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

while a member of Ihe Pennsylvania Constitu
tional Reform Convention, to disfranchite
the, foreigner, defeated ; George W. Wend=

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

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

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

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

Let ample' provision, then,. be made, for,t4O

Weehawken was lying about one thou
sand yards from Wagner, and the Catskill with
my gallant friend just Inside of me. 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. I have
the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient
servant, JOHN A. DAHLGREN,

Rebel Communiostion Destroyed
STEvausou, Ala., Aug. 23
Col. Wilder crossed the Tennessee last even

Shetaloned, thus severing the communication
between the rebel tight and left.

and brought them to this city.
It was the burning of the above bridge that
was thought to be the destruction of the
steamer Point Rock, which boat escaped, reach
