however, that the gentlemen selected for the various othoes are unexceptionable in every resnect. and shall receive our cordial support. From top to bottom the - ticket is a strong one, and afmr.y man on it will he elected by a triumph ant majority. Let our friends now go to work in earnest, and let the watch-words of the party ho “ the ticket, the whole ticket, and nothing but the ticket;” Government Robbery.- —Lust year a man ntitarred intshaw commenced ‘Serving the Guv lament*' aa a Quartermaster at Louisville, buying mules and horse's, and eo on. lie was then in comfortable circumstances. Now he keeps nine snlendod steeds, with magnificent outfits, and lives in a style of the most lavif-h expenditure, Latshaw lias been arrested and an investigation ordered, but at the best the Government will lose over §L70,000. Is this the only case? No! in nearly every depart meat like robbery and swindling are going onl The Government is out o( more money daily than would defray the ex . pensea of it per day in ordinary times. There • 10 where the secret, lies with these 6 »vorn- ment robbers; continue the war and you keep •« open the chances for defrauding the Govern- Jhent. The moment The- war ceases their speculation ia all over. As a general thing these are the men who, cry war, no compro mise, but ft vigorous prosecution of the Re bellion. They also favor confiscation (that \A in their line) emancipation, conscription and' taxation. Any scheme that is calculated to prolong the rebellion they will endorse and Swear to it as tfco only measure by which this war may bo brought to a speedy tormi , nation. If ever 11 1 ore Was n ti.mr in our history which demanded from the people of I’onn sylvauiu the exercise of enlightened reason and exalted patriotism) the present is that period. The drdimii'y issues of a Stale can vass sinlt into insignificance When compared to the 'consequences dependent on the result of the approaching October olection. It will determine by what principles and on tier what rulers the government of Penjisylvlinia shall he administered for the ensuing three yedrs. More than that—it. will exorcise an important influence on the .public opinion of other Slates, and possibly on the destinies of the nation. Thus believing, wo appeal to the people’s intelligence. • Decide, then, freemen of Cumberland coun ty, whether you will adhere to a party, the leaders of which, ruthlessly trample upon the must sacred guarantees of Liberty, or whether you. will support the National Democracy in their efforts to arrest the progress of a despot ism which threatens to subvort'overy'vestige of freedom that yet remains in the American confederacy. Decide, as far as your 'votes can determine the question, whether the internecine war which' now desolates, our. unhappy country, shall be waged for tho preservation of that Constitution, and the res toration of that Union, -which your fathers ordained ; or whether it shall bo conducted in a spirit of fanaticism', which abhors and rejects alike the dictates of humanity and , the usages of.civilized nations, with ho other objects than the emancipation of four millions of negro slaves of lbs -South, and the estab lishment Ofn'consolidated military despotism in the North. Democrats should go to work with a will and determination. They should have butene thought, one mind, ono resolve,; and that resolve the success of the Demo'erat- : io ticket, and the .repulse of -those buzzards and miscreants who are’ trying to erect a monarchy -upon the crumbling fabric "of-a mco glorious Union. We t,re engaged in ii -great and mighty struggle—engaged in an effort to regain our lawful rights aud constitutional -freedom,— Wo are to grapple with ns-desperate a set of scoundrels ns ever trod tho green earth ; we are to contend with those who have become bloated and insolent, on ill-gotten gains. AVo are to tight the Abolition disunion party (how appropriate the name !)—a party that has abolished the Constitution of the United States; abolished the habeas corpus-; abol ished the right of trial by jury ; abolished gold and silver-coiu-from our midst; abolished low prices for all articles of domestic use; abolished the lives of three hundred thousand ■bravo young men ; abolished pence and se curity throughout tho country ; abolished the good feeling entertained fur us by foreign nations; in fine, this party of infamy, per jury, fraud and, theft lias abolished about all it can abolish, ami the.people must non-abol ish it, ifjlrey desire to regain their liberties and jive ns freemen should live. The nomination of Curtin by the African- Repuhlican-Abolition party, was ail insult to the intelligence of the people—nn insult that will be resented'at tho polls by a majority unparalleled ■in our history as a. State.— What! ask the honest people to support Andrew G. Curtin —a'man who riots in corruption-, and who has been denounced by the leading men of his own party as a "sot,” a "shoddy contractor,” a " plunderer,” ■‘speculator,” “ robber of the soldiers,” “ who approved a Bill acknowledged by him to ho wrong, and which robbed the Treasury of many millions of money.” Ask the people to support such a man in opposition to that pure, upright, patriotic, groat man, 'C'eoruu W. Woodward ! The men who would ask the people to thus stultify themselves, have no friendship for either the State or tho na tion. Those who aro willing to endorse a “ plunderer and speculator,” may prattle their “ loyal” .talk till doomsday, biltthey cannot again deceive the people of Pennsyh vitnla. -Tho yeomanry of this State, have sworn in their hearts that the men who have become fat on contracts and blood and treason must go down in October. They intend to speak through the ballot-box in a voice that will produce ,a thrill of joy throughout tho North, and send Blaeksmikos “hissing to their holes.” Mark it 1 Tliaddcus Stevens on tiic Conscription law. ■ The Lancaster Express publishes tho tal lowing opinion of Hoi). Thaddous, Stevens, in regard to the effect of the payment of tho S3OO commutation by a dralted man, which sets forth the laic of the casein so clear a light that wo catVno'tsoe why there should he any-conflict of opinion on that point. The conclusion arrived pt is not only law but it is common sense ; and laws ought certainly lo he constructed in accordance with common sense Lancaster, Ang. 27, 1803 Bon. Thaddeus Stecens: Dear Sir : Different decisions have been made under the 13th. Section of the “Act for Enrolling and-Dulling out the National For res,” as to the effect of the payment of the 8300 commutation ; in the uncertainty so caused, may I ask .you for your opinion as to what the law of the case is ; What is the effect of the payment of the S3OO commutation, a'h-d for what length of time does such payment exempt the persons paying ? Dear Sib : In answer to your inquiry, my opinion is that the payment of the S3OO commutation arid the furnishing a substitute have precisely the same effect. Either of them frees the drafted man from further draft for three years, lie is in eifee't in service, either by himself or another. The payment of S>!00 makes the Government Ills agent fo procure a substitute. The Government has consented to act ns such agent. .The law says he may ‘‘on or before the day fixed for his appearance furnish an acceptable substi tute, or pay such sum nut exceeding S3OO for the procuration of such.substitute, and there upon the person fnrnisliingjthe substitute, or pni/iny the money t ahull VVo'diaohargerl from further liability under that draft.*’ No one doubts that furnishing a substitute excuses for three years. To give n different effect to the payment of the commutation seems to me little.leas than an absurdity. It is a very misehiovous misconstruction, which, if need bo, I have no doubt. Congress will correct. TUADDEUS STEVENS. 1 Ed. Heidey. Esq. The Buffalo Eaprsss says that nineteen substitutes from that coy escaped on Friday night on the way to Elmira.

It IF The liubbers Triumphant—The People Swin dled, and the Slate Plundered. ‘‘We record with shame and unfeigned sor row, that our State Legislature, on Saturday last, passed through the lower Huusft a bill’ releasing the mortgage of tho State on the Suubury Erie Railroad; and also, a bill for tho repeal of the Tommgo Tax on tho Pennsylvania Railroad. By these acts the State, is plundered of fifteen millions of dol lars, and burthens to that extent fastened on tho nocks ol the tax payers of the Common wealth, for tho benefit of soulless’ corpora tions. . These results wore brought about‘by the demoralization of both parties in the Legislature, for we find on examining the vote, that of the seventy-two members who voted for the Suubury and Erie bill, twenty 1 of then wore Democrats ; and'of tho twenty live who voted against it, but nine wore Democrats—that of the sixty who voted Tor the hill repealing the Tonnage Tax, fourteen were Democrats. Had these fourteen voted against tho bill, along with the thirty-eight \vito did, it would have defeated the scheme; handsomely. This shows that lljovoto, was not a party one, and that tho hills were car riod through by means of other instrumen talities. Wo observe with pride and satis faction thntonr'own member, Win. 15. Irwin, Esq., voted steadily against both hills, thus redeeming manfully .his pledges and his duty. For those ■ acts ho will he honored by his constituents, and reap a rich reward in their hearty approval. But, Win, Lnuther, ol Per ry cq., does not stand on tho same platform. Ho has betrayed our interests, misrepresent ed our wishes, and forfeited (lie confidence,, reposed in him.- Had , our people believed ' him capable of castiiqksooh votes, they would have repudiated him almost unanimously .j Indeed we most sincerely believe he could •not have Commanded one hundred votes in, the county, had he been suspected of favor ing these plundoringsohcmca. We ourselves would have voted against him and denounced him as an enemy, and unlit to be trusted,— How hoteau explain his course we know not. and will await anxiously his explanation.—, Ho whs'understood to bo strongly opposed to those acts, and was covered over with pledges to resist their passage. All. these pledges have-been falsified—all his friends have been put to slmrilo, and all out interests, standing and. prospects darkened and jeoparded by his. unfaithfulness. Now, and here, for all our. people, and speaking for them, we do nounec.the act.-ns,criminal, treacherous and dishonest, and stamp them with ingratitude, and infamy. Wo use these strong terms,, because wo cannot permit ourselves, or the party to which we belong, to he complicated with these acts, or subjected to tho suspicion of sanctioning them. Let him resign, and give tip the trust he has betrayed—so that the people tnay have an opportunity to ex press- their detestation of the acts.” Tho above article appeared in the editorial columns Of the Carlisle American (an Aboli tion organ in this county.) on tho ‘2oth of February, ISGI. We desire tho people of' Cumberland county to road tho article care fully, and .in doing so, let thorn remember at the same time that Gov. Curtin signed tho bill repealing theToiiuage Tax, thus making it a law, and by this act (to use the language of the American.) "the people were swijt deed and the State pi.unue red.” Accor ding to the conclusion the America n arrived .at at that time, by this act- of Curtis's the State was “ plundered of fifteen millions of dollars, and burthens to that extent fastened on the necks of the tax-payers of tho Coninionwealih fur the benefit of soulless corporations 1" The American, it will be seen, was severe on Mr. Loutuer (then a Republican member of the House from this district,) for having supported the “ great swindle.” By voting as he did ho “ betrayed our interests, misrep resented our wishes, and forfeited the oonli dence reposed in him and “ had our people believed him capable of casting snub votes, they would have repudiated him almost unanimously,”- “Ho could not have .com manded one hundred votes in tho county, had, he been suspected of favoring those plunder ing schemes.”- ' So said the American. ' Nay more, the editor of that paper speaks person ally for himself, and says that he " would have voted against him, denounced , him as an enemy, and unfit to he trusted.” Again, lie denounces Luuther’s votes and course “ as criminttl, treacherous and dishonest, and stamps them with ingratitude and iiifamy.” Now, voters of'Cumbcrland county, recol lect that Curtin approved of Louther’s course, find after tho Bill hail passed both Houses he signed it and made it a law. If Lodtiier was guilty of " ingratitude and in famy,” what must be'thought of Curtin, who had it in his power to strangle the hill after it had passed the two Houses? The Ameri can has said that if it had known that Loutii , er intended to support the measure, the editor himself would have "voted against ~' him and denounced him as an enemy.” And , yet Curtin, by whose signature the Bill was , made a law, and who was a thousand times t more culpable than Loutiier, is now sup , ported by this same • Amerietm, and his j " treacherous and dishonest” name appears ,at its editorial head 1 How dare the Ameri ’ can thus not? How dare it thus insult its own readers? And, as if in mockery of its readers’ intelligence, it contains an article in its last issue, in which it eulogises the “ economy of the State administration !” Oh, what miserable, infernal hypocrisy! What a yielding to the mandates of a corrupt par ty is here exhibited ? People of Cumberland county, vre askyru again to road the article wo quote from tire American above, and then compare the pres ent sentiments of its editor with those he expressed on the 20th of February, 18G1.— Can you he led by such a paper ? Can you support a man for Governor who'favored the “plundering schemes” so justly denounced by one of your own county organs? If you can, it will be evidence of your own degra dation—evidence that you are willing to en dorse a “ dishnneat and infamous” man, merely because ho is your nominee for Gov ernor. Your votes at tire election will decide wliel her or not you favor honesty mid State prosperity, over party and party Chicanery. More anon.
