iSt lito meeting was a complete success. The

contribeted by - Old Mother Cumberland alone.
The weathey was very unpropitious, and but
eom . law from beyond the limits of
the noWilipiOneled. Oils to the rain the
Court4iftd Eheem's Hall were used as

crowded, and yet not one-third of the people in
attandance were there. The square and streets
were thronged with persons who had come to
the meeting, but could not get into the Court
Howe and Hall. We noticed one thing par
ticularly, daring our brief visit—the old De

The whole Union looks with deep interest
on the contest in this State between the De
ntocracy and the supporters of despotic power.
The voice of Pennsylvania expressed on Tues
day next in favor of the Constitution and the
Union by the election of Woodward and Low
rie, will have an electric effect in every one of
the loyal States, bury Abolitionism ins "lower
deep," beyond the reach of resurrection, and
stimulate the Union men of the South to re
newed efforts to crush the odious administration
of Jeff. Davie and pave the way to reunion and
peace. The re-election of. Curtin, on the con
trary, will cast a gloom over the whole coun
try, seal the fate of republican institutions and
fill every patriotic bosom with despair. 0
people of Pennsylvania—Democrate and con
servative men of the Old Keystone—awake to
the magnitude of the work before you ; arouse
to action, throw off the lethargy which Is
death, swear on the altar of your country that
your country shall be saved; gird yourselves
for the battle on Tuesday with the enemies of
the Constitution ; nerve your arms for victory,
and strike for Woodward and for Lowrie—for
liberty and law.
Read the following, from the Albany Argus,
end be strengthened and inspired by the con
sciousness that ythi are looked upon by your
sister States, who are watching with interest
the course of the contest, and awaiting the
result with agonizing anxiety :
siThe administration," says the Argus, egg
sending OR to Pennsylvania large numbers of
soldiers, who - .are furloughed on condition of
voting the Abolitien ticket. The same system
of depletion, for the sake of Maine, Ohio and
other Northern States, has so weakened the
army of the Potomac, as to incapacitate it for
aggressive action, and to leave no prospect of
a fall, campaign in Virginia.
"Thus • again the army of the Potomac is
sacrificed to the partisan designs of political
demagogues. It is nearly a year since Gen.
McMullan wag remove , front the command of
an advancing and triuniphant-- army, in or
der. to administer a rebuke to the Democrats of
the North, who had carried New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Ohio and ...New York. It was when
the emcees of.the Democratic cause-in the No
vember election in the latter State became
known, that McClellan was removed. He was
then,prouning On against Lee's retreating and
defeated army, .pushing it successfully, and
cutting it off from the avenue of junction with
Eastern and Southern Virginia. - He would
have forced a battle which, 'would have been a
victory or a surrender, either of which would
have been fatal to the Confederacy.
" The victorious General was removed to
gratify the partisan malice of politicians who
revenged themselves on him, for defeat at the
polls. The slaughters of Fredericksburg and
of Chanoelloraville, tell the bloody sequence of
the story; The invasion of Pennsylvania fol
lows& ; and the abject fright of the impotents
at Washington, the record of which, for the
honor of the country, it is hoped may be ob
literated. In that hour of danger Gov. Sey
mour sent at once to the relief of Gen. Meade
and to the rescue of Pennsylvania, twice the
number of men that the Federal Government
has been able to raise in six months by its op
pressive and abortive draft.
"Pennsylvania is again put in peril by the
administration. We do not speak of the deple
tion of the Army of the Potomac which de
fends the State ; which is now itself put upon
the defensive; but of the partisanship which
has sent thousands of soldiers into that State
to vote for the Abolition Governor, while with
holding the same privilege from the great body
of Democratic soldiers.
"If the whole army were permitted to return
and give their unconstrained Totes in the con
test now pending, the result would be a Demo
cratic majority measured by tens of thousands.
The names of M'Clellan and of Seymour
are as popular among the volunteers of Penn
sylvania, as with those of our own Empire
State.
Let the free electors of Pennsylvania repair
the injustice done to their fellow citizens in
the field, by thislpartlean administratibn. Ever
since the beginning of the civil war, the op
portunities of victory, the canoe of the Union,
the rights of the °bison and of the soldier,
and the honor of our commanders have been
sacrificed to the paltry spirit of partisanship.
At this moment it has placed our boldest mili
tary commit dery in retirement, spurned the
voluntary aid of our citizen soldiers, 'in order
to substitute a coercive system of conscription,
and now subordinates the army to a base
seheme for eleeting to office the candidates of .
the Contractors and of the Shoddy Aristoc
racy.
"Let the free electors of Pennsylvania resent
this. Let them vindieate the name of biTiel
len, sacrificed to partisan 'its. Let them baf
fle the conspiracy, whiehvonitrains the vote
of the soldiery, or paralyzes their Voice. They
can do this by Tilting the Democratic ticket,
They can do more. They can uplift the fallen
banner of the Constitution, and invite under
its folds States once estranged, but which need
only be assured of welcome to return once
more to their allegiance. They can replace
the keystone of the restored arch of Union,
which shall yet again be reared, despite South
ern traitors and Northern fanatics, and which
will remain for centuries to come, like thehow
in heaven, the covenant of peace among men."
SOMETHING FOR OLD WHIGS,
Ten years ago the Abolitionists were a pow
erless faction. They were repudiated alike by
the Old Whig and Democratic parties, and were
by both regarded as enemies of the Union.—
They were denounced without measure by
Henry Clay, the great leader of the Old Whig
party. How then can Old Whigs vote with a
party under the lead of those who were the
leaders of the Abolition party ten years ago ?
Lot °Tory Old Whig oonoidia this question for
himself and decide.
Against the Constitution and 'Union.
John Brough, the Abolition candidate for
Governor in Ohio; in It speech made by him at
Cleveland, said :
"Slavery must die, else it will make more
wars. Should we patch up a peace now, with
the burden of servitude still making in the Na
tional existence, in Foe than ten years we would
be making war anew. It is wickedness to make
peace with such a cause of dissension trammeling
our future prosperity. Either slavery must be
torn up, root and branch, or our Government
will exist no longer."
Thad. Stevens, the Abolition leader of the
late Congress, in a speech recently delivered,
said :
"The Union as it wee, and the Constitution
as it is—God forbid it! That may be Abolition
dootrink but it it the right doeirine:'►
. And then :
"We must conquer the Southern States and
hold them as conquered Provinces."
These persons went the war to be continued,
not for the restoration of the Union, but for
the one object of destroying slavery. Men and
money, bleed and iiteasute, must be sacrificed
for that one object. An overtures of States to
- return to the Union met be rejected, unless
they are accompanied by a change of Conetitu.
tions, abolishing shivery. And to insure the
destruction ondavery, the constitutional rights
of the white mu and personal liberty of the
citizen in the North must be sacrificed
IltorerPay for Mechanic%
Every one is cognizant of -tit* R
employers, especially tiumAzipold in I'l4
business and manufacturing of almoet every
kind, when it is carried on extensively, are in
the habit of paying their workmen in orders
on stores which are owned by themselves or
particular friends, to the whole amount' of the
family consumption of food, clothing, and
household necessaries of every description. It
is further known that the prices at these stores
are arbitrary, fixed solely with a view to ex
orbitant profits on sales to workmen, and not
regulated by the scale of per tentage adopted
by other merchants or shop-keepers. This
imposition upon men who labor hard for low
wages, has long been a subject of reflect'.
with philanthropists who have some genuine
feeling for the white man, and even consult his
interests inpreferenee (horrid as the idea may
appear to some in these days of rampant Abe
tionism) to those of the negro. Last winter a
scheme having the sanction of Gov. Curtin, (we
believe even suggested by him) was matured in
the Legislature, and a bill to cure , the evil was
passed by an almost unanimous vote. Previous
to the passage of the bill it was submitted to
Gov. Curtin by Senator Reilly, of Schuylkill
county. After he had carefully elang l ia it
and consulted the Attorney General, the Gov
ernor said to Reilly, "It is a good bill—you
must try and pass it as soon as , possible." The
bill was, accordingly, passed by, as we have
said, nearly a unanimous vote.
The Leeslota% 'foatforisted Omit ditty—but
the GOVERNOR 'HAS NOT SIGNED THE .
ACT TO. THIS DAY.
It is said he pat it in his pocket immedi
ately after it was presented to hint,for hie ap: ,
proval, and has carried it them eier since.
The only reason We hate oter heard assigned
for this breach of faith—this dishonorable vio
lation of his solemn pledge by:Gov. Curtin, is
that he was threatened with the displeasure
and opposition 'of the manufacturers if he
signed the act. Some have suggested that
there was a gonsickra(fart in the We, but upon
this we decline to express an opinion. We
only know that he recommended the bill,
!Plied its passage, and then withheld his ap
proval after it had passed.
To show how certain the friends of the
measure were that.the Governor would sign it,
we need only quote from a communication
from Senator Reilly on the subject, recently
published in the Pottsville Standard:
"I had no doubt in my mind at the time,"
says Senator Reilly, "about the Governor's sig
nature. I was greatly surprised, however,
some months after we adjourned to learn that
it was not signed. I was so sure he would
sign the bill that I stated to several persons in
this 'county that it was signed and was then a
law."
With this plain history of the inception and
passage of the Mechanics and Laborers' Relief
Bill by the Legislature and its non-approval by
Governor Curtin before them, the working men
of the State can decide for themselves whether
they owe a vote to CURTIN on Tuesday next.
VOTERS, REMEMBER
That the election on Tuesday_ next is the mit
important that has ever ()mired in Pennsyl
vania, Upon its issue will depend whether ,
the people of the State shall have equal rights
under the Constitution as they have been en
joyed for upwards of seventy years, with their
rights of person and property protected, or
whether the people of the State shall become
the subjects of a vast central military despo
tism. This, in short, is the great issue to be
decided.
A Base Forgery.
We published in yesterday's PATRIOT AND
UNION a letter from Lewisburg stating that a
circular containing gross falsehoods had been
mailed at the Harrisburg post office, addressed
to Democratic citizens of that town, signed ---
"B. A. N., Sec'y. By order of the Confidential
Committee," and purporting to come from a
Democratic source. No copy of the circular
was sent us; but from the very fact that it
contained 'falsehoods" and came from a "Con
fidential Committee," we pronounced it a
fraud and a forgery, because we knqw that
Detiocrats do not deal in "falsehoods" and have
no "Confidential Committees."
We have since seen the circular in Governor
Curtin's central organ, and we reiterate what
we said yesterday—it is a forgery, a base at
tempt to deceive honest, simple-minded Demo
crats. It bears on its very fee() evidence strong
enough to satisfy any aepsible man that no
Democrat had a hand in its preparation. It
is the work of men who are at once fools and
scoundrels—and for this very reason, coupled
with the fact that he had it on hand to pub
lish as soon as we called attention to it, we
suspect the postmaster of this city of being at
once the principal contributor to the produc
tion and the active agent in giving it circu
lation.
We re-publish , the Circular as it appeared in
Gov. Curtin's central organ, to let Democrats
and Republicans see to what despicable shifts
Curtin and his friends will resort to mislead
the public mind. Here it is—and, so far as it
purports to come from any member, or autho
rised body of the Democratic party, or to ex
press its sentiments and designs, it is as base
a lie as ever was coined, as infamous an at
tempt at deception as ever was practiced ; even
by 'Bergner himself:
PHILADELPHIA, PA., Sept., 1863.
DEAR SIR:—We have been informed that you
are an unconditional Democrat ; and as such
we ask you to be upend doing. We must work
or be forever defeated, for the Abolitionists are
doing all they can—let us take example by
them. The time is short ; and if we go to work.
we may yet accomplish what we should have
done last July, but in a different way. We
have a true friend of our cause in New York,
Gov. Seymour, but he saye he can do nothing
unless Pennsylvania and Ohio join him, by
electing our man Woodward, and Ohio electing
Vallandigham. We will then be all right, so
we need not fear all the Abolition States of the
East. The way to accomplish this is, if we are
blamed as being disunionist% we. must deny it
in every shape and form, as there are some
that do not actually know what is to their in
terests. They are made believe that with
out the old Union they could not live. This is
one of the greatest humbugs entirely; why not
live as well ae Prussia, and Austria, and many
other nations, who'have nothing but blazed
trees between them, and yet they live in har
mony, and why should not we, besides ours
would be Democratic. If New York, Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois were joined
together we could elect whoever we please, to
rule over us, without asking the Eastern States
who might butt them.
Every State has a right to do what they dee

proper. Is le Whit the Confederate States
contend for, and justly. So, if they are let
talilise, they will not trouble us. To do this,
inerimst get our Democratic candidates eke
tacV in Pennsylvania and Ohio, we will have
our soldiers called home. And then if Lincoln
wishes to carry on this war to subjugate the
Confederate States, let :him see where hegets
his men. You musfurge.tipon'youe neighbors
that Cnxtin has violated avery4ruM; and that
he has never done foithelteldiers whit he_ho
represepted to have donehat they are= dll
litepublioan lies. If you have any in your
neighborhood that pretend to be Union Demo
crats call them Abolitionists and everything
you can think of tolrive them into the ranks.
Tell them that-just such men actheyhave been ,
the cause of having , martial law declared in
Kentucky. If it had not been for martial law,
Kentucky would have been all right, . that is,
she would now be where she should be—in the
SiUthern Confederacy.
This circular is strictly confidential.
Whatever you do, keep it a secret. Let none
of the Republicans or Abolitionists get this, or
it might raise an awful gale, and they might
put martial law in force which would frustrate
all our plans. If possible we will get some of
our friends from the country towns to visit
every election district on the day of the elec
tion, with one of these circulars and warn the
people against mob news. This will have the
desired - effeot, if in case same should be lost or
lifted in a miatate. Be sure and vote for your
whole State and county ticket. None received
the nomination but unconditional members of
our cause. Yours, reepeotfully.

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
justified the pushing of legislatien 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 theft is nothing unreasonable
in exempting a soldier's property from execution
whilst he is absent from home battling for the
supremacy of the Cons titution Co 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 selfatterifiein,q patriotism pleads,
trumpet-tongued, for all the indulgence from his
creditors which the Legislature have power t 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."
Democrats beware of false stories just on
the eve of eleCtion day. The Abolitioniefe
know, that their cause is, opeless and that they
are a defeated party in Pennsylvania They
have therefore become desperate, and they will
make a desPerate effort to retrieie themselves
and prevent power kom paesingAom their
hands. They will doubtless °fret:ilia:auk kinds
of stories and falsehoods about the Democratic
candidates. BELIEVE THEM NOT. March
