IvDCR wOoDwARD,s VIEWS.

The views of George w. Woodward, the Cop
perhead candidate for Governor Of Pennsylva-
mia, on the great questions of the day, are ex-
tracted from his own speeches in former days
(he is very careful to make none now, from las
more cautious and curt letters OF later date
and from his conversations on pnblic affairs.
His opponents cite Democratic witnesses e1eiu-
siyely on leading points. The Hon. Hendnck
b. Wright, his neighbor and friend, who sup
ports him for Governor, is relied on to prove his
adhesion 10 the doctrine of States Consttu-
tional right to scccde from the Union. HIS
printed speeches and letters prove that he holds
the North responsible and culpable for the out
break Of the present War And George W.
Hat, Philadelphia merchant who has always
voted the Democratic ticket, testifies 10 his
avowed lack of sympathy with the War for the
Union as follows:
