Behold His Record.
rom the CIearfeld Republican,


We this week commence the publica-
ton of some of the sayings and doings OF
his excellency Andrew G.. Curtin, ''pro-
Governor of Pennsylvania.
Though Gov. Curtin has been allowed,
by the Jacobin Administration at Wash
ington to draw his salary as such, from
the Treasury of Pennsylvania, he has in
fact been nothing but the suppliant tool of
the peoples masters at Washington.
The rebellion crushers are just now try
ing to prove that Judge Woodward holds
to the infamous doctrines of defunct
Americanism and as though their shoddy
candidate in common with themselves,
never held, or advocated, that Know
Nothing delusion.
We here here present our readers with
the first act of the drama.

The intense hate herein expressed.
/ against toreign-born citizens and Catho-
lies, has no parallel in this country, and
yet Andrew @. Curtin and his shoddy
patriots, after swearing away what little
Christian charity they possessed, now at
tempt to prove that Judge Woodward is
as much of an migrate as themselves.
But we must hasten along. We here
produce good Abolition authority, for the
purpose of showing in what estimation
Curtin was held one month ago by one OF
his chief toady organs, and we have not
heard Of his conversion since that time
