• Messrt. A Pliarir of the clbirg:ivo
among tWe it/Sias contained in Thcf-Age,
that Philadelphia is rapidly filling up with
soldiers, many of them stalwart, ablebod
ied, men, who havebeen sent home upon
furlough for ,ihe porposeiof voting for
Curtin. The same thing is observable
through/out - 0o whole -, State, In - every
city and town the _soldiers. favorable to
Governor Curtin. are 'frocking- home to
vote, while the Deinocrats are left in the
field to :face the„enemy, and perhaps to
suffer slefeat,froni this unwarrantable and
inhunian depletion.of our, armies.
r have ascertained upon the most un
doubtOd../ alithoritY that Gov. Curtin has
agents employed to visit the hospitals and
oatelmh to sound the men, ascertain who
are, vote for him, and obtain
firlofiglis for such, to visit their homes on
eleetion'days: These agents go out cni
tensiblyapon missions of hrunanity : They
pOtendto visit and care for the sick and
‘lStßiAndeol Pennsylvanians in our hospitala,,
het. the principal business is to drum up ,
*Mita for Curtin. A young man from
this town, who has been employed in this
business, admitted, the ' other day, in an
unguarded moment, that he bad been vis
iting the hospitals for the express purpose
ofascertaining the names of the Curtin
men. The gross injustice of this proceed
nre must be apparent to every fair man ;
but the worst feature
,remains to be told.
The . expense of those agents are paid out of
the State Treasury. Governor Curtin is
now using the money appropriated by the
Legislature as a secret Service fund, for
the purpose of advancing his own private
interests. Let me' state .facts that will
bring., the charge directly . home to the
devernor.
-The, three , million Loan bill passed by
the Legislature, and approved by the Gov
ernor on the 15th of May, 1861, author
ize4l Mut to draw on his warrant , from the
State Treasury a snm not exceeding $20,-
()00 for the compe . nsation of 'such per,
sons as he may require to serve the Coin
monwealth in the military organization of
the State or the General' Government, and
for the expenses incident to the business
on which they may . be employed," and he
is further " authorized to cause the, same
to.be duly-settled quarterly with the Audi- ,
tor General, 'of. the State." Under the
authority hereby granted, Governor Cur
tin ,has drawn from the State Treasury the i
sum of $15,500, and has settled only one
quarterly account, fbr.the quarter ending
December 21, 1861, for the sum of 86,007.
38,. leaving the stun of $9,492.62 in his
hands unaccounted for, although the law
expresslyrequires him to make quarterly
settlements. The sum of 69,00.36, for
Which , : Governor Curtin has accounted,
was principally expended in paying his
ai4,de-camp and in the expenses of spe
cial agents visiting the hospitals to look
after sick and wounded soldiers. The
sum of $9,492.62, iwhich Governor
Curtin has NOT accounted, is now being
expended in paying the expenses of agents,
whosgarticular business is to ascertain
the- - ties of the soldiers in camps and
botipitab/, and to report.the names of those
o aregood enough Curtin, men. to en
titleitbem toreceive a permission to come
,home and vote.- Why has Governor Cur..]
tin-'neglected to settle his account, for-se
cret service money, drawn since Dec. 21,
1861, in -utter disregard of law which re
goings him to settle quarterly accounts?
Beaanser he was a candidate for regelection,
and •-hei-feared 'to place oe record, an ac
°omitwhich would haxe convicted him of
having inisapproprinted the public money
and diverted funds" intended for the relief
of the sick and--wounded soldier to the
advancement'of his own private political
purposes.. • -
In ,September, 1861, Gov. Zurtin re
paired to 'Washington , for the purpose, of
presenting regimental,flags to the Penn
sylvania 'Reserve Corps. How much do
you • think that -visit - ought to , ,have cost,

cost any man- of- prudence who desired to
spend as little of the public money as pos.

Governor Curtin drewlrom-the Treasury
to defray the e x penses of himself and 'suite
on this occasion, the •.gam pf 45384:30.
The greater part of this , money ; was •evi

"These States aro glorious in their individuality, but
their adlective glories are in the Union. By all means,
at all hazards, are they to be maintained in their integri
ty and the tull measure of their Constitiatiotuil rights—
for only ea is the Union to be preserved—only : lo is it
worth preserving. It lathoperfection of the prismatic
colors; which.blenrkd, produce the ray of light. It is
the completenets of theseassembled sovereignties, lack
ing nothing which they have not lent for a great pur
pose, that makes the Union precipue. This word Un
ion is a word of gracious omen. It implies confidence
and iatTettien—nuittial impikirt end proteetien -against
external dangers: ItiS the eksiMed died within which
the family dwells. It te -a man helping his-fellow-man

States, separated by lines, and interests, and institu

moving onward to the same sublime destiny, and all in

this Union—let ours be pledgr.d to.maintain it."--Gxo.

Mr Voters should remember that 'it
was a belief that the Republicans meant
to take from the South their rights in the
Union, that caused the South to try to go
out of the Union. Now; if the Reimbli

will fight all the; harder for independence.-

Abethe Rebel excuse for the - rebellion will

-There is plenty of evidence of this kind.

ONE QUESTION sErnan.
We are always glad to see aControver+
sy settled. For years we have argued
that the Republican patty was taking the"
ground. of Negro-Equality. Democrats,
maintain that negroes are inferior to
whites; but_ Republicans assume that
where the Declaration of Iniependenee
says, " all men are created equal," we are
to.understand that negroes am included,
,and are therefore equal to the whites.—
But -Democrats repudiate, thiitibreed con
struction of th,at, revered 'instrument,
holding that no negroes were it the Con
vention, And were not meant to be includ-
ed ; and that nobody ever thought that,
made negroes equal to whites; until Abol
litionists said so for politiintreffect.
A secret hani-bill has lately been print ! .
ed by the Curtin Committee, asserting
that because Democrats argue that the'
Declaration don't' include nefirdes,', ttiOt,
theY , " repudiate the Deolati:Ro ;" which
allegation is falSe, Only', repudiate
the Republican idea that it makes negroes
equal to whites.
The - circulation of this hand-bill, there
fore,besiaes showing that the Abolition
ists will lie to gain votes, settles one ques
tion,' 'Viz: that- Curtin and his party
leaders believelhat negroes are equal 'to
whites, and therefore in favor of Ne
gro-Eqoality. With Abolitionists who
swell* this modern ,doctrine, we hold no
dispute; and think that every man 'who
thinks negroes are his equal ought to vote
for Curtin; also for - .knew, who adio
eatei negro-voting.
But white men of all parties who repu
diate Negro-Equality' will repudiate Shod
dy Andy and his party.
&Or The Ciirtia organs do not pretend
to stkl: to the truth, bat rely 'on false
hood-to sustain their sinking , cause, and
cheat the public. One of the latest lies
is a statement in the .Montrose Republi
can that ":Rev. Thos. P. Hunt; a •life-lOng
Demerat; was outfor . Curti , 6.7 " Father

`voted the Dentopratio 4140 1 but is an

We call it a false •plea, for more men

tae state of Nei Jersey by volunteering,
than in ail New England bydrafting. :So
it is proved that the Democratic policy of
volunteering is more speedy and effective
than the Republican policy of a slew and

If Woodward is elected, he will not fa

,of drafting; but if 'more
men are needed, he will if allowed by the
President have them raised if possible by
the only proper in'ethod—volunteeiing.
If.WoodWard is elected, the war will be
shortened, for he is in , favor of-suppress

cease.
If Curtin is elected, the war will be pro.

to coutinue the- war until all the slaves
are liberated—a long and hopeless task. _

A MAN. HONEST REPUBLICANS,
CAN YOU VOTE FOR' SUCH A
MAN ?"
In Philadelphia the most prominent
Republican paper, one of whose publish
ers holds an office under Lincoln, is en
tirely silent on the question of Governor,,
except to
,speak well 'of Judas Wood
_
ward, as above quoted. Two years ago
it published the damning evidence of Cur
tin's guilty connection with the frauds
upon our State volunteers, anti last July,
while we were in the State service, and
somebody was making money by keeping
back our food, the inquirer published the
following:
"It is a sad commentary that.. while
ehouraludii-or liravd men rush to arms _to,
defend the state - from invasion, and while
the Governor was tickling them, with
honied words, his minions and folloWers
were permitted, like, harpies, to deprive
them of food; and to compel them to
make
,long and weary' marelea without
the poor lUxury Of crackers and poik. It
is a matter of record that, while shese cop
tractor
~ warp, reeelying enormous, sums,
the gallant 'Philadelphia , soldiers.' were
placed on, allowance of cracker a day
for severt'days tiigFther," thanks to the
neglect and corruption -of the, E*ecutiiie
Department of PennsYlvaina.",
So i.e. • may , confidmltly . . assure our
friends that. " all goes well." Let every
man rally to the post of duty, prepared
to balance any 'scheme of fraud that may
be perpetrated, by making our majority
overwhelming. One strong, united pull,
and victoryis ours. , •
