MASS MEETING
OF TII F. UNCONDITIONAL
"E_T
Of Cumberland County
At a preliminary meeting of the Union
Executive (kin in it tee, held in the Bo
rough of Carlisle, September 14th inst.,
it was determined to hold a Grand Mass
Meeting of the Unconditional Union Men
of Cumberland County,
IN CARLISLE,
On Sulunlay, Ocl,Aer 10th, 1863.
The untoward circumstances in which
our country has been placed by the most
wicked rebellion that has ever taken place
in the history of the world, demands of
those who truly love their Country and
prefer the perpetuation of institutions
which give breath and life to •Lile-rty
throughout the world to be watchful and
vigilant in this our beloved Country's hour
of peril. It Ts necessary to thwart
the machinations of those whose motto is
"rule or ruin ;" whose hearts are desirous
that the South should triumph ; who are
constantly denouncing the Administration
in its effQrts to crush the rebellion, by the
very rnettis which the legislative branch
of the National Government has granted
it, and who would rather "rule in Hell
than servo in Heaven." It is most neces
sary, therefore, that the true, loyal men
of the Country should gird on their ar
mor :to meet these dastards and defeat
•
their purposes.
We say then, to the people of Cunibe.r
land County come to Carlisle on Satur
day the 10th of October next, and show
these disguised traitors that you well un
derstand their purposes, and are fully pre
pared to meet and deal with them as they
so richly deserve.
Let us have a Grand Rally -- A glori
ous meeting. To tlie ramparts, soldiers!
and prepare for the warfare ! Young men
of Cumberland County—old men of Cum
berland rally and come in your strength
and pride, and join your voices with ours
in swelling' a shout for freedom—for free
men, that will be heard from the Dole
ware to the Lakes. Come with drums
beating, and banners flying. Come Re
publicans, Come Union men, come Dem
ocrats and hear the principles of the
Union Party expounded and discussed.
Honest Democrats, we Invite you, and
insist upon it, that you come and hear for
yourselves. Come one, come all, devote
one day to the consideration of the mighty
interests involved in the coining contest !
Eminent speakffs from abroad will be
present, whose—inames will be announced
in due time. By order of the Executive
Committee.
J. M. WEAKLEY, Chairman
M'eeting in Carlisle
On Thursday evening next, there will be
a meeting of the loyal Union citizens of
Carlisle and vicinity in •

13Z1:1
Judge Woodward's Disloyalty. -
In the early part of the present canvass .
Cod. Tone, in a speech - delivered at Mount ,
Holly Springs, in which lie reviewed the pc •
litical record of Judge Woodward, asserted
that the Judge was in effect a secessionist. Ho
Made copious quotations from his (Wood
ward's) speeches clearly establishing the
charge, and then, as additional.and entirely
trustworthy testimony to the same end, refer :
red to (lon. ii. B. Wright, Judge Hale & Judge
Lion, whose recent personal interviews with
Judge Woodward, fixed the truth of the charge
of disloyalty firmly upon him. It. E. Shapley,
chairman of the Democratic standing commit
tee of this coun(y, awaking to the fact that
the loyal Democrats of this county were fast
deserting the support of a candidate whose en
tire record was so black with treason, saw that
unless some dodge was resorted to for the
purpose of deceiving this loyal element of his
party that their cause was utterly hopeless.—
To accomplish his evil purposes, the mean
trick of misrepresenting Col. 'tom's statement
was resorted to, and Mr. S. writes a letter to
GOV. Woodward, giving the name of Judge Ila'l
as the authority used by Col. Toun,and reques
ting him to refute the charge. To this Mr
Woodward replies by saying that he never
knew Judge Hall, and that ho is opposed to
secession, and the " fatiatioism which caused
it." Thus by the most despicable cheat and
lie, the copperheads have attempted to cover
up the infamous sent iments of Gov. Woodward.
But Cul. Toon, in a rejoinder which we give
below, so fully and entirely refutes the cal
umny, and fixes Judge Woodward's status so
unmistakably, that he leaves us nothilf else to
say but that the fortunes of a party whose
success depends upon such pitiful pettifogging
must be low indeed. But to the rejoinder:

Copperhead Meeting in Mechanic s-
burg
Friday evening last was the time fixed for
a grand turn out of the coppery reptiles of
Mechanicsburg and vicinity. Hon. Saml.
Hepburn and C , ..doncl Wm. M. Penrose of
Drainsville Nine, were on the cards for speech
es, and a glorious time was anticipated. Wen
the time arrived for the ball to open a large,
enthusiastic and respectable meeting consist
ing of Jim. Green, Charley Fleming, Dr. Jno
Bowman the Glossbrenner candidate for As
sembly, and Rufus E. Shapley, of letter writ
ing notoriety. had assembled. After sagely
coup selling with each other as to the condi
tion of affairs, the quartette agreed that Dr,
Bowman should read Judge Wooditard's lat
ter, and that the meeting Shoupl be adjourn.
ed.— By this time some half dozen Union men
had gathered around, and the Dr. began. The
nervous and agitated, manner with which ho
stumbled through the recital of Judge Wood
ward's pitiful apology for soufhein rebellion,
can be accounted for from the fact that this
was his (the Dr's.) first appearance before so
largo an nudienc.!, So ended this enthusias
tic, Woodward deuMnstration.
tar 1N73 atated that some of our.
Assessors refuse to assess individuals who
do not personally appear before them, al
though-they knew such persons have just as
good a right to vote as themselves with the
exception that they are not properly assess
ed. What is the intention of the law-? Is it
that those who may be, siek, — alMo'ni from
home, and not able to o.turn till within ten
days of the elcc9on, are to be deprived of
their vote, simply because they have not
personally appeared befoie the Assessor,
though they 'rimy have resided in the district
since last 's ring, and the Assessor's own
negligence-or-intentional- omission may be
the sole cause of his non-assessment?, •
, See to it friond's that evory Union voter
present or , absent is
,assessed TO DAY. If
any copperhead assaessor refuses to assess an
absent voter on the application of his friends
lot us have the name of such assessor, and
we will ventilate it thoroughly.
A CONFESSION.
The effort now bob* made by the Demo
cratic candidateS anffpoliticians to simulate
a patriotic devotion the:national Union,
and a dispo'sition tultnitipport the war for the
suppression of the rebellion, besides being a
departure from their whole previous course,
and a self-stultification profoundly humila
ting is a confession that the Union men were
right from the beginning ;Aliat the war poli
cy of the Administration, is the true policy,
and that there is no other road to a satisfac
tory peace than by a vigorous prosecution of
the war.
Some of their newspaper organs in this
State admit that it was a great blunder for
the copperheads who misled the party to
contend, as they did, for an unconditional
peace ; that the people are overwhelmingly
in favor of the war , that the preservation of
the Union is paramount in the popular heart,
and that none who oppose measures intend
ed to maintain its integrity can hope to a
chieve success.. This is why they are now
again de4perately recurring to the worn out
expedient of using the fame of Democratic
generals to screen their pernicious doctrines.
This is why General McClellen has been
trotted out again, his sores rubbed up afresh
with - salt and water, and an immense army
supscription for him started.
This is why Judge Woodward's son, who
is a soldier, is brought forth in a statement
to cover up the heresies of his father and
why that father himself is stimulated to try
his hand at a patriotic let,iar, in which how
ever, he has made a disastrous failure. It is
all a confession that the entire course of
this copperhead, alias Democratic, alias
State rights, alias conservative, alias Consti
tutional Union party has been a tremen
dous mistake ; that it has already lost them
the elections of which they felt so sure, and
in all probability the Presidential contest.
And if they were wrong in principle, how
horribly wrong they were in act. Jlowsuici
th-e i:tit - Measures which have
made the war successful ; how silly to un
derrate the heroic men of the north who have
gained for the republic its glorious victories;
how absurd to pretend to oppose secession
while- approving of all upon which it rested;
how childish to dream of undoing the results
already achieved by the struggle in the e
mancipation acts of Missouri, West Virginia,
the district cf Columbia and the territories?
hc e moo ratic..ps.rty_has- lived—to -pro
nounee its own doom, how Much better it
would be for the leaders to give up the con
test honorably than to go down in disgrace to
posterity as enemies to their country in the
hour of its greatest peril. Were they now to
act upon their own conviction that this war is
righteous, and must succeed; were they to as•
semble t heir misguided followers together, and
telling them that the time bad arrived when
the interests of the nation demanded the dis
bandment of parties and the aggregation of
the people in one great popular mass to carry
the war to a triumphant conclusion, they
would win for themselves an immortality of
fame, and give to the struggle so mighty an
impetus, that the nations of the earth would
no longer hesitate to believe in our power to
succeed.
We place this before the people of Pennsyl
vania now as the strongest argument against
the election of the Dmnocratlic ticket. That
Party is rel,grtieci by.Lh.e.Lehele.ns-iusympathy
with the rebellion It is so regarded by Etirepe
also. No matter what may be Om vie we of
the party itself, its success in Pennsylvania or
Ohio would be a terrible blow to the Union.—
If at such a crisis, when the whole civilized
world is in suspense awaiting the decision,
this Democratic organization were guided
solely by patriotism, it would abandon the
contest, for the sake of the Union, and, sur-
•endering all party distinctions, unite with us
n one mighty and overwhelming dernonstra-
tion of the faith of the whole free north in the
great republic. The fact that the lust of of
fice is too strong to permit them to make this
sAcrifice is enough to condemn them in the
eyes of the woOd. They cannot rise to the
level of patriotic devotion. They have court •
ed persecution; they have longed for arrest;
they have naturalized treason and made it a
household pet; they have hatched conspira
cies and or.rried on diplomatic intrigues in
vain.' .Fairly, openly, manfully they have been
met in free discussion and beaten at all points.
until, disgraced, ashamed and discouraged,
they see defeat everywhere staring thin in
the face.
Keep it Beforo the People.
The people of Ohio and Pennsylvania
cannot do better than keep this extract from
the traitor Maury's letter continually before
their minds :
"rallandighant waits and watches over the
border, pledged, if elected Governor of Ofrio,
to array it against Lincoln and lies sear, and
go for peace."
Friend's of the Union, put this utterance of
the rebel emissary, now in Europe, before
any man who, under a misapprehension, is
likely to vote for the blatant Ohio dema
gogue and friend of rebels, VALLANDIGHAM,
pr his brother Copperhead, the would be
Governor of Pennsylvania, WoouwAtm.

The Rebels and Their Allios
It is apparent front the anxiety expressed
by the leading papers of Richmond for the
success of the "Democratic party" in Penn
sylvania and other Northern States, that the
rebels regard the said "Democrats" as their
friends and allies, and that their chief object
of hope u.t, this moment lies in the success
OF that party in the October and November
elections. Should the party of the Union
carry Pennsylvai in, .Ohio and other North
ern States, the rebel cause will be abandon
ed in despair, and the whole thing will quiet
ly collapse ; but should Woonw,t Ito and VA 1,-
LA Dlfill AM be elected, or either of them, it
will inspire new hope and energy, and the
war will be resumed with terrible earnest
ness on their part, and thousands of our pa
triot soldiers' lives will be sacrificed. The

crushing both.

Soldiers Right to Vote
In the Digest of Election Laws with which,
we, believe; each Election Board is furnished,
on pages 15:)-6, Sec. 20, is the following
"No body of troops in the army of the
United States, or of Commonwealth, shall be
present either armed or unarmed, - during the
time of such election : Procided, That noth
ing herein contained shall be so c nstrued
as to prevent any officer or soldier from ex
ercising the right of stiff, age in the election
district to which he may belong, if otherwise
qualified according to law."
We perceive the foregoing section of the
Election Laws, except the Proviso, publish
ed in several Democratic papers. It is un
doubtedly thus garbled for the purpose of
producing the false impression, that soldiers
have no right to vote even if present on the
day of election, in the districts to which they
respectively belong. It is a very shallow
device to deprive then of their right of suf
frage.

Those who think, or pretend to think, that
the existing national troubles may be compos
ed and the Contest adjusted by compromise,
as contemplated by the Vallandighana and
Woodward platforms, overlook some impor
tant facts contained in the declarations ante,
leaders of the rebellion. These Northern
sympathizers with the rebellion forget that
the traitors mean nothing less that the death
of the nation, while loyal men mean its life.
Hence there is nothing to compromise. One
side or%ther must wholly fail. Tho__,nation
must either live or die.
The rebels, know perfectly well that for
them safety lies only in success. Short of
that, no matter what compromise you make,
nor what acts of amnesty you pass, if the
Federal Union still survives under the Consti
tution of our fathers, they are ruined, driven
into obscurity, and their names clothed with
infamy. Hence they, through all their or
gans, spurn the idea of over living mere with
you under the same Government. Though
you should humble yourselves
,in terms the
most abject, even going to them barefoot,
with your arms pinioned and halters about
your necks, they would not receive you into
the crowd of their vassals. All your sugges•
Limas of an ormistic and reconciliation only
intensify their expression of scorn and loath
ing. Says one of their organs:
"While the North begins to see the folly
and inipossibility of attempting to conquer
the South, they are not yet ready to grant
our just demands. They hope still to chain
us by some specious compromise to the corpse
of the old Union. We would not reunite with
them if they would, one and all, consent to
occupy the same position of depredation
which they aimed to rivet, on us. We could
not consent t r hold the ...Vorthern States as pros
inces."—Richmond Enquirer, January G.
Another indulges in these words :
"If the whole Yankee race should fall down
in the dust to-morrow and pray us to he' their
MaSterd, lee would spurn them even as slal , r3.
We are aware [lint many person believe that
the party of which the Brookes and Woods
are representatives, desire and design to re_
slere_peace. .We du not befit:Ye they are in

on condition t f our returning to the Union,
and They arc fools enough to believe that a

pockets when they talk of reconciliation and

A third varies the language:
" We, have committed many errors

been in regarding them as something bettor

menials. and fitted only for menial duties.—

How could this be, with these terrible words,

him in December of 1800, just after Mr.
Lincoln's election, and seared into every sol
dier's memory ?
"Everywhere in the South (116 people are

The Late War Ne'ws and the Copperheads
The reverses at Sabine Pass, near Chatta
nooga, and in east Tennessee, have proved a
perfect godsend to the copperhead newspapers.
They have been so crushed down by the weight
of Union victories, south, north, east and
west, that they could no longer complain of
the condition of the war, or prate of the popu
lar dissatisfaction with the Administration
management. But right on the heels of the
victory in Maine came these reverses in tho
field, and at once rises the loud chorus from
every copperhead orgten that the blame rests
on the imbecility of the War Department.
They are so astute, so learned in military
affairs, so well up in the campaign, that they
show promptly how•the whole thing could
have been better done by Democratic politic
ians at Washington, we presume, for they
dare not say a word against the Democratic
generals. There is Hallook, the Democratic
General in chief, who planned the whole cam
paign ; Stanton, the Democratic Secretary of
War, late of Buchanan's Cabinet, who ap•
proved it ; Rosecrans, the Democratic com
mander of the Army of the Cumberland ;
Franklin, (he Democratic cortiMiander of the
Sabine Pass expedition ; and Grant, the Dem
ocratic General who sent Steele to conquer
Arkansas—these escape blame, except, per
haps, Stanton who had least to do with
the matter of any of them, and, there
fore, comes in for the most censure.
If there had only been a Buchanan or
Pierce for President, a Floyd for Secretray of
War, a Toucey for Secretary of the Navy,
bow much better all this would have been
managed; how much better they did manage
when they held the reins, especially in the
Florida war and the Utah campaign. Gen.
Franklin had the whole management of the
Sabine Pass expedition- Had he succeeded,
the whole copperltead Tress would have rung
with his praise, and at, the same time have
pointed to this victory as a proof of the injus
tice done him by the Administration. But as
he failed, the IVar Department is at eault.: , of
course.

Misr:art:. I.—l have observed in days gone
by, and even at the present time, a large class
of individuals; belonging to a certain Political

and abusive epithets ; on their "opponents"
and “betters." But how they wince when
that appropriate term •'eopperhead," is applied
to them ; nutwithstandiug they display their
equivalent in worth, namely, part of an "old
cent." And then it is such a biting term.

How very appropriate ! wit hal their low cun

ere they struck forth their "d eadly fangs."—

of all terms ; Copperhead snake to that 'Bean,

dear friends" would it not be a fitting tribute,
to brawl that Traitor—Bell and Conservative
party, with the name, style and title, of Blow
my 'vipers. For are they not wonderful on
"blowing" though it be a small, twisty, slimy
concern. Conservatives, being on no side,
publicly, having no platform, i, e, no princi
ples : apparently the same class of beings,
whom the Great and merciful God so terribly
abhors, and detests ; pro.sounciog fearful
judgements, on the "lukewarm" in heart,—
held in utter contempt, by their fellow men.

It is about the same proportion with the oth

we owe much to him ; he has treated us with
a fatherly care and arotection, from the tno

everything that could be done for our good

copperheads, and ao culled Democrats know
the strong faith the soldiers have in him, and
they also know, Livid were the soldiers allowed
to vote they would send home such a felting re

Polls, and give their votes towards the, re
election of Andrew G Curtin. The Govern,-
men( and Administration must be supported•
by the 'old keystone," and in the past two
and a half years, Gov. Curtin bias proved
himself the 'Tana for the times." This rebel
lion we believe is fist coming to n close ;—all'
that is required is the united effort of Govern
ment nod People to strike the last telling'
blows. It needs but oa long pull, a strong
pull and a pull tittoget Mir" and all will again
be right, and our country restored to its dr

As soldiers of the state of Pensylvania we
cannot otherwise than (eel au intense interest,
in the coming election. Let the Loyal Peo-
.pie rise up in their 'night, and give such a
crushing blow to "copperheads" and "Val
landigliam Sympathisers," as will forever blot
them out of ezistence in Pennsylvania. As
soldiers we are in favor of no "Peace or com

DEA it I 1 E ILA D— Th e weather in this re
gion has recently changed to such a remark

incessantly cold days sr.() nights, necessita

As a natural consequence to this sudden
change, sickness is prevalent, and our morn
ing sick reports teem with cases of ague,
fever and other local d Leases. " Old Boreas"
is visiting us early this season, and if tiler
present " cold snap . ' is Is precursor of what

Conscripts daily arrive and are sent to the
various regiments iu "the front-" Squads
of Rebel prisoners are brought in and sent
to Washington_ On Friday 178 arrived,
among whom were a considerable number
of ollicers. Three of Roseby's cut-throats
were in the number ; they were dressed in
splendid style of Federal (Akers? uniforms,.
the product of their thieving operations.—
One n•nned WITIIVRS whose parents live in
Alexandria, via.; allowed a spechl guard to.
take him to his people, and obtain some
clothes, &c., !low different our soldiers are..
treated in Rich mum! I It is a glaring out
rage that such things should be allowed
pecially in Alexandria. Numbers of ladies
collected on the wharf to see their friends off,
.they showered pies, cakes and fruit by the
basket-full, uniting their ravenous, hungry
and filthy '• Southern chivalry." Handker
chiefs were given them, also novels and
reading matter. They were cheered with
such expressions as—" Keep , up your spirits,
our cause will never tail," &c. The boat
moved off amid the cheers and waving hand
kerchiefs of the sece`sh sympathizers on
shore yet no arrests were made and " no
body hurt"—linion!abldiers must stand as
spectators to such'proceedings, and all wa
can do is " grin and bear."
We have occa-ional visits from our friend
Jxo. W. ALLEN, Ass*t. Surgeon U. S. Hos-
pital on Duke street. During the tempora
ry absence of the Chief Surgeon " Doc"
"runs the rte;" He is attentive to his
patients, and is always at his post.
Being deprived of the glorious preroga
tive gnaranteed us in the right of suffrage,
we have studiously refrained, as soldiers,
from "dabbling in politics;" but we cannot
close our eyes to the immensity of the-event
soon to transpire in our great State. All are
anxious as to the result of the'Pennsylvania
election. Pennsylvania soldiers would be
recreant to all feelings of honor and patriot
ism did they hope other than that Andrew
G. Curtin would be elected to fill the chair
for the ensuing , three years. Company "A"
and "H" of this regiment are from Cumber
land County and theygo almost unanimous
ly for Curtin. In company "A" he woyld
receive about 28 votes, and I.VoodukiFd 2.
And so with ihe other companies—Wood
ward 'night possiblp receive 8 or 10 votes iu
this regiment. You eau form a slight idea
of the soldiers' appreciation of Gov. Curtin,
who, in spite of the cavillings of parties to
the ctintrary,,has indubitably proved himself
their friend.
