The WAY It Is Going.

The following will serve to show our read
ers how the nominations of the Union Ma
tional Convention are received by those who
have heretofore been opposed to the renom-
ination of President Lincoln:
The Chicago Stats Zeitung, an able ex-
ponent Of liberty, is not the only German
paper in the Northwest that supports Mr.
Lincoln for the Presidency, as has been
stated. The Iowa Tribune, the leading
German paper Of Southern Iowa, has raised
the Lincoln and johnson flag. 1t says /:
The great National Convention, in the
name Of a mighty people, expressed its de-
cision, and to that we submit
The Boston Herald, by far the ablest and
most popular Democratic paper in New
Ergland-counting off the subscribers by
hundreds when others have but there tens
comes out for Lincoln and johnson. There
will not be bogus Democracy enough left for
seed in New England.
The Armstrong Democrat, published at
kittaning, Armstrong county, Pa, the old
Democratic organ, has hoisted the ticket OF
Lincoln and johnson. 1t assigns as rea-
son for this course the necessity of the u
Mon of all parties, at this time, for the safe
ty Of the Union.
The Lawrence Journal, we'll known De.
| mocratic paper, published at New Castle,
| Lawrence county, Pa, has abandoned the
so-called Democratic party, and hoisted to
the masthead the names of Lincoln and
| johnson.

The rebel editors turn with i,nploring
looks TO their Northern friends in this
hour OF trial to come TO the rescue and break
down the wall of fire which is encrcling
them There is no doubt, says the At
lanta hstelltgeace-, that there are, in the
Western States, a large number of men op-
posed to the abolitian war. The vote in
Ohio, during the last gubernatorial election,
exhibited the fact that over 100000 voters
in that State were opposed TO the war, and
over Illinois, we feel certain that thousands
Ohioans will join the melee. Nothing could
give us greater satisfaction than the sight of
the Copperheads engaged in cutting the
throats of lincoln hirelings."

Free MARYLAND.

The Constitutional Convention of the State
Of Maryland, in session at Annapolis, has
adopted bya two-third vote, (53 yeas against
q nays an article in the Bill of Rights
which reads as follows:
Hereafter in this State there shall be
neither slavery nor involuntary servitude,
except in punishment for crime, whereof the
party shall have been duly convicted ; and
all persons held TO service or labor as slaves
are hereby declared free
that is thus provided m for, nor is anything
said about-compensation to loyal or disloyal
owners The declaration is as noble as it is
just. Regenerated, ,disenthralled Maryland

Hon. a. W. Scnfield.

Some weeks since we expressed our con-
viction that the Hon. Glenni ". Scofeld,
the talented and efficient member of Con-
gress from this District, had, by his course,
rendered such general satisfaction, that his
denomination would be conceded by his
friends throughout the District In this O.
pinion We find ourselves confirmed by an ed
itorial paragraph in the Erie Gazette of
June 3oth. The Gazette says:
THE last number of the Girard Union
contains an editorial article strongly urging
the denomination of Hon G. w. Scofeld
for Congress In thus recommending Judge
Sco6eld the Union reflects the almost unan-
imous wish of the Union party throughout
the 10th District He should be, and we
trust will be, re-nominated without any
manifested opposition.

SHALL SOLDIERS VOTE2

This is pertinent, as well as an impor-
tant question and is directed to every friend
of the noble and brave defenders of the T.
MON, without regard to former political pre-
dilectiors And, what is your answer? No
doubt, every truly loyal heart in Pennsylva-
MIA will give an affirmative pulsation. But,
in the great interest manifested in the pres
ent military operations, and the approach
ing Presidential campaign, there is danger
that the people viii overlook the important
question which is to be decided at the polls
on the FIRST Tuesday in August, giving all
qualified electors in actual military service
under requisition of the President of the
United States, or by authority Of the Com
monwealth, the right of suffrage in all e.
leetions by the citizens" For more than
three years tens of thousands of our citizens
have been disfranchised while aiding in the
suppression of the rebellion, and it is high
time that this injustice should cease. There
is no reason why We, who remain at home,
should be more highly favored in this res
pect than those who are fighting the battles
oftheir country. They have left their homes
and all that they hold dear on earth, and
are risking health, and even life itself, to Sc
cure US in the peace and comfort we now en-
JOY In becoming soldiers, they have not
ceased to be citizens, and have as much right
b say who shall govern the State and nation
as we have 1t is duty we owe to them
that we establish them firmly in tn exercise
of this right It has been delayed too long
already and tor that reason we should the
more gladly restore them to their just privi-
leges now. We hope the pie everywhere
will realize the Importance of this question,
and keep it steadily in view until the day o:
election. The opposition are vitally inter
ested in the defeat of this proposition, and
are doing much, in quiet way, to secure
their purpose. They know too well that the
soldiers are for the Union Internationally,
and they can not and will not vote, at the
coming elections, with those who sympathise
with the enemies of that Union IF en- ap-
athy is permitted to exist among the people
upon this question,it may be lost. The op-
position dare not and are too shrewd, as a
general thing, to openly oppose it, but their
efforts are none the less determined No
true friend of the soldiers can vote against
this measure, and if Justice is to be done our
veterans, every loyal man must see to it
that it is triumphantly carried at the COM
ing special election in August
Raftsman's journal. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1854-1948, 1864-07-06

FACTS ABOUT THE SUS-It has been es-
timated that the heat emitted from every
square foot of the sun surface in an hour
is equivalent to that produced by the com
bustion Of l 800 Tbs. of coal, and the me
chanical work which that quantity of coal is
able to produce is equal to that of 1000
horses. The light and heat of the sun are
far greater than any that can be produced
artifcially-nevertheless, such rapid loss
of heat as that constantly given out would,
in long course of years, occasion a Sensi-
bic effect, If there were no means Of restor-
ing the los. power. Some suppose that the
fall of meteorites into the sun keeps up It's
heat. Others that the contraction of the
sun a l0,00Oth part of its diameter would
generate sufficient heat to maintain its pres
ent heating force for nearly 5000 years.
Assuming the density of the sun to be equal
to that of the earth, a similar amount OF
contraction would suffice for ten millions OF
wears.

When General Sickels was in the Goth
Congress, he requested tie School Commis-

lie schools the lad most worthy of place at
