is Pennsylvania a State .

We scarcely know how to answer thi.
question, says the West Chester Jeffersonian
1t is certain that Pennsylvania once was
! State, aud her citizens were accustomed to
glory iu her as the Keystone" of the Union
But that was before Abolition Nggerism OF
tanned governmental control both at Harris.
burg and Washington.
If Pennsylvania is a State, it Is very evi
dent she is without Governor fit to rule a
State. Curtin has proved himself mere tool
satrap of Lincoln, and he has demeahed him
self so subsequently to his Washington mas
ter, that the g Old Keystone" stood as a ma :
ked and defenceless province, when contrast
ed with the States of New York and New
Jersey.
We think it impossible that the cuIpable
conduct of Curtin can fail to arouse the peo
pie of Pennsylvania to the importance of
again assuming State position along side of
New Jersey and Nsw 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 aud her people
then feel that they have Government to be
relied on for security and defence in inner
gency that may arise during the unfortunate
and disastrous storm in which the country IS
now involved.
Had Pennsylvania been State, with a
State Governor at her head like New York
or New Jersey, her borders could not have
been invaded, and thousands of her people
driven from their houses or plundered of
millions of property A State Governor like
SEYMOUR or PARKER would not have trusted
to The imbecllity and incompetency of the
managers at Washington, for perfection, but
have been prepared with State forces to meet
and drive back The invading foe.
Is Pennsylvania a States ? 1t becomes
her white freemen to consider tkis question,
for it is an important one. If We would
have and maintain her State, we must have
a man as Governor, who will not, fike CURTIN
continue her in the attitude Of province but
who will restore her to her ancient honorable
position as The & keystone State" of the I'm
ion. Such a man is GEORGE w. WOODWARD

VIII } is a Copperhead.

The Union Leagues have denounced Dem
ocrats as Copperheads and have repeatedly
cited as specimens Of the genus, Governors
Seymour of New York and Parker of New
Jersy. We adopt their illustration and de-
fine Copperhead Governor TO be, the Chief
Magistrate Of State, who protects the
rights of the citizens and the Commonw ealth h
from unconstitutional oppression by the
Federal 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 slavish
Black Repu blican Governor arc not equal to
the emergency. The citizen of a Copper.
head State is one who m,rcheS to defe nd

The Idea of Pennsylvania Governor.


Governor Curtin of Pennsylvania, in accept
ing his nomination, says:
But my fellow citizens, the administra-
tion of the Government of Pennsylvania sinks
into nsignifcance when compared with the
great struggle in which we are engaged for
the 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 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 threa ten
ed CO., was calling upon Lincoln, and New
York and New Jersey to save him.
Upon the whole, we should think Pennsyl-
vania would be wise to elect Governor who
thinks quite as much of PHILADELPHIA, Har-
risbnrg and Pittsburg as of Washingtop.-
". Y. Express.
Pennsylvania will elect Governor in Oc.
to5er who will maintain the rights of Penn.

conferred dpon him by the Constitution and
laws of the State, Governor WooDwARp
will cot consent to hold bis own liberties
and let the people hold theirs, at the mere
will of the Federal Executive" He was
chosen deliberately, carefully, wisely, as the
Democratic candidatc--he delegates kneu

William Whiting, Solicitor of tn.
Var Department. has ~ritten a letter to tl,,,
unien Lcague Of Philadelphia, in wbi,;,
he urges the policy Of reducing the Sou,her,
States to Territorial condition, and placing
them under military government until they
adopt constitutions aboliShing slavery. If
that is to be the the p'licy rf Lincnln's Ad-
ministratioa with the States now in rebellion,
We can tell Mr.. Whiting and Mr Lincoln that
their effDrts to hold political political power
Will prove abDrtvc. When the rebels Law
down their arms &nl acknowledge the Su-
preinlcy Of the Constitution and laws of the
United States this bloody war must and shall
cease. The people will not be trlfIed with
by artfui and designing politicians. As TO
Mr. Writings legal abilities, there Is not a
school boy sixteen years of aga who would
not richly deserve to be Fl ,sged by his teach

surditics contained in sorhe OF tie legal opin
lens Of the Solicitor Of the War Department
The idea OF sending such d miserable nincom-
poop to Europe to instruct our Foreign Min
istcrs in international law is the greatest farce
this Administration has yet attempted to
play. The best possible use that could be
made Of Whiting would be to cage him, and
place him on exhibition at Barnttm.s Museum
