Beware of Falsehoods. We caution the public against the false and slanderous reports, of every conceivable form, which are being circulated against the Democratic party and its candidate for Governor. The Abolitionists, in their despera tion, will stop at nothing to deceive the people. Believe nothing that you hear from the Opposition, but go to the polls and deposite your votes for those pure men and incor ruptible statesmen and patriots, GEORGE W. WOODWARD and WALTER H. LOWRIE, and the whole Demo cratic County ticket from top to bottom. Last Dodge ! The Abolitionists are trying to bolster up their sinking cause by circulating reports that prominent Democrats in different sections of the State have come out for CURTIN. Not a word of truth in any of these reports. Col. Hambright. If the Republicans are such friends of the soldier as they would fain make the people believe, and as they talk so flippantly of the duty of ignoring party politics at the present time, we presume they will all vote for the gallant and patriotic HAMBRIGHT, now suffering from a wound received in the recent great battle in Georgia. He is far superior in every respect--in character and qualifications--to the stay-at-home candidate in opposition to him, and we therefore take it for granted that they will practice what they profess when they come to vote for Sheriff. We i3hall see. lir Let, every citizen remember that a vote for Judge WOODWARD is a vote for his own personal liberty, afety and security. " Neither Secession nor the Malig nant Fanaticism that caused it will ever find an advocate in me."—GEORGE W. WOODWARD. The above noble sentiment of the Democratic candidate for Governor will find a hearty response in the breast of, every Arne patriot and con servativetitizeit in PennsYlvania.--- Opposed alike to the Secession trai tors of the South and the Abolition traitors of the North, Judge WOOD WARD plants himself_ upon the Con stitution, which is the only ark of safety in these perilous times for our beloved Union. Should this price less legacy of our fathers be ignored and trampled under foot, as is now be ing done by the Abolitionists of the North and their allies in the South, we can have no Union—no free Government----but must, from the very nature of things, degenerate into mere subjects of a despotism, and become the veriest slaves of some future tyrant and usurper. The Constitution and the Union is the sentiment entertained and ut tered by our noble standard-bearer, and is the watchword of the Demo cratic party everywhere throughout the loyal States. Upon this broad platform all conservative citizens stand, and, to use the language of one of the patriots of the Revolu tion, " sink or swim, survive or per ish " in this struggle for liberty, they will never surrender to the enemies of their ancient and long cherished faith, but will prove them selves worthy of the invaluable boon handed down from the fathers and entrusted to their care. Look at it, Fellow Citizens. If General MEADE had had the 50,000 men employed in Pennsyl vania, New York and New England in " enforcing the conscription," he could have taken Richmond bfore this time, instead of being kept back to cover Washington from a Rebel invasion. All accounts agree that a large portion of LEE'S army was sent to aid BRAGG, and that but few troops were left for the defence of Richmond. If MEADE had had the troops scattered over the above mentioned States, his army would have beeh twice as large as LEE'S, and nothing could have prevented the capture of the Rebel capital. So, if ROSECRANS had had the tens of thousands of soldiers scattered over Ohio, Indiana and other West ern States engaged in miserable po litical work, he would not have been defeated by BRAGG in the recent ter rible battle near Chattanooga. On the contrary, he could easily have driven the rebel army before him even to the Gulf of Mexico. But a party victory in a State election- is regarded by the Government as of vastly more importance than a vic tory in the battle-fields. They look more to the overthrow of the -Demo cratic party than to the overthrow of the rebellion. We submit these facts to the can did reader, and ask him if it is not so ? Look at it, Tax-Payers • The Pittsburg Post has taken the trouble of making an estimate of the debt of each county in Pennsyl vania, supposing the war debt of the Union at the close of the war, amounts to THREE THOUSAND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, which is altogether probable. The share which will fall to this State, accord ing to the calculation of the Post, will be Five Ilundred Millions—or one sixth. Of this Lancaster coun ty will be saddled with about $20,- 000,000, according to her popula tion, the annual interest of which will be $1,200,000 ! The Post, it will be observed, only estimates the population of the loyal States ; but suppose we take into the account the whole Union, North and South, and estimate the population at thirty millions. Pennsylvania having three millions, would conse quently have to foot one-tenth of the bill, or Three Hundred Millions. Of this sum Lancaster county's share would be Twelve Millions, the annual interest of which would be $720- . 000 I How do the tax-payers of the county like the entertainment to which they are invited by Governor CURTIN and his friends The Draft in the West. The draft is practically abolished in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and New Jersey. Those States have been au thorized, through their Governors, to raise volunteers for the war. In New Jersey and Indiana the work has already commenced. The boun ties offered are large, and more troops will be obtained, it is believed, than if the States had been required to fill their quotas by conscription. Why, we ask, was not the same favor extended to Pennsylvania ? Why was the conscription enforced here, and men unwillingly dragged away from their families to suffer and die upon the battle-fields or in the hospitals ? The answer is at hand. Those States have indepen dent Governors, whilst the Execu tive of Pennsylvania is a mere tool to carry out the edicts of Secretary Stanton. Let the people elect GEORGE W. WOODWARD On Tuesday next, and we shall hear no more' of conscription in this State, but we shall be placed on the same footing with the people of our sister States. Let CURTIN be re-elected and another conscription will follow as certain as day follows night. ZZ''' 600,000 More ! The New York Evening Post, an Administration paper, says that a draft for six hundred thousand more men will be ordered in a very short time, as the last conscription for three hundred thousand has yielded less than 75,000—0 r not one-fourth the number expected from it. The last draft took one out of every three men fit for military duty ; and when the next takes place, it will take the remaining two-thirds ! itEr FRANCIS J. GRITND, Esq., a well-known writer and journalist, and formerly connected with the Philadelphia Age, died suddenly in that city, on Tuesday night last, aged about 60 years. WOODWARD AND CURTIN Since it has become manifest, says the Talley Spirit, that the pure and spotlesiprivate char. aster of Judge WOOD weso,aa well as his public; record, proudly.defied scrutiny and investiga tion, his enemies have endeavored to prejudice the public mind against him by vague insinua tions; of his sympathy with the rebellion. Some have even gene so far as to intimate that, if elected, he would lead Penniiilvania into the arms of the Southern Confederacy. Such abuse and misrepresentation is very common in heated political campaigns ; and while they serve to gratify partisan spleen, fall far short of the mark they were aimed at, and have but little or no effect upon the popu lar verdict. There never was a charge more unfounded than this against Judge Woo). WARD. His whole life brands it as a lie and a slander. Every official act of his, every word uttered in public or private, is animated with the purest reverence for the spirit of our institutions and the deepest solicitude for the welfare of the country. His is not the " loyalty " of the brawling pharisees "who for a pretense make long prayers, and devour widows' houses." He was a firm friend of this Union, when the " shoddy " patriots of the present day were contemptpously de nouncing him us a " union saver." His is not the " loyalty " of the Jacobin who would de stroy all the safeguards of life, liberty and property, and risk everything to the madness of anarchy. He sat in the Convention which formed our Constitution, and knows full well the inestimable value of law and order. His loyalty knows no prince, sovereign or poten tate, but is true alone in its fidelity to the Union of our fathers, and that Constitution which was declared by those who made it to be " the supreme law of the land." In this true loyalty he stands, as Czesar's wife, above suspicion. While there ie no danger that Judge WOOD WARD will letid Pennsylvania into the South ern Confederacy, there really is great danger that under the incompetency and servility of Governor Curtin, the dominions of Jeff. Davis may be extended over our • borders. During his weak and wicked administration, rebel armies have twice entered our State. The first time, the Governor allowed them to leave un molested. At the second invasion, he spent the precious hours, which should have earnest ly been given to preparation for defense, in begging, on banded knees, at the door of the Washington council-chamber, for leave to call out his own militia I Whil3 two neighboring Governors, belonging to the sect of despised and disloyal " Copperheads," who knew their rights and dared maintain them, sent :the cohorts of Democratic. New York and New Jersey to defend the soil of Pennsylvania, her imbecile and loyal Governor was wringing his hands in agony and crying " What shall we do to be saved ?" But what better could we expect from Andrew G. Cur tin? He who suffered free and innocent citi zens of Pennsylvania to be kidnapped by the satraps of the Federal Government, and car ried out of the Commonwealth from hie very presence, is not the.man to keep rebels from coming into it! When be bad proven himself incompetent to protect the interests, rights and liberties of the citizens in these smaller matters, how could we expect that he would be equal to the demands of a great crisis when the interest, safety and dignity of the whole State were threatened ? But a new and better day will dawn when GEORGE W. WOODWARD takes his seat as the Governor of the " free, sovereign and inde pendent State" of Pennsylvania. He helped to make our Constitution and for many years has expounded our laws. He will take care that that Constitution and those laws shall be respected by men in high and low degree—in office as well as out of office—by people in Washington as well as by people everywhere else. Then no military satrap, armed with a despatch from the War Department—no rebel general, armed with instructions from Jeff. Davis, will dare to cross our borders or pollute with his tread the sanctity of our homes. Figures Don't Lie. To show our readers what has been lost to the State through: Gov ernor CURTIN having the Tonnage Tax of $300,000 a year repealed, and the $700,000 which he bestowed to the Pennsylvania Railroad, the following calculation has been made by an esteemed friend. It is very well calculated to startle the tax payers, and we commend it to their special consideration. An annuity of 300 000 dollars a year paid semi annually with interest at six per cent., compounded semlannually, would amount in 10 years to $ 4.099.799 67.3 20 years to 11 324 779.87.8 30 years to 24,521.26451.1 40 years to 46.811,671 50.3 50 years to 88 577.641 34 4 60 years to 163 852,493 85.3 ~ 70 years to 300,055,887.81.0 80 years to 545,469 109.17.2 90 years to 989,207,982.37.8 100 nue to 1,753,314,854.48.8 Compound amount of 700,000 dollars, in terest paid semi-annually at six per cent. per annum, will amount to in 10 years to $ 1,264 277.86.1 20 years to 2,283 426 45.3 30 years to 4,124 122 17.0 40 years to 7,539,957 59.3 50 years to 12,473,290.61.3 60 years to 22.528,150 43.5 70 years to 39,878.878 89 6 80 years to 72,033,775.35 2 90 years to 130,102,153 31.4 100 years to 234,989,548 98.3 $300,000 $1,753 314,854.48.8 7(49,000 234,989,548.98.3 $1,988,304,403.47.1 Air During the last week the in valid soldiers, at the Philadelphia Hospitals and elsewhere, have all been sent home for the purpose of voting for—CuwrlN. We are strong ly inclined to the opinion that many of these brave men will vote (regard less of Abolition dictation) as they please when they go to the polls. Air The Abolitionists will doubt less circulate a report within a day or two of the election that some of our candidates on the County Ticket have declined. Don't believe a word of such stuff, fellow-Democrats. There is not a man on the ticket who will think of declining to run, no not for a single moment. Hon. MOLTON C. ROGERS, formerly a Judge of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, died at Philadelphia, on the 27th ult., in the 78th year of his age. LETTER FROR COL. HARIBRIGHT We have been permitted to make the fol lowing extract of a letter received from this gallant officer to his wife, under date of Sep tember 24 : " In haste I drop you a line to say that I am still among the living. Terrible fighting has taken place, and many thousands have been killed and wounded, Col. Miles is miss ing. The last I saw or - him was on Saturday night, but the darkness prevented us from knowing his fate. My opinion is that he is wounded and a prisoner. * * * Many of my poor fellows have fallen already, but we will still do our duty to our country. The 79th has lost about 140 .officers and men, and it is a miracle that any of us are living after being exposed to such a terrible fire. * * * I have now only 160 men it for duty." EXTRAORDINARY STATEMENTS. We copy the following extract from the speech of James A. Mob'asters, Esq., editor of the New York Freeman's Journal, delivered at the Democratic mass mteting at Hamilton, Ohio, on the 10th ultimo : Certain correspondence that has lately come out between Fernando Wood. of New York, and the President. in which Mr. Wood :warts that he had it froth' responsible and- high sources in the Southern Confederacy, that they were trying if they could not come back and take their places by representatives in Congress at Washington, if an offer of fall amueety was agreed upon ; though whether that is so or not I do not know, as I am not in the confidence of Mr. Wood, and never desire to be. I say, then, I charged it in priiit; and I here charge it by word of mouth,_and am ready to substantiate it by intercepted com munication from the Southern Confederacy, that Mr. Lincoln's administration was made acquainted with the fact, one month before he came, that Alexander H. Stephens was about to visit Washington with power to treat for peace. They had that information by inter cepted correspondence, and the man to whom it was addressed was imprisoned for receiving it. It is or was in the State Department, unless mutilated or destroyed, but the com munication was sent. And therefore I am free to say more. I myself heard before the period that Stephens was reported to have been turned back and not admitted to an audience with the:administration at Washing ton, that he was about to come, and was only arranging the terms with Jeff Davis on which, on the highest patriotic and American grounds, he was to come to Washington and make propositions that would overwhelm the North with astonishment. His plea was this : That they had come to the lowest point ; that now or never they must make friends with the North, make up their quarrel, or the American Union was gone forever, for France was at their doors claiming a close alliance, offensive and defensive, with the Southern Confederacy. Alex. Stephens we know was a gallant, truly patriotic Union man, as true an American and as worthy of the name free man as draws the breath of life on this conti nent. His plea was: We cannot die and leave our names to• posterity as the destroyers of this Union. We must smother our passions ; we must put down our prejudices; forget our wrongs and woes; we must make up this quarrel, for this American Union must be preserved. And with that high patriotic idea, overwhelming Jeff Davis with the obloquy with which history would stamp his name if he resisted, he came with full powers to treat at Washington for the cessation of this war, on the ground of a reasonable. sincere and firm purpose to reconstruct the Union. A CURTIN ORATOR At a CURTIN meeting, held at Harrisburg on Saturday week, BENJAMIN F. BUTLER made a speech, in the course of which he said, " am not for the Union as it was." This Abo lition orator is now traveling through the State, drawing his salary as a Major General, and at the same time receiving his pay from the CURTIN State Committee. He was guilty of such gross misconduct at New Orleans that he was recalled from that department covered with disgrace ; and he remained in obscurity until Mr. WAYNE MCVEAGEI imported him into Pennsylvania to make speeches in behalf of the shoddy candidate for Governor. In the report of the meeting at Harrisburg, it is an nounced that " many ladies" were present. Perhaps it would be well, at this time, to re produce hie infamous and brutal order, issued when he was at the head of military affairs in New Orleans. It reads as follows : " HEADQUARTERS OF THE DEPT OF THE GULF, NEW ORLEANS, May 15, 1862 "As the officers and soldiers of the United States have been subjected to repeated insults from the women, calling themselves ladies,' of New Orleans, in return for the most scru pulous noninterference and courtesy oii our part, it is ordered that hereafter, when any female shall, by word, gesture or movement, insult or show contempt for any officer or pri vate of the United States, she shall be regard ed and held liable to be treated as a woman of the town plying her avocation. By command of " Maj. Gen. BUTLER." This is the man selected by Mr. CURTIN to advocate his claims for re election! One of the CURTIN orators—Mr. ARMSTRONG, of Ly coming—treasonably said in Philadelphia a few weeks ago, that "it is better to lose a bat tle in the field than the election in Pennsylva nia ;" and now we have another of the Gov ernor's friends boldly announcing that " he is not for the Union as it was." Can the free men of Pennsylvania cast their votes for a candidate who stands upon such a platform ? THE INCOME TAX A correspondent of the New York Tribune asks that paper for some information in regard to the Income Tax, and why many have re ceived no notice in regard to it. The Tribune attempts to answer the questions of its corres pondent by saying that the Income Tax is a "novelty in this country, and time is required to adjust and enforce it." We can give a mach better reason than this why the Income Tax is not enforced. The Administration at Washington are holding off until after the election, fearing that it the tax is collected immediately the people will have a too lively appreciation of the blessings of Abolitionism, and be deterred thereby from voting to con tinue a party in power which grinds them to the earth with taxation. Wait until the elec tion is over, and it won't be long until all anxious inquirers are thoroughly satisfied upon the subject of the lucime Tax. The 92d section of the Tax law provides that the Income Tax shall be due and payable on or before the 30th day of June, 1863, and the collector hrrequired to make demand for all sums due and unpaid for thirty days after the 30th of June. Why the several collectors of Internal Revenue have made no attempt to comply with this requirement of the law, is a question which only they and the authorities at Washington can answer. OUR STATE TICKET The following merited tribute to Wocdward and Lowrie is the closing portion of a speech made by the Hon. JAMES CAMPBELL, of Phila delphia, at Scranton, Pa., on the 17th ult. : "The State ticket selected is one worthy of the State and country. To unquestioned ability the candidates unite great integrity. The head of the ticket, our candidate for Gov ernor, lam proud to claim as a friend. You know him as the patriot who preferred a private station to the high office of a Senator of the United States, when it was to be had by subscribing to the doctrine that the term of naturalization should be extended from five to twenty-one years; but,of him, and his un spotted character and great abilities, it is un necessary for me to speak to you, his neigh— bors and friends, among whom he has spent the greater portion of his life. Elect him, and you will have a Governor worthy of our great State. No citizen of Pennsylvania will then hear of his proud old Commonwealth being invaded and disgraced, her towns put under contribution, and her defenceless people plun dered, after she had sent thousands of her sons to the armies, and as many thousands more were ready to die in her defence ; nor need be have any fear that he will then be dragged from his home, from the Capital itself, from the very presence of the Governor, to be immured in the fortresses of adjoining States. The soldier When called into the field will be protected, and the profligate specula tor will not be permitted to traffic on his health and life. Pennsylvania will then become once more a great sovereign State, and not a petty province." WHERE A SOLDIER MAY VOTE In the contested election case of Chase vs. Miller, growing out of the election of 1861, it was decided by the Supreme Court that " The right of a soldier to vote under the Constitution (of Pennsylvania,) is CONFINED TO THE ELECTION DISTRICT WHERE HE RESIDED AT THE TIME OF HIS.ENTERING THE MILITARY SZRYICE." This is the law, and, we trust, due heed will be given to it at the coming election. LOCAL DEPARTMENT. PDX The Democracy of the City are thoroughly and gloriously aroused. We hue never seen each atten .seraceuport and enthusiasm at any meetings, as were wit nessed last week. On Tuesday evening a grand outpouring took place in front of the Humane Engine Honse, Manor street, which was prodded emu by that veteran Deinurat, whllom of this city, Cal.

Joey Wnut and RZINOLDEI, Eeq., in their usual, able sod elo. quentmanner.. After the speeches, a procession was formed under the direction cf Mr. HARRY Scaarrai, as Chief Mar shal, headed by Killian's Dram Corps, and marched to Coleman's and Shrenberger's Saloons Old Factory Road, where addresses were delivered by Mr. D. E. ROBED= in German, and J. W . F. Swur, - Ein ,In Eaglish. While the procersion was moving the welkin rung with cheers for Woodward and the good old cause. '- The meeting In Fulton , HalL on Thursday evening. ear paned any which has been held for years. In that build ing. The Hall was perfectly jammed In every part, and many had to leave who could not obtain admission. The Democratic Central Club met lu front of their Club Boom, Centre Square, at 7 o'clock, and marshaled by Mr. HARRY ECHAIINI, and headed by Killian's Drum Corps, marched up North Queen Street to Chestnut, along Chestnut to Prince, and down Prince to the Hall. They were received with cheers and the waving' of 'kerchiefs all along the route, and their arrival at the Hall was greeted with great entiPlastri. The meeting was organized by the selection of James it. BLINDS, Beg, ee President, WilD, on taking the Chair, made a neat and pertinent little speech He was auleted by a large nilmber of Vies Presidents and Secretaries. The meeting being pre'perly organized, a com mittee, consisting of Messrs. H. B. Smarr, Mayor Sander son, Capt. John Wise, Luke Machine and A. Z itingwalt, was appointed to wait upon lion. Joan K. FINDLAY and JAMES BUCHANAN, Erg , of Philadelphia, the speakers and escort them to the meeting. While the committee was absent, the meeting was entertained with a capital song from the Glee Club. and a few eloquent remarks by COI. JOHN RANKIN, of Williamsport. The arrival of the Com mittee with the speakers was the signal for great enthusi asm and cheering. The name' of Joan Brno Fnuoter is as "familiar as household words" to meet of our city readers. He is recollected as the originator and first Captain of the old Lancaster Feneibles, in its day the finest Volunteer Corps, the United States. He is also recollected as one of our most esteemed and valuable citizens. With a few approyirtate remarks, he was introduced by the President to the audience, which gave him three rousing cheer.. He made a most capital speech, and one which elicited the strictest attention from the beginning to the close. He opened with a beautiful allusion to the earlier scenes of his life in Lancaster, and then passed on to speak of the present sad condition of our country. His remarks on' the course of Mr. Lincoln's Administration, and its lead ing supporters, were dignified, but at thename time scorch.. Ingly severe. He spoke for about an boor and a half, cies n g with a thrilling encomium on. the fidelity, courage and dials wrested ness of the private American soldier. He was frequently Interrupted with the moat enthusiastic cheer ing and applause. Jamie Buckaffsk, Beg , of Philadelphia, followed In a few, able, pointed and eloquent remarks on the present state of affairs, and paid bin respects In an eapeclal man ner to the "Shoddy" candidate for Governor, the so-called "Soldier's Friend," Andrew G. Curtin, whom " htl handled without gloves," showing up hie deep complicity in the repeal of the Tonnage Tar, and his endeavors to screen himself from the odium which has become attached to his name. Mr. B. closed with an eloquent appeal in favor of our noble standard baarera, Messrs. WOODWARD and Low ars.

THE ABOLITION MASS MEETING in OILS City, on Saturday last, was pretty largely attended by beard. less young men, women and children—the two latter classes predominating. And yet, notwithetanding this, and the Immense efforts to get It up, it was on the whole a fizzle. The time selected for the meeting was one of the very beat in the year, and the peculiar circumstances ear rounding this day made it the best. The rain of the pre vious day prevented the farmers from attending to any labor on their farms, and as Saturday is a general holiday with them, of course their sone and daughters come to the city for business and to make purchases. The differ. out delegations made aLe imposing display with their banerdvi,es andmaArobgthe ar l ,e,r we did not observe Mr. Stevens' motto, "The Union as it was, and the Constitution as it is—God forbid!" This is the motto of the Abolition party of Lancaster County, for Thaddeue Stevens says so, and what he says is law and gospel with them. Therefore they should not he ashamed to carry the motto on their banners. ft is decidedly more appropriate than the banner with the likeness of Andrew Jackson upon It, which was carried la the procession. The idea of Andrew Jackie:Vs name being associated with a band of fanatical Abolitionists Is sacrilegious. We have neither time nor apace to write of the affair as we should, and consequently oar report Is very brief. The main pro cession to the afternoon numbered a few over 1700 persons, men, boys and women, and we know our readers will be surprised to learn that there was a large delegation of the latter on foot in the procession. There ware from 5.600 to 6,000 persons on the ground where the speeches were made. The principal speakers were General John Cochrane ' of New York, a "life-long Democrat," who voted for Martin Van Buren against General Case in 1818, and who was re tired from his position in the army for the army's god; our exquisite " ladies' man," Judge Shannon; Colonel Jo. seph W. Fisher, who distinguished himself on this occa• don by an indiscriminate abuse of the Damocraticaoldiera in his regiment, the sth Reserves, and a gentleman by the name of Noble. There were also speeches at a smaller stand by such small fry Ite• Major Rudolph W. Shenk, and a pedagogue by the name of ,Barr. The apeeches were so devoid of interest and anything like argument, that a good while before the close of the meeting there were scarcely one hundred persons, (not including the Aboli tion League of this city,) left on the ground. TM man agers toigged and begged for the people to remain. bat it was all of no use. Several gentlemen, who were present, informed us that they felt very much for the speakers, who were so coldly treated. This meeting did not certainly show much interest or enthusiasm among the masses of the Ab shim party in the Old Guard for the "Soldier's Friend," Andy. Hero is something &gnificant.

W. Guernsey, resigned. The selection of Mr. R. Is an excel. lent one.

We are indebted to the Pittsburg Post for valuable filets itt-relation to the National debt, the proportion which will fall upon Penney!. svania, arid the heavy taxation which her peo ple will have to pay annually for an incalcu lable period. -We take the facts as we find 'them set forth it that paper, except in one or two instances, in -which we have taken the lihertyto tuire - e!, whet_ we believe to have been slight errors. We assume that the National debt is now, or very soon will amount to the enormous sum of THREE THOUSAND MILLIONS'OF DOLLARS, of which the proportion chargeable to Pennsyl vania will be one-sixth, or FIVE HUNDRED MIL , LIONS OF - DOLLARS, the annual interest upon which will be THIRTY MILLIONS OF' DOLLARS.— In addition to this, we have the fact that on the first day of September, according to the returns from the Surgeon General's Depart ment, the list of soldiers er titled to pensions amounted to one hundred and seventy thousand (170,000). To this formidable list we feel perfectly safe in adding eighty thousand (80, 000) more, making the whole number of pen sioners to be provided for two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) ; and we assume eight dollars per month to each as a low average. This would amount to ninety six dollars per annum to each pensioner, making the aggre gate TWENTY FOUR MILLIONS OF DOL LARS to be paid annually, of which Penn sylvania's share—one-siza—would be FOUR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, equal to a prin cipal of $66,666,666.661, (sixty-six millions Six hundred ar.d sixty-six thousand six hun dred and sixty-six dollars and sixty-six and two-third cents) at six per cent. For the sake of even figures we will call it SIXTY SEVEN MILLIONS. This will make Penn ' sylvania's share of the National debt FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN MIL LIONS, the interest on which, at six per cent., say in round numbers THIRTY-FOUR MIL. LIONS, she will have to pay annually in the shape of taxes. Of these taxes Dauphin county, containing one-sixtieth of the whole population of the State,will have to pay nearly FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. For the sake of round numbers—as we did before—we will say five hundred and fifty thousand—which would be eleven dollars fur every man, woman and child in the county; or, computing the taxable inhabitants at ten thousand, ~fifiy-five dollars for each one to pay every year. Let us look at this calmly for a moment in the light of facts, and see what is the ability of the State to meet this demand of fice hun dred and sixty-seven millions annually. The Post, having examined the documents, finds that the Revenue Board, in 1863, fixed the value of all the property in the State. real and personal, at FIVE HUNDRED AND ;NINETY-SIX MILLIONS. Now in order to balance the books fairly we must not forget the State debt, which is, in round numbers, $38,000,000. Taking then into the calcula tion the whole debt, State and National, which we have to foot, and the valuation of all the property of the State, as computed by the Revenue Board, :And the account will stand thus: PENNSYLVANIA, DR. To her share of the National debt - - $500,000,000 To principal, at six per cent. of her share of pension list - - - - 67 000 000 ,To her own State debt 38,000 000 $605,000,000 PENNEXLVANIA, CR By her own valuation of her own prop - - - $596,000,000 Balatsoe against the State - - - $9,000,000 So that it Pennsylvania were put up at auction to-morrow and sold for the full sum 'at which her own Revenue Board has valued her, she could not meet her obligations by NINE MILLIOS OF DOLLARS. That is, her debt is nine millions more than she is worth. And this is the result of Abolition plunder and mismanagement! Tax payers of tho State—tax-payers of Dauphin county.

To all unprejudiced minds it must have been long since apparent that, as Governor of this State, Mr. CURTIN did no more than the Governors of other States, in providing for the wants of the Volunteers ; while the militia men who responded, on two Occasions, to his terrified appeals. were treated by the Governor and_ his underlings with a cool disregard for their welfare which is only equalled by their impudence in claiming votes on the plea of being the soldiers' friends,— When General Lee was expected to make a move on Hagerstown on the second night after the battle of Antietam had been fought and won, Governor CURTIN, forgetting his many promises, to lead the militia in person, withdrew to a safe retreat, leaving in the hour of peril the Gray Reserves of this city to hold an important position under the command of Colonel Charles J. Biddle, that " infamous copperhead," who was disloyal enough to jeopardize his life in the front, while the val iant commander in.cbief, under Stanton, took up a secure position some miles in the rear. The true soldiers' friend who kept Leo from Hagerstown, and sent him reeling hack into Virginia—that' man to wit m the soldier's welfare was a matter of the first importance —Gen. McClellan—was removed from corn. mood through the machinations of the Altoona conclave, of which Curtin was a member. and to Mr Curtin as a member of' that iniquitous conspiracy are we indebted not only for Mc Clellan's removal, Porter's mock trial and sen tence, but for the slaughter under Burnside an , / Hooker dt Fredericksburg McClellan never uselessly sacrificed a life, while CURTIN is responsible for the never-waking sleep of thousands, butchered by fanaticism and im becility.

Enrrons : As a diseased sentimentality and false sympathy, along with mistaken views on the subject of Slavery, are so wide spread in our country, it is a service that is demanded by religion, reason, Justice and right to throw such information abroad as will present a more correct Bible view of tae subject. There are a class of persons who have become so infatuated and infuriated on this ques tion that neither religion nor reason can exercise any hold on their minds, but feeling and passion alone rule. With these we expect to be of no benefit inlaerining this artiole. Bat. to the candid, honest, thinking and reasonable we address ourselves. We oonsider I. The Hebrew laws and wages on procuring, holding and releasing servants. And let it be borne in mind that if Slavery was a sin intrinsically, or in itself in any form, as many hold, we should have no divine regulations and laws about it, but would have it plainly condemned as the Bible does all sins. It is a mere evasion of the question to say, or argue, that the relation of mas ter and servant 11 , abused. Are the adulteries and unfaithfulness to marriage vows arvments against the divine relation of marriage? RC is the abase and tyranny of many parents over their children, denying them the blessings and privileges of educa tion and religion, an argument against the divine relation of parents and children? If these are no arguments against the saoredness.of these relations, how can any abuse of the relation of master and servant be an argument against that relation? There were among the Hebrews voluntary and involuntary servants. Also, there were permanent servants held among them—that is, servants for whom there were no laws of release, but even whose children were held as slaves. Hebrew slaves could be hold only for a limited period of time, but the heathen slaves were held for an unlimited period of time. Let as be more particular as to these facts, and consult God's word respecting them. 1. As to voluntary eeivants. In Exodus 21. : 5-6, we read, " If the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife and my children, I will not go out free; then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door-post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever." The meaning of this passage is, if a servant had a wife, given him by his master, and children, he might either leave them at the end of six years and gu out free himself, or, if be would rather re main with them in bondage, he was to have his ear bored through at the door-post, and serve till the death of his master, or the year of jubilee. Read .Ex. 21 : 2-6 Lev. 25: 47-54. Deut. 15; 16-17. Then, 2. As to involuntary servants. We read in Ex. 21 : 2-4, " If thou- buy an Hebrew servant, six years be shall serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. if he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself; if he were married, then his wifo shall go out with him. if his master had given him a wife, and she have borne him sons and daughters, the wife and her children shall be her masters, and he shall go out by himself." Hebrews sometimes sold themselves or their chil dren through poverty; magistrates sold some per sons for their crimes ; and creditors were, in certain oases, allowed to sell their Insolvent debtors. See Leb. 25: 39; 2 Kings 4: 1. By the law of Moses, no Jew or Hebrew could be held, by one of his own countrymen, as a bond-ser vant or slave for life, unless he himself insisted - on staying with his master. According to the law, as above quoted, he became free after a service of six years; and whenever the year of jubilee, or gen eral release, came, all Hebrew servants, and none other, whatever had been their time of past service, were to be dismissed with liberty. And then, 3. As to permanent servants. In Lev. 25 : 44-46 we read Both thy bondman, and bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them ~hall ye buy bond men and bond-maids. Moreover, of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land ; and they shall be your possession. And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them fur a possession, they shall be your bondman forever; but over your brethren, the children of Is rael, ye shall not rule one over another with rigor." Here then is a distinction between Hebrew ser vants and heathen servants. Here were white per sons of the same nation, and surrounding nations, who were on 'a moral, social and political equality, enslaved. What shall we say then about the negro, whom we dare not put on a social and political equality with the white man'? What shall we say about enslaving him, who is incapable of sell gov ernment'? Is it a damnable sin to hold him in per petual servitude in any form, as Abolition fanatics say, even in the lace of the New Testament? Let us then consider, 11.. The New Testament precepts respecting the duties of masters and servants. And let it bo noted, that if the relation of master and servant, or slavery, is a sin in itself, then in stead of precepts and regulations concerning it we should expect to see the New Testament condemning it. But, on the contrary, we read passages thus : in Eph. 6 : 5-8, Servants "—the original is daubs, enslaved, enthralled—. Servants, be obedient to then, that are your musters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; with good will doing service as to the Lord, and not to men : knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he bond or free." See also Col. S : 22-24. Titus 2: 9. I. Peter 2 : 18.20. And tit. Paul in Tim. 6: 1-5, says, "Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own musters worthy of all, honor, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasp hemed. And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they aro faithful and beloved, par takers of the benefit. These things," he enjoins upon Timothy as a minister of Christ, to " teach and exhort. 11 any man teach otherwise," he goes on to say, " and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord J 023115 Christ, and to the doc trine which is according to godliness, he is proud, or, as the margin has it, a fool,) knowing nothing, but doting (or sick) about questions and strifes of words, whereof comoth envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of tne truth." It is evident front the above that in the Apostle's day there wore a class of persons, fanatical, talking wildly like the sick and delirious, who were inciting slaves to rebellion; and attempted to persuade Christian servants that they ought to rebel, assert their liberty as agreat Christian privilege, whatever might be the consequenees—though society be rup tured, violence fill toe land, and the condition of the servants themselves be rendered more disadvan tageous and degraded. No words could more cor rectly portray the character and wild, blood-thirsty schemes of the radical Abolitionists of our day.— They are laboring to bring everything into subjec tion to their own wild, wicked plans. No sympathy for the sufferings of white men North or south—no tears for the thousands of bereaved widows, mothers, sisters and children—no mournings for the hundreds of thousands of brave white young men who have fallen in this war, if only slaves can be set free to rove over the country like the free blacks of the North, doing violence, living idly and reckless, beg ging their way, filling our prisons and poor-houses, coming into competition with white labor in the North, and giving us a cumbrous population alto gether unmanageable; and also, if slaveholders can be robbed of every constitutional right, and Aboli tion will and wild wishes become the law of the land. •• • . We have no doubi but the spirit and power of Christianity, as it has, would without any radical noise or revolution, or contempt for historically es tablished' civil and religious rights, and law and truth, and the principles of equity, urged towards the orderly, constitutional abolition of Slavery. We make no apology for the abuse of the relation of master and slave, no morn than we would for the abuse of the marriage relation, or that of parents and children, or any other divine relation. But we do contend against the crazy schemes of Aboli tionists. We would urge " masters," as Paul does in Col. 4 : 1, to "give link° your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that ye also have a Master in Heaven." And we would recommend to servants freedom as preferable to servitude, if they are bettered by it, and do not become worse slaves and more degraded, like our Northern negroes in general. And it would be more just and righteous if we in the North would educate, and christianize, and employ, and thus elevate our negroes, before we undertake to take care of those millions in the South. It is fearful to think, that if extermination of the whites in the South, and the liberation of the blacks from their servitude, are to be the principles of the conduct of this war, then we will have a de p,pulated South, a much reduced, distressed and thinned North, and four millions of negroes running at large. The picture is too dreadful to contemplate. By all means let us say, "return to your allegiance, and every right you have as States, Els 00011:1211nitiee, as individuals, shall be preserved to you s4ored and inviolate." Men of the North! Sustain not a policy that says no conciliation but extermination, or you may ex pect war for years. If the people of the South are told that they will be robbed of every right, must submit to every civil indignity, be reduced to con quered provinces, be denied all constitutional rights and guarantees, lose their slaves, and not have their status in the old Union, what can we expect but they will fight as long as they can muster ammo f And then we will be so reduced as to become an easy prey for foreign powers. Let the Adminiatra• Con and party in power be magnanimous, and say to the people of the South, whilst we demand the heads of your leaders, we open our arms to you as the compassionate father did to his prodigal son, on condition that you lay down your arms, confess your sins and pledge yourselves to the Constitution. UNION. 1417 - Gen. Butler, in a Speech at Harrisburg , Pa., recently; declared: " I for one do not want this Union reconstructed on the old basis." One reason he gave (a false one, as every in. telligent man can see,) was that Jeff. Davis would then have to be put back into the Senate. This is too puerile and contemptible to be called argument; too senseless to deceive even the ignorant and unsophisticated for whom it was designed. A restora tion of the Union would no more neoessarily put Jeff. Davis back into the Senate than it would bring to life all the men who have been killed in this war for the benefit of negroes and plunderers. But why should Butler ob ject to the return of Davis to the Senate ? If Butler's efforts and wishes had •prevailed. Davis would have been President of the United States at this moment instead of Lincoln Butler voted for him over fifty times in the Charleston Convention, and because be could not procure bie nomination he aided in break ing up the Convention, dividing the Demo. oratio party and electing Lincoln. .He thus aided in bringing on the war. Gen. Butler did more towards plunging the country into this horrible war than Jeff. Davie did, and we are not sure that, morally, he is not as much of a traitor: Both are laboring to the same end—.the overthrow of the Constitution, .the destruction of the Union ; and we see but little if any difference in .the moral guilt of two men seeking the same object : but by dif ferent means.
