N pEAIi Fn.r.Epn: _ I .wrote you an
unsatisfactory note a daY or two since.
I have ijust had a pleasant interview with
Mr. Shipley, whose courage and fidelity
are equal , to:his learning and talents. - He
says he would rather fight the r battle with
you: as the standard bearer, in 1.860; th.tm
under the auspices of any other leader.
The feeling and judgment of Mr.. S. in
this relation is, I am
,confident, rapidly
gaining around in New - England. Our
people are looking for " . the Coming Man."
One who is raised by all the elements of
his character above the atmosphere ordi
narily . breathed politjciaps. A man,
really fitted for this emergency by his
ability, courage,-broad statesmanship and
patriotistu. Col. Seynioni :(Tho's H.)
arrived here this morning, and expressed
his view,s in this relation in almost the
identical language. used by;Mr. Shepley.
It is true that in the present state of
things at Washington, and throughout
the country, no man can predict what
changes two or three months may bring
forth. Let me suggest'that in the morn
ing debates of Congress, full justice seems
to me not to have' been ' done' to the De
mocracy of the ,North., 'I do not believe
that Our friend's 'at the SOuth have any
just .idea of
_the state- of,feeling -hurrying
at this moment to tha piichof ieterie ex
exasperation between those who respect
their political obligations, and those who
have apparently; no itupellitig' power but
that which fanatical passion on the sub
ject of domestic Slavery imparts. WITH
OUT DISCUSSING THE QUESTION • OF.

Northern. Abolitionists that dire. calami,

It will E . W ioithin Our then bordeis, in - our

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.

Ex-President Pierce.
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. Y. &C., to the Slave
GoVernment Pi—Ern/on 'County I Star &
Chronicle. .

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.
Tde KeYStene State is loyal, and has giv
