Mr. E.gham 8 reply to .. An Qld Line

bnt an evasion ; the writer does not even
attempt to prove wherein the articles of

dishonesty, are incorrect. Mr. Bigham

A FUGITIVE SLA VE LAW FOB
WHITE MEN.
The moat shameless proceeding npo u
• h ?K Pan °I fnBnds °‘ Gover »or Curtin,
is their effort to secure snpport for him
from naturalized citizens. Their reason
for this is a speech alleged to have been
delivered by Judge Woodward, twenty-five
years ago, in which he advocated a change
m our laws of naturalization. Now, nl
lowing the speech allnded to to be genu
lae, what does it amount to ? Judge
Woodward did n°t propoBe t 0 interf( £
with the rights of any one then residing in
the country ; the proposition attributed to
him was ,n relation to foreigners who
might, after a certain date, arrive in and
sack to become citizens of our State—
Whether it is better to let foreigners vote,
as they do in some States, after one year’s
residence, or after five years, as is the law
with us ; or whether it would be better to
extend the term to ten or fifteen years, or
more, are questions about which men msy
differ with propriety. One thing is cet
tain, a change in the law could not inter
fere.with the rights ot those who are al
ready m But, allowing that Judge I
Woodward, at the time referred tn j-j!
tion law, what was that compared to the
tdrlwG o' 6 Kn ° W - of which !
Andrew G. Curtin was a shining member.
Did George W. Woodward ever crawl
through the dark cellars of Know-Nothing
lodges, and take an oath to not only dis 1
ranehise all foreigners for all time to l
' C ° me ’ bQt *° Proscribe men of revolution- i
7the n r^-’ bOrnDPOD th 6 80iI - b6cause
of their rehgmus convictions? Andrew
: c C “ r ,n dld the deseendents
of Charles Carrol, ofCarrollton-a signer
of the Declaration of Independence-now
a Pennsylvania, Andrew G. Curtin would
be compelled to proscribe them because
of their religious convictions, or lay
perjury upon his soul. In the face of
these notorious facts, is it not monstrous
to hear those venomous Know-Noth
;ng Abolitionists prate about their
affection for the naturalized citizen.
Such baseness is simply insulting to the
common undesrtan ding of the people who
are expected.to be affected by it. '
But our present purpose is to direct
attention to the fact, that while the Abo
itiouists of the Pennsylvania Legislature,
last year, were voting the hall of the
House of Representatives to Wendell
mips, to spout negro equality in, they
were at the same time endeavoring to pass
a fugitive slave law for the capture of
white mem On the eleventh day of April
last, Mr. W. P. Smith an Abolition mem
ber from the Germantown district of-onr
State, introduced a bill to incorporate a
company for the importation of white la
borers from Europe. The company was
to pay the passage of these people and
have control of them after their arrival
until they had worked out the passage
money with interest. The design of it
remarks the Philadelphia Age “was to
bring over multitudes ofpoor people, con
trol their labor, pay them starvation
wages, and, by charging an .exorbitant
biil ; of expenses .for their transportation,
ieepthem in servitude for years. -Jt waa
expected, of course, that poor men from
Ireland and Germany, and other foreign
lands, would weary of this oppression, and
seek relief from it in flight But Mr. Wm.
-j.V ' v’v^’^s'.

Sadbkow reads the administration pa
pers closely— to find ont, as he says, the
true principles of government. In one
of these he fonnd a biographical notice of
Judge Ag.yew, who is the Republican can
didate for Supreme Jndge. It seems to
[ have been copied, he says, from the fami
ly record of the Judge, and is very flatter
ing to him, showing that he had a grand
father. It also show ß that he is, or has a
Slight connection with Mr. Jefferson Da
now of Richmond, Va. This pleases
Sadbeow very much, for just now he is a
great abolitionist, and he says that all ab
olitionists like secessionists better than
they do Democrats, who he sneeringly
calls doughfaces" and “Union savers."
He will vote for Judge Agnew on this
ground ol his kinship to J. Davis, even if
he had never supported negro suffrage.—
He taunts me about Judge Dowrie, whom
he says has no relatives in Dixie, and has
committed himself against letting the ne
gro vote in Pennsylvania
NTGGEB in tee wood pile.
At a Republican Mass meeting in Man
cheater on Saturday evening resolution
were offered; by Jasper E. Brady, Esq
of the ordinary character, denouncing cop
deploring the election of
Judges Woodward and Lowrie “as a pub
lic calamity fearful to contemplate,” but
neve, a word about Curtin. This was not
to be borne in silence; whereupon John
B. Kennedy one of the proprietors of the
Commercial” offered the following 0 n
hirown hook :
Resolved .That in Andrew G. Curtin
our candidate for Governor, we have an’
experienced Executive, a truly loyal and
patriotic man, and a consistent and unwa
vering friend of the soldier. .

Resolved, That m all the essential ele
< character which are requisite in
the Chief Executive of a free people A
G. Curtin is immeasurably the superior
of his competitor, Judge Woodward.
These resolutions were tendered the
Gazette but did not appear. But the pub

Brady the following growl in the Gazette:

the contrary he was welcomed by them
vant ” W ] ° De g °° d aDd faithfal
vant, and rewarded for his conduct by a
re-nomination, Yes, the violators of the
ugi ive a ave law, applicable to runaway j
s aves, were quite delighted with a similar
statute intended for white men. This
Smith, the author of the bill in question,
was and is a leading friend of Curtin, and
the reader may therefore infer their extent
of sympathy with the poor Irishman or
German. The elevation of the negro and
the degradation of the foreigner has been
the wish of the Know-Nothing, Abolition
party since its organization. Could they
disfranchise every man of foreign birth,
who will not vote their ticket, they
would do it, and at the same moment they
would bestow the right of suffrage upon
every runaway slave that entered the
State. These are the men who impudent
ly ask naturalized citizens to vote for Gov.
Curtin; but they appeal in vain. The
naturalized citizen knows too well where
he will have to look whenever his rights
are assailed by faction; it is to that gallant
old constitutional party which has defend
ed him in days gone by, and whose mission
is to protect us all in the enjoyment of a:
oar rights aad privileges.
FIGB AND THISTLES
Prom Sadbrow’s Lot,
i My friend Sadbrow i s a ruminating
. creature. He fancies he is thoughtful, and
that he thinks deeply. But Sadbrow on
ly ruminates. He thinks the Income Tax
ought to be collected, and collected jioic.
He says the Government wants money—
that it is borrowing money of the Banks,
and some of them Banks are making wry
faces about loaning money. Therefore,
the Bapient Sadbrow considers that the
most paternal of governments should not
be compelled to borrow, when the Income
Taxis, or ought to be, all assessed, and
was to have been collected in September
He can’t see why the collection is to be
| put off till late in October, unless it is be
cause the election in Pennsylvania and
Ohio takes place in October. This itinocent
or cynical person thinks it can make no
difference to the people whether they pay
in September or in October—“ For,” said
he, with determination—“they must pay
it let them pay it now and save Mr,
Ohase interest,”

In this morning’s Post I am addressed
by name and asked to respond :
“Do you or do you not, believe the ar
ticles said to have been written by the
Hon. Thomas Williams, from July 30th to
August 6tb, 1863, in the Pittsburgh Ga
zette, charging Gov. A. Gregg Curtin with
dishonesty ? Are they true ? If not
wherein they are false. ’

think the Govenor would have made a
tool of himself, after his own political
fnemls passing this Bill, if he had vetoed
i . t j°it la ll ? e house against the Bill,
but had I been in the Govenor’s place 1
would have signed it promptly.
7V n' <i r Thaa PP° intmeEt and report of

up, to some extent, the tonnage tax ones
t.on of 1861. The report of that CoS
tee did not reflect on Gov. Cnrtin—in fact
entirely exculpated him of all censnre in
regard to tue tonnage tax question. Ido
not think it any great stretch to say that
when Col. Hopkins and Kaine could find
nothing to censure that I entirely concur
red with them.
Fourth—The report of the Committee
on Military expenditures in 1801, made to
the House in 180:1, not only relieves Gov.
Cnrtin of all eenanre, bat commended his
vigilance, energy and fidelity to the State
and the Lmon. In all this I fully con
curred and now add that I heard Secre-

that I have known Gov. Curtin for fully
twenty five years-that I have never
known him to be guilty of a dishonorable
or dishonest act—that I have found him a
gentleman in all the relations of social,
political and official life.
I have no disposition to enter into any
personal controversy with the authors or
publishers of the charges against Gov.
Curtin. Ido not believe any one of them
in the sense in which they are charged.
