Curtin'S Majority

The Abolition press exults loudly over
the election of the shoddy candidate but
when all the frauds by which his election
was secured are laid bare, the leaders Of the
Abolition party will have more cause for
shame than for rejoicing. We boldly as
sart, and candidly believe that Judge
Woodward was honestly elected, but the
voice of the people was ovcrpowered by
Federal authority. To such a victory
we leave them to rejoice over Curtin's
majority is but little over $4,000, which
shows, 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 shows an in
crease of over thirty thousand, compared
with last years vote, which could not
have been counterbalanced by any other
than the foul means resorted to by the
friends of Curtin 1t 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 Exccu-
tive Chair of Pennsylvania, we shall re-
gard it as tue precursor of future and
more permanent triumph Of Democratic
principles over all the miserable hereSies
with which we are now assailed.
The Administration and its hireling
press all over the country. claim the re-
suit 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
believe for one moment, that they would
endorse all the Illegal acts Of this Adj
ministration. No, the people have voted
against the measures of the Abolition
party, but were unable to contend against
the strong arm Of the Fcdefal Executive
and the influence Of their own taxes
squandered for the maintenance of usurped
authority. But though defeated, the
Democratic party is not dead, but will
yet rise in its primitive majesty and assert
the rights of American citizens for its
principles are eternal and will outllve the
miserable heresies of Abolitionism and
our six foot 9ore1Tnlent which has espoused
them.

HOW the Athensans List Their
Liberties

Secretary Chase, in his speech here,
spoke of his visit West, and that he got
rid of his Greenbacks. His words were ::
g Since left Cincinnati | have lost nv
voice and nearly all my greenbacks" He
does not give the amount of greenbacks
that he I" lost" with his g voice. but.
according to Addison, Philip of NIacedon
used ''greenbacks" Instead of his voice
to destroy the liberties of the Athenian
people. The people of Athens not hav-
ing the advantage of Common Schools ~
like the people of Ohio, Chase may have
conceived it necessary to add roice to
gree,eJackS to make the dose palatable,
Addison, speaking of Gold being used to
seduce the people of Athens, says:
