vigorous prosecution of the war for the restore
dim of the Union.
Second. Resolved, That we are opposed to all
measures tending to such restoraton.
pr. GOVERNOR. CURTIN CANNOT SE
CURE THE SUPPORT OF EITHER HIS OWN
PARTY OR HIS OFFICE-HOLDERS.—Speech of

" IGNORANT AND BENIGHTED."
At a late meeting of the Union League of
Philadelphia, Mr. Wayne IticVeagli, Chairman
of the Abolition State Central Committee, made
a speech, in whist' he used these words:
"OUR ENEMIES ARE ACTIVE IN THE
COUNTRY. THEY SHRINK FROM THE
CAPITALS OF INTELLIGENCE AND WORTH.
THEY HARANGUE AMONG THE IGNORANT
AND DEINICIITED WITII A SHREWDNESS
THAT lIEPITS THEIR CAUSE, LET THEN
THE LARGE CITIES DO THEIR DUTY, AND
WE WILL OVERCOME WHATEVER ADVANT
AGES LtUlt. ENEMIES ]JAY THUS GAIN."
This is the old Federal spirit of depreciation
of and contempt for " the common people," Crop
ping out in a modified form. We used to hear a
great deal about " the dumb Dutch," among
whom ancient Federalism found its most deter
mined opponents. Bat now that country people
generally are setting their faces resolutely against
the dishonesty and fraud by which the "shoddy
etielecracy " of our large cities has been creat
ed, and raised to wealth and power, under the
corrupt influence of Government patronage, our
modern "loyalists" have discovered that the
whole people of the country are "ignorant and
benighted." Despairing of deceiving them any
longer, they aro now concentrating their forces
in the large cities, "the capitals of intelligence
and worth," as Uri illeVettgb calls them, in the
desperate expectation that the overwhelming
vote of the honest yeomanry of the State, which
they foresee will be east against them, may be
overbalanced by the rowdies and ballot•box Bluf
fers who infest the purlieus of every large city,
and whose votes may at any time be had for
Meney—of which the " alioddyites" have an
abundance, and which is the only " eolid argu
ment" they can bring forward to bolster up their
rotten cause. The people in the country are
doubtless too "ignorant and benighted " to learn
the sharp practices of the fashionable gamblers
and speculators who are robbing the Govern
ment daily out of millions of the hard earnings
of the people that have been patriotically con•
tributed to the cause of the Union, and whose
interest it is to prolong the war, in order that
they may continue their wholesale robberies and
frauds. In all these things, the country people
arc indeed "ignorant and benighted," and we
hope and pray they may always remain so. But
they are neverthelese shrewd enough to see
through the flimsy cloak of patriotism and loy
alty under which these scoundrels hide their
selfish, mercenary and iniquitous hearts. Of
this, they know too vtuat for Ile comfort of the
public plunderers, and hence their fears. The
cities may be " the capitals of intelligence and
worth," but they are also the head-quarters of
corruption, of vice and all sorts of infamy. That
the latter now predominate, the history of the
last few years plainly proves. Let the aristo
cratic MoYeagh and his adherents keep to the
cities, in welcome. So long as the pure and
honest masses who people the country districts
are with the Democracy, the State and Nation
cannot he utterly destroyed.

PUTTING ON THE SCREWS.
We learn from several of our exchange papers,
that the proprietors of some large manufactur
ing establishments in this State, are threatening
the mechanics and laborers in their employ with
instant discharge if they vote for IVoonwatto.
This is tyranny of the worst form, and deserves
the severest condemnation. The American work
man is no slave, but a freeman, as well as his
employer; the latter has a right to his labor, du
ring regular hours of work, but no right to con
trol his opinions. It would be well for the tyrants
who undertake to control the votes of poor men in
this despicable way, to remember that there is a
laW of Pennsylvania (Section 51 Revised Penal
Code) which affixes a severe penalty to the of
fence of corruptly influencing and intimidating
voters. This section makes any offer of a gift
or reward, or promise of office or employment to
any voter, with the intent to influence his vote;
or any threat of dismissal or discharge in case
of his refusal to vote for a particular candidate,
a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not exceeding
$504, and bnprisonment, not exceeding two years.
See Laws of Penna., session of 1860, page 396.
THE GREAT QUESTION
The great question to be decided by the peo
ple of Penneylvaula at the approaching election,
is whether this State is to be governed by civil
magistrates, acting under and in obedience to
the well settled principles of law and justice, or
whether it is to be governed by Provost Mar
shals and Military guards? That is the great
point at issue between the Democratic and Abo
lition parties. If GEORGE W. WOODWAIID is
sleeted Governor, the people will be secure in
their rights, persons and property. If Andrew
G. Curtin, the iron yoke of Austrian tyranny
will be placed upon our necks, and every vestige
of liberty of speech and of the press will be
crushed with the bayonet. Freemen of Penn
sylvania! are you prepared to become slaves?
If not, show it by your votes on election-day.
ABOLITION SYMPATHY WITH TREASON I—The
Harrisburg Telegraph—Governor Curtin's organ
--in its edition of the 4th of August, 1863, con
tained the following infamous declaration, by
which it will be seen that the Abolitionists, so
far from being at heart Union men, would rather
see the rebellion triumph than allow the people
the freedom to choose a Democratic Governor
" If we do not harmonize our differences
and concentrate all our forces, the enemies
of the Government will succeed in electing
Woodward a ammo?, a result to be estima
ted as snore disastrous to the cause of the
country than the defeat of Meade by Lee.
Indeed, it wouhl be far better to allow Lee
to penetrate Pennsylvania AND ESTAB

ballot-box and then he inaugurated Governor
of the State."—Harrisburg Telegraph,
Gov. Curtin's Organ.

prominent Democrats as opposed to Judge Wood

WE VOTED FOR GOVERNOR CURTIN. GOD
SPARE US FROM EVER AGAIN VOT/NO FOR
OM A NAN,"
JUDGELfWOODWARD AND THE RE-
IELLION.
In all oar recollection of party politica. which
now runs back some twenty five years, we have
never known a time when the opponents of the
Democracy were so biller, malignant and utterly
false in their attacks upon us as they are at pres
ent. The most bare-faced misrepresentations of
our principles, the moat unblushing falsifications
of our records, and the most infamous libels upon
our candidates, are employed against us with a
reckless indecency that absolutely disgraces the
whole system of American politics. And these
dirty wcapetta of controversy are not left, as they
formerly were, to the camp-followers and bar
room wranglers, who, slanderers by nature, and
blackguards by association and habit, are usually
suffered to say and do whatever mean thing their
low instincts prompt, without being called to an
account. But now, we find men who claim to be
respectable, and who wish to be considered of
good repute for truth and honesty among their
neighbors, engaged in the despicable work of re
tailing these misrepresentations, falsehoods and
libels. As a ease in point, we have the Bennett
tle Lemuel Todd, of Carlisle, getting up in pub
lic and charging Judge Woouwaan, upon mere
hearsay—testimony that would not convict the
meanest defendant in &Court of Quarter Sessions
—with having avowed himself a secesaion at. Now,
no one can doubt that the honorable Lemuel
Todd knew this to be false when he uttered it.
But, no matter—a point was to be made, and,
adopting the maxim of the " shoulder-hitters"
and " plug uglys" of the cities, that " a lie well
stuck to, is as good as the truth," he gravely
makes the charge, mad trusts to his honorable
rephtation to screen him from the odium that
justly attaches to the common informer, the liar,
and the slanderer. Judge WooDwarto himself,
being appealed to, refutes this base libel, with
dignity and decision, as the annexed correspon
dence shows:

• . . -
DEAR Sia—l have been informed that Hon.
Lemuel Todd, who presided over the Convention
which re-nominated Andrew G. Curtin, in ad
dresiting a ratification meeting held recently in
this county, stated that is had been informed
that a certain Judge Hall said, that in a recent
conversation with him you had avowed yourself
a believer in the doctrine of secession, and in fa
vor of the immediate recognition of the South.
While I am satisfied that you have never held
or avowed those sentiments, I deem it important
that your friends should have authority to con
tradict the statement. Will you, therefore, be
kind enough to inform me whether you ever held
such a conversation with Judge Hall
Very Respectfully,
Ru rus E. SHAPLEY,
Chairman Democratic Standing Committee of
Cumberland County.
PHILADLLPRIA, Sept. 21, 1863.
Rufus E. Shapley, Esq :
Blatt SIR: Just returned from Easton, where
I went to attend the funeral of our much la
mented friend, the Hon. Richard Brodhead, I
find your favor of the 18th, informing me of a
story which Mr. Todd produced at a public meet
lug, after obtaining it through a channel which
is not specified.
There is not a word of truth in the story. I
know no Judge hull, and cannot remember that
I ever knew a man of that name.
So far from ever avowing belief in secession or
favoring recognition of the Southern Confederacy, 1
am, and always have been, opposed to both, and am
in favor of an/pressing the rebellion, by which both
are supported.
My life has been spent, thus far, in upholding
the Constitution of the United States as the
Fathers framed it—the Union they formed—and
the Constitution and laws of the State; and
whatever of life remains to me will be devoted to
the same ends ) whether it be Spent in public or
private station. Neither secession nor the milli)
leant fanaticism that caused it, will ever find an
advocate in me.
Trusting that this is a sufficient answer to the
calumny you allude to, I remain, dear air,
Very twig yours,
GEO. W. WOODIVARD
A SENSIBLE PROPOSITION.
Thin Louisville Journal makes a very sensible
proposition to the Southern people; one which
will have to be acted upon and carried out to the
ietter before we eau have peace, re union and
constitutional government. Here is the propo
sition :
The government cannot endure permanently
half slave and half free," said Ms. Lineoln. tt
Union between free States and slave States is im
possible," responded Jeff. Davis. Now rebs, if
we put down all such of our fellows as think with
Old Abe, and you put down all such of yours as
think with Old Jeff, no doubt we will be able to
get along very well together again.. Let's try it.
We are trying it now, In Pennsylvania ; our
neighbors in New York, Ohio, and other Northern
States are trying it, and with a fair prospect of
success. Over the line, in North Carolina, they
show a strong disposition to try it, as they do
also in some other southern States, and courage
and perseverance will carry them through. Then,
fanaticism and despotism in both sections being
strangled, the good old times will be restored,
and the nation start forward on a new career of
happiness, prosperity and glory, refined and
sublimated by the fiery ordeal through which it
will have passed. The people of Pennsylvania
who like this proposition, and wish to see it
carried out, can do much toward helping it along,
by voting for GEORGE W. Woonwann at the elec
tion now close at hand.
jpier- TUE ABOLITION PAPERS arc publishing
the following paragraph from the Chambersburg
Repository, which the veracious Aleck. McClure
puts forth as having come from Senator CLYMBIt,
in his late speech at Somerset:
lie was also indiscreet enough to say that
"if Woodward and Vallandigham were elected, with
Seymour and Parker, they would. unite in calling
from the army the troops front their respective States,
for the purpose of compelling the administration to
invite a convention of the States to adjust our dfffi•
collies."
We have the authority of Mr. CiTMICH himself
for pronouncing the above an impudent .fabri
cation. He used no such expression, or any
thing like it ? either at Somerset or any other
place where he has spoken. When win Abolition
editors stop king , ?
HAVE WE A DISUNIONIST AXOria vo 7-11 is
even an ; for if language like the following is not
disunionism of the rankest kind, there can be
no such crime :
If the hour of dissolution leas come then in God's
name let us separate in peace. There should be no
appeal to brute force. That government which does
not lice in the just consent, and in the affection of
the governed, is a tyranny. The hand of brother
should not be arrayed against brother.'
These treasonable words appeared in the Berke
4. Schuylkill Journal of December 16th, 3860.
The man who uttered them is still at large. Can
it be possible! Can such things be, and "loyal
leaguers" rest quietly in their beds at night '7
