The Copperhead Candidate for Senator
A victim to be offered up to the grim Moloch
of treason, as the copperhead candidate for
Senator, has at length been found , in . the person
of Daniel D. Boas, of this city: He is - deci
dedly the very beat man that could 'have been
selected as a candidate, as he represents, In all
their phases, the treason sympathies of the cop
perhead faction. He loves slavery and hates
the President of the United States. He adores
the leaders of the rebellion and affects to de
spise a full grown, frank and fearless aboli
tionist. And ho is so honest in all theseitiews,
that in order to achieve their iIISCOSS, he would
not only consent to, but we firmly believe that
he would contribute to the success of any plan
to drive the President and his cabinet officers
from the capital of the nation, and welcome'
Jeff. Davis and his cut-throat followers to the
places and po Rer thus vacated and resigned.
Those who know and can understand the inten
sity of Mr. Boas' Democracy, will admit that
this is a fair picture of him, politically. Per
sonally, and in the private walks of life, he is a
gentleman and a man of integrity, whose busi
ness qualifications, enterprise and liberality, it
would be foolish to question where they -have
been so long of such practical use and wonauch
high admiration. Of course the political prin
ciples of Mr. Baas are what the people have to
deal with in this instance, and these will over
whelm him in defeats
Senatorial Nominations.
In the counties of Washington and Greene
an active contest is taking , place. Colonel Hop
kins is the copperhead candidate, and Mr.
Lindsay, of Greene county, a war Di3mocrat,
his opponent. This district last—fall gave a
heavy Democratic majority.
.Stroug hopes are
now entertained of the °basica oLltr. Lindsay.
Iri the counties of Westmoreland tied Fayette
Mr. Lotta, a peace copperhead, iethe Democratic
candidate, and his opponent; Peter A. johns, a
Douglas , Democrat. Mr-. Johns is canvassing
the district, and will give his peace competitor
a warm chase.
In the &it district in-Philadelphia Jeremiah
Nichols is the Union candidate, and :will, we
think, certainly beat Caldwell, his copperhead
competitbr. '
It is neceEssry for the. Union men to „carry
one of the above distric6 to Insure a majority
in the Senate--and in ,, ,case Major • Wbite, of
Indiana, is not released frowthe Libby prim'
before January, then two of' the above must be
Is -this True
The Huntingdon Globe, a reliable Derne,eratic
journal, too loyal to support Woodward 'for
Governor, and sufficiently independent to oak
its bffisence for 'Curtin, makes ifie foi:oirikkg
startling statement: -
Judge Woodward has had a loyal ,son in the
army. When this son was brough home,
; father's house in Philadelphia,, ; badly wounded'
in one leg, and while he.was receiving the kind"
attention of members of the family and neigh
bors, the Judge made his appearance at thii*bed•
room door,of the sufferer, and raising , his hands;
he saluted his son with the following language:
"It is a pity you were not shot . in &thorns., and the
other kg, for fighting in MO unholy war." This
father, traitor'is now asking Union men to Vote
for him for Governor. The soldier or soldier's
friend who can vote for him should. be kicked ,
out of all loyal soolety.
Gov. Cenral, notlxiiithstanding thewar, has'
paid nearly a million dollars of oar State
debt. Justice 'Tootlivard, - bq assuming the rebel,
debt, would more than double our present
taxes. This fact, .now a chapter in-the huto4
of as glorious and as just an administration as
ever directed the official affairs Of. the State of
Pennsylvania,, annoys our copperhead opposepts
exceedingly: And yet Gov. Curtin, by-the'"he
policy of his administratiop—'by his .tbrift' atilt
economy—by thestatesmanshiP with, whichlhil
has guided the State Government, has enable'
the proper agents:of , the Commonwealth to re
duce the State debt nearly a niillion of dollars.
The faCt son the teCord, and the result is too
i n imew to be affected by locofoco
()Ng BB*NM Abe tortes deny that, the, sol
. .
diers tire for Curtin'? proclaiming that they, are
for WOodward; and in the next the torkis Insist
that the hereps iitholiie,fi:ghting out the redeinpr
tion of the nation from iehOiteit,:are not entitled
to a vote.: : This is a - ..yery k generous style-of
treiting,friehdit.
Thomas C. HatoDownri., of late'fone of the
editors of the Patriot and Union, was announced
to address a Union meeting in Beaver, to day,
in favor of the re-election of Gov. Curtin.
A Word to the People on the Southern
Border
Iremediatety afr, r the war hvg,..u, GnuCur
tin, comprehending its mapitude, and tog
the danger which would likely follow the un
certainties of battle so the unprotected Southern
border of the Commonwealth, commenced the
organization of what was called the Reserve
Carps. The Pennsylvania Reserve Corps originated
with Gov. Curtin, and was organized principal
ly to defend the people of the counties likely to
be exposed to the sudden excursions of foraging
rebel hordes. When that Corps was fully or
ganized, when its completeness and efficiency
were admitted by the soldiers of every State in
the Union, a dreadful disaster suddenly befell
our arms in Virginia, and the failure at Bull
Run Startled the nation with horror and almost
dismay. Without a moment's hesitation or a
day's delay, Gov. Curtin hurried forward the
entire Reserve Corps, which was received at
Washington city and•hailed as the deliverersof
the Government from a peril in which, !had it
not been for these troops, it might have been
overwhelmed and lost. At the propitious hour,
th'e wise action, foresight and sagacity of Gov.
'Curtin roused the energies of the Executives of
all the loyal States, and from the PennsYlvania
Reserve Corps rose the magnificent Army of the
Potomac; an army which, had it been properly,
commanded and fought, would have crushed
rebellion in a single battle.
—lmmediately following the departure of the
Reserve Corps, at the next meeting of the Legit-
lature, Gov. Curtin recommended the. prompt
organisation of a similar body of troops, to take
the place of the corps that had gone' to the
rescue of the NatiOnal Gevernment. Gov.
Curtin urged that th&unprotected:condition of
the southermborder of the State was a constant
temptation to rebel incursionists t and that at
an unexpected moment, the Commonwealth
would be invaded, its territory desolated, its
homes destroyed and its citizens slaughtered.
What Gov. Curtin wanted, was sireply l anch a
show of Strength on the border as would intim
idate and deter all attempts at invasion:, This
could have been effectually aCcomplished by a
demonstratiOn such as would have been made
by a force of, equal strength of the Reserves,
but when the _proposition reached the Dem
ocratic majority in the Legislature, it was scorn
fully rejeoted, the Democrati6 members from
the counties most interested,, being the most
persistent in their opposition. Thus it lwas that
the ravaging of Pennsylvania' along the Cum
berland Valley was coMuimmated. Will the
people:of ,:the Cumberland Valley remember
-these facts. Let it not be forgotten that the
policy which defeated the organization of a
Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, for ,State defence,
would also defeat the organization' of other ar
mies for National protection and preservation
should Woodward he elected Governer.:
The Contest Is not Between'ltepnblicans
and Democrat's:
-
The great trick of our enemies , the remies
alike of social Order and political' pear?, is to
place the contest for Governer on: the grounds
of a political struggle between - Democrats and
Republicans. ; By doing so, the treason sympa
thizers in the North hope to arouse theiold en- 1
thuslasm, the old !energy; the
.. old;ohaAns and
the old patriotism of the . old DeMocratie party,
Which Madison awl Jacksenied, eind.with these
elements achieve a mischievous victory for
Objects dlanietrically opposed to!all the true in
terests of every State in the Union. However
shallow the trick is, it is4likely to deceido many
good men into voting fors bad man, and there
fore it is time that it were exposed and explo
ded. Instead of the contest being one between
Democrats:and RepribliCans, it is purely a fight
carried on. by the slave.peiver against Deinocrats
and Republicans, and thus .
,ny a, utdoi4 of the
honest Democracy and Rlpriblicaniii- this slave
power, this neat of-treason so long protected by
a false Deirkicracy, can only be destroyed. The
existence of what is now called the Dernocratic
party is the same as that of slavery. Bclth live in

Mswuniosnuau, Sept. 24, 1868.
The Democratic leaders of :Cumberland
county, stimulated no doubt by the successful
-fforts of these on the other side of the Unicn
question, have commenced to shake themselves ;
and on seeing numerous handbills posted around
our town, of which the folloiving is a copy, we
thought that thty had got for work in good
earnest:
" DEMOURATIO 111.y..ETA*(1!
A Democratic meeting will ,be held : at "the
public house of .H.W.lryin, in_Mechanicsburg.
on Thursday, Sept. 24th, at 4 o'clock, P..
Judge gepburp and„Col ._W. M. Penrose and
other,. prominent speakers_ will address the
Meeting on the imphitantiesueiinvolved in the
coming election: Rally Democrats, rally !
Well, in company with a half dozen Union
friends, we went.to the appointed place at the
appointed time, and, found, somewhat to our
surprise, that cid'compmy formed the
largest part of the crowd. The,. Democratic
candidate for Assembly was there ; the big guns
whose names appear en the poster were no t ;
though one of the other- prominent speakers was
on hand, an elquent : and rather` good 'Coking
person of 11261.3 gal persuasion, from Carlisle,
who appeared t i n be much disappointed, that
the great unterrified would not rally that he
might have, an opportunity to give a maiden
effort to the world.
It was said by those intiriated that the Judge
and Colonel were sick, and on that account
were absent ; but a frisad, who was in Carlisle
on the afternoon 'of the 24th, saw the former
gentleman in fine health and spirits, on horse,
back, and when' he was esked whether he was
not going to address a meeting at Mechanics
burr , said, "No, lam going out my farm."
Now, Mr.,Editor, dtnw your .own inferences.
It might not, however, be charitable to Suppose
that these gentlemen ,were ashamed to meet
the crovvd whish saighi rayy here, or reasonable
to suppose tiutt, with eyes of prophets, they
were able to see that they would not have a
corporal's guard to hear them. Yours,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—A letter from the
headquarters of the Army of the Potomac, re
ceived to-day, says that Gen. Buford, with a
portion of his division, drove the rebel pickets,
on Tuesday, through Madison Court Her He—
Three miles beyond he encountered a strong
force of the enemy's cavalry.
After a spirited fight he forced them to re
treat, and di ove them acro, , s the Rapidan at the
point where the Gordonsville pike intercepts
the river. The action reflects the highest credi t
on all our troops engaged. Our casualties were
one killed and about twenty wounded. We
took forty-five prisoners, among them Lieut.
Col. Delorey, of Cobb's Georgia Legion, and
Lieut. Bryce, and two privates of North Caro
lina regiments, seriously wounded.
Our wounded, under the care of Dr. A
Hoed, have been properly attended to, and
were brought to the division hospital at Cal
pepper.. Our wounded included Lieutenant
Hines, Fifth New York cavalry, and Lieutenant
G. Wheelock, of the Ninth. AlSo, R. Munshall,
of the Third Indiana, and Sergeants Dunnsing,
Cummings and Bell, and Corporal Bell, all of
the Eighth awl J. Jugmerson, of the
Twelfth Illinois. The last named Is a bugle
B. F. Soder, of the Third Indiana, was killed.
The Washington Min., of last evening, says
that the indications from our front to-day,
strike us as premonitory that Lee will make no
serious opposition to Meade's advance upon his
present time, it thafbe his object. We come
to' this tOntlusioil as we know that our troops
are•atteadY in position which Lee could hardly
hive surrendered without a battle, unless de
termined not to fight this side of the fortifica
tions of Richmond. We judge that Meade al
ready commands the fortificationa of the Ripi
data, which were constructed with great labor
by the rebels, or at least has them at his
mercy.
