Wilhin the last twenty years the Opposi

in the eflrot to invest for themselves some
rw and agreeable fancy appellation.

and now seek to commend themselves
to popular favor, and to impose on the pop
ular credulity, by the stigmatized title ot
"Abolition Party." It is-nol oor purpose to
find fault with the Opposition for arousing
themselves with these repealed changes o
party style or title. We readily admit that
t'lera is nothing sufficiently definite, or
, descriptive in the principles they profess,
f j make one name lor them more suitable
c r lasting lfcan another. Bat knowing (hat
the expression "Abolition Party" has not
beeu assure ed as an artfal trick, (for trick
. txe played out and they are obliged to wear
their tern name.) for purposes of imposi
tion, as in former days, we need not attract
.he attention of the public, by way of pre
caution, to any dishonest pretension. We
orhetisatingly aver that no one can point
lo a single Administration act within ihe
last thirty years, the present Administration
ir eluded, distinctly Opposition in its con
ception, that has ever been the least advan
tage to the. people of Pennsylvania. We
irean either State or National. The most
isloquent and hopeful member of the Abo
lilicri party will exhaust himself in denun
ciatory criticism of Democratic measures,
but he neither will, nor can, point to an
public act or measure distinguishing an
horesl and enlightened policy on the part
of the Opposition. One , of the marked
rails of tho Opposition is to indulge pro
fusely in the promises which ihey never
can perforin. The present Administration
bae made itt-elf notorious in that respect.
They have rot fulfilled one promise made
bf teem "They ingeniously construct cap
liviiting sentences eo as to convey some
wonhless promise in apparently truthful
language. They have deluded both capital
ists and laborer. They proclaimed their
real in favor of home or manofactoring in
dustry. They professed to be economists in
respect to": Government expenses and the
disbursement of Government revenues.
How well they have carried out their pro
fessions let the people decide at the ballot
bo.t the c ming election.

The address of the Chairman of the State
Central Committee, on our first page,-will
be found a remarkably able exposition ol
party principles and policy a sound, for.
cible and pertinent Ste.te paper, worthy of
the .Teat issues now presented before the
country. Let it be carefully read and ex
tensively circulated throughout the Com
monwealth. Irs wholesome and convinc
ing truih, the calm and carefal method of
its argument, ar well calculated to come
home to the minds of the people. It t!l
us that the time is now at hand when the
voice of the people will be heard; also that
the overthrow of the Abolitionisla at the
polls and the re establishment of Constitu
tional principles at the North, is the first,
the indisensible step towards the restora
tion of the Union and the vindication of civil
liberty. To this great service to his coun
try each citizen, mar contribute by his vote.
Read this adJreia and ponder well its arguments.
The Draft ic New York.
The New York Juries in giving th draft
figures in thut State, says: "These figures
prove that in districts that gave lare Deni-orra-ie
majorities the numter of men to be
dratted is double, and in some cases treb
ble, thai called for in Republican district
In th Twenty Seventh Conersssional Dis
trict, for example, the Republican majority
in 1862 was over 5,000, the toral vote caft
being 25,832, the number apportioned to
be drafted is 2.419. In the Fourth District
(Ben. Wood's) the total vote cast was 12,
836, ihe number of men to be drafted is
five thousand eight hundred and eighty one
or nearly fifty per cent in a Democratic dis
trict to ove' balance about ten per cent., in
a district most favored by Republicans."
Gov. Seymour has had these things right
ed in his State. The fraud attempted to be
practised upon Ihe citizens of his Slate was
too great to be passed by without some at
tention, whereupon the Governor of that
State addressed the President on the subject
and insistedhat the matter be rectified,
which was done, when all was satisfactory.

Ccrtia the Tool of Lincoln.
The faot that Andrew G Curtin stands
pledged to sustain the Federal Administra
tion in all its measures, is one among the
many sins with which he stands charged.
Pennsylvania will not have a Governor who
favors AbolitionismjConfiscation, emanripa
lion, Conscription, the suspension of hnleat
corpus, the suppression of freedom of speech
and of ihe press, the seizure, abduction and
imprisonment of citizens guilty of no of
fer.ee,' the substitution of drum-head court
martials for trials in Court, and the thous
and and one other crimes against liberty
and the Constitution of which the Federal
Administration has ben guilty. His sup
port ot President Lincoln in all the nefari
ous measures which have deluged the coun
try with blood and brought i: to the verge
of ruin, which bis supporters claim as a
virtue, meriting success, the people l.-ok
upon as a crime deserving not only defeat,
but execration.
His professed love for the soldier is the
merest clap-trap of demagogiMn, and none
but a low demagogue would reort to it as a
plea for support. Had he done only his
duty towards the Pennsylvania soldiers,
they would not have mffered half they have
done, and they know it. This plea will
not avail; and if none better founded can
be urged in bis behalf, he micht as well
withdraw from the contest at once.
Govxrkmcnt Robbkht Last year a man
named La'shaw commenced "serving the
Government" as a Quartermaster at Louis
ville, buying mules and horses, ani so on.
He was then in comfortable circumstances.
Now he keeps nine splendid steeds, with
magnificent outfits, and lives in a style of
the most lavish expenditure. Latshaw has
been arrested and an investigation ordered,
but at the best the Government will lose
over 8175,000. Is this the only case ? No!
in nearly every department like robbery and
swindling are going" on ! The Government
is being cheated out of more money daily
than wood defray the expenses of it per day
in ordinary limes. There is where the se
cret lies with these Government robbers;
continue the war and you keep open the
chances for defrauding the Government.
The moment the war ceases their specula
tion is all over. As a general thing these
are the men who cry war, no compromise,
but a vigorous prosecution cf the rebellion.
They also favor confiscation,(that is in their
line; emancipation, conscription and taxa
tion. Any scheme that is calculated to
prolong the rebellion they will endorse and
swear to it as the only measure by which
tbirt war may be brought to a speedy termi
tion. V, Peraoeratfc Seelinj in Bearer.
The Democracy of Beaver twonship Col
umbia county, met in Mass Meeting, at
Franklin L Shuman's, on Saturday, the 22d
iast. The meeting we understand was a
spirited one, and largely attended for that
section of the county. An address was de
livered by Col. L. L. Tate. The township
of Beaver is as Democratic as usual, and
will do her duty this Fall. They are intel
ligent and well-informed people read the
Star or the North and the Columbia Demo
crat. This is one of the back townships in
which Dr. John's paper receives but little
favor. Republican and Abolitionism can
get no support in those strong Democratic
districts.
Oua Partt. The Weeling, Va., Register
says : " 'Oar party,' sayg a Union exchange,

The Two Candidates.
George W.' Woodvard and Andrew G.
Curtii; are the candidates respectively of
the Democratic and Abolition parties for
the Chief Magistracy of ihe Commonwealth
It will be well in the interval between
this and the 13ih day of Ocober to study
the capacity and character of these opp os
ing candidates, and the political principles
by which they are respectively guided and
governed. -
Woodward is a Democrat Curtin is a
Republican. ot the blackest dye, an Aboli
tionist in fact, cherishing all the fatal here
sies of that fanatical and bloody-minded
sect. Woodward, being a Democrat, is na
tional in his views he respects the Con
stitution as a compromise made by our
forefathers for the protection of all interests
and the preservation of all rights, individu
al as well as State.
What Horatio Seymour is to New York,
George Wr. Woodward is to Pennsylvania
What Wadswotth would have been to
New York, Curtin is to Pennsylvania.
The isue is plain. The platform of the
Democracy is timply the Constitution as it
is, the Union as H was. Thi is Wood
ward's platform.- Ciirtin'a platform is a
Constitution constructed lo suit the views of
such fanatics a Greeley, Philips,' Suraner.
Wade & Co., changing the whole charac
ter of the Government by confiding to one
man the powers which the Constitution ju
diciously distributes to three departments.
This Idea Curtin pledges himself to main
tain. He bows to the National Adminis
tration as a setter dog crouches beneath tlie
whip of the trainer, and promises to lo as
he is bidden .
And what he will be bidden to do we
know. He must sustain and maintain by
all the authority wiih which he h clothed
as Chief Magistrate, whatever violations of
the Consiitu ion Mr. Lincoln chooes to
commit in carrying cut the p-.-licy of the
Abolition party.
And this policy what isitl A radical
change from the present an overthrow ol
the domestic institutions cf one sect on cf
our coantrj , and a material change in the
whole structure of goverMTient.
And this at a time when a proper regard
to the requirements of the Ccnotitntion
mi,h! sae the nation, by carrying u back
to where we were hclore the accession of
ihii Abolition party to power.
This is the faaM to which Andrew G Cur
tin invites u. A death banquet to the na-
lion. He stands pldj:ed to sacrifice ;he j
Constitutional righvs ot his fellow ci izns. '
and to build up a concentrated Feoeril des- j
potism that will be more ii.toterubio than i
that of Berlin or St. Peterbur.
To all this latter-day exsravagamre and
folly to ait these ideas of negro emancipa
tion and white slavery George W. Wood
ward is opposed, and if the people of Penn
sylvania desire to end their d-s under the
liberal Government bequeathed to them by
their forefathers the men of the devolu
tion and of 1798 -they must elect him and
defeat Andrew G. Curtin.
Troops at Elections.
By the 90tb section of the Act of Assem
bly of the State of Pennsylvania of ild July,
1839, it i enacted that
"NO BODY OF TROOPS IN THE AR
; MY OF THK UNITED STATES, OR OF
THIS COMMONWEALTH. SHALL BE
S PRESENT, Ell HER ARMED OR UN
HARMED, AT ANY PLACE OF ELEC
! "HON WITHIN THISCOMMONWEALTH
"1URING THE TIME OF SUCH ELEC
TION." In order that no excuse for want of time
may be alleged, we now thus early in ad
vance call on Governor Curtin that be sees
to the execution of this law in letter and
spirit, at the October elections. We de
mand, in the name of the Democracy and a
State already outraged and insulted :y a de
nial of our State authority and a suppres
sion of its dignity, ihe rigid execution of
this law. All troops must be absent from
places ol election in this Slate on the 13th
of October next, or the Democracy will see,
if the Governor dare not, that the laws of
our Commonwealth are not trampeliid down
at the Federal behest. It had better be un
derstood thus early in the day that the farce
of the Kentucky electians cannot bi repeat
ed in Pennsylvania that we are determin
ed to have a Iree, fair end honest election,
according to the laws of our own State
and if ihe Federal satrap who now rules
this Province of the - National Government
fails to do hi duty in the matter, an out
aged people will supply the remedy.
Tbs New York Tribum, replies to a cor
respondent who proposes to raise i fund to
circulate among the Irish citizens of ihe
country, O'Connell's letter on slavery to the
Cincinnati Irish Repeat Association:
"We do not know thst what he proposes
would do much good. The most pro-slavery
and disloyal portion of our foreign
born population either cannot read at all,
or actually read very little. : If,
now, it were possible to raise the inhabi
tants of Mackerelville and kindre 1 locali
ties to O Connell's moral altitude, the diffu
sion of his letter on slavery would do great
good : otherwise, not."
The "inhabitants of Mackerelville" is a
figure of speech lor Irish citizens in gener
al, who, we are told, can neither read nor
understand the productions of tte great
demagogue. The Tribune treats with con
tempt the proposition of its correspondent
on these grounds. The Conscription Law
and the three hundred dollar clause and the
Loyal League, and the Abolitionists gener
ally take the same view of the subject. II
0!Connell erred, as many gocd men across
the sea are apt to err in not thoroughly un
derstanding our policy, he certainly was no
friend of military gag-law and ihe proscrip
tion of the poor man, which are the prime
virtues of Abolition rule ; neither did he
discredit the intelligence of his countrymen,
nor believe they could r.ot attain n "moral
altitude" sufficient to make them fit to be
free and unworthy tof oppression.'

The Army Vote.
A vast amount of nonsense and humbug
has been published lately by the Abolition
press upon thU subject. The state of the
case is just this. A case of Chase & Miller
was brought before the court, of Luzerne
county in the fall of 1861, to ascertain
whether by the amended Constitution of
this State, an election could be held and
a vote taken for District Attorney outside of
ihe Common we ilt h. ..After a decision was
made by ihe Judge at Wilkesbarre, the
cane was taken to the Supreme Court, and
was decided there ir. May, 1862, and is re
ported in 5th Wright, p. 403. It is there
decided that, as the amended Constitution
requires that every voter shall have "resided
in the State one year, and in the election district
where he (ffert to vote, ten doys immediately
preceding such election;" and the Legislature,
even if they had intended it, had not the
right to authorize an election outside of ihe
Slate or district.
In deciding this constitutional question,
Jiftge Woodward delivered ihe opinion of
the Court, and every Judge on the bench,
except Thompson, concurred in the opinion;
even Judge Read, who was nominated and
elected by the Abolitionists, concurred in
it. Does any sensible or honest man be
lieve that the Judges of the Supreme Court
are governed in their decisions by their
prejudices or passions. Suppose Jade
Read had delivered the opinion ; and sup
pose he was now a candidate lor Governor,
what would the Abolitionists say then ?
But Judge Read not only concurred in
this view of ihe law, but the last Legislature
concurred in it, for the Legislature (the
Senate having a strong Abolition mcjoriiy)

Gov. Cuktin has failed to make an effici
ent Chief Magistrate of Pennsylvania. He
allowed the State to be deprived of 5300,
000 annually by signing the b.ll for the
Repeal ot the Tonnage Tax, and he has
failed to protect the people ot the State in
their persons, by allowing several ol the
citizens of the Slate to be arbitrarily arrett
ed and transported beyond ihe limits ot the
State, without interfering to redress their
wrongs. Gov. Curtin has no claims upon
the people for re election.
Two Negroes who had deserted from
military service, in Massachusetts, were
arretted a few days since. As the guard
were taking them down to the wharf in
Boston, heavily handcuff 'd. on the way to
Fort Warren, one of it em held up his man
acled hacds and excUimed, "Dis am Mas
en Linkuuvs Proclamation." The effect
can te tetter imagined than described.
McClellan's Report. Gen. McCle'lan
has not only transmitted his report to the
War Department, but also accompanied it
with an urgent request that, if the Depart
ment decline the trouble and expense of
its publication, he should be allowed to
publish it himself at hi own cost. Wheth
er tha Administration will grant him even
this privilege is very uncertain.
A Democratic Gain The Democrats
have jtist gained a member of Congress in
Missouri. IntheThird District, which was
represented by Mr. Noel!, Republican, an
election has just been held to fill ihe va
cancy caused by Mr. Noell's dea'.h, and
has resulted in the triumph of John G. Scott,
Democrat, by a handsome majority. The
New York Tribune blames the Administra
tion for permitting his election.
