Brief Notes on Judge Woodward's Speech
in 1860.
To Me Editor q( The Press:
Sin : "Oh I that mine enemy would Write a book,"
said the ancient prophet, and if it were alleged that
belied in his eye especially the republication of this
remarkable document, it might not be declared to
be an utterly unworthy supposition; for, considered
In its relation to the great strife now going on, the
occasion might not improperly be regarded as
" divine vindice nodus." This speech has been re
published, in order to meet and refute the "gross
misrepresentations " which it is said to have occa
sioned ; but in fact it fully sustains all that Judge
Woodwerid's opponents have charged against him,
and even goes far beyond them in some ultimate,
The Republican papers are charged by the commit
tee, who now publish it, with having refused to
spread it before their readers, lest it m ight damage
their cause, and therefore I propose to insert a few
passages from it,ln addition to those which have
been already extensively quoted, with brief remarks
upon them.
The opinion and statement ascribed to him, "that
there must be a time when the slaveholders may
lawfully fall back upon their natural rights,". is hero
plainly , slated, though it is qualified by the remark
di if this conflict be irrepressible." And it is but
right that he should have the benefit of this doubt or
condition. He says, also, that in his judgment
"that time had not yet arrived ;" the question is
would he say so nowt But, even if it has not,
would he still say "let the South go peaceably, if at
all?" The committee say, "that on the subject
of the war, now that we are involved in it, the
Judge's views will be found iri the resolutions" of
the Democratic (Jonvention.These resolutions deny
"any sympathy with the present gigantic rebellion,"
refuse to oqnsent to peace on " any terms involving a
dismemberment of the Union."
But how all this is to be reconciled, it seems im
possible to say; for, if the original cause of the
South was just and the whole course of the Ad
ministration and conduct of the war has been un
ust, as the Democratic party allege, how can we
blame the rehels for falling back on their natural
rights and defending them to the last drop 1 And as
for Judge W., In particular, who will pretend that he
has shown any sympathy with the administration
or the army in their efforts to put it down' Who
ear, suppose that so bold and outspoken a man
would bare kept such profound silence for, two years
last past, however averse he may be to sully the
purity of the ermine by descending into the arena
of politics, unless he still held views which it would
not be pe/iiie to avow Why should he rest under
such a load of unnecessary "misrepresentation" as
he has thereby incurred'
But there are . other atatements in this document
which need to be not only qualified, but contra
dicted. In one passage—indeed in more than one—
he utters a libel on the Stale which he wittiest to re
percent and govern 1 or rather upon all the States of
- the North, Pennsylvania being, of course, included.
Ile says "the Northern States abolished slavery
gradually, and ao did not wound their love of gain,
They sold out ehsvery to the South, and received a
full equivalent, not only in the price paid down, but
in the prosperity which grew from the products of
slave labor" (elsewhere). Now, is this a mistake of
ignorance, on the part of a learned Judge, or inten
tional false witness against the disinterested philen
thropy of our forefathers! The Franklins, the
Rushee, the Winders], the Penns of Pennsylvania,
did they sell out slavery for gainl
They might have known and believed that the
'final result of abolishing slavery would he increased
prosperity here, as it would have been ewithout
slave labor being continued elsewhere. Bat was
this their paramount " consideration I" And did
they make no immediate sacrifice to gain their be
navels nt end 1 Did they not even make laws both
in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts torevent the
sale of slaves to the South, thereby 'encouraging
their settlement and industry , at home! Those who
have read history at all could " instruct" the Judge
on these points, and convict him before any jury of
twelve honest, either of culpable ignorance or inten
tional "misrepresentation." He may choose hie
own kern of this dilemma, but none of the resolu
tions of the " Convention" can enable him to es
camit.
Hie speech contains also some specimens of logic,
which would hardly seem to fit him for the of ice ei.
Slier of judge or Governor. He did not think the
conflict irrepressible in 1860, and had his own way
of stopping it. He would have let the South go
peaceably, if at all, because he thought the Govern
ment, acting under the Constitution, could not pre
vent it. He would, therefore; have Ind a Conven
tion to enlarge the powers of the Government. But
why I_ Because" President Buchanan and Attorney
General Black confessed that the Government, as
now constituted, was unable to prevent or punish
secession." Ile would, therefore, have had "a Na
tional Convention to enlarge the powers of the Go
vernment," though in what particular way he would
not presume to say. Really we needed some better
reason and authority for such a move than that
which the learned Judge adduces. At any rate
the whole "war in which we are now involved" has
been begun and continued under the Constitution
as it was and in ; and, therefore, it must be illegal
and unconstitutional according to the. Judge's own
verdict, and how could he do anything, as a citizen
or a magistrate, to promote it !
Again, he sass, "wo see it announced on the floor
of Congreare that the city of New York, tired of her
connection with Puritan New England, and the
fanatical interior of her own State, wilt improve the
opportunity to set up for herself." Indeed! Upon
whose " authority " does the Judge thus prophesy
the secession of the city of New York! At any
rate, hie authority moves thus far to have been in
correct, and there are not even any signs of such an
end approaching. On the contrary, the General
Government seems quite strong enough to keep the
little Island of Manhattan still moored to the main
land, and to keep her there in peace and quietness,
too.
After all these errors in court, on the part of our
- Pennsylvania judge, no wonder a Maryland lawyer
lately said, "I rejoice that I don't practice my pro
fallen in Philadelphia." LEX.
The Defences of Philadelphia.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sts : Ever since the disastrous retreat of the rebel
army after the battle of Gettysburg, the newspdpera
of Philadelphia have teemed with criticisms from
Unknown writers on the subject of the fortifications
around the city. Whether the critics had their at
tention too much engaged at first by the imminent
danger of Philadelphia to attend to the manifest in
competency of the engineers in charge of the works,
or whether forte that were well planned, as long as
the enemy was known to be approaching, suddenly
became leas eo upon his evasion, has not yet. tran
spired. In a word, whether the engineers are In
fault, or, whether the critics have stultified them
selves, is still undetermined ; for the critics have had
it all their own, way, and any man who could afford
a little foolscap could be safely'witty to hie heart's
content, or with unction subscribe himself "pro
bono publico.”
It so happens that there are individuate in Phila
delphia who know most of the statementa made in
the papers regarding the fortifications to be false;
but the palpable absurdities and gross exaggerations
of the attacks have, up to the present tune, been
deemed an ample confutation of the assertions con.
tained in them. A period, however ' has arrived,
when the persistency of these attacks has misled a
portion of the community, and this fact appears to
render a reply imperative.
The charge of anal- administration in the construc
tion of the fortifications near Philadelphia has been
made against the engineers of those works, and It
has been reduced to live specifications, as forlowa :
First. The uselessness of fortifications where they
have been constructed on the Schuylkill. Second.
The imperfect construction of the fortifications.
Third. That the fortifications are, in some in
stances, commanded by higher ground in the yi
cinity. Fourth. The mode of working, the men by
reliefs.- Fif:h. The unwarrantable most of the forti-
Scations.
Let us consider these specifications, and we shall
then see that the charge of mal•adrainistration,
made against the engineers, is absurd ; that the pre
sumption must be they were not incompetent in
their own department ; that if the fortifications
cost too much, the remedy was not in the hands of
the engineers, as, all labor and facilities were pro
vided by the city; and lastly, and consequently,
that the critics of the past two months did not pos
sess the knowledge which they arrogated to them
selves.
First. The uselessness of the fortifications where they
have been Constructed on the .Schuylkill. The reason
assigned for this assertion is, that an enemy would
be able to bombard the city over the fortifications,
and the evidence adduced in proof of this, is, that
.Jenerai Gilmore threw shell into Charleston, a
distance of live miles from his battery. In the
first place, it may be remarked, that, at the time
the forts near the Schuylkill were commenced, no
bombardment at the distance of five miles had ever.
taken place, but that the feat of General Gilmore
at Chaeieston is the first instance on record. But
putting aside this fact, which is introduced merely
to show the fairness of the critics, it so happens, to
prove their ignorance, that if what transpired at
Charleston had happened before, instead of after
the construction of the fortifications on the Schuyl
- they would have been constructed in pre
cisely the same places, for the reasons, that it could
never be contemplated that fortifications just at the
bridges on the Schuylkill were to be the main
works of Philadelphia, and because the rebel army
does not transport three-hundred-pounders as artil
lery.
The forts near the bridges are in lieu of " tetes de
pont," or " bridge heads," to command the ap
proaches to the bridges, and thereby prevent an
enemy from crossing the river. If the rebel army
had advanced on Philadelphia, its progress would
have been slow, but many miles from the city caval
ry would have been detached. At one period, five
thousand cavalry could have crossed into Phila
delphia, if there had been no "bridge heads," or if
WO had destroyed the bridges, they would have held
the city at their mercy with their small pieces of ar
tillery. But with the "bridge heads," and other
positions chosen on the Schuylkill, we would have
silenced and knocked to pieces any batteries which
a cavalry force could bring and put is position to
bombard the pity, or we would have frustrated any
attempt of the enemy to cross the bridge and hold
the city.
As, in the event of the enemy's march on Philadel
phia, there was every reason to anticipate that his
cavalry would make a forced march upon tee city,
the protection of the bridges was the most urgent
of all the preparations for defence. The " bridge
heads" were not intended to form the only works
stout Philadelphia. The forts built are not all on
the banks of the Schuylkill, and the reconnoissances
for defences, the necessity for which was happily
averted, went from fifteen to twenty miles beyond
the city. These term a mass of the most useful in
formation, which should have been possessed long
before an imminent danger hastened its collection
with the greatest precipitancy.
Second. The imperfect construction of the fortifica,-
lions. The profiles are those of D. 8.. Mahan, Pro
lessor. of Military end Civil Engineering at West
Point. The chief engineer was Professor A. D.
Bache, a graduate of West Point, and he had as
assistants a large corps, comprising men who are
engineers or surveyors by profession, and many who
had seen service in the field. General Dana, the
commander of the department at that time, an
officer of the regular army, who saw much service
in the Mexican war, and fought in this through the
battles of the Peninsula campaign, was cognizant
of the plaits used in the construction of the field
works. It is presumable that these facts - alTord
more weighty testimony in favor of the supposition
that the works are properly constructed, than the
assertions of individuals who have not authenti
cated a single statement, (1 0 , to establish the con
trary supposition.
Third. That the fortifications are in some instances
commanded by higher ground in the vicinity. This is a
fact well known to all of the officers who have been
in charge of the fortifications. When the retreat of
the rebel army began, it was deemed proper not to
commence any more works, but merely to finish
those already begun. Points which have been so
apparent to the eyes of loungers did not necessarily
escape those of persons in charge of the defence of
the city, but, besides glancing around, the latter
made investigations and surveys.which led to ac
curate topographical knowledge, and every possible
site for a fort was selected at the time of the inva
sion. Wherever ;ground commands the present
Works, it was kno wn to the engineers from the time
of the first reconnoissances and investigations, and
plans were adopted in contemplation of an emergency
that would require further construction. It was the
pursuance of an economical administration that led
to the abandonment of the plans to construct many
works which were projected when the invasion com
menced.
Fourth. The mode of working the men by reliefs. The
men were not worked in this manner except during
a few hot days, when the plan wee tried, for the rea
son, that owing to the heat, the men worked lan
guidly; and it vas thought that a greater result
might be produced, and that each gang might labor
With greater spirit when Return came after a regular
intermission. The experiment failed, the idea was
abandoned, and the attempt was at once relin
quished.
Fifth. The unwarrantable cost of the fortifications.
The sum has been variously stated, but the dispo
sition seems to be to make it as large as possible,
hence it is usually put so as to. cover the whole ap
propriation, $500,000. The works are now entirely
finished, and they cost $6l 000 . Of this sum the
ilighway. Department receives $50,000 for labor,
and the Gas Company receives $3,400 for labor.
These sums are disbursed by the city. The Chief
}Mgineeri Prof. A. D. Bache, throughnia asolatanta,
disbursed $0,1.00.
These ;mine are given in round numbera to the
nearest hundred or thousand. The cost of surveys
and reconnoiseances still in progress will fall within
$1,5001 The sum of $6,100 includes the whole
amount thus far expended by engineers for instru
ments (which will be turned over to the city) trans
venation, tolls, car t ag e, lumber, carpenters' work,
and it also includes the per diem of one dollar a
day to each of the chiefs of sutsiatenee, and in
some oases their actual subsistence. No officer con
nected with the works received any pay excepting
his per diem, and the volunteer officers from the
Department of Surveys of this city, and those from
the State at large, served cheerfully and energoti
cally without env remuneration whatever, and ad
vanced money for their daily car fares and Milian
while superintending the works. some volunteer
engineeia connected with the works declined all re
imbursement.
In fine, the engineers of the fortifications at Phila
delphia had no control over any expenditures ex
cepting those mentioned. They had no choice in
the selection of the tabor,-and they controlled it to
the beat of their ability. They merely accepted the
facilities that were offered by the city. Their sole
reward has conrieed in unsparing vituperation.
Their defence now, for the Ilyst time, appears.
I am, air, your obedient servant, B.

STATE FALE AT NORRISTOWN.—The pro-
Hininaries for the grand exhibition of the. State
Agricultural Society, which opens at Norristown to
day, have all been arranged, and articles and ani
mals have, for several days past, been crowding into
the enclosure. The workmen have given place to
exhibitors, who me busily engaged in arranging
their articles for exhibition. A stroll through the
various buildings, tents, and sheds, yesterday, con
vinced us of the fast, that the exhibition will be a
success, as tar as contributions are concerned.
Every department is well represented, and some of
them unusually W. There will be a superior die.

those entered for speed and beauty. The excellenee
of the track, which is one of the best in the State,
has attracted alarge number of owners of fine horses,
who will bring to the exhibition - come animals re
markable for speed and bottom:
From the most distant portions of the State there
are largo entries of improved cattle, while the
farmers of /Montgomery and the adjoining counties
will be fully represented in this department.
We do not remember having seen a liner show of
agricultural implements and machinery for many
years, and as there are hourly accessions of wagon
loads. • its extent will be largely increased today.
Floral Hall is beautifully arranged, and boasted,
yesterday, an array of useful and ornamental plants
which would do credit to any exhibition; The fruit.
of which large quantities had already arrived, will
be unpacked and arranged to day. The managers
me in high spirite, their anticipations having thus
far been fully met, and as the weather promises to
be fair and pleasant, there will`doubtless be a large
attendance of visitor's. • •
Water is supplied in abundance from a neighbor
ing stream by the Fairmount steam fire engine of
this city. The exhibition can -be reached by the
Norristown Railroad, at the office of which tickets
of admission may also be procured. The tare has
been reduced to fifty cents tor the excursion. Ad•
mission to the fair grounds 25 cents. •
It may be well to mention that the rates for
meals and Meting lave been agreed upon by the
principal landlords, and are very moderate.' Those
who desire a pleasant ride, and who admire fine
cattle, fast horses, handsome fruit, andfingeniously
constructed implements 'and machines, should
avail themselves of the fine opportunity now af
forded for the gratification of these tastes, by visi
ting the exhibition. Entries of articles may be
made up to this (Tuesday) evening.
LOCALLY INTERESTING.—It Was reported
that among the slain at the battle of Gettysburg was
a gallant young soldier named George Simons, of
the 114th Regiment P. V. It was also stated that he
was so badly mutilated that his remains could
namely be recognized. The father, - mother, and
sieteirrof young Simons were consequently thrown
into deep grief. On Friday, however, they received
a letter from him, dated College Green Barracks,
Annapolis, aid" September 24th. Instead of being
killed, he, with others, was taken ;prisoner on the
2(1 of July, reached Richmond on the 21st of that
month, and was cent: to . Bell Island, where he re
mained a prisoner until the 21st of the present month.
He says there is a mighty difference between Uncle
Sam's feeding the soldiers and the Johnny rebs.
During his imprisonment the prisoners received
only two meals each day, as follows : One ounce of
meat and nine ounces of bread for breakfast, at nine
o'clock in the morning ; at half past three o'clock in
the afternoon the prisoners received nine ounces of
bread and a pint of soup-sometimes-beans or rice.
He says some of the prisoners got fat on such living,
but many died on the Island. Three prisoners were
shot by the rebels ; one of them being a young man
named Bradly, who belonged to the 91st Regiment
Pennsylvania Volunteers.
HIGIE-RANDED FRAUD CONTEMPLATED.—
It was currently reported- on the political 'change
yesterday that some of the assessors have expressed
a determination not to place on the extra assessment
any of the soldiers, no matter how - legally entitled
they may be to vote. They base their opinion on
the decision made by the Hon. Judge G. W. Wood
ward, that it is unconstitutional for the soldiers to
vote. Of course the attempt en the part of the
coppery assessors will be at once met by the prompt
application of the law in such cases made and pro
vided.
Should there be any resident soldier who desires
to be placed on the extra- assessment, let him take
one or two substantial citizens with him, and then
make the application. If any assessor refuses to
do his duty, let the afadavit be made at once,
E 0 that the offender may be promptly arrested and
put under bends to answer. It would be well for
some of our knowing citizens to attend the sittings
of the assessors, take the soldiers—what few there
are—who desire to vote, and pay especial attention
to this affair. Go early on the brat day of the meet
ing, so that the attempt can be checkmated in the
beginning.

there is no important change to note in any of the opera

periods of wild speculation. followed by reactions and
