THE RAIL- ROLLS ON

The Hon. GEORGE NJ. DALLAS, formerly
Vice President of the United States,-per-
haps the oldest Democrat, except Gen. Cass,
now in the Union,-has expressed his deter
mination to vote for Governor Curtin. He is
a Democrat not Copperhead, and is in favor
of sustaining the Government and crushing
out the Rebellion. An honor to a true patriot
Coz. II. L. BRowS of the 145th Penn'a Reg
iment, having been nominated for the Legls-
lature by the Ccpperheads OF Erie, as true
Democratic patriot declines the nomination
and says: 'sThis is no day for dealing in pol
itics, only so far as to place men in civil po
sitions that will bring to the Government the
entire strength OF the country, both in blood
and treasure, until this rebellion is crushed.
Ny Democracy teaches me that my place is
in the field, upholding in my humble way the
flag of our country. No Patriot at tn is time
will recognize any party the one that un-
conditOnalIy sustains the Government in its
struggle against traitors"
Hon. THOMAS CUNs1NGHAM of Beaver coun-
ty also long the leader of the Democratic par
ty in that county, and a delegate aud one Of
the vice Pr. sidents of the Charleston Conven-
ton, has avowed himself in favor of the U
nion ticket. He delivered eloquent and
powerful speech in Washington on Saturday
and will continue to speak until the election.
Col. WIN. Fl. BLAIR, life long Democratic
leader in Centre County, has taken the
stump for Curtin. Col. Blair is fearless and
effective speaker, whose advocacy for Curtin
will do much to break up the crazy opposition
waged against the Governor in Centre county.
A NEWSPAPER, called the Spectator, printed
in the German language, and published in
Erie, has taken down the names of Woodward
and Lowrie, and ranged itself under the ban
ner of Curtin and Agnew.
Hon. JOHN CESSNA, OF Bedford late speak
| er of the House of Representatives, and cleo
tor at large on the Douglas ticket in 1860, a
most uucompromising Democrat heret tofore, is
! out for Curtin and Agnew.
| Hon. WILLIAM NJ. HESTER, Secretary OF
the Commonwealth in the Packer adminIstra-
tion, has also openly avowed himself in favor
| of the Union and opposed TO the election OF
| Woodward.
Col. K. BIDDLE ROBERTS, Chairman of the
Breckinridge State Central Committee in 1860
| is now an unconditional Union man, and ha:
| taken the stump in favor of Gov. Curtin.
| Thus the ball rolls on, and true patriot is
without regard to party rally round the Union
flag, and stand by the Government. On mex
| Tuesday evening, the greatest Union victory
will be celebrated, that has been achieved du
| ring the war.

A PLAIN PROPOSITION

Can any intelligent man doubt that The
pro spects of the Woodwardiies would be
frightened by disaster TO the armies of the
Union If news was to arrive that Rose
Grams was driven from Chattanooga, or that
Gilmore had been compelled to abandon the
siege of Charleston, would not the chances
of W oodward's 3 election be increased a thou
sand fold What kind of party must that
be, then, whose success is promoted by the
counriy'5 misfortunes,-which draws its vi
tality from the life blood OF our soldiers. and
hourishes best on the miseries aud SO crows of
the nation What patriot will support a
cause whose fortunes rise with the success,
and fall with the defeat of the armed enemies
of his country What better proof that the
purposes OF Northern Copperheads and South
ern Rebels are identical Let every honest
and intelligent citizens ponder these plain
questions, and answer them at the polls.

tains the following sentence

No wonder the Copperheads advise their
followers to vote against the amendments to

to vote. Their friends, however. will attend
to that when the proper time arrives.

A DEMOCRATIC SENTIMENT.

General John Cochrane tells his Democrat
ic friends in New York that
s'Until the rebels against the people and
their Government tom molesting,
will unite with any and all to compel them TO
lay down their arms
These the words of a strict Dem ocrat-
a supporter of John G. Breckinridge-and who

came part of the rebels conspiracy No
Democrat can refuse to accept sentiment SO
plainly and boldly expressed.

WHY CURTIN SHOULD BE ELECTED

Andrew G. Curtin should be re- elected Gov
eraor of Pennsylvania for the following plain
reasons:
FIRsr-Because he has faithfully perform
ed the duties devolving upon him, and has
demonstrated his ability by reducing the prin-
cipal of the State debt, in time OF war, over
niue handred thousand dollars.
SEcosp-Because he has faithfully sustain
ed the Government in the prosecution of the
war--furnishing promptly all the men asked
for, and organizing Reserve Corps which has
been the pride and boast OF the Common
wealth.
THRp-Because he has administered to the
wants OF the solders cared for their inter-
ests alleviated their sutierings; visited them
in their camps watched over them in the hos
pitais; and devoted his best energies TO their
welfare.
FouRTH Because he is the standard bearer
of the Union cause, aud his election will ev-
erywhere be regarded as the triumph of the
friends of the Government over its enemies.
1t will give new impetus to the vigorous
prosecution OF the War; raise the hopes OF
our friends in other States; encourage the
soldiers; crush out the copperheadsi and vim
dicate the loyalty of the Keystone State.
FIFTH-Because there is no shadow of sus-
picion resting upon his loyalty as man. In
the hour OF his countrv's trial no has been
faithful and true. To the support OF the Gov
ernment he has devoted the best energies OF
his life. He has been tried and not found
wanting. In his hands the cause OF Liberty
and Union is safe.

| THE CASE CT Rev. r. j. GRAyEs.-We notice that
Gov Graham has made spscch IN the Legislature IN
regard to the late arrest Of Rev. r. j. Graves Pres
byeTian preacher living in Orange county 1t will be
remembered that Graves urned to our State au-
thories and a letter from the Secretary Of War to
Governor Vance states the cause of bis arrest. The
letter stated among other things, that Graves
cused the authority OF returned Confederate p1is~
oner OF giving information to the enemy to the injury
Of tie Confederate cause, and that he got permit to
go North by representing himself citizen Of NeW
York. DESTROYS of returning home. We did not intend
again aude to the case; but Gov. Grahm, speaking
in defence of Graves and in commenting the letter of
the Secre airy of War; omts entirely to notice the false
statement made by Graves en. Winder in order to
get permit to 60 North. If the statement o'Graves
that be is citizen of New York IS true Why then the
Confederate authorities very properly supposed that
they had right to st him alien enemy but
if that statement alse land it that he
claims to be citizen of North Carolna) then it ap
pars that be has certainly been guilty OF deception and
wiIfu alsehood.
We are sorry that Gov Graham, while speaking in
Graves favor did not explain this matter. Mr. Graves
friends calm that he is cltzan Of this State and
Graves himself has taken protection upder that plea
thereby acknowledging that he made false statement
In order to visit the North. We know nothing of the
matter han see il the public papers, but mas
much as Gov. Graham and others continue 10 blame
the Confederate authorities for making the arrest
feel justified in abiding to the false representations OF
Graves to show that be is not entirely guess some
seem anxious to make 1t appear,
Since the above article was put IN type we fed the
following dispatch in the Raleigh Progress which in
dicates that tn Re- good for the arrest OF
