rfA- The new questions growing out OF

Voted t5r a Nsyro.-In Scott township,
Luzerne county, the Copperheads threw
their votes for Constable in favor of
VIM. FOgg, the only colored man in the
township. He is a true Union man, and
more respected than many who voted for
him 10 deIision. The Copperbeads are
IN a minority, and did not elect their can
didate, but they put themselves on the
record as voting for Negro. As negroes
can not vote nor hold Office, We can't see
how the Copperheads can reconcile their
votes with the ''ConsliiulioD," and with
their attempt TO prevent such men from
settling in our borders! "The COnsti'u-
