Looking beyond this, the war must at length

North, and dischargel from service, must, in
order to live, enter into competition with white
labor, and by cheapening its value, to a certain
extent, usurp its place ; or, failing in this,
commit depredations on sonitty, which will
arouse the natural antagonism of rage, and're

negro cannot live except in the coindition of
slavery, and if the relation of master and slave
is suddenly disturbed, it must result in hie ex

Gov Canlots Promise..
Governor Curtin has already practically
abandoned the duties of the Executive office,
and will devote all his time, from now until
the day of 0104 ton—time whieh belongs to the
Commonwealth and should be spent in the dis
charge of official dttties—in perambulating the
State and trying to persuade the people to re:.
sleet him. Of course the Governor will be
profuse in premises, and blow his own trumpet
with the blast of a Mentor. The time was when
the promises of a Governor of Pennsylvania
were fulfilled to the letter, and no stain of dis
honor milled the reputation of the Chief Mag
istrate of the Keystone State. Official pride,
if nothing more, was a guarantee of good faith.
But this was before Curtin became Governor.
Hi promises are as worthless as divans' oaths.
He eau give the most solemn assurances, and
then forfeit his word with a calm depravity that
argues exceedingly obtuse moral perceptions,
to put the very mildest face upon it,
That we are not speaking at random, we
quote the following passage from a special mes
sage sent by Governor Curtin to the last Legis
lature on the day of final adjournment
"To be called a freeman of Pennsylvania is,
henceforth, to have a title of honor wherever
loyalty, patriotism and the martial virtues are
cherished. his to be observed, moreover, that
the labors white I hive nem:leerily undergone
have already impaired my health. should
have serious cause to apprehend that a much
longer continuance of them might so break it.
down as to render me unable to fulfil the du
ties of my position.
silt io to be aided, that ae the approaching
season will, probably, be the most eventful pe
rind in the history of the country, I will be able
with snore effect to discharge my duties, if I avoid
being made Me centre of an came ingitical
"Under these circumstances, it. has pleased
the President of the United States to tender
me a high position at the expiration of my
pratfalt term of lane, and I hare not felt my
self at liberty to do otherwise than accept this
offer. As shall. for all these reasons, retire
from (Sim at the close of my present term, I have
thought this a not inappropriate mode of announ
elva, the fact." •
Such were the parting words of Gov. Curtin
to the Legislature of 1863. He took special
pains to impress the Legislature and the peo
ple with the conviction that he would not be a
candidate for re-election, and gave two reasons
for this conclusion—first, his failing health,
and second, that he had been tendered and ac
cepted a high position from the President.
This announcement was received with pleasure
by a majority of the Repuhlican members of
the Legislature,who dreaded the re-nomination
of Curtin as the prelude to certain defeat of
their party, and looked to the nomication of a
new man, whose record would not render him
so odious to the people as that. which Curtin
had contrived to make for himself.
The ink on the paper containing this with.
drawal was scarcely dry, however, before Gov.
Curtin commenced operating to secure his re
nomination—not openly. in the broad daylight,
but in the secret and hidden bye-ways of po
litioal chicanery. Having idnilfdateeed an
opiate to his rivals and put them comfortably
to sleep, he had the field to himself, and was
making hes Away while his enemies remained
in unconitiodo . klub:that.. They awoke to the
oonsesiouiness of how they had been duped
when it was too late. They were caught in
the net cunningly spread for them. They be-.
!Wed the words of Curtin and were deceived,
as every man deserves to be who relies up on
his promises. • • •
That. we do not judge Gov. Curtin more
harshly than the record warrants in pronoun.
(Oughts withdrawal an intention' eland premedi
tated piece of decer ion practiced upon the
people of Pennsylvania, as well as upon the
adverse leaders in his own •party, we point to
circumstances so strongly corroborative of this
view that they mu.tt be conclusive to every im
partial mind. In the first place, he never pub
licly announced that he had reconsidered his
withdrawal and was again a candidate, but
allowed the people to remain under the impres
sion produced by the special message that he
would not Wept of a lrenotoination. Had his
wtthdrawal been sincere at the time, and after
circumstances induced him to change his mind,
justice to himself and to the public woult
have impelled him to make the taut of his
being a candidate se public as his withdrawal.
No honorable into could have allowed himself
to remain in a false position before the public
for a single day ; hut Guy, Curtin permitted
the false impression to remain until he had ac
complished his purpose by securing his re
nomination. In the next place, Gov. Curtin's
moa t active Mantas aria she newspapers repro
heating his interests, knowing that he was a
candidate, remained obstinately and suspi
ciously silent. Even the Telegraph, edited by
an appointee of Gov. Curtin, eodetvored in
vain to extort from some of hie ootfidaute an
assurance that he was not a candidate, and in
sisted that he had sol mnly given his word
that he was sot, and ait.te bound in honor to
adhere to the promise contained in his special
message. If that message was not a trick, why
so much secrecy ? Why such quiet, under
handed work? Why did not Gov. Curtin say
that he was a candidate, or why did the lrico44
studiously refrain from annouocing his
candidsoy ? Let them explain this mystery if
they can, and show it to he consistent with
ordinary iptegrity and fair de Cling. No
straightforward man, no man of average hon
esty and honer, would allow his name to be
coupled with a transparent fraud, as Gott. Cur
tin has done.
With this damning record Staring him in the
face, how can Gov. Curtin present bimeelf
before the honb4t people or Penney and•
ask their suffrages ? How can he summon the
trizen assurantO to pot g people to coufide in
his promises, when the nos of his perfidy
.
is engraves. upon the public records. 11.,w
dare• he look nun full in the toe who know
that he promised them n to ben OtinctiCiate
when he was a candidate ? •
Union League secrete.
A correspondent of the New Hampshire
State Sentinel, woo sesames to have penetrated
the odious mysteries of the order, sends the
following as a portion of the instructions given
to the initiated:
When you first meet a member, present your
left hand and say :
'• Elow are you, Major? -
Answer—.' Conifers akly well."
Are you a member I our Union League ?"
Answer—" Prove me."
How shall I prove yon ? "
Answer—•' By positions."
Here comes in what might be called a com
mand, for the person asking the question above
set forth; says : +
Take positions and I'll call them." -
The person who ausWers the question then
raises his left hand perpendicularly over his
head, at which time yeu say. " Washington."
He then drops his arm to a horizontal position,
and you say, "Jefferson." He then drops his
left hand on the left thigh and you say, "Jack
son." He then raises his left hand to his
breast, and you say. "Union." He then joins
the thumb and third finger of his left hand;
at this time you mut.t also join the thumb and
third finger, as be does; then both of your
hands meet, and you put your thumb and third
finger inside his and you say, " League."— ,
All this is done in a shorter - time than I can
tell you.
Women it member is going into the lodge, the
password at the first door is "Eternal Vigi-
Japes ; " at the second door, " Is the Price of
Le berry." When a member enters the lodge,
he salutes the President by holding up his left
fore finger. When he leaves the lodge he holds
up his right band two fore fingers.
When a Union League man gets into a tight
at night. be Cries out, "Hi ! Hi! " If any of
the trotbers are around, and willing to assist
him, they cry out, "What, what."
It wool'. seem that the veritable old Know-
Nothing dodge of 1854 is already revived for
the coming campaign, with the addition, per
haps, that the new Know-Nothing order of
" Loyal Leaguers" are to be all armed with
Enfield rifle muskets. Thus the Sheds. will
strive to kill two birds with one stone—to per
petuate themselves in political power, where
they can continue to dip into the public depos
itory for greenbacks, and, at the same time,
"realize" on hundreds of thousands of Uncle
Sam's best arms. If anybody hears the excla
mation of "Hi ! Hi!• " on a dark night, he
may be sure there has been a meeting of the
"League," and that some cowardly Leaguer
has insulted a "Copperhead" and got hie head
punched for his impudence. In such a case
stand still and don't interfere, unless you hear
more than a dozen "What, what's," for a sin
gle Democrat "so strongly armed in honesty"
can whip at least . a
dozen of these evil-minded
midnight conspinttors.
Consistency
One of the most curious features of the pre
sent campaign is the desperate measures which
the friends of our provincial Governor resort
to, in their endeavor to secure votes for his re
election. They falsely accuse Judge Wood
ward of Nativeism,, and on that account coolly
ask eilizens of foreign birth to vote for An
drew G. Curtin, a leading member of the pros
cription order of linow•Nothings, a part.y•that
not only tried to disfranchise foreigners until
they had been in the country twenty-one years,
and deprive them through life from holding
any office of trust and profit under our govern
ment, but proscribed them on account of their
religion, and raise mobs to burn churches, de
stroy nunneries, and no doubt had they been
tv:ile to prolong and, strengthen their power
would have imprisoned or tortured every one
who differed with them in opitiiiiti Oil matters
of faith. Then they ask persons to vote
against Judge Woodward because, as they . say,
he attempted to disfranchise the soldier, when
in fact he confirmed their right to vote at their
respective places of residence, precisely as cid
zeos vote, and when a short time ago they ap
plauded this decision because it turned a De
mocrat out of office and gave them a Sheriffin
Pailadelphia. Then they ask men to vote for
Curtin, because he is loyal to Abraham Lincoln
and the Abolition fanatics, who, like the seces
sionists of the South, are trying to destroy the
Union, and vote against Justice, Woodward,
who is loyal to the Union, the Constitution,
and the laws, which form the government
founded by our fathers. They know: that Cur
tin hewn° real claims upon the suffrages of the
people, and therefore they raise false issues,
and andervaluitig the intelligence of the mat
-see. attempt to deceive them into his suPPert:
But th e people are 11,4 intelligent as they, and
in October next will show them that they are
not to be humbugged by any such flimsy pre
texts or transparent subte, fuges.

NEWS OF THE DAY.
BY TELEGRAPH.
CAPTURE OF A BLOCKADE RUNNER
WASHINGTON. August 81.—The Navy Depart
ment has rfceived information of the capture
of the brig Atlantic. by the 11 B. steamer
Princess Royal, off the Rio Grande, Mexico.
From the statement of Acting Master Chase,
lite in command of the gunboat Antonioa, it
appears tbat-tlie Atlantic bad , cotton on board;
direct from the Texas shore, and the Captain
of the brig told him he would swear to the fact,
and if a private interview could be granted, it
would be to the advantage of the United
States.
The Captain's singular proceeding was, he
says, in consequence of a misunderstanding
between him and :the parties-chartering the
vessel. He states that be was taken into Key
West• in this same Atlantic while bound for
Trzae, by a United &awe •ete'►m vessel •s a
prise, Wad lay there thirty-six days; but be
was "smart enough to - fool the authorietes,”
notwithatauding b 4 hod'ooatraband of war on
board.
He escaped from there and afterwards sued
the 'United States and obtained a judgment for
$10;000. He then went off and delivered his
cargo all right, being sent to Brownsville,
Texas, via Matamoras, Mexico. The Captain
of the vessel further said, "If yon don't look
oat I'll fool you again. I have been in such
Nubian a long time, having run the blookade
during the Russian. war, and if you are not
very sharp get to windward of you again."
Mr. }Taggart, of New York, now at Mats
moms, can testify that the brig Atlantic pur
chased her cotton at BrOwasville, Texas. The
Cayuga was in sight at, the time of her capture.
The Atlantic has been sent to New Orleans
for adjudication. She hails from Nassau. The
above facts are communicated by Commander
Woolsey, of the Princess Royal.
AFFAIRS IN ARKANSAS
ST. Louis, August 31.—The Republican pub
lishes a special dispatch from Memphis in re
gard to the State of affairs in Arkahhhs, which
says that then. Price, with a force of 25.000
rebels, was at Bayou Mare, a strong point on
White river, fourteen miles above Derrall's
Buff, where a battle was expected to be
fought.
Our forces are now at Dunwull's Bluff, fifty
four miles from Little Rock. This point will
probably be the base of supplies, as it can be
reached by way of White river at the lowest
stage of water.
Skirmishing was continually going on, but
our losses were slight.
The rehel force in Southern Texas is esti
mated at 18,000 Gen. Magruder had been re•
inforeed, the COrieGriptiOn having been carried
out to its fullest extent
The rebel gunboat Grand Dike, with 500
bales of cotton aboard, had been burned at
Shreveport.
FURTHER NAVAL CAPTURES.
WASHINGTON, August 31 r - A.ming Master
Smith, commanding the steamer Bermuda, c, m
municates the following captur , - s : On the 14th
instant, the Dritieh schooner Carmita, loaded
with 160 bales of cotton, and bound from Ye

had lost their reckoning.
Commander Smith, however, found the chro
nonoier worked up to the 15th inst._ and the
octant set at meridian on that day. She was
loaded with liquors, cigars, medicines, &c.,
and he felt justified in seizing her as a lawful
prize.

THE STEAMER RUTH
Wasnthoroft, August a 0 —The investigation
as to the' loss of the government funds by the
horning of the Ruth has thus far developed the
following facts.: Three million dollars in gov
ernment bills and postal currency, with a com
plete invoice, were sent to the sub-treasury at
St. Louis. Of this Mrjor Brinton, paytaster,
received in the 'original package $2,600,000,
and the original invoice. The money was
'placed on the cabin deck of the boat, &0., di
rectly over a large quantity of goal, pork,
rosin, &0., which was stored on the deck be
low. The guard never left the boxes, three
of the solders being burned to death. The
invoice was placed in 111.4j0r Brinton's private
gale, The fire lasted over six neura l and the
heat was intense. At the time the boat struck
the shore, a MAD and his son, living near the
spot, took a skiff and rowed around the boat
until morning, thinking something might drift
away from the wreck. They ovon went to the
wreck, where they could see the interior, and
represwnt it one mass of fire. Since then, the
wreck has been carefully watched, and divers
have been employed to examine the hold; no
iiquv.g4 elan as. round of the boxes or the money.
The cabin deck had fallen through, and the
money dropped in the red-hot mass of coals
helow. The debris of the fire at this point was
three feet deep. Search will now be made for
Major Brinton's sate, containing the invoices.
It is due to Major Brinton to say that the in
vestigation thus far removes the suspicion be
fore entertained, and the result of the inquiry
will undoubtedly be an honorable and free ex
oneration.
