Soldiers and True Friends of the Soldier
The Greensburg (Westmoreland county) Re
publican, edited by Col. Will A. Stokes, contains
the following communication
To the Editor of the Westmoreland Republican:
Sin:—A. G. Curtin, the Black Republican
candidate for Governor, who was foisted upon
his party by the military despotism now reign
ing at Washington, professes to be the friend of
the soldiers, and hopes to make votes thereby.
He arid his blatant orators may induce some
people here at home to belieie it; but that kind
of gammon won't go down with the soldiers—
they know him too well'. -
It is a well known fact;that Gov. Curtin and
John Covode, "honest John," tried to break up
the organization of Col; R. Coulter's regiment
while at Camp Curtin, in 18 61-that , after the
regiment was filled up througli,the personal
exertions of the Colonel and a wof his per
sonal friends, Gov. Curtin took-Saw three of
the companies and gave them. to a political
friend in the east to make upiis regiment,
and Col. Coulteee regiment was kept lying in
that poisonous, filthy hole, Camp Curtin, till
sickness in it became so alarming that the Gov
ernor was forced to let it go—though it then
had but mine companies, and soon after the
men commenced dying like rotten sheep.
It was the. Governor's cruelty to that regi
ment that cost the livee of Wm. M'Cutohen,
Henry Brenneman, Joe.. Rhodes, Johnson M'-
Cutohen, Young Bricker, and a number of other
gallant spirits. It was hoped that on leaving
the State, Gay. Curtin would cease his enmity,
but it followed the regiment to Annitpolis, and
Surgeon General Smith was sent to find out
cause of complaint against it. He was one of
the Governor's creatures, and, though he was
not an hour with the regiment, he went home
, and prepared a very bitter report, complaining
among other things, of the discipline of the
regiment, a thing which he had no means of
knowing anything about, and no right to say
' anything about, if he did. One Surgeon DP-
Nulty was then sent, and he, after an hour's
' visit, made another violent and partisan report,
and these reports being sent to the War De•
partment,doubtless with the view of having the
regiment broken np, -and the men sequestered
to fill up the ranks of political officers who had
not personal energy and popularity enough to
recruit for themselves ; but the War Depart
ment sent Assistant Inspector General J. N.
Davis, an old regular officer, and Brigade Sur
geon Campbell, to looped the regiment fairly
and report.
They visited the regiment, !Tending several
days with it, inspecting each man carefully,
and being sent to ascertain and report facts,
and having no partisan or political prejudice,
they did report the facts, and their report is a
most complete vindication of the regiment
against the aspersions attempted to be cast
upon it by Gov. Curtin and his minions.
That report was sent home for publication,
to show the familiesand friends of the soldiers
that they were being properly cared for, and
that these cruel false reports circulated by the
Governor's friends were without foundation.
The °tiepin* of the regiment handed the
report to the editor of the Herald for publica
tion, but the loyal editor of that magnanimous
sheet refused to publish them, preferring to
,let his own people in the army, his friends and
neighbors from this country, suffer under these
unjust aspersons,rather than publish the facts,
for fear of offending his master, the Governor;
and a few weeks since on being reproved for
his want of interest in his own county regi
ment, he tried to throw the blame on his toot,
M'Afee. It has been said. that M'Afee con
trols his paper, and as M'Afee.was about that
time trying to get a clerkship at Harria"urg,
of course he would not allow anything to be
said which would affront the Governor, and as
the astute editor himaelf was looking up to the
public crib for some nubbins in the shape of
the assessorship or .sorne, other fat office by
which he might he enriched and make some
thing out of the war without exposing his
precious person, it Would not do to take the
part of those the Governor was o pposing, as
the Governor had such • great influence at
Washington.
It has been said by Men recently "from that
regiment that Gov. Curtin could not get ten
votlis in it—it is doubted if -he would get one.
R may be alleged that the Colonel of the
11th Pa. volunteers belongs to the same par
ty with the Governor and editor of the Herald
—if so it was a stronger reason why his regi
ment should be endorsed and sustained at
home—at all events it leaves the Governor and
his tools without any excuse.
It is also a well known fact in the army that
on one occasion last fall Gov. Curtin 'visited
the army near Falmouth, and had his intended
visit to his soldiers, (as he insolently calls
them,) announced some days before in orders
to each regiment. The Governor did go to the
Army of the Potomac; but only visited General
Meagher's brigade. While there a steeple
chase was got up for amusement, and the Gov
ernor got so drunk he could not get away for
two days, and did nvi visit his soldiers_ He how.
ever sent his regards and regrets that public
business prevented his seeing them, which was
again published in orderteto the several regi
ments, and the men knowing the facts, recei
ved the announcement with shouts of laughter
and with scorn and derision, but were on the
whole quite as well pleased that the Governor
had got too drunk to visit them, as it saved
them the fatigue and disgrace of turning out
on review for him.

If any one doubts the foregoing statements

Col. Coulter, which can be shown, and will

ENGLISH VIEW OF PRESIDENT LIN
COLN'S LETTER TO THE SPRING
FIELD CONVENTION.
The London Times, of the 14th, closes an ar
ticle on American affairs, with some sensible
remarks on President Lincoln's Letter. To the
question asked by the Times—" Will the Ameri
can people be Content," &0., we can reply that
the Abolition portion of them—the "-unques
tioning" supporters of the administration, will
be " Content" pith anything as long as there
is a prospect of retaining political power by
war, or a dollar in the treasury to steal. The
Times says
" But the political news is far the most in
teresting and important part of the intelligence
we publish to-day. The letter of President
Lincoln to the New York State Convention of
the Republican party, is pitohed in a very
different key from the letters we have been ac
customed to receive 'from Mr. Seward. It is
remarkable that at the most successful moment
of the war ; while daily expecting to hear that
the fall of Charleston had followed that of
Vicksburg, the President speaks in a graver
and more sober tone than has yet reached us
from the Federal Government. " The war,"
he says, "progresses as favorably since the
issue of the Emancipation Proclamation as be
fore it." If that is all he can say, we do not
wonder at his adding that it would not do to
be ".sanguine of a speedy and final triumph."
He appears,in fact,to be opening his eyes at last
to the hopeless politicel difficulties which would
surround him in any dealings With the seceded
States. It is satisfactory to see that he repu
diates the farce of treating as of any import
ance the pretended Union sentiments of packed
meetings in Mississippi and Tennessee—'Any
compromise to be effected must be made with
the rebel army or those who control it, or with
the population it commands;' and he denies that
any overture has ever been made to his GOY.
ernment by either of these powers. The Con
federate government show no sign of making
any such proposals. The comparatively quiet
intelligence whieh we publish to-day tells of
patient and determined resistance at every
point ; and, with oharacterictic awkwardness,
while admitting that the only advances toward
peace can come from the army and its leaders,
Mr. Lincoln throws the greatest possible diffi
culty in the way of their ever thinking of any
such overture by letting it be understood that
the leaders of the secession would be the only
persons excepted from any amnesty. While
President Davis and the able men wo surround
him know that whatever might be the result to
the country their Bahraini= would be followed
by their own ruin, and possibly their execu
. tion, they will certainly strain every nerve to
induce the Southern people to fight to the last.
" Mr. Lincoln declares, too, that no compro.
raise embracing the maintenance of the Union
is now )ossible. ,He commits himself, in so
many words, to a war of conquest, to last pos
sibly, by his own admission, for years, and
without having any definite plan or policy
whatever for the government of the country he
proposes to conquer. With such a prospect it
is natural that not even the antieipated fall o f
Charleston was sufficient to rouse him to any
language beyond that of sullen resolution.—
The chanbes of the conquest itself are distant
enough, if the reinforeement of his armies
proceeds as it'has hitherto done in the Eastern
States. The gunbeate that patrol the Hudson,
the artillery that commands the squares, and
the twenty or thirty thousand men who garri
son New York, have produced a return of not
quite 2,000 conscripts. Even these are not
likely to be of much use if he has to 'begin en
forcing discipline in his new army by shooting
seven substitntes for conscripts who had de
serted. The negro troops will not help him,
if the Southern States, as seems to be the case,
have made up their minds to the arming of the
slaves. But when the last Confederate army
is annihilated, what does he imagine be could
do with the miserable remnant of the South
ern population and the mass of helpless ne
groes ? He confesses that his hands are tied
by the Emancipation Proclamation, and that
be can do little else than let things alone.—
Will the American be content to let the great
ship of their republic drift any further help
less and rudderless into this vast and fearful
storm, with a pilot *ho confesses he cannot
guide her, but must let her drive before the
wind?"
THE JUDGMENT AGAINST -CURTIN:We have
repeatedly called attention to the decided and
unequivocal manner in which Andrew 'G. Cur
tin has been condemned by his own party. No
public man ever went before the people, beg
ging for their votes, with such a stained,
blackened record as that which the Abolition
ists themselves have presented of their own '
candidate for Governor. Corruption and im
becility have been istdellibly stamped upon
him by their own hands ; and so universal is
their belief in the truth of the claiming Char
ges against him, that no Abolition journal of
awr weight , or influence has had the hardi
hood or brazen impudence to attempt to deny
them. It was the positive evidence in their
possession of his rank corruption that caused
the Hon. S. A. Purviance, through " self-re
spect," to resign his position as Attorney
General—that induced the Pittsburg Gazette
that his "renomination would be a disgrace to
the Abolition party and his election iMpOeei
ble"---and that forced a large number of dele
gates in the Pittsburg convention to earnestly
protest against his being made the candidate
of a party already borne down under the heavy
weight of its manifold sins and transgressions.
Can the honest voters of Pennsylvania repose
any confidence in a man.so utterly and uni
versally condemned by his own partisans?" Can
they plain:, the vital interests of the old Key
stone in his keeping for three years longer,
when his past terns of service proves that he
is an unfaithful public servant, and after he
has been preineuneed by Abolitionists them
selves the most corrupt public man that ever
disgraced this or any other country ? Let
them answer at. the polls on the second Tues
day of next October. Hollidaysburg Stan

THR. WAR .18 rot THE NRHAO..—The Repub
lican mass meeting which was held at Lewis
burg on the 22d inst. halted out to be a email
affair. One of the speakers was Mr. Coffey,
(11. S. District Attorney,) from Philadelphia,
who made the following declarations:
4•Democrsta toll uc that this war is waged
for the abolition of slavery. I as/mm*4e it,
it is true, and I do not.pretend to deny it, that
this war is roofed for the abolitiosof•tikivery and
its Anal extermination in the Statee where it
yet exists. I hope and pray God that this-war
will not cease until the last shackle that 'clanks
about the aegis; shill be broken, and every
dive be ag free as vssare."

The euspention of the privilege of habeas
corpus gives to at least, 10,000 underlings of
rresident Lincobz the right to arrest citizens,
andlold them in'onotay, subjeet to no revis
ion by the Courts. What are the offences for
which citizens are thus liable to arrest and im
prisonment 2. Lincoln, Itisiself, has defined
them in his' letter Ito ‘the. Albany Democrats,
He says : " The man who stands by and soya
nothing cannot be misunderstood. If not hin
dered he is sure to help the enemy ; much more
if he talks ambiguously-talks for his country
with 'buts' and 'ifs' and 'ands' !"
Again he says, discriminating against white
men and in favor of black;
Then there will be some black men who can
remember that with silent tongue, and clench
ed teeth, and steady eye, and well poised-bayo
net, they have helped mankind on to this great
consummation, while I fear that there mill be
some white men unable to forget that with ma
lignant heart and deceitfUl speech they have
striven to hinder it.
The President has also in one MO laid down
a rule which he illustrated by acts, for our fu
ture instruction :
Mr. Vallandigham is punished, not so much
for what he has done, as for what he might
do.
As a still further illustration, we refer to
the followirs, order, which still unretracted,
stains with infanifthe'cliaracter of the Nation

WAR DEPARTMENT, ADJ. GENERAL'S OFFICE,

Lieut. A. J. Edgerly, 4th New Hampshire Vol

doing all in his power to promote the success
of the rebel cause in his State.
By order of the Secretary of War,
L. THOMAS, Adjutant General.
To the Governor of . New Hampshire.
Here it is distinctly held that " opposition to
the Administration," as indicated by - voting
the Democratic ticket even by a man who had
voluntarily exposed his life in . fighting the
Rebels, is " aiding and assi.ting the Rebel
cause ;" and the plurality of the people of New
Hampshire, who voted the same ticket, are
equally placed under the ban.
So if the majority of the people of Ohio side
with Vallandighata, they too come under the
definition of " alders and abettors of the Rebel.
cause ;" and are liable to an arrest, from which
there is no appeal to the Courts of Justice.
Never has partisanship disclosed its brutal
feelings and purposes with more coarseness
and repulsiveness. And yet it proposes to
clothe its rancorous fanaticism with absolute
power.—Acbany Argue.
DEMOCIL4TS STAND BY YOUR GUNS
The great political battle will soon be de
cided. Every vote will count in this struggle
for "Free Speech," " The Union," and " The
Constitution." Let no Democrat be absent
from the pale • gee that every Democrat in
your neighborhood votes. Let no business in
terfere to prevent this. You owe it to yourself,
your country and your party, See to it.
WHAT THEY PROMISE
"Free Press," "Free Speech," and "free
dom"—"Protection to American Industry,"
•Economy and Reform," "Good times for the
poor man," "Protection to State Sovereignty
and State Institutions," "a return to the pol
icy of the fathers," "Obedience to the Con
stitution and Laws," "Pea.Ce, harmony, and
National prosperity."
WHAT THEY GAVE US.
A muzzled "Press ;" "Free Speech" stricken
down by mobs, and executive power; "free
dom" usurped by arbitrary arrests, bastiles
and bayonets ; "American industry" destroy
ed; "Economy and reform" lost sight of by
the most reckless and etupendoue system of
robbery, party speculation and extravagance
ever known to the world ; "obedience .to the
Constitution and the laws" exchanged for the
"higher law!' Yet these men have the au
dacity to ask you to vote for them again I
