WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUG. 26, DM.
JUDGE WOODWARD AND NATIVE
AMERICANISM.
When, in the State Convention which met at
Harrisburg last month, the nomination for
Governor of the Hon. G. W. Woodward was
made unanimous amid the most unmistakable
demonstrations of applause, the universal feel.
ing prevailed that a man had been chosen for
our standard-bearer whose personal character
and political reputation were beyond the pos
sibility of reproach. So general was the im
pression, not only did the Democratic press
throughout the State congratulate the Democ
racy upon the selection, but even the leading
Republican journals bore testimony to the
moral and intellectual fitness of our candidate.
But it has been reserved for papers of the
character of the Horiesdale Democrat to inau
gurate the work of defamation ; and we find the
key-note of what is probably to be the hue
and-cry of the opposition press, during the
campaign, in the last issue of our cotemporary.
Let/us give the charge there specified a brief
attention.
Judge Woodward is fifty-four years of age.
Since early manhood he has been more or less
prominently in public life, and at no time has
he hesitated to define unreservedly and dis
tinctly his political opinions; yet it appears
that our opponents, after undoubtedly giving
his record the most rigid examination, have
been obliged to grope Back into the past up
wards of a quarter of a century, in order to bring
to light the least public expresssion which they
could hope to use to his disadvantage.
This solitary sin is Native Americanism.
Ignoring for the present the fact that the
charge is made by a party in which proscrip
tion of foreigners has for years been a' cardinal
principle, let us content ourselves with an ex
amination of the record upon which the impu
tation is based.
It appears from the published proceedings,
that in the Reform Convention which assenibled
at Harrisburg in May, 1837, Mr. Woodward,
then a young man of twenty-eight, was a dele
gate from this Senatorial district. In the course
of the deliberations of that body, a resolution
• was introduced by Mr. Thomas and amended
by Mr. Konigmacher, both Whig members of
the Convention, asking " that a committee be
appointed to inquire into the_ expediency of so
amending the Constitution of Pennsylvania as
to prohibit. the future immigration into this
State of foreigners, free persons of color and
fugitive slaves from other States and territo
riea." This resolution,ooming as it did from the
Whig, and majority side of the house, Mr. Wood
ward, with a view, as he has himself subse
quently stated, to bring out the true character
of the measure, and at the same time to bring
that party to a vote on the real question of
their feeling toward foreigners, proposed an
amendment, which had the effect of inducing
the 'withdrawal of the original resolution. This
being done, he withdrew his amendment and
the matter was dropped. The remarks which
Mr. Woodward is reported to have made on the
occasion, in support of his amendment, were
not taken down by the regular secretaries of
the Convention, but by a stenographer, who
gave him no opportunity for their revision, and
incorporated them, garbled and perverted as
they undoubtedly are, into the " Debates"
without his knowledge or consent. His true
position on the subject in question may be
Much more reasonably inferred from his reply_
to Mr. Earl, on the 10th of the following Janu
ary, when he made use of these Words d , I
never did propose to exclude the foreigners
now in the country, from political privileges ;
nor those who should at any time hereafter
come tofthe country, * * * My
amendment was to a proposition made by the
gentleman from Chester, (Mr. Thomas,) sug
gesting an inquiry into the expediency of ex
cluding foreigners altogether from our soil, and
the amount of it was, to give the proposed in
quiry a different direction from that proposed
by the gentleman from Chester."
Let it be remembered that this explanation
was made within two months after the amend
ment was proposed, and to the very Convention
in which it was offered, and it will be seen to
what straits those demagogues are reduced,
who seek twenty-six years from this time to
make "political capital from such a narrow
foundation.
But the traducers of Judge Woodward,
whose memories cannot be expected to serve
them for ao long a period save for purposes
of detraction, have no excuse for preferring
their unjust charge against our candidate, even
if the explanation referred to escaped their no
ties. Upon more than one occasion since then
has his position with reference to our adopted
citizens been sufficiently well defined to remove
any doubt as to his principles which could
possibly exist. In 1845 he was promised the
vote of the Native American delegation of
Philadelphia to secure his election to the United
States Senate, in case he would pledge himself
to support the 21 years naturalization law. He
spurned the offer, and in consequence was de
feated by those very votes. Did this indicate
hostility to foreigners ? During the existence
of the Know Nothing party, Judge Woodward
was open and unmistakable in his denuncia
tions of its principles and designs. Was this
what should be expected from the "grand-fa
ther of Native Americanism r In numbers of
private letters and in all of his publio•action
and expression, he has repeatedly condemned
the proscriptive spirit of the opposition. Have
our naturalized citizens cause for offence in
this ? Nay, more. On the 6th Of September,
1851, Judge Woodward addressed a lengthy
and unequivocal letter to the editor of this
paper, in which he silenced effectually for the
time the imputations of Nativism which were
then attempted to be fastened upon Rim by
joutnaliets of a like character to those now en
gaged in the despicable work. From that com
munication we have only space to incorporate
into the present article a single extract, but it
will serve to give an idea of the animus of the
whole. He said :
"I am not going to profess any new born
zeal for foreigners, nor to flatter their passions
or prejudices. I am going to treat them as I
have always treated them—as American citi
zens, entitled to equal rights with myself, but
no more entitled to make war on me for senti
ments imputed to me by political opponents,
and on and according to which I have never
acted, than I have to make war on them. I
am no Native American, and I never was,
either in sentiment or action. I have no hos
tility to foreigners, and I never had. They
and I have always lived in peace. I have many
warm friends amongst them whom I value
above all price, and no intriguing politicians
or unscrupulous editors are to be permitted to
array us in hostile attitude." 1
Twelve years later we find this stale and oft
exploded subject once more agitated. Among
those, however, to whom the record of our can
didate is familiar, he needs no defense ; and
we trust that the MOM= ;we have given
will satisfy all who may have had their atten
tion called to the matter for the first time. Let

our Democratic friends see to it that the result

AN UGLY RECORD
THE ABOLITION CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE
OF THE SUPREME COURT IN FAVOR OF
NEGRO SUFFRAGE_
The Uniontown Genius of Liberty exposes the
course of Judge Agnew in the Reform Con
vention on the question of negro suffrage. It
should deprive him of the vote of every man
in the State who believes that our free white
ancestors framed our institutions for free white
men and their ilescendants forever. We quote
from the Genius:
"The Republicans have been as unfortunate
in the nomination of Judge Agnew as in that
of Gov. Curtin. He was a member of the Con
vention which framed the Constitution of 1838;
and his course in that body on the question of
negro suffrage was such as will not very
strongly recommend him to the favor of white
men. •
"It is known that under the Constitution of
1790 it was a mooted question whether colored
men were entitled to vote. In some parts of
the State they were allowed to exercise the
right, and in others it was denied. them. In
the Convention of 1838, called to amend the
Constitution, it was proposed to put this ques
tion at rest by confining the elective franchise
to white men only. With this view Mr. Mar
tin, of Philadelphia, on the 2.3 d of June, 1837,
offered the following proviso to the 3d article :
" Provided, also, That the rights of an elector
shall in no case extend to others than free white
male citizens_"
" On this proviso the- yeas and nays were
called, and Judge Agnew voted against it, and
Judge Woodward, the present Democratic can
didate for Governor, who was'also a member
of the Convention, voted for it. The proviso
was lost.—(Debates, vol. 8, page 91.)
" On the 17th of January,
.1838, Mr. Martin
renewed his effort, by moving to insert the
word 'white' among the qualifications for
voters. Upon this motion a long and able de
bate entited, Judge Woodward taking an active
and leading part in favor of the motion and
against negro suffrage. On the 20th January
a vote was taken on the motion, by yeas and
nays, and the word 'white' was inserted in the
third article of the Constitution, Judge Agnew
voting against it and Judge Woodward for it.
—(Debates, vol 10, page 106.)
"To that motion thus carried against the
opposition of Judge Agnew, we owe the fact
that negroes are not to-day voter, in Pennsyl
vania,
" An attempt was subsequ.ently made to con
tinue the right of suffrage to those negroes
who had before exercised it ; and for this
Judge Agnew voted, on the principle that 'half
a loaf is better than no bread.' Judge Wood
ward voted against it.
" This is the man for whom white men are
asked to vote: Had he succeeded in making
negro voters, his chances of election would now
be pretty fair ; but as white men are, through
the efforts of men like Judge Woodward, alone
invested with the invaluable right of suffrage,
it is not likely that Judge Agnew will ever
reach the Supreme Bench.
" We cannot . refrain from giving the con
cluding paragraph of a powerful speech made
in the Convention by Judge Woodward on this
question of negro suffrage:
I am sure the sober sense of our citizens
would be outraged by a decision that negroes
are to vote, and this will be decided if you re
ject the amendment. At no stage of our his
tory have our people been willing to give them
this right, and now let us not offend against
nature, and do violence to the general feeling,
by saying that in all time to come they shall
possess it. Let us not reduce the inestimable
right of suffrage to this degradation, lest the
people spUrn it from them, as unworthy any
longer of their affections, but let us preserve
and bequeath it as we have inherited it, and
then postelity will have no reproaches for our
memories.' "
CORRESPONDENCE.

FOR SALE OR LET.—I wish to sell my inte

Gentlemen see in the Clarion Banner an

one of the name of ,Healy was in said regi

this false representation of my estimate of the
PATRIOT AND UNION. I take this paper and
read it, and consider it one of the best papers
printed in the State, and any man that cannot
subscribe to its principles and doctrine, from
first to last, is not a good Union man, and
should be sent either beyond our lines into
rebeldom or into Massachusetts amongst the
Abolitionists, which I would consider a much
greater punishment. How such a thing ever
found its way into the Clarion Banner is a
mystery to me, but I presume it is the dream
of some government sub-contractor. I consi
der myself a sound Democrat, and do not wish
my name to appear in the Clarion Banner, nor

be kind enough to insert this in order to disa

A HINT FOR MR. LINCOLN.—"Mrs. Lincoln
and her son Robert are at the White Moun
tains. A Maine paper suggests that when Mr.
Lincoln joins them he Will leave his redline at
Washington, and have only Mrs. Lincoln as a
body guard."
We trust that Mr. Lincoln will join Mrs.
Lincoln either with or without his body guard.
We desire that Robert sh - ottld be relieved from
the duty of playing gallant for his mother.
We should think that hie cheeks would tingle
for shame whenever he met a wounded soldier
or the mother of a dead hero. Why is not this
young man in the army ? lie ought to have
been there two years ago, instead of sporting
away hie college vacations at Long Branch and
the White Mountains. Thousands of sons
have gone and died. What better is he than
thobe of others for whom Mr. Lincoln has
made such lend oalls, and whom he threatens
to force into the service? It is hard to resist
the conclusion that either the President is a
very great hypocrite, and does not believe the

THE PRESIDENT A SPIRIT-RAPPER.
A very remarkable pamphlet has jest been
issued by Mr. M. Doolady, of this city, e.atitled.
"Interior Causes of the War ; The leaden De
monized, and the President a Spirit-Rapper."
The author, "a citizen of Ohio," clahns to have
been a spiritualist for years, and to be perfectly
familiar with all their doctrines, ideas and
principles. He says their creed is that all
things are intrinsically equal and susceptible of
continued and endless development, until they
reach the standard of Deity ! The smallest
grain of sand only needs development to give it
Deifle. power. Hence, the most unlikely nig
ger has only to be "developed" in order to in
fuse in him the germ of Deity. It is the old
Pantheistic philosophy of the ancient heathen,
that God is nature and nature God—that men
are tadpoles in a progressive stage of develop
ment, and that all things being equal, of course
all men are equal. This is Abolitionism with a
vengeance. It elevates Cuffee, perhaps, to the
front seat, lind gives rise to the doubt we see
occasionally expressed in the Abolition papers,
whether the negro may not, after all, be the
superior of the white man ! In fact, who knows
but he may be further. "developed" than we,
and black, after all, the superior, as well as
the only truly "loyal" color ?
At all events, in this spiritualistic philosophy
of equality between graias of sand and grains
of sense, we are told that Mr. Lincoln, Mr.
Chase, Senator Wade and J. R. Giddings, are
certainly believers. Mr. Wade's wife. is one
of the best mediums in the State of Ohio, while
Chase has, for years, been known as a 09litiniter
of the rapping. Robert Dale Owen is a noted
spiritualist, and is constantly around Mr. Lin
coln, and so is Andrew Jackson Davis, "the
Poughkeepsie seer," and humbug in general.—
Mr. Lincoln, this work also states, has been in
the habit of eOueUlting the spirits,,
one of Judge
Edmonds' daughters, of this city, being the me
dium. Such rumors has/ long been in circula
tion, but they have never before acquired so
authentic a form. A celebrated "trance lectu
rer," oar author states, has received a respon
sible office near the person of Mr. Lincoln, and,
like the Witch of Endor, who served the He
brew ring, is always ready to bring forth
"the spirits from the vasty deep." The theory
of the writer of this curious pamphlet is, that
the spirits are demons, and that the President
and all his advisers are under demonise influ
ences. We are fully prepared to believe the
latter. That the influences that govern this
administration spring from the bottomless pit,
there can be no reasonable doubt, Without,
therefore, giving any opinion as to our author's
theory, we are fully prepared to accept his con-.
elusions. Hie view's upon the equality and dif
ference of the races are clear and distinct, and
his opposition to the war end all its belongings,
are at once eminently correct and proper.
But is it not most disgraceful and humiliating
that the American people should have a Presi
dent who decides the policy of his administra
tion by raps" on a (able, or by the incoherent
jargon of some flighty female, who, in a fit of
hysterics, imagines she is conversing with
spirits ? Heir many poor fellows have been
"rapped" into the jaws of death by some crazy
medium I That "wonderful table" in the White
House might tell a tale which would make the
country fairly startle with amazement. The
writer of this pamphlet says :—"Mr. Lincoln's
faith, not his learning, has made him mad ;
and so deep is that madness, that, could the
facts which have influenced his policy be ascer
tained, he could, we have not a doubt, be proved
a madman on a fair trial under lunacy." We
confess that in contemplating some of the acts
of this man Lincoln, we have been compelled
to exclaim, "he must be mad." But it is, for
tunately, that evaders of madness wide* is AO
companied with method. It is not the crazy
movement which mark dementation, bat rather,
as our author suggests, the inspiration of a de
moniac agency, whose impulse is no lees intel
ligent than its purposes are' diabOlieal. It is
the genius of Satan, when, addressing hie fol
lowers, he told them,
"Better reign in hell than serve in heaven:"
Americans are indeed reduced to ignominy
and disgrace when their President has turned
"spirit-rapper," and when "trance lecturers,"
and "mediums" and seers;" and "table-tip
pers," and "toe-crackers" decide the fate of a
people whose blood has already crimsoned hun
dreds of battle-fields, and who are again called
upon to yield up more victims to a lunacy
whose maw is as insatiable as death, and whose
cruelty is more terrible than the crashing
wheels of the Juggernaut.—N. Y. Caucasian.
THERE is a sentence in Jeff. Paidfr list pro
clamation which indiecteg not only that he is
desirous of peace, but that he must have re
cently made some overtures to the Washington ,
authorities which were rejected, It is as fol
lows
"Conscious of their inability to prevail by
legitimare warfare, not daring to make peace
lest they should be hurled from their seats of power,
the men who now rule in Washington refuse
even to confer on the subject of putting an end
to outrages which disgrace our age, or listen
to a suggestion for conducting the war accord
ing to the usages of civilization.:'
When the secret history of this war shall
have been written, we have no doubt but that
it will be found that the Federal administration
had in its power several times since the com
mencement of the war to end it, and at the
same time restore the Union "as it was." But
it was a question between reunion and the
preservation of the Republican party, and the
administration chose the latter. In the above
Davis no doubt refers to Stephens' mission,
which undoubtedly had other objects in view
than a mere understanding touching the dis
position of prisoners. That was the excuse,
but the Igoe Ikeeident of the Confederacy
would not have been sent to Washington on
any such errand. We believe that Stephens
brought with him a proposition for peace and
reunion, of which the Federal administration
was aware, and to which Davis refers in hie
late proclamation.
CURIOUS DISCOVERY OF A MISSING WILL.—The
Hartford (Ct.) Courant says:—George Martin.
son, a gentleman well advanced in ram, and
well known in this city, died seme eight or
nine months ago, leaving a handsome property.
His heirs were his widow and two or three
children. There was also an adopted daughter.
Careful search was made, but no will could
be discovered, so the estate went into probate.
The six months allowed were just expiring,
and neat day the property was to he divided
among the heirs. The Press says that day'the
widow noticed an old pair of pantaloons of her
husband's hanging in the cellar-way, and gave
t h em t o a i Irishwoman at work for her, saying
she could wash them up, and may be they'd be
good for something. As she took them to the
washtub she felt a paper in one of the pockets.
It was the missing will. Among the be
quests it gave the how tw4 lot, worth $6 , 000,
