The Democrats want to preeerve the Consti
tution and restore the Union.
"My life," says Judge Woodward, " has
been spent, thus far, in upholding the Consti
tution of the United States as the fathers
framed it—the Union they formed—and the
Constitution and lama of the State and what.
ever of life remains to me, will be devoted to
the same ends."
The Abolitionists—the party that uphold
Lincoln in hie usurpations, and support Cur
tin in this contest, want to repudiate the Con
stitution as the fathers framed it, and the
Union they framed. Thadderis Stevens de
clares they will have neither of them. In his
Christiana speech he exclaimed
" The Union as it was—the Constitution as
it is—God forbid ! This may be Abolition doc
trine, but it is right, and it is mine."
Vice President Hamlin, in a speech recently
delivered by him,reiterates the same sentiment;
Butler does the same, and so have all their
prom - 4
eat men who have broached the ques
tio - the stump. Lincoln, and Chase' and
Stanton, and Curtin, hold to the infamous doc
trine of repudiating the Constitution of the
fathers and the 'Union as they framed it i
Greeley advehates it in the Tribune, and the
entire Abolition press, without an exception,
have endorsed it.
Thus we stand on the record--
The Democrats for the Constitution as it is
the Un ion as it was ;
'Abolitionists against both, and for a
Central Despotic Government, with power to
crush out freedom and endive the .people.
Citizens of Pennsylvania, to-morrow - you
must choose between these parties.
If you are for the • Conatitution and. the
Union—for free Government and State Rights,
If :you are for overthrowing the' Constitn
tution, for destroying the Union, and for a
strong Despotic Government—for huge debt
and crushing tazation..for endless wars sad
bloodched—for such measures as make the
country a desolation and the people slaves and
paupers,
VOTE FOR CURTIN.
Elect him and sustain Lincoln, and you will
ha° all these curses upon you. If you vote
do it with your eyes wide open to the
consequences, and be prepared to answer to
God and to your fellow men for the miseries
you will bring upon the nation.
Treason North and South Shaking Ha?ds.
It has been One of the chief objects of the
Abolition press to create ait imuressiqn that
the Democracy of the North were' in league
with the secessionists of the South. Cnrtin's
central organ herebas damned itself with atro
cious lies intended to establish this intimacy.
In addition to its own reckless assertions—
which no one acqttainted with the proprietor
and editor believes—it has published what
falsely purported to be extracts from Southern
papers, expuessing anxiety for the sneeees of
the Democracy of Pennsylvania in the coming
election. AO a "counter blast" to these cooked .
up extracts,' we published in Saturday's PA
TRIOT an editorial from John Forsyth's Mobile
Register, and we follow it up to-day by a para
graph from the Richmond Enquirer, showing
-Clearly the light in which the Southern rebels
view the two Northern parties—Abolitionists
and Democrats. The Rnouirer is the Richmond
organ of Jeff. Davis, and his cabinet, and of
course speaks from high authority. This rebel
paper says ;
"The Democratic party [of the North] was
our worst enemy, and but for, its poisonous em
braze thin. States wonld have been free and clear
of the unnatural Union twenty years ago.
"IT IS NOT THE SEW - ARDS AND SUM-
ArEBS, THE BLAOK REPUBLICANS AND
ABOLITIONISTS, 11:110 HAVE HURT US.
They were right all along," .Se.
That ie the view which /elf. Davie sad 'hie
fellow-traitors take of the twp parties.
.The
Democrats were their "zgorg enemies" because
they would not listen to didintiOn, and held the
South to the Constitutio The Abolitionists
did; not "hurt" the ey Were "right all

" What has Woodward done to put doWn the
rebellion ?" • - : .
EXERCISE
This question is asked by the Abolition Om. ,
We Anawer, imorf than Curtin, M'Clare,l M':
Michael, Forney, or Lincoln himself and his
whole Cabinet halie done.
In the first place he has furnished two sons
to the army, both of whom have distinguished
themselves in battle, and one of them, Lieut.
Col—Geo. A Woodward, has been wounded and
crippled for life, trying "to put down_ the re-,
bellten."
Can Curtin, of of his Vrinsigal support?,
ere, or Lincoln, oi any of his Cabinet, boast of
having done as 'Mich ? 7 4 et them answer.
Judge Woodward has. contributed hundreds
of dollars of money honestly earned, "to put
down the rebellion."
Hew le it with Vurtia 60 . 51, Lime% and the
brawling Abolitionists who support them and
stigmatize Judge Woodward and other temo
crate as " traitors?'"
Which of Mel - can come forward and pay,
truthfully, " I have done as much ?
Besides . . Judge Woodward supporin the Con
atitntion and .laws, under • and by virtue of
which alone can rebellion be succeisfally and
rightfully crushed ; and he opposes the fanati
cal doctrines and policy of rabid, radical Abo
litionism, without extinguishing which rebel
lion can-never' be suppressed.
In fact be has done all that an honest,
_faith
ful citizen and enlightened, patriotic states
man could do "to put down the rebellion ;"
while his traducers have been doing all they
could to reed its fires and keep it alive, that
they might. plunder and crow rich. •
No class of persons are so much interested
in the result of the election on Tuesday as the
POOR and LABORING MEN of Pennsylvania.
Upon them heavy burdens have fallen during
the pant' WQ years. The Dem:maths party al

What Democrats Want to Do
VOTE FOR WOODWARD.
'What lias Woodward Done?
POOR KEN.
Out of their own Mouths are they Cou
derailed.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, devoted to Abo
litionism and the cause of Lincoln and Curtin,
in July 1861, when the three months' men were
in rags, and everybody was incensed at the
Federal and State administrations for their
cruel neglect of brave men, published the fol
lowing editorial :
CAMERON VS, CURTIN.
Between two stools our three months' volun
teers seem quite likely to come to the ground.
They write to the Secretary of War to say. that
they are barefooted and more or less naked ;
that they would like to be able to leave their
tents in daylight without infringing the laws
of decency, etc. Mr. Cameron replies that the
United States cannot supply the three months'
volunteers with clothing, and refers them to
Governor Curtin. That functionary makes
answer : Fellow-citizens, have I not already
given you a complete outfit of shoddy and pine
shaving shoes ? If your shoes did not last
three days, reflect that my proteges have made
a handsome thing of it. If your trowsers have
dropped to rags, at once consider that my con
tractors could not make cent. per cent. and
furnish you with a respectable article. If your
clothes are not well lined, their pockets are.—
If you are not well shod, you are well shod
died—so be satisfied.
Our columns, a few days ago, contained a
most melancholy letter from Federal Hill ; and
its statements are supported by other informa
tion. Ws are told by a friend who has a rela
tive amongst the troops there, that his clothes
were in rags three days after being put on—
that he had eaten no meat, none fit to eat
having been served out.
A FEW WORDS MORE!
It is hardly worth while to say much more
as to the election to take place on Tuesday.
The time for argument is almost past. It may,
however, not be out of place to add this much.
For eixty years or more our country prospered
to an extent unequaled by any other country
in the world. The people of our country were
dwelling in the midst of,peace, plenty and hap.
piness. They were the envy and admiration
of the world. All the privileges and blessings
of a benign government were their portion and
heritage, our workshopi, mills and other places
of business resounded with the hum of indus
try. Everything that a people oould desire was
around them. All this was brought about
mainly under' the administiation of the Gov
ernment upon Democratic principles. All who
desire the Government to be restored to what
it was, who desire things to be as they were,
befortany of the troubles begun that now sup
roan!! the people, will vote with the Democratic
party on the coming Tuesday. The Democratic
party made the country what it was, led it for
ward in its career of prosperity, and under the
blessings of a benign Providence, will again
restore it, to confer upon millions yet unborn
the priceless boon of civil, religions and politi
cal liberty.—Norristown Register.
Hear What a Distinguished Rebol Says.
Col. John Forsythe, of the rebel army, , and
editor of the Mobile Register, says:
ct We want separation. Give us men like Vead
dew Stephens and Charles Sumner.
" THEY CURSE THE OLD UNION AND
DESPISE IT. SO DO WE.
"And we now promise these gentlemen that,
as they hate the Union and the , aeetersed .Con
stitution.' let them KEEP DOWN THE' DEMO
CRATIC PARTY IN THE NORTH,ond they
shall never be troubled by vs with . 'wok whi
ning abont:the Union and the Constitution as
they [the Democrats] are sending'up."
So writes the rebel, Forsythe—aid the Abo
litionists—the Shoddy Curtin men- - *are trying
to do what he advises—"keep dome' the Demo
crats, and atop all "whining abor the Consti
tution and union."it , '

Ten "years agg, the Abolitionists were a pow

ch‘ Old Whig add s Democratic parties, and were
s d r both regarded as enemies of the - Union.—
,
They were denounced without measure by

An Abolition Institution.
The Board of Military Claims at Harrisburg,
it is said, is being used for political purposes,
the same as the Canal Board was under the
Ritner administration. This institution costs
the State about nine thousand dollars per
annum. The board is composed as follows:
A. L. Russell, Salary, $2,790.
W. W. Irvin, " 2,790.
J. R. Muffi c, y, 1,200.
David Barnes, AL 1,000.
G. B. Anderson, it 900.
It is said any claim bill can be passed if the
claimant will promise to vote for Curtin—but
no Democrat 'donde any chance; the plea is at
once made that the claim is not now in order,
and even if passed would not be paid at the
Treasury, because there is no appropriation.
Bear in mind, tax-payers, that this board
costs the State in respect to salaries nearly as
much as the Auditor General's or the Treas
ury Department, and that it has had no duties to
perform since last winter, for the reason that
the $300,000 appropiation is about exhausted.
The claims now passed are purely for political
purposes to purchase up such chaps as Mac-
Dowell.
tax-pgyem, Democrats, will you vote
to keep in power nth corrupt men, snob plun
derers of your hard earned money as Curtin
and his crew ? If you desire to cleanse this

A SERIES OF DISASTERS AT HARPER'S
FERRY.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—On Monday •a party
of Captain Bean's cavalry were out. scouting
from Harper's Ferry, when they encountered
a number of Imboden's cavalry, dismounted
in a farm yard. A skirmish ensued, when our
cavalry, most of whom were boys, were re
pulsed, 'with the loss of one killed, three
wounded, and ten or twelve prisoners. Two
of the boys cut their way out and came back
to camp, though severely wounded. The next
di4- a small 'force of rebels" came in between
Charlestown, where a Union infantry force
is stationed, and Harper's Ferry, and actually
picketed the road within two miles of Harper's
Ferry.
On Wednesday night the garrison at Har
per's Ferry were alarmed by an attack, and
the cavalry 'and two regiments of infantry
started out to meet the enemy. Near Charles
town, a force of between three and four hun
dred, commanded by Gen. Imboden,' were
posted. The rebels had a large portion of their
force dismounted sad in ambuscade. Captain
Somers, with his company of cavalry, had ad
vanced to hunt up the enemy, when he met a
company of rebel cavalry, who charged upon
him, and were repulsed. They purposely re
treated, Somers and his company pursuing,
until they entered the fatal ambuscade.
. .
At the first fire Capt., Somers and ten men
were killed, as many more wounded, and nearly
all the others Captured. • The few who escaped
brought hi the information, and the rest of the
cavalry started in pursuit, but were unsuccess
ful in coming np with the rebels.
• Capt. Somers was one of the bravest and
best officers in that department. Both his
Lieutenants were captured. Imboden's main
camp is said to be several miles /mak from
Winchester. He has a force of about 600 men
under him, who make continual raids through
the Shenandoah valley.
THE PRESIDENT'S REPLY TO THE MIS
SOURI-KANSAS DELEGATtON.
WASHINGTON, Oct., 7.—The President has
completed his repTy' to the Missouri-Baneas
delegation, and the meneeeeipt is now in the
halide of the copyist, •azld *ill probably be
blinded to the Chairniaii, Mr DrakS to-mot.-
41r, ' The Kanns delegates presented a die.'
---
tinct address askingfirst, that the State be
made into a separate department; or, sec
ondly, that Gen. Schofield be removed, and a
General who better understands the require
ments of the department be substituted. To
the first proposition Mr. Lincoln is reported to
have i epliectthat he could see no objections to
making Kansas into a separate department,
provided there were no obstacles from a mili
tary point of view.
Several consultations have taken place upon
this and the other points between the President
and Secretary of War. Nothing is poeitively
known as to the conclusions arrived at by the
President, but those most interested incline to
the belief that Kansas will be made a separate
Department ; that General Schofield will not be
removed, but that orders wilt be issued direct
ing Gov. Gamble and his military coadjutor to
carry out some if not all the reforms asked for
by the Committee. In the course of the con
ferences with the Committee, the President
assured them that the election of Judges in.
Missouri in November should be protected.—
The delegates are therefore sanguine of suc
cess at the
CHAPLAINS RETURNED FROM REBEL-
