Read the speech of Judgo Black on
our first page. It is maguificcnt.
JS5 Dr. Pumpkin John, has a long
artiole, calling on everybody to come out
and vote on the Constitutional Amend
xnents, which arc not up to be voted on at
all. this fall. Tho simpleton will never
find it out however, unless fie goes up
into the back townshrps. Thov know
there what is to bo voted on, as ho will
find when the retarns come in,
execration oj all good citizens, llo may
take which horn of tho dilemma ho may
pleaso. Many voted for
Governor Curtin to avoid corruption,
AND THEY HAVE LINKED THEM
SELVES TO ROTTENNESS. If tho
interests of this country arc bound up
with the success of Republican principles,
as enunciated in tho Chicago Platform, as
Wo bclievo they are, it becomes tho party
to purge its ranks of THESE VILE MEN
and let the stigma of thir villiany rett on
them alono, and not on tho party. Away
with traitors and men who speculate on
"Life-Long Domocrats" Alias
Abolitionists.
Oortian persons now acting with tho
Abolition party, claim to havo boon Dcm
ocrats. It seems to bo their special mis
.sion tho particular partihey aro omploj-
cd to ploy to go afoout telling the people
that they wcro "life-long Democrats be
Iforcthop wero converted to Abolitionism
by "shoddy " and "Greenbacks." Tlieso
miserable fellows havo no shame in thus
publishing their apostacy from a life loog
political faith. They havo ceased to bo
Democrats just at a crisis when Democrat
ic principloo aro positively vital to tho
safety of tho country and the Government
just when it is,morc titan over patriotic,
wise, anil honorable to bo a Democrat.
Hence it is quite reasonablo to infer that
tlieso renegades, never wero Domocrats at
all in all their lives, or never knew what
Democracy really moans. The party they
have left is happily rTd of them, and tho
party they haya joined is heartily welcome
to them. They aro tlio very same kind of
cattle whom Jugurtha referred to when
speaking of the utter corruption of the
Roman people, ho exclaimed "Rome only
needs a purchaser !"
A Damning Record 1
Andrew G. Curtin has been Governor
of this Stato for noarly thrco yearsj and
besides pocketing himself, and squandering
upon his shoddy partizans, tho thousands
appropriated by the Legislature for the
benefit of her bravo soldiers, ho has actu
ally approved of acts, passed by an Abo
lition Legislature, which havo robbed tho
Stato of noarly TWENTY MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS. Look at it.

This talanted Stato Senator is gallantly
fulfilling tho pledge he gavo to tho Con
vention which placed in nomination for
the Governorship of Pennsylvania, his
worthy competitor, Judgo Woodward.
Sinco the canvass was fairly opened ho has
been almost continually upon the stump
addressing his fellows citizens in favor of
tho Demooratio Stato Ticket. Beginning j
with own county, on tho 4th of August,
ho has successively addressed the people
of Northampton, Cambria, Juniata, Jeffer
son, Clinton, Lycoming, and other coun
ties, at their respeotivo county seats ; and
everywhero his impassioned oloquence and
bold cnuncintion of facts have made a deep
improssion. Ho has other appointments
ahead, which will ocoupy all his time from
this until tho olection day ; so in caso in
quiries may be made for him at home, his
friends will understand that ho is by no
means idle, but is doing yeoman's scrvioo
for tho party in the Stato at largo.

Such, Tax-payers of Pennsylvania, is)
tho record furnished you of tho honesty
and integrity of Andrew G. Curtin, by tho

he not signally failed in his duty in pro
tecting tho interests of the Commonwealth?
And is he not unworthy of the suffrages of

Dear Sir: I havo been informod that
Hon. Lomuol Todd, who presided over
tho Convention which renominated Hon.
Androw G. Curtin, in addrossiug a ratlfi
oition meeting, hold recently in tliii coun
ty, stated that he had bocn informod that
a certain Judgo Hall said, that in a ro
cent conversation with liira, you had
ftvowcd.yourslf a believer in tho dootrino
of secession and in favor of an immodiato
recognition of the outh.
While I am fully satisfied that you
havo never held or avowed .thoso scnti
mouls, I deem it important that your
friends should havo authority to contra
dict tho stalomont. , Will you, thcrofore,
bo kind onough to inform mo whether you
ever hold suoh a conversation with Judgo
Hall ?

Bear Sir: Just returned from Eaaton,
whero I went to attend tho funeral of our
much lamented friend, tho Hon. Richard
Broadbcad, I find your favor of tho 18th,
informing mo ot a story wincn iur. xoua
produced at a public meeting after ob
taining it throucli a channel which h not
specified.
Thero is not a word of truth in tho
story. I know not judgo Hall, and can
not remember that 1 over knew a man of
that name.
So far from cvs avowing belief in se
cession or favoring recognition of Southern
Confederacy, 1 am, and alwa.ys huve been
opposed to both, and am in favor of sup
pressing the rebellion b) which both are
supported.
My life has been spent, thus far, in up
holding the Constitution of tho United
States as tho Fathers framed it tho
Union thoy formed and tho Constitution
and laws of tho Stato : and whatovcr of
life rcmaino to mo will bo devoted to tho
same ends, whether it bo spent in public
or privato life. JScilher secession nor the
malignant janaticism mat caused u wui
ever find an advocate in me.
Trusting that this is a sufficient answer
to tho calumny you allude to, I remain,

Abolition Liberality.' A poor young
man in Sullivan county, who was lately
oaught in tho "Conscription Trap," was
offered relief by an ''unconditional loyal"
abolition Doctor of Dushoro. Mr. Pilgar-
lick, helped tho poor man to 8300 in
Greenbacks, for whioh ho took an assign
ment of a good judgement ho held for
8100! Thus it is, that theso abolition
scoundrels, only want a chance to cheat a
poor soldier out of 8100 a pop !
Nota Bene. Pee John, of tho ''Smut
Machine,'' is about as patriotic as his abo
lition brother swindler of Sullivan and
equally tho friend of tho poor soldier.
When our men wcro drafted, Pee John
printed slips of their names and then sold
them atyit'c cents u pop I Abolition patri
otism forever.

I elapsed before my company was mustered

so far as I needed it, his co operation in

As Major of the 2d Pennsylvania Re

campaign, aud was wounded at Charles
City Cross Roads, in tho right foot and

tor lite was taken prisoner, confined m
the Libby Prison in Richmond, and, after
being parolled, was taken to my father's
house in Philadelphia, whero, for lour
weary months I was confined to my bed,
suffering intensely, but with that suffering
alleviated and bnully relieved, by not on
ly tho best medical skill, but also by the
constant, kind, unwearing attention of my
tathcr, mother and sisters. During all
that time, as indeed during my whole life,
no lather could bo moro kind, moro solic
itous for a son's welfare, than was mine.
Almost daily coavorsations occurred be
tween us, in which the war, and tho pres
ent and tuo luturo oi our country wore
discussed ; and, although ho freely crit
icised, and often condemned, tho manner
in which tlx war was managed by the Ad
ministration, never did he utter a senti
ment in sympathy with the doctrine of
secession, nor a syllable of approval of tho
courso taken by tho people of tho South j
and never did he say aught which was
not, calculated to encourage mo iu tho
performance of my duty as a soldier.
I havo been thus full, sir, in my refuta
tion of your slander, not because you need
or desorvo this kind of attention at my
hands, but becauso this refutation must bo
l made as nublio as was tho calumnv. and
took 1 1 desiro the nublio to havo the exact truth
in regard to this matter.
In conclusion, sir, I will remark that it
is poor encouragement lo our soldiers
iu tho field to find that whilo thoy aro
toiling and fighting for their country, ly
ing politicians at home aro using them as
tho instruments' of their partisan malice,
and such an instanco as this is n fair il
lustration of tho pretended lovo for sol
disrs whioh certain parties parade so con
stantly. That lovo must bo sincere in-
deed which, whilo it overlays tho soldier
with fulsome adulation, stabs to tho nuick
