CEN. RnTLERS SOLDLERS.

Copperhead Conservatism has made several
minor attempts to coddo the soldiers not TO mention
the deadset and lis INTERCHANGEABLE result under the
left-handed auspices OF Gen Mcclellan. Or course
such rich capital of votes was too tempting for
speculative politicians; but though the grab was
made nothing to speak of came of IT, and we venture
TO predict that however often renewed IN Nhie
Houses or in pot-houses, nothing special ever viii
come of it except special discontinue. There are
excellent and natural reasons forthis. To begin Wlth'
our soldiers, as a class, are the most intelligent ana
the best educated the world has from the days OF
Julius Caesar to the days of Gen. Grant Secondly
they fought for principles aud not for pay
or plumber. Thirdly they met Secession
face 10 face and marked the dabolcal earnestness
which sulenly smoldered in its biood.shot eyes.
Fourthly, they would have been more than human is
they could have utterly banished bitter memories OF
the Confederate prisOns--of starvation unaeyated'
disease, wanton cruelty, and qatuitous insult. They
remembered and they did right TO remember; Tor al
though religion commands to be iorgying, 1t does
not command us to be fools, and long memory Is
ouite consistent with mercul heart. Soldiers, OF
all others, naturally prefer to select their law
makers from among their old friends rather than their
CONQUERED opponents and do not look with partlcu-
larry rapturous delight upon the prospect OF Con-
gress transmogrifed into Confederate and Cop
perhead camp. In o word, our veterans eyes
are as wide open now as they were when upon
picketduty and for the result Of their waSe'uness
the reader is referred to the election returns, at once
so decisive and exhilarating. An appeal to soldiers
a. class might bo Of dangerous import but no such
appeal il necessary. They are simply voters Who
have had particularly good opportunities OF studying
treason in its 6ercest and fonlest mood, and they
neither admire the animal tho friends Of the ami
nal, no matter by what name those friends may call
Themselves or in whatovor gab they may bo for the
moment, masquerading.
In cssa like this. We suppose that Don tmIie' an

shall be made to satisfaction of Inspectors by his own oath
or otherwise that Tho person claiming t. be placed on Che
register ID tho identified pcsoa named in The certificate he pro
ducc8"
II should be carefully observed that no person can
be registered who would not on tho day Of election be
entitled. under the Constitution and laws Of the State
TO exercise the right OF suffrage in his election district
According to these voter must have been an nhab-
liant Of the state one year. four months resident OF
his county, thirty days (neGt preceding the cection)
of hiJ district and ten dayS naturalized citizen.
Voters must sppear in person to be registered and
the penalty for faso registry is Imprisonment in the
Ponitontisy foroncyear.
Thus advised, we trust That cvery inspector as well
as every voter will be awake to the importance o.
full and fair registry and vote. Our friends are
cautioned 10 make sure on the day for revising regis
ties chat all legal votes are registered, and ,l Others
ws.ohfully stricken of. Moreover. VIC urge upon all
voters without distinction ofparty TO vote For Con-
yer,ion 10 revise our imperfect State Constitution 10

most earnestly appeal.
