AN DFU It- THER BELIEVE THAT GIVING SOL DIERS THE POWER TO VOTE ONLY DOUBLES THE DANGER. —Bedford Gazette Jan. 22, 1864. ONION MEN TO THE POLLS, Why yon should vote for the V'Uion candidates. If you desire to redeem Pennsylvania en tirely from the blighting influence of Cop perheadism as demonstrated in the adminis tration of the Auditor General's Office, then vote for Brevet Major-General JOHN F. IIARTRANFT, the hero of many bat tles, who in 1861, at the first call of his country, Democrat as he was, rushed to the protection of the old flag and triumphantly followed it utitif the rebel hordes yielded to the masterly strategy of the world's greatest living warrior, U. S. Grant, while his op ponent Col. W. W. H. Davis, disgusted with the war after a year or two's service, re turned to his home to edit a Copperhead paper, in opposition to the administration. If you desire to rid out the Surveyor General's Office, and to place it in the hands of a noble and patriotic son of the old Key stone, vote for Col. JACOB M. CAMP BELL, a working man, first in the field, and ever ready with sword and purse to de fend his country, who at the first call for troops in 1861, promptly tendered his ser vices as a private, to fight tmr battles, and not only this, when a demand for funds was made, he loaned the government THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS to prosecute the war, and now since his opponent has been nominated, the Copperheads are endeavor ing to appropriate all his honors to their can didate. If you desire to maintain the healthy ad. ministration of affairs at Ilarrisburg, which in the last year paid in the neighborhood of a million dollars of the State debt, vote for Lieut. D. B. ARMSTRONG and MOSES A. ROSS. Lieut. Armstrong, who is our immediate representative, served his coun try for three long years in the Bth Regiment of the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, while his immediate opponent remained at homo, encouraged desertion and cursed the gov ernment. If yoa desire to fill the District Attorney's office of Bedford county with a man who comes up to the Jefferson standard of "hon est and capable,'' who will do his duty re gardless of political prejudices, vote for JOHN T. KEAGY, Esq., who enlisted in the service of his country as a private, and followed the fortunes of the army of the Po tomac to Fair Oaks, where he was badly wounded in the leg. Surgeon after Surgeon advised amputation, but this gallant young man refused permission, stating that he would sooner die than lose his limb. Time wore on, and young Keagv returned to his friends from the jaws of death; while he was thus pouring out his patriotic blood in de fense of our his opponent was at home advocating the cause of our enemies, preaching compromise and separation. If you desire to dispense untramelled jus tice, free from the contaminating influence of Bedford oounty Copperheadism, vote for Captain ADAM WEAYERLING, another patriot, who has served his country faith fully, and whose character for piety and in tegrity is far. far above reproach. Against his opponent who entered the service and conducted himself properly enough, for all we know, we hare nothing to say, only adding that the man who can thus eat his own rec ord deserves to he beaten,as he will be. If you desire to entrust the Treasury of Bedford county in the hands of an honest, upright and intelligent officer, vote for Capt. SIMON DICKERHOOF, whose record as a military officer during the three years which he fought to crush treason, has no brighter page in history. While he was leading his men to victory his antagonist was at home plying all his cunning to avoid the draft. If you desire to fill the office of County Surveyor with an able and capable man, whom you have all tried and never found wanting, vote for DANIEL SAMS, who stands without a rival as a surveyor in this section of Pennsylvania. If you desire to fill the jury box with men whose political tendencies are not all Cop perhead, vote for WILLIAM KIRK, one of the earth's noblemen. Kirk went into the army and ended his career as a soldier with the downfall of the rebellion. If you desire to have the affairs of Bed ford county remedied, the present corrupt system and practices pervading the Commis sioners' office expunged, vote for that pure patriot and talented business man, HENRY J. BRUNER, who left the corrupt Copper head concern as soon as he learned that its leaders were advocates of secession and trea son. If you desire to establish a decent Asylum for the poor, tba aged and infirm of Bedford oounty, vote for JOHN S. HKTRICK and LEONARD BITTNKR. men who will Jo everything in their power to remove the dis grace attached to this concern. You cannot certainly desire any better re sult than the election of those upright men, JAMES ALLISON for Auditor, and Capt. AMOS ROBINETT for Coroner. They will not. fail in the duties which will devolve upon them. Union men ! Voters! go to the polls on next Tuesday morning, stay all day, exam ine every ticket, see that your neighbors are out. and our word for it, the Union county tick et will be elected from John T. Keagy to Amos Rohinett As regards the State and District tickets thev are safe beyond a doubt TURN OTT! DO YOUR DUTY and all will be well. A BRILLIANT RECORD.

There is no difficulty in ciphering out who the Copperheads are, if our people will only REMEMBER, that every barn burner, who, in the deep darkness of the night, stole up to and applied the torch to the property of Union men, is a rabid Copper head. REMEMBER, that the heathenish in cendiary, who under cover of darkness, prompted by the spirit of the devil, stealth ily kindled the fire which consumed the house of God, if living to-day, is a traitor and a Copperhead. REMEMBER, that every deserter who fled to Canada to enjoy the protection of a foreign Government, is and ought to be a Copperhead. REMEMBER, that every skedaddler who secreted himself for months in the "pine clad hills" of the old Keystone State, is to-day a Irving, breathing, blathering Copperhead. REMEMBER, that every skulker who found his way to the eaves of our rugged mountains, with loads of weipons, who threatened death and destruction on all hands, and then ran away from his shadow; is a blatant Copperhead. REMEMBER, that every man who has desired the success of the rebellion, who aided, abetted and countenanced it in any manner, shape or form is a Copperhead leader to the extent of his intelligence. REMEMBER, that those who secretly met for the purpose of organising resid ence to the draft in Napier and St. Clair townshij>s, are to-day, true to their instincts, in the Copperhead ranks. BSk-Our friends will remember the meet j ings at Laney's, Foot of Dry Ridge and ' ScMlsburg, on this (Friday) evening. A Galaxy of Veterans! WHERE THE SOLDIERS STAND! INTELLIGENCE AND REPUBLICAN ISM GO HAND IN HAND ! Soldier* follow where their officer* lead ! It gives ns pleasure to announce the names of almost all the officers of Bedford county, who have braved death in a thousand ways, that now openly and consistently support the Union State and County tickets. This array contains, within a half dozen, the entire num ber commissioned from this county, while several of those not down in this list have taken no part in politics, and if they vote, will, in all probability, vote with their late companions in arms: JOSIAH HISSONG, .

MILLER, What do you think of this, Cops.? Do you hear the Union thunder? We hope that we have not missed any names. We do not de sire to leave any one off, and if We have failed to put any one on, they must excuse us. The Trail of the Copperhead How we know him. Our loyal people will have no difficulty in following this reptile and spotting hitn if they will only REMEMBER, that the leaders, one and all, ardently sympathized with the traitor ous rebels, and that they now plead for those in the custody of the United States with all the earnestness of their souls. REMEMBER, that the stars and stripes, the emblem of our nationality, was scoffed at by them, torn from appropriate places, and supplanted by the "red white and red," the emblems of organized treason. REMEMBER, that the "Oiar Strangled Banner," "Red, White and Blue," &c., were forced to give way to the favorite airs of the rebels. Yes, who does not remember how night was made hideous by the sing ing of "Maryland, my Maryland," "The Bonny Blue Flag," &c. ? SHALL SkKDAODLEK* VOTE? We answer emphatically. NO. The very idea of an election board setting themselves above an act of Congress is the most absurd thing we have ever heard advocated. No election board composed of anything elso but Bedford county Copperheads would dream of setting themselves up as a Su preme Court to pass upon a National law. The Conscription Act was partly ignored by these fellows, and now they desire to ignore the remainder of it. If they did, however, ignore it for a season, when Uncle Sam's boys dressed in blue, came around, t here was another tale to tell, they became as "meek as any lamb," marched to the "music of the Union," left! left! and now we have no hesitation in saying if Uncle Sam was able to put "strait Jackets" upon them and "muz zle" them in time of a monstrous rebellion, he will assert the laws in time of Peace. Let them, then, net the laics at defiance if th-ej/ dare', if they do, they must put up with the cotuerptences. Let them vote their ske dadillers in Southampton, Cumberland Val ley and Juniata ; if they do, the election board shall not only be prosecuted, but the outraged law shall be asserted, their strong holds contested and their vote ruled out. If these districts are rejected, the Republi can ticket will he safe by several hundred majority, and if they do not vote them, we will beat them handsomely, so they cau take either horn of the dilemma. All the old leaders of tlie Demoeratie part) now aetive Union men. The Copperheads who now hang to the old organization because they do not desire to "turn" will REMEMBER, that every truly loyal ! man has been driven from the party. We cite a few prominent names, Hon. John Cessna, William M. Hall, Esq., John W. Lingenfeltar, Esq., Moses A. Points, Esq., Henry J. Bruner, Esq., and there are any number of others which we can name. "THIRTY DOLLAR MEN? The Gazette wails over the "thirty dollar men, as it calls them, and appeals to sol diers in their behalf and in behalf of the Democratic party. It need not fear. The thirty dollar men were deserters, and for them, neither the gallant soldiers, nor any others of the 1 nion party, have any sympa thy; the thirty dollar men are found in the copperhead ranks where they belong, there is no affinity between them and the Union soldiers. The editor of the Gazette will be left at perfect liberty to adorn his deserter (thirty dollar) friends with his own appro priate Copperhead badge. The Copperhead* contem plated general HM*as*ina tion. The law-abiding people of this County cannot fail to REMEMBER, that hundreds of pistols and other deadly weapons were imported into Bedford county, and carried by the members of this same party, to shoot Union men,for no other reason than that they were in favor of suppressing armed treason. 000 Copperhead* Skedad dle. The good and true people of this neck 'o woods well REMEMBER, that no less than 600 of this party refused to report when drafted, and skedaddled to the mountains, skulked away i cave* or fled to Canada. THE BEDFORD COUN TY POOR HOUSE. There appeared in our columns last Spring } a series of articles exposing to a small extent, the management of the Poor House, the payment of extra salaries, the non-report ing of debts and the general suppression of facts, that might be prejudicial ft> the party controlling that institution. A liowl was raised by the clerk, of the establishment and other pecuniarily interested parties, but not a shadow of excuse was given for the corruption and mismanagement existing in the conduct of almost everything connected with the Poor House. The half was not then told, that might have been, but the public and even some of the before unini tiated officials were so disgusted with the flagrant and undisguised corruption that they denounced the whole establishment as a disgrace to the County. It is unnecessary for us now to reiterate the disgraceful rec ord. We only call attention to the fact that our citizens may not forget the pressing ne cessity for a change in the management of the Poor House, by electing men who are willing and competent to manage the busi ness of the establishment, and give a clear and satisfactory account of their steward ship. Go to the polls and vote for JOHN S. HETRICK and LEONARD BITTNKR and we will receive a|feiflseiit report hereaf ter from the Poor Ilouse. Copper heart teachings mur dered Josiah Uanghman. The shock which our people received at the announcement of the death of the much admired Lieut. Baugknian will never be forgotten, but our people REMEMBER, that the life of Lieut. Josiah Baughman was taken, while perform ing his duty, in strict accordance with the secret teachings of the Copperhead leaders, and that if the creature who murdered hini were to-day arrested and lodged in jail for this heinous crime, he would be feasted, by the treason worshipping portiou of the community. THE YALIE OF BLUE CLOTHES! On last Saturday morning the Copper heads made desperate efforts to get up a delegation to attend a meeting appointed at Centerville, Cumlcrland Valley. A num ber of vehicles were chartered. It appear ed easier, however, to get vehicles than to get persons to fill them. < >ne carriage stood half an hour anxiously waiting for passen gers, no one came, eventually a soldier in blue clothes made his appearance. He was button holed and offered a WHOLE DOL LAR if' he would take a seat in the hack and hold their flag. The soldier saw a chance to "'turn an honest penny"' and ac cepted the proposition. We would suggest to our soldiers that if they have any old blue clothes, they will be able to part with them on most favorable terms by applying to the Chairman of the Copperhead County Committee, as that gentleman intends fitting out a company of dummies to attend the next grand rally. Jacob Crouse was murdered in obedience to the orders of the Bedford Gazette. Who that has read the Bedford Gazette does not REMEMBER, that Deputy Provost Marsha! Jacob Crouse was murdered in obedience to the dictate of these same lea ders who said "Let that man, [the Provost Marshal] whoever he maybe, make up his mind that he cannot live a peaceful life, nor die an honorable death.'" MILITIA TAXES. What has become of the militia taxes col lected from the citizens of Bedford county since JS62? Have they followed the ''Pre miums' ' on gold and silver coin and De mand notes? By the act of April 8, 1802, it was appropriated to the relief fund (or the benefit of the families of volunteers. Why has not the Treasurer reported it? About three hundred dollars were paid by mistake to the State Treasurer in 1802. Who has the balance? What use has been or is being made of it. Who pockets the money. Consider ing the County Debt to the State of |16,(8X1. The Poor House $800(1 or perhaps SIO,OOO, for the clerk said they could not toll exactly, the Premium appropriation Ac. is it not high time that the TAX PAYERS of the coun ty see that not only competent but honest men be elected to take charge of the affairs of the county? Let the Tax Payers answer on Tuesday at the Ballot Box. The Copperheads responsible for tne condition of the Poor House. The humane citizens who shudder at the sight of the Poor House have only to REMEMBER, that under the adminis tration of this party the Poor House of Bedford county, which ought to be a decent asylum for the aged and infirm, has become a bye-word and a reproach. WILL YOU PAY THE REBEL DEBT? Let our readers remember, that the brit ish holders of Rebel bonds already proclaim that the rebel loan trill be paid whenever the Democratic party gets into power. Are the tax-payers of Bedford county and of Penn sylvania prepared to have their present tax es doubled for the purpose of gratifying those british capitalists who, during the re bellion, used all their influence and contri buted their wealth for the purpose of de stroying our Union? If they are not pre pared for this, let them beware of voting the Democratic ticket. The Copperhead Barnburn ers. The loyal men of Bedford county before casting their votes on the 10th of October will REMEMBER, that the barns of Union men were burned, their lives threatened, and their families intimidated because they asked the Government to assort the suprem acy of the laws, and were williuy to give to it their assistance. -U " 'J* Copperhead* wliool at En rolling ©Hirer*. The soldiers who were in the front jeop ordizing all they held sacred, when art effort was made to assist them from the rear, will REMEMBER, that enrolling officer* were shet at, and narrowly escaped with thuir lives because they undertook to enforce a national edict. "SOLDIERS! STAND BY YOUR RACE." Under the above caption, the Gazette of ]ast week exhorts soldiers to vote the Dem ocratic ticket, for fear they may be put up on a level with the negro. he editor of the Gazette forgets to tell the soldiers, that HE, with SIXTEEN HUNDRED AND NINETY-FIVE DEMOCRATS, voted to put the soldiers NOT ON A LEVEL WITH, BUT BENEATH THE NEGRO, by depriving him of the right of suffrage, while they bitterly opposed permitting the negro's life to be endangered by being put into the service. Yes it was the editor of th a Gazette and his followers who, while dis franchising the soldier, wished to have the NEUUO EXEMPTED from the toil and dan ger of the battle field. •Meyers wore a Copperhead badge. The soldiers who are appointed officers at Copperhead meetings will REMEMBER, that the men who are now flattering them, wore, during their absence in the army, the Copperhead badge, the emblem of sympathy and treason. The Gazette under date of May 8, 1863, says: " We wore, when in a Demo cratic badge,—a head of liberty, cut out of a copper cent. And, note, we give notice, that we will wear whatever ornaments ice pleaxe.'' WHO TAX THE SOLDIERS 1 When soldiers are begged to vote the Coppeihead ticket and told of Democratic love for the soldiers, let them inquire how it conies that every returned soldier has had a double bounty tax laid upon him in Bedford Borough to help to pay the debt incurred by the Borough in order to relieve it from the draft. Remember that the Democrats con trol both the school board and the town council, who laid these taxes. Soldiers how do you like this exhibition of Democratic love f The Copperheads rote in a body to exclude the sol diers from the right of suffrage. The soldiers who are now flattered and petted by the Copperheads will please REMEMBER, that the Copperhead party in a body voted to exclude the soldier from the right of suffrage, and that they kicked men out of the party, who had the manliness to disobey the order of the lead ers and vote the soldiers this privilege. A PRETTY FAIR MIXTURE. The Copj>erhead District ticket is com posed of two old Know Nothings, George A. Smith and A. J. Colborn, while in this county two Catholics, Patrick Donahoe and James Mattingly are running on the same ticket with them. We would not have felt disposed to mention this fact, but the last Gazctti contains an apjteal to the Catholics, as if all other parties were arraigned against them. Vet, it floats at its mast-head the names of two men who took a solemn oath to forever oppose Catholics. What a strange way these fellows have of doing things. Copperheads run the coun ty in debt $16,000. The tax payers of Bedford county will have no trouble to REMEMBER, that the Copperhead managers of the monetary atlairs of Bed ford county have become indebted to the State of Pennsylvania in the sum of $16,000. REMEMBER, that $755.24 was added to this debt in one day because the Copper head county Commissioners refused to make provisions to pay it. FRAUDS! FRAUDS! The adage of "stop thief," is generally brought into requisition and fully demon strated by the Copperhead Party on the eve of an important election. The last baizette lias already forestalled its readers with the cry of "fraud" and "colonization" to cover up the rascality of its party. No, no subtle Gazette', we are on the look out for you, you "can't come it" in that way. • Copperheads barn Charrhes and School-houses. The God-fearing and intelligence-loving people of Bedford county will REMEMBER, that Churches and school ho uses were burned because men who loved their country, met there to worship God. ROORBACKS ASD LAST HOUR DODGES. We warn our readers against the roor backs and last hour dodges of the expiring Copperheads. The Gazette of this week will be full of them ; knowing full well that we will not have time to answer them before the election. But the reputation of that chaste concern, for truth and veracity, will brand any thing it may say with the usual marks, —"Fraud," and "Trickery." "S^ljOOO." The Gazette of last week, under this cap tion, intimates that Ross and Armstrong voted to increase the salary of a member of the Legislature from S7OO to SIOOO. This is one of the inventions of baseness. Messrs. /{ass and Armstrong both apposed the propo sition. and not only opposed the. introduction of it, but voted against it when up before the House. We are informed that B. F. MEY ERS WENT TO HARRIS BURG TO SECURE THE PASSAGE OF THIS SAME BILL, AND MR. ARMSTRONG TELLS US THAT MR. MEYERS ASK ED HIM TO VOTE FOR IT. What do you think of this ? SOLDIERS: SOLDIERS! Soldiers! When you hear Democrats prating about their friendship for you, just ask them why they denied your right to vote while fighting under and for the flag of our fathers. $1,50<) REA. You, who listened to the Bedford Gazette which told you not to enlist or to pay boun ties, while its editor had snugly crept out of danger by putting in a substitute, will you listen to him any longer? Then vote the Union ticket. GET OUT THE LAST VOTE. One vote may change tho result of the election. Get out the last vote. Don't wait until it is too lata. See that our vote is out early in the morning. Vote early and sue thai, everybody ei*e votes, That's the way to win. VOTE THE CHIOS TICKET. Let all, who are opposed, to the repudia tion of the national debt, vote the Union ticket. Let all, who are opposed to the payment of the rebel debt together with the rebel cotton loan in England, vote the Union ticket. Let all, who are opposed to the restoration of slavery, vote the Union ticket Let all, the friends of our gallant soldiers, vote the Union ticket. Let all, who are in favor of economy in the conduct of our Government, vote the Union ticket. Let all, who desire the speedy payment of our State debt, vote the Union ticket. Let all, who are in favor of reform in the management of our county finances, vote the Union ticket. Let all, who want to know where the Poor taxes of the county go, vote the Union ticket. Let all, who want to know where the mi litia taxes of the county go, vote the Union ticket. Let all, who are in favor of the encourage ment of cur home industry and the devel opment 0/ our national resources, vote the Union ticket. Let all, who desire to see our country free, prosperous and happy, vote the Union ticket. Full Federal Bounty to all llouorably Discharged Soldiers. The soldiers of Bedford county will re member that the Bth plank of the Republi can Platform adopted at Ilarrishurg guaran ties a full federal bounty; it reads thus : Resolved, THAT IT IS THE DUTY OF CONGRESS TO SECURE THE FULL FEDERAL BOUNTY TO ALL HONOR ABLY DISCHARGED SOLDIERS, IR RESPECTIVE OF DATE OF THEIR ENLISTMENT. The Republican party, the soldiers will reu4§mbcr, have the power to pass such a law. Then veterans, vote the Republican ticket. SOLDIERS, TAKE CARE OF THE SKEDADDLERS. The Copperheads boast that they are go ing to vote the skedaddlers in defiance of a solemn act of Congress. We are not sur prised at this, when men become out-laws they will take to crime as readily as a duck takes to water. Soldiers, will you allow these wretches who harassed your wives, your families and your friends, keeping them in constant dread of the mid-night incendi ary, while you were absent carrying the flag of your country to every Southern hearth, to vote? No, we are sure you -will not. Soldiers, watch the skedaddlers! MILITIA CLAIMS. The Legislature has failed up to this time to pass au act to authorize the payment of these claims. A general bill was before the Legislature for the payment of all damages done by rebels as well as militia claims last winter which was defeated. Messrs. Ross and Armstrong supported it. hut owing to the bill containing provisions for the rube' damages, it was lost It was then too late to have a special bill passed to meet those claims. ROSS AND ARMSTRONG STAND PLEDGED TO PASS SUCH A BILL THIS WINTER. Vote for Ross and Armstrong. There are no grades of Copper headism. There is no excuse for acting with trea son's champions known as Copperheads, it will be REMEMBERED, that the individual who indentities himself with the Copperhead or ganization is as much responsible for the party as if he were a principal actor. DESERTERS NOT CITIZENS. Deserters, by the act of Congress and the Presidents Proclamation, having failed tore port within the given time, have by their own acts renounced their citizenship and are no longer entitled to the rights and privi leges of citizens, but stand in the same re lation to the country and possess the same rights as foreigners, except the privilege of becoming citizens, from which deserters arc debarred. Let the people remember that ibscrters are not citizens and consequently can not vote. The Copperheads curse Min ister* of the Gospel. The religions people of this community, who have been here for the last four years, will not fail to REMEMBER, that ministers of the gos pel were reviled, condemned and persecuted because they prayed for the preservation o the institutions of our fathers. Tile Gazette Printed the tickets against the soldiers right of suffrage. Do not forget that every ticket cast in this county again.st the amendment allowing sol diers to vote, was printed at the Gazette office, and was paid for out of the Demo cratic corruption fund, or was a free-will offering on the part of the Editor, thus marking his love for the soldier. RALLY ! RALLY ! ! RALLY ! ! ! Union men, the contest which wc have been wagingfor the last month, has been adjourned to the polls for next Tuesday's decision. Let every Union voter be on hand. See that the aged and infirm are brought out. Go early and remain until the last man has voted. One day to your country and all will be well. I>© you Remember boys iu blue? Twelve months ago the Democracy pronoun ced the war for the Union a "failure," but now that the rebellion has been crushed in spite of them, they profess great love for the soldiers' who gained the victory? Do they suppose the "boys in blue" have so soon for gotten their record. BRING OUT THE AGED AND INFIRM The vigilance committees of the different townships will see that wagons are engaged and this class of voters brought out early in the day. Don't wait until the last hour. Bring theiu out in the morning. ISk. llenry Harper, 620 Arch St., Philid'a.

My reasons for so doing are numerous; among which are— -Ist. BECAUSE, THE LEADERS OF THAT PARTY HAVE LEFT THEIR FOR MER PRINCIPLES, AND FAVOR SE CESSION AND REBELLION. 2nd. BECAUSE, THEY DO NOT AD HERE TO THE DOCTRINE TAUGHT IN THE DECLARATION OF INDEPEN DENCE THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED FREE AND EQUAL. 3d. BECAUSE, ONE DAY WE ARE IN STRUCTED TO DESPISE THE SOLDIER AND THE NEXT DAY LOVE HIM. - 4th.BECAUSE, ONE DAY THEY WANT US TO DISFRANCHISE HIM AND THE NEXT DAY TO COURT HIS VOTE. sth. Because, I am opposed to their plan of reconstruction: since the armies of the Con foil erate States hare been conquered and subdued, and their territory possessed by the United States, IT BECOMES NECESSARY TO ES TABLISH GOVERNMENTS THEREIN THAT SHALL BE REPUBLICAN IN FORM AND IN PRINCIPLE AND To EX CLUDE FROM THOSE GOVERNMENTS EVERY VESTIGE OF HUMAN BOND AGE AND TO RENDER THE SAME IM POSSIBLE FOREVER IN THIS NATION. These are a fetc of the many reasons that I hare for taking the course 1 do. LET ALL WHO APPROVE OF THESE PRINCI PLES GO WITH ME. AXI> LET ALL OTHERS CO with THE COPPERHEADS AND REBELS. Young men, this duty of reconstruction de reilces upon you. Would to Almighty God only for that, that 11cere still in the prime of life, that J might aid you to JigM through this last and greatest battle of freedom. But God's tcill be done. In conclusion, I would say to the Copperhead party, eakewell. I have gone with you as long as I can. I shall hereafter go with the party that has for its principles Union and humanity. Yours truly, JACOB EWIG. SOLDI EUS AN I) CO P PERHE ADS. The word "Copperhead' originated in the army, among the men whose votes are now asked to defeat the Union ticket. No epi thet so well expresses a soldier's scorn as that of "Copperhead." There is a marked distinction between the "Democrat" and the sympathizer who is designated by this con venient appellation. The Democrat i.- a frank, outspoken citizen, who deplores the ' blunders of the party leaders, who denounces I the violence of Judge Buvck, the timidity j of .Jauies Buchanan, and the silliness of Richard Vaux. Nothing makes him more indignant than to tell him his sentiments are in unison with the New York World , Fer nando Wood, or C. L. Vallandighaui. Such a citizen don't vote the Union ticket, sometimes shirks the election day, and when he goes to the poll he invariably scratches his ticket. But when he gets desperate, ho marches directly into the Union quarters, registers his name, takes a room and be comes a permanent lodger. "A Copper head" is precisely the kind of animal to make a soldier indignant. lie is never satisfied. He is like John Randolph, who so hated the woollen manufacturer that he swore he would go <mt of his way a mile to kick a sheep. 110 always feels like making war upon a | colored man if he meets one. He was ex cessively Mc( 'lellauish all the time McClel lan lost battles, and especially after he lost command; and he never thought much of Grant, because he took MeOlellan's place. He groaned over a rebel defeat, as he used to sadden over a Democratic defeat, lie beheves that Booth was "a handsome young rascal," Mrs. Suratt a saint in petticoats, Jefferson Davis "a stern statesman," and Henry Wirz a persecuted German, lie hel ped to put up the Chicago Democratic scaf fold; was present at the building of the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and the Long Ohio platform. The onlv place where he was not found was in the Union army. The soldier never meets his returned enemy in the Union party. He never sees him at a Union meeting. But ifhe goes into a Demo cratic assemblage, he generally finds a Cop perhead in the ehair, or making a speech, or offering resolutions in favor of Col. W. W. H. Davis. And so the soldier votes against the Copperhead and his friends.— Press. KNOW NOTHINGS. "THE Abolitionists, unable to say any thing truthfully against Messrs. Colburn and Smith, (the Democratic candidates for the legislature,) are circulating a LIE to the effect that they once belonged to the Know Nothing order." For the benefit of the Bedford Gazette, from which paper we clip the above, we here say that we can prove by any reasonable number of men in this community, that GEORGE A. SMITH belonged to the Know Nothing order; that he ha* admitted it since nominated for the legislature, and that he has publicly stated the "he had sworn more Democrats into the order than lie could get out. \\ hen a newspaper man don't know what he is talking about he ought to keep his mouth shut. That, however, is not the Gazette's style. Nor was it the style of its editor when in the Legislature.— Fulton Republican. HARD UP. A Copperhead journal in Connecticut, in opposing negro suffrage in that State, asserts that in the event of the ballot being allowed many of the negroes will vote the Democratic ticket. We scarcely think this objection is sincere. If the Democrats thought his Sa tanic Highness would vote with them, they would extend the right of suffrage into lladrs. They would certainly poll a larger vote in that place than among the negroes in Connecticut. —.V. I*. Tribune. ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC GEM. Generahltunyon, the Democratic candi date for Governor of' New Jersey, at a d '* Clellan moetng held in that State last tail, said: "No minion who wears the livery of Abe Lincoln ought to be allowed to approach within one mile of the polls on election day. This was the sentiment of the whole party, then. The soldier was a "minion, then, now he is just the person for a democratic candidate iu Republican counties. —' burgh Gaette,
