Democratic Frauds In Pennsylvania
There are some facts connected with the re
cent astonishing vote in Pennsylvania, says the
North American, which are deserving of rather
more than a passing notice. The figures we
have already given respecting the extraordinary
iccrease of the vote in Berks county are suffi
cient to arouse investigation. But the facts
show that what is true of Berke county applies
to the whole vote of the State, as the subjoined
comparison will illustrate:

Gain
Here it is shorin that, with an aggregate
gain of 29,911 votes over the great total of
1860, the Union gain is only 6,009, while - that
of the Democrats i 3 23,902; Since that general
rally of 1869 was made, the State has sent into
the ftald 163,000 soldiers, recruited for the three
years' service. Of the 200,000 rrien reported
by. General Fry as having been discharg,edfor
physical disability, probably one-tenth were
from these 163,000, so that by, that cause some
10,000 have been returned home. Of the 88,-
000 deserters, perhaps the, same proportion were
from these 163,000 men, so that here are 8,800
men returned home. The number of men.sent
home in consequence of disabling wounds we
cannot estimate, but it would be eafe to eup-.. ;
pose them about 10,000 from this same force.
Allowing for the diminution of the force by
other causes, perhaps 30,000 would altogether
cover its returned men who were perthanently
at home to vote, and about 9,000 still in the
service were furloughed and voted at the late
election, making altogether, hs3 than 40,000.
Now of these men not' ono in ten voted the
Democratic ticket at the election this fall, and
yet the Democratic vote is increased 23,902: It
did not come from the Union' ranks, for the
lines have been very strongly diaWn all' over
the State, and the changes are just the other
way.
Indeed the statistics of the eke ion show
that the Union party, eo far from having Wet
any since 1800, has gainer in the segregate.
We polled 263,397 votes in 1860; and we polled
269,406 in 1863. Where,lhen, did the Dento
cratic increase of 23,902 come from? Of the
163,000 troops raised in the .State for three
years the Democretts must have contributed at
least one-fourth, or some 40,700, which, taken
from their, vote of 1860, Would leave about
189,300 remaining voters of that party. Let
us suppose that'of the returned soldiers they
had what we have allowed them above—one in
ten still yeti eg with them—that would be 4,000
men, increasing their vote to 103,300. Now
the natural increase of population would hardly
keep up the strength of the party beyond this
figure, when we consider the steady drain; of
the-male population for soldiers and sailers,
and the far greater drain of the Democratic .
ranks caused by the changes to, the Union side.l
These conversions are numbered by thousands,
and no one ever hears of any the other way.
Above we have the real strength of the Dem
ocratic party, estimated at about , 1.93,300.---
Yet'Viroodward polled in 1863 no less than 254,-
171 votes: How is this differenne of abciut 54
700 to be accounted tor? Unless we, believe
that no. Democrats enlisted in the army or naVy,
that no conversions to the Union side have ta
ken place, and that the party strength of 1860
was all at'home intact,: awl thafthe-incream of
population among Democrats'did noteontributs
a man to'either army'or navy, there is no other
way of explaining-this inKcieese.aggregate than
by attributiog it .to the moat, ; outrageous #nd
systematic frauds. To render the matter clear,

PoPulautri op nip Gnassaacr.s.—A Wash
ington correspondent of the New York Daily
Tulles narrates, as though it were a matter of
curiosity; the following fact:
"An eminent politician, jest returrud from
the recentPeonsylvania, canvass, states that in
al I ilie-rural, dstricts,of that State pre 'green
iinpribsely popular. Th* ate hoarded
by the farmers, mechanics and laborers. He
was assured by collectors of the Internal reve
nue tax that it was the common practice of this
yeoinarirylo pay their assessments in the local
bank note currency, and to bang cn to the
United States promises to pay. To such an ex •
tent is this preference the habit of the people,
that the collectors, embarrassed with the quan
tity of, local paper they receive, are compelled
to lose from one-eighth to one-quarter of one per
cent. to get Government notes with which 'to
make their payments into the Treasury."
This has long been well known here, and
throughout the west. It may be a matter of
wonder to some of the purblind Gothamites,
who have been opposing this great national
currency from the very ear' ; but outside of
New York city no one for a.moment entertains
any doubt respecting it. The people univer
sally have a faith in it which cannot be shaken.
They believe this currency to have supplied the
very medium so long needed for general circu
lation, and they identify very much of their
present prosperity with it.
Isvesrmars.—We hope our Union friends in
the interior of Pennsylvania feel the importance
of invesligating and exposing the systematic
and gigantic frauds perpetrated in the Demo
oratic strongholds of this State in the late eleo
tion. We have reason to believe that they ex
ceed in magnitude even the notorious frauds of
1358, whereby Buchanan became President.
The object of the recent ettort was to foist a
traitorous Governor upon us. Unless we oan
ferret out and punish the perpetrators of these
frauds, they will undoubtedly be attempted
again in the great Presidential contest of 1864
on a far more extensive scale. Let the public
see the details of these transactions, that the
districts which have inflicted them upon no
may be handed about the whole country; and
attain the notoriety and infamy they deserve.
We ask the especial attention of the Union
County Committees throughout the State to
this matter.
A washable Statement—The Secret His
talky ot-Gen.MoCle Letter In Favor
of \Woodward.
A Philadelphia correspondent of the Cham•
bersbnrg Reparitory' makes the following remark
able statedient concerning General McClellan's
letter in ' favor. of Judge Woodward for Gov•
senor; which appeared day before the election.
. _
It is from an able pen and apparently by one
who knows whereof he writes:
The letter written by Gen. McClellan in faVor
Of the election of Judge Woodward was're
ceived with mingled pain and surprise by very
many who had-,been his devoted friends. It
was well known hat he cherished for Governor
Curtin 'the warmest friendship; a grateful ap
predatioti-of the fidelity with which - he had
been sustained by the Executive of Pennsyl
vania when in command, and it was generally
believed that these oonsiderations, with his
supposed interest in and love for his old Army
of the Potomac, would make him solicitous for
the 13110635 E of Governor Curtin, regardless of
his political views. It was well known to Gen.
McClellan and his friends that Judge Wood
ward was atleart opposed to the war, and if
Chosen Governor "would have embarrassed its
prosecution inn Very way by imposing condi
tiOilfi upon th eed m nistration which; if accepted,
Would be tut the harbinger of dissolution. It
Was known that Wm. 'B. Reed, one of the lead
ing orators in behalf-of . judge Woodward, de
clared the war for the maintenance of the Union
ivairOne which the people their hearts ab

differ- with the - National Administration, it . WllB
euppoeed thet!bis regard for himself as - a sol
[filer and his desire4or the welfare of the army,
would maks:him at least a neutral in the late
strigglee . •
The fact that , General McClellan wrote the
Woodward-letter against his own -wishes and
Convictions does not in any degree mitigate his
perfidy and folly ; -but it is the truth that it was
not -a voluritary 'offering to the copperhead
cause:" I slimly state what-is confidently- as
sertedand widely known, when I declare that
devoted friend of Gen. McClellan's, Who
Other - was expressly authorised to speak 'for

success. have every reason to believe. that
such a proposition-was -made to Gov. Cortirt or
to some of his friends in-the -Tenth Legibry and
that it was the subject of serious consideratien.
The exact result of the' deliberations I do not

bore a conspicuous part, at which it was re
solved that the General must be made to throw
his voice into the contest in behalf of Wood
ward. The Doctor lad been a Douglas Demo
errir, out voted the Union ticket a year ago
when the General was in command. Since the
General was superseded and retired from a
command, the Doctor has become a bitter foe
of the Administration, and he bad resolved that
bie brother's greatness must not silently pale
before the rising sun of Woodward. It was
feared that the General could not be carried
by storm, and a system of gradual approaches
was determined upon. The State Fair at Nor
ristown was bit upon as a good shelter for the
design ; and the General was brought over
ostensibly to attend it. late came innocently
enough, and when he reached his mother's
home, to his surprise he found a regular Demo
cratic caucus there, ready to mark out a politi
cal campaign for him. Part of the programme
was to have him serenaded on sight ; make a
speech with a moderate copperhead tint ; send
him to the fair the next day in company with
Judge Woodward ; and by the influence of as
sociation carry him into the copperhead camp
by degrees. The Gdheral revolted -at the , ar
rangement ; would dot swallow the doseatall,
either pure or diluted, and like all boys kvhen
about to be dosed unpleasantly, he played
truant. When the band came according to
appointment and played "Rail to the Chief"
and other airs, the only chiefs on band were
the chiefs of the small beer politicians of Phila
delphia. The General had found a back-door
and slipped off to the La Pierre House, and the
only trophy of the movement than far was the
death of Grand. Woodward was then serena
ded, and politely informed the crowd that he
would tell them all about the war when /micas
elected Governor.
Various efforts were;made to induce General
ld'Olellan to throw himself into the political
struggle ia behalf of Woodward; but all failed.
He neither made the hoped for speech, wrote
the coveted letter, nor played companion to
Woodward at the Fair. In spite of all the
political strategy practised upon him, he retlied
to his quiet retreat in Jersey, unspotted by. an
open avowal of copperheadism. Bat the pros
pects of Woodward becoming more-and more
desperate from day to day, a renewed assault
was made upon, the General to break. down ;his
long continued reticence, and drag him into the
deadly embrace cf his country's foes. ! A .
Southern adventurer named Salomon was chosen
as their chief undertaker, and he delivered the
body according to contract in time for-the fu
neral. He approached the General in the name
of Judge Woodward was specially-authorised .
by the Judge to do so, and to assure him that
Woodward would undoubtedly be elected by
from 40,000 to 60,000, and that the only way
to make the overwhelming popular verdict
carry with it Gen. hi'etellan'a positive vindibee
tion and insure his nomination for the Presi
dency, would be for the. General to espouse -
Woodward's cause openly and thus make the
triumph measureably his own. Tiara hunted,
worried and flattered, he finally, at the very
last hour, set his house in order, made his last
political testament that anybody - will over care
to read, and sank into the embrace of the foes
of the • gallant army he once led, and of the
country that exhausted itself in fruitless effort
to make him great, and now—
"Of all
The fools who flocked to swell or see the show,
Who cares about the corpse !"
Bitter are the.,cnrsu3 now heaped upon the
little suicide. Hie letter was without fitness
in time, In address, in circumstances,impanner
and in matter, and those who goaded him to
the deed now despise him for his timid hesita
tion and childish weakness, and'all pgties in
vite oblivion as a refuge for himself and hie
blasted fame.
