ONE WAY OF LOOKING AT IT I thought you always knew it well (Although indeed you never said so)- 1 thought you knew I dared not tell, And that was why you toas'd your head so; For 1 have often heard you say Yon hate to see a fellow sighing, To hear him stammer all the day, And hint mysteriously at dying. And if I have adored you so, I thought you knew I couldn't help it ; I could no more escape my woe Than Joseph could his empty well-pit. It wasn't fair of you at all : You moved so light and play'd so neatly, And set your foot upon the ball, And croquet'd me, I know, completely ! Why did you let me look such things, And whisper o'er our melting ices, if with you only brings • This most objectionable crisis! I wish 1 had not loved, for then Perhaps you would not be offended, Nor fling me back my heart again, Nor tell me thus that all is ended: Oh, yes! Sir John's a charming catch— ilis stud, his balance at his banker's, Unlike himself, are hard to match; And I have but one horse at Spanker's! He will not house you in some den, Served by a footman single-banded— He has such store of maids and men An your position, love, demanded; And so, I quite approve your choice ; I won't regret my wasted wooing; I'll think your sweet soprano voice Has warn'd me from my own undoing And yet I know, that whoa too late— Just as the spectre came to Priam— You'll learn to rue your splendid fate, And wish yourself as free as I am. THE POLITICAL RECORD ANDREW G. CURTIN, AB FURNISHED BY The Republican Press. A BLACK PAGE IN THE HISTORY OP OUR COUNTRY. GOVERNOR CURTIN. [From the Pittsburg Dispatch, May, 1861 Governor Andrew G. Curtin's Adminis tration is rapidly exhibiting its worthless ness, and sinking to infamy. We are glad to see by the following that the worthy State Attorney General, Hon. S. A. Par viance, late of the 22d Congressional Dis trict, is determined not to share in the dis honor and disgrace. We oopy from the Harrisburg Telegraph of May 24th : RESIGNATION OF GEN. PURVIANCE-. The following letter of resignation was handed to Governor Curtin, to-day : ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, HARRISBURG, May 24, lblil. J To ANDREW G. CUIITIN, GOVernor of Pennsylvania : For reasons which appeal to my self re spect, I cannot consent to continue any longer in connection with your Adminis tration. I therefore tender you my resignation of the office of Attorney General of the State. SAMUEL A. PURVIANCE. That is short, sharp and pithy enough to bring a blush to the Governor's cheek if he is not insensible to shame ; and this is but the beginning. We warn every scoundrel concerned in the plunder-job bing and degrading of our State and its troops, that they may look for no mercy, unless the villaitty be stopped at once. We shall not at present make use of certain knowledge in our possession, but it may be well enough to caution the go-betweens, attorneys and contractors, that no trickery Or lying will serve their purposes, but will make things worse. If they speak at all, let them tell the whole truth. It is proper that the people should now know, however, that the swindling is being systematised, and that it is intended to continue it in all contracts, if possible. We were shown on Monday a sample of the material out of which the uniforms of our State troops is to be made. The Gov ernor's go-betweens, who have large con tracts yet to fill, have made them with men who are now having the material made by one or more manufactories in the east. These goods are to be trash—as the others were. They will be manufactured of the following materials, in the proportion named : Fifty pounds shoddy—old rags and old clothes, picked to pieces and re manufactured—thirty point& wool, and twenty pounds cotton—in each hundred pounds. The sample 4; shoddy" shown us, and procured direct from the manufactory, contains a small proportion of cotton, but it is rotten trash anyhow, and will consti tute one-half the cloth. We leave mer chants to judge of its wear. THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL RESIGNED [From the Pittsburgh Chronicle, May, 1861.) Mr. S. A. Purviance, Governor Curtin's Attorney General, has resigned. In his note to the Governor, announcing his resignation, Mr. P. uses_ the following sig nificant language : c , For reasons which apnecil to my self-respect, I cannot consent to continue any longer in connection with your Administration. I therefore tender you my resignation of the office of Attorney General of the State." We are not in formed yet what these reasons are; but enough is known to state that they arise out of the alleged complicity of the Gov ernor in those scandalous contract trans actions, through which the State has been swindled out of immense sums of money, and our brave volunteers subjected to a series of hardships and inconveniences, )which few but themselves would have had the patience to tolerate. If Governor Curtin, or other high State officials or politicians, have been, or are, in any way involved in speculating on our patriotic volunteers, and disgracing and humiliating the State before the world and her sister States, he and they ought to be swept from their positions by the withering scorn of an indignant and abused Teeple. If they are not guilty, then it is due to themselves, and to the State, whose repu tation is now suffering by multitudinous reports, that they should hunt out the shameful thieves who are fattening on the ors of patriotism, and both expose and punish them. It is absolutely sickening, and to the last,depee mortifying, to read the com ments on-the disgraceful swindling and in eifidemy in rennoylvania, which are how found in the papers of the North and South. The great and wealthy State of Pennsylvania is beginning to be believed the prey of idiots or knaves, and affords a degrading spectacle to the world. All the public asks at present is, when shall these things cease ? The scoundrels must be unearthed, exposed and punished, whether high or low. So much the worse for them if they occupy exalted stations. DAMNING RECORD Governor Curtin—Who he is, and What he is, as portrayed by a Republican Editor. The following article is taken from the Pittsburg Gazette, published on the morn ing of the meeting of the Republican State Convention. The Gazette is the principal organ of the Republican party in Western Pennsylvania. Its statements, therefore, cannot be attributed to partisan prejudice or hatred, nor can they be sue. , cessfully refuted. We never saw a more damning record produced against any pub lic man, and it cannot but tell fearfully against Governor Curtin with the intelli gent, thinking voters of the State. How any honest man can vote for the Republi can candidate for Governor with ,such overwhelming evidence of his corruptibili ty and dishonesty staring them in 'the face—fastened upon him, too, by his own partizans—is more than we can see. -We do not believe they will. But read the article and judge for yourselves : [From the Pittsburg Gazette, August 51 A PARTING WORD TO THE CONVEN- The delegates to the State Convention are now amongst us. Before they proceed to do their duty, we have a word to say to them. • We had reason to believe that Governor Curtin,notwithstanding his ostensible with drawal, was a candidate for renominaticn, and confident that he would be successful. WE FELT ASSURED THAT HE COULD NOT BE ELECTED. WE KNEW THAT HE OUGHT NOT. IT BECAME OUR DUTY, THEREFORE, TO SOUND THE ALARM, AND EN— DEAVOR TO SAVE THE PARTY, IF POSSIBLE. We have endeavored to show that he im posed upon the soldiers, by farming them out to has friends, and then denying that he had employed them. We have exhibited the record to estab lish the fact that he had approved a bill, ackowledged by hem to be wrong, WHICH ROBBED TEIE TREASURY OF MANY MILLIONS OF MONEY ; that as the conditions of his approval, he had taken an agreement for the State, which he ab stracted, and secretly surrendered to the parties who had given—and that when in terrogated by the Legislatnre,he confessed the fact, and offered as his apology, a reason which is shown to have been unt rue. We have demonstrated the fact that he bargained away a Republican United States Senator, for the consideration of an adjourzment, and the discharge of the Committee, appointed to inquire into the means which had been used to procure the passage of that bill. We have charged that he was unfriend ly to the war policy of the Administra tion, and proved it not only by his Message in relation to the arrest of traitors, and his conduct in relation to the draft, but by the character of the men whom he has re tained about him. We have shown that the effect of his policy has been to break down the power of the Republican party of this State, and even those who merely co-operated with him in Legislature, have been placed, al most without exception, under the ban of the people. .fled we have inferred from all this— without referring to other matters— THAT HIS NOMINATION WOULD BE DISGRACEFUL TO THE PARTY AND HIS ELECTION IMPOSSIBLE— as the general desire of Copperheads that we should take him as our candidate proves it to be, in their judgment, as well as ours. .flll this we have been compelled, by the necessities of the case, to do, in order to save the cause from irretrievable ruin.— We would rather have avoided this, if it had been possible. We have kept these things in the back ground, rather than run the risk of crippling the State Ad ministration, or driving it bodily into the embraces of the enemy, to which we feared its tendencies were over-strong already. We thought it wise to make the best of a bad bargain, so long as we could not help ourselves. When the same man was, however, presented anew, as a candidate for aisecond term, it became our duty to speak out before the mischief was enacted, and we have done so, in language as mod erate as the facts would bear. And yet even then we would have rather waived our objections, it it had been possible, and taken the weakest man, and the wickedest of our enemies, than run the risk of dis turbing the harmony of the party, at such a time. It was clear to us, however, that with such a candidate, IT WAS IMPOS SIBLE FOR US TO SUCCEED. We should be beaten, at any rate—a s our past experience has demonstrated—and as it could not make the matter worse, it was worth at least the trouble to endeavor to prevent it. And now we ask the members of the Convention to tell us calmly, whether with the facts before them, as we have proved them to be, there is a constituency in Pennsylvania, that would have recom mended or instructed for him—and whether these facts, depending mainly upon the record, and incontrovertibly, of course, can be now successfully concealed from them ?. We ask them again, who there are among the eminent speakers of this State, who enjoy the confidence of the people, that will venture to meet these issues, with the very record to confound them ? We do not know a man, of any position or force, in this county, at all events, who would not feel himself personally compro mised by undertaking a labor so herculean as this. The question then comes at last, whether there are any of the delegates inclined to the support of Cartin, who would consider a triumph now as more important than a triumph at the election, and a sufficient compensation for a defeat at that time— or would be willing to stake the result upon a doubt ? If it be true, as charged, that he insists on playing the part of the ,dog in the manger, and sacrifices the party, of which, it is said, he claims to be the builder, .to himself, is there any man in the Convention who will allow himself to be used for finch a purpose What is "THAT COUNTRY .18 TRI MOBT PRORPIROUR WHEW LABOR 00XICAND8 TIM OZIATBST REWARD;"-BUORANAR LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1863 to be gained by it for the advantage of anybody but the rebels and their Northern sympathizers? We have stated more than once—and we cannot repeat too often—that whatever may he the opinion of the Convention, and whether right or wrong the feeling against Gov Curtin in this county at least— growing out of his own acts and policy— is so strong that we could no more control it, even if we were so disposed, than we could stem the torrent of the Niagara with our hands. We might ruin ourselves by advocating his election, but we couldn't help him. It is not we who are responsi ble for the existence or origin of that feel ing. We reflect it only, and have but thrown ourselves into the current, which was flowing as rapidly before we under took to fathom or direct it. There were good men here who doubted in 1860 whether he could be trusted, and yet this county gave him a majority of about 6400 votes. Less than a month af terward it gave Lincoln 10,000. With a stronger man than Curtin there should have been 8,000 at least. With an unex ceptionable candidate we are as strong as ever—with Gov. Curtin, we doubt whether it could be carried at all, and those who refleot that his conduct, at the season of 1861, brought in a Democrat even here, at the election which followed, will realize the mischief that suoh a nomination may inflict. It is not this county only, however, in which it is important to make the machine run smooth. There will be like difficulties elsewhere, and particularly in those coun ties where the strength of the Republican party lies. If he should be nominated, it will not be by the votes of those districts which will be expected to elect him. It will be the counties like Berks, we sup pose, that are to be oast as make-weights into the scale. Would it not become them to refleot, that if they want us to do the work they must put us into a condition to run without weights ? Are not even the prejudices of our people--if they choose to call them so—to be consulted ? If they can find a man who is free from objection—and we are in a bad condition, indeed, if they cannot—what is their duty as men—as patriots--as lovers of their country 1 How can they excuse them selves for insisting—for mere pride of self will—on one of the opposite kind, who is known to be unpalatable to any respecta ble section of the party ? We shall gauge their patriotism by the way in which they deal with the difficulty. With men of he roic stamp—men suited to the times—it can prove no serious difficulty at all. WHY CURTIN CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT BE HE-ELECTED. The Pittsburgh Daily Gazette, a day or two before the meeting of the Convention, had the following editorial :` " We have already suggested that we would regard the re-nomination of Gov ernor Curtin as a great calamity to the party and to the country, for the double reason that we should expose ourselves to the imminent risk of a defeat, if we did not even show thereby that we had de served it and that we should render ser vice very doubtful to either by electing him. We now proceed to assign some of the reasons for that opinion. It cannot be disputed, we think, that his administration has proved eminently disastrous to the party which brought him into power. That it has been an unfor tunate one for the State the present con dition of her plundered sinking fund and dilapidated revenues will abundantly at test. It is not clear that it has been a wholesome one for the country. It is but too clear that it has been a damaging one for himself—so damaging that it is more than doubtful whether the Union senti ment, strong as it unquestionably is, would ride over the unfavorable opinion so gen erally entertained of his integrity and wis dom, notwithstanding the more than char itable reserve of the press, which has flung a mantle over his faults, and perhaps en couraged his friends and himself to believe that the history of his administration will continue a sealed book or be forgotten amid the clangor of arms and the strife of the battle field. He came into office less than three years ago with a huge majority, and a'Legisla ture which nearly three-fourths of both branches either were, or claimed to be, Republicans. At the end of one session he had thrown all that majority away. Entrusted with the privilege of expend ing the first appropriation made by the Legislature for the common defence, he gave to his own creatures the power of making contracts, as his private agents, in relation with which they were entirely un familiar, to the great injury of the soldier, who was victimized by their unskillfulness or fraud. This fact was found by a com mittee appointed by himself, under the pressure of a public clamor, which grew oat of the treatment of the volunteers who had assembled at Harrisburg. Those brave young men who had responded so generously to the first call of their coun try, were in rags, with shoddy vestments, shoes whose soles were' stuffed with shav ings, and blankets almost as thin and transparent as a window pane. It was re ported and believed that they had been given over to the tender mercies of a few heartless speculators who were then hov ering about the capital. The officers at Camp Curtin, justly indignant at what they saw, drew up a spirited remonstrance to the Legislature, which was presented to the House, at their instance, by one of, their own members. It was suggested to ' him the propriety of an inquiry as to the nature of the contracts made for supplies, and the names of the agents, through whom they were made, and he offered a resolu tion accordingly. He wished to know, and let the public know, whether it was true that sundry individuals then loitering around the capital, who were pointed out by the tongue of rumor, and known to be entirely unfit for the purpose, had been actually commissioned by fhe Governor, as his agents, to make contracts for the sol diers. One of these individuals was a certain Charles M. Neal, an active ward politician, and Acting Commissioner of Philadelphia who was understood to be an intimate and confidential friend of the Gov ernor. The answer of the Governor ignor ed the fact of his employment, although the record shows that on the very day pre ceding or following his message to the House he had endorsed and approved a contract for clothing made by the identical individual with • the FrOwenfelds of this city, in 'that special capacity. On this con tract Neal was afterwards indicted here, and it was while that indictment was de pending that the Governor felt it necessary, in order to appease the public clamor, or divert it from his own head, to raise a com mittee of his own appointment to inquire into his own conduct. That committee proved very unexpectedly a fair one—so fair that it was deemed prudent to with hold its report from the Legislature at the next ensuing session of that body. It found however, although it passed over the Frow enfold case because it was depending on the Courts—that the soldiers were in rags. With every disposition to deal genty with the Governor, it condemned his appoint ments and the g mode pursued by the gov ernment in making its purchases.' It de clared that the absence of strict supervi sory power had been the cause of much of the mischief that had befallen the State.— It remarked, in observing upon the charac ter of the Governor's agents, g that it could not for a moment be supposed that there were not men in Pennsylvania, whose ser vices could have been oommanded,and who by education and ability were equal to the occasions that had arisen, and that the appointment by an executive, from person al or partizan motives, of incompetent agents to offices of great responsibilities, is at all times, a grave dereliction from duty, never more so than in great public, emer gencies, when the disasters resulting from the igriormace or incompetence of the agents, for whose appointment he is respon sible, will inevitably excite suspicions of fraud, and will return home to the Exec utive in humiliating charges of collusion.' And it closed by observing that they also report in general, as the result of their investigations, that they have found in stances of ignorance, of incompetence, of sharp dealing never praise worthy, and here eminently disgraceful, of bad appoint ments, which, although under the peculiar circumstances of the times to be expected, are none the less to be condemned.' The judicial investigation of the Frowenfeld case having proved a failure, followed as it was by the disappearance of the witness, a new Committee was raised at the next session of the Legislature by which it was found, among other things, that the case ae shown by the absconding witness, who had afterwards returned, was a clear ease of fraudulent complicity between the contractors and Charles M. Neal;' that the olothing furnished to the soldiers could have been afforded at $3,50 less per suit than was given, and yet have left to the contractors a profit of $1,50 ;' that a large portion of it was entirely unfit for the use of soldiers, and much of it fell to pieces in a short time after it was worn by them ;' and that the light of the Frow enfelds was almost conclusive evidence that they, at least, were conscious of having defrauded the State.' Our readers will judge of the quality of this committee when they find them adding, that while the testimony of Murphy seems to excite a strong suspicion against Neal, the testi mony of Neal himself, one of the parties implicated, seems to clear him from all but a great want of judgment in his pur chase, and misapprehension as to his duties,' and that his testimony shows that he did not consider himself bound to in quire either into the actual cost of the goods used or their fitness for the purpose intended.' It is rather surprising that they did not hunt up the Frow,enfelds them selves as witnesses, who would, no doubt, have made a clear case of it for the defend ants. In convicting them alone they for got that the offence charged was one which either involved the complicity of the other party, or did not exist at all, and therefore furnished no occasion for running away. We are informed, however, that the confi dence of the Governor in Neal has been in no wise shaken by the transaction. He still continues to be among his most inti mate and cherished friends. Bat, enough for the present. We shall return to the general subject which we have scarcely yet opened.' THE “INcI,IIIRER" ON OURTIN. Enormous Frauds upon the Gtivernment —Millions of Dollars taken--Prominent Shoddy Politicians under arrest. 0 HARRISBURG, July 30. Considerable excitement has been cre ated here by the discovery of enormous frauds upon the government during the reoent army movement in this region, con sequent upon the rebel raid. The amounts are stated at millions of dollars. A num ber of State politicians have been placed under arrest, and the subject will receive the most searching investigation by the War Department. The most corrupt practices have prevailed in horse contracts, and in clothing and subsitenoe supplies. They throw the shoddy " operations at Harrisburg, in the summer of 1861, entire ly in the shade:. Many of the same parties are implicated, and the gangs who have infested the State Capitol in the winter have reaped a rich summer harvest. It is a sad commentary that while thousands of brave men rushed to arms to defend the State from invasion, and while the Gover nor was tickling them with honeyed words, his minions and followers were permitted, like. harpies, to deprive them of food and to compel them to make long and weary marches, without even the poor luxury of cretEkers and pork. It is a matter of record that while these contractors were receiving enormous sums, the gallant Philadelphia soldiers were planed on an allowance of a cracker a day for several days together, thanks to,the neglect and corruption of the Executive Department of the State of Pennsylvania.—Philes delphia Inquirer, July 31st, 1863.

Whoever might be late at meeting, at the funeral or anywhere else, they all knew that Mr. Bell would not. Old Mr. SloW waited on the minister to ask him why he was always in such a great hurry, and so afraid of being too late; • Well, my good friend, I will tell you; and if, after hearing me, you do not think that I am about right in this thing, I will try to alter. When I was a young man, and had been preaching only a few months, I was invited to go to a distant mountain-town and preach to a destitute people. I went for some weeks, and then returned home for a few days, promising to be back, with out fail, the next Sabbath. Well, I had a pleasant week among my kind relatives, and was so much engaged that I hardly thought of my solemn duties till Saturday returned, and then my sister and a beauti ful friend of her's persuaded me to go out a little while in the little white boat Cinde rella, on our beautiful lake. The day was fine, and the Cinderella spun and darted under my oars as if a thing of life. When I got ashore, I found it two e'clook, and I knew the ears started in fifteen minutes. I left the ladies and ran home, caught up my carpet bag, and ran" the depot. I saw the oars had ar rived. I heard the bell ring. With all my strength I ran. I saw them start. • I redoubled my efforts, and got within fifteen feet of the oars ! 0, for thirty seconds more ! Thirty seconds too late ! No more ! That next day was a still, fair, sweet Sab bath. My mountain people gathering, coming down from the glens and following the rills, filled the house of worship. Bat there was no minister ; and the hungry sheep had no shepherd to feed them ! He was thirty seconds too late ! There was a poor, old, blind man who lived four miles from the church, and very seldom could he get to meeting. That day he ate breakfast early, and his little grand-daughter led him all the way down the mountain to the church. How weary, and sad, and disappointed he was ! There was no minister to speak to him. He was thirty seconds too late! ' There was a great gathering of chil dren at the Sabbath School. And their little eyes glistened, for their minister had promised to preach them a little sermon' to-day. But he was not there ; he was thirty seconds too late. There was a sick child up one of the glens of the mountain, and she had been inquiring all the week for her minister. She was so anxious to see him, and have him pray with her. How she hailed the Sabbath, when he would be there ! Bat no ! he was not there. 'That. poor old blind man never came to the church. again. le was too feeble ; and he never heard another sermon or prayer. The minister was thirty seconds too late ! That little girl was dead before I got back; and I could only shed tears over her cold corpse! I had been thirty see onds too late ! On my banded knees I asked God's for giveness, and promised him that, if possi ble, I would never be thirty seconds too late, again ! And now, Mr. Slow, um I not about right in my punctuality ?'

The restoration of that party—the party of the Constitu tion and the Union—to power, in the legislative and ezecu. tive governmental branches of the States and of the Union, we believe to be necessary to avert anarchy, and the utter ruin of the Republic. To contribute to that restoration will be our highest aim. The News, Literary, Commercial, and other departments, will receive due attention, and will be so conducted as to make "Tim dos" worthy of the support of the general reader. air The many difficulties now surrounding an enter prise of the magnitude of that In which the undersigned are engaged, regaire them to appeal to the public for a generous support, and ask for "Tea Aux" a liberal patron age and extended circulation. The present state of the preparatory arrangements war rants the expectation, that the first number of the Daily will appear before the Mose of the coming month, (Febru ary, 1863.) The Weekly will be leaned soon thereafter. TERMS.: Per annum,., Pis Months,... Three Months, Copies delivered at the counter, and to Agents and Car riers 2 Cents each. Per annum,. Six Months,...
