CARLISLE, Sept. 18, 1363
Hon GEO. W. WOODWARD:
Dear ,Sir: —I have been informed that
Hon. Lemuel Todd, who presided over the
•Convention which re nominated Hon. An
drew G. Curtin, in addressing a ratifica
tion meeting, held recently in this coudty,
stated that he had been informed that a
certain Judge Hall said, that in a recent
conversation with Lim, you had avow
ed yourself a believer in the doctrine of
secession, and in favor of an immediate
recognition of the South.
While I am fui:y satieiled that you have
never held or avowed those sentiments, I.
deem it important that your friends should
have authority to contradict the statement.
Will you, therefore, be kind enough to in
form me whether you ever held such a
conversation with Judge Hall?
Very respectfully,
RUFUS E. SHAPLEY,
Chairman of Democratic Standing Com•
mittee of Cumberland County.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21, 18G3.
Fivers E. SHAPLEY, E, - 1.:
Dear Sir :—Just returned from Easton,
where I went to attend the funeral of our
much lamented friend, the Hon. Richard
I.lrutlhead, I find your favor of the' ItiL,
informing me of a story which Mr. Todd
produced at a public meeting, after obtain•
log it through a channel which is not spe
cified.
There i 3 not a word of truth in the story.
I know no Judge Hall, and cannot re
member that I ever knew a man of that
SO FAR FROM. EVER AVOWING
BELIEF IN SECESSION OR FAVOR
ING RECOGNITLiN OF THE SOUTH
ERN CONFEDERACY, I AM, AND
ALWAYS HAVE BEEN OPPOSED TO
BOTH, AND AM IN FAVOR OF SUP
PRESSING THE REBELLION BY
WHICH BOTH ARE SUPPORTED.
My lite has been spent, thus far, in up•
holding the Constitution of the United
States as the Fathers framed it—the Union
they formed—and the Constitution and
laws of the State ; and whatever of life
remains to me will be devoted to the same
ends whether it be spent in public or pri
vate station. NEITHER SECESSION
NOR THE MALIG NANT FANATICISM
THAT CAUSED IT WILL EVER FIND
AN ADVOCATE IN ME.
Trusting that this is a sufficient answer
to the calumny you allude to, I remain,
dear air, Very truly, yours,
GEO. W. WOODWARD
TO NATURALIZED CITIZENS AND
THOSE WHO HOPE TO BECOME SO.
Judge WOODWARD, the Democratic can•
diclrte for Governor, ha; been charged by
his enemies with a desire to extend the
legal period in which a foreigner can be
come a citizen, and with general hostility
to naturalized citizens.
HERE Is TUE REFrTATION: the following
let' er wag received on Saturday last by a
gentleman of this city :
ILADELPLII/ Fept. 24th, 1863
Dear Si You ask me, "Are you in favor of
extending the period of naturalization beyond
the present legal term of five years ?"
I answer—l am not. I would not extend it one
hour beyond the period now fixed by law. Yoa
reay.male what WM of year queition and answer
that ycu please. Very tru'r yourF.
Ceo. W, WIODNVA RD.
That, we think, is concise and conclusive.
Nothing more can be desired on that
point. But let ns see how the Harrisburg
" jobber," that is too corrupt for STANTON
to associate with—let us see how he stands
about the naturalization question :
In 1853, he swore solemnly: "I WILL NOT
VOTE nor give my influence for any man
for ANY office IN THE GIFT OF THE PEO
PLE, UNLESS HE BE AN AMERICAN BORN
CITIZEN IN FAVOR. OF AMERICANS R•%LINO
AMERICA, NOR IF HE BE A ROMAN CATIIO.
LIC."
The Know.Nothlng party, into which
Mr. Crwrix thus swore himself, is now dead
in name. hut not in fact—they elected Mr.
POLLOCK Governor, and Mr. CURTIN was
made his Secretary. Now REMEMBER that
Mr. CURTIN HAS NOT RETRACTED
ONE SYLLABLE OF. 't'dAT OATH
HE ADHERES TO EVERY WORi) 01 , IT TO THIS
HOUR! •
CURTIN also swore, at the same time,
that if elected to office ha would " RE
MOVE ALL FOREIGNERS, ALIENS, or
ROMAN CATHOLICS from
_OFFICE or
PLACE."
This oath he has promised to keep for
ever " SACRED AND INVIOLATE!" He has
not renounced one letter of it to this day.
We leave the matter with naturalized
citazenti.
WHAT IS THE TB UE SUII
We say, there ie evidence that the Na
tional war debt is
$3,003,000,003
On the Ist of July $1,200 000,000ot this
were audited and settled, and no one can be
lieve that half the debts have been adjust
ed—certainly no one who has a claim at
Washington can believe that half the
claims are reached.
But the Commercial says that our esti
mate of $500,000,000 for Pennsylvania is
WO much—though this is one sixth of the
whole, and Mr. LINCOLN has fired our
State's quota at ONE - SIXTH. Now, sup
posing that our State has to pay at the
same rate in money, as she has had to do
in men—to wit, one sixth—and if Alleghe
ny county has to pay in proportion to her
population, her share of the debt will be
one sixleenth or
830,741,64 / ! !!
But the Commercial says that we made
an error of sl67,ooo,ooo,—therefore our
sum should be $333,000,000, and not fire
hundred millions,—then,•our figures, cor
rected by the Commercial, would make our
county war debt about $20,510,00 0 ! !
Well, surely, that is suffi7ient. Twenty
one millions is enough. Bat the Dispatch
says that Pennsylvania's share of the deb
is but $200,0W,000, as yet—one sixteenth
of this would be $l2. 500,000 -that is
what the Dispatch would make our coun
y'a share
Now, we contend, t while believing fully
that our count is correct) that either of
the two last sums is large eucugh. It
would be oppressive even if the Rebels
could finally be made to pay their share—
say one third of the whole.
We should like to see our aboliiiou co•
temporaries agree about the amount of
this debt. To them, and to their frieud.r,
A. G. CcaTne and others, who are guilty
of spending the people's money-10 or 20
millions may make no difference—but
to the tax payers of the comity, it is
another matter. They want to know ex
actly what they are liable f- , r —but the .f
finials at Harrisburg or W as hington w ill
never tell them.
THE RADICALS STILL A irrum.
MEMICE
There seems to be no end to the mall
cious persecution of Gen. McCI.F.I As, by
his Abolition assailants They stop at no
meanness that is calculated to damage him
in public estimation. The War Depart
meat will not publish the report of his
battles in Virginia, nor a.ii it permit him -
to issue it, at his own t ; but the
most contemptible per...:-.11 %nee, and in
conceivably mean act that has yet E1113 , .11
ted from that quarter, is its late order to
the army of Gen. Mx...ox, preventing
contemplated compliment to Gen. Mc
CLELIAN. The officers and privates of the
army, desirous of testifying their regard
for their old commander, were preparing
to do so ; Gen. MEJDE headed the li
with a subscription of twenty dollars, but
down came an order from the War De
partment vetoing the whole proceeding.
What possible excuse can be offered for
such unheard of meanness ? Here is a
young officer, against whom the entire
power of the Administration has been di
reefed for a year, endeavoring to blacken
his reputation iu the estiumtion t
his old associates in arms , they have tail
ed to make the army forget its favorite, and
hence the War Department's present bee ,
nests. This act of LlAid.EAti; and STINTW: trl
prompted by sheer malice ; it can be no
thing else, because they did not prevent
the presentation of a sword to Gen. M E. 1 1 ,1.:
a few days since, and that, too, not by the
army of the Potomac, but by a set of
drunken, Abolition politicians from l'enn•
eylvania..
But mark the course of the Administra
tion with regard to Gen. RosucaANs, com
pared with their proceedings regarding
Gen. McCLEta.s. - y, under very similar c;r
cumstances. The first was beaten by
bisect:, a General of small reputation,
leading an army which was considered de
moralized. Our army was a veteran one,
and yet, no sooner does our western
General cry out for reinforcements than
they are promptly forwarded. .Bow was
it with Gen. MuCLEI.I.A.N, fighting against
odds led by such Generals as LEE and
STONEWALL. JACESON. He was not only
refused reinforcements, but the War
Department has from that moment
until the present labored incessantly to
blacken his military reputation and to
throw suspicion upon his loyalty. The
reasons for these proceedings are pAlpa
ble enbugh. MCCLELLAN would not bow
to the idol, Abolitionism, and agree to
convert a war tor the Union into one for
negro emancipation, while Gen. Host:
CRANE was wary and pliable, and seeing the
road to military promotion, eagerly echoes
the sentiments of the radical contro lers
at Washington. Geu. ROSECRANS, besides
being a good soldier, does not appear
to be indifferent to passing events in
Washington. 'He has, like BEN BCTLEIi,
kept pleasant pace to the music of those
who control the Administration. There
is nothing in the army or out of it, like oue
keeping his eye upon the main chance.
?HE Li ISPAT(111
There was a very foolish article in the
Dispatch, yesterday morning, about the
War Tax. The article we reprinted, yes
terday, corrected from the previous day,
is an answer to all. the Dispatch has to
say or ever can have to say. We do wish
some of the Administration organs that
are spending the proceeds of the TAN: so
cheerfully, would make a decent effort to
answer our statements.

DEATH OF FRANCIS J. DRUND
The Commercial Printing Company,
under its pr .sent management has already
secured fur its,ll the designation of scav•
eager for the Abolition party. The chief
editor of that establishment has already
had the lie thrust down his throat by
young WOODWARD, for a slander uttered
upon his father ; but that did not deter
the Commercial from publishing the fol
lowing fals-hood in yesterday's paper
"The death of Mr GEtUNI , . from Viplenc3 cr
friglA shows bow d , sperate the followers of
WoorwAnn, are becoming. Our special telegram
is the only infJrmatim we hare, an wo elnnot

Notwithstanding this annonucement,
the Commercial—as did all the morning
papers yesterday—contain the following

Spverd officers belonging to the garrison
Fort Moultrie, who had gone out
yachting, went ashore at some point in
he bay, leaving their yncht in charge of
these seven soldiers, two cf whom acted
as guard. As soon as the shore party
were far enough away to make the at•

with the fact that the navy had not fired a

THE , ENIONTOWN MEETING
The Mass ineeticg of D.mo - erats at
niontown, en Wednesday last, was by
ar the meat striking demonstration Over
held in Pennsylvania, outside of Phila
dolphin: le was absolutelp•astonnding,
both in cumbers and enthusiasm. There
were the honest, hard•Geted yeomanry of
the counties of Fayette, Green and Wash
ington, called after some of the men who
planted the standard of virtue, liberty and
independet4—men who gave us an inc3a-
parable Constitution under which a mag
nificent Republic was reared and eqabliali
ed. To preserve these from the grasp of
infuriated fanatics, Wll3 and is the purpose
of the thousands who assembled at Union
town, and in this good and glorious enter
prize we promise them co-operation and
support.
The multitude was elcquently and ef
fectively addressed by Ex-Governor BIG
LER, HOD. HEISTER CLYNIER, CHARLES J.
INGeesom., Esq BARE?, of Allegheny,
and several other speakers of note. The
following is an extract from Gov. Ble
u:it's speech, drawing a distinction be
tween the government and the adminis
tration of it:
Bat it is said that we are all traitors,
because of cur complifints against the
Administration. Even Gen. B. F. But
ler, a paragon of virtue and patriotism.
has said this, arid more : he says we can
not divorce the Government and the Ad
ministration. But Mr. Butler is mistaken.
We can divorce Mr. Lincoln from the
Government, through the bollot, and we
intend to do so at the earliest day the Con
stitution will permit ; for the sooner he
and the Government be divorced, the bet
, ter for the country, the better for the
Union, and the better for the liberty of
white men. (Great applause.) They
never would have been wedded had it been
suspected by the people that the c tfspring
would have been such monsters as now
fll et the nation. (Cheers.)
Tee Administration and the Govern
ment one and the same I Hew preposter
ous ! The Government is constituted by
permanent forms of law under which cer•
tain things are required to be done the
Administration is eompcsed of the men
selected to do these things, for a limited
period. The duties of these men are
largely ministerial, accompanied, never
tieless, with that measure of discretion
which enables good men to do a great
deal for thei. country, and bad men to do
a great deal against it,
It is the duty of the Presidr nt, under the
forms of the Government, to make ap
pointments. If he make bad appoint
ments, instead of good once, and we coo
demo his selections, that complaint, ac
mirding to Mr. Butler, is a '•disloyal pref.
ce !" By virtue of the Constitution, the
President is Commander-in Chief of the
al my, and has the right to select field
commanders. Now, gentlemen, when in
the exercise of his discretion, he removes
a competent commander, like McClellan,
eppoii ts an me, rnpirtent one like
Pepe, is it to be said that we are traitors
to that part of the Constitution which an
thorizSe him to make appointment , . be
cause we complain of hie unwise exercise
of that power ? Suppose he should ap
point an enemy of the country, are we to
approve the act 7 The Constitution re
quires him to approve or disapprove hills
passed by both branches of Congress. Sup
pose in his dkcreteon, he approves a bad
and an unconstitutional measure, and ve
toes a good one ; and I condemn the act,
is it to be held that I um therefore against
that part of the Constitution which re
qc fres him to approve or disapprove bills 7
suggestion is preposterous. It is his
imperative duty to execute the laws ; but
instead of that. he break them, surely 1
am not a traitor kir condemntng his cm,
duct. The Constitution makes it his
duty to inform Congress of the striae
of the Union, rec. Suppose he re
commends to Congress the adoption of
"compensated emancipation... and I de
nounce the measure as unconstitutional
and inexpedient, is it. to be maintained that
I am, therefore, unfaithful to that part of
the Constitution which authorizes his to
make suggestions to Congress? Certainly
not. The administration have a right to
use the public money for legitimate ends ;
but they have no right to &kat it, fled
whet they do steal (which is a very com
mon occident now-a- days), am Ito be call
ed a traitor because I denounce the theft
The shoddy boys may regard this as a
very malignant type of treason, (Cheers )
but not to men of common sense and
patriotism. (Ceeers.)
With as much propriety can it be main
tained that the executor of a will is the
will itself, es that the Administration is
the Government. (cheeps ) But Gentle
men, this doctrine of the indivisibility of
the Administration and the Government
is a heresy—a dangerous heresy. It is one
of many conceived by the men now in au
thority, to make their way, ways of pleas
antneas ; and, when taken in connection
with ethers of recent origin, constitutes a
scheme under which designing men could
overthrow the liberties of the country be
fore the people would become seriously
alarmed. Now, see how harmoniously it
will work in with that other heresy which
measures " authority by necessity "
which declares that whatever some one
may deem necessary, is authorized by the
War Power, and whoever complaies of
usurpations under this doctrine, is disloy
al to the Government—is guilty of a "die
loyal practice." Not only teat; but ac
cording to Mr. Lincoln's doctrine, as he
expounded it in his Aliany letter, " who.
ever stands by and says nothing, is to be
suspected—much more he who speaks for
his country with buts and ifs." ;Treat Godl
what eland of libertythis boasted asylum fur
the oppressed of every country is becom
ing ! The freemen of ilia country, whose
agent Mr. Lincoln le, stand up and say :
"If you would mioot a v.isc•
policy, the could I.r re.:tored ; but
we fear you wiil not:" aid lor that the.
are to be suspected of disloyalty to the
Go'vernment, for here are the "hut," and
the "ifs!" But more ; if, bewildered
with the horrible condition of the country,
the rapid succession of mighty events and
the enunciation of new dogmas and strange
doctrines, they stand in silent meditation,
they are still to be suspected of infidelity
to the Government.
It would undoubtedly be very agreeable
to the men in authority to have it settled
that the administration and the govern
ment are one an d inseparable ; that Mr.
Lincoln himself is the law as well as the
executor of the law, and whoever corn
plains against his acts is a traitor to the
government. Bat what a scandalous—
nay, what an infamous heresy! Why,
gentlemen, so far from loyalty to the gov
ernmeut requiring at your hands obeequi
One submission to the administration, it
may require the reverse. Fidelity to the
government may demand hostility to the
administration- Such is the case now on
many essential points. The constitution
and the laws are the true standard of fidel
ity. If yon are . unfaithful to these, no
measure of subserviency to Mr. Lincoln
and his administration can make you a
true patriot.
The Constitution forbids the abridge
ment of free speech ; the Administration
has abridged it on many occasions ; and I
must choose between them. lam loyal to
the Constitution, and therefore cannot be
loyal to the Administratiori. The Consti
tution guarantees a free press ; the Ad
ministration has, in repeated instances.
abridged that freedom ; and here again I
am loyal to the Constitution and against
the Administration. The Constitution
guarantees my right to speak for my coun
try with buts and ifs ; but Mr. Lincoln
says that if I say nothing I am disloyal.
How marvelously astute, and bow gener
ous is this doctrine 1 It reminds one of that
profont d Irgal astuteness and gent roe:l,y,
which, in the earlier titt,,ty of New
Nrg
land, consigned witches to th waters et
the Connecticuteitivi r, With the humane
qualification tliat ths ee' who swam out
were guilty and should be hung, but those
who sank were innocent, and should be
acquitted. (Loud applause.)
Who Assists the Rebels ?
From the Philadelphia Age.
•
The latest dodge with which to frighten
Pennsylvanians from a conscientious de
posit of -their ballots consists in the cry
that he who votes against Go'ernor Car
tin, assists the rebels. One would have
thought, judging by the small Effect that
this same howl produced on the Demo
cratic voters in 1862, that it was not as
perfect a method of intimidation, or even
argument, as could be desired. Bat as it
is revived nowfand the changes rung upon
it by every Abolitionist press and speaker,
from General Butler, up, it is worth while
for the people of Pennsylvania, to ex
amie this question and seriously ask them
selves, who does really assist the rebels?
The Black Republicans, or the Democrats?
In the first place, who made the south
rebels—those who were willing that they
should enjoy their legal rights, or those
who denied them ? Those who refused to
kneel at the same altar, or those who were
glad to worship with them? Those who
stigmatized an institution which was every
Southern man's inheritance—which was
born with him but could not die with him
—as the crime of all crimes, the sum of all
barbarities, or those who judged them as
they wish to be judged? Those who
thought that "all the boots in Massachu
setts could not kick the South out," and
that "an old scow and a half more of men
could walk from the Potomac to the
Gulf," or those who believed in their sin
cerity and acknowledged their valor?
Those who prophesied the exhaustion awd .
destruction of the South in sixty days, or
those who appreciated its resources and
the spirit which used them ? The answers
to these questions we are willing to leave to
the popular heart. Is it not most probable,
then, that those who made the South
rebels will continue to give cause for re
hellion, and that those who would have
originally given no ground for rebellion
will now endeavor to remove it? The in
cendiary is not generally the first to extin
tuish the flames produced by his own
crime
Who in the Cabinet assists the rebels
most : he who divides their feelings of re
sistance, or he who coesolidates them?'
He who makes rebellion the only path of
safe-ty to the Southerner, or he who makes
toe Baton his harbor of refuge? He who
tells him that his life is liable for treason
and his property to be confiscated by pro
clamation, and gives him no assurance
that anything but success can save either,
or he who would say to him, " In the
tln ton your past deeds shall be forgotten
and your property be secure?" He who
would make a return to the Union an ad
vantage to the South, or he who would
perpetuate everlasting mementoes of their
defeat, or he who would hide the emblems
of their discomfiture? He who would
xcite a servile race to outrage their wo
men and children, and who preach with
applause their extermination, or he who
remembers the obligations of race. of kin
dred, of religion? He who gives them a
cause to fight for, or he who takes away
all raise for lighting?
Who, in the field, assist the rebels most
--those who stopped recruiting at the be
kinoirg of the war, or those who wished
to go on with it'? Those who profligately
waste the resources of the nateou, or those
who would husband them'? Those who put
hhoddy on the backs and straw paper on
the feet et our brave soldiers, or those who
expose the frauds ? Those who furnish
hhella filled with sand instead of powder,
end that burn in the load.-r's hand ? Those
who deprive our army of its most cher•
shed and competent leaders, and fill their
places with political generals and partisan
leaders? Those who opposed Hooker and
in; to Lee and Johnson ? Whc assisted
the rebels most--McClellan or Pope?
Fit'? John Porter or Fremont ? Buell or
kerns:dos? Franklin or Schenck ? Du
pont or Welles ? %Vito assisted the rebels
moat—Curtin. when be invoked distrust of
the Government by asserting that "he
would not play the part of the Adminis
tration on the banks of the Etappahan
no; k." or Wcodward. when he wrote to
Col. Biddle, " never mind the political
campaign, but hurry and defend our State,
and take as many men as you can with
you ?"
Who has assisted the rebels abroad the
most—he whose dispatches are the laugh
ter and derision of the world i who by a
persistent course of fabrication has so
dishonored the American name that veri
fication must always accompany assertion
to ensure belief ; who has given away for
naught the tradition, of our government
—the right of search and the Monroe
doctrine—and was desirous of sacrificing
“the militia of our seas"—our rivateers;
he who shamelessly offered an enemy's
troops, coming to take position against
us, a transit over our own soil ; he who
has made the American name a eynomyn
for empty gasconade, frothy exaggerations
std empty threats. Who has done the
most for the Southern cause—Mr. Sew
ard or Mr. Mason'? Mr. Cassius M. Clay
er !sir. Slidell - ? Mr. Carl Schurz or Mr.
Sp - -nee ?
Whose interest most is it to assist the re
bels to prclorg the war, to break up the
Union—the democrats or the abolitionists?
Who have the contracts, the power, the
iefluence which the war gives? Whose
fact,ries declare sixty six per cent. dirt
dend— the shoddy ones in the East, or the
iron ones in Pennsylvania? Who will lose
power, lose place, lose fortune, incur die
trust, resentment and lasting disgrace, the
moment the South returns—The Demo
crate or the Republicans? Who will, by
the reti:ration of the Union, gain place,
power, confidence and a gratitude which
the memory of the past will render inef
faceable—the Democrats or the Republi
cans" All these questions we ask, and are
willing to wait for their answer by the peo
ple at the polls on the I:ith of October.
Th , success of the Republican party in
uctober is the guarantee of southern in
dependence. It will confirm to the peo
ple. of the South, those apprehensions
and fears which are the only support of
their leaders ; it will assure them that
they need no merry, either for their per
sons or their property. South Carolina
seceded on the election of Curtin in 1860
—will she be more likely to return on hie
reelection in 1863 ? On the contrary, the
success of the Democracy will awaken
them from their error, by showing them
that they have misunderstood the temper
and policy of the North. It will declare
to them that the success of Republicanism
in 1860 was but a temporary hallucination,
and meant no permanent hostility to
them. They must be undeceived in this
respect before there can be a chance of
their giving way, and the success of the
Democracy is the only method of unde
ceiving them. When this belief, for
which a ready portal has been furnished
by our recent successes, shall enter their
brain, then, if already they have not grasp
ed with too firm a told for release the first
round of the ladder of their independence,
will come the glimmerings of the dawn of
reatoratio n.
