Soldiers Voting.

Wehave received several communications, one
now before from soldier, propounding the in
ouiry whether soldiers can vote. and whether any
steps have been taken to give them the opportu-
nifty to do so. The same inquiries have been ad
dressed to the officers of State. The Indanapo-
lis Journal answered these inquiries few weeks
ago. and as it probably represented the opinion
entertained by the State officials upon the sub
iect we reproduce it as a response to the inquiries
mlde of US:
From the Indianapolis Journal, August IL, 1862
SOLDIERS. VorISe-We have received and pub
lished several letters suggesting that steps be
ken to allow the soldiers from this State to vote at
the coming election, and the officers of this State
have received hundreds OF similar character.
| As an answer to all, We may say that in the Opin-
ion of the best lawyers of the State, such meas
ure can be constitutionally adopted. 1 he 2d sec
ton OF the 81 article of the State Constitution
provides that all persons entitled to vote shall
''uOfe ia the tolcnShip l1hich they reside" Sol
diers in the field in the camp can not comply
with this provision, and as it is in the COnstitu
tion the Legislature can not set 1t aside, nor the
/ Executive make any order TO evade it. Pennsyl-
/ vania adopted such "A measure last year, and the
courts decided il unconstitutional and set aside the
of the soldiers, thus putting out of office on
i or TWO men VINO nau got I'D DV very naIuSoine ma
iOrties The courts here would doubtless do so
too and we can't we'll see how they could do
otherwise. Besides, the introduction of partisan
differences into the army, the canvassing for can
didates and the revival of old party feelings is a
measure of very questionable utility.
All citizens of Indiana who volunteer are
otherwise engaged in the military service of the
/ State or the United States entitled, in the
Rang uage the CONSTITUTION, VuIe H. the town
ship or precinct where they may reside, but they
can only vote in the township or precinct where
they resided the time they volunteered other
wise entered upon said service. They can not
acquire a residence in any other township or pre-
cinct while soldier in the service of the State
or Federal Government by reason of having been
stationed within the same. Neither can a SOL
der, seaman marine, in the army or navy OF
the United States, acquire residence in the
State, in consequence of having been stationed
within the same, and consequently such sol
der, seaman or marine has the right to vote.
These the constitutional provisions on the
right of voting. and we state them so that there
may be no misapprehension upon the subject and
in reply to the inquiries made of us in reference
| thereto

The Journal thinks THAT the new revenue
bill before the Confederate Congress is a singer"
Ii takes one filth of all produce, profit and IN
Oar disunien neishhnr Gays if we would
not think it impertinent, it would like to ask us
how much better this tax bill is than the one we
are $50 constantly denouncing" The Journal
pronounced the Montgomery Constitution ''about
as good charter of government as could have
been devised, but ga weighty tax bil'' appears
to be one of its results. And in reply to its in
quiry we respond that the tax bill of the Confed
crate Congress alone concerns the people who
will be called upon TO pay the tribute. II is their
business, not ours. We care not whether it is
better or worse than ours. We have no
tced one thing, however, that the Republican
Congress and Administration have closely
followed the legislation and policy of the
the South If the Confederate tax bill is more
onerous than ours that disparity will not continue
longer than the next session of Congress, if the
President does not anticipate its action by proc
lamation" to that effect. Think back little
The Confederate treasury note system was rdi
culed by the Republicans. but in short time
military necessity" or Republican inancering,
forced similar policy upon us. Our Govern
ment has carried it to a greater extreme than the
Confederate. We issue FIVE cent, ten cent, twenty
five cent and fifty cent shinplasters. They have
not yet got into so little a business. We rdi-
culed the Confederate CONSUMPTION, and the Jour
nal pronounced the rumor that We should resort
to a draft Democratic lie. Hardly was the lux
dry upon the paper that the denial was printed
upon before draft on our part was ordered.
The rebels mass their troops and the cry goes up
from the Republican press, why do we permit the
Confederates to out general US? JEFF. DAVIS
proclaims fast and LINCOLN follows suit. And
so we could 60 on almost indefinitely and illus
trate how closely the party in power follows the
rebel lead. And to all our accommodating Re-

raj tax bill in order that the Government may be
defeated without it, and that we are constantly
dencuncing it. Our neighbor, in these charges,
draws strangely upon its Imagination We have
never opposed q tax bill, bat have ever main
tanned that it was necessity to sustain the Gov
eminent We have, however. expressed the opn-
ion that The tax law. was unequal and that it dis
crnnated against the agricultural districts
of the country This would not have been if the
Republican members of Congress representing
those districts had not permitted the shrewd and
selfish Yankee Representatives to overreach
them. And this much we say further, that if the
war debt should ever be repudiatcd and the tax

One of the rebel Generals. upon paroling some
of the Union soldiers in Kentucky. told them to
ego home and vote the Republican ticket"
Whyf inquired one of the paroled soldiers. In
reply the rebel officer stated that the only hope
the South had for securing its independence was
in the Republican party maintaining its control
of the Federal Government. His idea was this:
Under certain contingencies the Republicans
would consent to a separation of the States.
They would be willing to let the rebel States
"go," If they could not succeed in subjugating
them and freeing their slaves. Onthe other hand,
all the Democratic Conventions in the North
ern States had taken decided and strong ground
against the dissolution of the Union under any
circumstances. and if the Democratic party
restored to power, it would adhere undeviatingly
to a restoration of the Union. For these reasons
the rebels desire the supremacy of the Republi-
can party in the Government, and they influenced
the rebel General to advise the paroed Union
soldiers to vote the Union ticket"

One off Them.

The Journal of yesterday, referring to those
who favored dissolution of the Union before the
war began, says:
That sentiment may have been rubbed out Of
them in the rough contact OF battle, but no man
who has ever held it should be trusted with any
duty that affects the lie and power of the Gov
eminent.
That sentiment was held by the editor of the
Journal and its adherents during the fall of 1860
and the winter of ls6O-6I. In evidence thereof
we quote the following from that paper:
IRON the Indianapolis Journal, Novembel Is, 1861
They know very well that if they are deter
mil ed to leave the Union. no Republican roiH
care 10 hGce them stay. A Union preserved only
by intimidation aud force is mockery, and IL is
better broken than srhOIe. If South Carolina and
her associates ia folly really want to leave the
Union, they can go without a word OF objection
from any man north of Mason and Dxons line.
We do not believe in resisting any
cession movement in the least.
On the 20th of August, 1861, four months af-
ter the fall of Sumter. the Journal said lit had
seen no reason to change The rielcs advocated last
toinfer" 1t was willing that the line between
the North and South should be just where South
Carolina and her associates should desire it, for
it did mot believe in resisting any secession
timent in the least"
The Journal is consistent in one regard. 1t
SAYS that no man who has ever favored a disso-
luton of the Union should be trusted with any
duty that affects the life and honor of the Gov
ernment For this reason the editor Of that print
keeps out of the army-and studiously avoids
any duty that affects the life and power of the
Government. The Journal professionally advo-
Gates prosecution of the war because it and its
immediate friends can make money out of the
miseries of the country, buff it could make FIVE
dollars or five cents more by reiterating its
sion sentiments of lS6O-6l, it would be advo-
eating the same doctrines now and henceforth.

whether he will obey the acquisitions of the Gov
eminent upon him, unless the war is conducted
to meet his notions, and the Geners's appointed
whom he thinks should command our armies?
Are not Governors ANDREW and MORTON carrying
out the extreme Southern State rights doctrine,
which they have so earnestly condemned, and
which is the straight patirway 70 secessonism7
When the Governors of States attempt to coerce
the Federal Government to pursue policy they
may dictate, assuming powers delegated to the
United States Government by the States, it is as
much act of rebellion as the refusal of the
seeding States to reOrganize and yield to the

The only hope now for the restoration of the
Union and the Constitution is in the return of
the conservative party to power This is the
question for tho people Of Indiana to decide at
the election one week from to- morrow, Tuesday,
October the 14th
What faith can the people place in the party
which now rules the Government. Remember
war was the restoration of the national authority
and unity, and no interference with the constitu-
tional rights or domestic Institutions of the
States. This pledge of the nation is violated in
the Emancipation Proclamation OF the President.
Is more evidence needed of the designs of those

desire to see four millions of helpless negroes
set free to still further tax the industry of the ma
ton? Do they want to purchase the slaves OF
the Border Slave States and colonize them at a
cost OF five hundred millions to the public
treasury
Let the ballot box answer these important in
quiries. They are all involved in the vote soon
to be given.
We ask every good citizen to give one day to
his country. As he values constitutional liberty
and all the blessings it confers, we appeal to each
voter to discharge the duty devolving upon him
faithfully and Iearlessly. Not only vote yourself,
but see that every neghbor votes Its not contest

We believe the great heart of the people beats

that on the evening of the 18th of October no

to have done his whole duty. Let not defeat

sy- Gov. Andrew, Of Mass, said in New York
the other day that the Government should not
have man from his State until a change in the
command of the army was effected. So says the
Boston Courier.

A Lying Circular.

We have been shown a circular which is being
distributed in portions of this District, the
contents of which are villi6cation and misrepre-
sentation of the political and private character of
Mr.. CoSDUIrr, the Democratic candidate for
Congress for this District. 1t is anonymous, but
is authors are known. This attack upon Mr.. @.
prompted by malice and revenge. 1t comes
from men who, if they had their deserts, would
now be in the penitentiary. They were the prime
instigators in the ballot box stuffiug which dis
graced the county of Morgan for several years.
Their malice is accounted for by the fact that Mr..
CONDUIT actively assisted in bringing to light
BY judicial investigations the deep dyed villainy
by which elections in that county were for seve-
raj years made a farce. 1t was only by packing
Grand Juries for several terms of the courts that
the perpetrators of these infamous frauds upon
the elective franchise were able to evade ndict-
ment and the just punishment of their crimes.
The nominal editor Of the sheet upon whose press
the thing was printed was. not long since, we are
advised, soundy cOwhided by the present Demo-
cratic candidate for the Legislature IN Morgan
county, for the vlleness of his scurrilty when re-
Ierrins IN ms piper tO.that gentIeman.
The whole circular, if such it may be called, is
from beginning to end a tissue Of misrepresenta
tions. The political record OF Mr.. Conduit has
often been before the people of his county, where
he has been known from boyhOOd, and he has
always been handsomely sustained, even when
the party 70 which he belonged was in the minor
ity. His consistency in political action, purity of
moral character, and admitted devotion to bust
ness duties have commended him most to those
who best know him. This effort to injure him
by flooding the country with bilIingsgate and
blackguardsm will only increase the ardor of his
friends and react in his favor even with such as
differ with him politically But one paper has
yet given it publicity, and that is known in Han
cock county as the 'smut machine" 1t is print
which delights in making its meals on good
mems Names and its political stock in trade is
Misrepresentation AID SANDER We should not
have alluded to this dirty attempt to iljure Mr.
CoNDUIrT. if the distribution OF the slanderous
circular confined to that portion of the Dis
trict wh.re his political and private character
known. But as il may reach those who are not
acquainted with either. we have thought il due
Mr.. CoSDUITT that we should thus notice it,
