IL seems superfluous to say to the people of

Through the most trying and difficult times
that ever embarassed a Governor of our State,
he has conducted the affairs of his office with
the most eininenCand marked success, calling

the profound mind of a statesman.
We have not spoken of his character ns n

of the rebellion, i proud arid glorious. She
has never faltered in her honest allegiance to
our common country :sho has poured money,

JUDGE WOODWARD
Before I he rebellion there were men of ex
Ironic southern principles, who defended o iih
all their ability, the institution of shivery,
and what was termed the rights of the south.
When they saw the ruin which their unwise
course
_produced—when they saw those for
whom they hat ,:ontentled attempt to destroy
the Union, and upon its ruins build a Milita•
ry despotism, the corner stone of winch was

In December ISGO a meeting was held in
Philadelphia for the purpose of consulting,
upon the state of the country, and, if possible,
suggest some way in which war might, be
averted, and the then widening breach healed
At that meeting were ass.mtbled men of all
pylitinal opinions. Judge Woodward WAS JUJ
of the speakers, and in the course of his're
'narks, ivhich male loyal :Ben blush, said :

What are they Doing ?
What are,those who openly oppose the war
for the preservation of the Union, and who
are giving aid and comfort. to the rebellion,

Working for the Woodward ticket. What, ars

crying for the " Union as it was, and the con

What are those doing who are continually de

it all they possibly can ? Working for the
Woodward:ticket. What nre the Copper
heads doing? Working for the Woodward
ticket. Why are they working for the Wood

for the Union ticket is practieal aid to the
slaveholder's rebellion. '

loyal Keystone State—will you lead your aid

every vote oast fur the Woodward ticket, is
aid to Jeff Davis.

should not have noticed this; bht the Ledger
is an independent newspaper of high eharac•
ter and largo influence, maintaining a great
circulation, more particularly among those
who vote the Democratic ticket., and who it is
important for the Democratic demagogues to
mislead. We do not doubt that the Ledger
reporter has truthfully stated the substance
of the information he received, but the mem
ber of the Democraiio State Committee who
furnished the intelligence practised a gross,
and outrageous imposture, in order to use the
influence of the Ledger to mislead the public.
This Democralic address was published last
week in the Evening ,rouinal, and it dueS .
not contain one solitary paragraph, word, or
line, in favor of the war under any phase.—
It is like all the addresses of Ifughei' last
full, a labored assault on the abolitionists, the
nationid government, its policy, acts, and the
whole course taken by the northern Stities in
this contest. •
to the eery first paragraph it pictures, ns
the results of the war thus tar, ow) , a great
public debt, burdiensome co. scrlption, the
.I,tdi notion of our commerce by English built
Pirate ships, and the c trying or an etopire in

to the everlant lag sermon on the Itggres.!•ions
of the abolitionists u i the beginning and eauqe

strain that Ilughe , rendered notorious by his
addresses last fall .If Colonel Biddle wrote

Gov. A. G. Curtin
The New York Sun, the organ of th l eMasses
in the Empire City, refers to the nomination
of U•,vernur Carlin by the Pittsburg Couven•
tion in the f Ill,winq terms:
' , Governer Curtin is a man of unquestioned
energy, and is certainly the must available
candidate of his party, and the only one who
co 111 have any chance of success."
The Sun [night with equal truth and force
have gone further, and observed Gt( re-clec
lion of Gov. Curtin is beyond all doubt. His
re n'ornination is hails 1 by our soldiers every
with iucrre rejoicing. No (lover!' ,r of any ,

The Money Luminary says: " Wu care riot

to the people, and he enjoys their confidence
in an eminent degree. liar is the choice of
the masses, and they will stand by him at the
ballot box, regardless of enemies from what
ever quarter they may come.
The Lancaster Examiner and Iferald speaks
of Governor Curtin's nomination in the fol
lowing terms: " The renomination of Gov
ernor Andrew G. Curtin, by the Union Cons
vention, at Pittsburg, is but a response to the
heat ty and earnest wishes of the people of
Pennsylvania. It is a glorious tribute to a
gallant and faithful public, officer. No man
ever more heartily aria thoroughly command
ed the con'ti'dence 'and love of the whole peo
ple."
The Franklin Repository says of Governor
Curtin "In obedience to the call of the toy.
al men of Pennsylvania, dm is again before the
people for their suffrages. The responsible
trust ha:3 been accepted, and unless Pennsyl
vanians shall turn upon themselves with sui
cidal hands, when the old flag. is about to
wave again over a united Republic, he will be
chosen by the largest, popular majority ever
cast in the State."
The Harrisburg Telegraph snys: " Identi,

the success of that war also becomes the sue
cces of Andrew G. Curtin. Ile has risked his
health and hie life in the furtherance of that
cause. Ile has Halted his reputation. and is

It must aggravate the rebels to see a sem.

but such paragraphs as the following, from
''Mudaill, Greasy Mechanic & C 0.," they must
find very hard to boar, inasmuch 119 they tell

scarce in the rebel market :
