The following correspondence between Mr. Browne and Mr. Biddle will explain itself. Mr Browne Is one of the most conscientious and respectable citizens of Philadelphia, a. Democrat heretofore, bat who caYne into the loyal party with Dickinson, Butler and Brews ter. He made a 'speech, in the course of which he Justly spoke of Mr. Justice Woodward as an enemy of the country, and a follower of the .doctrines of the late Mr.-Calhoun. This state ment he' strengtbend by asserting, 'a former political friendship" for Mr. Woodward, and a knowledge of his views, which every other Democrat in the State abnndantly possessed. ' Hence the correspondence : t . ■ Sooth Sixth Street, August 27, 1g63. N. B. Browne, Esq.,—: You are reported io the Press of this morning aa slating to a public meeting jour personal knowledge of the opinions of Hon. G. W. Woodward, the Demo cratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania. You say of him: “Ho is, if possible, a con scientious Secessionist. No man in the South carries the doctrine -of Secession further than be, &e.” Force is given, to this statement by the claim that it ie made upon intimate ac quaintance with Judge Woodward.. You in troduce your version of his opinion with the declaration: “ The speaker was intimately ac quainted with that gentleman, and he would say that ff it were possible to call from his grave that arch traitor, John C.'Calhoun, and place him in the gubernatorial chair ofTPenn sylvania, be would not he of more service to the Southern cause than Judge Woodward will be, if elected." a. r; hasct. Will yon inform me whether you are correctly reported in the newspaper in which these re marks appear ? If you are, will you please to say when and where yon have had the intimate acquaintance with Judge Woodward upon which you impute to him opinions which he has never uttered to his friends or the public? Very respectfully yours, Cbas. J. Bhjdle, _ Chairman Democratic State Central Committee. 113 Softs Fifth Street, Aug. 28, 1863, Mon. Charles J. Biddle, Chairman of the Dem ocratic Slate Central Committee: Sir ; I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of yonrs of the 27th Inst, in regard to my remarks concerning Judge Woodward, on taking the chair at the meeting of the National Union Party on Wednesday evening last. Yhe published reports of the speeches delivered on that occasion are obviously incomplete, and not intended to be full or literal, 1 certainly did not undertake to represent Judge Woodward’s (Opinions on the issues now pending from mj own persona) knowledge ; for I am not aware of having exchanged words with him since the outbreak of the present rebellion. On the con trary, in commenting upon the opinions which I attributed to him, 1 expressly stated either my authority, or the nature of it quoting partly from his speech of December 13, 1860, and .partly from cdftent reports of his opinions, nhifeservedly given £nd made public by their frequent repetition; and, in reference to these latter, stating that I bad them from undoubted sources, and coilld therefore speak of them as confidently, as if 1 bad them from personal knowledge. ~ But, as my. remarks hare been thought worth; of your 'attention, and that there may be no room for misapprehension in regard to them, it is but fair (0 myself as well as Judge Woodward that •1 should repeat them for you* information. I do so from a written draft.OT them.; In speaking of tho remark recently made by a leading Southern journal that since the de feat at Gettysburg and the surrender of Vicks burg, the only hope of the South was in French intervention or Democrat successes at the North. I said “ that foreign intervention was too remote a probability for. them to depend npon; bnt os to the Jatterpsrt of the pro gramme, the Southern rebels themselves could not well have chosen more fitting instruments than the principal Democratic nominees at the North. To say nothing of the candidate for Governorship of Ohio, it might be affirmed of Judge Woodward, the nominee in this State, that if John C. Calhoun himself—that arch traitor—could be raised from his dishonored grave and placed in the gubernatorial chair of Pennsylvania ho conld not serve the interests of the rebellion better, I say this without ftny want of respect to Judge tWtrodward ; for his ability, high character, and sincerity, are un doubted. But these very qualities, in the pres ent cose, make such opinions the more danger ous, and lend them an influence more potent for evil. i “To prove this I have only to ask your at tention briefly to his views on the three issues, at this time transcending -all.,others to import ance 'I mean slavery, secession and the war for the Union. On each of these Judge Wood ward entertains the views, of the moat extreme Southern radicalism. “First, as to' Slavery.- He is not content to stand 1 - with, the Stale Rights' Democracy of other days, and leave slaveholders in the pos session of,such rights; and protection as they hod under theConSlifhtion; botin his speech of December, 1860,* fie bhldly. proclaims that “ human bondage and property in man is di vinely sanctioned, if not ordained r" and that “negro slavery 1 is an Incalculable blessing,’’ These opinions, thus littered, have lost nothing by tho lapse of time; for, on another occasion, he declared,'' unreservedly and emphatically, that “ totbink against slavery is a sin, to talk against it a crime.!" - And more lately be has ■finned that “agitation on tbs subject of sla very is infidelity, and comes, from the instiga tion of aatan." “But, aa to .Secession, Judge Woodward-ap proves of the coarse, - and justifies the act of Secesa'on, if be appears to' hesitate/as'to the -absolute right of it Although looking in the opposite direction, he yet sustains and encour ages Secession, and no man need go further. Practically, the people of the Sooth bate reached -Secession by the eamsjtaO. Jle may BefcoftU to t&e 32vttmion of tfyt Mvw of ifmOom t&e Ssrea9 of itef otrm* —J WHILE THEBE SHALL BE a WRONG UNSIGHTED, AND UNTIL "MAN’S INHUMANITY TO MAN” SHALL CEASE, AGITATION MUST CONTINUE. WELLSBOEOj TIOGA COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER -30, 1863. be sincere and conscientious in his views, but he must hear the responsibility of having given the sanction of his name and high posi tion to their rebellious course.' For if his speech of 1860 left any doubt on that point, the recent approval and endorsement of it, on his behalf, by the Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, removes that doubt. To republish such sentiments, after the fact of Secession) is an', aggrivation .of the original offence hard to reconcile with loyalty. '"Thirdly, Judge Woodward is opposed to the war, and in favor of peace on any terms; fta much soas Vallandigham or Fernando Wood. I have heard it stated that, on former occasions be rebuked the earlier concessions of bis own. party, in tb.e patriotic weir spirit of the country. But we have no. need to place this upon any' uncertain authority; we have bis language in 1860, in advance of secession : “Wo hear it" said, let South Carolina go out of the Union peaceably ; I say, let her go peaceably if she go at all.” And in 1863, after South Carolina bad gone oat, and ten other rebellious States with her, to repeat such language is to any, ” let them all go peaceably.” Truly, with the success of such a candidate and such princi ples. Gettysburg will have been fought in vain, the battle for the defence of our own soil against the rebellion is still to be fought.” These were my remarks so far as they re lated especially to Judge Woodward, somewhat fuller than the report, but substantially ns de livered. They are at your service. You will perceive that no statement is made, upon my personal knowledge as derived from him, but the sources of my information are in-, dicated in every case. I may add, sir that the | most material part of the language above quoted, apart from the speech of 1860, was de rived by me from a public address delivered in this city, by a gentleman of the highest char acter, several months before Judge Woodward was nominated. The sentiment then attributed | was regarded by the speaker, and I believe by j most of the hearers, as presenting the rare moral of a cultivated and Chris tian mind under the dominion of each an idea, as that “to think against slavery is a sin and how little protection against the lowest form of prejudice a high judecial training and position afforded when, a judge could descend from a supreme tribunal of the State to define it to be “ a crime to talk against slavery.” These sentiments, thus attributed to Judge Woodward, 1 fear, neither he nor you can es cape. That speech, which must have sounded like a new and strange Declaration in Indepen dence Square, contains them in express terms, or by necessary implication. The identical thoughts, indeed, the same peculiar torn And force of expression, are there. No candid man-; will deny it. And whatever of error that speech contained originally, has acquired start- ! ling emphasis of late, repeated and approved as .it has been 'hy yo'u on his behalf. Eleven f of the States have seceded, as he invited them 1 to do; slavery ha.s solemnly challenged the world as to her right to be the corner stone of society and government, claiming, as he did for it, a Divine ordination ; and the rebellion, j in arms for more than half a Presidential | term, has resisted the power and resources of! the Government, enoourhged to do so by just t such advocacy of peace on any terms. And yet at a time when the fairest portion of pur , State was desolate in the track of the Southern,; invader, and its soil was red with the blood of | so many thousands' of loyail soldiers who fell in its defence, yon rise in your chair and pro nounce such sentiments as a signal exhibition of and join with its author in re-affirming in a speech, the wbole ar gdment of which was to prove that, in this con troversy with rebellion, the-South was right ! and the North was wrpng! In years past, when the defence of Southern rights and institutions was made under the Constitution, and by legitimate agitation, I stood in the front rank of their friends; but from tbe hour that violent bands have been laid on the Constitution and tbe Union, and an impious attempt bas been made to overturn both, I have not hesitated as to my duty as a loyal citizen. Tbe example of such loyal Dem ocrats as Cass and Dickinson, Butler and Dix, Holt and Andrew Johnson, and a host of oth ers, is sufficient for me. I have with them faithfully upheld Ithe Government, with what ever influence I possessed. Impressed with the transcendent importance of the issue now befpre the people of Pennsyl vania, I spoke at the meeting on Wednesday evening of the' opinions of Judge Woodward with plainness, and, I hope, with courtesy and fairness. If in my remarks either sentiment or language was’attributed to ; him which he disavows, Ij stand ready to makq the correction. But if, on the contrary, they are substantially accurate, yon must agree with me that it would be difficult |to find a better living representative of the principles of JobhC, .Calhoun than your candidate, i lam sir, very respectfully, All SoßTB.gr Minds.—There is a-strongdis position ,in men.of opposite minds to despise eachj-Oiher.

' Your obedient servant, N. 8.-Browne. Tho Record of Mr. Justice Woodward. ■ When this campaign opened, we, took occa sion, in speaking to the people of-the nomina tion of Mr. Justice Woodward, to show the na ture of hie record as a jurist of Pennsylvania, atd a leader of the Democratic patty. We met * difficulty that was peculiar to his position as a member of the S.upreme Court, for he bad been a silent man in times of .excitement, and instead of answering’his voice to the cause, he contented himself with saying nothing, or, if be spoke at all,, in terms of scorn and disloy alty. There was but one speech on record in which anything inkrelation to the country ap peared, and, as beciime public journalists with a principle to defend, we quoted liberally from that speech, and'prdved to the conclusion af nil just men that it contained words that no pa- I triot would have uttered. We at least sup i posed, when it was printed, that tbe friends of I the speaker would have explained or defended it, for the sentiments it contained required ex planation. Among them, as our readers will remember, were the following t “ And thus it has ever happened, that the providence of that good Being -who has ever watched over ns from the beginning, and saved us from external foes, bas so ordained our in ternal relations as to make negro,slavery an incalculable blessing to us, and to the people, of Great Britain. Do you not see and feel how good it was for us to hand over our slaves to our friends at tbe South V “ It seems to me there must be a time when slaveholders may fall back on their natural rights, and employ in defence; of their slave’ property whatever means of protection they possess or can command.” “It is .said, let the South go peaceably. I say let her go peaceably.” Now. here are certain statements, plainly printed.* There is no mistaking their meaning In the first place, we have slavery published as an “ incalculable blessing.” It is so much of a blessing that the speaker cannot repress a certain feeling of exaltation, for be piously makes it a special providence, and ascribes it to “ that good Being who has watched over us from tbe beginning.” Having thus exulted, Mr. Justice Wood ward, proceeds to inform his friends at the South that, in defence of slavery, and of “the incalculable blessing” it convoys, they would be justified in going to or to use his own more stately language, they should “employ, in defence of their slave property, whatever means of protection they possess or can command.” This is in itself very plain ; but, as if to make no doubt on tbo subject, he tells the South to go Union, and “go peaceably.” All of which is explicit enough, and not liable to bo misunderstood by any per son accustomed to reading the English lan guage. . • - - • ■'Mr. Charles J. Biddle, however, is of a dif ( fetem opinion. As iho keeper of Mr. Justice 1 Woodward’s political conscience he comes for ward and writes an address in reply to the speech of his candidate. We should have pre ferred to have heard from that candidate him ! self, but silence is his part. So instead of ox | plaining, or repeating these obnoxious phrases, l Mr. Biddle, writing under the immediate in , spiration of his chief, frankly defends them, and speaks of the speech being “ appropriate ,to the occasion and the purpose of its deliv ; ery.” The “ occasion,” be it remembered, was ) a meeting to pacify the South by assuring the Southern people that they would not be harmed. The “ purpose” it is difficult to explain in any other theory than a desire to inflame and en courage the rebels in the seceding States. Having done this, however, Mr. Biddle pro ceeds to make this charge directly against the Press, for tbo Frees was tho newspaper that first made the charge;—“Passages and sen tences, garbled, distorted, and mutilated, are daily offered to the public, to countenance the imputation of opinions to Judge Woodward which were never entertained by him, nor, by the Democracy of Pennsylvania, of whom he is now a candidate.” Now this in itself is as plain as Mr. Justice Woodward’s speech, and may be anwered as easily. We deny that any phrase or opinion Of that gentleman has been distorted by this newspaper ; for tho phrases we have quoted were written, spoken, and printed by him. If Mr. Biddle will show us in what way, we shall make the correction. Wo do not accept bis challenge- to publish it, as it has been printed -in this newspaper, and our space is too valuable to justify a republication, merely to gratify a spirit of empty vaunting. Nor do we see any good to be done. Tbe issue’ is a mere question of fact. Mr. Justice Wood ward either wrote these words or did not write them, and the only evidence we desire is asira pla affirmation or denial, Mr. Biddle evades this by a general charge of fraud against what hs is pleased to call “ partisan writers.” He may rail in this way as long as he pleaees, but tbe seal still remains upon the.bond. Mr. Jus tice Woodward is now before the people as a worshipper of slavery—an advocate of a slave bolding war, and the friend of a dissolution of the Union,. And Mr. Biddle might as well ad mit tbe fact and' end the controversy, for the people will pass upon ft in October.—Philadel phia Press.

From Richmond pikers iof the 14th, 15th, njjd 16th, wo learn j i j WHO ORIGINATED ;THE IrEYOLCTION. The Montgomery Mail contains some rem iniscences in relation to this subject, in which it corrects the statement usually made that the infamous Yancey set the bpll of revolution in motion. The Mail nffirtns, ho donbt with truth, that the individual to whom this “honor” is due, is Barnwell Khett, of South Carolina. A worthy parent of a mad scheme-of ambition, treason, and fraud 1 ;The following account agrees with the recollections, doubtless, of many persons beside the Editor of the Mail. “ In the year 1830, a young lawyer who was attending court at Colleton, S. 0., drew, up a string of resolutions denouncing the Federal Government, and embodied tbe remedy for these usurpations, in subsequently known as the Carolina Doctrines. The reso lutions were submitted to' the people of Beau fort .ond Colleton districts, were adopted by them, and sent to the Senate of the United States, where they were.i denounced by Mr. Webster, in bis celebrated debate with Hayne on the Foote resolutions. I The young lawyer who drew, up'theae resolutions anj put the bail of revolution in motion, was Bohert Barnwell Rhett.” ,■[ Your correspondent believes the. subjoined account to bo accurate as it is ipteresting: “In 1832 the nullification ■ controversy took place. Mr. Calhoun had resigned tbe Tice Presidency, and, going into the Senate, became one of the most eminbnt of all the champions of State rigts. At that tinie Mr. Yancey was a boy; but ha was old. enough to take sides, and did so by joining l the!. Union party. He made a statement to tbi&ieflcct in tbe House of Representatives, during the session of 1844 or 1845, in reply to Mr. Levin, of Pennsylvania, who had accused him of being a nullifies We can very readily account for Mr. Yancey's po litical opinions at that period, from the fact that his father, who removed to Charleston for the purpose of practising law in partnership with Judge Daniel Elliott Huger, died in a short time of yellow fever, paving transmitted to his sons a high regard for the person 'and principles of Judge Huger. In the nullifica tion controversy Jodgo linger was a violent ad herent and leader, along witl* Joel R. Poinsett, James L. Peligru, and Judgt. Thomas Lee; of the Union party, or submission party, as it was then called.” “ At the time of Mr. Yancey’s election to Congress in 1843 and ’44v he was a zealous, ar dent, active, and; able member of the Demo cratic party. 1 In a little time, however, he threw off party trammels, ;and became the bold and defiant champion of Soiitftfirn rights; but ha was not regarded, as ithe leader of that party.” The remarks which follow, divested of rebel coloring, are no less conformable to the history of the times. 1 But if Mr. Rhett gave the first impulse to the revolution, and Mri Yancey was its most eloquent champion, it was te John C. Calboun that we are indebted for the secession of tbe South from tbe Union. From the first hour pf bis entrance into the Senate of the United States, in 1832, down to the period of bis death in 1850, Mr. Calhoun was 'the firm, unyielding, and ablest advocate of the rights'of the States which the South ever bad; It is to Mr. Cal houn that the-chief merit is due for the inde pendence of the South. H? did more to ac complish this result than, any man, than any five thousand deem it, therefore, a matter of simple justice, that, in speaking l of the superb man who inau gurated the ‘present revolution, the name of John C. Calhdna should bb placed first on the bright roll of honor.” Two years from the present day these same men will strive to cast tipon each other the eternal infamy of being foremost to betray their country and plunge it into tbe horrible abyss of civil war. Roll on the Ball. Tho satisfactory progress which the cam paign in Pennsylvania is making, as evidenced in the political indications pf the past week, has doubtless been observed by very many, oven of those who are unaccustomed to noting closely the signs of the times, while it htfs served still further to encourage and 'unite the friends of the Union for the task'which lies before them. If it had been possible for us to doubt before that Pennsylvania would be true in this strug gle, as she has been true in all other struggles, all doubt upon tho subject would have been removed by the very cheering aspect which the political field has recently assumed. Within a few days past; several sigpifieant events'have occurcd, which, so far as they go to prove that the loyal men of Commonwealth tye dis posed to sink til minbr issues in the grand ques tion of the nation’resistenoe, must be regarded as of the highest consequence. The first of the events referred to is thej announcement that General Cameron has expressed himself desi rous that Governor Curtin.should be re-cleqted, thus silensing the stale and baseless charge that the two gentlemen did not entertain friendly feelings towards each other, and disappointing the hops of the disloyalists that this supposed antipathy could be turned to the, benefit of Mr. Justice Woodward; Another noteworthy event is the fact that General Butler -is canvassing the State fer Curtin and Agnew, and is now employing the same talents which he bo suc cessfully directed against : lhe Secessionists of Louisiana, againat their sympathizers in Penn sylvania. That his success will bs as marked here, in oor home campaign, as it was in more distant fields, none who rightly appreciate the character of the man can entertain a doubt.rv Wc-might recite other occurrences tending to show that the friends of the Union everywhere’ look upon Pennsylvania as the decisive battle ground, and Are coming forward, with the ea gerness of volunteers, to [consolidate their for -oesferthe mighty contest so close at band; but the facts adverted to. are sufficiently sug gestive of the splrit whijClf animates our loyal men, ajjd sufficiently[ indicative of" the gloripns vie torJ wkwfl Vai t b to crown their labors in Rates of Advertising.
