Voting in Camps.

NOW that the election ls over, we can
urge matter which we have heretofore
relrained from urging, lest our motives
might be misconstrued that is, the repeal
of the law providing for the holding of
elections in the camps of the Pennsylvania
volunteers, on the regular election days.
As it has been claimed that majority of
our volunteers were Democrats, it might
have been pretended that we opposed the
law because its operation might favor the
Democratic cause.
But no matter who may be in the ma
jority, the effect of the law is bad. SOL
diers engaged in the service of the coun-
try, with an enemy almost within sight,
should not be disturbed by electioneering
politicians. 1t is evident that they think
so themselves, for in some Regiments no
polls lre,e opened, and in those aoAere they
eosre opened, scarcely half the men voted-
This proves that when men 60 to fight,
they do not care to vote, and probably not
one volunteer in twenty would feel injured
by being deprived of the right of suffrage
while in the army. The officers Of the
army, we know, from the commander in
chief down, condemn the law, and it was
contemplated, at one time, to forbid voting
in the camps. But twas probably thought
well to try single experiment, the oppor.
tunity being thought favorable, as there
was no danger of an attack from the enc
my. But as it has been proved that the
soldiers do not set very high value on
the privilege of voting while in active SER
vice, we trust that the law will be repealed
at the next session Of the Legislature, oil
else that the opening of the polls and th'
introduction of politicians into the camp
will be forbidden by the General in com
mand. The effect Of carrying party poll
tics into the army cannot fail to be mos
dcmoralizing."-Phiia (Rep.) Bulletin.
The above taken in connection with th
vote, and the attempted army frauds il
Philadelphia by the republicans, is prett
significant. Doubtless the soldiers car
less about voting than the anxious politi
clans but the change of tune in the re
publican papers is very remarkable, what
ever the Legislature may think of tn
law.

Something that We Don't Like

"We don't | ike to hear it charged that
everybody who voted against the Union
ticket is not loyal to the Government
First, because it is not true; and second
this kind of talk-from the professional
friends of the Government,puts hope in the
rebels that the disloyal element so charged,
in the North, will more than sympathize
with them after time--in fact-.enco
ges them to hold out. We think these
charges ought to cease. There is way
Of arousing the patriotism of the people at
the North, il it is any way dormant, with
out such.a course"
The above is from an Ohio paper Of
Republican principles. Tt is sensible and
manly. Nothing is so base, and at the
same time SO impolitic, as to charge Dem
ocrats with being Secessionists Are the
people of Pennsylvania, OF the 10000
Democrats of Ohio, traitors or sympathi,
zers with secession They are knaves who
say it I; and their knavery does more harm
to the Union cause than ought else.

Mr.. Breckinridge's Address.

JOHN G. BREcKINRIDGE has issued an
address to the people of Kentucky, which
is quite lengthy, and in which he says
" there is no longer Senate Of the Uni
ted States-the United States no longer
exists--the Union is dissolved" In his
letter he resigns his seat and announces
his intention to exchange his {" six years
term for the musket of soldier" Unless
we mistake the sentiments of majority of
the members of the Senate, his term would
not have lasted six days after the 6rst
Monday in December next

General Fremont.

We publish elsewhere Thurlow Weeds
letter on Gen. Fremont-also an extract
from the North american (Rep.) }, in an
article from the Patriot 8. Union: We
add to these, an article from the Phila.
Saturday Bulletin, (Rcp.), of Nov. 9th,
which is couched in the very strongest
possible language; and we call particular
attention to that, and all else on the sub
ject herewith published. Let the aboli.
tionists howl. The Bulletin says:-
After reading the report of Adjutant
General Thomas, published in yesterdays
Bulletin, no one can pretend that Major
General Fremont is fit to organize or com.
mand an army. We refused to Join in the
clamor against him when it appeared to
be that merely of irresponsible politicians
and editors. But the proofs offered by
General Thomas are overwhelming, and
we only regret that the Government did
not discover, at an earlier day, the mis-.
take it had made in assigning General
Fremont to an important command, or
indeed in giving him a commission at all.
After the exposure made in this report,
one cannot help fearing that the army led
by such General may be drawn into some
fatal ambuscade, and destroyed before it
can be either retired or reinforced. The
chief hope we have, however, is that the
order recalling him may reach him before
he engages the enemy, and that thus the
command of the army will devolve upon
General Hunter, who has the military
experience, intelligence, energy, business
knowledge, bravery, patriotism and integ.
rity that are needed in General. When
he is once in command, we shall begin to
see change in the condition Of the army
in Missouri"
