CLEARFIELD. PA.. JULY 1, 1863.
THE MOYEMEMTS OF HOOKEB."
Speculation has been rife, as to the posi
tion and movements of Gen. Hooker. The
Baltimore American of Wednesday last, how
ever clears np the mystery. The American
ays : "Our army now occupies the whole
Virginia shore np to Harper's F-'rry. The
garrison at Maryland Heights now forms the
right wing of Hooker's army, and we learn
has been placed under his command, making
it virtually a strongly posted reinforcement to
his army. Should Lee attempt the capture
of Washington by way of the Maryland route ;
and should Hooker throw a force over into
Frederick county ,Md., the position of the con
tending parties will then be precisely that of
last year when McClellan assumed command
and advanced on Lee and Jackson, with the
exception that our army, instead of being com
pelled to cross at Washington, will cross at
the same ford that Lee entered Maryland last
year." Under such circumstance more san
guinary battles will be fought in Maryland.
The Jmtrican is also of opinion that Lee's
advance into the Cumberland Valley is "mere
ly for forage and supplies," and that he has
"no purpose or thought of penetrating as far
as Harrisburg," as " such a movement would
enable Hooker to get in his rear, and the re
sult could not but be disastrous." We hope
this may prose correct.
Later advices state that one division of the
army now occupies Frederick, Md.
A COPPERHEAD REBUKED.
The Harrisburg Telegraph of June 20th,con
tains the following paragraph :
A gentleman informs us that he was present
at an interview between the Rebel General
Jenkins and some prominent Republicans at
Chambersbnrg. After discussing matters con
nected with the war for some time, a promi
nent office-holder in Franklin county stepped
np and introduced himself to the rebel Gen
eral. Jenkins said that he ought to refuse
shaking him bv the band. The office-holder
desired to know the reason of such treatment
Gen. Jenkins asked the question, "Are you
. 11 U ASIOll.rf HIIUI IIVJ llvtu ....0 " " " - J .
"les," was the reply. "Then you are a reg
ular copperhead." "That is what they call
me" replied the office-holder. To which the
rebel Genera replied, "Lincoln ought to have
hung you and the rest of the copperheads long
ago. We would not tolerate any such men in
the Southern Confederacy. We respect those
who are against us in the North much more
than the copperhead."

, la another column of to-days paper will be
found the resolutions of the late Copperhead
Siate Convention. It is a noticeable fact,
that these resolutions condemn the means
ased to crush out the rebellion, while they in
do wise condemn the rebels in their iniqui
tous efforts to destroy our Government ; nei
ther do they contain one word of condemna
tion' respecting the present invasion of Penn
sylvania, nor of encouragement to our people
to-raise arms in defence of their homes and
firesides and the repelling of . the invaders
from our soil this Convention being held
at the very time when the Rebels were over
running our Statecarrying off horses, cattle,
aheepj etc., and destroying all sorts of private
property.

TEE RECORD OF MR. JUSTICE WOODWARD-f
It is not without a degree of hesitation that
Re find ourselves called npon to criticise the
course of a gentleman seated on the Supreme
Bench of Pennsylvania. We have an instinc-
tive respect for the ermine, which prevents
us from saying anything that may tend to
weaken the confidence of the people in the
most sacred office that a citizen can hold. If
we do otherwise now, it is our misfortune and
the fault of Mr. Justice Woodward. It that
gentleman so far forgets the dignity of the
jurist as to enter into an exciting political
canvass without relieving himself of the res-
pousibility of bis judicial station ; if, in other
words, he comes before the people in a iosi-
tion demanding criticism and investigation,
and looks to the bench to give him immnni-
ty, he shirks his own duty and makes ours 1
unpleasant but imperative. Many years' se-
elusion on the bench render it difficult for I
Judge Woodward to have a record ; for his
position entailed silence in every time of
doubt, and freed him from. the necessity that
all brave men must sometimes meet of speak-
Ing with boldness and decision. 1 he coun-
try has been for two years in an agony of war,
.uu.uuu6 p.inm.uu gw. ju. .
Hiiero nave given ineir innuepce 10 me cause
without at all disparaging their dignity, Mr.
Justice Woodward has been so devoted to the
law and its etiquette, that he has not found it
proper to avow his patriotism, or to utter a
single word of sympathy with the people. If
his Gnbernatorial candidature has no other
effect, it will give him this opportunity ; for
there are words and speeches of this gentle
man which must be explained before tie can
assume to be the chief executive officer of the
loyal State of Pennsylvania.
After the election of Mr. Lincoln to the
Presidency, and before the treason of Mr.
Buchanan had ripened into war, a demonstra
tion of the citizens of Philadelphia took place
in behalf of the Union. M.iny good men of
all parties participated, and there seemed to
be a sincere and earnest desire to assure the
people of the South that Philadelphia was
without hatred to them or their institutions.
It was one of those lingering evidences of
peace and love which marked the opening of
the war, and showed how much a free people
could suffer before accepting the arbitrament
of blood. Mr. Justice Woodward tookpart,
and made a snoech that contained evidences
j . j i . . , I
of care and study. He was so much pleased
with it as a declaration of his faith, or, what
is more probable, as an inducement for the
nomination he then sought and subsequently
obtained, that he printed it as a pamphlet and
gave it general circulation. Ilis subject was
the troubles of the country, and in showing
how the country had . wronged the South be
said these remarkable words : "7 seems to
me that there must be a time when slave-holders
may fall back on their natural rights and em-
ptoy, in defence of their slave property, uhalever
means of protection they possessor can command." I
For using language like this Jefferson Davis I
and bis friends were called Secessionists ; for I
obeying the opinion of this judge of a North- J
ern Supreme Court the world has called them
traitors. These word9 were spoken in De- I
cember, 1860. The Southern States were then I
taking up arms ; Fort Sumter was being in-
vested, and all over the South angry words
and threats were heard. Thure were men
here base enough, as all will remember, to
give the traitors of the South comfort and en-
couragenieot, and we now see that prominent
among these was the Democratic candidate for
Governor of Pennsylvania. How sincerely
the slave holders of the South have followed
the advice thus given by a Pennsylvania Judge
two years of weary war bavo shown.
As we wish to deal fairly with Mr. Justice
Woodward, we shall more particularly define
his position. He might have innocently held
the opinions now on record, for such senti-
ments were frequently uttered by good men,
who had been betrayed into their advocacy
by the false philosophy that then controlled
theDemocratic party. When'they saw, how- dungeons, and respectable women and chil
ever, their fearful effects ; when they saw that dren treated with a brutality which it won Id
war and treason formed the only logic that be indecent even to name ; and all this, in
followed them, they spurned the belief, and
atoned for the past by per.-istent and consci-
entions loyalty. General Butler, Mr. Dickin-
son, and others, are illustrious examples. But
Mr. Justice Woodward was careful then, and
has been careful since, to prevent any misap
prehension of bis true position. None can
say of him that he ever changed the opinions
thus boldly expressed. Since the slavehold-
ers of the South began tho war he has been
silent. Amid danger, deieat,and death .when
the community was oppressed with grief and
shame, when every loyal man felt it religious
duty to make . profession of his devotion to
the country, this cold, unsympathetic, and sel-
fish man has held his peace. He had made
himself the champion of human slavery. "The
world," he said '"cannot live without cotton,
and cotton can only be raisod under the eye
of a master or an overseer." And then we
have the following enthusiastic laudation of a
system that has always been a disgrace to our
age, and which Southern men themselves hes-
itate to defend : "And thus it has ever hap-
pened," says Mr. Justice Woodward, "that
the providence of that good Being who has
ever watched over us from the beginning, and
saved us from external foes, has so ordered
our internal relations as to make negro sla-
very an incalculable blessing to us, and to the
people of Great Britain. Do you not see and
feel how good it was for us to hand ovor our
v. . . j . .o
It was that they have employed them in rai-
singaitaple for our manufactures ? How
wiseu was so to aaju.t me comprom.ses oi
the Constitution that we could live in onion
with them, and reap the signal advantages to
which I bave adverted?" After this degra
ding exhibition, the Democratic candidate
says : "It is said, let the South go peaceably
I say, let her go peaceably."
Here, then, we bave the creed of the eandi
date of the Democratic party for the Guberna
torial chair. It would certainly be impossible
for any public man to present a record more
favorable to the South. He is the panegyrist
of slavery ; be calls Dpon the slaveholders to
defend their system by the force of arms ; he
commands the North to submit peaceably to
slaveholding violence. If we were requested
to present the record of a Northern aympathi-
zer, we should take this of Mr. Justice Wood
ward. It is complete. It not only urges the
South to warbut the North to peace.
No
wonder Mr. Woodward shrinks from a canvass
by remaining upon the bench, for, If there is
a test that a man with such opinions would
dread, it is the scrutiny of a great, free, and
loyal people. PhiVa Press.
THE "DEMOCRATIC" PLATFORM.
The following are the resolutions passed by
the so called Democratic Convention, which
assembled at Harrisburg on the 17th June
Resolved, That we approve the reselutions
Up0n tne state of the country, passed by the
Ilouseof Representatives of this common-
wealth on the 13th day of April last, and in
addition thereto, and as a further expression
0j our views upon public affairs, do
Resolte as foUou-s . That we again renew
HlMltv tn ,h cni.itntion f the United
- j
States, the great charter for which our forefa
thers struggled and fought, aud which was es
tablished, 8 they themselves expressed it,
"to form a more perfect Union, establish jus
tice, insure tranquility, provide for the com
mon deience, promote the general welfate.
and secure thu blessing of liberty to ourselves
and posterity."
Ttiat, inasmuch as the constitution embod
ies the only guarantee we have for public lib
erty and private right, as without it we can
bave no hope of protection from bloodshed,
spoliation, and anarchy, the man who s leers
at the "Constitution as it is"' proves himself
to be deficient in the first elements of patriot
ism, and any officer of the State or Federal
Government who swears to support the Con
stitution, and afterwards, with that oath on
his conscience, wilfully violates it, is wholly
unworthy ol public confidence.
That among the rights which the Constitu
tion provides to every citizen, that ot being
secure in his life, liberty, and property, so
that he cannot be deprived of either without
due form of law a fair trial by a competent
indie and jury of his neighbors, with wit
J
nesscs
to confront him and council to defend him
is so great in itself, so necessary to the hap
piness of the people for whom all government
is made; ana this is so plainly written down
in the Federal Constitution, and in all the
Slate Constitutions, that any person who can
misunderstand it has not the mental capac
ity which fits him for a public station.
Resolved, That we have heard with intense a-
lartn and deep indignation that some of our po-
litical opponents claim for the President of the
U. States a power hitherto wholly unknown in
America, and never exercised in Europe or A
sia, except by the most despotic monarch,
namely the power to arrest free citizens for
the expression of their honest opinion on pub
lie affairs-and that the President has not on
ly presumed to exercise this power himself,
I with the moderation and mercy which his own
I nature might prompt, but has delegated it to
I many subordinates, and they again to others
in every part of the country, until its hideous
I presence is seen and heard all over the land
Resolved, That among the numerous officers
to whom the President has given this terrible
power, above the laws and above the people,
there must, the nature of things, be a large
proportion who are totally incapablo of wiel-
1 ding it either honestly or wisely. No, poli-
I ticians, filled with partisan rancor knaves,
I who do not care for justice, and ruffians, who
I delight In trampling it under foot, and there
fore we are not surprised to learn that the
worthiest men bave been torn from their fam
I ilies, judges knocked down on the bench, ruin
isters of the Gospel imprisoned in loathsome
many cases, without a pretence even of a po-
litical offence, much less of any crime against
I the laws
That a free government cannot exist with
out a free press ; and the Constitution of this
State, as well as that of the United States,has
declared that it shall be free. Those persons,
therefore, in office, who attempt to suppress
books and newspapers by violence are the on
J emies of this Government, and ought them-
I selves to be suppressed.
I That we heartily thank the lion-hearted De-
j mocracy of Ohio for the manly vindication
I they have given to the Constitution, against
I the great crime committed upon it in the ar-
rest and deportation of Vallandigham, and we
1 assure them of our cordial sympathy'in the
I great struggle they are making for their un
doubted rights.
That the plain duty of the Chief Magistrate
j of this Commonwealth requires him to use
I whatever power the law has placed in his hands
j to protect the State and the people from law-
I Jess outrages, come from what quarter they
may, and no man is fit to be Governor of this
State who will consent to bold his own liber-
ties and let the people hold theirs at the mere
will of the of the Federal Executive,
ew. That tha Democraev r t
haFe been ever trae t0 the canse of the
t wa9 in the amo and for the aftka of
nion that our party was made; that we denounce
the bMe ,nSjnuatI0U tnat tne Democratic par-
ty entertains now, ever baa entertained, or ever
can entertain, the slightest sympathy with the
presen( g5gantic rebelion, or with traitors
in
arms against the Government, or would ever
consent to a peace on any terms involving a
dismemberment of -this Union, as utterly nn-
jnst ; and Is proof of this we point with exul
tation to the lavish contributions to the war
in blood and treasure heretofore and now be
ing made by the hundreds of thousands of De-
mocratic citizens, who were among the first
to fly to the rescue of the Union, and peril
their lives in its defence,
Resolved, That as the true friends of the U-
nion, and feeling a profound anxiety for its
fate, we claim,and will exercise, the right to
consider, discuss, ascertain, and urge, in be
coming terms, upon the people and the con
stituted authorities, whatever measures will,
in onr judgement, be most likely to place and
keep the whole National Union together un-
fcder one General Government.
Resolved, That when the war began we. hid
the solemn pledge of the Federal Administra
tion, and of the party which placed it in power,
as expressed in the resolution passed by Con
gress July 22d, 1861, that it is not , waged on
their part in any spirit of oppression, or for
any purpose of conquest or subjugation, or
for the purpose of overthrowing, or interfer
ing with, the rights or established institutions
of these States, but to defend and maintain
the supermacy of the Constitution, and to pre
serve the Union, with all the dignity, equality,
and rights of the sveral States unimpaired,
and that as soon as these objects are accom
plished the war ought to cease. But the
Federal Administration, acting nnder the in
fluence of a small faction of. ultra Abolition
ists, alays opposed to the Union, and with
out the consent of the great tn iss of tho peo
ple, has totally changed its grounds, avowing
and proclaiming its purpose to be wholly dif
ferent, and thus it has greatly delayed-our
just hope of an honorable peace. .

Successful raid on the Peninsula, etc.
We are in the midst of exciting events.
Pennsylvania has been invaded by an immense
Rebel force, which has advanced into the very
heart of the State and threatens the destruc-
ion of the capitol. Amid the thousand and
one reports and rumors afloat it is difficult to
sift t! e true from the false, and give such do-
tails as are highly desirable. It seems cer
tain, however, that on tHe 26th the Rebels ad
vanced to Chambersburg, and took posessioti
of that town, and afterwards the Curtin Troop
liad a skirmish with them at the Stone Tavern
about five mile south of Carlisle. On the
same day 8,0U0 Rebels took poscssion of Get
tysburg. They were under command ot Gen.
Early of Longstrcet's division.
Carlisle was occupied by the Rebels on (he
morning of the 26th. their force numbering at
least 10,000 men. They were moving towards
Harrisburg in three columns. The excite
ment af'the latter place was intense, and the
governmeut archives were packed up and sent
away.
On the morning of the 28th, at about 5 o'
clock, the Rebels took posession of York, ten
miles from Columbia, and during the day they
advanced to the latter place, where a fight oc
curred between them and the regiments under
Colonels Thomas and Frick. The latter were
shelled and driven across tho bridge, which
was burned, we presume by our own men. At
the same time, it was said that the Rebels
had advanced another column to the river op
posite Bainbridge, abont 7 miles above Colum
bia, with sufficient pontoons to effect a cross
ing. Another dispatch states that the rebels
were also making an effort to cross the River
at Bridgeport, six miles below Harrisburg.
On the 28th a fight took place at Wrights
ville. The rebels threw some shells into the
town, injuring several houses aud barns. The
residents were much alarmed but most of them
stood their ground. A negro had bis head la-
ken off by a shell, in one of the streets. Tne
fight lasted about one hour and a quarter.
Our men fought valiantly ; one negro compa
ny is said to have distinguished itself. The
rebel force was about 8,000, whilst our force
was about 2,000. After a severe fight our
men fell back acioss the bridge, which was
destroyed by fire, by our men imperitive or
ders having been received to prevent the reb
els from crossing. The rebels fell back to
York.
On the 29th some skirmishing took place
about five miles from Harrisburg.
Information was received that 37,000 rebels
passed through Chamber.-sburg on Saturday.
Lee was at Chambersburg with his staff the
same day.
The rebel force at York is said be fifteen
thousand, under command ot Gen. Earley.
lie has enforced orders levy ing a contribu
tion of ene hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
forty thousand pounds of beef, fifty bags of
cofTej.and large quantities of merchandise
We feel inclined to believe that unless these
contributions have been paid, the reb-ls will
not he enabled to collect them. Our troops
might molest them before they get away.
The people along the Cumberland valley it
seems had given way to a general apathy, aud
it is said bad adopted the policy of non resis
tance, hoping thus to appease the invaders
and save their property. This feeling has
doubtless -been greatly encouraged by rebels
sympathisers. By this time, however, many
havo learned that apathy is a poor security a
gainst an inveterate and heartless ioe, who is
carrying off all the grain and forage, and dri-
ing off the stock, which they can put their
hands upon. The long lines of wagons,carts,
and other vehicles, laden with men, woman
and children aud such household goods as
could be hauled, which passed through Har
risburg, to a great extent tell their own sad
tale of the devastation and destruction which
have come upon that portion of onr fair State
The preparation for a vigorous defense are
still progressing at Harrisburg, and at other
points.
The 90 days Militia, according to an order,
are to rendezvous at the following places
3,000 at Huntingdon,, 17,000 at Harrisburg
and 20,000 at Reading, being 'the quota for
the Department of the Susquehanna. Of this
number 3,000 should be mounted riflemen
who would furnish their own , horses to be
paid 40 cents per day by the Government for
the use of the horses. Twenty companies ct
sharpshooters, each 100 strong, should be cho
sen among the mountain people. Twenty
companies of artillery, of 100 each, with
battery of 4 pieces.
Gen. Hooker has been relieved, at his own
request, of the command of the Army of the
Pot omac, and Gen. Mead has been appointed
in his place.
On the 14th an assault was made on Port
Hudson, but the attack failed, with a small loss.
The following day Gen. Banks issued a con
gratulatory address to his army on their steady
advance, stating that he was confident of a
immediate and triumphant issue of tho con
flict. We are at all points on the threshold of
his fortifications. One more advance and
they are ours.
The siege of Vicksburg is progressing stead
ily. The rebel stronghold is hourly expected
to fall. Onr men are in fine spirits.
A successful raid was mad on the Penin sula
on the 26th. The Virginia Central Rail--road
bridge across the South Ann was dp
sfroyed. One General, one Lieutenant Colm
nel, four Captains, five Lieutenants and a bun'
dred privates were captured; also 85 wagons,
360 mtfles, 90 horses, and $15,000 in Confed
erate bonds the whole of which were brought
(o Fortress Monroe. Our loss was 3 killed
and 8 wounded. .
