WOODWARD S RECORD ON
" - SLAVERY.
AW ABOLITIONIST IN 1838.
Whatever the sin of seizing the defence
less African, of tearing him from bis home aud
country, and carrying him into hopeless bon
dage in i distant land, lies at the door oi En
gland. Aud whatevar evil baa resulted, or is
' to result to the colored people or the whites
of this country, from the institution ot domes
tic slavery, and the presence among us of
large masse of degraded and wretched bluetts,
is also fairly chargeable to the inhuman poli
cy ol Great Britain."
j "If the colonies desired a participation in
this nefarious traffic, they were excluded by
. ' the monopolizing inhumanity ot the mother
" country."
" Vud this policy so disgraceful to England,
and so injurious to the colonies so preserv
tugly adhered to by her, aud so abundant in
bitter fruits to us, was oue ot the causes which
finally impelled the colonies to throw off their
allegiance to Great Britain."
"The Revolution ws uot yet fought their
independence was not yet established, when
the '-Old Dominion" and the future "Key
etoue" of the Federal arch extinguished fur
aver within their borders the nefarious traffic
in human flesh."
"Let England' patriots dwell on her own
guilty connexion with slavery in every part
of the world. Let them contemplate tbe huge
sin, which rests upon bur conscience." . . . .
She must have torn from their homes, in Af
rica, six or seven millions of human beings,
and carried them away into hopeless slavery.
If the English. instead of superadding to their
guilt, by attempts to dissolve our Union, and
to sacrifice our liberties, were to enlighten,
civilize and christianize the remaining mil
lions'on the Contineut t f Africa, they would
scarcely atone for the deep and nnutterable
injuries inflicted on that race by the prosecu
tion of the slave trade."
'They (the negroes) were forced upon us.
They came not as the primitive colonists cime,
searching for liberty, but torn from their na
tive soil by English rapacity, they were
brought here slaves."
'It is the great -excellence and beauty of
our system that it is4ounded on the consent
of the governed, so that ullegiance and fideli
ty result as necessary consequences, and need
Uot be euforced by oaths aud positive enaet
nients. But, sir, the negroes never assented,
and their presence here, since it was procured
by fraud and force, could not be construed in
to an adoption of the country, or an aequies
cerice in lis forms of government. They were
brought here to be slaves and not freemen."
The act of 1780, which abolished slavery
iu Pennsylvania, was a proud monument to
the humane policy of the State. It wiped out
the stain of slavery, which England had left
on our soil, and conferred onlhe negro what
he had not before enjoyed ciril freedom. It
secured to him those cieil rights to which he in
common with all other human beings, of whaler
tr dime or complexion, had ati isfallible title
and of which he never ought to have been depriv
' ed."
"For the manifold evils which connect
themselves with tho black population of this
country there is a remedy. It is coloniz
tion. -The- negroes belong to Africa they
were cruelly lorn from that country, and it
they could now be returned to their fatherland,
with the arts ot civilization, and the lights of
education and religion, their bondage might
prove a blessing to the beuighted millions of
that continent. '
"I believe tbe negro race to be capable of
elf government. Undoubtedly they deserve
civil and religious freedom, and with proper
culture, are capable of enjoying it. And. sir.
verily do I believe that the much wronged
people of tbe South wou'd add to the tide of
emigration by gradually abolishing slavery , and
sending their blacks to Africa, so that we
might hope that our country would seethe
d tv when slavery oihr soil would he extinct."
Set Debates of Reform Convention, vol. 10,
jar;es 16 to 24.
A Slavery Propogandist in 1860.
Think of these tilings", fellow countrymen
con them over, one by one dissect and ana
lyze each fact trace its connections and con
sequences ; and theu, when you combine them
a!! in one glowing picture of national prosper
ity, remember that cotton, the produce of slave
labor, has been one of the indispensable ele
ments of all this prosperity. More, it must
bean indispensable element of all our future
prosperity. 1 say it must be. The world
cannot and will not live without cotton.
There is not a matron in all the Union that
cn clothe her family or herself without it.
Hot can England do without our cotton.
Her mills and ours would rot. and her opera
tives and ours would starve, if the negroes did
not raise cotton. Manumit them and they
will never raise another crop. They need the
Authority of a master and the eye of an over
seer to compel and direct them to the duties
of the cotton plant which must be rendered at
the right season precisely, or tho ctop is lost.
And thus it happens, that the Providence
inf that Good being who has watched over us
trom the beginning, and saved us from exter
nal foes, has so ordered our internal relations
as to make negro slavery an incalculable bles
sing to us and to the people of Great Britain.
1 say to us : for I do not enter into the ques
tion whether the institution be an evil to the
people of the Southern States. That is their
concern, not ours. We have nothing to do
with it. And to obtrude our opinions upon
the people of sovereign States concerning
their domestic institutions, would t9 sheer
Impertinence. But do you not see and feel
how god it was for o to hand over our slaves
to our friends of the South how good it was
for us that they have employed thera in rais
ing a staple for our manufacturers how wise
It was to so adjust the Compromises ot the
Constitution that we could live m union with
them and reap the signal advantages to which
1 have adverted! We consign them to no
heathen thril, but to Christian men, profess
ing the same faith with ns -peaking the
same language reiding the golden rul, in
no one-sided and distorted shape, but as it is
recorded, rule to slaves, as well as masters.
This allusion to the golden rule reminds me
of an objection which will be urged to much
that I have advanced. It will, be said that
slavery Is a sin against God. and therefore,
- that all reasons drawn from our material in
terests, for favoring or abetting it must go for
nothing.
' If it he a sin, I agree there is an end to
' my argument, but what right has the Aboli-
' lionists to pronounce it a sin 1 I say Aboli
tionist, because the pastor ot the First Pres
byterian Chnrch of Brooklyn, in a sermon
preached within week, defined an Abolition
ist to he one who holds that slavery is a sin.
I accept the definition, and according to !t
many of our beat Christian people must be ac
conn ted Abolitonists ; for it is astonishing
bow extensively the religious mind of the
. North has admitted into ifseir the suspicion,
not to say conviction, that slaveholding is a
in. If a sin. then it is a violation of some
Divine law, for sin is the transgression of tbe
law.
" Now, deny tbst any such law has ever been
revealed. The burden of showing it Is on
him who alleges, and when it is shown, I -free
it shall rale oat all that bas been said or
rS be said for a Union found d on slavery.
bind myself never to raise my voice again
in behalf of such a Union. But, so far from
any ucl. law being found plainly written for
our instruction, whoever will study tbe Patri
archal and Levitical institutions, will see the
piincple ol human bondage, and ot property
in man, divinely sanctioned, if not divinely or
dnintd ; and in all tbe sayings ot our Saviour,
we hear of no injunction for the suppression of
a slavery which existed under his eyes, wnue
h delivered many maxims and principles,
which, like the golden rule, enter right into
and regulate the relation. So do the writings
of Paul abonnd with regnlatonsof the relation,
but not w?lh injunctions for its suppression If
we go to the most accredited commentators,
or consult divines really wise and good in our
midst; or what is belter, study and search
the Scriptures for ourselves, ve shall fail to
find a law which, fairly interpreted and appli
ed, justifies any man in asserting, in or out of
thrt pulpit, that the negro slavery of the Uni
ted States is sinful. What right, then, I ask
again, has the Abolitionist to cheat tender
consciences into hostility to an institution
on which our Union is founded in part t
Good people say we do not wish to disturb
slavery where it exifta by local law, but be
lieving it to be sinful and inexpedient, we
will not submit to its extension, nor assist to
restore the fugitive to his master. Such peo
ple soon come to conceive that the more un
friendly they can feel towards slavery, the
more harsh speeches they make about slave
holders, the more they help on the irrepressi
ble conflict, the better will they recommend
themselves to God. In some churches anti
slavery sentiments have become essential to
good standing- According to some ecclesias
tical councils, it would seem that the great
duty of the American Christain is to war with
his neighbor's property ; and. if opportunity
presents, to help steal and hide it.
Alas! alas! for tbe time upon which we
hive fallen.
We must arouse ourselves and re-assert the
rights of the slaveholder, and add such guaran
tees to our Constitution as will protect ba
property from the spoliation of religions bigo
try and persecution, or else ice must give up
our Constitution and Union. Events are plac
ing the Alternative plainly liefore us Consti
tutional Union and liberty according to Ameri
can law : or else extinction of slave property,
nczro freedom, disolnt ion of the Union, anarchy
and confusion.
See Clearfield Republican, July th, 18t3.
With such a record on the Slavery
question, what confidence could be plac
ed in Woodward should he be elected
Governor. He appears to "shift hi
sails" to every breeze, a perfect time
server, and a fair representative of the
so-called Democratic party. An Abo
litionist, a Pro-slaveryite, a Secession
iet, and a Know Nothing. A pretty
record for one man, indeed !
BEAD! READ!! BEAD!!!
WOODWARD A SECESSIONIST.
"Everywhere in the South Ihe people are
liegitining to look out for the means of self de
fence. Could it be expected that they would
lie indlftereiit to such scenes as have occurred ?
that they would stand idle aud see such meas
ures concerted and carried forward for the an
ninilation sooner or later, of their property
in slaves, i Such expectations, if indulged,
are not reasonable.
The law of self defence includes rights of
property as well as person, and" it appears to
me there must be a time in tbe progress of
this conflict, if it indeed is irrepressible, when
slaveholders may lawfully fall back on their
i atural rights, and employ in defence of their
property whatever means of protection they
possess or can command. They who push on
this conflict have convinced one or more
Southern States that it has already come."
IV t hear it said, let the South go peaceably. I
S.1V let her go peaceably'

WOODWARD A KNOWNOTI1ING
In the Debates of the Constitution
al Convention of 1833, at pages 444
to 448 of the 5th volume, will be found
the following amendment by George
W. Woodward, and Ills speech in its
support :
'That the said committee be also instruct
ed to inquire into the propriety ot so attend
ing the. Constitution as to PREVENT AN Y
FOREIGNER, who mav arrive in this State af
ter the 4th dav of JiiIy". 1841. FROM ACQUI
RING THE RIGHT TO VOTE OKTO HOLD
OFFICE IN THIS COMMONWEALTH."
After reading the above, who will
denv that George W: Woodward is not
the father of Knownothingism ? He
then sought to disfranchise all Foreign
ers. What do the Irish, the French,
and the German naturalized citizens
think of it ? Will they support this
original
Knownothing
Gen. Lee advised to come to the assist
ance of Woodward.
From the Richmond Enquirer.
The suciess of the Democratic party would be
no longer dc.ubtful should Gen. Lee once more ad
vance on Meade. Parties in the United States
are so nearly balanced that the least advantage
thrown in favor oj one will insure its success.
Should the Confederate army remain quies
cent on the banks of the Rappahannock, tbe
boastful braggadocia of Yankee reports will
be confirmed, and Lincoln and Halleck will
point in triumph to the crippled condition of
tbe Confederate army as confirmation of the
great victory won in Pennsylvania. The Dem
ocrats, unable to gainsay such ecitlenee, will be
constrained to enter the contest for Speakership
shorn of the principal part of their strength
ihe disgraceful mismanagement and conduct of
the war.
General Lee must turn politician as well as
warrior, and we believe he will prove the most
successful politician the Confederacy ever pro
duced. He may so move and direct his army as
to produce political results, which, in their bear
ing upon this war, will prove more effectual than
the bloodiest victories. Let him drive Meade
into Washington, and he will again raise the
spirits of the Democrats, confirm their titnid,and
give confidence to their wavering. He wilt em
bolden tht Peace party should be' again cross
ihe Potomac, tor he will show tbe ptople of
Pennsylvania how little security they have
from Lincoln tor tbe protection oi heir homes.
It matters riot whether tbe advance be made
lor purposes of permanent occupation, or sim
ply for a grand raid ; it will demonstrate that,
in the third year of tbe . war, they are so far
from the subjugation of the Confederate States
that the defence of Maryland and Pennsylva
nia baa riot ti aitiri. . .-,

the natural and all the artificial causes which
impel us together, their fullest sway. "
Are the loyal masses w illirnr that
their country should be humbled and
disgraced by peace on such terms ?
We trow not. Then go the polls and
cast your votes for A. G. Curtin, the
true friend of the Union.
THE UNION PLATFORM,
Of August 5th, 18(53.
The loyal inen of Pennsylvania, in Conven
tion assembled, disclaiming all partiz mship,
and knowing uo cause but that of the couutry,
declare for themselves and their constituents,
1st. Their inflexible purpose to maintain,
( every tiecessary etlort. service and sacrl
tice, the Natioual Union, as the first, the high
est, the O'ost solemn and the most ov'ershad
ow iug of all political duties.
2d. That tho rebellion which threatens the
existance of the Ui:iou was without cause, was
conceived iu wickedness, organized in perju
ry, and developed by reckless violence, i
slaiued with evi-iy crime, and detestable iu
means, aud internal in purpose, mast he sup
pressed by the people of the United States, at
the destruction ot whose liberties aui the
overthrow of whole free institutions it is im
piously aimed.
3d. That in the nu luentous contest tiovv wa
ging there are, and can lie but two parlies, viz :
the one which firmly sustains the constituted
authorities of the nation in enforcing all the
laws thereof, aud iu protecting the principles
upon which the government rests, and is, there
fore, at ouce the party of law. of liberty, and
of patriotism; the other which cripples ihe
constituted authorities of the nation in enfor
cing the laws, securing the safet and preserv
ing tbe life of tbe nation, and is, therefore,
the parent ol mobs, the enemy of order and a
paiticipaot of treason, a class wi.ose detest i
ble practices' uot only give '-aid and core fort"
to the couuiior enemy, but as confescd iu
Richmond, light up these days of reliel dark
ness and disaster, and actually stimulate them
to renewed and desperate etturts to recruit
their armies, and to whom is this day ju.-tly
cbargeable for whatever of v itality the rebellion
possesses, an i whatever ot calamity or afflic
tion the further protraction of the contest may
involve. But for Northern synipathizeis.iind
the hopes their treasonable existance inspired,
tbe rebellion would have sunk under the stag
gering blows dealt it at G.ttysburg, Vicks
burg and Port Hudson.
4th. That wholly without sympathy fur the
men who havi made this war against a tree
Republican Government, or for the system of
human bondage, in whose interest it wis in
stigated. or the cause of despotic principles to
which it is now devoted, this Couventn.fi de
clares all engaged therein, while so eutged,
to be worthy ouly of our patriotic hate: aud
iu like spirit we denounce as doubly recreant
and base those residents of the loyal States
who tolerate this treason, would utiiliate with
armed traitors, and again surrender oul gov
ernment and liberties to their keeping.
otb. That Abraham Lincoln, the President
ot the United Mates, by his discharge ol bis
most onerous duties in tnesedark dajs of civ
il war has won for himself the affections and
regard of the American people, and always
bearing himseli clear in his high office, has
maintained tbe integrity of the Union, and
kept our honor untarnished throughout the
world,-aud to him and his administration, it
principles and its policy, we give our hearty
approval, and pledge an earnest aud euthusi
atic Support.
6th. That we tender to the gallant sons of
Pennsy Ivnnia now in the armies and navies of
the republic, the thanks of a grateful people
for their unselfish ai'd heroic valor; that we
mourn for those who have sealed in their blood
their devotion to their country, and will cher
ish their memories tenderly and proudly ;
while to the glorious survivors we give the as
surance that the last dollar and the last lite
shall be given to reinforce them until the old
flag floats in final victory.
7lh. Resolved, That Governor Curtin, by
the effective support be has given the Fede
ral Government in the prosecution of the war,
aud his vigilant care for our soldiers alike iu
the field, the camp and the hospital, has giv
en Pennsylvania a proud pre-eminence among
the loyal States, aud himself, to the that ks ol
all her loyal citizens, and in placing him a
gain in nomination, we but give expression
to the spontaneous wishes of tbe Common
wealth be has seivcd so well, to present, for
their suffrages, a patiiotic statesman, who is
alike the friend of the soldier and the favor
ite of tbe people.
8th. Resolved, That the amendments propo
sed to tbe Constitution, in giving our soldiers
in the field tho right of suffrage, merits our
hearty approval, and will receive our united
support, and that we recommend the conven
tions of loyal men throughout Ihe State, to
pledge all candidates tor the Legislature to
vote for it.
dih. Resolved, That we hereby declare our
unalterable attachment to the doctrines of the
fathers of the Republic, as enunciated in the
declaration by Presideut Monroe, that there
shall be no interference by a European or for
eign power, with Governmental afiairs upon
this continent.
10th. Resolved, That, in Hon. Daniel Ag
new, we present an accomplished jurist, a
pure patriot, and a loyal citizen. He will a
dorn tbe highest judicial tribunal of the Com
monwealth, and give additional security to
the rights of person and property.
' Tbe resolutions were unanimously adopted.
Mr. Ueichhold, of Jefferson, offered the fol
lowing, which was unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That the bold and determined
stand taken by tbe Administration, in summa
rily arresting persons found to be guilty of
traitorous practices, merits our hearty com
mendation, and that in performing this part
of its military duties, were necessary for tbe
iDblic safety, we pledge it onr hearty eo-op-
