Plood, JefLrson county, Is Pennsyleauia a State t Wc scarcely know how to answer this question, says the West Chester Jeffersonian It is certain that Pennsylvania once was a State, aud her citizens were accustomed to glory iu her as " the Keystone" of the Union. But that was before Abolition Niggerism ob fained governmental control bith at Ilairis burg and Washington. If Pennsylvania is a State, it Is very evi dent she is without a Governor fit to rule a State. Curtin has proved himself a mere tool satrap of Lincoln, and he has demeaned him self so subserviently to his Washington mas ter, that the " Old Keystone" stood as a na ked and defenceless province, when contrast ed with the State 3of New York and New Jersey. We think it impossible that the culpable conduct of Curtin can fail to arouse the peo pie of Pennsylvania to the importance of again assuming a Stale position along 6ide of New Jersey and Now York, the first step towards which will be the election of a Demo cratic Governor. This done, the Keystone will once more become a State and her people then feel that they have a Government to be relied on for security and defence in imer gencv that may arise during the unfortunate and disastrous stoim in which the country is now involved. Ilau Pennsylvania been a State, with a State Governor at her head, like New York or New Jersey, her borders could not have been invaded, arid thousands of her people driven from their houses or plundered of millions of property A State Govenor like SEYMOUR or PARKER would not have trusted to the imbecility and incompetency of the managers at Washington, for portection, but haVe been p-epared with forces to meet and drive back the invading foe'. Is Pennsylvania a States? It becomes her white freemen to consider this question, for it is an important one. If we would have and maintain her a State, we must have a man as Governor, who will not, like CURTIN dontinue her in the at titude of a province but j who will restore her to her ancient honorable ! position as the Keystone State" of the Un- j ion. Such a man is GRORGE W. WOODWARD Xot Disposed to go. The draft is but the merest farce in some of the New England districts. For example in the 4th (Boston) District the whole num ber examined last week was 1135 of whom 937 were exempted, 70 pa ; d S3OO. which makes 1007 that got clear, 10S offered sub stitutes, and TEN were passed as fit for dutv. Thus, less than one in a hundred of the origi nal conscripts got into the army ; and this, too, in a section of country that only requir ed the recognition of the negro to "cause every road leading to the national capital to swarm with recruits." At this rato it will require NINETY MILLIONS of conscripts to ob tain the "nine hundred thousand men'* so enthusiastically promised Father Abraham liv the t idicals. Great Uncoln Picture Gallery.

Governor Curtin of Pennsylvania, in accept ing his nomination, says : " But my fellow citizens, the administra tion of the Government of Pennsylvania sinks into insignificance when compared with the groat struggle in which we are engaged for (he vindication and supremacy of the National Government." This idea seems to have been the bane of Governor Curtin all along. Thinking only of Washington, he forgot all about Pennsyl. vania , and hence, in a trying time, had to call and recall upon New York and New Jersey to save him and his State. When thinking only of Washington, General Lee rushed into York, Carlisle, &c., and threaten ed (C.) was calling upon Lincoln, and New York and New Jersey to save him. Upon the whoie, we should think Pennsyl rania would be wise to elect a Governor who thinks Quite as much of Philadelphia, Har risbnrg and Pittsburg as of Washington. N. Y. Express. Pennsylvania will elect a Governor in Oc tober who will maintain the rights of Penn sylvania under the law with all the power conferred upon him by the Constitution and LAWB of the Stale, Governor WOODWARD will not Consent " to hoTd his own liberties and let the people hold theirs, at the mere will of the Federal Executive." lie was chosen deliberately, carefully, wisely, as the Democratic candidate -the delegates knew hi m. Political fuueral Sermon. On a beautiful afternoon about the middle of June last, hundreds of people assembled in a grove in tho vicinity ot Russell Ilill on a funeral occasion. The deceased was a young man ; returned home on the 6th of June, from the tented field, after the expira tion of his servitude of nine rabnths, being lawfully discharged. On the 13th, one week later, he was a corpse. The funeral cer emonies were conducted by J. J. Ken nedy assisted by 1). Jayne. I have not attached llevs., nor given the name of Messengers of peace, because the discourse for the occasion was bad logic and worse divinity. Kennedy gave out as his text, 1 Cor. Chap. 15th, verse 28th. Spent a short time in making some preliminary remarks. Then he began to talk of our country, of its rise and progress, manufacturers and commerce, of its various institutions, its laws and government, being the best in the world. Its inhabitants being prosperous, free and hap f ,y people. In this place I would say that he never spoke the word Constitution, while on the stand.— perhaps he thought the Government a bet tor word to suit the times with A. Lincoln for supreme dictator- Our Countryg rise, progress, and prosperity are the strong est evidences in favor of the form of Govern ment under which we have lived to be a nation, men were placed at the heads of the different departments sworn to honor and obey the constitution and laws and to at tend to every part of the machinery by which our union is kept incxistence ; before the war few were the men to be fou id who had the courage to coma out boldly against the Corstitution and Union, but now days you can find them in almost every place, and arc ready at an}* moment to say hard things of men, if they stand up for the Constitution and Union as it was ; principles they have believed in from infancy up, all through life perhaps of seventy years, but now such, men are called traitors to their countrv. In the next place he spoke of the country in its present condition. The war cry in our ears every day, something new thousands killed, and tens of thousands wounded was attributed in one in stance, to southern traitors in the next as a judgment from God, on us on account of slavery as a national sin—as to its continu ance he laid great stress on Northern sympa thy, but said the rebellion must be put down, theunicnand government sustained at all hazzards. In this part of his discourse he waxed warm. Government and union was all ,n all to him. He talked as though he possess ed courage, would think it an honor to die in the cause of his country. He was down on those that talked of peace or compromise. John Van B irin an! Ben Wood, by name, and all others of the same stamp were doomed men. lie wanted all men to sup port the government (A. Lincoln's) and to yield to all its laws and commands. He spoke hard things of Northcn men who would not do it. He took a view of the con gregation, and said he saw some of thein there; he knew them by their ouatenauces. About this time his love for the union and the government had got his gas up to a blow ing off pitch. The congregation had to take it in language as follows : " Should any one he found black enougli at heart to say or act perversely to the Government, he hoped JEHOVAH would put his hand on him and crush liiin to the earth." And to let his hear ers know, he repeated it in tl<o same lan guage, (the government here alluded to was A, Lincoln's) because these inen that have not changed their tCp, but are on the old path, the gojd way in which their fa thers walked, glorying in the Constitution and I nion, are styled by this worthy as cop perheads sympathizers with traitors- There was one face in the congregation, hid from his view under the flag of his coun try, and I feci proul to say, withiut fear of coutradiction, that fie belonged to the class that fcame under tho displeasure of the speaker, whase hip; was t their destruc tion without mercy. As soon as he had blown off bis gas a little he bjgan to caii on that party which was not turned over to de struction, to arouse, bo up ani go to work at once, as their enemies were gainiu l * ground very fast. He urged the ! necessity of every man being in earnest to hasten to do thoir host to b.\ i' their friends and neighbors in positions to defend tho government. 0.l abolition he talked of the s.'ave in bondage and urged his hearers Jas a datp 00 us to raise them up, to be equal to the white man, or a little above him, as the only way of crush ing out the rebolliod. 110 labored hard to be thought a no-party man; but many of his hearers had doubts of the fact, there was a sprinkling of unbelievers. Tarty man or no party man, his sympathy appears to be only in favor of the colored race. He thinks It a horrible thing for a slave to be taken from his wife and family—but for a white man whose fault is to stand by the Constitution and Union, that which he was taught to love and obey, while dandled on his mother's knee, he can be taken from wife and family, and banished to an enemy's country. Something uew under the sun where civilization reigns. But this is a sub ject of rejoicing as it shows the powerful arm of A. Lincoln's government. Again, our friends and neighbors are taken from their wives and families by the same powerful arm and forced into tho ranks. Is it for any other purpose than to defend their country ? Oh, yes, just to free a few slaves and to do a few things that our fathers by some means did not think right to do- Such as to shut up honest men. and let rogues and ras cals run at large. Any sympathy for these men 1 Oh, no, they are taken for the pub lic good, and government demands their ser vices. If you should say anything against it, you conle under tho displeasure of the ' speaker, aud are turned over to bo crushed under the hand of Jehovah* The hope of the hypocrite shall perish-* Bible. In conclusion he said some were BO bold And ignorant as to say preachers of the Gos pel had no authority for preaching against slavery; but to enlighten the ignorant, and confute the bold, he quoted the text lirgt named and that was his authority. Never so used by St. Paul—its author! He inay search all the commentaries from Tallow llift xo the low lands of Eaton and he could not find it so explained. D. Jayne was called on to conclude. Aft ter being engaged in prayer a short time, the exilerating gas (thai ho had been taking while hearing the lecture from his brother, as he was pleased to call him) lifted him so high as to forget there was anything above bim. He made use of this itfipions language. I fully concur m all the brother hath said, and feel glad and can rejoice that a man could be found to take such a bold stand against those that wprc opposers of the government. Then he offered up a petition to Almightjr God, tliat he would put his heel on those characters spoken of by his Brother, and crush them to powder, but to remember them in mercy. Can it be possible that those men could believe the ceremonies performed on this oc casion were acceptable to god or man? Hop ing and praying for the dcslrnction of those that stand up for the Constitution and Un ion as it was. If they are really serious in this affair, let rnc ask of thetn ono favor— that they will compromise with ihe Almighty to have the day of destruction put off until the second Tuesday of October is passed, as the Copperheads want all the force tliey can get to save the country from destruction and ruin. TRUTH. CARNEY'S FI.AT, Aug. 17 th 1803. j Resolutions Adopted at a late Meeting ot the Democratic Club in Monroe Tp. WHKRBAS, The opposition of a part of the people of one part of our county to the do inestic institution of another, has generated a spirit of sectional hatred, between the people of those sections, which, on the ad ) vent of the so called Republican parly to power, plunged our nation into a civil war. which, notwithstanding the unreserved sup port of the loyal states, in furnishing men and money to aid the administration in its pretended efforts to put down rebellion, has continued to increase in magnitude until our owu state is invaded by an armed foe, and the total overthrow of our republican insti tutions is seriously threatened. Resolved, That we have no faith in the intention or ability of the party now in pow er, to enforce the laws in the rebellious States, and to restore peace and union to out bleeding and divided country. Resolved, That we believe that the cause of humanity as well as the best interests ol our country demand that the fratricidal war which has devastated the fairest p >.- tions of our country, and filled our land with mourn ing, should be brought to as speedy a termi nation as possible with the enforcement ol the law and restoration of the uniou. Resolved, That We entirely repudiate the doctrine that the constitution is not the Su preme law, absolute authority, at all times and under all circumstances, as a disgraceful imputation upon the wisdom of the fathers who framed it for a perpetual bond of union and security, for liberty and as fatal to all constitutional government.. No necessity can relieve the executive from its restraint, or deprive the citizen of its g'nrantees. Resoloeci, That it is ancient and un duubtcd prerogative of this people to canvass i public measures ami the meri's < f public men, it is a hune brc I right, a fireside privil ege. It bath been enjoyed in every house, cottage, and cabin, in the nation. It is not to be draw.i into controversy. his as un doubted as the right of breathing the air, or walking on the earth. Aiming at all times to be courteous and temperate in its use ex cept when the right itself be questioned. 1 shall place myself on the extreme biundary of 1113' right and bid defiance to any arm that would move tnc from my ground. This high constitutional privilege ' 1 shall defend and exercise within this house and in ali places in time of peace, in time of war, and at all times. Living I shall assert it, and should I leave no other inheritance to mv children, bv the bless : ng of <} id I will leave them the inheritance of free principles and the exam ple of a manly, independent and constitution al defence of them, such were the senti ments of our Fathers, the defenders of the constitution, and they still live in our hearts. Resolved, That we recognize the duty of obedience to law and support of the govern ment, that the assumption by the aduiinis- ! 'ration of the power to msper.J the writ of j habeas corpus, and to establish martial law in states where war does not exist and over persons not in the militarj' service is unwar ranted by the Constitution and suborsive of a government of laws into a military despot ism, it should not nor will not be allowed by a free people. Wll) is a Copperhead. The Union Leagues have denounced Detii ocrats as Copperheads ; and have repeatedly cited as specimens of the genus, Governors Seymour of New York and Parker of New Jeray. We adopt their illustration ; and de fine a Copperhead Governor to he, the Chief Magistrate of a State, who protects the rights of the citizens and the Commonwealth from unconstitutional oppression by the I'ederal Government, and who so controls the policy and resources of his State that he is at once able to protect it from invasion, and succor a sister Commonwealth when an imbecile federal government, and a slavish Black Republican Governor are not equal to the emergency. The citizen of a Copper head State is one who marches to defend the borders of a sister State, when the so called Union Leaguers of that State arc ex cusing themselves from marching to support tho best gov eminent on earth."

Journal. There may be tliis difference between driv ing men into the army in >'ederai and Con federate States. Ij the latter case the poor man knows that if lie is f reed to leave his family j>od home and endure the privations of ihe termed field, his rich neighbor is com. police? to perform the same service, without regard to ft is wealth. Such is not the case in the Northern States, The man who can raic the *£oo is e*einpt, U/iiie fhc poor man is dii\cn (to use Mr. Lincoln 3 own language) "ve:y much like a bullock into a slaughter per." Another difference is trii*, vflfe Southern conscript knows that when forced into the army he will he place 1 uhdeh the command of able and akillful Generals, while, oil the otlur hand, the Northern soldier does not know b;t that lie will be placed under such negro worshipers as I'oj.e, Jiurnside, Hooker or Milroy, to be literally -'diiven into a slaughter pen." Were our citizen soldiers assured thai they would be placed under such commanders as McClellan, Meade, or Grant, we are sure there would be no necessity for the present odious conscript ion law. Senator Harris, of New Yc ik, elected as a Republican, eschewing abolitionism, express ed right views concerning the conscription bill while it wj£ pcriditig in the Senate. He said : "Kngland, with lier many wars and often scarcity of men, nccer resorted to this despo tic measure. It was a mode of raising ar mies onhj n sed by despots, oih never by re publican governments , and the principle, if adopted, would provide large standing armies, which almost inevitably lead to despotism In a g 'vv-r imeet of delegated power, and which rested upon the consent of the gov erned, it was inexpedient and unnecessary.

If that is to t>e the the }> dicv t;f Lincoln's Ad ministration with the States now in rebellion, vre can tell .Mr. Whiting and Mr. Lincoln that their effirts to hold political political power will prove abortive.

The idea of sending such :t miserable nincom poop to h irope to instruct our Foreign Min isters in international law is the greatest farce this A buinistration has yet attempted to play.
