THE COPPERHEAD PROGRAMME.
It is manifest that some game is on foot by
which the Copperheads hope to deceive the
loyal portion of the Democratic party into a
snpport of their candidates for Governor and
Supreme Judge. Their programme is shad
owed forth in the speeches uf a Mr. Allslaycr
of Philadelphia, and Hon. Ifeister Clynier of
Berks, delivered at a Copperhead meeting in
Somerset on the 2itb of last August. Mr.
Allslayer said,
That in case of his ( Woodward's) election,
and that of Mr. Valiandigliam of Ohio, they
would unite with Seymour of New York, and
Parker of New Jersey , and by recalling the
roops of these four States from the army,
compel the President to make terms with the
South."
Mr. Clynier, a little mote guardedly, re
marked, "That if Woodward aud Vallandigharn were
elected, that with Seymour and Parker they
would unite in calling from the army the
troops of the respective States, for the pur
pose of compelling the Administration to in
vite a Convention of the .States to adjust our
difficulties.""
Here, then, we have competent testimony
as to the objects of the Copperhead leaders.
They hope by activity, deception and tricke
ery to elect Woodward and Vallandigham,
and then unite with Governors Seymour and
Parker, and withdraw the troops raised in
these four States from the army, for the avow
ed purpose of compelling the Administration
to oiler terras of peace to the traitors !
Loyal men of Pennsylvania ! will you per
mit yourselves to be deceived by these dema
gogues Will you be the dupes of these sym
pathisers with rebellion, to be used in crip
pling the Administration in its efforts to es
tablish and maintain the authority of the Uni
ted States over all its territory ? Will you
allow yourselves to be placed In a hostile po
sition to your Government, by these semi
traitors, for the purpose of strengthening and
upholding the rebellion and dividing and des
troying your country ? We know that such
is not your desire. We know that you are too
loyal to wish -the consummation of such a
vile deed. Then bo on your guard. Do not
sutler yourselves to be misled by the enemies
of the Union under the cloak of loyalty.
And, are these pretended leaders consist
ent? Are they loyal? When have they con
deined the rebels who are waging a dest mo
tive war against your Government? When
have they pronounced the rebellion a? uncon
stitutional On the other hand, have they
not ever since the outbreak of the Rebellion,
condemned the Administration, the war, our
Generals, the Emancipation proclamation, the
Conscription act, and every other means adop
ted for the preservation of the Union, as on
constitutional j Are these things not suffi
cient to convince yon ot the true intentions of
these men, and can you longer be deceived by
them ?
Such being the facts, wo ask you to reflect
ore it is too late. Now is the time most ef
fectually to show your loyalty to yonrcountry.
Throw aside your party prejudices in this the
hour of your country's greatest peril, aud c
lect to office men of undoubted loyalty. Elect
A. G. Curtin and Daniel Agnew.the soldier's
friends, and all will be right. Then the Ad
ministration will be encouraged to persevere
in its efforts to preserve the Union. The Ku
liellion will be crushed. its northern allies dis
comfited, and an honorable peace will speedi
ly follow, whilst the Stars and Stripes will
continue to. waive in triumph over every foot
of the United States.
WHICH IS EIGHT!
In December, 18G0, Judge Woodward, who
now aspin-s to be Govevnoi of Peuusy Ivania,
uttered these words
It seems to roe that there must lo a time
when slaveholders may fall back on their nat
tiral right$, and employ, -in defence of their
slave property, whatever means of protection
they possess or can command."
- One month later, Alexander II. Stephens,
now Vice President of the Rebel Government,
uttered the followiug words before the Geor
gia Secession State Convention :
V. "What right has the North assailed I Wbat
interest of the South has been invaded?
"What justice has been denied and what claim,
founded in justice and right, has been with
held ? Can either of you to-day name one Gov
ernmental act of wrong, deliberately and pur
posely done by the Government at Washing
ton, of which the South has a right to com
jilaio ? I challenge the answer."
" Here we have a pretty spectacle f .The North
ern Judge counselling the Rebellion the
Southern fire-eater. counselling submission to
the law could ' anything more clearly indi
cate who are the truo anthers of all the calam
ities that have now coma . upon our people ?
The loyal men of Pennsylvania will bear this
fact in miai-
HOW TO WIS THIS CAMPAIGN
We take the follwing article from the Phil
adelphia Press of September 2d, and com
mend it to the careful perusal of all truo Un
ion men, and Ask them to act upon the sugges
tions made therein.
"We have six working weeks liefore ns, to
fight the political campaign in Pennsylvania.
What is the present situation ? The disloyal
Democracy have made all their arrangements,
and we see an ostentatiousparade of announce
ments and engagements until the day of elec
tion. They have drilled their newspapers in
to effective service, and from now until elec
tion every pen that can be employed, and
every tongue that can speak will be busy mis
representing the Administration, denouncing
the war, and abusing the cause. - In organiza
tion our enemies aie perfect. They are ani
mated by a common purpose. With them it
in desperation. They have gone so far, and
played so boldly, and have so much to gain,
that nothing will be spared to obtain a tri
umph. There I ore. we must not anticipate
an easy victory. The men who manage '.he
affairs of the Union party are men worthy of
all confidence, and we fuel certain that wbat
they are doing is the just and proper thing to
do. At the same time, we cannot repress a
feeling of auxiety as to the progress ol the
campaign in the various parts uf the State.
In Ohio, every town has its weekly meeting.
The noise of contending orators is heard all
over the Union. It is so in Maine and Iowa.
Wbat are we doing in Pennsylvania ?
We can only win this campaign by' hard
work. The war has taken many thousands of
active Union me it from their homes, and,
while we may not have their V'tes, we want
their sympathy, counsel, and support. Those
who remain at home must do their part, and
what we want to see them do is this :
I. Let every township and ward have a com
plete organization, a club, or committee, with
a place of meeting.
II. Let there be frequent gatherings of
tho loyal people, and those who possess the
power of explaining and defending the cause
of the Union should make it their business to
do so.
III. Let us meet every issue frankly, and
defend it. The confiscation act, the bill of
indemnity, conscription, and emancipation,
should be the constant themes of the loyal
speaker and writer. Show the people the
true meaning of these acts ; their necessity,
their justice, and their value, and wc feel as
sured that the people will sustain them.
IV. Patronize the loyal county paper.
Strengthen the hands of the editor by woids
of encouragement, by contributions to his col
umns, and, in a more material way, by increas
ing his subscription lint.
V. Circulate documents. The publications
of the Union League, the speeches of Butler,
Dickinson, Collamer of Vermont, General Lo
gan, General Thomas, the great letters of
Rosecrans, Brownlow, Johnson, and Wilson
every thingjthat can throw light upon the doings
of the Administration. Remember that the
cause of the Union will gain its greatest tri
umph where the truth is most widely known.
VI. Watch carefully for every slander that
comes from an enemy. Trace it home, and
expose it. These insidious rumors and false
hoods are like the malaria In the atmosphere,
floating unseen, and everywhere carrying poi
son and death. Everyman can do his duty
in this respect, by carefully observing these
slanders, and denouncing them to his friends
ami neighbors.
VII. Let every man feel that the triumph
of thi campaign depends upon his own per
sonal exertions ; thai, if we would be victori
ous, he must attain tho victory. State com
mittees are very useful, but the peoplo must
not place to much confidence in their power.
The people must gain the triumph, and they
may as well do it in their own way.
THE WAR NEWS.
The result of the operations against the reb
el defences in the Charleston harbor are still
shrouded in mystery. The reports are still
favorable. Gilraore's siege operations are
progressing steadily, and at list accounts he
had approached Battery Wagoner so close that
ha. id grenades were thrown inside the rebel
works by our men. We also succeeded in ta
king some rifle pits outside of the Fort, and
captured sixty eight rebels. An attack was
made on Fort Moultrie by the iron-clads, but
no definite result is announced. No slieIN
have been thrown into Charleston within the
last ten days. Everything is progressing to
entire satisfaction, and our men are confident
of final success. .
Gen. Buruside telegraphs that he took Kin
stun, Tenn., on the 21, with but little opposi
tion. All Eastern Teuuessee, xeept the
Chattannooga region, has been evacuated,nd
is free. Everything ' is working splendidly
for Rosencrans and Burnside's armies. The
Lookout mountain is the great obstacle in the
way for a speedy advance, Burnside, however,
will surmouut Ihe difficulty, as.at last advices,
the men were assisting to haul the wagons up
the mountain by means of ropes. Officers and
men were assisting in this novel work.
A report was current at Fort Scott, Arkan
sas, that tho Rebel Blunt had fought a battle
and was whipped, with the loss of 3,000. His
entire force is said to le 25.000.
M.irmaduke's rebel cavalry, 3.000 strong,
have been driven out of Brownville, Texas,
and Col. Burbridge and a number of privates
captured. Our men were in ptirsuitatla.it
dates.
About ten days since the rebels succeeded
in capturing two small wooden gnnboats. on
the Rappahannock, the Sattclite and Reliance.
It seems, however, that they did not long en
joy fheir wonderful prizes- On Wednesday
last, Gen. Kilputrick went down and destroy
ed the boats, thus rnding the jollity of the
Rebels over their "important capture." Both
boats were completely riddled with shot and
shell, and sunk.
Gen. Burnside was at Knoxrille on the 4th.
UNION MASS MEETING.
The Republicans of Clearfield county, and
all who heartily sustain the National Admin
istration in its efforts to put down rebellion,
are invited to assemble in Mass Meeting at
the Court House in Clearfield, on Wednes
day evening of Court week, the 30th of Sep
tember, A. D. 1863. J. B. McEs ally,

WHAT TO DO WITH A "GBE EN-BACK."
There is, just now, a way ol using one of
Uncle Samuel's paper dollars, so as to get
back the worth of many gold dollars in a sin
gle year. Everybody has heard of Seth Boy
den's wonderful new Strawberry. From all
accounts, it is a marvellous thing the beriies
nearly as large as hen's egg's, and as good as
they are large. Dealers were after it, offeriug
as high as $3000 for the plants, to speculate
upon; but we are glad to know that the enter
prising Puplisher ot the American Agricultur
ist gut the start of them, and bought up all
the plants, and is multiply ing them in order
to give them away to his subscribers ! This
is in effect a free gift to te public tor the Ag
ricullurist, costing only a dollar a year, is
of itself worth many dollars to every one, as
v.e can testify, having ourselves long been a
reader of it. To those unacquainted with it,
we would say that the Agriculturist is a largo
Journal, of 32 pages in every number, is beau
tifully got up, and is illustrated with many
pleasing and instructive Engravings, which
are alone worth the whole cost- The pages
are literaJly filled with good things plain,
practical, reliable information upon every th in g
connected with the work of Household, the
Garden, anl the Farm. including a very
pleasing and instructive Deparment lor Chil
dren and youth that is hardly surpassed by
any of the professedly Children's Magazines.
The thousands ol useful hints and suggestions
in the Agriculturist, all prepared by practical
working men and women who know what they
are talking about can not fail to be worth many
dollars to every reader, whether residing in
City, Village, or Country. There are special
reasons for subscribing now ; First, The rule
for d is; hhutiug the Strawberry plants is.firsi
come first served ;" and Second, every new
stibcrib?r for 23d annual Volume that is, for
all of 18G1), will get the remaining numbers
of this year free. Take our advice then, and
send a dollar at once to the Publisher, (Or
ange Judd, 41 P,nk Row, N. Y. City.) and se
cure the paper, and the extra numbers, and
also an early place in the great Strawberry
list. If the plant are to come to you by
mail, as they can safely do, send an extra five
cents to cover the mailing- Those desiring
toreethe Agriculturist, before subscribing,
can get a post-paid copy, by sending a dime
to the publisher, as above.
A CANDID ADMISSION.
"The Democratic party is of the utmost
importance to us the rebelsjto aid in stimu
lating disaffection amongst the Yankees a
gainst their own Government, and in demor
alizing and disintegrating society in that God
abandoned country." Richmond Enquirer.
Here we have a candid admission ol a Reb
el Organ that the "Democratic party" is of
the utmost importance to the Rebellion.
When will honest men see the wickedness of
th course they are pursuing in acting with
the so-called Democratic party ? Almost ev
en' Southern paper praises the course of that
party, and appeals to its discouraged and dis
heartened friends to persevere a "little long
er" and the "diversion" making in their be
half ty their Northern brothers will accom
plish the success of the Rebellion. Honest
Democrats, will you pause and reflect ? You
would not, you could not purposely aid and
encourage this bloody Rebel lion ! Yet you are
doing it. and in a way that is most satisfacto
ry and consoling to the rebel. We entreat
you to reflect ttpj:) '. c equetices of the
unthinking ci.ivi y . i i ; sn; j, ere it is
too late.
GEN. MEADE ENDORSES GOV. CURTIN.
Major General Meade, on receiving the mag
nificent Sword presented to him by the officers
of the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, paid the
following highly merited tribute to Andrew
G. Curtin, Governor of Pennsylvania :
I am very glad, sir, that you have men
tioned your distinguished guest the Governor
of Pennsylvania. Cheers I have a person
al knowledge of his patriotic efforts in behalf
of the soldiers. To him the country is in
debted tor putting Into the field in its honrof

watched with pleasure and satisfaction the so
licitude he has always shown to see that all
its interests and wants are attended to. I have
been with him on the occasions when he has
visited the officers and men f.-om our State
and 1 know that they are indebtod to him for
many comforts, and that the country is in
debted to him for words of eloquence which
lie addressed to them to inspire them with in
creased patriotism and courage. Cheers.
I am gratified that be is here to witness this
presentation, aud 1 heartily join with you sir,
in the hope that his fellow citizens will re
member on election day iiis services in pro
moting the interests of the country and the
suppression of the rebellion." Long contin
ued applause.
TREASON IN IOWA
The West Union Pioneer, the organ of the
Democratic party in Fayette county, Iowa,
published an article a few days since upon
the conscription law, in which it addressed
the following counsel to its partizana : "You
should resist the conscription with your rifles,
your shot guns, or whatever weapons you can
et hold of. If yon, young men, do not resist
the consctption, yon are unworthy to be call

LETTER ER0M PRESIDENT LINCOLN.
Executive Minsion, t
Wasbisoto.v, August 26, 1862. (
Hon. James C. CouMtn Mr Dear Sir :
Your letter inviting me to attend a mass-meeting
of unconditional Union men, to be hel'l
at the capital of Illinois, on the 3d, day of
September, has been teceived.
It would be very agreeable to me thus to
meet my old friends at my own home, but I
cannot just now be absent from this city so
long as a visit there would require. The
meeting is to be of all those who maintain un
conditional devotion to the Union, and I am
sure that my old political friends will thank
me for. tendering, as I do, the nation's grati
tude to those other noble men whom no part
izm malice or partisan hope cau make false
to the natiou's life.
There are those who are dissatisfied with
me. To such I would say, "You desire peace,
and you blame me that we do not have it.
But how can we attain it ? There are but
i hree conceivable ways : First, To suppress
the rebellion by force of arms. This 1 am
trying to do. Are you for it ? If you are, so
far we are agreed. A second way is to give
up the Union. I am against this. It you are,
yon should say so plainly. If you are not for
lorce, nor yet for dissolution, thereonly re
mains some imaginary compromise. I do not
believe that any compromise embracing the
maintenance of the Uuion is now possible.
All that I learn leads to'a directly opposite be
lief. The strength of the rebellion is its mil
itary its army. That army dominates all the
country and all the people within its range.
Any ofler of terms made by any man or men
within that range, in opposition to that army
is simply nothing for the present, because
such man or men have no power whatever to
enforce their side of a compromise, if one
weie made with them. To illustrate suppose
a refugee from the South and the peace men
of the North get together in convention, and
frame and proclaim a compromise embracing
a restoration of the Union, in what way can
that compromise be used to keep Gen. Lee's
army out of Pennsylvania? Gen. Meade's
army can keep Gen. Lee's army out of
Pennsylvania, and I think can ultimately drive
it out of existence; but no paper compromise,
to which the controllers of Gen. Lee's army
are not agreed , can at all affect that army.
In an effort at such compromise we would
waste the time which the enemy would im
prove to our disadvantage, and lhl would be
all.
A compromise, to be effective, must be
made either with those who control the rebel
army, or with the people, first liberated from
the dominaton of that army by the success of
our army.
Abie, allow me to assure you that no word or
inl imntion from the rebel army or from ani, of the
men e onlrotl ivg it, in relation .o any peace com
promise, has ever came to my knowledge or belief.
All charges nul intimations to the ccnirary are,
deceptive and groundless, and I promise you that
if uny such proposition shall, hereafter come, it
shall riot be rrjeittd and kept stctet from you.
I freely acknowledge myself to be the servant
of the people, according to the bond of service,
the United States Constitution, and that as
such I am responsible to them.
But, to be plain, you are dissttisfied with
me about the negro. Quite likely there is a
difference of opinion between you and myself
upon that surject. I ceitaiuly wish that all
men could bejtree, while you, I suppose, do
not. Yet I have neither adopted nor propos
ed any measure which is not consistent with
even jour views, provided you are for the U
nion. I suggested compensated emancipa
tion ; to which you replied that you wished
Dot to. be taxed to buy negroes. But I had
not asked you to be taxed to buy negroes, ex
cept in such a way as to save you from greater
taxation to save the Union exclusively by
other means. You dislike the emancipation
proclamation, and perhaps you want to have
it retracted. Yon say it is unconstitutional.
I think differently. I think that the Consti
tution invests its Commander in-Chief with
the law of war in time of war. The most that
can be said, if so much is, that slaves are prop
erty. Is there, has there ever been, any question
that by the law of war the property, both of
enemies and friends, maybe taken when need
ed, and is it not needed whenever taken it
helps us or hurts the en -my ? Armies, the
world over, destroy enemies' property when
they can not nse it, and even destroy their
own to keep it from the enemy. Civilized bel
ligerents do all in their power to help them
selves or hurt the enemy, except a few things
regarded as barbarous or cruel. Among
the exceptions are the massacre of non-com bat
nnts,male and female. But the proclamation,
as law is valid or not valid. If it is not valid,
it needs no retraction ; if it is valid, it cannot
be retracted any more than the dead can be
brought to life. Some of you profess to think
that its retraction would operate favorably for
the Union. Why better after the retraction
than before the issue ?
There was more that a year and a half tor
trial to suppress the rebellion before the proc
lamation was issued ; the last one hundred
days of which passed under an explicit notice
that it was coming unless averted by those in
revolt returning to their allegiance. The war
has certainly progressed as favorably for us
since the issue of the proclamation as before.
I know as fully as one can know the opinions
of otl.ers, that some of the commanders of our
armies in the field who have given ns our most
important victories, believe the emancipation
policy and the aid of colored troops constitute
the heaviest blows yet dealt to the rebellion ;
and at least oneof those important successes could
not hacebeen achieved when it was, but for the
aid of black soldiers.
Among the commanders holding these views
are some who have never had any affinity with
what is called Abolitionism, or with the-Republican
party politics, but who hold them
purely as military opinions. I submit their
opinions as being entitled to some weight a
gainst the objections often urged that emanci
pation and the arming of the blacks are un
wise as military measures, and were not adop
ted as such in good faith. You say that you
will not fight to free negroes. Some of them
seem to be willing to. fight for you ; but no
matter fight you, then, exclusively, to save
the Union.
1 issued the proclamation on purpose to aid
you in saving the Union. Whenever you shall
have conquered all resistance to the Uuion. if I
shall urge you to continue fighting, it will be an
apt time then for you to declare that vou will not
fight to free negroes. I thought that, in your
struggle ror the U nion. to whatever extent the
negroes should cease helping the enemy, to
that extent it weakened tte enemy in his re
sistance to you. Do you think differently ?
I thought thatwhatever negroes can be got to
do as soldiers, leaves just so much less for
white soldiers to do in saving the Union.
Does it appear otherwise to you ? But negroes,
like other people, act upon motives. Why
should they do anything for us, if we will do
nothing for tbem X If they stake their lives for
ns, they must be prompted by the strongest mo
tires even the' promise of freedom ; and the
promise being made, must be kepi.
The bigns look better. The Father ot wa
ters again goes nnvexed to the sea ; thanks to
the great Northwest tor it j" nor yet wholly to
them- :Thfee hundred miles tin thev mat
New England, the Empire, the Keystone, and
new Jersey, newtng their way right and left.
Tho sunny South, too, in more colors than
one, also lent a band, on the spot ; tliMr part
of the history was jolted down In black and
white. The job was a great national one; and
let none be banned who bore an honorable part
in it, while tbose who have cleared the great
river may well be proud.
Even that is not all. It is hard to say that
anything has been more bravely and better
done than at Anlietam, Murfreesboro, Gettys
burg, and on many fields of less note. Nor
must Uncle Sam's web feet be forgotten. At
all the water's margins they have been present.
Dot only on tbe deep sea, the broad bay and
the rapid river, but also up the narrow,muddy
bayou, and wherever the ground was a little
damp, they have been and made their tracks.
Thanks to all! For the great Republic for
the principles by which it lives and keeps a
live tor man's vast future thanks to all
Peace does not appear so distant as it did.
I hope it will come soon, and come to stay,
and so come as to be worth the keeping in all
future time. It will then have been proved
that among freemen there cau be no success
ful appeal from the ballot to the bullet, and
that they who take such appeal are sure to lose
their case and pay the costs; ard then there
will be some black men who can remember
that, with silent tongue, ami clenched teeth,
and steady eye, and well poised bayonet, they
have helped mankind on to this great consum
mation, while I fear that there will be some
white men unable to forget that, with malig
nant heart and deceitful speech, fhey have
striven to hinder it. Still, let ns not be over
sanguine of a speedy final triumph. Let us
be quite sober. Let us diligently apply the
means, never doubting that a just God, in his
own good time,will give us the rightful result.
Yours, very truly, f A. Lincoln.
THE LATE ELECTIONS.
Union Victories in Vermont, Delaware
and California.
THE ADMINISTRATION SUSTAINED.
Tbe election for Governor and other State
offices, Congressmen, and State Legislature,
was held on Tuesday September 1st, in Ver
mont, and the result was a glorious Union tri
umph. Every st tte officer chosen is a Repub
lican, every Congressman is a Republican, ev
ery State Senator is a Republican, and every
member of the lower House, except tiro, are
Republicans. This is a most decided Union
victory, and an endorsement of tho National
Administration in its management of the war.
So far as heard from, Smith the Republican
candidate for Governor. leads his Copperhead
competitor 13.020 ; and our Congressmen aie
elected by majorities of from 5 000 to 7,000,
All bail ! for the star that never sets !
Wilmington (Del.) O. K. The Municipal
election, held on Tuesday. 5ept. 1st. i.a de
cided Union victory. The Union Mayor is
elected, the Union Alderman, the Union city
Treasurer, the Union Assessor, the Inspecfers
in every Ward, and the city council not a
Copperhead is left in the latter body ; a cir
cumstance unprecedented in the history of
party victories in Wilmington. There is
much rejoicing among the loyal men of Dela
ware over the result of this election.
All nxiL ! California. The "Golden
State" responds nobly to the "Star that never
sets." The entire Union State ticket is elec
ted, tbe three Congressmen, and a large ma
jority of the State Legislature. Mr F. F.
Tow, telegraphs the result of the election
thus :
"To Hon. Abraham Lincoln : Loyal Cali
fornia sends greeting. Tbe Union State and
Congressional tickets are elected by a majori
ty of 2-3,000 to 30,000."
"To Hon. E. M. Stanton : We have mov
ed on the enemy's works and they are ours.
California b her votes, bids yon and the ar
my God speed in your arduous and glorious
works."
So far Ciperheadism has been vanquished
in all the State elections, and we feel confi
dent that the Union triumphs will continue
until not a foe will be left. Pennsylvania will
follow in the wake of her lesser sisters, on the
2d Tuesday of October next, by electing Cur
tin and Agnew. She cannot, she dare not
prove recreant to the Union cause, which she
has so nobly sustained from the first outbreak
of tbe rebellion.
