PERMITTING SOLDIERS TO VOTE.
Special Election, Aug. I'd.

ppcCld1 o4CCl4O4Is mug Aua
A special election will take place in this
State, on the first Tuesday Of August next,
to decide whether the proposed amendments
to the Constitution of the State, permitting
soldiers to vote, shall or shall not be adopt
ed. 1t is vital to the interests of the T.
MON cause that this modification Of the
State Constitution should take place, but to
insure its success beyond the chance of fail
ure, it is essential that every Union voter
should begin at once to canvass his district.
Let no over-cohfdence, in its supposed favor
with the masses, shut any man S eyes to the
fact that there is a systematic, organized
plan inaugurated to defeat it. The Cop
perheads of the State are insidiously and in
dustriously at work to prevent the adoption
of the proposed amendments. They are
satisfied that if the soldiers are permitted TO
vote, Pennsylvania viii cast her ballots for
the standard bearer of the Union party
They know she is loyal to the core. An
overwhelming majority can be secured in
favor of the amendment, if the Union men
will only go to work And why should they
not =? Is the citizen whose conviction of du-
ty and devotion to his country which lead
him voluntarily to risk his life in its defence,
less capable on that account Of saying who
shall administer the affairs Of the govern
ment ? We think not There Is no class
of our population SO well qualified to exer-
else this valuable franchise as the American
soldier In our day ''bayonets think. "
Our soldiers read. They are well versed in
the history and principles of republican
form of government. They are deeply inter
ested in the politics of the country Gath
cred from the best families in the land-in-
tellisent, honest, capable,-the responsible
duty can safely be entrusted to their hands.
Besides, it is in keeping with the spirit of
the people and the genius of our liberal in
stitutions that there should be no barrier to
| their exercising a freeman right-the pri-
vilege of voting Tor their rulers Let the
question, then, be discussed Agitate it,
Mention it to your neighbor See that he
is kept posted. It must not be defeated.
Our enemies hope to succeed by our apathy.
Let us disappoint them. Let there be an
overwhelming vote cast in its favor, which,
while it carries with it moral force to
strengthen the Union cause, will at the same
time send dismay and weakness to our en-
eInies

tons and which should characterize the ad-
ministration of the Government.
ResotUed, That th e Government owes TO
all men employed in its armies, without re-
gard to distinction of color, the full protec-
ton of the laws Of war; applause and that
any violations of these laws, or of the usages
of civilized nations in the time OF war, by
the rebels, now IN. arms, should be made the
subject Of full and prompt redress. Pro
longed applause.
ReSOtce,t, That the foreign immigration
which in the past has added so much to the
wealth and developement of resources and
increase of power to this nation-the asSy
lum OF the oppressed Of all nations-should
be restored and encouraged by liberal and
Just policy.
Resolred, That we are in favor of the
speedy construction of the railroad to the
Pacific.
ResoLre3, That the national faith pledged
for the redemption of the public debt must
be kept inviolate, and that 70, this purpose
we recommend economy and rigid response
blllty in the public expenditures, and Wig
or0us and just system Of taxation that 1t
is the duty of every loyal State to sustain
the credit and promote the use of the ma
tional currency Applause
ReSOlCed, That We approve the position
taken by the Government that the people
Of the United States can never regard with
indifference the attempt Of any European
Power to overthrow by force or to supplant
by fraud, the institutions of any Republican
Government on the Western Continent; and
that they will view with extreme jealousy,
as menacing to the peace and independence
Of this our country, the efforts of any such
Powers to obtain new footholds for Monarch
ical Governments, sustained by a foreign
military force in near proximity to the Uni
ted States. Long continued applause.
The reading Of the heresolutions elected the
widest outbursts Of enthusiasm, especially
the emancipation and anti-slavery sentiments
enunciated The mention of the name cf
Abraham Lincoln was received with tremen-
dous cheering, the whole house rising and
waving hats and handkerchiefs. The reso-
luton indorsing the Monroe doctrine was al
SO received with great applause. On mo
tion of Mr.. Bushnell, of Connecticut, the
resolutions were adopted by acclamation.
The Convention now proceeded to the
nomination of President, by the call of
States, which resulted as follows:
