Pennsylvania Politics.

Andrew G.. Curtin has been renomina
ted for Governor by the negro "unionists'
of Pennsylvania. They were more bold
there than in Ohio, for the reason, we
suppose, that Curtin did not profess to be
q 'life long Democrat" When they
get hold Of tho latter they take care t.
make their official life very short Th,
session of tho Convention was stormy
one--snd motion to make Curtin nom
ination unanimous was lost. A letter
before us, says the Democracy are perfeo-
tly satisfied with tho result and that

Woodward bears as unsullied charac.
ter as man and Democrat as any in
the country. His election will be hailed
with joy as another sign of deliverence
from despotism and recxlessness.

speech by Mr.. vallandighsm in Congress
in reply to resolution introduced by Mr.

oquently refutes one Of the many sian
ders with which his course has been as
sailed:
"This is the grand aggregate of the
charges, except the miserable falsehood
which some wretched scavenger, prowi
ing about the streets and alleys OF tine
CITY of Baltimore, has seen fit to put forth
in the local columns of contemplate

Pennsyivania may rise in his place and
prefer charges against the loyalty and
patriotism Of man who has never fal-
tered in his devotion to the flag OF MS
country--to that flag which hangs now
upon the wall over against him; one who
has bowed down and worshipped this
holm emblem of the Constitution and the
old Union of these States in his hearts
core, aye, in his heart of hearts. from the
time he first knew aught to this hour; and
who would now give his life, and all that
he is or hopes to be in the present or the
future, to see that glorious banner Of the
