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

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

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

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

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.

Copperheadsand Southern Rebels, are one and

"Charleston and Chattanooga," says the

Defeated at Chattanooga and driven hack up

would carry the election next month with little
difficulty ; the peace men in the United States

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

and Humanity in the name of Liberty and

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

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
