THE HAND-WHITING ON THE
WALL.
The nomination of Justice Woodward
for the chief magistracy of the State, was
a fortunate circumstance for the reputa
tion ot Pennsylvania. With a reputation
above suspicion, and ability beyond ques
tion, he stands the very embodiment of
the integrity and genius of our Democratic
system. With such a candidate at such a
time, we look upon defeat as being im.
possible. At such a time
stalks with brazen front even in our State
as well as our National Capital, we want
such a man for Governor as Justice Wood
ward. With him at the head of affairs
the people might rest secure, not only in
relation to his own integrity, but they might
also calculate upon having the dark deeds
o; others either exposed or punished. In
t-.mes like these, we should have a man to
govern us whose reputation for integrity
at least is not open for discussion ; in this
relation our candidate stands defiant.
Knowing the lofty character of Judge
Woodward,- the opposition to his election
1 •'.o: not ventured to assail it; ia this
1 -f h avG shown some tact, because of the
I.:rrib!e ordeal to which assault upon ours
. would subject their own candidate. In
tne absence of assault, however, upon the
personal character of Judge Woodward,
some of the Abolition organs are abso-
desperate in their efforts to damage
his political reputation. These efforts
are as contemptible as silly, and must only
tend to swell his msjority. “The hand
writing upon the wall" is plainly visible,
and hence the desperation of the Aboli
tiomsls to save their sinking cause.
Among the most shameless of the as
sailants of the Democratic candidate for
Dovetnor, is that moat infamous Hheet,
the Ptuladelphia Press. That paper joined
With the opponents of Governor Curtin’s
nomination, and hence Forney’s warfare
now upon'Judge Woodward. Having
given reasons why Curtin ought not to be
i:-c Abolition candidate, that' expert
Dimmer, and broker in contracts, must
■ow make amends by excessive zeal
■n behalf of his re election. But if the
Press imagines that persistent false
-ood, .n regard to Judge Woodward's
t out,cal record ia l.kely to assist its can
. !e it is terribly mistaken. The slang
u-oout “copperhead and sympathy wi h
treason” has grown nauseous, and will
produce no more effect this year, than
the stale cry “ Brtckenridge ” did last
-ae people are thoughtful; they have
aivon beneath the surface of such paltrv
stud as the Abolition press serves up to
them. They feel and see that their liber
ties are threatened by the encroachments
of those in power, and they are apprehen
sive that their own freedom may be lost
ia the name of giving liberty to another
ana inferior race. They see our armies
-ugmented by hundreds of thousands of
new conscripts, and that, too, while they
are told that the rebellion is crushed _
they are inquiring why this is so, and
tney receive no answer. They see the
anxiety ol the Southern peopla to return
to the Union, but our Administration
gives them no encouragement. They are
inquiring whether, indeed, it is the resto
rat.on ot the Union they are giving so
much to secure, or are their substance
and lives to be sacrificed in Abolition ex
periments. These and similar questions
are being asked and considered by the
thoughtful freemen of Pennsylvania, and
mily cry of traitor and Copperhead against
Jodge Woodward, will not divert their
attention from their profound cpnsidera

THE KENTUCKY DEMOCBACY
The Abolition papers out West affect to
misunderstand the exact result of the late
elect,on ,n Kentucky, but their dulness of
comprehension, in this particular, is easi
y accounted for. Because the Democrat
ic press denounce Burnside’s proclama
tion of martial law, and also the outrages
perpetrated in consequence of it. the)
Abolitionists can not conceive why Demo
cruts are satisfied with the political senti
ments ofthe victorious party. The Cin
cinnati Gazette, a rank Abolition paper,
in reply to the Louisville Journal, the
organ ot the Democratic Union party in
Kentucky, asked for information in the , M

refused to permit compliance with the or

when Col. Green sent off for a military
guard, consisting of a non-commissioned

Captain Lockwood, of Gen. Martinda'e's

when the soldier surrendered to him under
a sort of protest, on condition that the
capt. should be responsible for his (the
sentry) leaving his post. The soldier was
| taken to head- quarters, and by the inter
position of Lieutenant Holmes was for the
time released. He was, however, again
arrested, probably for leaving his post and ,
committed to the central guard-house. I

The Administrations Whip.
We take the following from the Hoston
Journal :
‘The Government has decided not to
| retain any officer in thearmy whose views
on the war policy is not in consonance
with his own. _ Cases still continue to be
reported for dismissal for the use of what
is termed disloyalty pr treasonable lan
guage.”
I Thus does the Administration snap its
wbip at the manhood of its officers. It
is as much wotße than the whip of the
plantation overseer as the manhood of
the white man is better than the bodv of
the negro If there be anything ahead
ot this in the refinement of despotism we
cannot conceive of it. It is enough to

That is what we mean by the ‘conserva
tives of the North.’ We hope the mean
ing is not obscure to the Gazette-, or, if it
is, we hope it will grow clear enough in
the course of the next twelve months.
1 Asto the Gazette's clap-trap interroga
tory, we believe the masses of the party
in Ohio that supports Mr. Vallandigham
for the Governorship agree in principle
with the Union party of Kentucky. Mr.
Vallandigham is notoriously the candidate
of the Ohio Democracy, not in consequence
of his peculiar views respecting the war
but in spite of those views. The single
and simple issue raised by his candidate
ship is the issue of the freedom of dis
cussion ; and as wo have just intimated,
wo believe the masses, who, notwithstand
ing his views concerning the war, support
mm on this issue, agree in principle with
the Union party of Kentucky, whilst dis
agreeing upon a very imporlant point with
Mr. Vallandigham, has no affiliation with
the party in Ohio who supports Mr.
Brough. We trust we have made our
selves intelligible even to the Gazette. '
WEITJJEL PHILLIPS ON THE
Over a year ago, before Phillips suc
ceeded in lashing the Administration into
the adoption of his schemes of emancipa
tion, he spoke as follows of the war and
its consequences: now that the speaker
has secured the “ bull against the comet,''
he is willing that the war should goon,
until the spirit of the first born Cain shall
reign in all bosoms, if it only gives free
dom to the Southern slaves. While thus
laboring for the enfranchisement of the
black, it will be seen that Phillips asserts
that the white citizens are fast becoming
slaves. Ha remarked:
“Neither will I remind you that debt
;a the fatal disease of republics, the first
•hing and the mightiest to undermine gov
ernment and corrupt the people. The
great debt of England has kept her back
in all progress at least a hundred years.
I will not touch, neither will I remind you
that when we go out of this war we go out
with an immense disbanded' army, an im
mense military spirit embodied in lwo
thirds of a million of solders, the fruitful,
the inevitable source of fresh debts and
new wars: I pass by that, and lying with
in these canseß are things enough to make
the moßt Banguine friends of free institu
tions tremble for our future. But I pass
those by. But let me remind you of anoth
er tendency of the time. You know, for
instance, that the writ of habeas corpus, by
which government is bound to render a
reason to the judiciary before it lays its
hands upon a citizen, has been called the
high-water mark of English liberty. The
present Napoleon, in his treatise on the
English constitution, calls it the germ ot
English institutions. Either say- that
free meetings like this, and a free press,
are the three elements which distinguish
liberty from despotism, and all the Sav-m
blood has gained in the battles aai tods
of two huudred years are these three
things. Now, to-day, Mr. Chairman, every
one of them —habeas corpus, the tight of
free meeting, and free press -is annihila
ted in every square mile of the Republic.
We live to day, every one of us, und-'r
martial law or mob law. The Secr-tarv
of .State puts into his Baslile, with a war 1
rant as irresponsible as that of Louis, auv j
man whom he pleases, and you know that
neither press nor lips may venter • u, ar
raign tint government' without being
Bilenc.-d. We are tending with raj-kl
strides —you may say inevitable; 1 don't
deny it, necessarily: I don't question it -
we are tending to that strong government
which frightened Jefferson; toward Oiv
unlimited debt, that, endless army we
have already those alien and sedition laws,
which in 17US wrecked the Federal piriyn
and summoned the democratic into i xist
euce. For the first time on the coniine-'
we have passports, which even Louis
Bonaparte pronounces useless and odious
for the first time in our history, govern
ment spies frequent onr great cities.”

New Vouk, Aug. 17.—The Herald’s
dispatch says: Affai.s remain quiet at the
front Picket firing has ceased entirely,
and both armies seem to have settled
down into a state of lethargy. There is
no large force of the enemy north of the
Rappahannock, though a sort of picket
one has been established from United
States Ford to Acqnia, via '■‘Hartwood
Church and Stafford Court House. This
line is very weak and offers little or no re
distance to onr scouting parties.
Most of the prisoners captured from the
enemy profeßs a desire to take the oath o
allegiance. They all express themselves
as being tired of war, and utterly discour
aged. The degree of distinction in the
rebel army exceeds that of any previous
period.
No information has been received indi
eating that tee has been reinforced to any
considerable extent. A few conscripts
and convalescents are arriving from time
to time, but it is not believed any portion
of the Southern army has joined the forces

Nm\ \ork, August 17.—A Tribune
special says : —An officer just returned
from Charleston confirms our previous
sta e ments . He says it is next to impos
sible to batter down Wagner; that the men
keep under bomb proofs upon which our
onlv eU < pro< T ac ® co efTect; that the
only way he fort can be carried is by di
rect assault, which will not at present be
attempted. The chances of knocking fort
Sumter to pieces are better. Indeed it
was generally believed there that that
tort will speedily fall. If ; t f a n s our for “
canno, occupy „ as it will be battered
