Every borough and township in the Coun

refer to it hereafter. U'e may say, however,
that the gentlemen selected for the various

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.

TIirrUNNA« « TAX It 121* 11A I. 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.

■ Wn cukas, It is customary for the nomina

tliis County, to declare, the political feelings
nnd sentiments of .those whom •they repre*
‘■cut; and whereas, at the present crisis o(
Oiir Natioim'l and'Statc affairs,-it is peculiarly
proper fhht'the voice oPtllb.'-podplfc should-he

Jienalveil. "Khwt the Democracy. of Cumber-r
land County fully approve of and endorse the
resolutions passed at the hue Democratic;
Stale-Convention. held at Harrisburg on.the
17th day of June last, ns follows:
JicsolvaJ , That we again renew our vows,
of fidelity to the 'Gonstiuitum of the United
States, tlip great charter for‘which our.fath
ers struggled and fought,' and which ;was
established, as they' themselves expressed it,
“to.form a more perfect Union, -establish;
justice, ensure .domestic tranquility, provide
■for the,common defense, promote thc general
welfare; and secure, the blessings ot
ro themselves.and posterity.” •• .
Jtesolml, That inasmuch as the Constitu
tion embodies the only .guarantees we have
for public Uhbrty ‘anti-private’ right, fis with
out it we can have no 1 hope of protection from
bloodshed, spoliation and
who sneers at,** the Constitution as it is
prows himself to bo deficient in the-first ele
ments of. patriotism ; and .any officer of the
Statmor Federal Govornmontwho swears to
support tl>o-..Constitution*, and. afterwards,
with the oath on his conscience, wilfully vi
olates it-,,is^vholly.Unworthy of public confi
dence. ‘ • ■
Uc.solvcd % That among the'rigbts which the
Constitution provides to every- citizen, is that
of being'secure. in his life, liberty, and prop .
erty, so that ho cannot be deprived of cither
without duo process oi law, a fair-trial hy a
competent judge and jury of- his neighbors,
whir witnesses to confront him and-counscl
ti) defend him. . This is so Just in itself, so
necessary to the hupp ness of the '.people lor
whom all government is made,; and sit plainly
written down in the Federal Constitution and
in all thp.State Constitutions, that any person
who can misundcM-stand it, lias not, in our,
opinion, the ‘which fits him
lor a public station* . • '
Resolved, Thatwo have hoard with intense
alarm and deep-indignation that some of our
political opponents claim fur the Presidentof

in,America and never exorcised in Europe or
Asia, except by t .o must despotic monarehs,
namely: the power to arrest tree citizens for.
the expression of their honest opinions on
public affairs ;■ and that tho'Preside.nt has not
(»nly presumed to exorcise this power himsell
with the moderation ami. mercy which his
own nature might prompt, hut has delegated
it to many subordinates, and they again to
others in every part, of tlieciuntry,.until its,
hideous presence is seen and felt,all over the

and therefore wo. are not surprised to learn
that the. worthiest m'Cn-’have been torn ’fnmv
their families, judges_ knocked.dmv.n on tho
bench, ministpVs of.the Gospel imprisoned in
loath some dungeons,’ and respectable women
treated with a brutality which.it would be in
decent even to name—and all this, in tnany

coming terms upon the people and the con

in our Judgment, he most likely to place and
kefip tiio whole nation and Onion together
under one federal government.
JtiHo/ved, That when this war began wo
had Hie solemn pledge of the lederal admin

by Congress on July 22,1, ISdl, that it “ is
not waged on their part in any spirit of op

maintain the- supremacy of the Constitution
and to preserve lie Union, with all the dig
nity. equality.and rights of the several States
unimpaired ; and that as soon as these ob
jects arc accomplished the war ought to
cease.’,' But the federal administration, ac
ting under the influence of a small faction of
ultra Abolitionists, always opposed to the
Onion and without the consent of the great
mass of the people, hits totally changed its
ground, avowing and proclaiming Us .purpose
to he wholly different, and.Ums it basgreatly
allayed our just hope of peace.
h Vw#/r«f, That jilVpoyvor in this country is
inherited in the white nice ; that this govern

and Unit the efforts now ‘being made Ijy tho
tiholiitonists and countenanced by tho-Ad
ministration of Abraham Lincoln to cihange
the relative status of the superior white, and
the inferior black races, and render then*
politically and socially equal, deserves the’
condemnation of oycry while man in the land.
