ding TODD for reflection for these sol
srs, before they shall have irrevocably
knuited themselves to step which can
ID 10 nothing so much as to loss of
respect, We propose to lay before them
eaf OF .wo from the political record of
pnst.
On tho 5th dsy Of January, 1864, the
endment to the State Constitution pro-
ing the eufrAnchisement of the sol

8CIymer here stendS recorded as opposed
B giving the soldiers he right to vote !;
&t3 yet some of those whom be thus
ten pted to sink to the level of serfdom

Thanks TO the iuaexibie Union men of
Senate, the amendment ultim mately
4ssl, aud on the I'd day of august,
s4, went before the people of the State
their ratification or repudistion. In
latria county, the measure Was uuitedly
posed by the Democracy, and at the
retiou, tsOenty -o"e h~"dred and forty three
|~noorats voted against it. The "boys
blue" of Cambria county now propose
affiliate With the party that worked
pight and dag to dtstrsnch;se them!
10 confirmation of the charge that the
smocrscy of Cambria county uuitedly
ppaeed the amendment, We submit the
blowing extr&ct from the Democrat d

Below you have the election returns in
IL county. 1t will show you that the
EaPle are alive TO their own interest with
