Outiu's Majority.
The Abolition press exults loudly over :
the election of the shoddy candidate ; but j
when all the frauds by which his election
was secured are laid bare, the leaders of the I
i
Abolition party will have more cause for ;
shame than for rejoicing. We boldly as- j
sert, and candidly believe that Judge :
"Woodward was honestly elected, but the '
voice of the people was overpowered by
Federal authority. To such a victory
we leave them to rejoice over. Ourtin's j
majority is but little over 15,000, which
show?, that- withal the influences of
money and the patronage of the Federal '
Administration, they have made no gains ,
over the Democratic party except those
which were purchased by fraud, as the
Democratic vote this year fchows an in
crease of over thirty thousand, compared
with last year's vote, which could not
have been counterbalanced by any other
than the foul means resorted to by the
friends of Curtin. It is to this increased
vote in favor of Democracy that we look
for hope, and while we regret the defeat
Hon. Geo. W. Woodward for the Execu
tive Chair of Pennsylvania, we shall re
gard it as the precursor of a future and
more permanent triumph
;f Democratic
principles over all the miserable herc.-ies
with which we are now assailed.
The Administration and its hireling
press all over the country, chum the re
sult of the late election, as an endorse
ment of their crimes ; but we have too
much respect for the honesty and integrity
of the people, of the Northern States, to
lielievc for one mom nf, that they would
endorse all the illegal acts of this Ad
ministration. No, the peeple have voted
against the measures of the Abolition
party, but were unable to contend against
the strong arm of the Fedirlal Executive
and the influence of their own taxes
squandered for the maintenance of usurped
authority. lut though defeat -d, the
Democratic parly is not dead, but will
yet rise in its primitive majesty and assert
the rights of American citizens ; for its
principles are t ternal and will outlive the
miserable heresies of Abolitionism and
our six foot government which has espoused
them.
C-J" We visited Greensburg last week
and had the pleasure of shaking hands :
with our editorial friends, Mr. Keenan of
the JJcinocrut, Mr. Laird of the A rgun and i
Major Stokes of the llrjmhlican ; all wor- i
thy laborers in the cause of Dciivcracv, i
to- which the majorities of old Westmore
land bear evidence.
While there, we also visited Mr. Stokes'
farm, which is within view of the town,
and were pleased to remark the taste and
elegance with which the fences, shrubbery
and- out-buildings were arranged. We
treasure a fond remembrance of the Jla
j ir's hospitality, and shall be ever glad to
renew our friendship when occasion pre
sents itself.
C-j We call the attention of soldiers
and others having military claims, to the
card of Messrs. DcDowell and Maguire,
in to-days paper, who are engaged in j
collecting military claims, securing i?n- !
sion? '
j. Where Will They Stop T
Perhaps it might take a sage to prog
nosticate the end of our tro'ubles or scan
the future of our ill-fated country ; but it
requires no prophet's eye to foresee the f
folly and madness into which the Aboli- j
tionists are intent upon plunging. I lav- !
ing secured the late elections by fraud, j
they increase their impudence and insult
the people, by claiming' the result of those
elections as an endorsement of their wick
ed acts. The following extract from the
New York Tribune, is a fair, sample of
fanaticism for the deliberations of next
Congress.
" We now forewarn Copperheads of
all degrees that one of the first and most
important measures to come before the
next Congress will be to make slavery in all
parts of the United States an odious crime
forever hereafter, inflicting the penalty of
death ujo:i whensoever shall dare to vio
late it after it shall have been a law.
And we moreover assure negro haters and
negro owners, and all their backers of
whatever name, that such a bill ivill pass
both branches of Congress by a very large
majority, and be hailed by the people as
the brightest and best of all the great and
good and constitutional n medics for trea
son and rebellion which have been invo
ked by or din ing the most glorious ad
ministration of Father Abraham."
Slovr C'uriin vras Elected.
The frauds by which Curtin's election
was secured were so palpable that his
friends dare not deny them. Our exchan
ges from every quarter spoak of the unfair
means exerted in favor of his election.
We select one or two extracts, as a sam
ple of how the election was conducted
through the entire State.
Fnm the Somerset Democrat.
Never were such outrages committed in
this county, upon, the elective franchise, as
there were on last Tuesday, by the Abo
litionists. In every election district thev
committed some fraud or infringed on the
rights of voters. We shall but mention a
few as samples of the many. In Mi 1 he
creek they attempted to vote a nigger and
would have done so but for the protest of
a Democratic officer in the election boaid.
In Jenner they burned the Democratic
tickets and an Altolition mob stoned and
otherwise abused a Democratic voter six
ty years of age. In Somerset town-ship,
they Wast themselves of voting six illegal
tickets by minors and persons otherwise
disqualified, at one time. In Summit,
Eikliek, and other townships, they threat
ened to discharge tenants, laborers ic,
provided the' would not yote the Aboli
tion ticket
In this borough the- got up a mob to
intimidate Democratic voters. Three
Abolitionists at one time fell to beating a
Democrat, but the sequel proved that he
was man enough for the three. Republi
cans who intended to vote the Democrat- I
ic ticket were bribed not to go to the
wills, and corrupt Democrats they bought
over at high prices. It is certain that
several hundred fraudulant votes were pol
led in the count-. For evidence of this
we need but to refer to the immense poll
of -1,802 votes, 300 more than were ever
before polled even before the war had
taken away a 1,000 men. lint notwith
standing this fraud and foul p'ay, the
Democrats have made a noble, tight.
Thev have increased their vote over last
year 31 1 , and over their vote two years
ago more than than 7 00.
f Fr. the Iitlifonte Watvhnasn.j
The Abolitionists have carried tho
State by the most monstrous and outra
geous frauds that were ever perpetrated
in any country win. re the people- prefm
ded to revere and respect tho sanctity of
the election franchise and t he purity of
the bailot Wx, and they openly boast that
they could have carried Centre county
had they only ten dayst more time. In
one tense of the word this is undoubtedly
true. Had they continued for" ten days
longer concocting and perpetrating such
frauds as they actually did practice in
this county, Wyond doubt they would
have drowned the voice of tho patriotic
and law-abiding citizens of this county as
effectually as they did the voice of the
people of the Slate at large We will
mention some of these acts of frauds and
outrage, rcserviug, however, for a future
article a full ventilation of them.
In this borough they had imjorted A.
C. Toner, Dr. Wm. Irwin, Daniel Welsh,
and many others who have not fur years
resided in lielfonte, and voted them here,
upon their oaths that this was their resi
dence, when some of them arc keeping
house, paying taxes and voting in the
District of Columbia. Tn Spring town
ship a young man who less than three
months ago was exempted from the draft,
on the oath of his father and uncle that
he was not twenty -ears old, voted on
age, himself swearing that he was be
tween the ages of twenty-one and twenty
two! In Patton township they voted an
unnaturalized foreigner, because he had
been in the service one year ; the Aboli
tion judge of election declaring that our
State legislature has passed a - law per
mitting all persons to vote who had serv
ed one year, whether they were citizens i
or not ! In Ddmsides township, an !
iuoimon ooam aruirrarny threw out of
count over thirty Democratic votes with
out any reason whatever.

Secretary Chase, in his speech here,
spoke of his visit West, and that he got
rid of his Greenbacks. His words were :
44 Since I left Cincinnati I have lost my
voice and nearly all my greenbacks." He
does not give the amount of greenbacks
that he 44 lost" with his 44 voice," but,
according to Addison, Philip of Macedon
used "greenbacks" instead of his voice
to destroy the liberties of the Athenian
jieople. The people of Athens not hav
ing tle advantage of 44 Common Schools"
like the people of Ohio, Chase may. have
conceived it necessary to Jidd wire to
greenbacks to make the dose palatable.
Addison, speaking of Gold being used to
seduce the people of Athens, says : '
" A man w ho is furnished with argu
ments from the 3int, will convince his
antagonist much sooner than one who
draws them from reason and philosophy.
Gold is a wonderful clearer of the under
standing ; it dissipates every doubt and
scruple in an instant ; accommodates it
self to the meanest capacities ; silences
the loud and c lamorous, and brings over
the most obstinate and inflexible. Philip
of Macedon refuted by it ail the wisdom
of the Kepublic of Athens, confounded
their statesmen, -truck their orators dumb
and at Iti'ijt.'t arjwd them out of' their Mxt
lie&.l ; ; - i
History seems ' to be repeating itself
vuy rapidly and unfortunately. .i'oi-our
once great country. Our political op
ponents now in power seem to have only
studied the very worst side of it. . The
saving that " when the wicked rule the

rulers are " people haters," and to hear
them mourn is music to their cart.

GREAT VICTORY.'
Mot in!;!? or Fort Pennsylvania I
O FF1CIA L ACCO I NT.
In nit Fili.i, "
Pennsylvania, Oct. 14, 18G3-
To the AdjuUiut (Jcmval L"; ,'. S'. '.
,8V : I have the honor to report that in
accordance with General Order. No. 720,
I set out on the loth of August hist,
with the special corps detached for mv
command, to reconnoitre Fort Pennsylva
nia, with a view to ascertain the lorecs
necessary to efii ctually storm and 'cairv
the works in the combined attack which
the 44 General Order" indicated would
certainly take. place on the ICth instant.
In obedience to your strict injunction to
conduct my operations with secrecy, so
that the enemy should not be. aware' of
.my nioviinents, until the advance of the
large body of troops required for the final
assault, on the eve of tiie execution of
the niaiix.'iivre, should render it difficult if
not inijKssible to frustrate the main plan.
I deemed it prudent to divide mv com
mand into four separate corps, and enter
the enemy's country in four different and
distinct directions, taking care that lile
graphic communication should be kept up
with inV headquarters from each division.
The result proved the wisdom of this
strategy.
My entire command consisted of one
hundred picked men. i'oo thought the
uumbcr too t;-w. I thought them quite
enough. I deem it nn act of generous
justice to aeknow ledge in this public man
ner that I was right. and thai you were
wrong.
'1 lie. first division, uu.ler Major General
NoaH, wi.h twenty-five men, was directed
to outer the enemy's country bv Allegheny,
and proceed east ; the seond, under
Major General .Nomuchmor, were advised
to enter by Lawrence, and proceed in a
periendicuhir direction ; I directed the
od, under Major General Ilhvla, to ap
proach by I'radford and scour the country
horizontally : and the 4th. under Mai.ir
General Noln, were ordered top'oeied bv
wailr fo Erie, and scatter genera'!-"
while I, accompanied by my stall" pro-
ceeded to a central point, (which I for-
bear to d. signate for strategic reasons.)
sekcte.I ly me :is my base, where I con
stantly was kepi informed of tho move
ments of my divisions.
The fast dispatch I received was
highly encouraging, and I was led to be- j
lieve that I could report that no military
forces were nect s.-ary to carry the fortress. J
My Generals, one and all, reported that j
the sections of the, country visited bv
thorn were able to accomplish the work j
with the local force at their command, j
without assistance from you. I comma-
nieated these gratifying reports to you, i
by telegraph, on the Lt of September, j
with tho. assurance of my belief and ex- j
pectation that all anxirty on your'
part might end at once. Hut" your reply j
by letter, dated September 2d, cautioned
me not io le deceived by these premature
reports, end warned me that I inhrht soon I
expect news of an opposite character.
I soon found your predictions were veri
fied. General Noall, as early as the oth
September, telegraphed me that he had
advanced as far as Westmoreland in one
direction, and to. Fayette and Greene in
an other, and that the entire country
seemed to be on the alert, organizing
their local militia to overwhelm their
loyal opponents. . General Nomuchmor,
on the Gth, reported that the favorable in
telligence he had first sent me was coun
terbalanced by the unpleasant reports of
his scouts, who had gone in the direction
of Centre and Cambria, The dispatches
of General Hire1, whose force had ad
vanced from Erie into Crawford and Mer
cer, was more encouraging ; but the re
parts from Gen. Nola, who had displayed
great activity and energy, and who had
detailed his forces as far as Monroe, and
thence to Northampton, and even into
Schuylkill and Iierks, were truly appal
ling. On the lGth September I sent you his
report by a special messenger, with a re
commendation to organize a picked force
of 10,000 active soldiers and 10,000 ', in
valids, aud I designated the points at
which their services would 1 -
