HIS lIIe auu llmDS TO protect the same
Read the list carefully:
Clarion and Jefferson.
The soldier stood no chance for any of
fee in this dark Copperhcad region.
Adams County.
This county gives, usually, Copper
head majority; not a soldier was honored
with a nomination.
L.ycoming County.
The notorious Piatt leads the ticket in
this county. Soldiers have no sympathy
with such men.
Faycttc Comfy.
! Another Copperhead "border county"
could not help the men who defended
their lives and property.
Northum5crlaad Comfy.
Under the lead Of "Purdy" the sold :
ier was left out in the cold. No Office
for him in that county.
Center county.
The leaders of the Democratic party
here have given the soldier the cold
shoulder-none were nominated.
HcsimorcluRd County,
The largest Coppcrhead county in the
west, has no love for men who save. the
country, No Office was awarded to the
soldier.
La=crne County,
There was no use for soldier to ask a
morsal of bread from the party in this
county. The "Lincoln hireling," as they
call the soldier, must stand back.
.SchuyMW Comty.
The county of Coppcrhead roit and
murder has no sympathy for her returned
heroes. Not the smallest Office was a
warded them in this county.
Bedford Coanfy.
This nest Of treason would not permit
the name OF Lincoln hirelng," as the
Copperhead organs call them, on the
ticket.
Carjop GnR Monroe
This citadel of Democracy cast the
soldier aside, although there were hund-
reds of loyal Democrats who spilled their
blool on the battle e-feld, in that District
Berhs County.
y single solitary soldier presented his
name before the convention for a minor
Office, but he was rudely thrust aside.
No soldier could receive word of sym
pathy or substantial support in that coun-
ty.
Northampton Ccmty.
This county too sent a large number
Of soldiers to the ranks, but on their re
turn. they are treated worse than rebels
would treat them. No soldier received
nomination for Office in that county.
Cambria Comfy.
This stronghold Of Copperheadism
would not allow soldier on the ticket,
but re nominated one Of the men for the
Legislature who used his talents tc OBJ
struct the operation Of the Government,
and disgrace the Union Soldier.
York county.
The gibraltar of Democracy, and one
of the border counties, where they in
vite rebels to take possession Of their
towns, acted consistently with the party
by her vote to disfranchise the soldier,
then refuse to support the returned hero.
Montgomery county.
Sent hundreds of her loyal sons to the
front, under the gallant General Har-
tranft, but when they returned they were
thrust aside to make room for the old Of
fee holders, who enjoyed the loaves and
fishes whilst they were fighting. No sold
ier received a nomination.
Cumberland county.
The Democratic party of this strong
hold could not be induced to nominate
one of her sons who resisted in staying
the rebel raid or fought at GETTYSBURG
1t was more in keeping to place men on
the ticket who piloted rebels in their raids
through the border, but the soldier has
no friend there.
Franklin County.
This " border county," which cast her
votes, the last two years back, for the
rebels. could not be induced to place IN
nomination any of her sons who risked life
and limb to save the country; but the
candidates for Senator and Member are
of the stamp who hate " Boys in Blue"
Lehigh County.
Another rebel stronghold has no sym
pathy for a soldier. The loyal men OF
this county came nobly to the support Of
the Government in filing the ranks, but
when they came home, not the smallest
Office was in store for them. Such men
as Nelson Weiser, Copperheads OF the
worst kind, received nominations
