.
A Curtin trialy says that he is a
"tried mil" He has been tried and
found sadly'wanting t beth in peace and in
:war.
Before his election he pledged himself
not to favor the repeal of the tonnage tax.
But no sooner was he elected than he vio
lated his promise, .went , into a corrupt
combination to rob the State treasury of
an annual,revennu ittf over $050,000,
which would now Amount to more than
half a million a year. A bill was passed
in the legislature by corrupt means taking
this large and perpetual revenne from
_the
State,. and giving ILA° wealthy corOra
tion,—and not only this, but about *10;-
000 already due: on this tax was giverfup
to the railroad company, and parl'of the
money used - to bribe metubers to vote for
the bills. All these swindling operations
Curtin sustained, by encouraging 'them
and signing die nets: They Were in-Vio
lation of recent amendments to . the 164-
stitution, which forbade using. funds ap
propriated to the sinking fund for the pay
ment of the State debt, as this had been,
yet Curtin withheld his veto, which he
was bound to give under his oath of of
fice.
When the war broke out he engaged
with other army swindlers in robbing the
State, and defrauding the soldiers of large
sums in :clothing contracts, Arc. So far
did ho carry - these robberies, that the hon
est men of his own party—knowing his
propensity to dabble in plunder—denoun
ced his peculations , in unmeasured terms,
and his Attorney-General, Pt&lance, was
obliged to leave the administration, pre
ferring not to violate his own self-respect
by being a partner to such shameless rob
berries. All over Pennsylvania, wherev
er Ilepublican Sournals•were/ printed that
cared more for the country and the peo•
pie than they did for concealing the
crimes of a member of their party, Curtin
and his plundering go-betweens were ex
posed and denounced.
Again in 1863 we find Curtin's capacity
and honesty sadly deficient. Convinced
at a late hoar diet the Statowas about to
be invaded by the rebel holies, instead of
calling out the militia as wits his duty; be
ran off to Virastington toi ask if he might
perform a Goveipor's 4iuty to , his State ;
but finding nobody die& in . bate wl.,
- tir—ornretur - State - - from pillage,--he
came home-and waited a week—meantime
packing up' his goods', ready" for flight.-
Finally, when the rebels were upon him,
he began, to call lustjly for help, but so•
confused were his various ordem that Al
tai delay occurred in mustering in the
thousands who were ready to rush to arrii
to drive back the foe. So tardy had beim
the call, and so serious was the delay ere
order could be brought out of chaos, that
most of the militia got:into the field too
late to do any good ; and had it not been
that the "copperhead" Governors of oth
erStates,—to whom be appealed in his
hoer of weakness and peril,—came to his
rescue on short notice with thousands of
troops, poor Andy would have been a
prisoner or a fugitive,from a small frag
ment of Lee's army, which finally came to
within three milei of Harrisburg. But at
last, when the militia were in the field
under arms, instead cf striving to kefp
them fully supplied so as to be of effective
service to the State and country, the Gov.
and his harpies seemed to have but one
object in view—to make money at the ex
pense of the soldier's stomachs. Curtin
was always (when the rebs were out of
reach,) chasing after the troops making
speeches to them ; bat iciurvin . .thein to,
destitate, for weeks, of both food and
shelter, never did he attempt to have steps
taken' to supply their • wants: •Ile once

were receiving enormous sums, t he gal

Judge Woodward's Speech.
We copy in full to-day the speech of"
Hon. Geo. W. Woodward, delivered at
the great Union Meeting in Philadelphia,
in 1860. This, it must be noted, was ,be
before the rebellion broke out, and while
the honest mass, and many leading men in
both parties still hoped to avert civil war
by conciliatory means. The meeting was
called by Mayor Henry, a Repnblicali,
who presided, and made a speech, togeth
er with other Republicans. Judge 'Wood
ward's speech then met the approval of
the prominent Republicans, who pre
ferred to save the Union from peril; and
not until recently did the devil pat it into
the heads of bad men, by garbling and
falsifying the speech, they could pretend
to show it was not for Union, entirely.
We ask the people to read it tbrotigh, and
no one can find any sentiment tither then
a strong desire to preserve the Union.
No Abolition paper dares copy it r hilt ga-:"
ble and distort sentences to make 'theta
appear different from what they are. They
makirgreat flourishes over the allegatio
that he declared slavery an hicaloulablh
blessing. But he who reads the speacii
will find no such idea in it. He referred
to the fact that we at the North, and
preat Britain, had made money oat of
slave-grown cotton, &e.; he drew the un
deniable conclusion that slavery had been,
o:bisp 6 4-tezetft. A4_ •2'..
evil !xi the South . BIS words were :
"And thus it happens that the. Pievi:
dente of that Gond Being who hai watch
ed over us from the.beginnmg,and saved us
from external foes, has so ordered ear' in
ternal relations as to make negro slavery :
an incalculable blessing to us and the peo
ple of Great Britain. I say td us; for I
do not enter into the question whetiher
the institution be an evil to the people
Southern States. That is their concern, not
ours."
But the abolition organs, when lying
about the speech garble this sentence; for
they know that even Abolition fanatics
could not find fault with a man for stating
that we bad been blessed by what be ad
mits to be an evil to the South.
Let the speech be read and judged en
tire; and we are content to await the
people's 'verdict.
Judge Woodward's views on secession,
rebellion, the war, and the Union, maybe
learned from the letter from himself, his
son, and the resolutions appended to the
address, on fourth page of this t per, to
which we refer the reader.

the battle of Gettysburg, but was fort,nri
ate enough to escape unharmed, except a
slight injury to my right foot,,in which, I .
had been wounded during the Peninsular
campaign. -
.
Just, a ft er the fall of Sumter in the
spring of 1801, finding that war bet Ween
the two great sections of, our .cominon
country was inevitable, under the call_ of
the President for three years' volunteers,
I raised a company* Philadelphia, which
afterwards became incorporated with the
Second Regiment Pennsylvania Reserves.
Any one familiar. With the. busine§s, of rais
ing volunteer organizations .knows it, to
be an expensive undertaking. Every cent
that my compiny cost,, with ; the excep
tion of the small amount , that my limited
Means enabled me to devote to the pur
pose, came froni — my father, Judge:Wood
ward. During ell the. time, that-elitsed
before
..my company was mustered, into
service,J.lived!in his- horse, and .ita'd so
-far as I needed it, his co-operation in my
, enterprise.
As Major of the 2d. Pa. Reserves, l par
ticipated in the Peninsular campaign, and
was wounded at Charles City Cross
Roads, in the right foot, and left, leg—by
which wounds I am crippled for life—was
taken prisoner, confined in the Libby pris
on in Richmond, and, after being paroled
was taken to my father's house in Phila
delphia, where, four weary months I was
confined to my bed s suffering intensely,
but with that. suffertna alleviated and fin
ally relieved, not only by the best medi
cal skill, but also by the constant, kind,
unwearyins attentions of my father, mo
ther and sisters. During all that time, as
indeed during my whole life, no father
could be more kind, more solicitous for a
son's welfare, than was mine.
Almost daily conversation occurred be
tween us, in which the war, and the pres
ent and the future of our country were
discussed ; and although he freely criti
cised, and often condemned, the manner
in which this war was managed by the
administration, never did he utter a word
in sympathy with the doctrine c,f secess
ion, nor a syllable of approval of the
course taken by the people of the.Sontlf;
and never did he say aught which was
not calculated to encourage me in the per
formance ofmy duty as' a soldier. •
I have been thus full, sir, in .nay refuta
tion of your slander, not because you need
or deserve this kind of attention at my
hands, but because this reftitatio'n must
be made as public as was the calumny,

speakers. In the course , of his remarks
he stated in substance, that he had been

that, in a recent conversation with him,
Judge Woodward had avowed him
self in favor of the immediate recognition
of the South." This infamous and pre

counter by Judge Woodward himself.—
The follow ing correspondence will be read
with interest by all who revere candor and

TUE RECORD.
The editorials of the Pittsburg Gazette,
an abolition paper, against Gov. Curtin
are circulated in pamphlet form. They
make a truthful and damaging record..
Ist. That the Governor was the futi
mate friend of Charles M. Neal and FrOwtv
field, who swindled the soldiers in shOddy
and shoes, and that the committee of; in
vestigation, were managed to cover': up
and smooth over the fraud.
2il. That the Governor favored and
signed •titi3 bill repealing the "Tonage
Tax," although he confessed it was "atro
ciously wrong." That he signed the bill
with " indecent haste chitin!. a recess of
the Legislature" notwithstanding " he had
given the most positive assurance that it
should be vetoed," and notwithstanding
he " was solemnly and repeatedly pledged
to refuse it his assent."
3d. That he " signed" this tonago tax
swindle "immediately after these assur
ances were given" and that there was a
private agreement in writing, made by
Thomas A. Scott, " for the company to
pay the sum of $75,000 per annum into
the treasury WHICH AGREEMENT
HE, (Curtin,) CONCEALED FROM
THE PEOPLE: AND AFTERWARDS
SURRENDERED TO THE COMPA
NY, without preserving a copy of it.",
When interrogated at the next session'
upon this , point, he- ADMITTED THE
FACT himself of the agreement, and its
SURRENDER'? and excused-- hitnself on
the ground ,that " the company; st'ere pay

The record 'showed.-that ,bad., not

the Governor words were "contradicted
by the testimony - of bis own Attorney
General,"-who swore.before • tie
_Hopkins
'Conur.ittee- that the paper
,*as .given - I by
Scott and placed in his hands as ark official
document, . •
4th., The Pittsburg Gazette says in view
of these things that the masses believed
that the Governor bad "SOLD THE
PEOPLE, and BETRAYED THE
STATE, and asks if "anybody is weak
enough to think that these things are al
ready forgiven and forgotten."
sth. That when another attempt was
made to investigate the whole.matt.er Col.
McClure hastened from the sick bed of a
friend to advise the appointment of the
committee, that a great struggle was
made to keep off all who " were bent on
ruining a Republican Governor."
That the committee "acted languidly,"
that it was surrounded by the "com
pany's spies," " who telegraphed c'tt':"--('.,-wit
nesses about to be summoned, in order to
keep them out of the way," and that the
President and Vice President of the com
pany avoided the summons as witnesses
—one by " absenting himself from the
State" and the other by a certificate from
a Physician, that he was undergoing in
jections of lunar caustic, although he was
walking the stfeets. The committee how
ever found that the bill was procured by
the use of fraudulent and improper means"
,to which bill the Governor• however'
against his pledge put his sjgnatnre.—
Thos was.,the people robbed of many
hundred. thousand dollars. '
sth. This' abolition paper. alleges, 'thdt
Gov. Curtin •in our national matters, has
not only. fallen far short4Bf the=occasion,
in every, dement of"courage, truthfulness,
and ability, "but has enacted the part of
a marplot, from the beginning," and " cre
ated more trouble at 'Washington by his
officious intermeddling than all the other
Governors" ~(of this we.need not speak,
as there is not much honor, truth or de
cency anywhere among them.)
1t h. That the Governor pledged him
self not to be . . a candidate, meaning to be
one, and lastly these papers by many as
sertions regard his nomination asfatal,
and his re.eleetiort as • impassible.' The
pamphlet is lengthy and exposes rascality
which the ',people , should remember Gov.
Curtin for at the ballot box. . - .
