DISELOSO3 OP ISIPPATDPIPIVEL
When the misguided and 'imprudent votary of pleasure
finds that he has imbibed the seeds of this painful disease,
it too often happens that an 511-timed sense of shame, or
dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those who,
from education and respectability, can alone befriend him,
delaying till the constitutional symptoms of this horrid
disease make their appearance, such as ulcerated sore
throat, diseased nose, nocturnal pains in the bead and
limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes on the shin-bones
and arms, blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro
grassing with frightful rapidity, till at last the palate of
the mouth et the banes of the nose fall in, and the victim
of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of commis
eration, till death puts a period to his dreadful sufferings,
by sending him to that Undiscovered Country from
whence no traveller returns."

WOODWARD AND HIS DEFAMERS.
THE ISSUE MADE AND MET.
The adveeates of Abolitionism, the Opponents
of the Constitution, the Northern enemies of the
Union, unable to accomplish their designs by ar
gument, and to cajole the people longer by their
spurious promises, have resorted to abuse.-
- Unable to discover one single flaw in the spotless
private character of Judge Woodward, or to
specify one single fault of omission or commission
in his useful and brilliant career, the mouth
pieces of Abolition have taken a still lower step
in degradation, and from abuse they have de
scended to calumny.
With the current of public opinion setting
overwhelmingly against them, they_ have at
tempted, in their despair, to strike down, with
one blow, the fair fame, the private character
and the public reputation of George W. Woodward
—to deny to the upright Judge, to the enlight
ened, far-sighted, Union-loving statesman, to the
valuable citizen, to the pure, able, conscientious
man, to the accomplished gentleman, the highest
civic virtue, that virtue without which all others
are useless or worse than useless—loyalty to his
enutry in this her hour of need. They have
ventured to accuse Judge Woodward of seces
sionism They have done it with the deliberate
intent to deceive the people, to delude both
civilians and soldiers into the support of their
own partizans, to divert attention from their own
misdeeds, their own schemes and projects, and
to attain success by falsehood_ Vain attempt!
Impotent malignity !
Let the record tell the story and reveal the
truth. The charges against the Democracy—the
Conservatives—and their candidate, made by
several of their speakers at a recent Abolition
gathering in this city, are as follows :
" I am intimately acquainted with that gentle
man (Judge Woodward, with whom the epealter
never had five minutes' conversation, and who
had never exchanged a word with him for five
years). Without imputation on his character (I)
could we call John C. Calhoun from his grave,
and make him Governor of Pennsylvania, he
could not better carry out his designs than Judge
Woodward himself.
" Judge Woodward is an avowed secessionist.
Vallandidam and Fernando Wood are no more
committed to unconditional peace than Judge
Woodward. Indeed, he his even of late de
nounced his own party for embracing the warlike
opinions of the day.
" While Alexander Stephens was in Georgia,
denouncing secession, Woodward was teaching
that it is right and proper—ordained of God.
"Barring his (Judge Woodward's) private
character, when the Democratic party nominated
him they threw us a challenge to give the Presi
dency of this country to Jeff. Davis.
" The candidates placed by the Democratic
party are pledged to the very sentiments for
which the secessionists have'made 'hie cruel war
upon the country.
"If Judge Woodward is elected, this Common
wealth is virtually sold out to the South."
So much for his slanderers. Now for the prin
ciples of Woodward—his devotion to the Union.
His words come to us like an echo from the
grave at the Hermitage, or at Marshfield, or at
Ashland, or at Mount Vernon. They were spo
ken on the occasion of the erection of the monu
ment to Governor Shunk, at the Trappe, Mont
gomery county, July 4, 1861:
" These Slates are glorious in their individu
ality, but their oolleallie glories are in the Union.
By all means, at all hazards, are they to be
maintained in their integrity and the full measure
of their constitutional rights—for only so is the
Union to be preserved—only SO is it worth pre
serving. It is the perfection of the prismatic
colors, which, blended, produce the ray of light.
It is the completeness of these assembled sover
eignties, lacking nothing which they have not
lent fir a great purpeee, that makes the Union
precious. This word Union is a word of gracious
omen. It implies confidence and affection—mu
tual support and protection against external
dangers. It is the chosen expression of the
strongest passion of young hearts. It is the
charmed circle within which the family dwells.
It is man helping his fellow-man in this rugged
world. It is States, perfect in themselves, con
federated for mutual advantage. It is the people
of States, separated by lines, and interests, and
institutions, and usages, and laws, all forming
one glorious nation—all moving onward to the
same sublime destiny, and all instinct with a
common life_ Our fathers pledged their Hem
their fortunes, and their sacred honors to form
this Union—let ours be' pledged to maintain it.
"Here in the shadow of this venerable temple,
amidst the graves of the Mublenberge and over
that of. Shunk, let us renew our vows of alle
giance and devotion—let us look yonder to Valley
Forge, and yonder to Germantown, and yonder
to Brandywine—let us recall the blood poured
Out on all the other battle fields—let us think of
the treasured dust of our heroes, and patriots
and martyrs—let us remember the achievements
of our arms, by land and sea, and the growth and
prosperity of our country, and then, looking for
ward to the exalted position among the nations
of the earth to which we are hastening, let us
swear one to another, by all the memories of the
past, by all the glories of the present, by all the
hopes of the future, that the States as they are,
and the Union 6.6 it 15, 'Melt Ann tataiii. BE run-
SERVED. "
And again, at the Union meeting held Decem—
ber 13, 1860, in Independence Square, called by
the Mayor and Coupons of Philadelphia, Judge
Woodward thus pleaded for the Union. (This
meeting was at the time denounced and ridiculed
by the Abolitionists :).
" Here on this consecrated spot of earth, where
the foundations were laid of the best Government
the world ever saw, let us renew our vows to the
Union, and send salutations to our brethren.
Talk not of secession--go not rashly out of the
Union—dim no star of our glorious flag—give us
time to place ourselves right with regard to your
peculiar institution,' and to roll book the cloud
that now obscures, for the moment, our devotion
to the Union as it is. Speak thus to the South
ern States, and follow our words by fitting deeds,
and Pennsylvania can stop secession, or cure it,
if it occurs. We can win back any State that
may stray off, if only we can prove our own
loyalty to the Constitution and the Union as our
fathers formed them.
"And would it not be a proud page in the
history of Pennsylvania that should record the
rescue of the American Union from impending
ruin by the prompt, glorious, united action of the
people of Pennsylvania? That great glory may
be ours. Let us grasp it ere it be forever too
late."
Let his opponents show one word, one aot in
Judge Woodward's whole life, to contradict these
glorious utterances. Now, let us apply, with
strict impartiality, to Judge Woodward and to
his defamers, the soundest of all tests, " By their
fruits ye shall know them." Let us see how
those acted who are most affected by the influen
ces of the next Governor of Pennsylvania, and
by thole of his opponents. In 1861, the people,
the Democracy of the United States, assured by
congress and by the Administration that 6 g the
SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1863.
war is to be conducted solely for the restoration
of the Union," that "the rights of the States
shall be preserved unimpaired," and that "the
status of slavery in the States where it now ex
ists shall not be disturbed," rushed to the field.
Among the most prompt to fight in such a cause
was a son of Judge Woodward, Captain (now
Colonel) Geo. A. Woodward. Another son also
entered the service when the soil of Pennsylvania
was invaded. ilis nephew is also in the service.
Now, what is Judge Woodward's opinion of the
course adopted by his eons and by Colonel Bid
dle, the Chairman of the Democratio State Com
mittee, who resigned his position to raise a regi
ment for the defence of Pennsylvania? Let him
speak for himself:
, g Ron. Charles T. Biddle:
"Dear Sir: I have received the COMMIIIIIOIL—
don of your wish to resign the position of
Chairman of the Democratio Slate• Central Com
mittee in order to give, as a private soldier, or
in any sphere that may be open to you, your
whole exertions for the defence of our invaded
Commonwealth.'
" As the Chairmanship was accepted by you
with the express understanding that it was not
to prevent your compliance with any call to
military service that you might deem obligatory
upon you, I cheerfully consent, so far as I have
any interest in your movements, to your resort
to arms in defence of the State. Indeed, much
as I should regret to lose your services at the
head of the Committee, I nevertheless earnestly
desire you to go, and, if possible, to take with
you men enough to expel the invaders from our
borders.
"The Governor's Proclamation of the 26th
inst.; is a specific demand for BOAS defence.
' You will be mustered into the service of the
State,' he says, for the period of ninety days:
but will be required to serve only so much of the
period of the muster as the safety of our people
and honor of our State may require.'
"There ought to be such an instant uprising
of young men, in response to this call, as shall
be sufficient to Rasura the public safety, and to
teach the world that no hostile foot can, with im
punity, tread the soil of Pennsylvania.
I am, very truly, yours,
" GEORGB W. WOOBWAED•
" Philadelphia, June 29, 1863."
And again—and let us mark well his senti
ments—they come to us from the Bench which he
adorns by his independence, dignity and ability.
In his decision affirming the constitutionality of
the soldiers' stay law, which protects their pro
perty during their term of service, and thirty
days after, from executions issued by superla
tively ttloyal " creditors, he gam
" Yet it is impossible to separate this question
of reasonableness from the actual circumstances
in which the country found itself at the date of
the lair, Eleven states had seceded or revolted
from the Federal Union, and had set up an inde
pendent Government within the jurisdiction of
the Constitution of the United States, and armed
possession had been taken of forts, arsenals,
austom.houses, navy yards, and other property
of the United States within the boundaries of the
revolted States. In the judgment of the Presi
dent and Congress, who were the duly constitu
ted authorities, the occasion required an immense
increase of the army and navy, and the active
employment of both of these strong arms to sub
due the rebellion and restore the Union. Ac
cordingly, Congress authorized the President to
accept volunteers, and to call upon the States for
their militia. lie did both, and a vast army has
been in the field for many months.
"Now, if a stay of execution for three years
would not be tolerated in ordinary times, did not
these circumstances constitue an emergency that
justified the pushing of legislation to the ex
tremest limit of the Constitution? No citizen
could be blamed for volunteering. He was in.
yoked to do so by appeals as strong as his love
of country. ' In the nature of things there ie
nothing unreasonable in exempting a soldier's
property from execution whilst he is absent from
home battling for the supremacy of the Constitu
tion and the integrity of the Union. And when
he Lae not run before he was sent, but has yielded
himself up to the call of his country, his self
sacrificing patriotism pleads, trumpet-tongued,
for all the indulgence from his creditors which
the Legislature have power to grant, If the
term of indulgence seem long in this instance, it
was not longer than the time for which the Pre
sident and Congress demanded the soldier's ser
vices. It was not for him, nor is it for us, to
rejudge the discretion of the President and
Congress in this regard. Basing ourselves on
what they did, constitutionally, the question for
us is, whether the stay granted by our own Leg•
islature to our citizen soldiers was unreasonable.
In view of the extraordinary eireumetaneee of
the case, we cannot pronounce it unreasonable.
We see in it no wanton or careless disregard of
the obligation of contracts, but only a sincere
effort to enable the general Government to pro
secute with success a war which, in its exclusive
right of judgment, it resolved to wage.
" Another circumstance which bears on the
romutiblenees et the automat is the prevision
which suspends all statutes of limitation in favor
of the soldier during all the time that he is ex
empted from process. The provisions were re
ciprocal and both were reasonable."
Now the DenteCratle party have nominated
Judge Woodward as the representative of their
principles, the twelfth resolution of their plat—
form declaring—
.. That while this General Assembly condemns
and denounces the faults of the Administration
and the encroachments of the Abolitionists, it
does, also, most thoroughly oondemn and de
Bounce the heresy of secession as unwarranted
by the Constitution, and destructive alike of the
security and perpetuity of Government and of
the peace and liberty of the people, and it does
hereby most solemnly declare that the people of
this State are unalterably opposed to any division
of the Union, and will persistently exert their
whole influence and power, under the Constitu
tion, to maintain and defend it."
And yet, such eharges are made against him I
—made by men who never have been in the field,
and who bad no kindred there; who contented
themselves with plastering the streets of Phila
delphia with huge posters, calling for volunteers,
headed "Actions, not words," and limited their
own services to such safe work. Is luxurious
ease, in the rooms of the "League," they loudly
declaimed that "to crush this unholy rebellion
they would be willing to shed the last drop of
blood," taking care not to shed the first drop;
and if they did mean to be liberal at all in offer
ing to shed blood, it was probably like Artemue
Ward's offer of " all the blood in the veins of
hie able-bodied male relatives." And while they
were thus occupied, Judge Woodward had re•
signed his eons to defend his State and his de
famers. No defamation of him and of his sup
porters then! But now the danger is past, and
they are safe ; and now they denounce their de
fenders as " secessionists!"
With what feelings must these gallant sons
listen to these calumnies on their honored father I
With what feelings must the people of Pennsyl
vania be inspired, as they reflect on the baseness
which dictated the\a I—The Age.
pr` IT IS a remarkable fact, that although
COMB/011 sheep delight in verdant fields, religious
Hooke are not anxious for green pastors.

Significant Extract from his Inaugural
Address.
"I do but quote from one of my speeches
when I declare that 'I have no purpose, directly
or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of
Slavery in the States where it exists. I believe
I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no
inclination to do so.' Those who nominated and
elected me did so with full kdowledge that I had
made this and many similar declarations, and
had never recanted them.
" I now reiterate these sentiments ; and in do
ing so, I only press upon the public attention
the most conclusive evidence of which the ease
is susceptible, that the property, peace, and
security of no section are to be in any wise en—
dangered by the now incoming Administration.
I add, too, that all the protection which, con
sistently with the Constitution and laws, can be
given, will be cheerfully given to all the States,
when lawfully demanded, for whatever cause—
as cheerfully to one section as to another. *
* * * I take the official oath to-day
with no mental reservations, and with no pur—
pose to construe the Constitution and laws by
any hypocritical rules."
PRESIDENT LINCOLN IN 1863
The Spririgteld Letter.
EXEOUTIVI6 M ANSION,
Washington, August 26th.
Ilona loineo C Conning ;
MT DEAR B/R :—Your letter inviting me to at
tend a mass meeting of unconditional Union men,
to be held at the capital of Illinois, on the 3d
day of September, has been received. It would
be very agteeable to Me thus to most my old
friends at my own home, but I cannot just now
be absent from this city so long as a visit there
would require.
The meeting is to be of all those who maintain
unconditional devotion to the Union, and I am
sure my old political friends will thank me for
tendering, as I do, the nation's gratitude to those
other noble men whom no partisan malice or
partisan hope can make false to the nation's life.
There aro those who are dissatisfied with me.'
To such I would say: You desire peace, and you
blame me that we do not have it. But how can
we obtain it ? There are but three conceivable
ways : First, to suppress the rebellion by force
of arms. This I am trying to do. Are you for
it? If you are, so far we are agreed. If you
are not for it, we are not agreed. _ .
A second way is to give up the Union. lam
against this. If you are, you should say so
plainly. If you are not for force, nor yet for
dissolution, there only remains some imaginary
compromise. I do not believe that any com
promise embracing the maintenance of the Union
is now possible. All that I learn leads to direct
ly the opposite belief: The strength of the re
bellion is its military, its army. That army
dominates all the country and all the people
within its range. Any offer of terms made by
any man or men within that range, in opposition
to that army, is simply nothing, for the present,
because such man or men have no power what
ever to enforce their side of the compromise, if
one were made with them. To illustrate : Sup
pose a refugee from the South and the peace
men of the North get together in convention and
frame and proolaim a compromise embracing a
restoratiott of the Union, in what way can that
compromise be used to keep Gen. Lee's army out
of Pennsylvania?
Gen. Meade's army can keep Lee'e army out
of Pennsylvania, and I think oan ultimately
drive it out of existence ; but no paper com
promise to which the controllers of General Lea's
army are not agreed, can at all affect that army.
In an effort at such compromise, we would waste
time which the enemy would improve to our dis
advantage, and that would be all. A comprom
ise to be effective must be made either with
those who control the army, or with the people
first liberated from the domination of that army
by the success of our army.
Now, allow me to MONO you that no word or
intimation from the rebel army, or from any of
the men controlling it, in relation to any peace
compromise, has over come to my knowledge or
belief. All charges and intimations to the con
trary are deceptive and groundless, and I prom
ise you that if any such proposition shall here
after come, it shall not be rejected and kept
secret from you.
I freely acknowledge myself to be the servant
of the people, according to• the bond of service
—the United States Constitution—and that as
such, I am responsible to them. But, to be plain,
you are dissatisfied with me about the negro.
Quite likely there is a difference of opinion be—
tween you and myself upon that subject. I cer
tainly wish that all men could be free, while you,
I suppose, do not. Yet I have neither adopted
nor proposed any measure which is not consist
ent with even your own views, provided you are
for the Union.
I suggested compensated emancipation, to
which you replied that you wished not to be
taxed to buy tie/green. But I had not asked yen
to be taxed to buy negroes, except in such a way
as to save you from greater taxation to save the
Union exclusively by other means. You dislike
the emancipation proclamation, and, perhaps,
you want to have it retracted. You say it is
unconstitutional; I think differently. I think
that the Constitution invests its commander-in
chief with the law of war in time of war. The
most that can be said, if so much, is that slaves
are propqrty.
Is there, has there ever been any question that
by the Iliws of war the property, both of enemies
and friends, may be taken when needed? and is
it not needed whenever taking it helps us or hurts
the enemy I Armies, the world over, destroy the
enemy's property when they cannot use it, and
even destroy their own to keep it from the
enemy. Civilized belligerents do all in their
power to help themselves or hurt the enemy, ex
cept a few things recorded as barbarous or cruel.
Among the exceptions are the massacre of van
quished foes and non-combatants, male and fe
male.
But the proclamation as a law is valid or is
not valid. If it is not valid, it needs no retrac
tion. If it is valid, it cannot be retracted any
more than the dead can be brought to life. Some
of you profess to think that its retraction would
operate favorably for the Union. Why better
after the retraction than before the issue There
was more than a year and a half for trial to sup
press the rebellion before the proclamation was
issued, the last one hundred days of which passed
under explicit notice that it was coming, unless
averted by those in revolt returning to their
allegiance. The war has certainly progressed
as favorably for us since the issue of the procla
mation as before. I know, as fully as one man
can know the opinions of others, that some of
the commanders of our armies in the field, who
have given us our most important victories be
lieve that the emancipation policy and the aid
of the colored troops, constitute the - heaviest
blows yet dealt to the rebellion, and that at least
one of those important successes could not have
been achieved when it was but for the aid of the
black soldiers.
Among the commanders holding these views
are some who have never had any affinity with
what is called abolitionism, or with republican
party politics, but who hold them purely as mil
itary opinions. I submit their opinions as being
entitled to some weight against the objections
often urged that emancipation and the arming of
the blacks are unwise as military measures, and
were not adopted as such in good faith.
You say that you will not fight to free negroes.
Some of them seem to be willing to fight for you ;
but no matter—fight you then exclusively to
save the Union. I issued the proclamation on
purpose to aid you in saving the Union. When
ever you shall have conquered all resistance to
the Union, if I shall urge you to continue fight
ing it will be an apt time then for you to declare
that you will not fight to free negroes.
{VOL. XXIV-NO. 22.-WHOLE NO. 1986.
I thought that in your struggle for the Union,
whatever extent the negro should cease help
ng the enemy, to that, extent it, weakens the
enemy in his resistance to you. Do you think
differently! I thought that whatever negroes
can be got to do as soldiers, leaves just so much
less for white soldiers to do in saving the Union.
Does it appear otherwise to you ? But negroes,
like other people, not upon motives. Why should
they do anything for us if we do nothing for
them ? If they stake theii lives for us they must
be prompted by the strongest motives, even the
promise of freedom, and the promise being made,
must be kept,
The signs look better. The Father of Waters
again goes unvexed to the sea, thanks to the
great Northwest for it; nor yet wholly to them.
Three hundred miles up they met New England,
the Empire, Keystone, and New Jersey, hewing
their way right and left. The sunny south, too,
in more colors than one, also lent a hand on the
spot. Their part of history was jotted down in
black and white. The goal was a great nation
al one, and let none be hanned who bore an
honorable part in it, while those who have
cleared the great river may well be proud. .
Even that is not all. It is hard to say that
anything has been more bravely and better done
than at Antietam, Murfreesboro, Gettysburg ;
and on many fields of less note.
Nor must Uncle Sam's web feet be forgotten.
At all the water margins they have been pres
ent, not only on the deep sea, the broad bay,
the rapid river, but also up the narrow, muddy
bayou, and wherever the ground was a little
damp, they have been and made their tracks.
Thanks to all, for the great republic, for the
principles by which it lives and kelps alive far
man's vast future! Thanks to all!
Peace does not appear BO distant as it did. I
hope it will come soon, oo'me to stay and so come
as to be worth the keeping in all future time. It
Will then have been proved that among freemen
there can be no successful appeal from the bal-
lot to the bullet, and that they who take such
an appeal are sure to loge their ease and pay the
cost. And then there will be some black men
who can remember that with silent tongues, and
clenched teeth, and steady eye, and well-poised
bayonet, they have helped mankind onto this
great consummation, while I fear that there will
be some white men unable to forget that with
malignant heart and deceitful speech they have
striven to hinder it. Still, let us not be over
sanguine of a speedy and final triumph. Let us
be quite sober; let us diligently apply the
means, never doubting that a just God, in Hie
own good time, will give us the rightful result.
Yours, very truly,
A. LINCOLN.
LETTER FROM MR. BUCKALEW,
To the Meeting at Hughesville, East
ern Lycoming, August 22d, 1863• .
GENTLEMEN OH LYCOMING :—Yon are to be
commended for assembling yourselves as men
opposed to the administrations at Harrisburg and
Washington, and I am glad to contribute to
your proceedings the expression of some few
earnest. words:
An issue between power and liberty is dis
tinctly presented to us by the policy of our
rulers, and if we stand indifferent to it, or ac
quiesce in its decision according to the pleasure
of those who aspire to be our masters, what
shame will be ours ! what loss and injury ! what
degradation and eternal disgrace
By liberty I do not mean Hoene°, but that
regulated freedom established by our ancestors
which we have enjoyed hitherto without question,
and the example of which we have held forth
proudly before other nations as the reproof of
their systems and the glory of our own.
By power I do no not mean legitimate authori
ty, but authority usurped and lawless, pursuing
its own ends over a broken :Constitution and
through the baleful flames of civil war.
Between these—between power and liberty—
can you hesitate in your choice? Will you hold
up a balance and weigh, doubtfully, the argu
ments which sustain liberty against those who
oppose it.?
Necessity—safety.—are these the magical
words by which despotism is to be changed in
character and made fit for our adoption? Shall
the plea of tyrants be accepted as our standard
of public rule? Shall we concede force, and
justice, and wisdom, to ono of the moat impu—
dent, false and injurious doctrines ever intruded
into the discussion of public affairs ?
But there is a necessity (quite different. from
that asserted on behalf of power) which we must
now admit as most evident and urgent—a ne
cessity that we rid ourselves of those who plead ne
cessity as the justification of their misdeeds. Those
who cannot govern lawfully and justly are not
to govern at all, but to give plane to others. For
it is monstrous to say that the incapable and
vicious shall lord it over their fellows. • The
rulers who say they cannot govern by law and
according to right, stand self- condemned. Judged
out of their own mouths, they are unfit for rule
and should be voted out. of power.
Gentlemen, the greatest eon of New England

history with the founder of this State—with the
illustrious man who established it." in deeds of

judgment of that great man. Let us invite the
apologist of arbitrary power and advocate of
" strong government, who fills our ears with
impassioned discourse upon public safety, and
national life, and necessity, to go with us to our
great commercial metropolis and there stand
with us beside the modest slab which marks the
resting place of "Benjamin and Deborah Frank

utterly false and detestable will there sound all
these apologies for wrong—all these pretexts
for stealing away, or taking away from the peo
ple the rights and liberties achieved for them by
the great men of former times! We will hear

Gentlemen, your political opponents think
that patriotism should be called loyalty, and
made to consist in unconditional, unquestion
ing devotion to an administration of the gov
ernment. I believe you will agree with me that
this great virtue requires no new name borrowed
from the literature of monarchy; that it is
shown in devotion to the Constitution and laws
of the United States and of the several States,
and that the true patriot regards public officials
With a respect precisely proportioned to their
obaerViltiee of law, justice and right, and to their
skill, wisdom and honesty in the performance of
their public duties.
Judge your public men fairly but freely. Let
no man put a padlock upon your lips, nor im
pose upon you any of the false and pernicious
sophiems of arbitrary power.
An important election approaches in this Com
monwealth, and another important one succeeds
it next year. At these you are required to
judge those who have ruled or misruled you
since 1860, and to determine, as far es your votes
will go, the policy of the future. You need no
labored exhortation from me to inspire you with
* Works of Franklin, by Sparks, v. 111, pp. 107, 429, 430.
This was the declaration of the Provincial Assembly of
Penneylvania, November 11, 1755, in answer to Governor
Morris, upon the question of exempting Proprietary prop
erty from taxation. Despite the act of Indian depredations
in the border settlements and the danger otextended hos
tilities the Assembly refuted an appropriation of money
for military purposes unless the same should be raised or
repaid in &just manner, by placing the burden equally
upon the property and resources of the colony. Equality
of - taxation as an essential principle of liberty was then
merely vindicated by the men of renuaylvania, and mil&
tarp necessity was plead to them in vain as a reason for
surrendering or waiving their rights as freemen, and bend
ing their backs to a burden of injustice. Dr. Pranklinwas
a member of the Assembly' and prepared most of the doc

discharge of your electoral duties. Behold the
evils which atiliot the nation and the dangers

art of mine, to right action, and justify that
opinion which we hold in common, that upon
Democratic success in the elections just mention

MORE ARBITRARY ARRESTS.
Unparalleled Outrage on Two Catholic
Prieits.
The Rt. Rev. Bishop Wood, who, our readers
will recollect, was one of the first to raise the
flag of our beloved country in the most promi
nent position in Philadelphia, over the lofty
dome of the Cathedral, and who, we have strong
reason to believe, has received from the War
Department a complimentary testimonial to his
otherwise well•known loyalty, was painfully sur
prised yesterday morning by a visit at his do
micil of two police officers, bearing a warrant for
the arrest of his Chancellor and Secretary, Rev.
Augustine 3. MoConomy, and Rev. James O'-
Reilly, one of the assistants at the Cathedral
Chapel, who has endeared himself to all who
know him by his fidelity and amiability in the
discharge of his official duties, on the most ex
traordinary charge of having conspired with a
certain O'Brien, to them almost entirely
unknown, to overthrow the Government of the
United States by force of arms. The writ was
served with most commendable courtesy by Dep
uty Marshal Jenkins and another officer, whose
name we have not been able to ascertain. The
writ was promptly answered, and the Right
Reverend Bishop accompanied hie basely calum
niated Secretary to discover the grounds on
which this infamous charge was based, and if
need be, bail out the accused. Having secured
the services of Win. L. Hirst, Esq., as their legal
counsellor, they presented thetneelves at the office
of Charles Sargeant, Esq., United States Com
missioner. After a delay of nearly two hours,
they found tnemselies in the United States
Court, in the presence of George A. Coffey, Esq.,
District Attorney for the United States, and
Charles Sergeant, Esq., United States Commis
sioner. John C. Allen, a detective in the service
of the United States Government, was the princi
pal witness. He had deposed, under oath, that
he was in possession of facts sufficient to sub
stantiate the charge of treason against these
reverend gentlemen. His testimony, given un
der too evident embarrassment, was entirely
irrelevant, but at its conclusion he produced a
soiled and lacerated. scrap of paper, whose con
tents formed the basis of this unfounded impu
tation on the loyalty of the reverend gentlemen
accused. It ran thus :
"Csrmainter,, Aug. 23, 1868.
"Mrs. Hagen will please give the bearer, Mr.
O'Brien, board for a few days, and confer a favor
on the Clergy of the Cathedral.
"FATHIR MOCONOMY,
" PATEUSE. VliaillLLY."
This damning evidence of the guilt of the ac
cused, lame and ridiculous as it must appear to .
every sensible man, was easily explained. A
young man who represented himself as a soldier
of the Federal army, who bad lately received his
pay, and had been despoiled by robbers of the
whole amount, and was consequently left entire
ly destitute, called at the residence of the Right
Rev. Bishop, and representing himself as of a
good family in Ireland, appealed in the moat
touching terms to the Rev. James O'Reilly for
some relief in his painful circumstances, assuring
him that whatever he might advance would be
punctually repaid at some future day. Rev. Mr.
O'Reilly having furnished him with the desired
relief, gave him also the fatal note, which we
have transcribed above, to Mrs. Hagen, knowing
that her house was a Meat respectable one, and
that Mr. O'Brien would enjoy there all the com
forts necessary to him, in his apparently desti
tute condition. On this slim and unsatisfactory
basis the writ was issued, which attempted to
brand with the infamy of treason two clergymen,
who, we speak advisedly, are most favorably
known to the public, and whose merits are fully
appreciated by the attaches of the Philadelphia
press, without regard to politics or party.
The sharp:scented detective, Mr. John C. Al
len, having so signally failed to substantiate the
charge, retired, probably to meditate some new'
accusation against the hitherto unstained repu
tation of his fellow-citizens. The District At-.
torney abandoned the case.
We submit it to the candid consideration of
the:pnblio whether it would not be well that our
District Attorney, George A. Coffey, Ecq„ Amid
weigh well the evidence before submitting gen
tlemen heretofore considered as respectable, and
free from every taint of disloyalty, to each a
profoundhumiliation.—P/dla. Age; &pt. 10,1882.
THE TRUE *SPIRIT:
WILL/AN M. ANDERSON, of Ohio, has a brother
upon the Abolition ticket now before the people
of that State. In recently defining his posi
tion as a Democrat, who intended to support the
Democratic nominations, he said :
" From my house and home four have, gone
forth where blood and carnage clothe the
ground in crimson, sounding with death groans.
One of them I shall never see more. He sleeps
the long sleep at Vicksburg. And yet I 'am
called a "Copperhead"—l am a "Butternut"
—I am a blaokhearted traitor, and ought to
be sent to Fort Warren! If Clement L. Yellen
digham wore my direst foe, and Ms opponent my
direst friend, I should vote for him, because - I
prefer the principle of liberty to the price of blood."
The closing sentiment in the Om paragraph
is worthy of the best days of the Republic. It
shows the stuff that the sterling Democracy of
Ohio are made of, and its spirit should be emula
ted by every Delueorat in the COti6tt7. The
men who in all ages resisted the encroachments
of tyranny, and, if called upon to make asacrifioe,
were willing to die for the cause they espoused,
were of the same stamp as the gallant citizen of
Ohio whose words are above quoted.

any form, " Till of late," said she, "they have
