From the Westmorelan4 Republic= Many an anxious heart was relieved by the announcement of the nominations made and the resolutions passed by the Democratic Con vention of the 17th instant. They have been hailed with universal sanction, and have in spired confidence in the success of that great party in Which the hopes of the eOuntry are centered. Of the various gentlemen named for 'Gover nor—all eminent for ability, for purity and patriotism—George. W. Woodward was, to a, cursory observer, the least likely to ; be chosen, • for, he was not announced until the convention was about to meet, he was without pledged friends and had taken no part in the prelimi nary canvass. We solemnly believe that the union of all the members of the convention by which hie name was presented for the suff rages of the people, was the inapiratiOn of a merciful Providence ; and we rejoice in this evidence of the returning favor or Heaven, to which we owe so much and for which we have been so ungrateful. The severe trials through which we have passed'are the just punishment of our national offences. We have been cursed with tyranny' because we had not justly valued liberty. Libations of blood and enortnons treasure have been poured,out to recall ua to our duties and atone for our neglect of them. The very excesses of the 'Federal executive. and their agents, the wantonness of the wrongs they inflicted, their bold avowals of usurpa tioq, their insolent disregard of the Constitu tion, of the public will, of their oaths, and their duty, their assumption of arbitrary power 'as superior to the law of the land, their in sidious attacks on the Federal. Union, the sovereignty of the States and the freedom of citizens, have been, we humbly believe, the sharp but sure meats, designed by God, to arouse in dur bosonis the sliimbering spirit of of our fathers, to inspire uswith their patriot ism, understanding , and; resolution. Let him who thinks this language too strong, calmly consider the character of the candi dates, and candidly examine the resolutimps of the convention—the one too pure for slander and the other too wise for impeachment—and he will join us in joy for the prospect, glowing in the future, of the deliveranee which is drawing nigh. We commend such examination especially to our. Republican fellow-citizens, the masses of whom are true and patriotic, , and all of whom have like interests with us, in that which con corns the public good. With the exception of the extortioners and plunderers and office hol ders, there are few Republicans who approve the conduct of the administration—there are few who do not feel that the war has been in famously mismanged, and that the laws which protect persons and property have been gross ly violated. Pride of supposed consistency, strong desire to sustain the government, and horror of the rebellion, induce many. honest men to suppress the avowal of condemnation • .. - . pounce. The ballot heir Panto. ' LIZ we are content to anteal. mp result ofa free and fair vote we Will gladly abide: Ti,, however, the Federal executive shill, by`mili-' tary power, deprive us of this last refuge and remedy, whether by armed interference or by sending soldiers of their own party to vote the people down, the time will then havei arrived for resort to the reserved 'rignts which are asserted by the sw,ord, and without which tyranny would bneternal. ' I . Ve 'do •nOt; believe. the administration will 'dare thus directly to, i n vade the freedom of eleotionti, though,Of course, all the minor means of drception, cor ruption and intimidatiOn will be resorted to. These we do not fear, for 'the virtue of the pt&ple is proof againstlhem. ' It' is true that in the Delaware eleetien there was direct military interference, and in Con necticut the election was carried by einding home Abolition soldiers to. vote, while the Democrats were kept-in camp and* thus de barred from exercising thin, right.. , But Penn sylvania is neither Delaware nor Connecticut. Too vast to be affected by all •the .volunteers who can be misled, too powerful to be insulted with impunity, the cowardice of contemplated crime will recoil from. the attempt* to control her by these wicked' means. If all" our sol diers could vote, it would , undoubtedly add largely to the Democratic. majority. • Let us rest cOetent. ; There is utilbersdOnht nor difficulty.: Victory assured.- The Con stitution will be vindicated, the Union will be restored, freedom- will be secured. • IF coin the ti et tysbur g Compiler Judge Woodward is a sound patriot and statesman, Titre and spotless. His eleetioo, which we confidently look for by a 'tremendous majority, will place Pennsylvania in es gooda position as the electio,n of Seymour has placed the great State of New York. Rally, then, Democrats; and all other con eervatives, for WoridwaVd, , Ldwrie and victory From thtelfoinlitOwn negt.t4* It will be l obseried' front the proCeedings of the Democratic State Convention, to. be found in another `column, that the candidates pre sentetl for the suppoit of the Democratie .and Constitution-loving citizens of Pennsylvania, are goo. George W. WOOdWard, Luzerne county, for Governor, and Hob. Walter EL Lowrie, of Pittsbttrg, for Judge 'of the Su preme Court. These are, beyond' dispute, very able nominations, and a better ticket could hardly have been 'selected. They are . both first class men in every respect, and must command the confidence of the people gene rally. They are the right men for the places, and their election be a guarantee to the people that they can rest secure in the enjoy ment of all their constitutional` rights. With Woodward for Governor and Lowrie upon the Supreme Bench, the people may rest assured that no interference will be allowed` with any of their rights as citizens of the State of Penn sylvania, from any source. That they, will be elected there is no doubt. As certainly as the second Tuesday of October comes round, so certain is thcir election. " Old Montgomery" will roll up one of the largest majterittea tot' Woodward and Lowrie ever yet polled Within her limits. Mark the prediction! From the York Democratic Press. • , . We coogratalate the Democracy of Pennsyl vania upon the nomination of a candidate for Governor of this glcirifiuS old Co , iptoonwealth, who is in every wny qixelVted to take the helm Of the ship of Stale a 4 ihie imminent &leis.— When we, many "weekssince, suggested the name of this distinguished gentleman for that posiiion, we feaiad that the politicians of the State might not'be prepared'to* magnanimously surrender their predilections in favor of a par ticular man, so readily asthcy, have done, ,lit, support of one so^wcirthy, able . pnd puts. The nomination willaneet with a cordial, and en thusiastic approval thropkhoig the State, and a still more hearty approval at the polls, on PRICE TWO CENTS the second Tuesday ofGetober nest. It seems that the feeling in favor of Judge Woodward has beennigrowing in all portions of the State for some time 'past, and it needed only the surrender of the personal preferences of the delegates to the convention, to at once indi cate in'whoM they had unbounded confidence, and towards Whom as a standard bearer this fall, and as the Governor' of the State, the hearts of the people were turned, as one of strong mind and firm hand, in whose care could be confided with safety the destinies of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Our present worthy Chief Justice of the Su preme'Bench, Hon. W. H. Lowrie, was nomi nated as the candidate for Supreme Judge. From lhe Juniata True Democrat We present to our readers. this week, the names of the persons who were nominated by the Democratic State Convention at Harris burg, °tithe 17th inst.; the announcement of which thrilled the hearts of hundreds of thou sands of Democrats with joy, beyond descrip tion. The Hon. Gectege W. Woodward is one of the ablest lawyers, most profound jurists, and far seeing and" patriotic statesman of Pennsylva nia's sons. His political record is without spot or blemish ; even the rankest Abolitionist will find it difficult to say aught against it, while his personal and moral character is irre proachable and invulnerable to' the shafts of fanaticism's slanderous tongue. To the Hon. Geo. W. Woodward we can con scientiously give our most cordial and hearty support, for we know him to be one of the most loyal,, patriotic and able statesman that the Democratic party could possibly have selected. In his hands the Commonwealth will be per fectly secure, and bdoro him the political sharks and shoddy contractors will disappear as mist before the mernintsun ; and our glori ous old Commonwealth again resume her place as the Keystone of the. Arch,, that, by fraud, misrule and corruption had nearly been brought to ruin. We are sure that at this time no bet ter. • selection,could possibly have been made.— A man with such intellectual endowments, pro found legal knowledge; thorough statesman ship, pure and unsullied moral character must necessarily gather around the Democratic stan dard., the wise, the good and the pattiotio, to the utter discomfiture and defeat of all the fa natical Abolition combinations of the day. In Walter IL • Lowrie we have a man whose vast experience as a jurist, strict integrity and tried loyalty eminently fit him for the Supreme Bench, and render him an ornament to the ju diciary. His moral as well as political.cha'r soars so high beyond reproach, that comment oo our part would be perfectly superfluous. Let the,Demaeracy of Pennsylvania, and all who are favorable to State rights and prefer Constitutional liberty, to despotism and ty ranny, or, worse still, anarchy, rally round our standard-bearers, , and victory will again perch upon our banner, and the State be once more rescued from Abolition rule. From the Luzerne Union More than any other nomination we bare ever known, that of Judge Woodward was made by the people. He never sought it—not a siogle county in the State had instructed for him— no partisan management was resorted to, to place him in , this high position—no pally drill or machinations characterized it in any way. On the other hand, the piople, with one ac cord, felt that this was a time why ibf RA , the man and. P-----4,xg-12- litiethel'eemint es it litaitublie Ohanteter needs no encomium at our hands. But hailing as he dons from, our midst, it may be expected of us to give a brief sketch of his personal his tory. Our candidate' is a native of Wayne 'county.' He came to:Wilkei Barre when quite a young man, to attendthe school of Dr. Orton, the then , principal of the. old Academy, under whose tuition he completed hie acacietaie.'edu cation. He 'then 'went to Geneva, Nita York, Where he graduated in 'the same class with Governor Seymour;; .and (between whom we understand there has ever existed.the firmest friendhip. About the year 1828 or '2O Geo. W. 'Woodward entered upon - the study of law in tbe office of Garrick -ESq. Upon the appointment of the latter;gentleman to the ,liidgship of the Northampton district, young Woodward took Cherie ,of 111 r. Mallery's ex, tensire practice, and hi a very short time at tained a'high - position at the bdr. His hlenr legal anti logical mind,iitia untiring industry; and the unswervingintegrity of his character; made him a, marl; etadmiration far beyond' his Years', among the SCotie, the Ooninghams, the . ltfClintecke,'fbe Denisons, and the other great, and distinguished minds then composing the Luzern bar.'Thus much , fo' his early yoari hood in the profession of which he has , since become "so bright tn Ornament'. His sebse queitt attaitnients are too well' known to'nee4 further reference. From the unaided boy VO' has becomeiras Jawyer -and a jurist, many- . passed in the 18tate; .while ; his learning, his ability, his unspotted life, and ldst, though not least; his orthcido'x'Detriticracy, all' pointed 'to hitusi the proper men in the present crisis to direct the,deetiniesi of. this great. Common wealth. As we have before min in these , col 111M18, t'ennsylvania needs at this time, such .a mind att.Judge..Woodward:a to preside over her destinies. , He , is a Democrat who knows her rights as a State,' and knowing will maintain them. Old litittlne feels duly honored by her slitter bountlesiii their choice for Governor . ; and we'feel safe in saying in her behalf that she - will sendforth such a greeting to her , fel : - low Demccrts on the second Tuesday of Octo-' ber as will satisfy them of her appreciation.Of the compliment. We see nothing to prevent. the election , of Judge Woodward by at least 1011000 majority. Parawrism.—W hen in the history of nations Was there known a people so. devoted, who made such sacrifices, submitted to such wrongs, yet remained so patient as the American peo ple? Does the administration et 'fail to ap preciate this? or do they perhaps fully appre ciate it and presume too much on it In all directions, from all parties, the cry comes up-.7-"lYhat do the administration mean ?" The journals of every party write in remonstrance. Even the N. Y. Tones, the steadfast apologist hitherto for every act of the administration in the interest of radical ism, is compelled to yield before the popular sentiment which sweeps through all classes'of citizens, and one voice from all parts of the land fiddresees itself in Warning tones to the President of the United States. The hour is one of the most memorable in our national history. It isio party voice, no political clap trap, no cry of demagogues which now' goes forth; it is but the utterance of a free people, united- in sentiment, united in defence of an cient principles of liberty, of which we, before all nations on earth, are the defenders. For onte the administration' bas gaited the North; and' they , agree. Party differences 'ianish in presence of,.'what is, felt to be a national peril. Again'we Call on the Minds of the President ''to make the truth known to him.

HUSBAND CATCHING.-011 a certain divine an anecdote is'told which ,Heok_ueed to say exceeded any specimen:of tObl assurance that he had seen exhibited. A young clerical of his, staying at a friend's / 1 9 1 M, -happened to be sitting up one night reading, after the fam 'ily, as he supposed, had retired to rest. The door opened and his excellent hostrepppeared in his dressing gown and slippers. "My dear boy," said the latter, Heating him self, and looking pathetically at his guest, "I have a few words to say, don't look alarmed, they will prove agreeable enough to yau, rely upon it. The fact is, Mrs.—and Myself have observed the particular attention which you have paid to Betsey. We. eau mete every allowance, knowing your excellent principles as we do for the diffidence which has hitherto tied yciur tongue, but it has been carried far enough. In a worldly point of view, Betsey of course might do better, yet we all have the highest esteem for your character and disposi tion, anti then our daughter, she is very dear to us. and when her happiness is at stake, all minor considerations must give way. We have therefore after due deliberation, I must own not altogether without hesitation, .nutele up our mind to the match. What must be must be; you are a worthy fellow, and, therefore, at a word, you have our free will and consent. Only make our child happy Wad we ask no more." The astonished divine, half petrified, laid down his book. "My dear, sir !" he began to murmur, "there is some dreadful mistake. I really never thought of this, I never intended." "No, no, I know you did not. Your modes ty is one of those traits which has made, you so deservedly a favorite with us all. But my dear boy, a parent's eyes are chary. Anxiety sharpens them. We saw well enough what you thought so well concealed. Betsey, too, is just the girt to be won. Well, well, say no more about it ; it's. all over now. God' bless you both l Only make her a good husband— here she is. I have told Mrs—to bring her down again, for the sooner you young folks are out of suspense the better. Settle this matter as soon as" you like ; we leave you together." , Thus saying the considerate papa bestowed a most affectionate kiss upon his daughter, who was at this juncture led into the room by her mother; both in dishabille, ' shook his future son-in-law cordially by the hand, and with a "there, go, .go along, Mr---," turned hiswife out .of the room, and left the lovers (?), to . tete. a tete.
