C0PPERHEADs AND THE SOLDIERS

Al the '.protracted" meeting of the Copper
heads, held in the Court Housc on " edneSday
evening. the prime ipa! speaker Mr.. Northrop
SAID in substance
'.That the time was approaching when the
people of Pena>y ivania would be- called upon
to vote upon some amendments to the Consti
tutioD--that it was all wrong tor the soldiers
who were from home and in another State, to
vote--that that matter should be left with
those who remained at home--and he would
advise every Democrat to vote against the
amendments, for what right have the sold icrs
TO vote?''
The above sentiments Of Mr.. NOrthrop are
in perfect accordance with the decision Of Mr.
Jnstice Woodward ,distranchising the soldiers,
aud with the principles OF the party of which
he is the standard bearer They are opposed
To the soldiers voting because they know they
will not vote toI Woodward. They are opposed
to il, because they desire to do everything to
make the life of the soldier revolving that the
Government may have the greater difficulty
in filing up the armies. They will, however
be disappointed They will discover that
majority of the citizens of Pennsylvania are
loyal and true, and that they will accord to
the soldiers the right to vote, by an amend
ment 10 the Constitution, and so forever put
il out of the power OF such nien as Mr.. Wood
ward To deprive them of the privilege.

JUDGE LowRIE's DIsLoYAtTY.

At the Union meeting in the 3rd Ward,
Allegheny city, on Monday evening of last
week, the Hon. Thomas j. Digham related
the following incident, the authority OF
Mr.. Crezier, aud number of citizens OF
Mount Troy:
''On the morning of the 4th of July last,
two Union soldiers called at Judge Lowrie's
residence, and stated that they were hungry,
without money. end asked for breakfast. The
Judge appearing at the door, ordered them in
sullen, peremptOry MANNER to leave his
premises. Some aItercaton of words eDsued
when the Judge added that he 1eoWid prefer
giDing bread 10 rebels rather Than Union SOL
diers."
Mr.. B. said he made this statement at the
request of the parties, who were present and
ready to vouch for its tcuthfuness. 1t would
seem from the above that the Supreme Judge
candidates of the Copperheuds are both very
bad eggs.

a MEAN FRAUD.

The Copperhead organs in their desperate
efforts to obtain the sanction of respectable
and responsible names to prop their falling
cause, are publishing a letter of Gen. Cass,
endorsing their extreme peace and officiating
doctrines. 1t is only necessary to say that
Gen. Cass, who writes the letter referred o,
is not General Lewis Cass, the sterling old pa
trot and Democrat, of Michigan, who resign
ed from the Cabinet Of james Buchanan at the
time the o. P. F. was selling out the country
to pack of traitors and doughfaces; but Gen
eral Geo. W. Cass, OF Penusy lvania, a very
different person. The Copperheads must be
in bad way to resort to such miserable
trick aud cuuBterfeiI this.
Gen. CasS. the Statesman and patriot, is no.
bly, supporting the Administration in its efforts
to suppress the rebelion. He is war Demo

THE WAR NEWS.

Gen. Rosecrans is still at Chattanooga. No
change has taken place in the situation of the
two armies. Oar army is in good fighting
trim, compact in organization, well supplied
with provisions, has plenty of ammunition,
and is full of confidence. Rosecrans is re-
ceving reinforcements. The casualties of
the late battle at Chicamauga creek are given
as follows Killed l, 800; wounded $500 ta-
ken prisoners 800; total loss l3 500. The
rebel loss is said to be about 10000.
CHARLESTON have no news Of great
events from this place. Gilmore is still en-
gagged in perfecting his Notifications on Nor
ris Island. The rebels keep up fire upon
him, but with no effect. Gilmore throws an
occasional she'll ut Sumter, Johnson, ana 9th
rebel Notifications, to let the enemy know
that he is still on hand. The 1ron-clads pay
their respects to Moultrie frequently enough
to prevent the rebels from making repairs
aud strengthening their position.
RAPPAHANNoCK.-ThiS portion OF our army
seems to be lying quiet. No advance has
been made beyond 'iu lpepper.

ANnTHER DEMOCRAT.

Col. THOMAS G. Mcdowell, heretofore con-
nected with the Patriot and Union" of Har-
risburg, and who was Lieutenant Colonel OF
the S4th Regiment Pa. Vol, has announced
his adhesion to the cause of Curtin and Ag-
new, and is now stumping the State for the
Union candidates. Ia speech at Beaver he
said that
1T was the duty of the North to show the
South that they were determined to pnt down
the rebellion, and that the loyalty of the \ or
thern Democrats would be demonstrated in
the support of CURTIN"
Everywhere we hear similar declarations.
The people are rising. The Democratic mass
es with all their love for the organization,
cannot be brought to endorse its completely

ly spurnng their party allegiance, and giving
their voice to the cause of the Union. The

SOLDIERS RIGHT TO VOTE.

The following ertract from a scctinn of the
Election Laws OF Pennsy lvaaia, in re latioD to
troops, has been going the rounds of the Cop
perhead papers OF the State
.'No body of troops in the army of the
nited States, or OF this Commonwealth shall be
present, either armed or uHprncd, during the
time of such election"
The whole section can be found in the ..Di-
gest Of Elections Laws, with which each Eec
tiou Board is furnished, pages I55 6. sec
tion % and reads as follows:
sNo body OF troops in the army of the Uni
ted States, or of this Commonwealth, sba j be
pres, nj either armed or unarned, during the
time OF such election Prorided, That nothing
herein contained shall be So co distracted as to
prevent any officer or soifer rom exercising
the right of suffrage in the election district TO
which he may belong il otherwise qualified
according TO law.''
Why d id they not publish the whole of the
election, iastead of garbled extract {! The
only reason can assign is, their desire to
produce thelfalse impression that soldiers have
30 right to vote, even il present on the day of
election, in the district TO which they respec
lively belong. 1t is shallow device to de-
prive the soldiers of their right of suffrage.

THE RAFTsulAN's JOURNAL.
A FACT.

One of the secrets OF the opposition Of the
Copperheads to the soldiers who fight the bat
ties of the Union, is undoubtedly because
these soldiers believe that if they support or
sympathized with WOODWARD, they might
thereby induce LEE to make another invasion
into Pennsylvania. The Copperheads might
as consistently ask the soldiers 10 sympath-
iZe with LEE as with WOODWARD.

A SCARE

The Copperhead organs are publishing a
statement that the Government is about to
make another Draft OF 600, 900. This is ut
terly and entirely false. A despatch from
Washington states that .'uo additional Draft
is contemplated. The story is got up for
political purposes, and is on par with many
others they have manufactured out of the
whole cloth
