you can't expect tho negro to be ft to enjoy
freedom after having been kept in slavery for a
hundred years. Slavery disquali6es him for
freedom, they say and they insist on keeping
him in slavery, TO disquslify him a few years
longer, by way of qualifying him fer being
freemen. Laughter aud cheers It lie all

HEAD QUARTERS,

TaH RECENT VOTE of the soldiers show con-
Clusively how well grounded are the Copper
heads fears Of the brave boys who are fight
ing the battles of liberty. 1t is all well
enough to let them go and bare their breasts
to the storm of rebel balls aud bayonets
which confront them on their march, but il
will never do to let them have vote. Tht
boys, however, think differently, and so toe
do the patriotic Union people Of the north
and the recent victories in Pennsylvania
and Ohio, prove the wisdom of their con
clusions, to the great joy of the friends o
the Union and the dismay of the enemies o
freedom.

81 WANT MORE NRN," was the constant
cry Of Mcclellan while on the Peninsula
He is making the same demand now, in view
OF the slimness Of his ranks as shewn in the
recent elections. But now, as then, he will
call in vain. lie has already got all he can
get. The same honest old patriot that he
charged with having withheld his men then,
still withholds them, nor will they forsako
him until they shall have proclaimed him
President of the United States for another
term. They have resolved to honor Abra-
ham Lincoln with recollection.

tion have never dared to utter syllable
against the sterling honesty of purpose and
eminent ability of that gentleman as Re-
preventative OF the people. The hardest
thing his opponents have ventured TO assert
against him is that be is an sbolitionist !
