COODERSPOI3.T I .:POTTER COUIITTY, PA,, WEDNESDAY, SEPTENMER S), 1863, Our Speet4l Coir&pondence. W.igiatunON D. C. Sep. 19 1862. • • Tnnorh MAC : As soldiers who have Voluntarily come forth to the field to fight the . battles of our commen country, and who . have bysuch voluntary 'aot deprived 'themselves of the privilege , of the elective franchlse—that privilege of. which every true American is so justly tetiacions- - -'—we claini the right in view of the near ap proach of the Gubernatorial coritest,, to speak a feW Ns-m.6 -thiongh the columns of the JotiaNAL in reference" thereto. fWben.:in; the .Fall df 'ol,the. people ot.Pentisyliania chose ANDREW G; 'CUR TIN Governer, they doubtless did so with the expectation that he would faithfully perform the 'duties devolving upon him;' that he would prove himself worthy the responSible position. in .which the people chose tUpluce him. •Tho Ugh wa expected this ;. yet there :was a certain degree of uncertainty. Strange things had hap pened in our , time, and we might find our selves "sold." But no - iv, after the lapse of two.years of ,his administration there remains in the minds of all honest, loyal citizens not a shadow of doubt. He has not,only fulfilled, but more than fulfilled tbe predictions of his most ardent sup porters and admirers. Holding such a responsible position during the most try ing epoch in our nation's history, he has proved himself equal to any and every emergency. Most ably has he seconded the efforts of our National Government in its , endeavors to put down the rebellion Which for a period of more than two years has so arrogantly defied the laws of God and man; entailed upon the national ex checquer.an -expense of hundreds of mil lions of money, clothed our once happy land in sable garments, left numberless widows and orphans to mourn the un timely, 'cruel death of husbands and fathers; and has cost the nation hundreds of thousands of her brave sons; stead fast.and unwavering has he stood by the Government during all this time of deadly peril.: We can look about us, and among the many bright examples urnished by the Chiefs of other States, none stand. out more conspicuous 'than our own noble „NDY 'CURTIN. We can contrast his official conduct with some we wet of, and it is as light compared to pagan darkness. Did the general government require more men for the prosecution of the war, who could bring them armed and equipped into the:field with the same dispatch A bloody battle fought; hundreds, thou sands Of Pennsylvanians lying wounded, dying, on the field, and who to the relief ? Our lind-hearted Governor is on the ground with medical assistance. Depend upon it were the soldiers at home, the ides of October would witness a , most brilliant triumph for the "soldier's friend." We l have tried and not found wanting the man who fox two years has so nObry stood by us, devoting his time and energy to the unconditional support of . the whole country; to the bettering the moral and physical welfare of the men who in the field, were marching, fighting, bleeding, dying in the same cause. He is knOwn throughout the entire army.— Let Governor Curtin come to see us; every one speaks in his praise. The New Yorker standing by, looking gloomily on, says "Boys, youv'e a noble Governor !" Do you think he makes a mental compar ison that he turns away with a sigh ? We say, that in times like these, having found a good man, "the right one in the right place," let us keep him rather than try the hazardous experiment of taking a new one. We know many soldiers from Pennsylvania, 'numbers of them life-long Democrats.. We have heard nearly all of them eipiess their .preference, and have yefte' find the man who does not desire to vote for Curtin. Show us the.man from the 4c.eyatone of 'the' arch" who says dif ferently, and we will show you a man "tired of the' war." ;Undoubtedly all are tired of it; but nevertheless there'is a distinction. One class is so completely tired out, and worn down, that they would be glad to see the wafelose on any terms, even to the dismemberment of the Union. The - Other elass, though quite,„as anxious for the end, desire to see it only when it shall"-come' reepleridebt with ' , glory and honor, when peace shall come laden with the fruits which shall make . it lasting. the former (Arras that the soldier (if any such therche) wonld-appose the election. of Gov.

The Dover Enquirer says: "Gen. Pierce thinks that moral suasion -is the only weapon which should be used to en force the laws and maintain the govern ment. He didn't think so when he was President. Then, a fugitive slave case occurred in Boston; and he took very good care thatia corepetent armed force was at band to maintain the law. Had Boston resisted there is no doubt that be would have put forth all the power of the Army and Navy, and laid the city in ashes, had it been necessary, to carry a negro back to his- master." Jeff. Davis said in a speech in Mississippi, after his return from a Northern trip, in 1859: "I am happy to state that, during the past sum tiler I heard in many places, what previ ously I had' only heard • from the late President Pieiv'e, the declaration that whenever a Northern army should be as sembled to march for the subjugation of the South, they would have a battle to fight before leaving the limits of their own states, and one in which our friends claim that the victory will be at least doubtful!" Some people claim that the newspapers are abusing Gen. Pierce, but what terms of indignation and censure can be too harsh for the man who now, in accoidance with the above prediction, is doihg even more than be could by open resistance to paralyze the arm of the gov ernment He would now rely on "moral suasion i " a "mausoleum of hearts," "peaceful agencies." Who ever heard of his advocating moral agencies in the John Brown raid ?—Cmigregationaiist: Woodscaidls Complicity. On the 13th Dec., 18 . 61—after six or eight States had taken more or less action to dissolve the Union—aud after Buchan an's -weak but infamous Message, arguing that the U. S. had no power to preserve itself—after Cobb had resiened,and Floyd & Co. bad done all in their power to dis arm the Government.... AFTER all this, Judge' Woodward said, in his 13th Dec. speech in Philadelphia— "We hear it said, Let South Carolina go out of the Union peaceably. I say let her go peaceably, if she go at all.— But lirhy should South Carolina be driven out of the Union by an ir-repressible conflict about Slavery 9" • South Carclinaians boast that they have been thirty years seeking independence, so that this pretence of being 'driven out" is a fiction volunteered to cover up their treason. ° But what shall be said of Woodward's defending the Rebels in this manner by assuming that they are "driven out ?" and what of his condemning the use of arms to hold them to their allegiance The U. S. Constitution—which Judge Woodward is sworn to sbstain—clearly requires obedience to itselt, and enforce: meats of its' laws, above all State laws. The President is commander in chief. Washington, Jackson, Tyler, Fillmore, and Buchanan (in Utab,) I all suppressed Rebellions by force. But Woodward says—in defiance of the Constitution— LET THEM REBEL "PEACEABLY." ' Gen. .Tachson said, "The Union mtrst and shall be preserved," and he sent, Gen. Scott, with men to "coerce" South Caroli na. They dtd so. All wrong , according to Woodward ; they: should have been allowed to nullify "i3eaceably! A Gen. Dtx said, "Tinny man tears down the American flag, shoot him'on the spot." Woodward's argument is, let them do it "PEACEABLY." . , —We have three "opinions," then, of Woodward. let, That soldiers defend ing the Union shall not vote. 2d. That States may leave theiUnion "peaceably." 3d. That "negro slavery is an incalcu lable bleising." Taking into view the _time of this speech, who can resist the conviction that Woodward was really in the plot to divide the Union, and, then "re-Construct" it by adding Penn'a,. N.

The Issue. ;The isSno made by 'the Copperheads is, qposition to the Admidistration. In reality, they aim at the Government, but ddre not meet the popular will in so open a manner. To weaken, the Administra tion is to weaken the Government, for the vigor and strength of the former give life and authOrity to the lutttr. Said a ven erable Democrat, one of-the delegates at the late ' Democratic Convention, to a youngeti-delegates to whom' be was con versing "Sir, we must make these nom inations without regard to the loaves and fishes." 'True, in a measure," said 'the yodne , Copperhead, "but ice must first overusilm. _this nigger . Administration." This is the issue, plaidly stated.- The Udion must be sacrificed to gratify party spleen. ;.The Government must be over thrown because a fe*publie measures do not pleaSe the Democraticf taste.' the pe4le keep this issue before them, and we shall have no fears for the result.
