the following inscription, as grammatical as it

It is a pity that Joseph did not think of send
ing us this very civil message just about eigh
teen months ago ; for, on referring to his ac
count, we find that he owes us for subscription
since the 9th of April, 1862. Joseph may think
he has discovered a nice dodge for cheating us
out of our dues, but as President Lincoln has
not yet issued his Proclamation declaring the
payment of debts dae so-called "copperheads "
a treasonable offence, without benefit of habeas
carpus, we shall undertake to teach Joseph to be

OUR FIRST PAGE.
The first page of to day's Gazette =Wine
several political articles of importance, which all
should read. We call attention to them, in regu
lar order as they appear, by briefly quoting their
several headings:
19T..WOODWARD AND EIS DEFAMERS.—A COM
plate vindication of our candidate for Governor
from the libellous accusations which his unscru
pulous Abolition opponents have brought against
his fidelity to the Union.
213. LINCOLN'S SPRINGFIELD LETTER—in which
the determination is boldly expreeSed—iu viola
tion of the pledges given in his Inaugural—to
adhere to the Emancipation Proclamation at all
hazards, and make the abolition of slavery a
condition of peace with the States in rebellion.
Zln. A NOBLE LETTER FROM SENATOR DUCKS.-
LE W, on the issue between Power and Liberty
now presented to the American people. The
warning words he quotes from the writings of the
great FRANKLIN, could not have been more op
portunely introduced.
4rn. MORE ARRITRARY .A.BRESTEI.—An account
of a base and flagrant outrage, recently com•
milted in Philadelphia, under color of legal pro
cess, upon two respectable, law-abiding, loyal "
clergymen.
SIM. THE TRUE SPIRIT.---A glorious example
of the attachment of the Democracy of Ohio to
it the principle of liberty."
HON. HIESTER CLYMER.
Our talented State Senator is gallantly fulfill
ing the pledge he gave to the Convention which
placed in nomination for the Governorship of
Pennsylvania, his worthy competitor, Judge
WOODWARD. Since the canvass has fairly open
ed, he has been almost continually upon the
stump, addressing his fellow-citizens in favor of
the Democratic State Ticket. Beginning with hie
own county, on the 4th of August, he has sue
cessievly addressed the people of Northampton,
Cambria, Juniata, Jefferson, Clinton, Lycoming,
and other counties, at their respective county
seats; and everywhere his impassioned eloquence
and bold enunciation of facts have made a deep
impression. Ile has other appointments ahead,
which will occupy all his time from this until the
election day ; so that, in: case inquiries may be
made for him at home, his friends will under
stand that he is by no means idle, but is doing
yeoman's service for the party in the State at
large.
By the way, we see that the Journal copies a
funny idea from the Chambersto.% Repository,
that Mr. CLYMER is assisting, by his speeches,
to defeat Judge Wooowann ! If this were really
SO, Col. MCCLURE is too tbrewd a politician to
make it known. That's not what's the matter.
It is CLYMER'S home-thrusts at the Curtin mal
administration, that annoy its pensioners, and
they foolishly imagine they can silence him by
insinuating such nonsense as that he is damag
ing the Democratic cause by stumping the State
for WOODWARD.
SCHUYLKILL COUNTY.—The Democracy of
Schuylkill—the daughter of OM Berke—have
nominated the following excellent county ticket,
which they expect to elect by about 3,000 ma
jority :
Assembly—Edward Kerns, Conrad Graber,
Michael Weaver; Prothonotary—Joseph M. Fe•
ger ; Treasurer—Henry J. Hcndler ; Recorder—
Dennis Maher ; Register—Adolphus Dohrtaaun ;
Clerk of Quarter Sessions—Charles A. Rahn ;
County Commissioner—Elijah IV, Zeigler; Di
rector of Poor—Abraham Bressler; County Au
ditor—Benjamin T. Hughes.
We recognize, upon the above ticket, the names
of a number of old friends. Messrs. Kerns,
Graber and Weaver served their constituents
faithfully in the last session of the Legislature.
Col. Feger, the candidate for Prothonotary, is
an original Betts county man, and well known
to all travellers as the popular landlord of one of
the principal Pottsville Hotels. Mr. Hendler,
the candidate for Treasurer, is the editor of the
Jefferson Democrat, the German organ of the
Schuylkill county Democracy ; and Mr. Dohr
mann, the candidate for Register, will be re—
membered by many of our readers as the former
associate editor of the Reading Adler, and many
years ago one of the proprietors of the Orwigeburg
Sawa° dee Voila. We are glad to see that the
Democracy of Schuylkill county, in thus reward
ing their hard-working editors, are living up
to the wholesome rule that " the laborer is wor
thy of his hire."
gar Hos. GZORDE W. WOODWARD, the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, visited Reading
on Monday evening last, on his way to Lancas
ter. He remained here until Tuesday morning,
as the guest of his nephew, Judge W. J. Wood
ward. During the evening, he aocepted an in
vitation to meet his political friends, in an in
formal manner, at Keystone Hall, where a large
number had assembled, anxious to see and take
by the hand the chosen representative of the
great principle of national union upon the basis
of constitutional freedom, which is now so in
sidiously assailed by the pretensions of arbitrary
power. The interview between Judge Weep-
WARD and the people of Reading, which lasted
an hour or two, was mutually pleasant and sat
isfactory. We learn that be was
.very cordially
received by the inhabitants of Sinking Spring,
Wernersville, Womelsdorf, Stouchsburg, Myers
town, Lebanon and other towns on the route to
Lancaster, numbers of whom turned out to bid
him welcome, and express their devotion to the
cause he represents.
DEATH OW HON. RICHARD DRODDEAD. — The
Hon. Richard Brodhead died at his residence in
Boston on Thursday morning. He had, for many
years, taken a prominent part in the public af
fairs of Pennsylvania, having represented Nor
thampton county in the Legislature three years,
the Old - Northampton district in Congress six
years, and Pennsylvania in the United States
Senate six years. Ile was greatly respected as
a good citizen, a man of honest impulses and
striat integrity, and his death will be deeply re
gretted.
THE MASS MEETING AT LANCASTER.—The
great Democratic State Mass Meeting at Lancas
ter, on Thursday, was a monster gathering of
freemen; From fifteen to twenty thousand per
eons were present. Ex-Governor Davin R.
POB.TZII. was President of the meeting, and elo•
quent addresses were delivered by the Hon. J.
Glancy Jones, Hon. Jeremiah S. Black, Hon.
Wm. A. Porter, Hon. Henry Clay Dean, and
others. Judge WOODWARD, our candidate for
Governor, was in Lancaster the same day, as
the guest of Mayor Sanderson.
SUPPORTING THS GOVERNMENT. Lancaster
county is doing nobly in support of the Govern
ment, by sending forward her conscripts by the
thousand to—buy exemptions. The Collector of
Internal Revenue for that county, up to Tuesday
last, had received from 1,170 drafted men the
sum of $351,000 as commutation money. This
looks very enoo tinging for a vigorous prosecu
tion of the war; but as Lancaster gives every
year an Abolition majority of 5,000 and con
tinues Thaddeus Stevens in Congress, it is but
fair that she should be excused from doing the
fighting, without damage to her " loyalty."
Tan MIIII3IB3IPYI Oranno.-4eneral Banks
has issued an order opening the 'Mississippi for
through trade.
MORE PROCLAMATION-MADE
LAW
Another blow has been struck al, the safe
guard of personal liberty, of which even the
British subject cannot be deprived by any pow
er under the Crown ; but which, it seems, may
be taken from the American freeman upon the
flimsiest pretence of f' necessity." At a time
when there is not the shadow of resistance to
the Federal Authority in any of the States not
• •
in actual rebellion—when the Conscription is
being enforced quietly and peaceably—when the
people are submitting, in patience and forbear
ance, to the rule of those who have transcended
their lawful powers almost daily; thus proving that
they would rather suffer a thousand wrongs than
resort to any but lawful means to right them—
when, in short, no circumstanee affecting " the
public safety " in any of the States that adhere
to Lhe Union, seems to require such an arbitrary
etretch of authority,—a proclamation is Weed,
suspending the privilege of the writ of habeas
corpus, and raising the military power to superi
ority over the civil laws everywhere throughout
the United States. This is virtually the effec.. of
the edict; for, although it pretends to limit its
operation to certain specific cases, they are enu
merated in such general and indefinite terms, that
they may be considered as including all in which
the privilege of the suerended . 4 writ of right"
is likely to have been sought. What object is to
be accomplished by this step, at the present
Lime, we are as yet not able to divine. It has
doubtless been taken for a purpose, and that
purpose will, we may suppose, soon be made ap•
parent in some new outrage upon the constite
tional rights of the people. Meanwhile, let
them read the proclamation, and calculate for
themselves, how much of personal liberty will
be left to them, a year hence, if the despotic
plee, * of " military necessity " continues to af
ford the present Administration a justification
for this and similar acts of usurpation :
BY THE PRESIDE-VT OF TILE .UNITED STATES.
A PROCLAMATION.
WnEutAs, The Constitution of the United
States of America has ordained that the privi
lege of the writ of habeas corpus shall net be
suspended, toilette when in cases of rebellion or
invasion the public safety may require it; and
whereas, a rebellion was existing on the third
day of March, 1863, which rebellion is still ex
isting; and whereas, by a statute which was ap
proved on that day, it was enacted by the Senate
and House of 'Representatives, in Congress as
sembled, that during the present insurrection the
President cf the United States, whenever in his
judgment the public safety may require, is au
thorized to suspend the privilege of the writ of I
habeas corpus in any case, throughout the United
States or any part thereof ; and whereas, in the
judgment of the President of the United States,
the public safety does require that the privilege
of the said writ shall now be suspended through
out the United States, in the eases where, by the
authority of the President of the United States,
the military, naval and civil officers of the United
States, or any of them, hold persona under their
command, or in their custody, either as prison
ers of war, spies, alders or abettors of the
enemy, or officers, soldiers or seamen enrolled,
drafted or mustered or enlisted in, or belonging
to the land or naval forces of the United States,
or as deserters therefrom, or otherwise amenable
to military law or the rules and articles of war,
or the rules or regulations prescribed for the
military or naval service by authority of the
President of the United States, or for resisting
a draft, or for any other offence against the mili
tary or naval service:
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, Presi
dent of the United States, do hereby proclaim
or make known to all whom it may concern, that
the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus is sus
pended throughout the United States, in the
several cases before mentioned, and that this
suspension will continue throughout the dura
tion of the said rebellion, or until this procla
mation shall, by a subsequent one to be issued
by the President of the United States, be modi
fied or revoked. And I do hereby require all
magistrates, attorneys and otber civil officers
within the United States, and all officers and
others in the military and naval service of the
United States, to take distinct notice of this sus
pension, and to give it full effect, and all citi
zens of the United States to conduct and govern
themselves accordingly, and in conformity with
the Constitution of the United States and the
laws of Congress, in such cases made and pro-
vided.
In testimony whereof, I hereunto set. my hand
and cause the seal of the United States to be
affixed, this fifteenth day of September, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-three, (1863) and of the Independ
ence of the United States of America the
eighty-eighth.

THE SHODDY CANDIDATE
The lion. 8. A. Purviance was appointed At
torney General by Gov. Curtin at the beginning
of his Administration. After remaining in office
a few months Mr. Purviance resigned, awl in
doing eo he need the following significant lan
guage to the Governor :
"For reasons which appeal to my self-respect I
cannot consent to continue any longer in con
nection with your administration. I, therefore,
tender you my resignation of the Gifu of Attar.
ney - General."
In commenting upon this action of Mr. Par
viance, the Pittsburg Chronicle, a Black Repub
lican journal, thus wrote
"We are not informed yet what these reasons
are ; but enough is known to state that they arise
out of the alleged complicity of the Governor in
those scandalous contract transactions through which
the State has been swindled out of immense sums of
money, and our brace volunteers subjected to a as
. ries of hardships end inconveniences which few but
themselves would have the patience to tolerate,"
TIIS ELICCTION IN 'WILMINGTON, DELAWARR.—
The election on Tuesday for city officers was
conducted quietly and fairly throughout the city.
The result, which we lay before our readers this
morning, is gratifying to every Democrat. We
did not expect to elect a single candidate in the
city; all the Democracy of Wilmington expected
lo secure at this election was the priceless boon
of a free ballot: This was accorded to us. Five
hundred and seventy-six men, who despise tyran.
ny in any and every shape, went up to the bal
lot-boxes and deposited a ballot expressive of
hatred of despotism.
The vote for the Democratic candidate for
Mayor. in 1802 was 273, now it is 509. Then
Mr. Gilpin had 030 majority, now, he has 255.
Then the Democratic candidate for Assessor got
274 votes, and was beaten by a majority of 633 ;
now he gets 576 votes and is beaten by a majori•
ty of 308.— Wilmington Gazette, Sept. 4.
MAJ. GEORGE W. WOODWARD.—Among the
Washington news items in the New York News
we notice the following:
" The camp of the Invalid Corps, at Meridian
Hill, Washington, la under the command of Mej.
George W. Woodward, the eon of the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania. The
corps now comprises nine thousand men. Major
Woodward is engaged in forming them into
regiments."
Major Woodward, although be has distinguish
ed himself in several battles with the rebels, is
nevertheless, like his distinguished father, con
sidered a "Copperhead" by the Abolitionists.
TEE MAINE ELECTION.—It appears, by tele
graph, that the Abolitionists have carried Maine.
No ono expected anything else. Maine has boon
in possession of the niggerhead disunionists for
many years, and it should be no great source
of rejoicing to them that they still hold their
own in that benighted State.
FRUIT GROWERS' CONVENTION..—The annual
meeting of the Fruit Growers' Society of Eastern
Pennsylvania, will be held at Bethlehem, on

He took a lively interest in the welfare of his native

READING LIBRARY COMPANY
An adjourned annual meeting of the Stockholders of the
Beadinge Library Company, was held at their rooms on
Thursday, September 10th, 1863, Wm M. Batas, Seq., in
the Chair.
The Treasurer and Librarian, William H. Strickland,
made hie annual report, which was ordered to be publish
ed, and is as followe:
Treasurer and Librarian's Report
To the Stockholders of the Rending Library Company.
The Treasurer and Librarian respectfully reports :
The receipts and expenditures for the year ending Sep
tember lot, 1563, were its follows, viz:
Receipts—From 92 Stockboldern, $Z per annum, 5160 00
" annual eubtcrlbere, &c., it 1:14
Expendituree—By sundry orders, rent, etc.,
Balance In Treasurer's hands,
Number of new book. purchased during the year, 15
Total number of volumes owned by the Company, 2220
•. taken out by members during year, 2064
Number of persons using the Library,
Daring the past year, the Library has been regularly
opened for the use of members, on Wednesday evening,
and Saturday afternoon and evening of each week, and, as
exhibited by the above statement, the number of volumes
need, almost equals the number owned by the Company.
The new Books purchased during the year, are in gnarl
lily far lase than those of any preceding year, thereby
causing much dleappointment among those who avail
themselves of the use of the Library, and the question is
worthy of consideration whether some extra e-rertion is
not necessary in title reepect to maintain the interest of the
Company.
The large number of young ladies and gentlemen who
visit the rooms when opened. also suggests the proprie•y
and advantage of Increasing their interest in the Company,
by rendering those 'Unite more attractive. A few of the
leading Magazines and other periodicals placed on the
tables se soon as issued, and not allowed to be taken from
the Library, would no doubt materially assist la accom
plishing this object.
It is unnecessary to multiply saggeations on this subject.
The morel and social advantage of the Company Is appa
rent to all, and well worthy any exertion that may be
made in its behalf.
All of wbich le renpectfully submitted by
