The Army Vote.

We have many vague rumors as to what
the men in Office and the men who wish to
stay in office are striving to do with the
army vote, if it is, ns they are satisfied
now it is, against them. Now kaSSing
the parties as well as we do, and their
great regard for their personal comfort and
safety, We have not the slightest fear that
they will attempt to do the dirty things
they contemplate. They are awsre that
the friends Of the people know 10 dot ex-
sctly what the army vote was, and that
ang attsmpt to tapper whit, or introduce
Regiment potes ntyer cast, will be to sub
ject themselves to danger they are not
willing to endure, or they would peril
their yaluelsss lives in defense Of the Uuion
on the battle field, side by side with the
brave. Democrats whom they have dared
10 charged with being disloyal, and whose
honest votes they would now cast aside.
IHgY WILL NOT DARE DO THIS, no
matter how great their love of Office may
be-for such an experiment would make
Office, if they got it, of but little value, as
the tenurs of Office does not enure to heirs
and assigns, but ia personal franchise.

You correctly estimate the deep interest
which iced, in common with the citizens
who will there be assembled, in the present
condition of our country. This is indeed
serious but our recent military reverses,
SO far from producing despondency in the
minds OF loyal and powerful people, will
only animate them TO more mighty exer-
tions in sustaining war which has become
inevitable, by The assault OF the Confederate
States upon Fort Sumter,
For this reason, were ii possible for me
TO address you, waving all other topics, |
should confine myself 10 solemn and
earnest appeal to my countrymen, and esp.
ecialy those without families, 10 volunteer
for the war, and join the many thou.

This is The moment lor action for prompt
energetic and united action aud not lor the
discussion Of peace propositions. These, we
must know, would be rejected by the States
that have seeded, unless We should offer
to recognize their independence, which is
entirely out Of the question
Better counsels may hereafter prevail,
when these people shall be convinced that
The war conducted not for their conquest or
subjugalion, but solely for the purpose of
bringing Them back 10 their original posi-
lion in The Union, without impairing in The
slightest degree any OF their constitutional
rights

The greatest indignation is manifested
among the Pennsylvania Volunteers, at
intinstions in some of the Philadelphia
papers, that the vote il to be thrown out
by the Judges, on che ground Of frauds
and informality. It is piece Of shame
less trickery.
A number of high officials from Phils.
delpha Undertook to regulate the vote, and
gave out beforehand that it gave a majori.
ty to the peoples party. Then all was
right But now that their scheme has
failed, they desire to throw out the whole
vote.
But for the effsrt of these parties, who
from their official position had the freest
access to all the camps, the vote would
have been more largely Democratic. Il
is known that in several cases they destroy.
ed the Democratic tickets.
If fraud has been practised il has been
by these officials, and not by the volun-
teers. The election was conducted in ev-
cay camp with conscientious fairness, and
its rejection would be an unequalled out
rage.
