Gov. Curtin Before the People.
We have private as well as accounts derived I
from our exchanges, of Gov. Curtin!s progress
before the people. Bis EicellenCy , has been
addressing large meetings in the western:and
north-western portion of the State:- The.people
of those localities have been 7 turning out in
immense numbers to hear these speeches,,:and
from what we can learn, as we have stated,
Gov. Curtin is adding new fame -to his reputa
tion as an orator, fresh popularity to his fame as
a public officer and additional strength to hisi
positions a candidate for re•election. He
meets every issue in which is involved. a, prin-
ciple of good to the country, fairly, and dis
cusses it candidly. He invites scrutiny- to his
own acts as Governor of a great Commonviealth,
and defies, riticiem, whether it be, by fr iced or,
foe, of the threnyeare. of _his speedily"-closing'
first administration of the affairs of the State
of Pennsylvania. Thus, Andrew G. Curtin
appears before the people, neither as a :beggar
for votes or as an apologist for his public acts—
but as a man conscious of having done his duty
to his COmmonwealthand his -couritry,nnd of
having been faithful' : cirginiautien to,
which he owed his first election, an organization
which he has assisted in making -one of, the
bulwarks of National safety.
—ln view of these facts, it is not" surprising ,
that. Gov. Curtin should everywhere .be . hniled•
with acclamation. His receptions .arn More'
like ovations than the ordinary .vrelcomes'of,
candidate for position canvassing the.diffeient
counties of= the Comnionwealth.' Fathers as
semble to see and cheer on 'the man fats
stood by their sons, while such as these Were
bleeding on the battle deld or sngering in the
hOspital. Mothers modestly greet and bless
bird as the guardian of ell 'that they'hold dear.
Freemen convene to se,'4343'l4 . itl,'llVe Governor
of Pennsylvania, who is not afraid to say in the
clear open light of,day that slavery is the "rem
of the rebellion, and that slavery must! be
crushed with rebellion, in order to secure,
hereafter and forever, the sacred, rights 'and.
privileges of free:iorn. This all ames man
of all parties that are loyal--the,wise and the
good—the beautiful and tha virtuous—ALL,
save those of the people of 'TennsYlvanialtho
have been tampered with by traitors, are rally"
ing for the reelection of Andrew 131-. 'Curtin.
Every day and every hour in, the day.brings_us
cheering news of these facts. Prom every part
of the Commonwealth we'are greeted'with well
attested assurances that t,he re-election of Gov.
Curtin is a fixed fact, a fact as clearly relied
upon and enthusiastically battled for by all
true men, as is the fad of natictality,' l the faot
that rebellion must be pat down, and the fact
that while treeion is recognised in the north
by the leaders , of political parties, treason in
the south will be able 'to wage its wits against .
the Government .

conritetact the influence of a copperhead Gov

Is the Tory Organ answered?
Blackguardism
Biester Clymer, a Senator from Berks county,
a disappointed aspirant for the copperhead nom
ination for Governor, and a copperhead of the
most malignant qualities, has been haranguing
the people in different parts of the State, in
favor of the heresies of modern Democracy, the
atrocities of the slaveholders' rebellion, and
the aspirations of his political co-laborers In
rebellion. To a certain extent, Hipster Clymer
has a right to do all this. Democracy gives
him the right to advocate treason. Treason
impowers him to attack the Government, and
from the embarrassment and peril of that Gov
ernment, such demagogues as Clymer derive
their means of advoosting the claims of their
political friends to'power and position. But as
-11144 t if i nymer has assumed the right, cling:king
personal attacks on the Union candidate for
Govelmor, we deem it only :fair to remind the
Berks county Senator that he is indulging in a
blackguardism which may be gratifying to hie,
own tastes arid instincts, but which is mostrepa.
sive to the tastes and the pied - flees of honorable
and fair dealing men. Perhaprove should not
have alltded to" , theblackitiardism of Clymer,
in thus assailing'GoV.'builin, ;vere it not for
the fact th - at no Senitor of the opposition paity.
was more urgent and cringing in hirtappeals for
perscinalfavore, and who was betterserved by are
State adminiStration than this fellow, heater
Ciymer.. He was always ready to lick the hand of,
power for a favor: and like all true sychophants,'
he seeks the first opportimity to rend the hand
which served'him. We ; leave eymer with this
notipe,to,the enjoyment 'of his tour of personal
slander cif the Governor. of Pennsylvania, only
reminding him of the homely adage, that "it

SOWS. Siam &raw, August 27, .1.868,.
N.. B. .Browne, .r.sq.,---SM:I You. are reported
in The Press of this:morning as.stating to a pub
lic meeting your personal knowledge of the
opinions of Hon. G. W.' Woodward, the _Deem--
bratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania.
You say of him: "He is, if possible ' a corm'.
entious Secessionist.. No man in the South (lor
ries the doctrine of Secession further than he,
EV6." Force is given to this statement by the
claim that it is made upon intimate acquaint
ance with Judge.. Woodward. You introduce
your version of his opinion with the declaration: .
The speaker was intimately asynairdedlik_thin
gentleman, and h.. would eay. tnat _soo
if it •were.pos
bible to,call iron:this grave that arch traitor,
John C. Calhoun, and place him in the guber
natorial chair of Pennsylvania, he would mot
be of more service to the Southern cause that
Judge Woodward .will be, if elected."
Will you inform me whether you are crir=
rectly reported in the newspaper inivhich these
remarks appear I .11 yomare, will you please to
saywhen and where you have bad the intiniate
acquaintance with Judge Woodward upon which
you impute to-himnpiziions which he has never
uttered to his friends or the public? Very I re --

118 So FiNni STREET,

Bono Charles J. Biddle, • Chairman of the Democratic,
State Cenfrai Committe .
• Sra—lhattilhe 2 honcir to- acknowledge . o.lle
receipt of yobis.of the 27th inst. , in regard to
my remarks concerning' Judke liirohdward; OD
taking the chair at the meeting of the National I
Union :Ftirty_on Wednesday evening last. The
published reports of the speeches delivered on,
that Occasion are obviously incomplete ; and not
intended to be-full or literal. I certainly` did,'
not undertake-to represent Judge Woodward'sl
opinions on the issues now pending, from my
own personal knowledge; for I am not aware of
having:exchanged words 'with him , since the
outbreak of thetpresent rebellion. 'On the con
trary, in commenting Upon the opinions which
I attributed to expressly stated either, my
authority, or the nature ofi it, quoting partly
from his speech:of December -18, 1860, ;and
partly from current reports of, his-opinions; un
reservedly given and made public by.their, fre
quent repetitgir ;Al' id, in, - reference to these
latter statihr tbatli had- theta frofieuridoubted
soincesrandcould therefore speak of them as
confidently as if I' had. them- from personal I
knowledge.
- But, as my remarks have been thought worthy
'of your attention, and that there imiy-be no,
room for misapprehension in regard to them, it
is but fair to myself as well as Judge Wood
ward that I should repeat them for your infor
mation. Ido so from a written drait of them:
In speakingof the remark: recently madeby,a,
leading Southern journal, that since the'di3feat
at Gettysburg and the surrender of Vicksburg,'
the only hope of ,the South was in French in-1
tervention or-Democratio successes at the Ninth.
I said "that foreign intervention was too re
mote a probability; for: them to depend Ilion;
but as to the latter, partofthe programme, the
Southern rebels themselves could not, well have
chosen moreifitting instrumento than the prin
cipal Democratiksorninees at .the North., To,
say nothing of -the candidate for Governorship
of Ohio, it might, be affirmed of Judge Wood
ward, the nominee in this State, that if John
Cl. Calhoun himself-thatl arch -traitor—Could
he raised from_lms dishonored grave and placed
in the gubernatorial Chair of Pennsylvania, he
could not serve the interests of the rebellion
better. I say this without any went respect
to, Judge Woodward; for, his ability, high
chracter, and sincerity, are ,undoubted. -But
these very qualities, in the present case; make
such opiniona the more dangeroui, and lend
them an influence more potent for evil.
"To prove this Ihave only to ask your at
tontion. briefly to his views on. the three 'issues; ,
at this time trenscending i all others in import
ance; I mean slivery, secession and the, war for
the Union. On each of these Judge Woodward
entertains the views of themost extreme South
ern radicalism.
"Fist ai to, slavery He is not content :to
stand with the State Rights DernoCracy of 'other
daps, and leave sinVeholders in' the posseesion
ot,stich,rights ai,Kl protection ,as they had under
theConstitutliin ; but his speech of Decem
ber, 1860, he boldly proclaims 'that 'human
bondage, a l i4 property irinum is divinely.sanc
tioqed,.if not, ordained , ;' and- that 'negro BLS
vexylpanincalculable blessing.' These opinions,
thus uttered, haVe lost : nothing by the tailice of
time ; for, on, another occasion, he' declared,
unreservedly and emphntically, that 'to think
against slavery is; a sin, to :talk riglinat it a
crime I' taid„morelntely 4e.l aall aXrp!ecl:Afiskt
'agitation on the litipjEct9fslaVery MTh:fidelity;
and comes from - the inatigation'of
"Bnt, as to Secession, Judge Woodward ap-
proves of the course, and 2Stifies the act of Se
cession, if he appears to laltate as to the abso
lute;fight of it. Alrhougtiooking iu the op
posite dirtetion, he yet suistins and encourages
Secession, and no man need \,) further. Prac
tically, the people of the Soth have reached
Sceession by the same road. may b 3 sincere
and conscientious in his view, b u t h e mus t
bear the responsibility of havint liven the sane
tion of his name and high posiftot to their re
bellious course. For if his spa& of 1860 left
any doubt on that point, the recut approval
and endorsement of it, on his W a if, b y th e
Chairman of the Democratic §ate :central
Committee, removes that doubt. republish
such sentiments, after the fact of Session, is an
aggra,vatioM df the'original offenoittard to re-
- -
conciie with loyalty.
"Thirdly, Judge Woodward is cpoeed to the
war, and in favor of peace on an:terms • as
much so as Vallandigham or Ferunde
I have heard it stated that, on fore occasions
he rebuked the earlier concessions f his own;
party, in the patriotic war spirit of te cou nt r y.
But we• have no nevi. to place this upon any
.uncertain authority ; we have his leiguage_in
1860, itt advance of secession:,t))) hear it
said,, iet_South _Carolina go:pitt of.te union
peaceably. ; I say, . let her go peaceigy if: she
go at all.' And in 1863, after Song, Carolina
had gone out, and ten other rebelling States
with. her, to repeat, such language t; to KV,
'let them all go peaceably.' Truly, With the
t3uccess .such , amtndidato and suchAuriiples,
Gettysburg wilibave been fought in pin, the
:battle for the defence of our own spi, against
the rebellion is stilllnbe._fought.','
. . _ ... _ ,
These were my remarks so ferns the! related
especially:to Judge Wood Ward, sornewht fuller
thanlthe report, but substantially as dlivered.
They are, at your service. t ,
You will.peroeive that no statement s made
upon my personal ; knowledge as derivd from
him, but the sources of my informationre in
dicated in every , case. I may add, air, thatthe
, most material part of, the language ?above
' quoted, apart from the speech of 1860„ Vas, de-;
rived by me froma,pablic address deliveed in
thiacityijsy, a gentleman. of the , highestchar
acter, severalmenths before Judge Woo\ r ward
was nominated. The sentiment then at ibu
ted was regarded by the speaker, and I lieve
;by most of thelheafers, as presenting th rare
moral phenomenon of
under,, tkcnitlyated and Ch ran
ti t
mind der,,the t dorninion, ! of such an i ,as
that "to think against slavery is a sin ;'and
how little protection against the lowest f mof
prejudice a high judiciel-, training and 'don
pl i t
afforded, when. a judge;could descend, film a
supreme tribunal of, the State to definait to be
"a crime to talk against slavery."
r These sentiments, thus attributed to Jdge
1\
Woodward; I fear, neither he 'nor you ca es-.
cape. That speechovitich must, have sounded
like a new and, grange Declaration in Indeten
dance square, contains them in eXpress.terms,
or by necessary jmplication. The identical
thoughts, indeed, ;the same peculiar turn and
force_of expression, are there. No candid man
will deny it. And Whatever cf error that speech
contained originally, has acquired startling em
phaais of later repeated andiapproved as it has
been by you on his behalf. Eleven of the States
. haveiteceded,,ao;he invited them to do; slavery
has solernnly.chrdlenged 'the world as to her
right to be the corner stone of 6ociety , and goy ,
ernment, claiming, as he did for it, a Divine
ordination; arid the rebellion, in arms for more
than half a Presidential_ term, has resisted the
power and resources of the Government, en
, couraged to do so by just such advocacy of
peace on any, terms. , And yet, at a time when ' the; fairest portion of 'our State was desol"-I
in the
a __ 11,, /3...+•..ccrt." - ruvaaer, ann . its
son was s red with, the : blood of so many thou
sands of . loyal soldiers who l fell in its defence,
you.rise in your chair andpronounce such nen
timents,as a B ignal exhibition of statesmanlike
sagacity:, and join with its author in re-affirm
ing a speeoh, the Whole argument of which was
to prove that, in this controversy with rebel
lion, the.Soath was right , and the North was
wrong ! ,
In years past, when the defence of Southern
rights and ,iustitutions ,wfra made under the Con
latitution, and by legitimate :agitation, .I stood
in.the front rank of their, friends; but from the
hour that violent hands have been laid. on the
Constitution and the Union, and -an impious
attempt has . been made to overturn both, I
have not as to my duty as a loyal
. .. hesitated.

I and, Andrew Johnson, and a host of ,others, is
sufficient for me. I have with them faithfully

of the issue

evening,of, the opinions of Judge Woodward
with plainness, and, I, hope, with courtesyand
fairness. .1 f
• ikinyriniarks dither sentiment
or language was 4attributed to him which he
disavows, I stand ready to make the correction.
But if; on the contrary, they are substantially
