Another Soldier Pleads.

lThe writer of the following extract
from private letter joined the Volrn-
teers, in the West end Of Union county,
from Democratic family. He writes as
hundreds and thousands of the soldiers
are writing, regardless of dead party
issues. DO you suppose the fathers and
friends of those brave men will shut their
ears to their requests? Mono. they
believe their sons and brothers more than
they do the vile political leaders who are
trying to aid the Rebels by overthrowing
the Administration
"And now a word to father, concerning
the election. Dear father, Andrew g..
Curtin is re-nOminated for Governor of
Penn'a, and l want you to vote for him,
and not for Woodward, for A. c. Curtin
does all he can for the soldiers And,
father, | want you to consider that you
have sons in the army and that We want
to be aided and comforted, and therefore,
vote for Curtin. We know what he is.
He does more for the soldiers than any
other Governor in the United States.
Now, father, it is my wish and prayer
that you will vote for Curtin. If we had
all men like Curtin, the war would be over
before this time, but there are too many
traitors. l have not got more for this
time, am well, and hearty, hoping these
few lines will find you all the samo.
Write soon from your kind son.

And completely surrounded fair "Dsrr town" Of old;
They came in professions, ON horseback, on foot,
With banners, with tags, and with trees top aud root
And they entered and Travelled the burg all about,
In cavalcade gay, with song, music and shout;
They ate up the larders they cleaned out the grog,
And they called for more, both of whites and prog
Their speech makers two with topgurs loosely swung,
Vented forth all their dark the 'nAtSes among,
And truth, history, decency, nlik. were assailed,
Till the patience friends and foemen bad failed.

The masses went forth the poll thick and sober
And thousands vanquisb-d-w ooiward the vain,

hvAs there may be some doubts
among Judges of Election as to the right
Of soldiers to vote at their own election
districts without being in the district ten
days previous to the Election, We extract
the following from Judge Woodward's
opinion, in tho case Of Chase vs.. Miller
6 Wright, 42a:
"When soldier returns to his election
district, he resumes all the civil rights of
citizenship, and, his residence being IN
impaired by his temporary absence, he has
right to vote on election day."

FRANCIS J. GRUND, long time intimate
with the leaders of the Democracy, and an
editor of their cage speaks openly for
Curtin, in Philad. He is convinced that
the Rebel and the Copperhead managers
are united in plans for the disfranchise-
ment of foreigners and to stop the spread
Of free principles generally-hence, like a
true German patriot, he repudiates that
party as at present controlled, and stands
by the Administration as the safeguard Of
Union, Liberty, and Progress.

Why Not

If you look at the Statute Book o
Pennsylvania, you will find there is ample
authority for Soldiers, qualified to vote a
home, voting in camps, &C., under proper
restrictions. They did so vote under the
Old Constitution, in New York, in 1912,
and under the New Constitution, in Mexi
co, ls47. They then voted "Democratic'
all right, no opposition
But when the slave Democracy rose in
Rebellion, there was a call for Volunteers,
to save our Nation. The young men
urged to enlist, we're assured that they
should exercise the Freeman's power Of
suffrage, as before. They saw that was
the law, and they supposed it would so
continue. Just here the "Dcmocracy''
stepped in, and decided that voting Vas
Unconstitutional"
Who but Tories would deceive and
cheat our brave men in that way7 En-
courage them to volunteer-and then,
when sworn in for three years, Woodward
and Lowrie shut down the ballot-box
against them!
1t is unfair-it is most mean! And it
is SO manifestly unjust, that thousands of
brothers, sons, fathers, and friends of the
soldiers intend to "heave in few votes
for the boys"-God bless them!
A farmer from Berks county, passing
through Lewisburg, said there were a
great many, there, going to vote as proxies
for voters in the army; as Woodward and
Lowrie had decided the soldiers could not
vote, their folks at home were going to
vote for them! All right.

A-For fragrant, studied, artful alb,

BA-For fragrant, studied, artful abuse
of all concerned in fighting the Rebels,
Carrigan's speech is not often excelled.
Butler, and all the successful Generals
and Statesmen, were especially assailed,
while Mcclellan and his sort we're lauded
/ to the echo.
| A few Of his boldest falsehoods we
are requested to notice.
He said none but Curtin soldiers were
allowed to come home and vote. We
heard of one Copperhead Surgeon that
refused to aid any but Woodward men.
But ask Sam. A. Reed or any other sol
dier now here, if he was required in any
manner to vote for or against any man and
they will brand Carrigan as a wanton
falsifier.
He said the Emancipation Proclama-
ton had killed off the Unionists at the
South. On the contrary, the great maj
ority of true Unionists there deem it a
wise measure, and wherever our armies
go-To sTAY-the Union sentiment is
developing itself stronger. So say Andy
johnson, Judge Adams, Parson Brown
low, Col. Montgomery, and all other
Southern Unionists, though some of them
are Shareholders: they say they are will
ing to lose that sort of property, as well
as any other, to aid the Union cause.
he said Rosecrans lost in the late con-
test because his soldiers had gone home to
vote. The truth is, his men have not
gone home tor any purpose his troops
from Ohio can and will vote in camn.
But the withdrawal from Meade of 20 O0G
men to put down the Copperhead Riots in
New York, was the cause of the weaken
ing of our arms, which otherwise might
have enabled Rosecrans or Meade to make
better time.
Enough. With intelligent men, the
cause of the Administration was strength
ened by the course of the two picsed ora
tors OF the Opposition

rSvCol. Thomas c. M'Dowell, recently
an editor of the Harrisburg Democratic

ale had been struggling for some time
to discover how he could come out from
his old party associations, and he found he
was hugging myth. His duty to his
country, at the present time, was the result
of his considerations. The election of Mr..
Woodward ,oould inpiri the Rebels, and
intervention of foreign powers would hap
