So the question was determined in the af-
firmative
Messrs Brown, Hargnett, Hoover, Reih,
Walsh and Watson stated that they had
paired Off
The question recurring on agreeing to the
bill, was agreed to.
We copy the whole proceedings from the
official Legislatiee Record, page 52s, of 1854,
from which it appears plainly that the Cop
perhead PARTY in the House of Representa-
tives We're opposed TO paying the soldiers.
Let every soldier and loyal man read the
official Record. Any member of the Lagis-
lature of 1861 has a bound copy in his pos
session. See the pages above given.
Proceedings Of the Senate on the Above Bill
On Friday, the 4th day of March, 1864,
the following Joint Reso ution was taken up
for consideration, see page 295 of the Le-
gisiutirc record, session 1864, viz
Joint resolutions asking Congress to pass a
law increasing the pay Of private soldiers and
non-commissioned officers in the army,
came before the Senate on third reading,
ard was read, as follows
Resolcea 6y the Senate and {{onse OF
Representatives of tie Commonwealth Of
Peansyiranta in General assembly met, and
1t IS hereJy eaactea By the authority Of the
same, That our representatives in Con
gress be requested to vote for, and use their
influence for the passage OF law increasing
the pay Of private soldiers and non commits
stoned officers i'll the army OF the United
States
On the final passal &c of the bill,
The yeas and nays were required by Mr.
Beard lee and Mr.. Ciymer, and were as fol-
lows, viz
IEAs-Messrs. Champneys Connell Dun
lap Fleming, Graham, Hogc, Householder,
johnson. kinsey, Lowry, MCandless,
Nichols, Ridgway, St. Clair, Turreil VIII
son, Worthirgton and Penny, .Speaker-lS
NAYs-Messrs. Beardslee, Bucher, Ciy-
ner, Donovan, Glacz, Hopkins, Lamherton,
Latta, N Sherry, Montgomery, Reilly,
Smith, Stark, Stein and Wallace-l5.
So the bill passed finally.
Here it will be observed that every Cop
perhcad in the Senate voted against an in
crease of pay to the soldier
Among the Noes is found the name of vii
liam \. Wallace, the leader of the party,
and, at present, Chairman of the State Cen
tral Committee.
Every Union man in both branches of the
Legislature voted and worked energeticaEly
for the passage of the resolution, and the
passage of the same induced Congress to in
crease the pay of every soldier in the field.
These are facts which cannot be contra
dicted, and we challenge them to produce
facts that show otherwise -Ielegraph
