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:

upon his solerilri oath Says, that I-'(Walton)
belonged to the army of the United States;

eighteen months, which I served. .. On tdy
way home to Carlisle, I lost forty-five dollars
in Baltimore, and had money, enough left to
bring me to Harrisburg, Pa. 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;

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.

Tbo above resolution was unanimously ad

any one doubts this wo refer him to tbo files
of tbo Herald or American of Sept. 11 N lBOl.
Now Republicans of Cumberland county, you
have Renounced tbo Bill repealing the Ton

Qov. Curtin made that bill a lav). , lie had
it in his power to prevent the Bill becoming
a law ; be was pledged before the people to

I wish to place the blame upon, the proper

God gives the lightning to men,-’ and Alp

rights which they cannotr
they cannot pqrchntje. The appearance of
this vast.ns3eiq|dage reassures me of that.
It is but the counterpart of what I .have seen
