OUR DRAFTED MEN
Have had a lively time, for a week
past, in paying exemption money, in get-'
ting up papers of Exemption for cause,
41,c. A large number went to New i
Brighton yesterday and to-day (Monday.)
Many of these 'poor fellows have been
shamefully treated by the enrollers, but
few of whom made an approach to doing
their duty in reference to the enrolment.
In most instances the enrolment was
made without personally calling on the
men whom they enrolled ; the result is,
that many of them are put to great ex
pense and trouble in relieving themselves
front the Draft. We have heard of nu
merous instances of persons being drafted
who were exempt from this Draft—for in
stance, persons who were over the age of
forty-five, many over thirty-five and mar
vied, and who, if they had been called on,
would have been saved this expense and ,
loss of time. We have beard of some in
stances
of persons being enrolled who
had not for years been citizens of the
he county, and others where the party was
,in the army, and again some who were
without an arm or a leg.
This could never have happened if the
Enrollers had personally called upon the
parties, and we should not be surprised if
some of these gentlemen Enrollers would
be called on for damages, for expenses to
which they have put the drafted men in
consequenze of this failure to discharge
the duties which the law imposed on them.

The Democratic party is not a tempo•
rary organization, seeking to effect tri
fling and evanescent objects. It is a pro
gressive and permanent organization, and
will only cease to exist with the liberal
popular institutions which gave it origin.
It came into being in the very infancy of
the Republic, when our finances were dis
ordered, our credit impaired, our material
interests undeveloped, and our public
policy unsettled. Under its fostering care ,
our great industrial interests "sprang in
to prosperous life,"—our commerce was
spread over every sea, and our territories
extended from ocean to ocean. Dur-:
kg the long era of its rule, two foreign
wars were successfully rrosecuted and
gloriously terminated without infractions
of the Constitution. or assaults on the
personal liberty of the citizen. The
American name was everywhere respected
and her people everywhere protected in
their persons. property and privileges.—
The acts of our rulers were at all times,
freely and fully canvaseil, and the
villai
nies and peculations of public officers
everywhere boldly exposed and unspar-i
ingly denounced. In a word, we were the
freest, happiest and most prosperous na
tion on the face of earth. And for all the ;
benefits and blessings we enjoyed we
were indebted, under God, to the sound
policy of Democratic administrations
not less iliaa to our institutions them-
selves. Our wonderful growth in wealth,
numbers and importance was the legiti
mate fruit of public measures which look
ed not to the advantage of one class to
the detriment of another, nor to the up
building of the interests of one section to
the tearing down of those of another.—
The patriotism of the parry was broad as
the utmost circumference of the Union,
its policy catholic and liberal, and its leg
islation just and impartial. "A jealous
care of the right of election ; the suprem
acy of the civil over the military authori
ty ; the diffusion of information, and the
arraignment of all abuses at the bar of
public reason ; freedom of the press and
freedom of the person under the protection
of the habeas corpus and trial b 1 juries
impartially selected,"—these were the car
dinal features of the Democratic creed, as
laid down by Thomas Jefferson in his In
augural Address, and as they have re
mained ever since.
Less than three years have elapsed
since a new party, holding to radically.
different opiniors, a party of a day, sup
' planted the National Democracy in the di
rection and administration of public af
fairs. Appealing for success to narrow
sectional prejudices, it proposed to inau-;-
urate a policy on the subject of slavery
which could not fail' to disturb the har
mony, if not threaten the unity of the
country. Wendell Phillips, the notorious
Abolitionist, had said of it in 1856,
"There is true merit in the Repub
lican party. It is the first sectzon.2l
party ever organized in this country.
It is the N cant arrayed against the
Sorra. The first crack in the iceberg
is visible. YOU WILL YET HEAR
IT GO WITH A CRASH THROUGH
THE CENTRE !"
His words were prophetic, and with the
triumph of the party in 1860 came girsial
ization of the stupendous evils which the
Democracy had predicted would tnevita-,
hly result from its elevation to power.—
The apprehensions with whichouthern
hotspurs had succeeded in inoculating al
most their entire people, that slavery in
the States, as well as their rights in tbe.'
Territories, were endangered by the suc- ;
cess of the Republican party, soon led to'
secession, and following on the heele of
that mad act and fatal heresy, we have
had a war without a parallel for caruare
and expenditure of treasure in the history
of the world.
IThe experiment of trusting the reins of
government to a sectional party, and to
men not imbued with the generous spirit
?of the fathers of the Republic, has been
made, and it has proven a most disastrous
failure. A divided people, arrayed against .
•1 each other in deadly strife, burthensom e
;taxation, an impoverished treasury and a
colossal national debt,—these are the le
gitimate fruits of it, if we superadd an
Army of the Dead which almost defies
I computation, and hundreds of thousands
of desolated hearthstones, and widowed
and orphaned hearts.
! It was a terrible mistake truly to com
mit the government and destinies of the
!country to the hands of Abolitionists, as
I the people have kernel by sad and- bitter
iexperience. But, faithful to their own in- ,
t
terests and happiness, not less than to the,
Constitution and Union of their fathers, it 1 1
is a mistake they seek anxiously to correct.
To do it, they ask only. Free Speech and
an Unobstructed Ballot. Give them these,
and they will soon remedy their wrongs
and ills, and administer a withering re
.buke to the wretched Abolition dema
gogues who have abused their confidence
as well as the power with which, for a
brief season, they were incautious enough
Ito entrust them.. Give them these, and
they will soon restore to power the only
i party which, in the history of the coun
try, has shown itself fit for the guardian
ship of our institutions and the successful
ladministration of national affairs.
big-Forney, of the Philadelphia Press,
is flattering himself, says the New Haven
Register, that "the old Democratic party
is obliterated," &c. Like a deserter in
battle, who is sure to swear that his reg
iment was entirely cut up before he left,
Forney has just enough sense of shame

GOVERNOR CURTIN,
The Pitteturgh Gazette, the loading
Abolition paper of Pennsylvania, savage
ly assaulted Governor Currrix, the nom
inee of the party of which the Gazeae is
itn organ, a few days before this nomina
tion took place, It charges Gov. C. with
"falling short of the occasion in every ele
ment of courage, truthfulness and ability"—
with "officious intertneddling and weak
ness"—who "pales at a shadow and starts
convulsively, like the frightened fawn,
at the rustling of every leaf"—hints that
the Governor did not consult the authori
ties at Washington in his appointments
in carrying out the Draft, last summer,
and more th4ti insinuates that he had the
hardihood even to disapprove of the
wholesale arrests made by the authorities
at Washington and elsewhere for criti
cisms of the actions of the Natioual Ad
ministration.
The Gazette charges Gov. Curtin with
secretly and openly conniving at the re
peal of the Tonnage Tax at the session of
1861—a charge, by the way, of a most
damaging character, for the reason that
its truth is notorious—and with assisting
the friends of the railroad in smothering
testimony before the Hopkins Committee
of the last session, and thus saving the re
peal of the repealing law.
The Gazette charges Gov. Curtin with
making "promises that are forgotten as
soon as made, and never intended to be per
formed." It says, "we could point out
cases where even he has gone out of the
way to volunteer engagements, which
were no sooner made titan violated." It
charges him with being "overruled by
bad counsels of other men," and being
"merely nominal Governor of the State,"
while it insinuates that the real Governor
is S. A. Parviance, Attorney General.—
That Purviaace has "torn up sonic half a
dozen of his veto messages which he had
prepared for transmission to the Legisla
ture"—that Gov. C. has "gathered about
the capitol a class of men whose presence
is anything but a wholesome one." That
" there has been no time in the his
tory of the State when profligacy and venal
ity were more open and shameless," and
that it is not the war bat Gov. C who has
"generated the maggots in the body pol tie"—
&c., &c.
These are a sample only of the charges
made by the leading Abolition paper of
the State against the candidate of its par
ty for the next Governor.
INSOLENCE
The Harrisburg Telegraph, the organ
of the State Administration, has the inso
lence thus to speak of Judge Woodwar I,
the nominee of the Democratic party for
Governor :
"If we do not harmonize our differences
and concentrate all our forces, the ene
mies of the Government will succeed in
electing Woodward Governor, a result to
be estimated as more disastrous to the
cause of the country than the defeat of
Meade by Lee. Indeed, it would be far
better to allow Lee to penetrate Pennsyl
vania and establish himself in Harrisburg
than to allow Woodward to succeed at the
ballot-box and then be inaugurated Gov
ernor of the State."
The Pabiot & Union thus appropriately
replies to this vagabond ribald :
"This man against whom this envenom
ed shaft of impotent malice is aimed, is a
.)udge of the Supreme Court of the State.
Neither his qualiticatious nor his integ
rity, acting in that high capacity, can be
impeached by his worst enemies. The
purity of his private life is universally
admitted. As a party man he has never
been ultra or bitter. From the very
commencement of this war he has had
tiris, sbus in the service of his country.
one of whom is now Lieutenant Colonel
of a Reserve regiment, and was ko badly
wounded in one of the Peninsula battles—
the ball passing through both legs, badly
shattering the bones,—that he will be a
cripple for life. Both gallant sons, we
believe, took part in the battle of Gettys
burg, and did their part in driving Lee
front the State. And yet this upright
Judge, this estimable citizen, the father
of these heroic boys, is represented by
the Telegraph as a foe to the nation,
more dangerous than the rebel Oen. Lee.
"If such baseness as this is tolerated
by the people without rebuke, then, in
deed, are they `•fallen from their high
estate," their necks ready for the yoke,
and their limbs for the shackles which
traitors and fanatics are preparing for
them."
PRESCRIPTION FOR LINCOLN
Punch thinks that no remedy will bene
fit the King of Prussia, that does not ef
fect an entire change in the royal system.
"He prescribes for his Majesty an altera
tive, anti recommends him to adopt the
custom of taking a constitutional walk,"
As the King of Prussia has got :)i - s sys
tem out cf order somewhat in the same
way as our American Majesty, by making
a war upon the Press and certain rights
that the good people supposed inalienable,
the same remedy might cure the disease
which afflicts his American cousin. It is
a running down of the Constitution that
troubles Mr. Lincoln ; and we would ad
vise, not only that he take a constitutional
walk, but that he be attended by Magna
Charta, and some prescriptive rights and
privileges that are hoary-headed with age,
but still very vigorous and sure footed.
REPUBLICANS FOR DISUNION.
Rev. 0. A. Brownson was a Republican
candidate for Congress in New Jersey last
fall, and he must be good authority in re
gard to republican views and purposes.—
In the July issue of his Review he says:
"It is no secret now that the leaders of
the Republican party were prepared if
they could retain the Border Stave States,
to let South Carolina and the Gulf States
go; and form, if they choose, an indepen
dant Confederacy."
ilia6We frequently hear men who act
with the Abolitionists claiming to be
Douglas Democrats. We have no doubt
but that they are Doifyftus Democrats--
Fred Douglas Democrats.

4. They will re-establish the suprema

5. They will dismiss the army of provost

6. They will not allow the Military to
be drawn up in line at the polls, during a
popular election.
7. They will not allow the voters to
be bribed or intimidated by Uovernment
officials.
8. They will call shoddy contractors,
rascally Government agents, and middle
men to a strict account, and perhaps make
them disgorge some of their profits.
9. They will stop all arbitrary arrests,
and hold the party who caused them to
be made, answerable for their crimes,
notwithstanding the unconstitutional bill
of idemnity.
10. They will endeavor by these and al!
other lawful means to restore tilt Consti

11. They will use all their power, and
all the statesmanship which they can
muster to their aid, to restore the Union as
it was before an insane, fanatical party
endeavored to carry out the unconstitu
tional Chicago platform.
Now, we call on the Abolitionists to
give us their platform. Let us see wheth
er they have any thing else in view than
to prolong the war beyond the next Pres
idential election, and use the military to
defeat the Democrats at the ballot box.
Will the people submit to it"

AMALGAMATION,
Wendell Phillips, the leadine apostle
canonized in the Anti-Slavery Bible, made
a speech on the 4th inst., at Fartningham,
Mass., in which he proclaimed himself
fully wedded to the amalgamation of the
races. lie declared: "I have no hope
for the future, as this country has no past,
but in that sublime mingling of the races,
which is God's own method of civilizing
and elevating the world." Wendell is
eminently "loyal." He has too warm•a
side for Lincoln's "American citizens of
African descent," to allow any doubt on
that point. Wendell, too, is a great fa
vorite with "16,Ya1" *People everywhere,
and we shall not be surprised to hear of
11,:.s being invited to this State, to
pave the way among all "loyal" people
for the mingling of affections with the
`Sweet Scented Nigger."
stY.-Wendell Phillips, in his Fourth of
July oration, said ihe President I ad told
him that before the first of the present
mont% he expected to lose, by battle and
the expiration of terms of enlistment, two
hundred thousand men, whose places were
to be suppli.d by negroes. In that case,
but a hundred thousand white men would
have been required.
But whet e are the two hundred thousand
negro recruits ? Echo answers, wht re ?

AMMONS TO THE DEMOOBA TIO

who, two .are ago, was on the Tod ticke
for the Legislature, is now out for Vallan
digharn and Pugh. So is R. A. Dagne, of
Morrow county, heretofore a strong Re

ister states that he is a talented young man
and a good speaker.
Hon. Geo. S. Hillard, of Boston, a co
temporary of- Webster and Choate, and an
old Whig when that great old national
conservative organization existed, ii, a
letter to the New York Academy of Mumic
meeting, on the 4th of Ju!y, remarked :
"1 have never been a member of the
Democratic party, but I am convinced
that there is now no hope of ending thie
deplorable war and restoring the Union
but by and through that party."
And the Hon. Joel Parker, now occupy
ing the chair of Chief Justice Story, and
never before a Democrat, speaking to a
mass meeting held on the 4th at Concord,
N. H., remarked:
"Most assuredly I do at this time deep
ly and cordially sympathize with the De
mocracy in their efforts to maintain the
Constitution, preserve the rights of free
speech, the liberty of the press, personal
freedom from arbitrary arrest and impris
onment, and the supremacy of the civil
law in all places not occupied by the for
ces of the Union for the prosecution of
the war. Legitimate martial law cannot
exist it, places where there is not only no
war, but no troops for the prosecution of
the war. What is so called, and is at
tempted to be enforced as 'martial law,' in
such places, is merely the exercise of ar
bitrary power.without any warrant of law
whatever."
THE LATE WHIPPING BY ORDER Or
OUR PROVOST MARSHAL.
Upon the announcement of a citizen
having been stripped and cowhided by or
der of our Provost Mirshal, we heard the
expression of 48 condemnation from per
sons who had previously been insensible
to the horrors of similar outrages ; and,
since its perpetration we have received a
number of communications inquiring if
the people are to submit to such enormi
ties hereafter? We have foreborne, until
the present, to allude to the subject in
question, for the very palpable reason, that
it we bad•given expression to our feelings
when the outrage was perpetrated, many
of those who are now indignant would at
tribute our conduct to partisan considera
tions. Our silence, therefore, has given
these an opportunity to reflect upon the
beauties of arbitrary power.
But let us look a little farther. This
lease of whipping is simply an outrage to
!which no man can submit. If even a pot
; troon, public opinion will not "permit him
!to rest quiet under such disgrace. The
poor man, himself, felt the degredation
about to be indicted, when he asked to be
shot, in preference to surviving it. This
mode of punishment was years ago consid
ered too brutal for even the punishment; of
the worst of sailors; and the whipping
i post was long since abolished as a relic of
barbarism. But after fully considering
these facts, together with the stunning
circumstance of our Provost Marshal
having no authority m ire than we have, to
strip and whip a alLizen, we are compell
ed to attribute the outrage to the numer
ous precedents established by the Admin
istration. This conduct of Capt. Foster is
no worse than that of other Provosts,
who have dragged men from their fatui
ties and incarcerated them in prisons
without a hearing. It is no worse than
the outrage perpetrated by Gen. Burnside'
upon the once proud old Commonwealth
of Kentucky, in declaring martial law,
for the purpose of robbing her citizens of
their suffrages. It is no worse than the
Administration sending borne, from the
army, three thousand soldiers to carry the
last eleciton in Connecticut ; nor is it any
worse than the dismissal from the service
of Lieut. Etheridge, a gallant New Hamp
shire officer, for the offence of voting the
Democratic ticket. These and similar
outrages have been frequent throughout
the country for two years, and we regret
to be compelled to state that they have in
every case been justi§ed by some of those
who are now shocked at our Provcst's mode
of punishment. How is this? How hap
pens it that these peop'e, whose big Amer
ican bosoms are now dwelling with indig
nation, because of a particular outrage
have been for two years, totally insensible
to a multitude of crimes p:rpttrated in
all quarters of Vie country ? For denounc
ing these infamies, we, instead, of being
commended, have only received condem
nation and persecution. Our opposition
to them has been used by brainless Abo
litionists, as evidences ofdislovalty to oe r
government , and the genius of our Union
League has been taxed and invoked to de
vise some means to prevent criticism of,
and fitting comment upon, such palpable
usu rpat i on s.— Pittsburgh Post.
HON. GEO. W. WOODWARD
The Democratic party has never made a
nomination that has been welcomed with
more sincere enthusia.m by the patriotic
masses than that of Judge Woodward. It
is felt that he is emphatically the man
for the times, possessing, as Mr. Clymer
'said in his speech at the Convention,
"shoulders broad enough, and stout
enough, and brain big enough," to meet
any emergency. Everybody who is at all
acquainted with him recognizes the abili
ty of his character. With such a man iu
the Executive chair, the long needed im
provement in the management of State
affairs, that every true citizen has sighed
for would soon be accomplished, and Penn
sylvania would take her stand as one of
the best governed of all the members of
the Union.—Hollidaifiburg Standard.

DEMOORATIO NOMINATIONS.
In a number of Counties of this State,
we notice that our Democratic friends are
already putting their tickets in the 'field
for the fall campaign, and we are pleased
Ito see that in every instance they are se
lecting their very best men—especially for
State Senators and Member for the House
of Representatives. In the Washington
and Greene Dietrict that highly esteemed
gentleman, Hon. WILLIAM Hoeitiss, has
been nominated for Senator. A purer man
than he does not live—his election is a
fixed tact. In the Westmoreland and
Fayette District, Joux LATTA, Esq., is the
candidate. He is a lawyer of considera•
ble promise, and is a high-minded, honor
able man— quite au apposite to his pre
decessor, Dr. Fuller. For the House we
have already nominated C. L. Pershing,
Esq., of Cambria, Dr. Patton, of Greene,
W. *P. Alexander, of Clarion, John Hag
nett, John W . . Riddle, and J. B. Cham
bers, of Westmoreland and Armstrong, T.
B. Sear;.grit, of Fayette, William Glenn,
of Washington, and B. F. Meyers, the
able and leafless editor of the Gazette, of
Bedford. Messrs. Pershing, Glenn, Pat

last House, and are men of talent and
high personal a Eliaracter.—Eastoa Sen tinel.
THEN AND NOW.
"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 awful right to do so, and I have no inclina

The above is word for word from the
Inaugural Address of President Lincoln.
It was tittered while he no doubt honestly
felt the constitutional obligations resting
upon him—while his solemn oath of office
was yet fresh, and before Wade and Wil
son and Chandler had obtained the mas
tery over him. Ws words VIES were no
more fit and proper than they are to-day.
But now, the cry cornea up from the
Abolition party in all its quarters—from
the men who hold statesmen's positions
down to shoddy thieves and army con
tractors—from men in private life, who
ought to comprehend the condition and
nature of our federal compact, down to
OA most ignorant blatherskite of the under
stratum of fanaticism,—the cry comes up
—"No reconstruction of the Union !
no cessation of the war, until every south-
era slave is free :7
That same vile fanaticism that goaded
tha South into rebellion is now determined
that even victory shall not stop the sa
turnalia of carnage, and that the Union
as our fathers made it shall never be re
stored.
And such men claim to he in favor of
the LTnion!— Venango ,Ypectator.
