DlDArEs AS THES srA~S-''''-oV'
ION AND COPPERHEAD PLATFORMS.
From the Phil'a North American


1t is striking and singular fact, that
the Union men of Pennsylvania have
conferred almost all their nominations
for the best Offices in the gift of the peo
pie, on those who nobly stood up in de.
fence of the national life. 1t may be
insisted with some degree of truth, that
the copperheads have also nominated
soldiers for Office. But there is this
difference between the parties making
these nominations The Union men
are impelIed to this act Of justice by
gratitude to the soldier, while the cop
perheads have seized upon soldiers who
are willing to be used, in order to in>
sure the success of political dogmas
dangerous to the life OF the Republic
The Union men were controlled by
principle in their nomination Of soldiers.
The platform on which Union men
stand, is consistent with the character
of true soldiers-in conson2nce with the
principles for which such soldiers con-
tended in battle with traitors-in har.
mony with the cause of the Union and
the Constitution. Not so, however. with
the copperhead nominations. In every
instance, the resolutions of copperhead
conventions reflect discredit on the cause
in which the candidates they nominate
derive their elements Of popularity
Thus, w. Fl. Davis would never have
been nominated for Auditor General,
had he not made some reputation as a
soldier-had it not been calculated by
the copperhead faction that he could
secure the support of men who fought
at his side to put down the S!avehold
ers' rebellion. And yet the platform on
which Davis stands declares the war in
which he acquired the popularity fitting
him for copperhead uses, to haue been a
brutal crusade on the rights and proper
ty Of the Southern people Every SOL
dier who votes for w. H. Davis will
thereby condemn himself as a mere rob>
ber and raider. Every soldier who votes
a copperhead ticket for county or State
officers, virtually charcterizes himself as
freebooter an ! assassin. Every copper
head platform insists that the war for
the Union was an aggression on the
sovereign rights of the Southern States
If this be 80, and it is confirmed by the
votes Of Pennsylvania soldiers, their
place in history cannot be other than
is usually occupied by burglars and pi-
rates. The soldiers who vote for can
didates standing on platforms which
charge the cause, the crimes and the
suffering of the war on the National
authorities, condemn themselves aud ar>

Great care should be exercised in the
purchase of Government bonds to see
that their numbers have not been altered.
In several cases where bonds have been
stolen their numbers have been changed
by inserting unconditional figures, one
before and one after the original number,
in that way making the bonds worthless
to whoever shall buy them. The frequent
thefis of these bonds that occur render
caution on the part Of purchasers es'
pecially necessary.

a most fearful exhibition OF the effects of
liquor in Grazing the brain'and nerving

prime cause of the attempt in this city,
by husband to murder hisinfrm wife,

refer to this most horrible affair in our

bloody transaction in Lancaste county,
which occurred only day ader the IN

county a husband slew his wife, stabbing
her to the heart without the leaitprovoca-
ton. He was drunk when hs did IT.
Are these facts not suffioientto abuse the
fears of all law-abiding, peacaable and
temperate citizens? This very bur the
life OF every drunkard's wife jnHarris-

not know how soon he may become a

A young lady moving IN the first cir.
cles at Chicago was betrothed at the be-
ginning of the war to lieutenant in the
army. He was killed in battle, and his
body taken home and buried by his near
est friend and comrade, who was with
him when he fell. To this young man the
young lady's affections were very natu-
rally transferred in time, and she enga>
ged to marry him. When the happy
day arrived, and just as the clergyman
was about to pronounce them man and
wife, the lady tainted, and on being revi-
we'd forbade any farther procedure, as she
said she had seen the spirit of her for
mer lover, and he was opposed to the
match. She persisted III her decision.
