GOVERNOR CURTIN
311EINIT
On the 80th of May, 1861, the
Lebanon Courier, the Abolition
- organ of this county, contained the
fisHowing article, denunciatory of
Governor Curtin and the outrages
upon our soldiers. Is it not as
tounding that, notwithstanding the
denunciations then expressed a
gainst Governor Curtin by a paper
that had aided in his election, it
should now be one of the staunchest;
advocates of the same Man,63and
stop at nothing to 'induce the reeo-'
ple to vote for him and maintain'
him in a position which he disgra.,
ces. It may not•be improper to
state that• shortly after this scathe
ing rebuke of 'Gov. Curtin,'.the
Courier comnieuced to "draw it its
horns," as the saying is; and by
the tithe its editor — ivies appointed
Superintendent of State Printing
by Govt - Curtin it was ready, not
withstnndiug that "its 'own confi
',deuce in Gov. Curtin was not un
bounded," to shout hosannas to
him and aid his nomination• and
election. Was that office the Milk
in the cocoa-nut that . effected the
•change ?
[Prom the Lebanon Courier, of May 30, 1861.]
GREAT WRONGS AGAINST OUR SOLDIERS
AND OUR STATE.
It is with much regret that we feel
impelled, by a duty we owe our sol
diers, our State and integrity, to di
vert attention from the great object
on which the eye and the heart of
every patriot is now fixed—the vindi.
cation of our nationality-rand refer
to villainies
, which are outrages upon
our soldiers and which east reproach,
and shame upon our Commonwealth.
A glorious patriotigm'has been kin
dled in the hearts of theyeople of this
State by assaults from 'treason upon
the integrity of our g►bvernment; and
they are ready to make any sacrifices
and endure any privations necessary
for the vindication of governmental
supremacy;, but amid these virtuous
and loyal 'feelings' 'come creeping in
with all the sinuosity and slime of the
ever accursed serpent, from wicked
mercenaries; thdlbfernal lust - for gain
and the mean deterrilination to plan•
der. 'The most sadred 'cause that ever
erilisted 'the fealty of - men — Most be
used by black•hearted scbundrels and
thieves' terfill thdir .purses,' though it
be done by robbing the poor soldier
who Offers his life in his country's de
fence.
A few words of explanation will be
necessary.to enlighten.our readers on
the f ,great wrongs that have been com
mitted against our soldiers, and
against our State. Our State Legis
lature made the most liberal provi
siona for equipping and putting in the
field, a mi.litar T force that would hon
or citie;Comitionweelth; .anethe men
ey tor'this.pyrpolse w - asylaged at the
dfsposal •of Governor Cuitin. The
natural . deducticrn 'from'these facts
would be r thatrweirave - kuch 'forbe
in :service. 'Rut such 'is not•the CaSe.
It is true, we have as gallant and' true
men in the field as volunteers as ever
Went forth to battle; but their condi
tiOn 'makes them objects .of pity, to
their friends and derision for their
enemies. Instead of being equipped,
like soldiers from other States, they
have been provided with clothing . fit•
only for criminals and paupers,. and
whiCh affords them but little ,proiec.
tion against the 'weather --and not.
much more 'against Visotatiorts of
decency. Theft ruhiferma i'seem
.have beetl - made-of the Cbeapest and.
Froesnest - Stuff that cduld be 'obtained,
'arid got tip i n style 'Oft would
scarcely allow-tbeat to'holdtoi , etlie r .
until they were put on. 'With ts a few .
days' Weer, these' uniform§ go , to pie
ces; and
.0/r biave soldiers have - been
compelled tolistenito such reflection's
Upon' thein me; "there are some of the
ragged f . N . npilylvarlittns." The over
coats furniShed,' we 'ere infOrrned on
reliab4e tulthority, 'were of 'as many
colors as the coat of Joseph, and if
put on by our men "would have made
them look'more likeet procession of an
assemblage of circus clowns than a
body of armed troops. These over
.coats they positively refused to re.
ceive. The uniforms provided for
them, we are assured, could be bought
for two and a half dollars "each, yet
tic soldiers were charged sonie seven•
teen dollars each for them—all this
difference going into the 'hands of
plundering contractors and their * ac.
complies& The clothing swindle ex
tended, it seems, in a sotnevihat mod.
ified form to provisions, and the State
has been made suffer to a large
amount by improper contracts for ra.
tions, &c.
That . fhese outrages should arouse the
deepest indignation among all honest pee
pie cognizant of them; may well be ima.
gined; and a demand:is breaking out for
an exposure 'and punishment of the
`guilty parties 'that shall at once be a just
retribution on - them and a terror to others
who may contemplate like rascalities.
But the question is asked, who is guilty?
We answer—upon ,Gov. Curtin must
rest the responsibility unless he can show
that he has been betrayed and deceived
by men in whom he has placed confi
dence ; and unless he will aid in bringing
them to punishment, he must bear the
shame and take the responsibility. We
have before felt that Gov. Curtin was
surrounded by bad influences. Many of
his confidantes have been men for whose
integrity we had no respect, and who
have shown themselves willing to join
any party where they could carry out
their selfish and dishonorable purposes;
and as men are very properly judged by
their associations, our confidence in our
GoVernor has not been unbounded.
It may be, thought that we should not
thus speak of men who profess to belong
to the party which we uphold and whose
principles ice advocate: We reply—that
as the cotiier.strine - of our party is inter"
rity it, office-holders, we recognize no
man as lAbngibg to it whb has violated
this fundamental plank in our faith ; and
we cartider the scoundrels who have
robbhd the soldiers, as outside of the
pale of our party, let them call themselves
what they may, and shall treat them as
political enemies now and forever. Bad
men must not he allowed to use party
organizations to shield them from the ex
posure and punidiment to which their
evil deeds justly subject them ; and upon
a free press rests the duty of sounding
the alarm when the people are wronged
and betrayed. We shall notfail fin doing
our share to tear the livery 'of a virtuous
party from any of its pretending leaders
who letidy the ban flirenee — reposed" in
them; and whb hdve no higher alinalh'an
their 'own 'enrichrrfent and—aggrandize
ment ;. and when 'Wig 'lrldak is . torn off,
we shall call tifYontlfe people to meet out
to . 'the Offen'deri ; the retribution they de.
•Serve,'Llven it ft require an ex post facto
lgbr to "cover their cases.
- The Soldiers
Should remember that among
the most bitter and - abusive ene-
thies that GEN. MeCLELLAN
has in, this State is the Lebanon
Courier. It has left no opportuni
ty unimproved to decry him. It
now wants to curTY-favor with the
friends of McClellan the SOL
DIEPLS—Land induce them to
vote for CURTIN, his deadliest en
•emy. It does not say anything
against McClellan NOW, because
it wants the votes ofhis friends for
Curtin, but it is wellenough to let
the soldiers know what it did say
in its issue of 30th of April, last.—
It then contained the following
article, editorially
Kr' Gen. Hooker's evidence before the
Congressional Coromittea,on the Conduct
of the war, has been published; and is a
most damaging expose of the want of 'ca.
pacity and earnestness of Gen. McClellan.
It goes to show What unprejudiced men
have for months said, that Gen. McClellan
"'at the head of the army, was the wrong
'man foilhe place. Gen. Hooker's test
['molly is:straightforward and frank. In
"speaking of "the 'failure bf the rfeninSula
campaign, he says, - -
"r do nOt'ligitate to
say that it is to be attributed tillthe'waiit
of generalshirt on the part of our'comman.
der," McClellan lost time before York
town, beleaguering a few hundred of the
enemy, '"when he should have marched
right past them; and when our army did
advance, he remained far in the rear,
showing "a great indisposition k to go
forwai-d," although d4pqrtion bf the' army
was,eneaged in a hot 6oriflictat Williams
barg, - geVeral mites id' his advance. This
bktle was fought and won without him ;
and the rebels then.expected an immedi'

thinks we could have gone into the rebel
capital the second . day after that '.l) ; attle
without firing another gun.
Scores of similar article's, abt:-

found in the Courier.

Rempmber that Govanor Curtin
was one of the men that conspired a

That these conspirators ;were in ses

Clellan was fighting the,;
Battle 'of Antietam,
that they were intrigueiag politically
when he was fighting patriotically ;
and that they succeeded in thjir
schemes and bad him removed a few
days after that battle. If they are
frietld's'of McClellan they cannot vote
for .Curtin, his enemy.
i How Soldiers Vote.
We were shown Oletter 'yes

,thatthe Regiment is composedof

It further states
that "nearly all the Pennsylvania

ty of the charge that they are all

no,- A new party has just com e
into existance in this county. It
professes great love of country,
urges a more vigorous prosecution
of the war, and talks a great deal
about fighting for the Union, pa
triotism, copperheads, &c., and then
turns around, tries to raise a fund
of money to bribe men to ita:y at
home to vote for Curtin, Coleman,
Contracts & Co. They/are the ex
empts patriots.
Afbolition Outrages.
The Democrats attempted to
hod. a meeting in Fredericksburg
on Saturday evening last, when it
was so interfered with by the ab
olitionists that it was obliged to
adjourn. The first word that was
said by the speakers was received
with yells from the opposition
which were kept up for some time,
when, finding that they could not
bellow down the speakers, the 3
commenced THROWING STONES.-
The Democrats deserve great cred
it for the patience with which they
bore these outrages, and because
a riot and broken heads was not
the result, is not the, fault of the
abolitionists. They gave sufficient
provocation. The Democrats nev
er disturb their meetings, but we
have scarcely held a meeting this
fall that has not been interfered
with by them. The conduct ofthe
abolitionists is indicative of the
party that assumes to itself all the
"decency, intelligence and loyal
ty" of Lebanon county.

throw that "disloyal" organization,
known as the Abolition party. The
treason "of this organization is so man
ifest that there is scaeely a day passes
by but what we have a demonstration
of their desire to erect upon the ru
ins of a broken Constitution a mili
tary despotism, worse than the Aus
trian yoke of tyranny and oppres
sion. Democrats, whose whole life
has been devoted to the cause of
American liberty, are not secure in
their person or property, and are lia
ble at any moment to be taken fr.orn
their homes, with the object of incar
ceration in some loathsome dungeon.
Abolitionists, whose career is marked
with hostility to our glorious Govern-
Ment, are left undisturbed in their ex
pressions of disloyalty and treason.

every one'lcnisis who is acquainted

The Tonnage 'Fax S' ndle
, Tax-payers of Lebanon county ! you
have an account to settle with Gov. Cur.
tin. The Legislature of this State, in
1861, released by law, the Pennsylvania
Rail Road Comyany from the payment of
Tonnage Tax, which deprived the State
of a just revenue to the amount of some
three hundred thousand dollars a year !
Nay more, at that time the Rail Road
owed the State seven hundred thousand
dollars for the two previous years tax.
The Legislature, in a section of the same
bill repealing the Tonnage Tax, wiped
out this debt ! So by this one act of the
Legislature—which was then composed
of a two-thirds Republican majority in
both Houses—the State sustained a loss
of the Tonnage Tax, then amounting to
$300,000 a year (it would be a million a
year by this time,) and also the $700,000
that was due her !
Gov. Curtin engineered this plundering
Bill throngh the Legislature and placed
his signature to it. Remember these
facts, people of Lebanon, when you go to
vote on the 13th inst.

LOVES LABOR LOST.--TheAliO4-`
tionists had almost every glkusti, -
stable, fence, box and tree in .town.
pasted with electioneering does:-
merits on Saturday last. If they - .
intended to afflict the reading of
them upon their funereal delega
tions it certainly was labor lost, for
they were too cheerless and dis
pirited to engage in the reading of
any such such awful productions.-
OZ Notwithstanding the inclemen- -
cy of the weather a very handsome
meeting was held at the public house
of William Oblwein, in Jackson town-,
ship, on Friday evening last. The_
meeting was addressed by Henry {
Geesey of Myerstown, and William
Carver of Fredericksburg in the Ger. - .
men, and by Hiram P. Seibert, our
candidate for Clerk of the Orphans'
Court, in the English language. The
Democracy of Jackson are fully alive
to the importance of the election of
the Democratic ticket, and will give a
good account of themselves next Tues
day.
Hurrah for Cornwall
The Abolitionists of Cornwall
township brought in a t-r-:e-men

"Mass" Convention on Saturday.-
They had 4 large teams, with 6;
and 8 horses a piece, the whole con--

Our neighbor Dundore closed up
the procession with his HEARSE.
It was a solemn affair. They must
haVe tweak • horses in Cornwall,
when it takes nearly two of them
to drig : -- one Republican to their
meefinks. Cornwall IS a going to

just now ` in this section among a cer

devil'under disguise of clerical robes.
A i•ekaitiPreacher in this county, who
has been shouting for the war to go
on and otAers to go and do the fightingi
while be litinself would stay at home
was drafted last week, and is so far
eonsistant that he is now still unwill
ing to go, and hence is scouring the
county collecting money to pay the
$3OO exemption. He recently made
a speech in Fredericksburg to the in
finite disgust of his hearers. It strikes
us that such canting patriots and ab
olitionists ought either to go and fight
or bold their tongues.

'MR. EDITOR :—I notice in the Cour

basest kind, in which it says the.
"Copperheads " formed an organiza
tion to evade the draft, arid all suCh•
that had paid in their fifty dollars
would be defrauded out of it. I would
say that the Courier forgot to men

an organization of the same kind and
that one of the proprietors of that

getter up of that iTlstitution.

That the first named Club " prom's-

organization got up by their own, as
they returned $5O to one of its meni:
hers, simply because he got draftelt-
