time with an election where there was no
opposition. And while they would thus
throw our party off their guard, the whole
Copperhead vote was to be brought out in
those districts where their organization
would not arouse the Loyal vote.
In to-days paper will be seen in tabu-
lar form, the vote of the county; from an
examination of which, we see that insthis
hope, the Copperheads have been disap-
opinted, 10 their credit be it said, that
the Republican districts did not let the
throng of harvest, nor the absence of the
Copperheads prevent them from deposit
ing their emphatic vote in behalf of the
first amendment--the soldiers right to
Vote. Look for instance, at Buffalo, Clin-
ton, Adams, Cranberry, Penn, Worth,
Muddycreek, Clay, Allegheny, Parker,
Fairview, Washington and Cherry
Our brave soldiers must not think, that
because the Democratic vote is not polled
in force against them in these townships.
that it was in their favor not at all. In
Buffalo, for example, three or four voted
for the amendment, while quite number
came out to vote against it, but finding no
tickets, and not knowing how to write
them, they went home in disgust-the
history of Buffalo is repealed in all the
other townships above named And in
no township in our county did the Demo
cratic vote go for the amendment.
Then look for moment at the vote of
the Democratic townships. Marion, We
mango, Donegal, Clearfeld, Winfield, Jack
son, Summit, Brady, and if you please,
finish your review on the borough of But
Ter, and here you will see that their old
majorites are made up, or as nearly so, as
the desperate character of their case
would admit Occasionally there was
an honest fathsr or brother of a brave
soldier who would not obey the behests
of these heartless leaders; but such ca
ses were few.
We place the vote of last fall on. Cur
tin and Woodward beside the vote of last
Tuesday week, allowing the soldiers the
right to vote; by comparison of these
two votes, it will be seen that no district
in the county has given vote in favor of
amendment, much, if any stronger than
the vote given for Curtin last fall. But
this vote needs no lengthy explanation at
our hands-intelligent readers can do so
for themselves, Suffice it to say. that
this meanest of plots to defeat proper
and necessary amendment to the organic
law of our State has signally failed Tie
soldiers viii now be allowed the right of
suffrage, and on. the second Tuesday of
October, we may expect to see vote from
our gallant army, which will be most
powerful and telling rebuke to those who
have thus disgraced themselves by secret
ly endeayoring to deprive them of their
rights.

our own part we have not given the mat

gent opinion, but trust our Legislators
viii examine the matter carefully aud do
what seems right. The stockholders, we
suppose; have little interest in the mat

n1y" On two occasions we called the
attention of the editor of the Herald, to
the fact that an election was to be held
for the purpose of voting on a proposed
amendment to the Constitution, extend
ing the right of suffrage to the qualified
voters of this Commonwealth who had,
or should hereafter go into the Union
Army and requested him to inform his
readers of the fact, and to solicit their at
tendance, but he nevertheless RETAINED
from doing SO; that election is now
over, and the amendment aforesaid adop-
ted, by a large majority. VIII the Herald
please inform its readers of this fact, and
congratulate them upon the fact that the
Great Democratic army Gas they always
insisted it is) will have an opportunity of
voting for the Idol of the army-Little
Mac. and on peace platform at that.

in extra session, in obedience to the Gov

chief business viii be to organize a re-

This should have been done long since;
but inclining to believe that each raid
was the last, our Legislators were unwil-

not stand in the way of thoroughly pro-

the future. Let the work be well and

Bsg- 1t was mean enough for the Cop
perheads to vote against the soldiers, but
it was meaner still for them to use for this
purpose the tickets which we had prepa-
red, for the use of their friends, yet this
was frequently done by men in this boro.,
by scoring out for" and writing against"
in its placel This seems to us to be the
very essence Of meanness, and yet men
claiming to be honorable done it.
