WOOD-WARD AND CIVIL LIBERTY VERSUS .ND KIDNAPPING! CURTIN,. Wuy DOn’the Sion It?—The shoddy can didate, Curtin, recommended the passage of a law to prevent the payment of laborers at ■ iron works, &0., in store orders* The law was passed. The manufacturers came down upon him and threatened him with thoir op position if ho signed it and made it a law. The Governor’s knees got weak before thoir. power and he has refused thus for to do this act of justice for the working man. Work ing men tan you Vote for Andrew G. Curtin? WOODWARD AND WISDOM AGAINST CURTIN,.AND CONSCRIPTION, Curtin's Treatment of a .Wounded The following affidavit of our bravo young townsman, Mr. William Walton, who served faithfully in the army of the Potomac for a year and a-half, and who was honorably dis charged on account of a severe wound ho received in battle, will bo road with indigna tion by patriotic men of all parties, and par ticularly by our bravo soldiers who have been falsely told" that Shoddy Curtin 'is the “'sol dior’s friend.” This poor young man, whrt had boon robbed of his hard earned , money by some intensely “ loyal” thief in'Baltimpro, arrived in Harrisburg, wounded, penniless and hungry, and so sick that ho was'sbardely able to walk on crutches. lie made his way to the Executive Department, to appeal to the so-called “soldier’s friend” for assistance. All the aid ho asked, and which he Was en titled to receive, was “ transportation home.” Curtin ORDERED TUB WOUNDED SOL DIER FROM HIS OFFICE, called him a “ loafer,” and said to him “if you want to go home, go on the freight train !” We have heretofore said that Curtin was a cold-blooded, unfeeling man—a selfish, cal culating plotter—who is now attempting to use the .soldier for a stepping atone to power and plunder; but wo did not suppose that ho or any other man could bo so heart less ns to treat a wounded soldier as he treated our respected young townsman. Had Walton been a black soldier—“ an Ameri can citizen of African descent”—or had ho been a shoddy contractor, or a “ loyal” thief, the favor he asked would have been cheer fully granted; but ho is a white man, and therefore left the Executive chamber bran ded by Gov. Curtin “ a loafer.” And this is the Curtin who is paraded before the peo ple as the “ soldier’s friend!” Hois about such a friend as the wolf is to the lamb. — But to the affidavit of Mr. Walton: zm** m K-S-S?* Cumberland County, ss.

I called on Andrew G. Curtin, Governor of the State of Pennsylvania, with tny discharge, to get transportation homo to Carlise. When I laid in my complaint to Andrew G. Curtin, he said "gel out of my ojjtce; I want no loafing here; if you want to go home, go oh the freight train,” and then I went to Bridgeport, and my brother gave me money to go home; WILLIAM WALTON. Sworn before me the 3d day of October, 1803. M. HOLCOMB, , ■ J. P. O” Mr. Lemuel Todd has “a way of his own" to get out of a scrape. Having assert ed in a speech at Mount Holly, that a certain Judge Hall or Hale htid said that in a con versation with Judge Woodward, the latter had avowed himself a “ believer in the doc trine of .secession,” and this slander having been branded by Judge Woodward himself as a base calumny, Mr. Todd now attempts to screen himself' hy a- tamo nn-A I-itiio ex planation. In doing so, however, ho not only confesses his own mistake, but exhibits a great want of candor and fair dealing. He now admits that “ Judge Hall" is a myth, and gives the name of Hon. Hendrick B. W right as the author of the falsehood related by him at Mount Holly! Acoording to Mr.' Todd’s explanation, Mr. Wright had said, that he had been told by somebody that somebody else had told Judge Hale that somebody had told / Judge Linn that he had heard somebody' say that ho had been told that Judge Woodward had mentioned before somebody that he (Woodward,) had avowed himself “ a believer in the doctrine of seces sion, F' This is Mr, Todd’s explanation of his Mount Holly story ! We can prove bjl a dozen of Republicans who heard his speech, that he did hot mention the name of liif. Wright at all. We may mention also that Mr. Wright is a zealous supporter of Judge Woodward, and for weeks has been on the stump urging- the people to vote for him. ff wo had room we would publish Col. Wright’s great speech delivered recently at Wilkes barre. In that speech ho spoke of Judge Woodward In exalted terms, and urged the people, as they “ valued their interests arid honor, not to touch so unclean a man as AnU 1 . G. Curtin, the shoddy candidate." Such 1 being Col. WrigiiV’s position, it is not’ very likely that he would 1 circulate a vile slander against his own candidate for Governor.— Mr. Todd was unfortunate in attempting to make Col. Wright tho father of ari infamous fabrication. Col. Wright being a Wood ward man, is evidence of itself that Mr. Todd’s attempt to get out of (C sc trip b u has only sunk him deeper in the mire.
