An Invitation for a Free Fight.
Curtin and Stanton are in conspiracy to prevent,
by military force, a fair election in Pennsylvania.—
Let every man who loves liberty be prepared to prove
that he u worthy of it, by defending his rights at all
havrds and to the last extremity.—VALLEY Siam.
We quote the above paragraph from the Val
ley Spirit, the organ of the copperheads in the
Cumberland Valley who piloted Stuart and his
cutthroats from house to house, and from barn
to pastures, for the purposs of enabling the
rebels to steal horses, carry off
,provisions, har
ness, vehicles, and fire and destroy such pro
perty as fell within their marauding way.—
After having served the rebels in-their.pro
gress through the Canaberland Valley, these
men are now invited to oppose the soldier in
the exercise of his franchise—to resist the vote
of every Pennsylvania soldier, even to blood
shed, wherever our heroes attempt the exer
cises of a freeman's right. It is not the first
intimation of the kind .we have had on this
subject. The Tory Organ in this city started
the cry for "a free fight" on the same subject.
That cry has been taken np by every copper
head in the Commonwealth, andof course the
plans are all arranged, and the first soldier who
offers Us vote, however long he may hale
been in ,Pennsylvania, whatever interests he
may have at stake in the purity of the State
Government, and however much he may con
tribute of his means, in the shape of taxation,
to the support of that State Government, we
assert that it is fair to suppose, from all the
threats which have been made on this subject,
that the first Pennsylvania .soldier who offers
to vote at the coming election, will ba brained
at the polls, and his life made to pay the for
feiture of his determination to, ma ntain, his
rights as a freeman. This is the programme
of the copperhead leaders. Their organs an
nounce it in the boast that they want a free
fight. Will they succeed in carrying out
their plane? We leave this question for time
to answer. In the meantime, we may as
will assure cur copperhead opponents, that
hundreds and thousands of soldiers will be at
home to vote on the second Tuesday of October,
and that these soldiers will be backed in the
right to exercise the franchise by the law of the
State and every patriotic man who has a regard
for the purity and fair exercise of the elective
franchise. These soldiers will come flushed with
victory, the rightful guardians of the National
honor and the fedr fame of the Commonwealth.
They will come , with no temper to brook the
opposition of men whom they know to be false
to the country, whom they feel to be traitors to
the Government.- They will come disposed to
participate peaceably in the election of a Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, but prep,ded, doubtless,
at all hazards, to Exercise the right of freemen.
Hence, the Valley Spirit need not labor too hard
in its advice tio those who love liberty to prove
themselves worthy of it by defending such
rights at all,hazards and to the last extremity .
It is what the Pennsylvania soldier is doing now
on the bloody battle fields of Virginia—it is
what be will also do at the ballot-box in Penn
sylvania, on the second Tnesday of October next,
Who will be the first to resist the veteran sol
dier, as he presents himself at the polls, scarred
with wounds, for the exercise of a , freeman's
right? This question can only be answered by
the action_of the copperhead traitors.
A GOOD Law.—They have a statute in New
York, that no man may be voted for by the
people, who holds a place on the bench as
Judge of any of the courts. The law was
doubtless enacted under the belief that a man
who was seeking the votes of the people could
not be an impartial Judge. The theory is a
correct one, yet we have two of the Judges of the
Supreme Court now before the people for elec
tion, and what is more, they both refuse to de
fine their positions on the great questions of the
day.
THE TORY OamiN, weary of assailing the war
policy of the Goyernment,;turns its rage on
Secretary Chase's splendid - firvaciering opera
tions. Wonder if it would hurVihe Secretary's
feelings to know that the tremendous financiers

WOODWARD•S DISFILA NC EtISEDIE NT
SURE ME.
The Testimony - al an Important Witness.
Our reads lli ATO aware that George W. Wood
ward and his friends have freque-ntly denied
that he made a speech during the proceedings
of the Constitutional Reform Convention, in
which he advocated the total disfranchisement
of all foreigners, regardless of their intelligence,
their wealth, or their mechanical genius. That
speech forms a portion of the archives of the
COmmonwealth. It is as much a record of our
political history, as Is any speech made during
any e!essiort of the Legislature. In tha face of
these facts, however, Woodward and his friends
are now persistently denying that he ever ut
tered the sentiments attributed to bim in the
effort in .question, alleging that he was mis
represented by a Whig reporter, and that the
entire speech was a forgery.
--We now leave the reader to the perusal o
the following statement from a competent wit
ness in the case. The testimony is, that of the
editor of the Huntingdon Globe, William Lewis,
one of the frankest men and most fearless Demo
crats in the Commonwealth. Bead his testi
mony:
WOODWARD AND RIN.KNOWNOTRINO SPRACH.-
Some of the bogus Democratic papets, and
Woodward himself, now. deny `that he ever
made the speech in the Reform Convention,
which we published last week. We know that
the speech published was made by Mr. Wood
ward in that Convention. It was in the year
1837. Wm. F. Packer, Benj. Parke and 0.
Barrett, now one of the editors of the PatriOt
and Union, had the printing of the debates of
that Convention. The same gentlemen alio
publibhed the Democratic State organ, the
Keystone, at that time. We were foreman in
the office ou the debates, and handled' every
page and corrected and revised every sheet of
the debates. We know that Mr. Woodward'
and all the other members of the Convention
were furnished with revise sheets to make any
correction in their speeches they might think
proper. We know that forms were not worked
off for weeks after the revise sheets were taken,
thus giving every member of the Convention
full opportunity to make corrections. We
know that Mr. Agg, stenographer to the Con
vention, was not the hind of man to be guilty
of putting on paper what any mem
ber had not said ; and we know too
that had Mr. Agg reported the speech
incorrectly he would have been discharged by
the Convention; but he continued at his post
until all the debates were published. We know
too that when the matinvript of Wr. Wood
ward's speech came into the office there Mos
considerable discussion amongst the twenty
compositors employed, all denouncing it, and
the proof reader, Mr. Hamilton Kerr, also an
editor of the Keystone. took part in the discus
sion, but no one intimated that the speech was
reported incorrectly. If it had been, or if there
had existed a doubt, or had Mr. Woodward
been absent, his political friends who were the
printers and editors of the Democratic organ,
would have had it corrected daring the two
weeks the revise sheet Was open for correction.
The speech was reported correctly, and, Mr..
Woodward's denial of it new only satisfies us
that he will lie, and act the part of the unpile
pled politician to make his election. We have
the fifth volume,of the debates before us from
•
which we copied the speech.
The Diplomatic Circular,
The Government, through the Secretary of,
State, has addressed a circular letter to IN
diplomatic. agents throughout the world, in
which the history and the results, of rebel
lion in the United States are ably recounted.—
Thls history is well calculated to have an ha
prtant influence in controlling the action of
foreign governments, as well as open the eyes
of the people of the old world (for it will be
published in all countries) to the real issue and
general importance of the contest now raging
in America: So far as a reference to the pra . o.-
Meal results of resisting the Government are
concerned, if the prepareti n of the circular
letter had been deferred by the President one,
month longer, (its date being 12th August,) ,
events which have since occurred would have
made its arguments in favor`of the power of
the National Government to crush rebellion,
perfectly irresistib . ,e.. Bat it will do no harm.
to let the victories achieved in, the time inter
vening from the 12th of August to the circula
tion of the letter in question In Europe, follow,
as a sort of corroboration of the statement( it
contains with reference to the achievements of
the National Governments.
The Government gives a history of tip pro
gress of the war for the past year, commencing
with the reverses to our arms just prior to the
battle of Antietam; the narrative is continued
with the defeat of Lee on that field by McClel
lan ; with the advance of Bragg towards the
Ohio, Ad his being driven back by Buell; with
the march of Van Dorn and Price on Kentucky;
and their being chased away by Rosecrans at
Inks and Corinth, and the subsequent defeat of
Bragg at Murfreesboro—it refers to the splendid
campaign of Grant on the Mississippi, and the
victory at Vicksburg, which it compares to the
"famous one of Napoleon at Ulm"—it then al
ludes to the brilliant exploits of Gen. Prentiss
at Helena, and the victorious progress of Gen.
Banks up to the crowning glory of his services
at Port Hudson, which completed the great
work of re opening the noble Mississippi—the
movements of Gen : Sherman are alluded to, by
which Johnston's army was driven to the east
of the Mississippi—and follows up the history
with an allusion to the ever glorious defeat of
Lee by Gen. Meade on the field of Gettysburg,
and the driving the rebels again woes the Po
tomac, with a loss of so large .a portion of their
army. '
Next fellows he order the retreat Of Dram
from Tullahoma and Shelbyville, before the
victorious army of Gen. Rosecrans ; and the
dashing operations of Gen.Stoneman in Virginia
and Grierson in Mississippi, and tbe defeat and
capture of the rebel' Morgan in Ohio. The
National Government lays all these facts befOre
the world through our' diplomatic agents
abroad, for the purpose of convincing those
who are anxious for a renewal of commercial
prosperity, that the readiest way to gain that
end is to permit us to settle our own difficulties
in our own way, and without any interference
from abroad. It is shown that by our succes
ses during the past year, one-third of the total
forces of the rebels have been destroyed, and
fitty thousand square miles of the territory of
the nation recovered ; and that wince tile com
mencement of the war, 200,000 square miles
held by the rebels hare been reclaimed to the I
of ♦l,n er1,44...1 ....+.n....... cis, I.
State Elections,
The people in the following States will hold
elections on tiie dates set opposite to tittir
=1
Poonsylvauia October 13
Ohio October 13
Massacbusetts November 3
New . :1 ork November 3
Maryland November 3
Wisconsin November 6
Delaware November 10
lowa November 10
West Virginia November 10
The following States elect members of Con
gress: California, 3; Maryland, 6; Delaware,
1; West Virginia, 3. Governors are to be
elected in Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, Wisconsin and lowa. Members
of Legislatures are also to be chosen in all these
States, Ohio, Massachusetts, New York, Wis
consin and Minnesota, electing all the members
to both Houses.
The election in Pennsylvania and Ohio will
haves vast influence on the contests in the
diffeient other States, as the one is regarded as
the backbone of the nation - ,,and the other has
&Ways been looked upon as the Queen of the
West. If these two mighty CoMmonwealtha
(empires within their own boundaries) declare
in favor of the Government, the influence on
the other loyal States and the effect on rebel
lion will be irresistible: It would virtually if
not actually put an end to the war. It would
step the strife by as clear a vindication of the
lam(' as could possibly be gained by a dczen:vio.
tories of our soldiers in the field. Of course
the honest masses of Pennsylvania understand
this reasoning, and will vote accordingly. •
Fit for the Work:
D. W. Voorhees, of Indlants the copperhead
member of Congress who acted with Vallan
digham in his opposition to all appropriations
for the support of the army, and who has been
engaged, ever since the first attack on Fort
Sputter, in giving aid and comfort to the trai
tars in arms. is announced to speak in Pennsyl
:vania, in advocacy of ;Woodward's election.—
Voorhees very recently narrowly escaped being
lynched by the infuriated soldiers of his own
State, whom he maligned as PLincoln's batch-
Ors." We trust that the soldiers and oitizeas of
Pennsylvania will give this foul mouthed vitu
perator of the Government a free passage when
lie traverses this State, and that his slanders of
lOyal men will only be resented at the polls.—
He is, perhaps, the moat perfect adept at bil
lingsgate in the country, and when not over
drunk can manage to get off "more falsehood and
slang than - any public speaker now advocating
the corruptions of rncidern Democracy. He
is, therefore, fit for the work the copperhead
leaders have delegated him to discharge.

PERILS OP GENERAL BURNSIDE'S ARMY
Reported Reaignation of General GlMore
WASEUNGITON, Sept. 16.
An idea entertained in certain high army
quarters here is, that the bulk of Lea's force
(leaving a Richmond garrison) is going down
the. East Tennessee and Virginia railroad to at
tack Burnside, or—if Barnside arid Rosecrans
be considered as one force—is operating In the
prolongation of their left flank to attack at
right angles to it.
Isis a bold and desperate stroke, and should :
lose the rebela Richmond, if it succeed. It
ought to fail by_Rosecrans being able to observe
Bragg with a division or corps '
while he sup

REPOB.ThD , ERIONAT/ON OF GM. OLLMOHE
It is stated on good authority that General
Gillmore has tendered his resignation to the
President because of a disagreement between
himself and Admiral Dahlgren. The report
says the President will not give up General
Gillmore, and that Admiral Farragut has been
approached with a proposition to assume com•
mand of the naval forces at Charleston.
Union Mass Meeting
PITTSBURG, Sept. 16.
The grand Union mass meeting to-day was a
moat remarkable demonstration. The vast
area of the West Common was filled with the
loyal people of Allegheny, while the thorough
fares leading to the place were crowded.
Robert Woods, Estia well known lawyer of
Pittsburg, and a prominent Democrat for many
years, presided. A large number of vice presi
dents and secretaries were chosen many of them
leading Democrats in former days, who were
loudly cheered on taking their seats. Speeches
were made by Gov. Morton, of Indiana, Gov.
Curtin, Mr. Matthews, of Maryland, and others.
They were replete with patriotism and loyalty,
and frequently interrupted by the plaudits of
the excited multitude.
Capt. Gibnor, of the 104th Pennsylvania
Regiment, read an address signed by fifty-eight
officers stationed at Camp Copeland, invoking
the loyalty of the people in support of the
State and General Adminiatration in its efforts
to conquer a peace. The address says: "When
yon think you should think of this kind of
peace; when you pray you should pray for it ;
when you talk yea should talk for it ; but
above all, when you vote, be careful that you
vote for it." This appeal was frequently rti
sponded to with enthuastic applause.
Resolutions were then unanimously adopted
deslaring it the„soleurn duty of every patriot
having at hisleatt the, welfare of our beloved,
country to cut his vote for the men only whoa
stand pledged to an,unfaltering support of the
National Government, and recommending An
drew G. Curtin and Daniel Agnew as the true
standard bearers of the loyalists of Pennsyl
vania.
