SAMUEL BARCH, Secretary. Twice Defeated. George W. Woodward watt twice defeated by . the influential men of thehld Democratic party on pure issues of gonna national questions:— rust, in 1845, ha was the Democratic caucus nominee• for, the United States;Senate, to fill the unexpired term of James Buchanan; who had been appointed Secretary of State by James K. Polk That caucus wax divided, the Tariff Democrats earnestly pretesting against Wood ward's nomination, and insisting that his free trade proclivities and professions were all antagonistic to the true intercste of the Commonwealth. It was asserted and sustained then, by men representing the strongest Dem ocratic Senatorial and Representative Districts, that. George W. Woodward was,.opposed to the protection of free labor, and in faror of bring ing down the manufacturers and mechanics of the State of Pennsylvania, to a level with the pauper laborers and artisans of Enrope. On this question of the protection to free labor, the honest Democracy of Pennplfania, then In thrrLegislature, tonic issue with Woodward, and with the utmost boldnees proclaimed their purpose to vote for Simon Cameron.. Accord ingly Goneral Cameron was elected to. the 11. S. Senate on a ques..ion of principle entirely. The most influential men of the'Democratic party, supported Cameron's election. It was deemed the first and most substantial triumph of the Tariff party of Pennsylvania—a triumph from its results, and the earnest and faithful services rendered the Senate, tifelt dtiy in every industrial pursuit in the Cointeronwealth; if not in, the country. 4 . • This was Woodtvarcr first ;Weal, on a question . of principle, by the honest and independent men of the Democratic party. After the rebuke which was thus adminis- I tered to George W. Woodward k by the fridpds of free labor in the Pennsylvania Legislature, James Buchananilthen Secretary of State in the Polk adatinistottion, took the Ireat defeated . under his pretection, determine4that he should have position in some branch of the Govern ment. On the question of free trade, Buchanan and Woodward striinglysYmpathised with each other. Buchanan bad Once ',declared that-ten cents a day was fall, renumeration for an American laborer, and because Woodward re-% • sponded to the sentiment in - many'a freer - trade speech, Polk was importuned to nominate Woodward for apoeitioa on,the U. S. Supreme Bench. TO 'these inipottunitlis Polk at last yielded, and NFOodward'a rienie 104 accordingly sent ,Inta the Senate. That ; Semite Was largely , Democratic. ' Its members' embraced the ablesi intellects 'Of both 'thee great parties of the country. Maignm, Benton, Calhonn, Webiter, Ring; Clayton, Cameron; Allen, Evans, _stood at the head - ;of the Whig and Democratic elo menti, the Democrats ruling with dedded majority. Before that body georgeFil - lroodward again failed—nay, after a fair and impartial canvass of hit:abilities as a lawyer and:hie character as , apol., itician' kind a death, he was ro'ectect by the votes of Democratic &millers. The at!eniiip ,on. his part, while a member of Ihe Pennsylvania Constitu tional Reform Convention, to disfranchite the, foreigner, defeated ; George W. Wend= ward's nomination, ,btdore the. U.• S. Senate; for a United States Supreme Court 'Judgeship,. A Democratic United:States Senate made this a question of principle - . Woodwatd's friends de nied, the charkei of the - attempted diefinirchise meat; but the allegation that -he did propose thui to fence- thewdopted citizen •to a!level with the American slave,Nitis, siiitained by the testis mony of john. Agg, Whio had ; reported the full proceedings of the Constitutional Reform Con vention. Thus fairly tried and convicted, Woodward was indignantly rejected by the viten of Democratic Milledigattke. Senate, and his nomination for the_SuPreme Jpdgeshjp became a disgraceful Myra. ' - .Thas was Woodward . a second time defeated, on a ration of vitalprincipies, by-the honest men of the Dwiceratic party. —This man, George W. Wood ward, who, when'the Democratic party was in its pride of p r hi c ipl e _and glory of power, was thus twice disgracefully defeated by the direct influences of the leading then of that organisation, is now thrust upon ihe,people of P4msylvarkia as a candidate for- Voyernor. Beside the—vital *nes on which he was ; them,. defeated, other 9Aistioru3 enter into Arotest agalitst bis _deed= mils, and pulatamerringly.to l his defeat `as a aubernatorMl candidate: HQ is the friend, advocate and defender of the system of slavery which pr:iduced rebellion. He is the =yrnpa thiAH with the avowed traitors Who Ire etrrg gling to dissolve the Union. He is the head and front of the faction in this State, eworn to break up this Government. On these issues he will again be defeated by the aid of the same honest Democracy who defeated him on a qiiestion of principle twice before. Mark our prediction. President Lincoln vs. Vailandighana and Wernando Wood. Some of the rabid secesh organs, which are con3tantly hunting flaws in the laws passA by Congress, or which are btu y in impairing the acts and the influence of the National Administra• tion, have suddenly discovered that there is "a Allah:tons difference in the treatment, on the part of the President, of Vallandigham and Fernando Wood. Oue of these eecesh_ organs, thus attempts to fasten the differerce In the treatment on the President : "Mr. Lincoln can coolly sign a warrant of banishment for Mr. Vallandighatu, because 'he 'avows his hostility to the war on the part of the Union,'- to an audience of a few hundred people in the-backwoods of Ohio, and the next moment receive in the Executive mansion and hold council with Fernando Wood, fresh from the utterance of the above sentiments before thirty thousand people in the great city Of, liew York." —As the me is here stated, the inference might be drawn that the President was par tial in his treatment of these two bold and in rebutted traitore, Vallandigharn and Wood.— ; tempting if some of the Copperhead organs now at i tempting to make capital for treason out of these circumstances had kncwn just why it was that Eernando Wood visited ths. Executive. Mansion at the time referred to, they would not have thought the matter so Strange, and would pot have deemed any explanation nectkary.— We have it from very good authority that a few hours before that visit the Provoat Marshal of that city called on Mr. Woodit , :tv . as after :night—and read to him a telegraphic dhpatch which intimated very plainly that his presence. Was required at the " Executive Mansion" in Washington City. It is said that Mr. Wood turned very pale. He took the first train, and very early Xext morning called upon the well knbwn western gentleman, about BLS feet four inches in height, who at present occupies said "Mansion," and timidly asked to know abet **IEI wanted. Said tall gentleman told him to go home and behave himself, and that if be didn't behave himielf and stop his treasonable haranines and attempts to stir up "rebellion and resistance in New York, he would arrest him and send him to Fort Lafayette during the war, if it caused , the streets of that city to run with blood' Fernando Wood went home with a very big flea in his ear some say with one in each e3r,----and, it is a re markable fact ; he has been remarkably; quiet ever since. The Sold err' Vote The press of the Stiite should' urge that 201- diem belonging to this State, who have been In the service over two years, and who at home are legal voters, send In their names at - once and be as§e - ssed that they may vote in camp.-- ; If objection should be raised to this, we trust that the Government will permit them to collie home to exercise a right of which none but bopperhead Judge would attempt to deprive them. The matter is Important, as contrery to propriety, WOodWard,the Democratic candidate for Governor, retains his seat in the'' Supreme. Court, and may construe acts bearing on this 'right t) be constitutional or unconstitutional to suit his prospects. By all means let the soldiers vote at the coming election. —We repeat the recommendation, that the' soldiers from this State, in every . Case possible' &guaranteed by'the exigencies of the service,. shonld be permitted to come home to exert:this the right of suffiage at the election for Gii , terz nor. If any slt of men are interested in, test, election,they are the eoldiers, Tlroueands of, men Went into the service, because' theytnew that Gov. Curtin-Would Care for their interests and the welfare'of their fernlike. These men went faith to ba(xle helieving - that the polioy of; the * State Governmet would be much'as warriiit the safety the eife4 Of all that they held dear as men, as lathers and as freemen. In all this, they can only be deceived by being disfranchised. If Geo. W. Woodwardigolgoted Govornor of the State of Pennsylvania, ,that policy will , toe changed, and his 'election .will of course be 'secured: by ,the practical - disfranchisement of the spidier.-= Hence, we urge, let the soldier . ; be, pxought hoop to vote, His voteis as essential, for the. 2afety of the Union as can'be a-bullet 'froth his sure rifle or 'musket. His 'vote for 4.nilia r o :Curtin is,necessary not only for ihkstifety;44 is demanded by the soldier to prove his steady devotion to-the ponstitution- and the LaWs r . Let ample' provision, then,. be made, for,t4O return of the soldier to vote at the coming eke don for Governor and other State officers. • F Tim Amman SOLDIaIt was first disfranchised r by the action of a DemocraticSuprenie Court, of which Geo. W. Woodnard wasand still is one of . the Judges. It is not strange, then, that the cop, perbead journals of the State shduld extol Judge ! Woodward for this apt. !_ Finding that they could not aid the -rebel cause, and discovering that the sympathizers with mbellion.were too cowardly to take up arms in defence of a cause Which they adored, Such men as Wocdward were determined ), , t give rebellion what aid thei could, and hence the great bloyrof disfranchise ment was struck at the soldi er . - ?he 'soldiers in the Mexican war were allot jo vote beeause that war was waged to benefaakwery Tem mammas IN Tffil WAR AGAINST REBELLION RAVIE.BERR DIRPRAN CILIUM BERAIIIII TUB REBELLION 18 OARRIA'D oaf Fog nu madam or SLAVERY.

Bayrd was a young but . gallant hero, and be longed to a fami:y which hascontributed some of the very best material to the armies of the Be pubhc. He was in Mexico on the Rio Grande, after which he marched with Scott, assisting in carrying our victorious flag to the very capital of the Aztecs. In the war we are now waging against rebellion, Lieut. Bayrd took an active part, and did not perish until he had reas serted and re-established his claim to valor an' patriotism. And while such as he are not per sonally known beyond the circle of their dearest kindred, it is among the most pleasing duties of the journalist at least to make honorable mention of their deeds, after they have met an honorable death while nobly atruggliag in de fence of the tovernment. dig Teregrapo.

The fire of the fort coming in steadily, ot s:Jving the tides to have risen a little, I directed the Wee hawken to be carried In closer. and the anchor was hardly weighed, when I riotic-d that the Catskill was also under weigh, which I remarked to Captain Calhoun. It occurred to me that Captain Rodgers detected the movement of the Weehawken, and was determined to be closer to the enemy, if possible. My attention was called off immediately to a position for the Weehawken, and soon after it was reported that the Catskill was going out of action with signal flying that her captain was disabled. He had been killed instantly. It is but natural that I should feel deeply the loss thus sustained, for the close and confidential relation which the duties of fleet captain necessarily occasioned, im press:A me deeply with the worth of Captain Rodgers. Brave, intelligent and highly capable, devoted to his duty and to the flsg under which he passed his life. The country cannot afford lose to such men. Of a kind and generous nature he was always prompt to give relief when he could. I have directed thatall respect be paid to his remains, and the country will I am sure unite to %honor the memory of one who has not spared his life in the hour of trial.
