HOW raE SOLDIERS ARE GoIxG,

Time was, when by dint of hard ly-
ing and desperate cheating, the enc
mics Of Democracy carried, for their
candidates, a majority of the votes of
the soldiers. But that day has gone
by. The Disunion doctrines of the
present leaders of the so-called IRE
publican" party, and the proposed en-
franchisement Of millions Of ignorant
negroes, have literally driven the in
telIigent soldier into the ranks of the
Democracy. Among the distinguish
ed officers who are now openly advo-
eating the election of Mr.. Clymer, are
Gen. w. McCandless, (late Col. 2nd Re-
serves Brev. Brig. Gen. Peter Lyle,

AEancN OF nAAcKRIRDs.

Thad. Stevens, Dead Duck Forney,
Simon Cameron, Galusha A. Grow,
William D. Kelley, are all candidates
for the United States Senate. Gov.
Curtin, for the same position, was pro-
missed the support Of certain infuen-

skirts Of the taint of Johnsonism,
whereup0n the Governor at once pro-
ceeded to sign the .'Descrter Bill'' and
to send a circular letter to the Cover

converting of Legislatures for the i'm
mediate ratification of the Disunion
Constitutional amendment. But Ste
yens and Cameron cast all the other
candidates in the shade, and Gov. Cur

shadow Of these MoguIs of his party,
in perfect and total eclipse. From the

JUDGE srRovG.s orsyIoN.

Let every body read the opinion of
Judge Strong, of the Supreme Court,
in the famous "Deserter'' case Of HUI
ber vs.. Reilly, which will be found on
our first page. The constitutionality
Of the Act Of Congress di5franchising
"Deserters" was not involved in the
case, the direct issue being whether a
board of election-offcers can reject the
vote of an alleged Deserter, if such al
legged Deserter has not been tried for
and convicted of De5ertion and senten-
ced to disfranchisement, by the proper
tribunal. It will be recollected that
Judge King decided in thiscase of HUI
Der ys. Reilly, that an election board
cannot reject the vote of an alleged
"Daserter," because under our Consti
tuition no man can be deprived Of life,
liberty, or property, except by due pro-
cess Of law. This decision the Supreme
Court were called upon to review, and
their conclusions sustain Judge Kings
decision. Let it, therefore, be dis
tinctIy understood, tbqt he fGU Of the
Etadis. tHnt no alleged Dzsertcr can Le
d20rired Of hiyr2ts by on election 50Ird,
,0aless he skaH hare been A'ieI for and
coHricted Of DsSgrtioH, G9I sentenced TO
diJralrtisem2a5y By The Proyr hi5mH.
Should any election officers undertake
to reject the vote of a citizen other
wise qualified, who has not been cor
ric5ed Of Desertion and sentenced to dis
franchisement by the proper court,
he will be severely punished. Igno-
rance Of the law can uolongef be plead
ed in extenuation OF 50 gross a wrong
to the citizen, and it will sbe seen to
that no halfway prosecutions are insti-
tu,ed, in the future, against election
officers 50 offending. And it might as
well be understood, once for all, that
the State law disfranchising "Deser-
ters," being expressly based upon the
Act OF Congress under which the case
Of Huber vs.. Reilly was litigated, and
involving exactly the same principles,
cannot shield election-olllcers in dis
fianchising citizens who have not been
convicted Of Dosertion and sentenced
to be disfranchised by the appropriate
tribunal. As long as there is no sen-
teEcs Of fdigraacbiSeDle,& against the cit
izen he is a CITIZEN still, and wo be
to the man or setof men who mly un-
dertake to interfere with his rights.

WE meet but few people who do not
claim to be Union men, but do they ev-
er reflect upon the question, What con-
stit1teS u Union NCm? Let every citi-
zen ask himself the question, Am |
a Union man if | oppose the return of
the seeded States to the Union; if I
strive to prolong the dissolution which
through the action of Congress, now
exists; if l refuse to assist in recon-
Cling the people of the estranged sec
tions; if vote for men who hold that
the Southern States are out of the I'm
ion and thusackn0wledye Secession an
accomplished fact? How can one be a
Union man, if he be opposed TO the re-
turn of the seeded States, if he favor
the prolongation of dissolution, if he
refuse to assist in reconciling the peo-
pie of the North and South, if he vote
for men who declare that the South is
out Of the Union by virtue of seces-
sion? Yet such is the man who endor-
ses the present leaders and platforms
of the so-called Republican party.
The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1866-07-20

EVERY "Republican" member OF
Congress from this State voted for Ne
gro Suffrage in the District of Column
bia. SO also on the bill to admit no
more territories as States without Ne
gro Suffrage. GEARY stands upon a
platform which endorses Congress.
Nay, he. is the candidate of Thaddeus
Stevens, and has said that he approves
all that the latter has said and done in
Congress. Now, every man who votes
for GEARY, votes toendorse Congress,
votes to approve Thad. Stvens, cotes
for Negro Suffrage! Willpeopleplease
bear these facts in mind?

THE New York Times, always a
leading "RepubIican' paper, declares
that its party is divided and that un-
less something be speedily done to re-
unite the factions, it must inevitably
be defeated. To use its own language,
"The Cnion party is divided-so divi-
ded and distracted that its defeat will
be inevitable, unless something be
meanwhile done to determine authori-
tativeIy its course on the question ofres-
toration, its conditions and consequent
ces." The breach is open! Let DEM
Gratis charge the broken lines of the en-
envy and success will be certain.
The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1866-07-20

REMEMBER, the Geary platform en-
doress Congress, and Congress has de-
clared that there are but t0eaty fire
States in the Union. This strikes eler-
en- stars from the flag, and makes every
man who follows Stevens, Geary and
company march undera mutilated ban
ner! Soldiers did you not fight under
a flag of thirty-siX stars, symbolic of
the thirty-six States? Yes! yes =
Well, then, vote for the flag for which
YOU fought.

Joc etpreterGa nha! Empty sound
and nothing more, is that kind of APP
peal intended for argument, which is
addressed to prejudice and which rests
its hope for success, upon ignorance
OF this sort is the old cry of "loco fo-

meaningless, senseless phrases, and
thanks to an improving popular taste,
their use is about played out. They
are only employed now by blackguards
whose want of brains compels them to
substitute slang tor argument and bill

The vote on this resolu ion establish

Democracy are not only the true friends
of the Union, but that they endeavor-
ed to preserve inviolate, the faith of
the nation as pledged by the Critten-

are the bitter and unrelenting foes of
the Union, who recklessIy violated a
pledge, given with a unanimity that
should have sanctifed it against in

What does his vote mean? What
does it assert? What does it defend?
It means that the Republicans in Con-
gress, and the radical portion of the
constituency they represent, were in
1864, as they are in 1866, and viii ever
be, opposed to the return of any of the
rebellious States to the Union, no mat
ter how submissive and repentant they
may be; it asserts, that they, the re-
bellious States have no right to come
back although we lavished millions Of
treasure and piled up whole hetacombs
of lives to compel them to come back;
it defendsa war, which, by their votes,
they declared should not be prosecuted
for the enforcement Of the Constitution
and the restoration Of the Union. In
word, this vote Of the Republican
party in Congress, proves them to be
secessionists, disunionists and traitors.
What else does this vote IN an, assert
and defend? 1t means, that the Dem
ocrats in Congress- and the conserva-
tive constituencies they represent, were
in 1861, as they are in 1866, in favor OF
the return to the Union of all the
States who obey the Constitution and
the laws; it asserts, that this submis-
sion being shown, they have a right to
come back; and it defends the war, as
one which was carried en- for the s0le
purpose Of bringing these States back,
under the Constitution, the Union and
the laws.
The Republican disunionists say they
ShaH not come back; the Democratic
Unionists say they ShaH come back

|'The following communication,

from the pen of a prominent member

"WE must have 4 change! I go in
for a change?' said an old "Republi-
cam farmer to us, a few days ago. ~
used to argue, years ago." continued
he, "that the Democratic party had
been in power long enough; itsleading
men were getting corruptand reckless; {;
they must be taught lesson. Now,
l have lived TO see them learn that les
son pretty thoroughly, and the other
party that succeeded them, has become
more corrupt and reckless than the
Democrats were. Therefore, ] go in
for achange, 50 that my own party may
learn the same lesson" Didn't we a
gree with him? OF course we did.
Let Us havea change by all means.
