Woodward?


In the last issue of the Republican the editor
undertook to give a list of those who would sup
port the respective candidates for Governor in
the coming election His classification was not
near full enough, and we take the liberty of ad-
ding to it. Among the supporters of Andy Cur.
tin will be found:


Every original disunionist in the State, from
Thad. Stevens down.


Every one who avows that the Union as it
was cannot be restored.


Every one who asserts that the war can only
end in the extinction of slavery.


Every one who believes the Constitution to be
a covenant with death and league with hell"


Every one who sanctions the repeated viola
tions of that sacred instrument.


Every one who believes that Lincoln may vi
olate it at his pleasure.


Every one who justifes the arrest, the impris-
onment, and the exile of Democratic editors
and orators for exercising the plainly guaranteed
constitutional sights of free speech.


Every one who believes Lincoln may suspend
the writ Of ha5eas corpus at his pleasure.


Every one who believes he may do away with
the sacred right of trial by jury.


Every one who believes that the negro race
is superior to the white.


Every one who believes the negro to be the
equal of the white man.


Every one who wants to see him admitted to
social and political equality, and like Judge Ag-
new would desire to see the Constitution OF
Pennsylvania so amended as to give him right
to vote.


Every one who believes that the white race
would be improved by amagamation with the
black.


Every one who believes that this is war for
the freedom of the negro.


Every one who believes that it neither can nor
ought to end except in the extinction of slavery.


Every one who endorses the emancipation
policy of the President.


Every one who thinks the nation can only be
saved by the help of negro soldiers.


Every one, in short, who believes in an anti
slavery Constitution, an anti-slavery Bible, an
anti-savery God, and all the foolish and perni-
cious proclamations of Abraham, the faithful
father of the contrabands


Every one who has been engaged in plumber
ing the public treasury, except it may be Simon
Cameron.


Every shoddy contractor.


Every maker of shoes with paper soles.


Every manufacturer who is making fortune
out of government contracts.
ssTs-5 sssurupr ssneial who has both hands up
to tho elbows in the public cutters.


Every greedy scoundrel who thinks lie will
soon get his paws in.


Every ''green-back patriot


Every man who is making money out of the
war.


Every one who has made fortune out of it.


Every one who expects to make fortune out
of it.


Every one who holds an Office under Lincoln.


Every one who holds an Office under Curtin.


Every Provost Marshal, and all in their en-
ploy.


Every tax collector and assessor, and, in short,
the whole gang of vampires who are fattening
on the blood of the people and the treasure of
the nation will vote for Andrew q. Curtin
But these, long as the list is, and numerous as
they are, are not yet strong enough to carry the
coming election.


There is much larger class who will vote for
George w. Woodward. Among these will be
found, every man who is loyal to the Constitu-
ton; every one who desires to see the Union
restored; every one who knows his own rights





as freeman and respects the rights OF his fel-
low citizens; every true friend Of liberty, and
every hater of despotism; every one who de-
sires to see the majesty of the civil law preserv-
ed inviolate every one who believes that this
government was made by white men for white
men every one who is in favor of keeping the
negroes in their proper place as an interior and
dependent race; every one who has sense enough
to see how much our liberties are endangered by
the assumptions of arbitrary power by the pres
ent administration; every one who condemns
the negro war policy of the President and his
advisers; in short every conservative thinking
man in the State, together with the honest mas
ses who are suffering from the multiplied woes
this war has brought upon us, and who desire
to see it end speedily, and in manner honora-
BILE and just to all parties. These constitute
vast majority of our population, and they will
speak their sentiments in thunder tones at the
ensuing election. If we have free vote we
have no fear but that the result will be glori-
Gus triumph. Nothing can prevent this but
force or fraud at the polls, and that we do not
think our opponents will dare to attempt
The Position Of Brutus ]. Clay not Sat-
