Woodward, lion. Jeremiah S. Black, Hon-
Wm. A. Porter, H. C. Dean, Esq., sad others,
and was immense end enthusieditle, from fifteen

Senatorial Nomination.
We understand that Herman Alrisks, of
Harrisburg, was nominated for Senatee by the
Democratic Conferees from Lebanon and Dsu
phi; who met at Lanegiter yegteriliy. A•
better candidate could not have been selected.
Maj. Geo. W. Woodward.
Among the Washington news items in the
New York News we notice the following
" The camp of the Invalid Corps, at Meri
dian Hill, Washington, is under the command
of Major George W. Woodward, the son of the
Desuogratk candidate for Governor of Penn
sylvania. The corps 'now comprises nine thou
sand men. Major Woodward is engaged in
forming them into regiments."
Major Woodward, although he has distin
guished himself in several battles with the
rebels, is nevertheless, like his distinguished
father, considered a " Copperhead" by the
Abolitionists.
Johnstown Democrat.
We are glad to learn that, in spite of the
efforts of " Scrip" and " Shoddy" men to put
it down, this excellent Democratic paper is
rapidly extending its subscription and useful
ness. The true and only way to build up and
keep up a newspaper is to seize upon the truth
and stick to it, honestly and fearlessly, in spite
of the remonstrance of timid friends or the
hostility of malignant foes. Depend always
n.pon
.the people for support—advocate their
interests—and there is no danger of failure.
Politicians may sometimes grumble end threat
en, corrupt men may plot for your destruction
—but the people axe stronger than the politi
cians and corruptionists combined, and will
keep up every paper that honestly and boldly
maintains the right.
Soldiers Coming Home to Vote.
It is stated in an Abolition paper of more
than questionable veracity that •hundreds and
thousands of soldiers will be at home to vote
on the second Tuesday in October," and the
same paper, which is "sore given to lying,"
assures these gallant fellows "that the first
soldier who offers to vote win be brained at
the polls," by the Copperheads. We beg leave
led Copperheads by such Abolition slanderers
es the editor Of the paper alluded to) will be
right glad to see them all at home, on the day
of election, depositing their ballots like free
men and good citizens. Democrats object to
any partial selection of soldiers to come home
from particular corps, or regiments, or comps•
vies, on account of their political sentiments,
but they are by no means so blood-thirsty as,
under any circumstances, to pitch into the
“first soldier" who steps up to vote, or the
second, or third one, and knock out his brains.
That was a mere figure of speech, and as the
proprietor of the paper is good at altering
figures, we advise him to change it before the
election.
Andrew G. Curtin.
The portraits of the “shoddy candidate," as
painted by his own partisans, show a most vll
- countenance. But it is said by those
who know him best that the artists were true
to nature, and that the likeness to the original
in all the pictures is perfect. We are of the
same opinion, but not trusting too much to our
own judgment we subjoin for public inspection
some of those which have fallen under our ob
servation.
Hon. S. A. Purviance, for a time Attorney
General, when he could stand the corruption
which he saw rapidly pervading the adminis
tration no longer, sent to tlov. Curtin the fol
lowing brief bat significant resignation :
" For reasons which appeal to my SELF
RESPECT, I cannot consent to continue any
longer in connection with your administration.
L therefore, tender you my resignation Of the
office of Attorney General."
In commenting upon this action of Mr. Fur
viance, the Pittsburg - Chronicle, a Republican
journal, thus wrote': .
"We are not yet informed what these reasons
are ; but enough is known to state that they
arise ont of the alleged complicity a'f the Gov
ernor in those SCANDALOUS CONTRACT
TRANSACTIONS through which the State
has been SWINDLI',D out of immense sums
of money, and our brave volunteers subjected
to a series of hardships and inconveniences
which few but themeelves irould have had the
patience to tolerate."
So we have it in black and white from Mr.
Purviance, that "self-respect" induced him to
dissolve his connection with a fraudulent and
corrupt administration, of which Andrew Cr.
Curtin was the head. May we not suppose
that thousands of honest eitireni will, for the
same ?reason, refuse to vote for.hhis same Curtin
for Governor:?
The Carlisle :American, as black a Republicani;
paper as is printed in the 'State, said in Is6l,
in reference to the passage of the bill repeal.:
log the tonnage tax, Sro.:
"We record with shame and unfeigned sor
row, thatbour State Legislature, on SatundKr
last, passed throsgh the lower House, a bill
releasing the mortgage of the - State on the
Sunbury and Erie railroad, and also, a bill for
the repeal•of the. Tonnage Tax on the Penn
sylvania railroad. By these acts the Stateqs
plundered of fifteen mations of dollora, add
burthens to that extent fastened on the maks
of the tax payers of the 'Commonwealth, • , for
the benefit of soulless corporations."
Cortin.(iaho had previously pledged himself
to - veto any repeal bill,) signed both - thee%
bills, by which, as this Republican paper al
leges, the State was "plundered of FIFTEEN
MIL LIONS OF DOLLARS, and burthens to
that extent fastened on the necks of the tax
payers, for the benefit of soulless verpora
tions." -
Is it at alrlikely thet.the "tax payer's" of
Pennsylvania are so enamoured of texteNan
-that they-will deliberately vote to re-elect the
man who, •hie own party papers confess, -at one
-dash of -hie pen added . .. Veen -millions :of dot

heavy for them to howl
We might content ourselves with the presen

of the -man who they are asked.by the4boli
lion re-eleot. dlut as we have-several
more in-our possession, we will add another
which we -think is better than either of the
preceding. The .Gettysbatg Star and Banner

-"Whilst -skies, counties, boroughs, volunteer

National Government, we , are pained -1)y the
report of official dnegleet an, t -speculation. *fore
than this, we have seen oar noble comrades
miserably clothed, and-both badly, andcoan
tily, provisioned bythose.paid, awl well vaid,
to see to these 'important considerations. 'We
held our peace when, recently, we were eogni
zant of dieted:, 4hot the quartermaster of our
own company was under the necessity otpro
ottliNg himself 'its a pair of iscalee , to protect
the company egainet the rapacity of an officer,
and when we heard the loud-complaints of-the
"Buck Tails" on aseount of outrageous treat-.
meat, because in-the one case, we-thought it
the villainy of a minor °thee, and the neces
sary delay, in the other, of an overtaxed ad
ministration. All this it seems was but the be
ginning of gigantic fraud, as though the tui
tion and the State hod not been BO diegueted
by the perfidy% of recent administrations, theta
hurled them from power, more for that cause
than any other. The auto, whosaahes the pre
sent ~fort of the people to preserve the liberties
fought for, and achieved hyonriatinrc, en occasion
to rob our Soldier% and enrich himself, IS AN
ENEMY WHOM IT WOULD RE CHARITY
TO HANG. We care not who is the guilty
party. He who defrauds our brave soldiers
is worse than a traitor. We do not know who
is immediately to. blame, but this we know,
THAT GOV. CURTIN CANNOT ESCAPE
CENSURE. Either he is implicated with there
public thieves, and receives part of the plunder, or
he it gu ilty of appointing met to office who deserve
the execration of all good citizens. He may take
which horn of the dilemma he may please. The
position of affairs renders official peculation
doubly monstrous. Rave We just fled from
corruption, to corruption—from one vile ad
ministration, to another viler ? Many voted
for Gov. Curtin to avoid corruption, AND HAVE
THEY LINKED THEMSELVES TO ROTTEN
NESS ? If the interests of this country are
bound up with the success of republican prin
ciples, as entinciated in the Chicago platform,
as we believe they are, it becomes the party to
purge its ranks of THESE VILE MEN, and
let the STIGMA OF THEIR VILLAINY rest
on them alone, and not on the party. AWAY
WITH TRAITORS AND MEN WHO SPECU
LATE ON PATRIOTISM."
14(kinr that the opportunity le presented to the ,
people to get rid of “these vile men"—Andrew
G. Curtin and the corrupt coterie that surround
him—will they not avail themselves of it ?
Will they not reject with scorn a candidate
who has added millions to the ten burden of
the people, who has "robbed our soldiers" to
"enrich himself," who "is implicated with pub
lic thieves," (as alleged by hie own party
press)) and who, if rr-o':?tel, we nanof
will son
=lf=
the same dishonest and criminal practices.
Our duty ie to open the eyekef the'people,
having done which we can do no more. The
man Curtin, his character and acts, as repre
sented by his own party, we have placed be
fore them. When they vote they will vote un
derstandingly, and will be alone responsible
for the folly or wisdom of their choice.
The Malec Election.
The election in Maine has resulted in the
election of Cony, the Abolition candidate for
Governor by a majority of probably 18,000.
This termination of the contest neither aston
ishes nor alarms us ; we had anticipated it,
and were therefore fully prepared for the an
nouncement. The Abolition papers Crow as
though they had gained a great and unexpec
ted victory—but they are given to small things,
and we do not feel in the least annoyed by the
clamor they mate. As long as the Democracy
can maintain the hold they now unquestion
ably have upon the great States of the North,
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, with New Jersey certain, and Widow
tin probable, they will have no reason to regret
the course •ef Maine and her sister Yankee
States. We rejoice rather that, politically, we
are now separated from them. Why should
we not? Their ways are not our ways, nor
their thoughts our thoughts. We are as widely
apart from them in sentiment ag We are from
the Malays or the inhabitants of the Fejee
Islands.
New England is the hot-bed of all that is het
erodox ha politics and religion ; a region teem
ing with moral monsters ; a womb fruitful
of every kind and degree of fanaticism; the
nursery of infidelity, spiritualism, Fourierism,
Fanny Wright-ism, Abby Kelly-ism, Foster
ism, Abolitionism, Sectionalism, Disunion
ism, revolution and civil war ; a brazen cal
dron, heated as it were by the fires of hell
itself, in which is ever kept bubbling and boil
ing the bitter waters of pride and envy and
covetousness, from which spring hatred, dis
eord and -al the legiorvAtf evils that follow in
theirn . "SU has now, consiazotttly we
think, -3come a unit in support of Lincoln's
administration. One after the other these
peddling, meddling, codfish and blubber oil
Yankee . States have taken their position in the
ranks of this Union-wrecking administration.
Maine was the last to record her adhesion, and
now all of them are in the right place—where
they ought to be—where their infamous prin
ciples and thievish instincts lead them. 'New
England is rotten, Shoddy to the core.; and
therefore she has placed, herself in-a position
where she can freely commune with congenial
spirits. Always greedy'-after gain, we find
her now in pursuit 'of kinder. Where the
carcass is, there will the vultures gather, and
the Yankee heart turns yearninglyto the "flesh
pots" of Washington.
The New Englanders fare always been mis
chief-breeders, fetchers of •dissension.; their
counsel, when followed, hasalwaysteenfurt
fut. There can to no concord in any •govern
went of which they firm a component part.
Like Lucifer, they would .raise war in Heaven,
if the Celestial Kingdom were not.governed•ap

world for the evil deeds dhey commit, acts Tin
most elms through human agency; and if the
money changers and traders were cast out of

we can forma pretty correct idea of what will
ultimately be the fate of those who have vio

their oaths of office, trampled upon the Con
stitution and laws, mismanaged every - depart
ment of the Government, enacted and-executed
the most arbitrary laws, ill-treated the army
and some of its most competent and beloved
officers, shut up innocent eitiZetta it loathsome
prisons, plundered the treasury of millions of
money. encouraged deception, fraud and false
hood, demoralized the whole land, whetted the
pub& appetite for blood, in short, brought the
country, which, when the administration fell
into their hands, was prosperous and peaeeful,
to the very verge of ruin, and crowned all these
infamous deeds by an edict closing the civil
courts against every appeal from their oppres
sive and despotic acts. If Cain was turned

der a vagabond upon the face of the earth, for
slaying his Intuther—if Nebuehadnezzer was

THE SOLDIERS , RIGHT TO VOTE.
When a soldier returns to his election district,
he resumes all the civil rights of citizenship, and
his residence being unimpaired by Me temporary
absence, he has a right to vote on election day, but
under the Constitution, to which his fealty is due,
he can acqrsire 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. ft strikes em that this is an inaccurate use
of language. The Constitution would disfranchise
no qualified voter. But, to secure purity of elec
tion,* would have its voters in the place where they
are best known on election day. If a voter volun
taiik stays at home, or goes on a journey, or joins
the army of his country, can it be said the Consti
tution has disfranchised him ? Pour of the judges
of this court, living in other ports of this State,
find themselves, on the day of every Presidential
election, in the city of .Pitteburg, where their official
duties ta/ce them and where they are not permitted
to vote. Have they a right to charge the Consti
tution with disfranchising them ? Such fs our case
and such is the case of the volunteers in the army.
The right of de rage -is oareully prorate' for
both them and us, to be enjoyed when we return to
the places which the Constitution has appointed for
its exercise.—Guo. W. WOODWARD.
THE !UNION
"These States are glorious in their individuality,
but their collective glories are in the Union. By
all means, at all haaards, are they to be main
tained in their integrity and the full 'measure of
their constitutional vighis—for only-so•is the Union
to be preserved—only so is it worth

blended, produce the -ray •of light. It -is ,the com
pleteness of these assembled 89vereignties, lacking
nothing which they have not lent for a great pur

Union is •a word 'of gracious omen. It implies
confidence and afection—mutual support and pro

expression of the.strongest passion of young hearts.

NEWS OF THE DAY.
BY TELEGRAPH.
WASHINGTON RUMORS. •
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 17.—The Inquirer's
correspondent at Washington telegraphs us
that, owing to a disagreement with Admiral
Dahlgren, Gen. Gilmore has tendered his res
ignation to the President. This is unexpected
news, but we cannot believe for a moment that
the President will accept the resignation or be
willing to lose the valuable services of General
Gilmore at the juncture when they are most
needed. It is thought, in Washington, that
Admiral Farragut will be ordered to' Charles
ton, to take command of the fleet, and co-ope
rate with Gen. Gilmore.

this morning, there has been a disagreement
between Gen. Gilmore and Admiral Dahlgren,
invoking the tender of resignation by the foi

aware of theAppreach of the expedition, and
securing arms, ammunition, signal flags, tele
scopes, etc..
The Commander says : "The capture of this
signal station, which serves the rebel line

alry, and one oompany of artillery— w hi c h , I
learn, were about being forwarded to Rich

route will be perfectly safe.
THE PROTECTION OF OVERLAND EMIGRANTS
Captain Fiske reports the progress of the ex
pedition from Fort Abercrombie to Fort Ben
ton, under his charge, for the protection of
emigrants by the Northern route. On the Ist
of August he was 268 miles west of Fort Aber
crombie. He had a guard of only 50 men,
with which he traversed the Sioux country.
He adds: " Since leaving Fort Abercrombie
our progress has been most satisfactory. Not
withstanding the extraordinary drouth this
season, we have not suffered so far for want of
grass or water; proving, I think, the great su
periority of this route. Our party is in excel
lent heaith, and the cattle, horses, ez,c., are in
fair condition."

THE DAMAGE EY THE FROST
Advices received at the Agricultural Bureau
since the occurrence of the frost show that the
daroar done to crops is not so great as at first
anticipated. The injury to the sorgo is com
paratively slight, and proves that the plant is
more hardy than corn and tobacco, with which
it has heretofore been chased.
