Judge Woodward.
" DETRACTION LOVES A fiRENING NABS."
The Telegraph and Forney's Press open their
batteries of slander and vituperation upon
Judge Woodward with as mush bitterness and
malignity as though the result of the election
depended upon the amount of venom that could
be heaped upon him. The fact is, that the
character of the man is so high and pare, so
far above all taint or reproach, that the shoddy
candidate they have pitted against him is so
immeasurably belittled in the comparisThn that
his partisans feel that Woodward's election by
an overwhelming majority is a foregone con
clusion. tinder these circumstance!, with sure
defeat staring them in the face they strive to
gratify their feeling of hate and envy, by lying
and detraction. If he had at any time during
his long and useful life committed any offence
for which they could hold hint responsible a
"fellow feeling" would doubtless induce them
to treat him more friendly, but his exalted
eminence to which they aspire in vain, only
serves to Whet their appetites for calumny.
The charge of .tatirism, so often refuted in
the past, has been re-vamped and is now
pressed upon the people with the boldest effron
tery. • They forget that ours is a reading peo
ple, and that the refutation of this slander so
clearly made out in the Judicial campaign of
1852, will be remembered by almost every voter
in the State. They will remember, too, that
in 1845, when he was defeated for United
states Senator, that heoould have been elec
ted had he not deliberately, and in strong terms
repudiated all Affinity with, or sympathy for
the principles and objects of the Nativist mem
bers of the Legislature.
This of itself is a conclusive answer to the
charge of Native American proclivities.
Another silly charge is, that Judge Wood
ward has disfranchised the soldier. They must
think very poorly of Vie intelligence of our
brave citizen soldiers, if they hope to induce
them to believe so transparent a falsehood.—
The Constitution clearly prohibits the soldier
from voting anywhere, except at the place of
his residence at the time he entered the army,
and when a case was brought before him, all
Judge Woodward could do was to perform his
sworn duty by declaring the law. He had no
control over the question whatever, it was fixed
by tbo constitution.
The decision in itiestion resulted in throw
ing out of office a Democratic sheriff of Phil
adelpia and putting a Republican in his place.
of course these corruptionists cannot complain
of thin result, but what particularly annoys
them is, that a Democratic judge should no
hare heen•inflaenced by his surroundings, but
truthfully declared. the law, though it operated
against the party to . wbio he belonged. They
knew-that their own party leaders never rose
so high, they feel that their own 'integrity
would have given way under- similar circum
stances, and they cannot forgive Judge Wood
wart for eher l iu g , bi ag ef go far , above them.

The Government.
So much deception has of late been prac
ticed, so many false isstes raised by the party
in power, to cover up their repeated violations
of law, as to beget a confusion of ideas as to
what powers may be properly exercised by our
rulers. The present dominant 'polititial party
have persistently attempted to, confOund the
government with the administration, and to
inculcate the pernicious doctrine of unques
tionemission to the will of power. If the
people exercise the right of censorship over
the acts of their rulers, which is really the
only means of preserving their liberties, they
are said to oppose the government, and are
stigmatised as traitors. It may therefore. be
well for us to go back to fundamental princi
ples, in order to divest ourselves of the sophis
tries with which demagogues and fanatics have
enerounded the subject, and inquire where the
power otgovernment resides, and how it may
be legitimately exercised.
A few men in society are violently at war
with the rights of others, and a larger class,
when under occasional excitement of passion
or interest, are tempted to infringe upon the
rights of mankind ; therefore there is a clear
moral necessity for the exercise of some re
straining power. Almost all civilized men are
capable of appreciating the rules of right, and
when free from excitement are competent to
decide upon rules and regulations for the gov
ernment of men in the social state. The en
actment and execution of these rules consti
tute the functions of civil government. Where
then does this power primarily reside ? It
evidently pertains to those persons who are
interested in its exercise, whose rights are the
objects of its protection, and who possess the
requisite moral endowment and intelligence to
ordain and execute the law .of right, or, in
other words, the quaiifi,cd diked. Our National
and State Constitutions uniformly declare that
the people are the source of all political power.
To them, in their collective or corporate ca
pacity, pertains the office of government, and
the direct and immediate exercise of its moral
force. It is both their right and duty to dis
charge this high moral function in their pri
mary assemblies wherever it is practicable;
and - when they seem to relinquish the power
of governing, by delegating to State officers
the exercise of public functions, they do not
renounce their sovereignty but are still mas
ters of the State ; retiring f i'm the direct and
immediate control of its affairs from motives
of convenience only.
Wherever the people retain the power of
government for their immediate exercise, there
is no necessity for a written Constitution, but
this is only practicable in small communities.
When eattent4ed territory and large population,
prevents the assembling of the people,.they
delegate to their representatives (inch of the
powers of government as they cannot COtiVO
niently discharge in person. They appoint
agents like other principals—and prtidence
dictates that they should be rendered as secure
as possible from the malconduct of their sub
ordinates. Hence there at once arises the ne
cessity for a written Constitution. The power
of government, which is inherent in the peo-
pie, is now to be imparted to their agents; and
because the people ought to retain whatever
power they can directly exercise, and ought in
no instance to substitute an agent where they
can act themselves; and because they ought,
in every case, to have a prescribed mode for
the appoiftment of their agents which is not
susceptible of doubt or denial; and because
the tenure of office, and the responsibility of
its incumbents, ought to be regulated by a fun
damental law; and because the functions of
government are diverse in their character and
ought to be diatribUted among different offi.-
cent, such as Executive, Legislative and Judi
cial, to the end "that the government may be
one of laws and not of men ;" and because, for
the safety of the people and the security of
rights,, the powers delegated to representatives
ought to be limited and defined, so that the
agent inay.kuow his office and the principal be
secure from his misdeeds ; and because history
has shown that men in office grow fond of
power and frequently abuse it; and because
the legislative power, when committed to dele
gates, ought not to be omnipotent, but limited
and defined by such provisions and exceptions
coneervative of rights and liberty as WiSelmen
know to, be salutary restraints upon legisla
tive power ; therefore it isindispeesibly neces
sary that the people should delegate the pow-,
ens of government by a written Constitution.
This, then, is the office of a written Consti
tution—to delegate to the various public func
tionaries such of the powers of government as
the people do not intend to exercise themselves
—to classify those powers according to their
nature, and to commit them to separate agents
—to provide for the choice of these agents ty
,the people—to ascertain, limit and define the
extent of the authority thus delegatedu--and to
secure to the peOple their sovereignty over all
things not expressty committed to the care of
their representatives..
These are the principles upon which our
government was founded by our fathers, and
upon which it has been carried on under Dem
ocratic rule, up to the advent of the present
administration. The result has been- the ag
gregation of wealth and prosperity and power
to a degree unexampled in the history of the
world, and we appeal to the good sense of the
entire people, if it is not fAly and madness to
lay the axe at the root of a tree that has pro
duced such glorious fruit? And yet such is
the openly avowed purpose of the praseat. ad
ministration. They have everywhere derided
the limitations of the Constitution; they have
arrogated to themselves regal power and di
vested States and individuals of their clearly
reserved rights; they have declared that "the
Constitution as it is" shall nevermore be the
governing law of the nation; they bete de
cided upon keeping, up a large standing army,
and while retaining the form of the Union, in
vest the government with Monarchical powers.
This is the issue now plainly before us—this
is the question, fellow citizens, which you will
have to decide by your ballots at thucoming
elections. Will you retain your God-given
rights, and the heritage of- freedom received
from your fathers; or will you yield them ail
up,-and• supinely accept the chains that are
being riveted upon you by despotio , hands ?

The Draft.
For months the public mind has been exer
cised with reference to the draft. A something
so foreign to the spirit of our institutions, and
so entirely congenial to, and consistent with,
the spirit of despotic.goveriatnents, might well
challenge the serious and awe-struck attention
of a free people. It is doubtful whether the
archives of even Austria can produce a pro
gramme so sweeping as that which grows out
pf the late conscription act. The lavt itself is
odious, but the constructions placed upon its
various provisions by a brutal War Department
are so arbitrary, and in many instances so
flagrantly unjust, that we have almost ceased
to look to the Constitution or the law, or else-.
where than to the imperial discretion of that
disgrace to humanity, Edwin M. Stanton. We
are of those that consider a conscription law
as in the very teeth of both .the letter and the
spirit of the Constitution_ Judge Gaston, of
North Carolina, a great statesman and patriot
and one of the greatest of all the judicial mag
nates that ever adorned the American Bench,
said, in a speech delivered in the United States
House of Representatives in 1814, "What! are
the freemen of this country to be drafted from
the ranks of the militia, and forced as , military
machines to wage a war of conquest. I have
been accustomed to consider the little share
which I have in the Constitution of the United
States as my most valuable possession, but I
do solemnly declare, that if such doctrine be
engrafted into this Constitution, Lregard it se
without value, and care not for its preserva
tion." .Such was the language of one of the
trusted oracles of the past, and such, to-day,
would be the language of the great founder of
Democratic faith—its "Hercules of strength
and Nestor of wisdom"—the immortal Jeffer•
son. But we would be false to the history and
teachings of Democracy if we taught other
than obedience to law. Whatever legislative
outrages were perpetrated by the late Con
gress, that must be considered and obeyed as
law which has not , been pronounced otherwise
by the tribunals created by the Constitution
itself. But for God's sake, let not .our burdens
be increased by unwarranted and arbitrary
constructions of a law severe enough in itself
without engrafting upon it features foreign to
the intention of even such a Congress as boasts
each a monster as Stevens for its leader. Nte
trust that measures will be speedily taken to
test the constitutionality of this act—this rob
ber of our firesides—in our Commonwealth ;
so that its victims may at least have the con
solation of knowing that however distasteful
their soldier mission, it is imposed by a con
stitutional law. True, our modern Abraham
"cannot consent to lose the time" which may
be consumed In obtaining such decider., and is
rather disposed to adopt the model course of
Davis, who, as he says, "is driving every able
bodied man into the ranks, very much as a
butcher drives bullocks into a slaughter pen."
It will be remarked that. whatever the Confed
erates have done is the history of this war
that might be considered unworthy of a civil
ized humanity, is copied by our most royal mac
tern, and made the excuse for perpetrating
even greater wrongs and outrages. But let us
have the question tested; it is the right of the
people, despite the wish or time of Mr. Lin
coln, for now, as in the past, our motto is,
Fist justilia, mutat ctelum,"

RENEWAL OP THE DE:HAND 'ROE AN EQUITABLE
OONSORIPTIoN.
ALBANY, August 8:—To the President of the
United States :—I received your communica
tion of the 7th instant this' day. While I
recognize the concession you make, regret
your refusal to comply with my request to
have the draft in this State suspended until it
can be asctertained if enrollments are made
in accordance with the law of Congress, or
with the principles cf justice. I know that
our army ?cede recruits ; and for this and
other reasons I regret a decision which stands
in the way of a prompt and cheerful movement
to fill up the thinned ranks of our regiments.
New York has never paused in its efforts to
send volunteers to the assistance of our gallant
soldiers in the field. It has not only met every
call heretofore made, while every other Antal•
tic, and the New England States, except Rhode
Island, were delinquent, but it continued Jibe.
ral bounties to volunteers when all efforts
were suspended in many other quarters.—
Active exertions are now made to organize the
new and fill up the old regiments. These exer
tions would be more successful if the draft
were suspended, and much better men than
reluctant conscripts would join our armies.
On the 7th instant I advised you by letter
that I would furnish the strongest proof of the
injustice, if not fraud, in the enrollment in
certain districts. I now send you a full report
made to me by Judge Advocate Waterbury. I
am confident, when you have read it, that you
will agree with me that the honor of the nation
and of your administration demands that the
abuses it mints out would be COrreoted and
punished.
You say that we are contending with an
enemy who, as you understand, "drives every
able-bodied man he nun reach into the ranks,
very much as a butcher drives bullocks into a
slaughter pen." You will agree with me, , that
even this, if impartially done to all classes, is
more tolerable than say OCheme which shall
fraudulently force a portion of the community
into military service by a dishonest perversion
of the law.
Yon will see by the report of Mr. Waterbury
that there is no , theory which can explain or
justify the enrollment in this State. I wish to
call your attention , to the tables on pages 5,
6, 7 and 8, which show that in nine congres
sional districts, in Manhattan, Long and Staten
Islands, the number of conscripts called for is
thirty-three thousand seven hundred and
twenty nine, while in nineteen other districts
the number of conscripts called for is only
thirty-nine thousand six hundred and twenty
six. This draft is to be made from the first
class, those between the ages of twenty and
thirty. five. It appears by the census of 1860
that, in the first dine Congressional districts there
were 164,797 males between twenty and thirty
five; they are called upon for 33,729 conscripts.
In the other nineteen districts, with a population of
males between twenty and thirty-five of 270,786,
only 89,626 are demanded. Again, to show the
partisan character of the enrollment, you will
find on the twenty-first page of the military
report that in the first nine congressional dis
tricts the total vote of 1860 was 151,243 ; the
number of conscripts now demanded is 33,729.
In the nineteen other districts the total vote is 457,-
257 ; vet these districts are called upon to furnish
only 39,620 drafted men. Each of the nine dis
tricts gave majorities in favor of one political
party, and each of the nineteen districts gave
majorities in favor of the other party.
You cannot and will not fail to right these
grass wrongs. Yours truly,
RORATIO SEYMOUR.
ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
WASHINGTON August 9.—A refugee who ar
rived here to day from Richmond says that
there are bia4 few &Luna 'hero.
ago three brigades were sent to Char-es.oll.
Lee has not been reinforced to any considera
ble degree from Richmond. The strength of
D. H. Hill's division is less than 5,000. Great
suffering prevails in Richmond among the
poorer classes, in consequenCO of the Scsreity
and high prices of provisions.
Advices from the Army of the Potomac to
night state that everything is quiet, and will
probably remain so for a mouth or six weeks to
come, unless the rebels attack us. Lee's whole
army is now on the south bank of the Rapidan
strongly entrenched. Trains are running over

AN ORDER AGAINST GUERRILLAS.
WASHINGTON, August. 10: The following
proclamation has been issued by General
Meade.:
HEATIQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.—
,TVLY 80.—The numerous depredations com-
Mitted by aitizener, or rebel 'Boicriere in 'dieguise,
harbored and concealed by citizens along the
Oringe and Alexandria railroad, and within
our lines, call for prompt •and . exemplary pun
ishment. Under the instructions of the gov
ernment, therefore, every Citizen against whom .
there is sufficient evidence of his having en=
gagedin these practices, will' be arrested and
confined for punishment, or put beyond the
lines: The people within ten Miles of the rail
road are notified that they will be held respon
sible, in their persons and their property, for
any injury done to the road, trains, depots, or
stations, by Citizens, guerillns, or persons in
'disguise_; and, in case- of such injury, they
will be impressed as laborers, to repair all
damages. If these measures should not stop
such depredations, it will become the unpleas
ant duty of the undersigned in the execution
of his instructions, to direct that the inhabi
tants of the district of country along the rail
road be put across the lines, and their property
taken for government use. •
GEORGE. G. MEADE,
Major General Commanding.
The depredations having been continued, a
number of citizens suspected, or known to be
complicated in these transactions, have been
promptly arrested.
