SOLINIESS: In one week from Tuesday- next—August • 2--thepeople will be called up to' decide - at tlftNallothox whether the men of. Pennsyl vania who are kravely lighting the battles of the country, shall be allowed to vote while in the, service. It would seem impossible that any man could be found, 'so ungrateful as to deny our brave men the right. Yet is so. -In this County and elseivhere, there are vile Copperheads who are now resorting to the most shameless falsehoods to induce the people to vote against the measure. They' dare not oppose itthkough the columns .of their journals, but they are secretly and qui etly working against it to defeat it at, the polls.. The Copperhead leaders laSe as an ar -guinent against .granting the right that ne , gro . exand. minors in the army, will be allow , ed to vole, - and that the men ' will be •com-• pelled to vole as their officers direct This statemnt is not only basely false- but is an insult to the intelligence and true manhood of the 'soldiers from this State. It is not con templated in granting the right that any but those Who are, and would be legal voters at home shall exercise the right;\ and -they, if . the privilege be granted by the people, will vote any ticket they see proper. In this re-.. spect they will, be as independent as if they were. at home. .1 - 45 apPrehension need be felt that the privilege will be abused. • . . To us it seems py.nliarly hard that a citizen leaving the comforts o: home,' the profttable pursuits of business, the social intercourse t lint renders life so pleasant, tb defend the lib erties and laws of the country, should even for a moment. be deprived of the right of hav ing a voice in the political conduct of the na tion. We contend that the.. \ soldier of the -Cabin army who may, be legal voter at home r bas an especial claim for the sacrificee he makes and the dangers he encounters in entering the service, to retain . the right. If the - Copperheads had' not .opposed. it they would never have been deprived of it. _Why, even at the - coming election we have no doubt that there will be found men even here, who'have sons in the army of a legal age to vote, who Will vote against granting those young men the right. -This shows how bitter, is the partizanship thtit will urge a man to commit so unworthy an act. It is this par tizanship acting against the soldiers as,a mass,, that now seeks to defeat the proposed amend ment to the Constitution of the State securing the right to our brave defenders. Citizens of. achuylkill County, whatever your political predilections, are yod prepared to grant to the soldiers in the field from this 'mid other counties Of Pennsylvania, the right, to vote ?. We hope 'and. belieie pia are.-- 7 ion must feel that gratitude and justice ,to thein.demand this recognition of their great services.- D 1), hot fail therefore, to 'vote on Tuesday, August,id, for the Aluendmeni al owing onr soldiers to vote, and for the other Amendments regulating legislation to pre vent fraud and imposture- 2 ' For the - information - of those who i►ish; to snow how to prepare and vote thcse tickets, we give the.following form: FIRST. AMENDMENT. For the Amendment. " SECOND AMENDMENT. •• • . For the Amendment. - THIRD AMENDMENT. • _ • For the ArnendYient. - These tickets will be folded so auto enclose ,the words "for,the Aidendatent," leaving out- side:for perusal as the ballots are distributed to the boxes, the. words "first anietnimpat," "second amendment," "third amendment." .It is not necessary for us to enlarge upon this subject. Every citizen ,with a - peaceful fireside; every property holder secure in his possessions ; every tnisiness man who is pros pering, must feel that the men who conquer ed at Gettysburg and who for forty, consecu tive days in Virginia under Grant, combatted successfully, the :glued_ enemies of the Gov ernment and invaidars of Northern soil;, are entitled to the time it will require for him .to go to the polls and deposits his vote "For the Amendment." , No Union mi►n and true friend of the soldier will negleetiliat sacred duty on the 2d of August. • SrArE , CoicsnrtrrtotsAL CoNvEnioN'of .
