TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 7, 1863.
THE NOMINEES OF THE DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION.
From the Philadelphia Age
The result of the recent Democratic State
Convention has produced an enthusiasm in the
ranks of the Democracy that was rarely, if
ever, equaled in the history of the Democratic
party. In this city the nominations made by
that body are hailed with the greatest satisfac
tion and delight ; and, from the manner in
which they were received by the people who
had crowded to Harrisburg from all parts of
the State, there is no doubt that the same feel
ing extends tthroughout the length and breadth
of the Commonwealth..
There were a number of true and faithful
Democrats presettted to that convention for tit;
gubernatorial nomination. They had many
warm and enthusiastic friends who fairly, and
honorably pressed their chcilce upon the dele
gates. Struggling in generous rivalry to se
cure the object of their wishes, they permitted
no bitterness nor rancor to disturb the har
mony and unity of action, which, in this crisis,
was demanded of their' representatives by the
Democratic masses. Now that the contest is
over, not only the candidates themselves, but
all their friends, unite in standing together
under the old flag that so often led our party
to victory. The platform Wall adopted without
a dissenting voice, in the midst of the most
enthusiastic cheering; and the sound doctrines
it boldly enunciates will find an answering echo
in the heart of every Democrat of Pennsyl
vania.
George IV. Woodward, the nominee for Gov
ernor, is widely known in this Commonwealth.
He is, at present, one of the Judges of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, to which high
and exalted position he was elected by a large
majority. He is a Democrat without a blemish
upon his political record, and has never wa
vered in his devotion to the great doctrine of
State rights and strict Constitutional construc
tion. lie is unyielding in his attachment to
the freedom of speech, the liberty of the press,
and the rights of all the citizens, under the
Constitution. As a lawyer and a jurist, he
stands in As front rank of his profession.--
His learning, his ability, his pure and blame
less life, his sound and orthodox Democracy,
and the many estimable qualities which endear
him to all who know him, make him a candi
date who must command the entire support of
the Democratic organization, and win the re
spect and admiration of every true friend of
the Union, the Constitution, and the laws, He
did not seek the proud position which has been
conferred upon him by the convention. It
sought him, unsolicited by a single word or
action of his own. The news of the
came to him as unexpectedly as if it had
fallen upon the humblest citizen in the State ;
and his bearing from this time until the great
struggle is over—crowned, as we believe it to
be, with.success—will prove him to be a can
diaate in every way worthy of the party
which Detected him as its standard bearer in
the most critical and important period of its
history.
The selection, by acclamation, of Walter H.
Lowrie, as the Democratic nominee for the
supreme Dench, was equally proper and patri
otic. Judge Lowrie was elected to the Bench
in 1851, and ever since his occupancy of that
position he has shown himself to be a true man
and a consummate jurist. His private life is
irreproachable, and his public services have
all indicated ability and patriotism of the
highest order. Long before the convention
assembled, it was conceded that the nomina
tion was due him, and that the Democratic
party could not perform a nobler action than
io continue him in the high office he has filled
with so much dignity and ability. The an
nouncement of his nomination, although ex
pected, occasioned the most heartfelt satisfac
tion ; and the intense pleasure it produced
was an earnest tribute to the commanding
talents and acknowledged worth of a tried and
faithful public servant,
With such candidates the Deraooratio party
cannot fail to win a glorious triumph. They
would prove a tower of strength to any organi
zation. Not only the principles they believe
in, but the men themselves must command the
serious attention of every honest voter. These
are the times when the State needs the services
of her best and truest sons. Perils of no or
dinary nature surround our unhappy country.
That the people will earnestly ponder upon
these fasts cannot for a moment be doubted.
The restoration of the Union and the preser
vation of the Constitution are now the only
watchwords of the Democratic and conserva
tive messes, who are rallying together under
one banter, and who are inspired by only one
motive—the preservation of the Republic. In
tae elebtion of George W. Woodward and Wal
ter H. Lowrie, the friends of an undivided
Union) of a restored Constitution, of freedom
of spelich, of liberty of the press, and of ell
the inestimable rights which belong to the citi
zen ani the State, will secure a lasting triumph.
With Unflagging zeal and with unabating ener
gy welshall labor for their success at the polls ;
and nt prouder nor more pleasant duty ever
summoned us to work than the cause in which
we art now engaged, and which, we sincerely
feel, i 3 the cause of a common and beloved
c onntly.

lion. George W.Woodward, the accomplished
statesman, jurist and scholar—a nomination
eminently fit to be made ! a consummation that
we had ardently hoped for—and one that we
are rejoiced to know has been realized. We
had often said, within the broad limits of our
Commonwealth, we knew of no man that com
bined so many essential qualities absolutely
necessary for the position at the present time,
as he. We with many others would have ad
voooted his claims before the nomination was
made, but with characteristic modesty he de
clined having his name thrown into the contest,
but the convention, with commendable wisdom,
has named him for Governor, and already the
response has come up from all parts of the
commonwea lth, "the best nomination that
could be made." His election, it seems to us,
cannot be doubtful. .He stands upon the same
platform as did Horatio Seymour, of New
York, "a legitimate, vigorous prosecution of
the war for the restoration of the Union," and
patriotic masses of the old Keystone emula
ting the worthy sons of the Empire State, will
not fail to roll up an immense majority for the
noble standard-bearer as well as the cause at
issue.
We congratulate the Democracy on the fact
that we can enter the campaign at this trying
°PIM With a candidate whose ability and
character are worthy the high position to
which he has been nominated, and eminently
fit him, as we believe, to discharge his whole
duty to the country. Judge Woodward is not
a politician of that class which cluster around
baftooms and oyster cellars, seeking position
and place, but a statesman of elevated charac.
ter, dignified manners, schooled in the books
of political polity rather than the wires of
party. it is for this reason we thank the con
vention for his nomination and congratulate
the Democracy of the Commonwealth in the
selection of a man worthy their confidenciiind
the cause intrusted to his care.
Hon. Walter H. Lowrie, (now Chief Justice,)
was nominated by acclamation for the position
of Judge of the Supreme Court. The fact that
he was thus nominated, after holding the po
sition for ten years, of itself is the best com
pliment that can be paid him. At the present
time we need such men as Judge Lowrie on the
bench—men who, while they respect the au
thority of the Executive and Lgislature,
the same time assert and enforce the power of
the Judiciary. We do not, wish to see one
branch of the government infringe upon the
rights of the others, and the way to prevent
this, is to elect men who will neither attempt
it, nor permit it if attempted.
Our district and county nominations are
now also full, and we can, without hesitation,
recommend the whole ticket. The Democracy
of weatmoreland have placed in nomination.
for the Legislature Messrs. John Hargnett and
John W. Riddle; these gentlemen with John
B. Chambers, of our own county, are therefore
the nominees of the district. We are not per
sonally acquainted with the Westmoreland
gentlemen, but have no doubt the "Star of
the West," has given us good men. Mr. Cham
bers is well known in the county and will
make, we have no doubt, a faithful and active
member of the House. His constituency end
the party will not suffer in his keeping. Our
county ticket is composed of gentlemen of rare
qualifications for the positions to which they
have been named. Indeed we doubt if ever
we had a full ticket excelling the one now
named. Some of the candidates have already
served the public in offices of trust, and the
discharge of their duties has been so satisfac
tory, that we are not astonished that their re
ward has come in the form it has.
Those of the ticket who are before the pub
lic for the first time as candidates are in every
way worthy the position, and well qualified to
discharge the duties of their respective offices.
Armstrong county will honor herself in elect
ing the ticket the Democracy have placed in
nomination.
From the Wayne County Herald
THE NOMINEES OF THE DEMOCRATIC CONVEN
TION. - The Democratic State Convention,
which met at Harrisburg on Wednesday of
last week, discharged its duties in a manner
which meets with general satisfaction through
out the entire Commonwealth. The resolu
tions reported by the committee and adopted
amid the most unmistakable demonstrations
of approbation by the convention are such as
must meet the approval of every true lover of
his countrf; pledging the party as they do, to
every necessary constitutional measure for
the restoration of the Union, while they de
nounce, in language not to be misunderstood,
the imbecility and fanaticism which have chars
acterized the rule of the present Republican
administration and well-nigh wrought the
overthroW of our liberties.
In regard to the candidates put in nomina
tion by the convention whose names we place
at the head of our columns this week it is pro
bably necessary to say but little. With the
Hon. Mr. Witte, who was content to waive his
own claims to the position in order that the
Hon. George W. Woodward should be made
the standard-bearer of the Pemovraey during
the coming political struggle, we feel that the
characters of our candidates stand so high "it
would hardly be just to praise them, since
that might imply that commendation was ne
cessary." It is surely needless to enlarge
upon the merits of Judge Woodward, here in
the county of his birth, and among those who
have watched his career from boyhood only to
find him- as true to the cardinal doctrines of
Democracy, and as faithful in the discharge of
every moral obligation, as the principles—
moral and political—which it is his pride to
represent and exemplify, are themselves im
mutable. Once again in the history of our
country...and the exception occurs at a time
when the unfavorable condition of public af
fairs gives it a peculiar significance—the offi
ces have sought the men; and Judge Woodward
and Lowrie will be elevated to positions of
honor and trust, not as the result of their own
aspirations, but as the unanimous choice of
a party who know by their past record that the
future interests of the Commonwealth may
safely be entrusted to their bands.
From the Berwick Gazette
JUDGE WOODWARD.—The Abolition papers
of Philadelphia, with one exception, are com
pelled to speak well of Judge Woodward.
The Bulletin thinks his nomination a wise
movement, and says "he is an able lawyer and
it gentleman." The worst it can say of him
is that he is a "bitter Democrat," but as that
reproachful term hpplies with equal foro t 9
over two hundred thousand voters in this
State, we rather think the Judge can survive
it.
The Inquirer says of Judge Woodward :
"The Democratic State Convention exhibited
much more good judgment in the selection of
its nominee than in the character of its resolu
tions. Judge Woodward is a citiacn of unim
peachable character, an able jurist, and a
patriotic gentleman."
Forney's Frees, however, with the falsehood
and malignity peculiar. to it, attempts to cast
a slur upon his legal ability. It says : "He
possesses high personal oharaoter, and, if not
a brilliant member of the' bar, has at least

The Press also says ! “Perhape the, reioet
distinguished trait of this gentleman's chiiiac
ter is the fact that., under the cover of the er
mine, he has been a pertinacious beggar for
this nomination."
This is false. Judge Woodward has never t
by word or deed, indicated a desire to be Goi
ernor. His nomination was entirely unsought
by him—it was a voluntary tribute of the Con
vention to his merits as an honest man, and
an enlightened patriot. The office in this case
sought the man—not the man the office.
From. the Monroe Democrat
OUR NOMINEES.—We heartily congratulate
the Democratic party upon the success of our
late State Convention, placing in nomination
the gentleman whoee name appears at:the hei4
of Another column, there to remain until after
the next October election, having been elected
by a rousing and overwhelming majority.
The political contest is to be between the
Democracy and Law, against the fanatics and
force.
• Our next Governor does not only require to
be a man of irreproachable character and great
public experience ; but he must also possess
stern firmness to insist upon the restoration of
the majesty of Law—one who thoroughly com
prehends the genius of our institutions, and has
studied the "essence of law."
It will appear to every person ; that George
W. Woodward, at present one'of the Judges of
the Supreme Court, possesses all the necessary
qualifications for the dreaded time that'is -
be
fore us. Judge Woodward holds a high posi
tion as an expounder of the law. He can appear
as our Governor, with the Constitution in his
hand, and from its brief pages define the plat
form of the law-abiding Democracy, sworn to
perform by him, as the Executive.
In all parts of our State the nominations are
hailed with the greatest satisfaction and de
light..
Judge Woodward is a true Democrat, with
out a blemish upon his political character, and
is unyielding in his attachment to the freedom
of speech, the liberty of the press and the rights
of all the eitimens under the Constitution,
He did not seek the proud position which
has been conferred upon him by the Conven
tion. The news of the nomination came to him
as unexpectedly as if it had fallen upon the
humblest citizen in the State.
The selection by acclamation of Walter H.
Lowrie, as the Democratic nominee for the
promo Bench wag equally proper and patiiiitic. -
Judge Lowrie was selected to the bench in 1851,
and ever since his occupancy of that position
he has shown himself to be a true man and - a:
consummate jurist.
With such candidates the Democratic pinky
cannot fail to win a glorioui triumph. They
will receive a heavier vote than has ever been
cast in this Commonwealth for any man of any
party for office.
The contest will be between the several coun
ties as to who shall give the largest majority
for our glorious nominees.
From the Selinsgrove Times
STATE TICKET.—We place to-day at our head
the State ticket nominated at Harrisburg by
the Democratic State Convention. No better
nomination could have bees made, nor could
any other have produced such harmony and
unanimity at this time. Woodward and Lowrie
are an embodiment of Law and Order that must
command the. espect of all law and order lov
ing men. The tremendous enthusiasm of the
convention that nominated tbem betokens their
certain elcetion. The people are dissatisfied
with the powers that be, and they are fearfully
and disgustingly tired of a reign of terror and
a rule of ruin. We oan assure the people, also,
that we enter the campaign with two candidates
whose moral characters are free from blemish,
and whose abilities are not only not doubted
but tested and well known.
CONFEDERATES IN PENNSYLVA.NIA
From the Richmond Enquirer, July 2
General Lee's army has
. occupied, without
resistance, the flourishing town of York, the
centre and capital of a great county which is
the garden of Pennsylvania, situated on the
railroad on which Baltimore depends for its
supplies, and within fifty miles of that city, al.
most due north, The intelligence of the capture
of Harrisburg is not confirmed, and was at least
premature.
The plans of Lee are still a secret to our
enemies, as well as to ourselves ; whether he
means to strike for Philadelphia, or for Balti
more, and in either case to cut of the railroad
communication of Washington with the North,
as he has already with the West ; whether hie
intention be to establish himself quietly in the
richest part of the Keystone State, and make
its fertile valleys support his army, until he
can force Hooker to a battle, perhaps in front
of the fortifications of Washington. All this
remains a matter of conjecture for the present.
One thing, however, is plain: General Lee's
movements are directed not to indiscriminate
plunder and devastation, but to the winning
of victory ; and victory will leave all Maryland
and the best part of Pennsylvania absolutely in
his power—to levy regular contributions upon
the country—to burn or to ransom the towns
and cities at his pleasure—to free Maryland
and Baltimore, and to strike a blow right at the
enemy's head in Washington.
It is true the enemy's country deserves no
consideration at our hands; to leave it all one
waste like the Stony Arabia weuld be *lily fit
ting retribution; but the natural desire to bring
home to the foe some portion of that desola
tion which he has visited upon us must, far the
present, give way to the necessities of strategy.
In the meantime our good Confederate boys
are living like the sons of kings. We wish
them a very good appetite, and only appre
hend that they will not wish to e0r.3.4 back to us.
at all. They will want to settle in that land
flowing with milk and honey, where our rose
colored notes will buy six times as much as
they will do at home, and where men use sugar
with their coffee, and coffee with their sugar.
The country people of Pennsylvania, it seems,
are tolerably indifferent to all this. They are
not rushing to arms as was expected ; but wait
for New York troops; and, indeed, seal not
too solicitous for the arrival of those saviors.
They want no more than good prices for their
produce, and are wisely content with Confede
rate money, which, indeed, is too good for
them, being quite good enough for much bet
ter men. This lavish expenditure of Southern
money in Pennsylvania also will have two
good effects. It will help to deplete our cur
rency within the limits of the -Certfadorne,Y7
and it will give to some of the Penoeylvanians
positive interest in sustaining Confederate cre
dit. They cannot do a better thing for their
own interest tlian to suffer our troops to oc
all their towns, as they have occupied York,.
