We would urge upon our friends through out the county the importance of our county ticket. Don't neglect it. Give it your hear ty support. It is composed of good men. John Mahaffey, is one of the nominees of I the Union party for Assembly. He is widely and favorably known in this county as a man of no ordinary ability. His education, busi- I uess tact, honesty and uprightness are unex- ceptionable, and fully appreciated by those who know him best. Should he be elected, I he will give no cause of regret to those who support hiai, and will be a credit to the intel- ligerce ef the county. We hope that the U- tiion 'men of the county will uo all fair and bouorable means to secure his election. Men of Ciearfleld, he is deserving of your vots, and Wa expect to 6ee an unusually heavy vote rolled for him. Shall e be disappointed ? We await your answer. Frank Bell, of MKean county is the oth er candidate for Assembly. He has been crippled in fighting the battles of his country, A man of intelligence and strict business hab its, and well calculated to discharge the du ties of the position for whieh he has been nominated. We hope that our friend will give him a full vote, and if so, we anticipate his election, as we have the assurance that he will receive a greatly increased vote ia his own ccrrrty. BoBtm Mitchell, our candidate for Treas urer, is one of tbe best men in the county He is intelligent and competent, and will dis charge the duties of tbe office with fidelity should be elected. Bis honesty and integrity and business habits are unexceptionable, and a better man for the position cannot be found Let the people support bini if they desire a faithful end accommodating county Treas urer. James Glens, the candidate for Commis Biotiur. ia a man fuf.v competent to dis charge the duties of the office lor which he is named. He is a crippled soldier, naving lost one of his legs in the battle of Draines- villa. Being a man without means, be must depend upon his individual exertions for a livelihood. We hope that the people of Clearfield county, without distinction of par- tv. will remember him at the polls on Tues day next. John RirssRtL.has been selected as our can didate for Auditor. He is favorably known in many portion of oursounty as a strict ac countant and good business man, and will tnake a most excellent officer. WHY CURTIN SHOULD BE ELECTED Andrew G. Curtin should be re-elected Gov ernor of Pennsylvania for the following plain reasons : First Because be has faithfully perform ed tho duties devolving upon him, and hat Hn..,nstrated his abiiitv.bv reducing the Drin- cipal of the State debt, in a time of war, over nine hundred thousand dollars. Second Because be has faithfully sustain dtae Government in the prosecution of the war furnishing promptly all the men asked for, and org inizing a Reserve Corps which has been the prtda and boast of tbe Common wealth. Third Becauso he has administered to tho wants of tbe soldiers ; cared for their inter cats : alleviated their sufforines : visited them In their camps; watched over theni in the hos pilars; aid devoted his best energies to their welfare. Fo-crth Because he is the standard bearer of tbe Union -cause, aud bis election will ev. erywhere be regarded as the triumph of the friends of the Government over its enemies. It wui give a new impetus u tne vigorous prosecution of tbe War; raise the bopes of our friends in other States; encourage the soldiers; crush out the copperheads; and vin dicate the loyalty of the Keystone State. Fifth Because there is no shadow of sus picion resting upon his loyalty as a roan. In ihe hour ot bis country's trial he has beeu faithful and ttue. To the support ol the Gov ernment ha has devoted tbe best energies of felt life. He has been tried and not found wanting. In his bauds the cause of Liberty and Union is safe. . - f Let it be Remexbereb that, while Mr. Jus tice Woodward has given his inteBect to tbe service of those who are enemies of the Union, nd hs fashioned many arguments for treason ' aod dislojraHjThe has net atd a word in favor tttv u.tt -BMtB ftw f .m. oa.ii n.ii.ua . The Hon. Georgs M. Dallas, formerly Vice President of the United States, per- baps the oldest Democrat, except Gen. Cass, now In the Union, has expressed his deter- mination to vote lor Governor Curtia. He is Democrat, not a Copperhead, and is in favor of sustaining the Government and crushing out the Rebellion. AH honor to a true patriot ! Col. II. L. Brown.oI the 145th Penn'a Reg iment, having been nominated for the Legis lature by the Copperheads of Erie, as a true Democratic patriot declines the nomination and says: "This is no day for dealing in pol itics, only so far as to place men in civil po sition. that will bring to the Government the entire strength, ol the country, both in blood and treasure, until this rebellion is crushed. My Democracy teaches me that my place is In the field, upholding in tuy humble way the flag ol our country . Ho Patriot at this time will recognize any party save tbe one that un conditionally sustains the Government in its struggle against traitors." IIon. Thomas Cunningham, of Beaver comi ty also long the leader ot the Democratic par ty in that county, and a delegate and one of the vice-Pr sidents of the Charleston Conven tion, has avowed himsell in favor of tbe U nion ticket. He delivered au eloquent aud powerful speech in Washington on Saturday, and will continue to speak uutil the election. Col. Wm. II. Blair, a life long Democratic leader in Centre County, ha taken the stump for Curtin. Col. Blair is a fearless aud effective speaker, whose advocacy for Curtin will do much to break up the crazy opposition waged against the Governor id Centre county. A newspaper, called the Spectator, printed in the German language, and published in Erie, has taken down tbe names ot Woodward and Lowrie, and ranged itself under the ban- ner of Curtin and Agnew. Hon. John Cessna, ot Bedford, late speak er of the House of Representatives, and elec- tor at large on the Douglas ticket in 1860, a most uucompromising Democrat heretofore.is out for Curtin and Agnew Hon. William M. Hiester, Secretary ot the Commonwealth in tbe Packer administra- tion, has also openly avowed himself in favor of the Union and opposed to the election of Woodward Col. R. Biddle Roberts, Chairman of the Breckinridge State Central Committee in lfcGO, is now an unconditiona 1 Union man, and has taken the stump in favor of Gov. Curtin. Thus the ball rolls on, and true patriots without regard to party, rally round the Union flag, and stand by the Government. On next Tuesday evening, the greatest Union victory will be celebrated, that has been achieved du ring the war. WOODWARD IIT FAVOR OF SECESSION. Democratic Testimony. . Judge Cunningham, for years tbe leader of tbe Democratic party in Beaver county, has declared it his duty to support the Union ticket; he has forsaken his party because his party has forsaken tbe Union. Iu a recent speech be said that Mr. Justice Woodward af firmed to him, last fall, that, "ti his judgment, our only course was to withdraw all our armies north of Mason and Dixon's line, and offer terms to the rebel States." Yet. Mr. Justice Wood ward ha? lately said, in a. letter intended to influence the election, that he has always been in favor ot tbe war. We know, too, that at the beginning of the war he said that the South should be allowed to leave the Union peaceably. Can Mr. Justice Woodward recon cile these contradictions 1 We cannot, nor can the people. The Hon. Judge Kelly addressed an im mense meeting at WilHamsport on tbe 30th His arguments were received with great en thusiasm. He stated that a short time before the breaking out of tho rebellion, in the Sw preme Court at Philadelphia, whilst tbe mem bers of tbe bar of Chester and Delaware coun- ties were awaitine the onenine of the court. Judge Woodward, in a conversation with the gentlemen then present, made a statement, that should there be a separation between the North and the South, he would prefer the line to be drawn north of Pennsylvania. For the truth of this statement Judge Kelly said he was authorised to refer to the Hon. John M. Brootnall and Hon. Edwird Darlingtou, of Media, Delaware couDty, and to JST. V. Pen- nypacker, Lsq.. J. Mmtn irtLey, and il Ham DaTlington, of West Chester, who partic Ipated in the conversation. HOW TO CONTINUE THE WAR. Elect Woodward Governor of Pennsylvania, and Vallandigham Governor of Ohio, and the war will, in all probability be prolonged for years, and every able-bodied man in the coun- try will have to be drafted. But re-elect Curtin in Pennsylvania, and elect John Brough in umo, auu me reoe.s wn. oe wnippea Deiore r. ' j i.i - i i i Christmas, because they will know that they cannot rely any longer upon the aid of the sympathizers in the North, neither would there be any fear of foreign intervention. No further drafts after tbe present one, would be required, and even those drafted will have but Hlte t0 do should the-ir services be re- I qUlreo at au. d t uke mach braing t0 UD(ier8tan(i this position, and those who will persist in vo ting or Copperheads under these circumstances, must be classed as enemies of the North, and friends of Jeff. Daris and his Government. THE ONLY ISSUE Before thepiioplo of Pennsylvania is loyal ty and disloyalty to the Government. Tbe parties were distinctly defined by the lament- ea uougias, wnen ne saiu -mere can oe oui Pttrio and Traitors" in this war. The rep- resentatives of these two classes are Vurtin and Woodward. For which party will you vote i - ' rrOu, friends should h careful to renort " the name of anv member of election boards. wh f oldier' rot.. We want their names and tbe names of tho soldiers. - HDLLEIS ABIil KALLUiO. I - , 1't requires no arguments to demonstrate, that the result ot the election on nei lues- day will exercise a most potent influence ou the progress of the War for the suppression ot the Rebellion. On the one baud, if Pennsyl- vania, by a triumphant re-election of Govern- or Curtin, shall demonstrate ber unswerving purpose to sustain the Administration at Washington in prosecuting tbe war until eve ry traitor in rebellion is compelled to lay down his arms, it will be as stern and severe a disas ter to the rebels as the defeat of their armies upon the commou battle-field. It will blight their . fairest prospects enfeeble their most powerful efforts destroy the probability, of Foreign intervention, and demonstrate the ut ter hopelessness of their cause. It will en courage tbe hearts and nerve the anus of our gallant soldiers and sailors it will crush out an annoying and pestilent opposition to the Government aud it will hind together more closely and firmly the loyal men in all the loval States for a last and mightier effort, to result in final aud overwhelming victory. But, on the other hind, the election of Woodward, would be hailed as a victory iu every rebel State, and by every traitor in the land. It would cripple the Government dis courage the army, and encourage opposition bring about foreign intervention prolong the war cause another draft cost thousands ot additional lives aud fill the land still more full of maimed men. widowed women, and fatherless children. On Tuesday, then, is to be fought one of the greatest battles of the war not with bullets, but with ballots. Patriots ! shall it be victory or defeat Shall the sun go down upon our starry flag dishonored, or shall his last ray gild that gorgeous banner, as it floats trium phantly over a defeated foe,while every stripe and star, though voiceless, proclaims that Pennsylvania is unfaltering in her devotion to the Union, in her enmity to treason, in her undying fealty to Liberty and Right ! THE RESULT IU PENNSYLVANIA The Woodward State Central Committee have just made up their estimate of the vote , for Governor at the ensuing election, based upon the report of their party friends in the different counties. A War Democrat, sup posed by them to bo --all right on the goose," called at the Committee rooms in Philadel phia in the forepart of last week to ascertain how their estimate footed up. He was shown the 'calculation,' whieh elected Woodward, of course, but by a bare majority of 6,'600 votes. Looking over the counties to see how this re sult was obtained, he found Berks reported to give 7,800 for G. W. Woodward; Montgom ery, 1800; Schuylkill, 5,000; York, 3.000, and so on, while in Philadelphia, Lancaster, Allegheny, &c, the majorities for Curtin were correspondingly reduced. The Woodwardites on the Committee as good as conceded that the 'game was up,' unless Lee could be in duced to make another raid into Pennsylvania about election time. This was their only hope. The Union State Committee have also made up their table of probable majorities upon data furnished by reliable parties in the different counties. In their calculation Berks is set down at 6000 majority for Woodward, (more than she can give.) Schuylkill 3,000 ; Mont gomery 1200, &c. Philadelphia 0,000 for Curtin; Lancaster 5,500, Allegheny 6,000, &c. The lesult foots up about 30,0u0 major ity for Curtin in the State. Judging from the "signs of the times," the great number of Democrats who are com ing out fa favor of Governor Curtin tbe U- uion majority in the State will rather be above than anything below the figures given. Free men, do your whole duty, and the result will be an overwhelming victory. COPPERHEADS AND REBELS, ONE AND IDENTICAL. Those who doubt the fact that Northern Copperheadsand Southern Rebels, are one and tDe 8arae cxa "uiManwy satisry ii.emse.ves 1 i . x m t . 1 P.v reading the loiiownig iroui tue tuenmon z liqxtlrerul ePl- 1 "Charleston and Chattanooga," says the Enquirer, "are the only points where the en emy present tne least appearance oi ngnt. Defeated at Chattanooga and driven hack up on Nashville, the Vallandigham men of Ohio would carry the election next month with little difficulty ; the peace men in the United States would ouce more assert their mannooa, and speak out as they did before the late disasters choked their ntterauce." Honest Democrats, read and ponder ! Are you prepared to rejoice over the defeat of the armies of the Union because it will bring vic tory toour party ? Will yon continue to act with an organization thus in sympathy with rebels in arms ? Ask yourselves the ques tions. "Who would Jefferson Davis elect, it he had the power, for Governor of Pennsyl vania ? Would it be Curtin or Woodward 1 An(l hlU , vote f()r the candidate, of Jeff. Da v5. , shaU t sunDort aIld sU8tain the Rebel lion J While my sons and brvithers and neigbors are fighting to crush it, shall I vote it a new lease of lile ?" In the name of God and Humanity in the name of Liberty and Right, we appeal to every "man to ponder these questions and answer them in view of the great responsibility that rests upon him iu this crisis ot his country's fate. A VOICE FROM THE S6TH. A private leter from a member of Company K, 56th P. V., formerly a Democrat, con tains the following sentence : "Our regiment is for A. G. Curtin to a man." No wonder the Copperheads advise- their followers to vote against the amendments to the (jon8titut0I1, giving the soldiers the right t0 TOte Tbeir ,rierjdS) however, will attend t0 that when the proper tiale arrives.

HOW THE SOLDIEES VOTE. If the Woodwardites did not know that tbe soldiers were not copperheads, they would vo ciferously advocate their voting. It is be cause they are perfectly convinced that they would vote against their candidate, that they have refused to assess them in many locali ties, and use every means to prevent them from exercising the right of suffrage. The 51st Pennsylvania Volunteers, now sta tioned at Crab Orchard, Ky., and which has been reduced by two years' hard service to 300 men fit for duty,of whom 236 are present with the colors, recently concluded to take a vote for Governor. The result was as follows; Curtin ... 208 Woodward . - 28 In the 5th and 10th Penn'a Reserves a vote was taken which resulted as follows : Fifth. Curtin . . . 310 I Woodward . . 12 Tenth,Curtiu . . . 383 j Woodward . . 9 A vote was takeu in the looth Penn'a Vol unteers, on duty near Baltimore, and resulted, Curtin 323 j Woodward . 10 The vote in the Did Bucktails stands thus, Curtin ... 308 Woodward . . 7 Were the Pennsylvania soldiers to vote at the State Election, Curtin's majority would doubtless exceed the 30,000 by which he was elected in 1860. Yel the party wh ich keeps its men at home to vote, and denies the Right of Suffrage to Volunteers in the service of their country, is constantly inquiring, Why don't the Republican go to War V &c, &c. They told us that there were more Democrats in th5 army than Republicans. If they be lieve it, why do'nt they let them vote ? Recently, all the convalescent soldiers in our hospitals, have been fuiloughed and discharged,- without regard to party. This has revived the ire of the Woodwardites. They say the3 were sect home to vote for Curtin, and in many places they have refused to assess them. They regard it as a terrible outrage that these men, wh have been maimed and wounded in defence of their country, should be permitted to esrrcise the right of fran chise. We can assure them, however, that all their howling will not prevent the soldiers from voting. All over Pennsylvania, in eve- ry township of the State, there will be gallant met. some without arms some without legs, some without eyes, maimed, crippled and blind, who will, next Tuesday, step up to the polls and deposit their ballots for Andrew G. Curtin tbe soldiers frieud." Is there a man, worthy the name, who would dare to prevent them ? Shall the citizen be permit ted to vote, because he pays money, iu the shape of taxes, to carry on the Government, and ihe soldier, who has endured haids!iii, trial and fatigue; been wounded and maimed and risked his life, not only to carry on tbe Government but to preserve it from absolute destruction, be deprived ot that right ? It is bid enough to deprive tbe soldier in the field of tbe right to vote, but to attempt such an outrage upon the wouuded, disabled soldier at home, is enough to tire a heart of adamant with indignation, and will undoubtedly be visited with the withering scorn of every right thinking citizen. Should there be, in Clear field county, a member of any election board who would b9 guilty of the despicable act of refusing a soldier's vote, let his name be rg istered aud remembered, for a day of retribu tion will assuredly arrive. NOT TO BE UNDERSTOOD. A number ot Ju jgj Woodward's friends ser enaded tti.it gentleman at hi residence in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening the 2'Jih when the Judge made his appearance and spoke as follows : "I have been honored by the call of my fel low citizens, but tho call being an unexpected one, and having just returned troni the Ilorti cultural Fair, teel tired and worn out, and for this reason vou must excuse me for not ad dressing you. If I should be elected Govern or I would then feel it my duty to address you upon political questions, and then I will ex press uiv opinions in a language to be under stood. Until that time comes I must be excu sed. 1 thank you tor tbe compliment. I bid you good night." This is worse than Mr. Buchanan in 1856, when he siid his tongue was tied and the plat form must speak for him. Woodward says when he is elected he will speak in "language to be understood." This, means that the lan guage iu whicn he speaks now is not intended to be understood, lie expects his followers to-"go it blind" and get their eyes open only after he is elected ! Is this the course for a candidate to pursue iu such perilous times as these t A PLAIN PROPOSITION. t,an. any intelligent man doubt that the prospects of the Woodnardites would be brightened by a disaster to the armies of the Union f If news was to arrive that Rose crans was anven trom Chattanooga, .or that Gitlruore bad been compelled to abandon the siege of Charleston, would not the chances of Woodward's election be increased a thou sand fold 1 What kind of a party must that be, then, whose success is promoted by the countiy'3 misfortunes, which draws its vi tality from the life-blood of our oldiers, and flourishes best on the miseries and sorrows o tbe nation 1 What patriot will support cause whose fortunes rise with, the succes-s and fall with tbe defeat of tbe armed enemies of his country ? What better proof that the purposes of Northern Copperheads and South em Rebels are identical ? Let everv honest and intelligent citizens ponder these plain questions, and answer them at tbe polls. A DEMOCRATIC SENTIMENT- General John Cochrane tells bis Democrat ic friend 8 in New York that 'Until the rebels against the people and their uovernraent cease from molesting. will unite with any and all to compel them to lay (lowu their arms." These are the words of a strict Democrat a supporter of John C. Breckinridge and wh remained by the organization until it be came a part of the rebels conspiracy. N Democrat can refuse to accept a seutiment so plainly and boldly expressed. SPEECH AND DEaTHOF TEAKCIS J. GRTJND ; Francis J. Grand, widely known as a Dem ocratic politician, and late Editor bf the Jige (Phil'a) recently renounced the support of Geo. W. Woodward, and came out for Curtin. He made a most eloquent and-able speech at the Uuion League Rooms in Philadelphia, on Monday evening of last week. He explained that he could not stand the doctrines sought to be propagated bv the proprietors of The Jige, and therefore ceased to be its editor on the 17th of July ; the articles calling Davis 'President' were not his he wonld not have given the traitor that title tor the sea's worth. He said if Judge Woodward would come out squarely on a full war platform and avow him self in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war until the Rebels lay down their arms, he would work and vote for him ; if, on the C"ii trary, he supports the war only conditionally, or if. "sharing the opinions of Mr. Calhoun, he holds, as I honestly believe he holds, that tho Federal Government has no right to co erce one or more sovereign States which dare to raise tbe standard of Secession and Rebel lion against the lawful authority of the Lui ed States, then, whatever objection I might eretofore have had to the re-election of Gov urtin, I shall vote and labor tor the success ffhat nominee whose election will best se- ure the hearty co-operation of the patriotic popple of Pennsylvania in the holy work of conquering and utterly Clashing this wicked Rebellion.". On the Tuesday evening after the above peech was delivered, Mr. Gruud suddenly ied, and the circumstances attending his eath are thus related by the Bulletin: "Mr. Grund resided at No. 1719 Spruce street. It appears that at about eleven o'- lock a crowd with a hand of music started to serenade General McClellan. The serenading crowd were exceedingly noisy, and were groan- ng and cheering alternately. .Mr. Grund was man of full habit aud nervous tenipermen t, onseqiiently easily excited. As the crowd passed his honso matches were lighted, and onie of the party proceeded to examine the names and numbers upon the doors. Others were yelling and groaning, and cheers were given for McClellan, -Woodward, and other prominent Democrats. With the scenes ol iot aud bloodshed mlSew 1 ork fresh in his memory, and judging from ihe character and movements ot the gathering in front ot his house, it was very natural that Mr. Grund hould become excited ami entertain fears for lis life and property. No sootier were the flashes ot light seeu.aud the cheers for Wood ward beard, than Mr. Grund hastily left his house by the back door and ran all the way to he Fifth District Police Station, at Fifteenth and Locust streets. His visit there was no doubt to claim tbe protection ot the police. but upon his arrival at the Station House he was so much exhausted by over-excitement hat he could only say, in a tone almost inaud ble, "Send for a doctor bleed me !" Dr. Huston was at once summoned, but it was too late. In ten minutes after leaving his home. Mr. Grund was a corpse. His death was caus ed by apoplexy, no doubt induced by alarm and excitement. Lieut. Paulin sent tor tbe son of the deceased and endeavored to break he sad intelligence to him gradually, but when tbe young man heard of the demise of his father, he tainted and droppod upou the sidewalk, at Fifteenth and Locust streets. He was carried into the Station House, and sever al hours elapsed bolore he recovered his sen ses. Mrs. Grund, when toUi of her husband's death, went out of her mind, and at Inst ac counts was still insensible. ORESTES A. BR0NS0N. The gentleman whose name heads this no tice, and who has bee'i bng known as a dis tinguished wiiteriroiu his connection with the celebrated Catholic Review that bears his name, recently delivered a powerful Union speech in Philadelphia, Iron, which we make the following extract : We are not lighting States. We can't do it. We are fighting rebels. A State that secedes becomes a subject ; rebelling it becomes a rev olutionist. The war is a civil territorial war, including States and territories, and every rebel in it is a public enemy. We are not bgtuing that abstraction called a State. Men can't be ueutral in these times. Hiw can a good son be-neutral when he sees a loan with a dagger at his mother s heart. Country is more than mother. It this is preserved oth er generations may grow aud expand in glory. The neutral is not only a traitor, be is a cow ard. I have no sympathy with a party that seeks to come into power through peace. Give the rebels peace and yoH give theni in dependence. The copperheads are deceived. Some of their leaders expect b:tl a tempniaiy secession. Tbe South has no such an idea. They have used the northern Democrats ; how they intend in future to treat them, cm he seen by the Richmond (tapers. Tlii.s Union once dissolved can never ha restored. e must elect sucn men to ow . us wiii pusn mo war, and maintain thn government If we could raise thiee hundred thousand men be tween now and December, we should'nt have another battle. n nen well noggea, tney will love us better than they did before. Let ns show ourselves their military superiors, aud they will no longer trouble us. THE BENCH AND TH2 STUMP. George W. Wood ward, through his platform and his stump speeches, teaches that the sus pension of the habeas corpus act is unconsti tutional. But what said George W. Wood ward himself, when ten years ago the famous Sharpless case was before that Court. Here is what be says that martial law does. 9 Har ris, page 174. 'In adequate emergencies, martial law sus pends the habeas corpus, inflicts summary pun ishments, and appropriates private property, WITHOUT REGARD TO IHE GUARANTIES OF THE Constitution. Inlet anna silent leges." Now,however,martial law is unconstitution al ; tbe suspension of tbe habeas corpus is un constitutional ; tbe draft is unconstitutional; war taxes are unconstitutional ; employing negroes to Sgbt is unconstitutional ; employ ing white men to fight is unconstitutional; everything except eating dirt and bumble pie, are unconstitutional. Alas ! alas, for the spec tacles through which Woodward looks. The patriarchial and levitical institution of hu man Slavery is the only incalculable blessing left us. "Slavery is a Divine Institution." Judge Woodward. So is a Copperhead a Divine institution, and on tbe same principle it may ba said that tbe father of lies, tbe old Diabolii is a Divine in stitution. " - WHO IS THE PATRIOT! Is it that man who sustains his own govera. ment against her foesin time of war, orMs it ha who, like Woodward, Is willing to surrender to tbe enemy territory in our possession Jm. pie enough to rival several powerful Europea countries in magnitude and trust to their tender mercies for the termination of all dir. faculties? These questions are easily answer ed by every candid and honest m3D. VT will expect a decision at the next election. The enemies of the Uuiou cause in Pennsyl vania have not yet , beeu able to discover a real soldier, who is willing to risk his reputa tion by stating that George W.
