She countyare invited to attend.
ME SOLDIERS' STAY LAW.
We hope that every friend of the soldier will
read the article we print on our outside page re
lative to Judge WOODWARD'S decision in favor
of the constitutionality of the "Stay Law" pas
sed by the Legislature in the Spring of 1861, for
the protection of the property of our soldiers
during their absence in the military service of
the country. The Abolition papers have had a
great deal to say in abuse of Judge WOODWARD,
for deciding—in a case brought before him by
an Abolition office holder, who wished to oust a
Democrat who claimed lit eleetion by Ike cola of
soldiers absent in the army—that the Constitution
requires, as every man who can read may see it
does, that the citizens of this Commonwealth
must exercise the right of suffrage in the election
districts where they respectively reside, said no
where else. But these pretended friends of the
soldiers have not a word to say, either in praise
or otherwise, of the same Judge's decision ens
raining the constitutionality of the Soldiers' Stay
Law—a matter of far more importance to every
soldier and his family at home, than any tempo
rary relinquishment of hisvight to vote. It is a
Judge's business to interpret, not to make laws ;
and he deserves neither credit for deciding ac
cording to the popular feeling in one case, or
blame for deciding against it in another. In
both these cases, Judge WOODWARD did only
what was his sworn duty ; but, in delivering his
opinion in favor of the Soldiers' Stay Law, he
gave expression to sentiments so humane and
patriotic, that no one who reads them can fail to
be convinced that, so far from being inimical to
any of the rights or interests of the soldier, his
warmest feelings and sympathies l are enlisted
for his welfare.
CURTIN AND THE TONNAGE TAX.
When Andrew G. Curtin canvassed this State
for Governor, in 1860, he announced from every
stump that he was opposed to the repeal of It so
just a tax as that imposed upon the tonnage of
the Pennsylvania Railroad." Yet no sooner had
he taken his seat and sworn before High Heaven
to protect and defend the intermits of the Com
monwealth, than he approved a bill, passed by a
Republican Senate and House of Representa
tives, which deprived the State of a just and
equitable revenue to the amount of three hundred
thousand dollars a year; and actually released
the company from the payment of SHORN HIM.
DUD THOUSAND DOLLARS, already due the State.
With all this heavy load of iniquity upon his
head, Curtin has been renominated, against the
earnest protest of the honest sentiment of the
Republican party ; and he now again asks the
suffrages of the people of Pennsylvania. What
do the honest tax-payers of Berke county think
of the record of Governor Curtin, unlade upby
the Pittsburgh Gazette, one of the papers of his
own party, for the special enlightenment of the
delegates to the Pittsburgh Convention ? Ought
it not to have condemned him as utterly unfit for
the further support of any constituency'. But
the corrupt managers who controlled that Con—
vention, succeeded in forcing him again before
the people as a candidate, against the earnest
protests of many of their own colleagues. It
now remains for the people to resent this insult
to their good sense and forbearance, and reject
so unworthy a servant by a mejority so decisive
that it will stand as a warning to all future Gov
ernors who may be tempted to connive at and
encourage public wrong and robbery.

CURTIN'S POLITICAL RECORD.
We refer our readers to the Political Record
of Anonym G. Cumin, on our first page,
, as de
lineated by the Phial:Awes Casette, a leading
Republican paper, just prior to the assembling
oPthe Abolition State Convention which placed
him in nomination for a second term. It is a
most damaging exposure of the dishonesty and
corruption of the present State Administration ;
and, coming from such a source, should con—
vince those who will not listen to the warnings
of, Dsmoeratio journals, how utterly unfit and
unworthy Governor Curtin is, to be continued
in the power he has so shamefully abused.

Boasted Loyalty of the 'Journal'
during the Mexican War.
ME. GETZ :—The readers of the Journal will
recollect, that its editor boastiegly assbrted on
the 28th of February last, " that he was no Cop •
perhead, thank God," during the Mexican War,
and this he attempted to prove by quoting seve
ral mutilated extracts taken from the Journal of
that day ; but Mr. Knabb was exceedingly care
ful not to reproduce, as proof of his ...loyalty,"
the articles (also taken from its columns and not
mutilated) which appeared in the Gazette of last
Saturday week. These Mexican War articles of
the Journal have been, in my presence, pro
nounced by certain Abolitionists or so-called
Republicans "base forgeries ;" to which I replied :
"Call upon Mr. Knabb and satisfy yourselves ;
Mr. "X" has given you the dates of their ap
pearance in the Journal." But Ido not believe
that Mr. Knabb will ever be questioned by these
mouth-patriots—they do not desire to see or know
the truth. Rear what this same " loyal" editor
and apotless patriot said in the Journal of June
la, 1846 :
We are indebted to the Hon. Charles Hudson,
of Mass., for a copy of his able speech on the Mex
ican War. He talks as a statesman and a patriot
should, and appeals to the good sense and correct
feelings of the country, and not to the worst pas-
Mons of our nature, as do 1:110131 of the ranting
demagogues on the floor of Congress."
The following are extracts from the speech
above alluded to by Mr.- Knabb
" And has it come to this, that, all debate is to
be suppressed in this Hall—that freedom of speech
is to be denied to the Representatives of a free
people ? A doctrine more despotic was never ad
vanced. According to this doctrine, if the Pre
sident, led on by vain ambition, or by a treason
able desire to raise himself to a throne on the ruins
of our free Government, has the wickedness to tram
ple upon the prerogatives of Congress, and corn.
mence an unjust war with a foreign Power, we
are to submit in silence, because hostilities have al
ready commenced. We are to stand by in meek
submission, and see our rights invaded and the
property and lives of our citizens wantonly sacrificed,
because a drilled majority of political partisans
may have succeeded in pressing through Con
gress, without debate, an endorsement of Execu
tive usurpation. I say, sir, .1 will countenance
no such doctrine; I will submit to no such dogma.
Under the peculiar circumstances of the case I
will speak, and speak as freely this day as I
would have spoken on Monday last. And though
the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Douglas) very
modestly brands those as cowards Who voted
against the declaration of war, (Mr: Hudson was
one of the number wbo he thus voted,) I will
assure him that I have the moral courage to speak
my own sentiments."
"But we are told by gentlemen on this floor,
that it is treason to appose the Government in time
of war. Sir, .1 have no sympathy with that das
tardly sentiment. What l has it come this, that
a weak or wicked Executive may navy power, and
involve the nation in an unjust war, and an un
scrupulous majority may press through the
House, without debate, a bill sanctioning that ini
quitous procedure, and then all mouths must be
closed on the subject ? Is it treason to point out
the faults of a corrupt Administration 9 Are we to
submit in all things to the will of the President, If
so, we have nothing of liberty left but the name.
We are already under a despotism. Such doctrines
may answer for corrupt sycophants, who bow to
the Executive for place, but they are unworthy of
freemen. 1 protest against all snob corrupt and
corrupting sentiments. Treason to speak against
the measures of the Administration, because we are
at War I"
See Appendix lo Congressional Globe, from
page 312, to 316, for the complete speech, defl-
Tered ihy 14, 1846.]
The speech, from which the above are extracts,
was pronounced by Mr. .Kaabb (as is shown
above) an able one_ Mr. Knelb did not hesitate
to declare that Mr. Hudson and "talks as a states
man andpatriot should," and in substance acknowl
edged that he had no sympathy with the dastardly
sentiment, that it is treason to oppose the Govern
ment in time of war ! Those, therefore, who had
"opposed the Government" in the most flagrant
manner went lauded as "statesmen and patriots;"
but such as had upheld the Government were de
nounced as "ranting demagogues" by Mr.
Knabb. This speech against the Government
(fully approved of by Mr. Knabb), you will
please bear in mind, was delivered during Pre
sident Polk's Democratic administration, when
every freeman, in and out of Congress, express
ed himself against the Government, without the
slightest fear el' being arbitrarily arrested and
thrown into a hostile or fort. During the pre
sent war the pure and immaculate Mr. Knabb has
been in the habit of stigmatizing Democrats as
Copperheads, Traitors, Tories, Ac., for using
less harsh epithets against the wicked Abolition
administratiot of President Lincoln, than are
contained in the above extracts; printing-offices
have been mobbed and destroyed for employing
less violent language, and freemen have been
imprisoned is forts, hostiles, &c., by order of
the Government for less offensive expressions
than eon be found in the speech of Mr. Iludeon,
which was fully endorsed by Mr. Knabb, of the
Journal, as en able, statesmanlike and patriotic
production.
The readers of the Journal will also doubtless
recollect that its editor, on the 25th of April
last, in speaking of the Democratic meeting,
held several days previously in the Court House,
denounced it as "one of 6•'t6 Mett( infanina and
disgraceful assemblages ever held in Berko county—
opposed to the war—opposed to the Government, 4-e."
Let his readers contrast the sentiments pervad
ing the proceedings Of laid Meeting with those
expressed by Mr. Hudson and endorsed by Mr.
Knabb, and then pronounce impartially whether
Mr. Knabb is the proper person, or whether be
had not, mnoh better permit some one less culpa
ble than himself, • to brand as traitors, tories, cop
perheads, 4e., his.neighbors, who always have
boon and are now, to say the least, Nuttily as
rod (if not better) patriots as himself; although
not as " loyal" as he is to President Lincoln's
despotic _bolition administration. Possibly Mr.
Knabb may have become one of those "corrupt
sycophants, who hew to the Executive for place"—
and may now hold doctrines (formerly despised
by himself and Mr. Hudson) which "are unloarthy
of freemen."
You also, Mr. Getz, have been censured for
favoring " peace measures " by this pure and
spotless editor, Mr. Knabb—thepaoiol (?) who,
with Mr. Hudson during the Mexican War,
maintained that it was not treason to oppose the
Government in time of War, and avowed that he
bad no sympathy with suck a dastardly sentiment.
Does Mr. Knabh forget that in the Journal of
°etcher 10th, 1846, be informed his readers OW,
the then approaching election amounted to a
Presidential issue, and that one of the questions
to be decided was .•PEAcr, veinst WAR;" and
septembtr tislb, 1847, Mr. Knabb declared in
the Journal, WE ARE GLAD TO HAVE
PEACE—ON ANY TERMS!" According 10
Mr. Kuabb's reasoning, a man, (provided he i 5
a part6ssa) who &bora " peace" at the present
time, is a tory, traitor, secessionist, copperhead, fc
but if he held similar opinions during the M,:x
teen War be was pure and unadulterated patriot
Out upon suet bigots and hypocrites 1 X.
POSTSCRIPT
MR. GwTz :—lf it is not trespassing too much on
your columns, please add to the communication
sent yon lust week the following rejoinder to Mr.
linabb's reply of loot Saturday :
Mr. Knabb hypocritically thanks me for re pre.
adding certain editorial artloleP, published in the
Journal during the Alex:eau War and nays that
therein he denounced President Polk for permit
ting Santa Ana to return to Mexico, &c., and
boaetingly declares, that he is proud of flo e°
articles and heartily re-endorses every word
I therein contained," and that he " from first to '
last stood by the country and the Government."
To show how little regard Mr. Knabb has for Lhe
truth, I will merely refer his readers to the arti
cles in question. published in the Journal of May
23d. 1:346 and January 2d, 1847, which were re
produced in the Gazette of August 29th last. In
those articles Mr. Knabb made no reference What
ever to President Polk's permitting Santa Ana's
I return to Mexico.
Again, wby, if Mr. Knabb feels so well satis
fied with hie coarse of conduct during the Mex
ican War, does be intimate that he will introduce
retaliatory measures by re-producing articles
published in the Gazette, which are entirely
foreign to the question at issue—altogether pri
vate difficulties between yourself and one of
your neighbors? Mr. Knabb dreads to have his
conduct during the Mexican War contrasted with
his present course towards those who hold dif
ferent views from him or the present despotic
Abolition administration of Abraham Lincoln.
Mr. Knabb has not the heart to republish the
Journal articles already alluded to, side by side
with any editorial article he may wiah to select,
which appeared in the Gazette during the present
rebellion. Re dare not do it, although he pre
tends to "heartily re-endorse every word therein
contained." Mr. Knabb may think that he can
deter you from republishing his Mexican War
editorials by intimating that he will publish
private matters. I. 'think he will not succeed
The Gazette could touch upon other little private
affairs, which might prove to be rather unplea
sant in certain circles.
Mr. Knabb brags that " from first to last he
stood by the country and the Government " dur
ing the Mexican War. How does his boasting
agree with hie acts? I would again refer hie
readers to Mr. Budeou'e speech, alluded to in
the foregoing communication. Mr. Knabb de
clared it to be an " able speech on the Mexican
War;" that be "talks as a statesman and a pat
riot should, a-c." Finally, Mr. Knabb is welcome
to republish ally article, written by me at any
period for the Journal, and I pledge myself to
you, Mr. Getz, that I will never utter a word of
complaint. But should Mr. Kuehl) attempt to
mislead or deceive the public with any spurious
or illegilltnale article, he may look out for squalls.

Kr TIM CORN MIL -S rONE OF CHRIST CLICIRCII.
North Stith street, now being greatly enlarged and beau
tified, was re-laid, with appropriate religious ceremonies,
on Sunday afternoon last, in the presence of a large con
gregation of our citizens The ceremonies commenced at
4 o'clock, P. M., and were conducted by the Rector of the
Parish, Rev. Alex. G. Cummins, assisted by the Rev. Ed
mund Leaf of Douglassville, and the Rev Henry 8. Getz,
a former parishioner of Christ Church, now Rector of the
Episcopal Church at Smyrna, Delaware. The Clergy, in
their robes, the Wardens and Vestrymen, and the Choir,
had seats upon a platform, in front of the Church. The
atone used was the corner-atone of the old Church edifice,
which was erected in the year 1825, and a portion of the
walls of which are atilt standing. It was placed in
an angle el the Northern buttress, about six loot from
the level of the ground. The cavity of the etono was
filled with a copper-box, hermetically sealed, in which the
following articles were previously deposited: A copy of
the Holy Bible; Book of Common Prayer; a Record
on parchment of the names of the Rector, Assistant Min
ister, Wardens and Vestry, contributors to the Church •
Improvement, Superintendents of the Sunday Schools,
Treasurer, Organist, Architect, (E. T. Potter, Esq., of N.
Y., son of the Bishop of this Diocese), contractors for the
stone front, contractors for the rear extension, Building
Committee,. and Beaton Journal of the lost Diocesan
Convention; a card containing the order of Church Ser
vices throughout the year; the by-laws of the Church; a
list of the chief Executive Officere of the Pederaland State
Governments; copies of the last issues of the Episcopal
Recorder, Church Journal, and Reading Daily Times,
Journal and Gazelle; a Historical Sketch of Christ
Church, by Mr. James Wall, author of the series of ••City
Sketches ?? which have appeared in the Times. Also, a
silver Dollar, half Dollar, quarter Dollar, Dime, half Dime,
three-cent piece, and a nickel cent, all of the coinage of
1863. The following coins, which were found in the old
corner-stone when it was uncovered (all the other con
ten= having =mildewed away) were re-placed in the new
box, viz : a Dollar of DOI, half Dollar of 1811, Quarter of
1813, Dime of 1521, cent of 1825, sad half-cent of 1804.
The work upon the improvement of the Church bepro
greasing rapidly. The front, of Betts county sandstone,
already begins to loom up in the imposing beauty of its
pure (}ethic architecture; and the addition to the rear,
including a specifies chancel and transepts, is fact assum
ing its proper shape. The whole, when completed, will
make Christ Church decidedly the finest Ecclesiastical
edifice in our city. The contractors promise to have
it ready for re-occupancy by the first of December next.
