The Prospect Brightens.

The aboltonists have opened their
batteries Of detraction and Obuse upon
Judge WOODWARD, in most grand style
Nothing could be more cheering to the
hopes of the Democracy. II is proof pos
live that they already see that their fate
is sealed, and that they know it, Judge
WOODWARD has uow been in public life
for more than a quarter OF a century
yet his Yilfers can only fnd hco errors
that he has committed aud neither OF
which are faults, because he is guilty of
neither Of them,
The first is, tha, he sought the digtraa.
chtSmcm Of uaturalized citizens when q
member of the Reform Convention in '3S.
This charge was clearly and triumph
antly refuted when Judge Woodward was
elected to the Supreme Bench. There vas
not cord Of truth IN Il. No man is more
just and liberal in his views on this sub
,iect than Judge W. and none know this
fact better than our foreignNboln citizens
themselves.
The second churge is, that he, as one OF
Judges Of the Supreme Court Of Pennsyl'
vania, decided against the Constitutions
ality Of the soldiers vote, and is therefore
in favor Of the "dtyfrachiscmcnt ef Tho SOL
der" This too, is false. The Court did
decide. that there being 10 Constitutional
provision for any votes to be cast Tor Penn
sylvania civil officers outside OF the limits
Of Pennsylvania, and beyond the influence
Of her laws, that therefore soldiers outside
of her limits could not vote. BY that de-
cision, be it rememered, a Democratic
Sheriff of Philadelphia was turned out Of
and Republican Sheriff put in Office -
Bat il is a base falSehooR 90 say that Judge
WOODWARD decided that "Soliicrs coulo
not cote" Or that they wero " diyranshisc{.
and none know this better than those
wLo make the charge Soldiers can vote
just "a other men. They have no special
privileges nor do they ask any We are
ohly sorry that il is not otherwise, for it
the Pennsylvania heroes now in the ser.
vice could have the opportunity Of speak.

A Formidable Indictment.

For fear that our Abolition friends in this re.
gion may be deceived iuto the belief that the re.
nomination Of Governor Curtin was the result o
a cordial interchange Of opinion. that it secured
harmony to their party, and that he stands even
possible chance Of success at the election, We
present tn, following brief extracts from long
bill Of indictment in the Pittsburg Gassus the

tensible withdrawal, was candidate
for denomination, and confident that
he would be successful.

II Is thus seen that the difference in
population in these three counties was but
Il trihe in 1860. We know Of no Ieason
why this relative difference should have
changed siuce. Certainly there has been
20 extraordinary increase Of population
in Clearheld Whether such has been the
case in either Of the others we are not
prepared to say but when we consider
the fact that a railroad mas been opened
10 Warren, aud The oil trade has increased
to II business Of vast importance in that
couu,y we may take il ior granted that
she has ut least kept up Eer ratio. Be
that as it may, the fact that Clearfeld
county, with population of AL ies than
Warren county, is called upon for 90 more
conscripts, at least suggests aquestion
Of fairness II tile enrolment in the sew
eral counties was fairly made, how comes
the discrepancy 1t cannot be said that
Clearfeld is in arrears upon former de-
mands She has filled her quota every
time. We must look elsewhere for the
difference, and we sincerely trust that
those having this matter in charge will be
prepared TO explain this difference to the
entire satisfaction Of the public.
But let us pursue this subject step
further Erie county, per last census,
had a population of 49, ,432. She is now
called upon ior conscription of 1879.
Clearfeld, Elk, Mexican, Fores. and
Cameron, as per last census, had combin-
ed population of 2449l. Cameron has
been organized since 1860, and we can on
ly estimate her population, which we do
at 1900 making total for the five
counties Of 25,93T, or 23,50l less than
Erie. Those counties are required 10 fur.
