WORMWOOD. A BLACK RECORD. CURTIN'S OWN PARTY SPEAKS. THE SOLDIER'S GREAT 'FRIEND.' The Tonnage Tax Swindle. VOTERS READ THE RECORD. The editorials of the Pittsburg Gazette, and Pitt6burg Dispatch, two abolition papers, against Governor Curtin arc being circulated in pamphlet form. They make a truthful and damaging record. Ist. That the Governor was the intimate friend of Charles M. Neal and Frownfield, who swindled the soldiers in shoddy and shoes, and that the committee of investiga tion, were managed to cover up and smooth over the fraud. 21. That the Governor favored and sign ed the bill reDealing the " Tonnage Tax," al though he confessed it was "atrociously wrong." That he signed the bill with " in decent haste during a recess of the Legisla ture" notwithstanding " he had given the most positive assurance that it should be ve toed," ami notwithstanding he " was solmen lv and repeatedly pledged to refuse it his as sent. 3d. That he Signed* this tonnage tax swin dle " immediately after these assurances were given" and that there was a private agree ment in writing, made by Thomas A. Scott, 'for the company to pay the 6um of 75,000 per annum into the treasury WHJCII AGREEMENT HE (Curtin,) CONCEALED FROM TIIE PEOPLE AND AFTER WARDS SURRENDERED TO THE COM "TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RIGHT. "-Thomas Jefferson. TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 23, 1863. PANY, without preserving a copy of it."— u When interrogated at the next session up on this point, he ADMITTED THE FACT himself of the agreement, and ITS SURREN DER" and excused himself on the ground that " the company were paying more than that amount in taxes." The record showed that " they had not been paytng the half of that amount" and the Governor's words were "contradicted by the testimony of his own Attorney General," who swore before the Hopkins Committee that the paper was given by Scott and placed in his hands as an official and public document. 4IIF The Pittsburg Gazette says in view of these things that the masses believed the Governor had " SOLD THE PEOPLE, and BE TRAYED THE STATE, and asks if "anybody is weak enough to think that these things are already forgiven and forgotten." sth. That when another attempt was made to investigate the whole matter, Col. McClure hastened from the sick bed of a friend to advise the appointment of the com mittee, that a great struggle was made to keep off all who " were bent 011 ruining a Republican Governor." That the committee " acted languidly" that it was surrounded by the "companies spies," "who telegraphed to witness about to be summoned, in order to keep them out of the way," and that the President and Vice President of the company evaded the suin mous as witnesses—one by " absenting him self from the State" and the other by a cer tificate from a Physician, that he was under going injections of lunar caustic, although ke was walking the streets. The committee however found that the bill was procured by the use of fraudulent and improper means'' to which bill the Governor however against his pledge put his 6iguiature—Thus was the people robbed of many hundred thousand dollars. sth. These abolition papers allege, that Governor Curtin in our national matters, has not only fallen far short of the occasion, in every element of courage, truthfulness, and ability," but has enacted the part of a mar plot, from the begining," and " created more trouble at Washington by bis officious inter meddling than ail the other Governors" [of this we need not speak, as there is not much honor, truth or decency anywhere among them ] 7th. That the Governor pledged himself not to be a candidate, meaning to be one and lastly these papers by many assertions regard his nomination as fatal, and hisro-elec tion as impossible. The pamphlet is lengthy and exposes rascality which the people should remember Gov. Curtin for at the ballot box. JS3T The following article is from Arch bishop Hughes'organ. the Free man's Jour nal: It is a favorite dodge of some people nnn--a days to endeavor to slur up a tnan who disa grees with hint b}' accusing him of secession ism. It is an easy way of get ting rid of an argument that one cannot answer ; it is far easier than convincing an opponent, in fact, it is i: as easy as lying." But is a man a se cessionist because he desires peace, or depre cates subjugation, or intimates a wish that personal liberty was less restricted ? Is lie a secessionist because he is not blind to the discrepancies in official reports, or the short comings of government, the incompetency of a general, or the blunders of a statesman ? Is he a secessionist because he abhors the idea of conquerors and conquered taking the place of fellow-citizens in this Republic, be cause he wishes for no such union as that of Ireland with England, or Poland with Rus sia on this broad continent ? Is he a seces sionist because he is alive to the wickedness and absurdity of enslaving whi'e men in or der to sot negroes free ? Is a man a seces sionist who dots not believe our govern ment infallible, our army invincible, and our resources illimitable ? Is it secessionist to hint that our Southern brethren are human beings still, that they have rights which it would be dangerous to disregard, and feel ings it would be wise to take into account ? Is it sccessionism to admit that they arc brave and wary, or to doubt that they are sc destitute and so desponding as it is the fashiou to represent them 1 Is it secession ism to shrink from taxation, to wish that our government was more frank in dealing with the people, more desirous of relieving thein from the horrors of suspense, more chary of interfering with the liberty of the press and freedom of speech, more economical of public money ? Is it secessionisui to long with a longing of which these people have no con ception fur the reconstruction of the Union on the basis of the Constitution, on the good old guarantees that satisfied the men of'7o. What better are we than they, or what bet ter is the negro now than he was in their day, that he should be made a bone of con tention between the sections, a wedge to split up the republic? Our Revolutionary Fa thers never thought of legislating negroes in to equality with white men ; their sense of right was no more shocked by their exclus ion from political privileges than it was by the exclusion of the idiotic, and they were right, for if in the case of the latter, inferior ity of intellect ia judged sufficient to place the individual below tho level of the race, why is not the same cause sufficient to place ' th ? inferior below the level of the superior ? Is belief in this secessionism ? We think not, but we have heard men accused of se cessionism for less. It would be well, there fore, to know what constitutes secessionism. It would be well to know if men are to be dubbed secessionists because they cannot think as the administration thinks, or as ev ery individual officer of the government, from the Secretary of State down to the low est patrolment in a police district thinks.— For this is what we are coming to. Meet abolitioinsts, or as they prefer to be called just now, emancipationists, where you will, and preusme to assert your right to think for yourself, to criticise with your lips what you condemn in your heart ; proceed on the assumption that your right to diflcr from them is as clear as their right to differ from you ; refuse to accept their say so as an arti cle of your political creed, and they discern at once that you are a secessionist. 111 our opinion it is not wise to bandy about such charges recklessly; disloyalty to the government should never be assumed, for in a laud like ours, under a government elected like ours, to say that the people are disloyal is to say that the government is un worth v. SOLDIERS WIVES. What an immense amount of heroism among this class passes unnoticed, or is tak en as a matter of course ; not only iu this most righteous war which we are waging but in those of all past time. For the sol dier, he has his comrades about him, shoul der to shoulder ; he has praise if he does well ; he has honorable mention and pitying tears if he falls nobly striving. But alas! for the soldier's wife ! Even an officer's wife, who has sympathizing friends, who has the comforts and many of the luxuries of life whose children are provided for if their fa ther fall; what hours of dreadful suspense and anxiety must she pass even in these fa vorable circumstances. llow bard for bcr ! But the wife of a poor soldier, w ho, in giv ing her husband to her country, has given everything ; who knows not whether the meal she and her little ones are eating may not be the last one for many a hungry, deso late day ; who has no friend to say " well done," as the lagging weeks of suspense creep on, and she stands bravely at her post, keeping want and starvation at bay ; imagi nation busy among the heaps of dead and wounded, or traversing the wretched prison dens and shuddering at the thought ot their demoniac keepers; keeping down her sob?, as her little daughter trustfully offers up her nightly prayer ' for dear papa to come ho re,' or when her little son, just old enough to read, traces with his fingers the long list of killed and wounded " to see if father's r.ame is there ;" shrouding her eyes from the pos sible future of her children should he* strength give out under the pressure of want and anxiety ; no friend to turn to when her hand is palsied with labor; nor waving ban ners nor martial music, nor one procession to chronicle her valorous deeds ; none but God and her own brave heart to witness her noble, unaided struggles ; when I think of these solitary women scattered throughout the length and breadth of this land, my heart warms towards them, and I would fain hold them up in their silent struggle fur all the world to admire. When the history ot this war shall be written (and that cannot be now,) let the historian, what else lie may forget, forget not to chronicle this sublime valor of the hearth stone, all over our struggling laud.—Fanny Fern. THF. LATH PROCLAMATION.—A proclatna tion of the President assumes to declare tnar (ial over the whole North—or to suspend the writ of habeas corpus as to all persons connected with the service, or charges with opposing the draft, &c. This may prevent any efforts to test the constitutionality of the draft, and gives sundry petty, ignoraut and vicious under satraps control over innocent men whom political enemies may wish to have kidnapped and secretly sent out of the State or thrust into cne of Lincoln's lousy bastiles till after election ; or any one illegal ly drafted can be forced into the army with out a hearing in court as to over-ago, &c*— The dratt is mostly over without trouble, but the elections are to coine off, and aboli tionism is perhaps preparing for a Kentucky outrage in Pennsylvania. But tho people will quietly talk ever matters and vote as they please at all hazzards— Mo< trosc Dem ocrat. Parties, in lhe days of the revolu tion, were known a9 Patriots and Loyalists. The loyalists were tories. Let no Republican imagine that his liberty is any safer than that of the Democrat. If that of the one is lost, so also is that of the other. We are all in the same boat. Just think of tho number of able-bodied men. taken from the farms and work-shops of the country 1 I f is certain, that of these not less than 800,000 have gone to the grave. How is this ? The Southern soldiers and secessionists say they wiil never come back into the Union, and the Abolition Republi cans swear they won't have the Union as it was. How is it possible, then, that the one class can be any better Uniou men than tho other ? he following sentiment from one of J Ohio's noblest, most patriotic and worthy sons, is wonthy of being printed in letters of gold. Head it: " COMPROMISE." ' Not compromise! Compromise is the first law of combination—l had almost said of nature. It is the law of all society—all government—all united action. Partners in business compromise, members of political, religious, charitable, uselul societies compro mise. Kings compromise with each other— they compromise with their subjects, or lose them. Wars end by compromise—the fami ly circle is a compromise. Husbands com promise with their wives—fathers compro mise with their disobedient children—and if our holy religion is true, God promised with man when lie accepted in his. behalf the atonement of his son ; and §hall we refuse to do what nature, reason, Religion and history all command ?—lion.

" I am not and never have been a ' Na'.ive American' in any political sense, any more than I am or have been a Whig, Anti-mason or an Abolitionist. The speech so often quoted against me, I am not responsible for. It was introduced into the debates by a Whig reporter, in violatian of tho rules of that body, which required hitn to submit for revision before publication, and which he never did. I promptly denounced it. in the face of the Convention, as I hare done many a time since as a gross misrepresentation.— The Native American part}' itself is my wit ness. Seven years ago I was the caucus nominee for U. S, Senator. The county of Philadelphia was represented by Natives They a?ked whether, if elected by their votes I would favor their measures for changing the naturalization laws. I answered them NO, and they threw every vote they could command against me and raised a shout of victory over my defeat."— GKO. W. WOOD WARD, Pittsburg, Stjtf. 14, 1852.

As to Curtin's ''reputation," the less the Abolitionists say about it 'lie better. Mem bers cf his own party, in the Pittsbugb Con volition, portrayed it in language too pointed to be misunderstood. The great solicitude he felt for the soldiers too, had better not be re ferred to by Governor's friends. The paper soled shoes and horse-blankets imposed upon the troops bv Curtin and his cronies, are matters that will not soon be forgotten. If any man in the State deserves the everlasting detestation of the soldiers, that man is our imbecile Governor.— Carlisle Volunteer.

Friend Wales: —You remember me. t saw you in Canady a few years ago. I re member you too. I seldom forgit a person. I hearn of your marriage to the Prititcis Alexantry, & ment to writ you a congratuo latory letter at the time, but I're been bildin a barn this summer, & haint had no time to write letters to folks. Excoos me. My ob jeck in now addressinyou is to giv you sum adwice, friend Wales, about managio your wife, a bizness I've had over thirty years ex perience ir. You had a good weddin. The papers have a go d deal to say about " vikins" in connec tion tharewith. t. .Not knowing what that iair and so I frankly tells you, my noble lord jdook of the throne, I cau't zackly say wheth er we had 'ein or not. We was both very much flustrated. liut I never enjoyed my self better in my life. Dowtless your supper was a head of our'n. As regards eatin' uses Baldinsville was allers shakey. But you can git a good meal in New York, and cheap too. You can git a half a mackril at Delmonico's or Mr. Mason Dory's for six dollars, and biled pertaters throw'd in. As I sed , I manige my wife without any particu lar trouble. When I fust commensVtrainiu' her I insti tuted a ceries of experiments, and them as didn't work I abanding'd. Yuu'd better do simiier. your wife may objeck to gettin up and bildin the fire in the iuirnio,' but if you commence with her at once you may be able to overturn this prejoodis. I regret to obr sarve that I didn't commence arly"enufl". It was a ruther cold mornin' when I fust pro posed the idee to Betsy. It wasn't well re ceived, and I found myself layin' on the floor putty suddent, I tho't I'd git up and bild the fire inyself. My wife is 52 years old, and alius sustancd a good character, She's a good cook. Her mother lived to a vener'ble age, and died while in the act of frying slapjacks for the county Commissioners. And may no rood fund pluk a flour from her toom-stun ! Wo 'taint got any picter of the old lady, because she'd never stand for her ambrotipe, and therefore I can't give her likeness to tho world thro' the mcejura of the illustrated papers ; but as she wasn't a brigadier-ginral, particlcrly, I don't s'pose they'd publish it, any how. It's best to giv a woman considable leeway. A naber of mine, Mr, RjofuS Minkins wa once very sick with the fever but his wit moved his bed into the door yard wiile she was cleaniu' house. I told Roofus thmtfaui't the thing, specially as it was j but he wanted to give his wife a jlilee way." That wa6 2 much. I told fllrti Mitl kins that her Roofus would die if he staid out there in the rain much longer : whenUal said " it shan't be my fault if he dies unprepared at the same time tossin' hiin his mothers bible. It war orful! I stood by, however, and nursed him as well's I could, was a putty wet nuss, I tell you. There's varis ways of nianagin' a wife, friend Wales, but the best and only safe way is to let her dojist about as she wants to. I dopted that there plan sum time ago,it works like a charm. Remember me kindly to Mrs. Wales, and good luck to you both ! And as years roll by, and accidents begin to happen to you— among which I hope thcr'll be Twins—you will agree with me that family joys air the only only ones a uian can bet on with any certainty of winnin'. It may interest you to know that I'm pro'perin' in a pccooucry pint of view.
