How STANDS'THR CABo—The war has now
bruin prosecuted with the• Whole strength ef the
9overnment, for morethan two years; and whe t
have we accomplished toward restoration - of 1
the Union?. Absolutely nothing. The polio) ,
of the Government has almost entirely stopped
voluntary onlistMent, and the -conscription
,ha s
failed tolurniah men as fast as wasted by the .
war. Still we have too few men in the field, to
even hold , the advantage we had
,a few months
ago.' In addition, it ii now evident* to every
One that'we are drifting into ewer...with France,
And probably. England. • In this emir gency—
when the future looks black, and the "boldest
holds his brerith;" what word of comfort, or
hope doer the Administration . give the' people.
We have been promised the war would•he and
ad in thirtythen sixty—then ninety , daYa.—,
We arinow told by' 'the president- not to be
sanguine of early_ peace—that we have no' way
but to keep on fighting;' or to use his words:—
"heep pegging awar" How long. must,' how
long eon state.ofthings- , continue? e'
Th
debt %of 'the country , already equals the value
'of its property real and personal.' To place our
armies in an effective condition will requite--
taking the recent, draft for example—everyman
at the lierth fit for Cluty.,, It 'seems fo.lie con—
Ceded that another draft, fdr eix hundred thous
and men is contemplated—certainly necessary .
—which will 'exhaust the entire entollment.— . l
This, without foreign Interference, will but last
a year Whet 'then. Who can- answer.
•, 'lt is not much wonder that the Administra
tion deem it necessary to stifle the expression,
of thismuch abused, long euffering•people , by
declaring martial law, throughout the land.
The President said, in his inaugural, the
eountrrbelongs :n the people who inhabit it."
Instead of that being the case, we find the prop
erty of the people already wasted, tile country
.draiied of its able—bodied male , population, anJ
the liberty of the citizen taken away;, and fur
ther we are informed thatit is treason to ques
tion the acts of the Administration, and spb
jects the citizen so doing to I?afiishment, im
prisonment and death, as slay please the humor
of gi the Government." . .
The Abolitionist. claim•to• be great friends
General Jackson. We object to- this slander of
the 'dead patriot. It makes our hlood boil to
hear men who have, almost to the present mo.
.ment,. called him •an se old Tyrant,' who ought
to have been hung;" now .claim to be "Jack—

We have quoted the Pittsburg Gazette and
Dispatch in proof of the charge. Of fraud against
Governor Curtin. Here is another bit of dam—
ning evidence.. The' Philadelphia Inquirer of
the 21st of July last said: •..
“It is a sad commentary that, while Aotis—
ands of brave men rushed to arms to defend the
State from invasion, and while the Governor
was,tickling them' with honeyed words, his
minfons . and- followers were permitted, like liar
--
pies; to deprive them of food, and to compel
them - to make long and weary marches without
even-.the poOr ltixury of crackers.and pork. .It
is a. matter of record.that, while these contrac—
tore were receiving enormous sures, the Phila
delphia-soldiers were placed on an allowance of
a cracker a' day, for . several days together,
thanks to the neglect and, corruption 'of the Ex
ecutive Department of Pennsylvania.". • ' •
