The Result of the Election in Pennsyl
vania, as it Affects the Election for
President in 1864.
In the result of the election in Pennsylvania,
we discover two great controlling ideas or in
tentions of the people. In the first place, the
people sought to give the most unmistakable
evidence of their devotion to the Government.
The opposition party had made a plain issue
with the people. That issue involved the ques
tion whether there was power in the Govern
ment to maintain itself—whether an adminis
tuition representing that Government was suffi
ciently invested with power to preserve the
form and wield the authorities of the Govern
ment successfully against all opposition. If
Andrew G. Curtin had been defeated, the fact
would have been established that the Govern•
ment was incompetent for its own defence, and
of course incapable to defend others. Hence,
the compacts of such a Government would have
been regarded as perfectly useless. Rebellion
at any time could have neutralized the power of
the National authority. Bad men would have
been invited to revolution for the the meet in
significant objects, and TheiGovernment would
have thus become, in lime, the mere sport and
toy of every roving demagogue in the land. This
question was fairly understood by
,the people.
As far as the Chief Executive of a Etate could
do al, Andrew G. Curtin, in the election which
has just closed so brilliantly, represented this
priuciple, and his success may be regarded as the
successof the National Government. The entire
policy of that Government to crush rebellion, was
made an issue in the contest. Woodward and his
friends denounced taxation and execrated it as
an outrageous burden on the people. The con
scription laws were decried as an infringment
of the most sacred rights of the people. Our
military operations were ridiculed as they.
progressed, or characterized as aqts of usurpa
tion and tyranny. In this way the. opposition
forced the policy of the Government for appro
val or disapproval, on the people. The issue
was accepted, and the result proves how un
mistakably that policy has been understood and
endorsed. Henceforth let no man declare that'
the people are opposed to the most vigorous
policy to crush rebellion.:.
But the most marked result of the election in
Pennsylvania, was the 'endorsement of a man
who had sustained the President le all his acts'.
The official acts of Abraham Lincoln were as
much.- at issue in the election which has just
ended, as'were those of Andrew G. Curtin. The
endorsement of Andrew G. Curtin was also the
endorsement of Abraham Lincoln. Gov. Curtin
was charged by his opponeuts with having placed
the power of a sovereign State at the disposal of a,
Presidential dictator. He was reproached as
being only a "Provisional Governor," and our
great and glorious old Commonwealth, was ridi
culed as being a mere 'Province." This was all
done fora double purpose. It was hdpedthat the
ridicule would defeat 'Andrew G. Curtin and
bring Abraham LinOoln to disgrace. But in
both cases, the result proves the utter failure of
our opponents. Gov. Curtin was endorsed, and
hence the acts of the President are also sus
tained. By this result the people prove 'that
they are willing, nay anxious to retain those
in power who have beccenE. identified-with a
vigorous policy to crush rebellion, until that
great end has been accomplished. If this had
not been the case, George W. Woodward
would have been elected Governor of Pennsyl
vania. Had the people wanted a change in the
policy to conquer a peace, they would have
changed their Executive repreeentative, and thus
most easily secured a change of policy. Brit snob
was not the want of the people, and therefore
we infer that as certain as,the people of Penn
sylvania wanted no change in those represent
ing them in the State Government, in order
• to secure the overthrow of the rebellion,
neither do they want - a change in those
representing them in the National Govern
ment, where - the icfluerice to achieve the
same just end is expected to be more potent
and powerful. We are ready, as we believe an
overwhelming majority °t i the people in the
loyal States are also ready, to respoed to this,
decision. We believe that it will become as
essentially necessary to re-elect 4 Abraham Lin
coln President of the United gtates, in order to
maintain in- full force and authority' the
powers of the National Government, as it was
to re elect Andrew G. Curtin 'Governor of
Pennsylvania, in order to maintain the Com
' monwealth in her attitude of allegiance to the
National authority. Until that authority has
been fully vindicated, those who are now iden
tified with its enforcement should not ba
changed to make room for other unknown and
untried men in this crisis. The country needs
no change, except the dhange from war to
peace, end that can be bast secured by retaining
in power those moat identified with the policy
certain to crush rebellious war. A change of
rulers would bring a different policy, and a
change of policY would involve the danger of
disaster to the Goveinment. This the people
seem to understand, and to this we respond by
re-nominating Abraham Lincoln as the Union
candidate for President in 1864.
—We sincerely believe that the re-election of
Abraham Lincoln, President of the United
States,is now regarded by the people as One of the
eesential influences completely to crush rebel
lion. llis spotless private character has won
him the confidence of the purest man in the
land. His attitude. as a statesman is within
the,comprehension of tbe plainest citizen of the
country. He never shrouds himself in the
mysteries of diplomacy in order to do wrong.
He is always open and, frank and hot est, that,
he may be more successful in d'aing right. In
his operations to crush rebellion be has never
011613 swerved from the great object in view—
for the great purpose for whom accomplishment
millions of money have b4en contributed, and
thousands of lives devoted by the American
people—the-complete eradication of the falba
enees,whicii 'step' alive, asWell op yet elr.on
No other 'atateimitin in the lOU 94114 fp
successfully have guided the nation amid the l •
storms and billows of rebellion,as has Abraham
Lincoln. That storm still howls, and those
billows still roll their fierce (rests before a
struggling people. But the people are cool
and devoted, earnest and determined, bete-use
they know that an able band has control of the
helm. They want no change in the bead of
the nation. Calmly and patiently, and through
much suffering, we believe that they have come
to this decision. Hence we respond to it with
alacrity and respect, and regard Abraham Lin
coln as the chosen candidate of the Union men
of the Nation for re-election to the Presidency,
the same as if the fact had been decidSd by a
convention of delegates representing the loyal
sense and preferences of the people. We sin
cerely believe that Abraham Lincoln could
carry every loyal State, against any man our
opponents could name. We are satisfied that
no party of respectable -men controlled by re
spectable leaders, could be organized against
him. He has already made a platform for his
friends to stand upon—the Union and the Con
stitution—the Union impregnable and per
petual—thEt Constitution inviolate and eternal.
With such a man and such a platform, his
friends could not only become successful, but
• the great principle of free government would
become a success on this hemisphere. Let the
cry then be taken up by our brethren of the
• loyal press—Amman LINCOLN, TES 'UNION AND
THE CONSTITUTION, WITH TES SUCCESSION TO TES
PRESIDBNCY IN 1864, ONS.AND INSEPARABLE!
The Appropriation for the Support of the
COMMOU Schools.
It will be seen by reference to the general
appropriation bill of April 14, 1863, that the
$316,826, appropriated for the support of com
mon schools, I'S to be divided among the several
&striate of the State, in proportion to the num
ber of children attending school therein. We
[de not stop now to investigate this matter, so
as to express an opinion upon its merits, but
by a simple glance at the subject it will be
seen'by every one that it will materially affect
the amount received by the several districts.
Former appropriations-were divided in propor
tion to the number of taxables residin,g, in the
townships, or districts, and we see by the an
nnal reports for . IE6I and 1862, the sum per
taxable was forty cents. By the plan of di
vision for this year the districts that have sent
the most scholars to the public schools, and
sent them the most regularly, will i eceive the
most money. This must, as appears to, us,
give to some districts nearly double the sum
formerly received from the State', while the
appropriation of others will be correspondingly
small. We call attention to this now, in order
that the citizens generally may understand the
matter, and when the State appropriation is
received they may know why the amount differs
so widely from.the sums formerly approprlated:
This is a subject of invariance to all of our
citizens, and it Would be well for the local pa
pers throughout the State to call attention to
it in their editorial columns.

Editorial Correspondence of the Telegraph.]
Hemmers, October 17, 1863.
I had the pleasure• of accompanying Gov.
Curtin and his estimable lady from the State
Capital, on Friday afternoon, as far as Altoona,
where they remained all night. The next
morning the party pursued the journey for
Bellefonte, where they arrived about 11 o'clock
a. a. The visit of the Governor to the place of
his birth was unheralded, because he sought a
release from the excitement and display which
attended hiendnring his late victorious progress
over the State, and he was anxious to escape the
display of a reception as a relief from the cere
monies through which he has been passing for
so many weeks. But in this hope His Excel
lency was doomed to be disappointed. He had
scarcely set his foot upon his " native heath"
befote the fact of his arrival was noised about
the village, and presently large crowds of peo.
ple. began to gather about the Conrad House,
all anxious to see and grasp the hand of their
favorite, to renew 'their professions of devotion
to him personally, and congratulate him on the
splendid political victory he had just achieved
While the friends of the Governor were thus
welcoming him borne, preparations were at
once began to give him a formal reception in a
demonstration at once worthy of the locality,
and fitting to the occasion. It was arranged
thata meeting should be held in the Court
House in the evening. Scarcely three hours
were afforded to promulgate the intention,.but
when the hour set , for convening the meeting
had arrived, it was astonishing to behold the
immense crowd which had assembled in the
Court Route., The people came from the hills
around Bellefonte, from the valleys spread out
beyond those" hills, by Scorers , and hundreds, in
every imaginable description of conveyance,
with vivas of greeting and shouts of welcome to
Andrew, G. Curtin. I only wish that some of
those blatant defamers who so aspersed the
persenal character of the marl, and insisted dar
ing the . campaign which has just closed, that
Andrew G. Curtin was coldly regardedat home;
could have - stood on the stepwof the Conrad
House, end there behold the demonstrations
which his presence called forth in his 'pative
home. None but a true man could elicit such
feeling of respect and devotion from au intent!
gent people, as were pouted out this night in
the borough,of Bellefonte to Andrew G. Curtin.
On repairing to the Court House, I found the
main room perfectly jammed with people.
Every teat w,,is every place capable of
being occapied„ was in possession of some anx
ious individual patiently waiting
. to see and
hear "the coming man. The bar was. occu
pied by the ladies,-then. whom, by the way,.
the Commonwealth affords none more: stately
amoog her dames, or more fair among ler fair
est daughters. These added their emiles•to the
brilliancy of the scene. A-nd it was a magnifi.-
mut scene,
truly. Flags were displayet from
the chandeliers—at each end of the Judge's
Bench, large American flags were draped, while
above the stand ware hung evergreen wreathe,
encircling various mottoes, expressing either
high admiration for Governor Clutha, or, telling,
in terse language, the services which he had*
rendered ; his country, and aka dieinterested re
gard in which-be is held bY the la aye defenders
of tbe Government.
E. C. Humes, Esq., called the meeting to or
der, and nominated H. N. Mac Allister, Esq.,
as the presiding officer. Along list of Vice Plea
dents and Secretarlea were also nominated, and
then, on motion of E.. C. Humes, a committee
of twenty live was appointed to wait on Guy.
Curtin and conduct him to the Court House.
lan short time the committee, beaded by a
lull band of music, in chat ge of the distinguished
(guest of the evening, appeared in the room,
Iwhen the itainense-audience of ladies and gen
tlemen-rdte--to theiret; tbe ladieswaving their
?kerchiefs, thel ge`iatleniete` :shouting - and the
band meanwhile playing an inspirair.tll
will not attempt to describe the scene, because,
like all theme who were present, I was intoxi
cated with the enthusiasm of the moment, and
for a time forgot my duty as a journalist. After
Gov. Cattle bad entered the Bar, and the tee
pie had resumed their seats,
H. N. ldecAllister addressed the Governor in
a speechsof welcome. He alluded to the fact
that rho visit of Gov. Curtin was entirely a
surprise. Had it been knswo abroad, that
Andrew G. Curtin would be in Bellefonte on
the occasion—had the people known in time
that he would be in Bellefonte on this evening,
the town would have been filled with the sturdy
yeomanry of the country, emulous to do him
honor and ardent to bid him welcome. As it'
was, such as were apprised of his appearance in
Bellefonte, were present to bid him welcome—
to bid him welcome as their friend and neighbor
—to bid him welcome as their chosen chief
magistrate, as one of the ablest champions of
the purest cause which ever engaged the attar
.tion of mankind. Mr. Mac Allister then referred
at length to the great services which Governor
Curtin had rendered the National Govern
ment. He repeated the history of the admin
istration of the State Government for the past
three years—a history fraught with stirring
events,emblazoned with brilliant achievements,
and made immortal by the most patriotic sacri
fices. It was a history in which the people of
Centre county felt a large pride--it was a
history of which they would claim a large share,
because one of their immediate neighbors and
fellow citizens, a ri an who was born and reared
in their midst, had stamped his own name in
indelible characters upon its broadest pages --,
Mr. Mac Allister alluded farther to the great
services of Gov. Curtin, services which I need
not repeat in' this letter, as they will be chront:
°led wherethe world can ever behold and ad min
them, when - the record of the great struggle to
maintain Constitutional law and civil liberty
is completed. From these allusions Mr. Mac-
Allister proceeded to refer to the manner in
which the campaign for Governor had been
conducted, the malignancy with which Gov.
Curtin bad been' mailed—the bitterness with
which his personal character bad been traduced
—the persistenpy with whic'o his political acts had
been misrepresented; and the criminality with
which his sentiments had been perverted. And
what was the result of all this ? How did the
people respond to the contumacy with which
the copperheads attacked the personal and offi
cial character of Andrew G. Curtin? By re
electing him Governor of Permssthernia, exclaimed
the speaker, with a withering emphasis, which
elicited a --
ereepolase in thunders of applause.
Mr. MacAllistel referred to other facts which
transpired in the campaign, facts creditable to
Gov. Crustier, and facts, also, most disgraceful
to his opponents ; alter which he formally bid
His Excellency welcome to his native home.
As Mr. Mamilliater concluded, the band be
gan to play Home, wed Home, while some sol
diers who were present, proposed " Three cheers
for Andrew G. Curtin, the Soldiers' friend." Again
the great crowd of reople rose to their feet,
shouting, waving hate and 'kerchiefs, and ty
every possible demonstration, evincing how
sincere was the welcome: In the midst of the
excitement
Gov. Curtin stood before his old friends, and
essayed to address them. He would not permit
himself to believe that the demonstration of
the evening was intended for him, pereonally,
as to think so would be egotistical in the ex
treme. Still he felt that he was the representa
tive of a priociple which was worthy of this
popular recognitiou, because it was a principle
tratinencihg the noblest purposes of a free govern
ment, as well as affecting the highest destinies
of iree,men. In the political contest which
had just closed, that principle constituted the
main issue. It resolved itself into the ques
tion whether there was power in the Govern
ment to sustain itself—whether there was force
in the law to prevent its violation. The peo
ple had declared that Urges was such power and
force both in the government and the law, and
as all free government and just laws are de
rived directly from the people the decisioec
must be accepted as perfectly fair 'and right- ,
sous. Three years ago he aspired to beceme
Governor in order to satisfy a manly ambition.
He felt, three years ago, that there was to be
honor won in reaching the eminence of Chief
Magistrate of a powerful Commonwealth. The'
honor had been won and worn. It brought
sextons days and sleriplees nights. It imposed
laborious duties, and demanded unceasing vi
gilance. Hence; so far as the honor of wielding
Executive power is concerned, he was fully'
satisfied;
and had hie fellow citizens decreed
otheiirise, he would have sought the repose
and comforts of his old home, Without a single
regret for lost power, and with every satislac
tion for regained privacy and tranquil pleasure. I
Bat the people had decided that he should be a
candidate, and therefore he had entered the
contest with a seal which would be satisfied
with nothing but success. He was anxious to
triumph beeause he knee* that success would
enable him to be of service to the National
Goverumeot. .He labored for victory
because he fervently believed that the
Success of the principle which he re
presenteds involved the certain success of
the efforts of the Fediral Government to
crush rebelion. Gov. Curtin referred to what
Pennsyliania had contributed of men and
money to sustain the President, and then de
clared in the moat emphatic terms that so far as
his authority would permit him to do so, all the
power of the Slate in men and money should be
poured out to defend and sustain the National
Government. It mattered not with him whether
it was a white or a black or a red man, so that
he was able to fight, he would arm him to
defend' and uphold the Government. He
would arm the Beira if it was necessary to preserve
this 'Government. Gov. Curtin alluded to the
issues which had grown out of the war. When'
the rebels struck at the Government, they were
sanguine of success. There was a party at the
North which constantly engaged in extolling
the superior valor. of ihe people of the South.
It confidently predicted that the Govern
ment could never crush rebellion. The South
would never, yield I Southern valor was invia
cible.. Such were the claims With which the
peace men sustained the rebellion. But since
it began to be demonstrated that the Govern
ment, had the power at its command and. was
using it - to crush rebellion, these same peace
men were urging, that the war wee for the ne
gro—that the struggle was for the emancipation
of the slave. If the struggle does bring a ray
of light and hope to the slave, the slave owner
had bit:resell to thank. If negro slavery per
ishes before the mighty progress of this Gov-
eminent, struggling. to preserve itself from a
a fierce rebellion, those who. had pecuniary in- '
terests invested in the institution, were referred '
for the cause of their calamities, to the corrup
tion of slavery. The negro had nothing to do
with the cause of the war.: lie was passive in.'
the contest. He never asked to fight for the
success of the rebellion. He was only accepted
as a soldier in defence of the Government when'
peril seemed to augment with every increasing'
hour, add when the fate of the Republic was
most uncertain. Then rthe negro took arms.
Gov. Curtin spoke of having armed three buns
dred negroea in the city of Harrisburg, and,
declared that while he had paid all other troops!
voluateererg for the defence of the capital, the
uegro soldiers in the emergency had never asked
or t easived a penny.
Gov. Curtin referred to the situation in its.
present aspect, remarking, he sincerely balkved
that all which was wanted now effectually to
crush rebellion, was vigorous measures on the
part of the Government and active support
from the people. He called on the people to
fill up the ranks of the army. He called on
the states to support the Government—to sus
tain the President. All that was wanted was
the demonstration of a large force sof men.—
The rebellion was - literally "on its heat legs."
It•was fast toppling to pieces. kelogle disc;
tive blow would end it forever. If the proper
force was displayed ' he did not believe that
another of those pitched battles which result
tu...ruch death and carnage, would ever be
fought. IL did not believe that the rebels
would attempt further to oppose themselves
against our forces, provided such forces were at
once made formidable and overwhelming.
In reference to the vote of B Alefonte, and
the manner in which he was supported in other
portions of Centre county, he expressed him
self highly grateful. Bellefonte had almost
doubled her majority for him, while in Boggs
township the vote was equally flattering. From
other topics Gov. Curtin returned to the dis
cussion of the great necessity of supporting the
war and the Government. He repeated his
determination to turn all the power and the
resources of Pennsylvania in that direction.
He pledged himself to leave no official effort
untried to crush rebellion, and declared that if
any man had voted for hima in the hoPe that
be would end this war on any other ground
but the complete vindication of the Govern
ment and the fullest enforcement of the law,
that man had made the greatest mistake of his
life in thus voting.
I do not attempt, of coarse, to give anything
like a synopsis, mu.% less write a description of
Gov. Curtin's speech. It was like himself,
however, in spirit and sentiment. It breathed
a loyalty which is immortal, and a devotion to
the government which quails before no obsta
cles. Those who heard it, have had their af
fections for Andrew G. Curtin improved and
enlarged, because it was a speech which made
its impression alike upon the understanaing
and the regards of men. At its conclusion, the
vast audience responded with hearty enthu
siaem, and then retired , from the court room
giving expression to the satisfaction with which
they had listened to their friend and ntighbor,
Andrew. G. Curtin.
There are many incidents connected with, the
visit of Gov. Curtin tcißellefonte on this 0CC9, 1
aim), which I am reludantly compelled to
omit, as this letter has already exceeded its
intended length. Suffice it to write, that the
reception of Gov. Curtin was brilliant and com
plimentary, alike a credit to the'men vilioAen
dered and the man who received it. W. F.
