DEMOCRATIC STATE NOMINATIONS , 11.04: GOVERNOR., HON. GNO. W. WOODWARD, ON MI:LIDILPHLt, FOR-JUDGR OF TER SUPREME COURT, WALT , EIL H. LOWRIE, Of ALLIONINT COUNTY. THE UNION "These States are glorious in their individuality, bat their collective glories are in the Union. By all means, at all hazards, are they to be main tained in their integrity and th; full measure of their constitutional rights=for only so is the Union to be preserved—only so is it worth preserving. It is the perfection of the prismatic colors, which Mauled, produce the ray of light. It is the com pleteness of these assembled sovereignties, lacking nothing which they have not lent for a great pur pose, that makes the Union precious. This word Union is a word of gracious omen_ It implies confidence and a f fection—mutual support and pro tection against external dangers. It is the chosen expression of the strongest passion of young hearts. It is the charmed circle within which the family dwells. It is man helping his fellow!man in this rugged world. It is States, perfect in themselves, confederated for mutual advantage.. It is the peo ple of States, separated by lines, and interests, and institutions, and usages, and laws, all forming one glorious nation—all moving onward to the same sublime destiny, and all instinct with a common life. Our fathers pledged their lives, their for tune', and their sacred honors, to form this Union —let ours be pledged to maintain it."—tiro. W. WOODWARD, July 4, 1851. THE SOLDIERS' RIGHT TO VOTE. Men a soldier returns to his election district, he resumes all the civil rights of citizenship, and his residence being unimpaired by his temporary absence, he has a right to vote on election day, but under the Constitution, to which his fealty is due, he can acquire no right to vote elsewhere, except by a change of residence from one district to another. * * * The learned judge deprecates a con struction that shall DISFRANCHISE our volunteer soldiers. It strikes us that this is an inaccurate use of language. The Constitution would disfranchise no qualified voter. But, to secure purity of elec tion, it would have its voters in the place where they are best known on election day. If a voter volun tarily stays at home, orgoes on a jounwy, or jots the army-of his country, can it be said the Consti tution- has disfranchised him 2 Pour of the judges of this court, living in other parts of this State, find themselves, on the day of every Presidential election, in the city of Pittsburg, where their official duties take them and where they are not permitted to vote. Have MR; a right to charge the Consti tution with disfranchising them P Such is our case and such is the case of the volunteers in the army. The right of suffrage is carefully preserved for both 44n. and us, to be enjoyed when we return to the places which the Constitution has appointed for its exercise.—Gso. W. WOODWARD. •u An hese eleekit this - great, nimble bird out o' tide wee egg He could vile She very Sounders out o' The irith, 2l -11T. Ochiltree. When ht'Clellan took leave of the Army of the potomac at Harrison's Landing, one of the Abolition journals in New York pronounced the affecting incidents of his farewell, en elaborate, spectacular pageant gotten up with duchregard to stage effect—the enthusiasm of the ireops a mockery, the honest sorrow and the orbs that went up in memory of hard itteght fields for his return, the jeering, noisy efferveseence of. holiday hypocrisy. Others ten quite a different tale—partakers in his well earned' fame,. who shared the nottoW of his lase, and tell us that to-day the memory of the patient commander of the great army still en dures irk their hearts of oak. Even the malig nity of the Abolition press failed to find in all that transpired there, in the conduct of the great man the; were impotent to destroy, aught but became the chieftain of so great an army_ It is said fears were felt among those who sat in council in the Star Chamber at Washington, that the love the army bore M'Clellan might be turned against his enemies_ The sense of the familiar panic which pale]. their cheeks after the battle of 801 l Run returned, the ter ror, as when the news of Pope's defeat was heard, agitated for a moment the cowardly conspirators, who but a month before had sought his succor, who alone, out of the abun dance of that army's devotion to him, could nerve. its arms to victory again, and re-illume the pride of victory in its heart. It is said swami, Halleck, and the Cabinet feared en outbreak in the army. Thus the "holiday vageant" was going on, while much uneasi ness prevailed in administrative circles at the Capital. But there was little occasion for it. True to his, instinct, not a word escaped the injured general to stir the angry passions of his men—no exhibit was made to show who caused the defe its they suffered—not a mur mur against the injustice done him—nothing bbt manly cheer and honorable regret The oligarchy was safe in its seats ; and so the first historic figure of the age faded for a time from the scene of action. . The mails on. Monday night brought us the description of another spectacle, and the came journal which, Menge file, sneered at M.'ael lan's farewell' to his army, enlarges upon its mimic glories and gives it the benefit of a full report. A coterie of patriotic gentlemen visit t h e army to be present at tbe ceremony of sword presentation to its third commander since W-Clellan's time. The accounts which reach us have made much of what we had learned to look upon ab a Tory ordinary affair, having no State significance nor splendor of attraction. A favorite corps of our State troops had thought fit to present their General with a token of their attachment. -Nothing more natural or appropriate. But the event, which front time to time we bad seen an imoneed in prospect in the papers, had a curi ous attraction fir the patiniotio gentlemen who vent down from Washington to witness it, and the Governor of Pennsylvania, who is a oon stoat attendant upon Ma ceremagies, Pat in an appearance too. The fete wirevery way worthy of .1* Aistingiehlhed proem:ice. -.- . Akar7'µ, lands and 4tretireeni, 'arches arid triWgphsl•; legends decorated the • precincts around the . commanding General's quarters. One brave General made a neat little speech in handing over the weapon ( ' to the other. In the course of it he took occasion to allude pertinently to the presence of the Governor, and somewhat gratuitously referred to the soldier vote in the State election. Then the recipient went through the motions. He met the allusions of hie brother-in-arms to the Governor with very cor dial ;and unmistakable terms. Then the Gov ernor himself spoke a piece. Then John W. Forney. Then came a little banquet whereat John Covode and Morton M'Michael, of high contracting memory, indulged, it may be sup posed, the genial vagaries of Abolitionism at large. So the sword was probably in due time forgotten, and its testimony of simple soldierly admiration to the General in command from his men, was Oonseorated to a special benefit given with the aforesaid effective adjuncts, to an aspirant to office. The report at the con clusion from which we quote, notes the fact that when it was all over, some of the soldiers fell to and devoured what was left, and est the crumbs and drank the wine left standing in the glasses. It was a pleasant gathering of patriotic men. Forney was there to say a good 'Word for the soldier—Forney, whose apostacy is the finest type of disinterested patriotism. M'Michael was there, whose sympathy for the soldier and the cause of the Republic is so appropriately nurtured in the aliment he finds in odd jobs from the War Office. John Covode was there, and gave to the tenor of the day's proceedings the light and pleasing sanction of his counte nance. Last, but not least, among loyal men assembled, sat at meat, the " Soldiers' Friend." Fancy Forney !erring over his glass at Covode, and Covode complacently appreciative at -For ney, and the " Soldiers' Erind," the cynosure of all. Gen. Meade did the honors, who now commands the Army of the Potomac. Gen. Meade bespoke, too, the soldiers vote for the Soldiers' Friend at the coming' election. How natural such sympathy ! He testified to the zeal of the " Soldiers* Friend" in their behalf. flow faithful his facts ! How ardent he proved the devotion of Governor Curtin to their inter ests ! They had a pleasant time of it among them over the testimonial which the soldiers had bought for their commander ; and when it was over some of the soldiers eat the fragments which were left, and drank the wine out of the unfinished glasses ! M'Clellan went away silently—silent under the abuse of those who sent his army shorn of half its strength to the bloody battle-fields of the Peninsula. His farewell was called a spectacle, the devotion of his men, sealed by the blood of many martyrs, to the faithless machinations of their enemies and his, a mock ery and a sham. But the grand banquet at Gen. Meade's headquarters was a plenteous out pouring of pure patriotiem,and Gov. Cur tin is by the same token an ardent patriot and the Soldiers' Friend ! It was such men and such friends to the soldier that dishonored M'Clellan, brought defeat and disgrace upon our arms all the way up the Peninsula, fighting against the superior numbers. It is such men, and such friends of the soldier who will seize upon such an occasion as the foregoing to pam per a lust for power and sacrifice the incidents of so touching a memorial of soldierly feeling to make political capital fora selfish demagogue and tools and dupes of the brave men whom, while he professes to befriend, he would use to elevate himself to the Chair of the Executive of the State whose interests he has abused, whose fair fame he has dishonored ! Gov. Curtin Sick and Well. When Gov. Curtin succeeded in outwitting the rivals in his own putt' by rtublioly an nouncing that he would not be a candidate for re-eleotion, although he was all the while per fecting his schemes to secure the nomination of the Pittsburg 'Convention, he doubtless im agined that be was playing a very shrewd po litical pow; and viewed froti a low • literal stand-point it was a shrewd dodge, calculated to excite the admiration of the whole army of shoddy, contractors and personal favorites who have been fattening on the secret service fund ever since the commencement of the war. This class of patriots are in ecstasies at the adroitness of their illustrious chief, regarding him as about the smartest politician of the day— smart enough to outwit Cameron, Covode, and other graduates in the art of political chica nery. Even these old stagers were completely befooled. They could not conceive it possible that the Governor•of Pennsylvania, would sol emnly assure the Legislature that he had ac cepted a di high position" from the President of the United States, and that his failing health prevented his being a candidate fur re election, when he had not accepted the office and his health was as good as could be ex pected of one who had presented so many flags and survived so many jollifications. We look in vain, through the history of the public men of our own generation for a par allel to the conduct of Gov_ Curtin_ Bancroft, in his essays upon the temperaments, tells us of a certain Cardinal who was a candidate for Pope. Before the sacred conclave met to choose a successor to the chair of St. Peter, this Cardinal was a feeble, decrepid, old man, who could not speak above his breath, and whose tottering steps promised soon to trip him into the grave. His rivals, believing that his lease of life was short and that another va cancy would soon be created by his death, withdrew their opposition, and this feeble old Cardinal was chosen; but no sooner was the triple crown planed upon his head than the hale old man throwing aside his crutches spat to the ceiling and walked erect with a firm tread. Such is the substance of Bancroft's story_ We suppose that Gov. Curtin is too good a Know-Nothing to follow the example of the best Pope That ever lived, but there is a marvellous likeness between his conduct and Baneroft's aecount of this Pope. Wfien hie rivals threatened to defeat his nomination, his health was very delicate—so delicate that he could not possitly think of being a candidate for re-election, The President, taking cam , passion upon our confirmed invalid, and anx ious to save him from self-immolation upon the altar of Ms country, had offered him a high position—rumor said, Lb* position of Mitastor to the sunny- land of Spain. He would go abroad and endeavor to regain the strength was in thpflervice of the State. He would ataiW* auhlaVe way. Hie political friends might ensile among themeelm as to his suc cessor. He would not interfere. In fact be was too sick to think of interfering, and only sighed for the day that would enable him to bid adieu to the cares and labors of the Ex ecutive office. Bat since his re-nomination mark the astonishing change ! He is no longer the languishing invalid. His health is com pletely restored. He is traveling hither and thither, and promises to stump the State from the Delaware to Lake Erie, and to honor any draft that his friends may make upon his strength. During all the time that Gov. Curtin devotes to stumping 'the State he is confessedly ne glecting his official duties. " I will be able, with more effect, to discharge my duties if I avoid being nude the centre of en active political struggle." Since he has made himself the cen tre of an active political struggle he cannot dis charge his official duties with effect, according to his own showing. While he is playing the political stump orator and magnifying his own exploits, the official duties pertaining to his office must remain entirely neglected. We take his own word for it. Now, if we suppose that Gov. Curtin spoke the truth (and we may be permitted for the sake of argument to make this supposition) it would be a cruel and unmerciful act for the people of Pennsylvania to compel him to serve another term of three years. They should con sider his failing health and take compassion upon him.. Dees he not assure us that the labors which I have necessarily undergone, have already impaired my health ? I should have serious cause to apprehend that a much longer continuance of them might so break it down as to render me unable to fuVII the duties of nay position?' If you believe that the Governor spoke the truth when he wrote these words, you surely cannot be so unkind as to insist thai a man whose health is so completely broken down as to ren der him unable to fulfill the duties of the Ex ecutive station, shall continue to perform those duties for another term of three years? This would be nothing less than murder—deliberate, premeditated and malicious murder—to compel a man to perform labors that must eventually kill him. If you do not believe the Governor spoke the truth wiser' be wrote these words. you certainly cannot vote for him—unless, in deed, you happen to belong to that.very limited class" of men who admire shoddy contractors and glory in eueh evidences of marina* with out honesty. Governor Curtin and the Soldiers- It is very clear that a desperate effort is to be made by Governor Curtin and the leading demagogues and corruptionists interested in his re-election, to secure the soldiers influ ence. If the citizen soldiery of Pennsylvania cannot vote, under the Constitution and laws, out of their respective election districts, a dis pensation from the War Office may be obtained, permitting' them to return to their homes on the eve of the election, by which the disability would be removed. But whether such dispen sation be secured or not, the soldiers have a home influence beyond their votes, and this influence Mr. Curtin and his friends mean to secure, if possible. If this important advan tage can be fairly achieved by the Abolition candidate and his lieutenants, we shall not object—but we do object to the attaining of it under false pretences, by demagOgUehln and dishonorable expedients. While we should discountenance the introduction of party poli /tics into our military camps, we certainly should join in a request to the War Office that all the soldiers of Pennsylvania, without dis tinction of party, be furloughed to return to their respective districts before the next elec tion, and oast their votes for Governor, Supreme Judge, Members of the Legislature, &c., but we warn Governor Curtin' and his friends that the people of Pennsylvania will not aubmit to a contemptible fraud, such as was practiced in New Hampshire and Connecticut, where the soldiers who would vote' the Abolition ticket alone were furloughed, and the Democrats re tained in camp, and where a Demoerhtic offi 08r.1064 dise3lsssd the service for circulating "Copperhead tickets." But, whether the soldiers obtain such fur lough or not, we enter our protest against the plan of electioneering adopted by the Gover nor and his friends of hanging his picture up in the military hospitals, and visiting the sol diers in camp under one pretext and another, for the purpose of haranguing them on poli tics, and representing Andrew G. Curtin as "the soldiers' friend," "the soldiers' candi date," &a., as though be were exclusively their friend and candidate, with other contemptible expedients to which honorable men would not resort. These tricks of the mere demagogue, which no candidate for Governor, worthy of the position, would countenance, seem to con stitute Curtin's chief reliance. They will cer tainly not increase his popularity with the high-minded, reflecting portion of the comma nity; and if our soldiers are made of the stuff we think they are, they will reject with disdain the advances of a candidate who bases his hopes of success upon the opinion that they are extremely gullible and can be won by flat tery better than by truth and reason. Recently a sword was presented to General Meade by the officers of the Pennsylvania Re serve Corps, as a testimony of their apprecia tion of him as a commander, and lo ! Gov. Curtin and his lieutenants was there present to make the most of the occasion. There could be nothing more contemptible than this—aud let us add, there can be nothing more danger ous than the drawing of a distinction between the citizen soldier and the citizen, appealing to the former to ignore all civil interests and elect to office those only who particularly distinguish themselves, or claim to have done so, in the interests of war, as though they were para mount. The demagogue who would persuade those in the military service of the country to look upon themselves only as soldiers—to for get their duties and interests as citizens—is as much a traitor as he who deliberately betrays his,country to• the, enemy for unless the whole nature of our government has been changed by the inanguratiori of an Abolition President and policy, the soldier is , but:the creature of a day —the result of a tetztpcirarY noCeSeity—while the citizen is, for all tithe, part and parcel of the government, interested:in the preservation of its free institutions and the maintenance of every civil right guararitiled by the great fun damental law upon which alone we can depend for freedom and good government. If the ob ject of the demagogues who are now in the field claiming unlimited powers for President Lincoln, and beseiging the volunteer and drafted soldiers of Pennsylvania for a solid vote for Curtin, as Lincoln's fast friend, is not to con vert this republican government into a military despotism, creating a necessity for a standing army of half a million or more, the time will soon come when our citizen soldiery will doff their uniforms and return to the pursuits of civil life, In the former view of the ques tion, we should not be surprised to see that portion of the soldiers who favored a military despotism and a huge standing army, fall into the views of Lincoln, Curtin & Co., and support them for the sake of subverting the Constitution and crushing out republican in stitutions and ideas ; but certainly in the latter view, we should be greatly aston ished to find any considerable portion of the army, especially that large portion of the rank and file who entered it as Democrats from prin ciple and conviction, settled in the faith, lis tening to and being cajoled by the hypocritical declarations and professions of a set of Abo lition demagogues—with Lincoln and Curtin at their head—who, as partisans, never talk but to deceive or act but for sinister or evil purposes. We should regret to believe that we have a soldiery made of stuff that can be deceived by the arts of such transparent dema gogues, or persuaded, or deterred from a faith ful, conscientious discharge of the duties of citizenship by the blandishments or threats of power. We have confidence in the intelli gence, the integrity and the patriotism of our soldiers, and therefore, we favor the idea of furloughing them to their respective districts to vote at the coining election. But the fur lough must be general, and not confined, as in Connecticut and New Hampshire, to regiments known l to be largely or altogether Abolition. Let all the Pennsylvania soldiers come home to vote; then, if any of them have been de ceived by the Abolition demagogues who seem to have exclusive access to the army, they may, if they choose, be undeceived ; at all events they can vote without the restraint of undue influence or the dread of arbitrary pow er—and, under such circumstances, we should be satisfied with the result, whatever it might be. If there are soldiers who can listen with pleasure to Curtin% long-winded eulogies of Curtin and his self-interested glorification of the army; if there are those who believe Dog Forney to be a patriot, and Col. M'Clure and John Cevode honest men, why all such the Abolitionists may rely upon for votes and any other required aid to overthrow the Govern ment—and to all such they are welcome. They claim that this class is the more numerous. We are willing to risk it—and with all the ad vantages Curtin has from his position. We say to the President and the War Office send all our soldiers home to vote—let us have a fair and free election, and we shall be satisfied. WHO IS THE SOLDIER'S REAL FRIEND? Extract from the decision of Judge WOOD WARD sustaining the stay law passed by our Legislature in favor of the soldier: "Now, if a stay of execution for three years would not be tolerated in ordinary times, did not these circumstances constitute an emergency that justryed the pushing of legislation to the extremest limit of the Constitution? No citizen could be blamed for volunteering. He was invoked to do so by appeals as strong as his love of country. In the nature of things there is nothing unreasonable in exempting a soldier's property from execution whilst he is absent from home battling for the supremacy of the Constitution and the integrity of the Union. And when he has not run before he was sent, but has yielded himself up to the call of his country, his self-sacrificing patriotism pleads, trumpet-tongued, for all the indulgence from his creditors which the Legislature hetebpoiaor to grant. If the term of indulgence seem long in this instance, it was not longer than the time for which the Pre sident and Congress demanded the soldier's ser- vices." NATIVE AMERICANISM. "I, am not and never'haile been a 'Native Amer ican' in any political sense, any more than lam or have been a nig, Antimason or an Abolitionist. * * * The speech so often quoted against me, lam not responsible for. It was introduced into the debates by a Whig reporter, in violation of the rules of the body, which required him to submit for revision before publication, and which he never did. * * I promptly denounced it, in the face of the Convention, as I have done many a time since, as a gross misrepresentation. * * * The Na tive American party itself is my witness. Seven years ago I was the caucus nominee for U. S. Senator. The county of Philadelphia was repre sented by Natives. They asked whether, i f elected by their votes, I would favor their measures for changing the naturalization laws, I answered them NO, and they threw every vote they cou'd command against me and ratted a shout of triumph over their victory."—Gro.
