The Sheriff's Proclamation in another part
of to -day's paper calls on the qualified elec

Wee proposed amendments to the Oonstitn
iion of et& Statih i laii44 which is intended
to isvirthe right of suffrage to soldiers ab
sent from home and in the service of the
eionetry. An opinion prevails among some
Immo that the design is to allow the exer
t** of the elective franchise not only to
whit*, but to coloredeoldiers and minors in
tha army. This is a mistake, and should be
every where corrected, The 'donstitution
already provides that only free whtte mate

As to the justice and propriety of this
Amendment, there ire ocarina and conflict

4 the politicians who have brought it for

and think, that with proper legislation, the

ing desirous that soldiers is the field may
freely exercise the elective franchise; s right
"dear to freeman and fonnidable to tyrants."
There are: undoubtedly, some members of
our party who will decline- to vote for the
amendment; not because they are linfavor

corrupt partizans in power havir perpetrated,
Sued probably will perpetrate frauds of the

but they desire and expect, as heretofore, to
confine suffrage by falsehood freud to
those soldiers only who Will vote with .their

• Atter the contemptible work, performed
by the National and State Administrations,
at the electibn last fail, in sending home to
vote, only those soldiers who would promise
to vote for Curtin, we are of the opinion
that but few democrats will refuse to vote for
the proposed amsndmeet; knowing that a
wider door was opened then, for fraud upon
410 effective franChise, than can possibly be
Opened by extending thiS suffrage to so' hkjers

get more votes from soldiers in camp, mak
ing due allowance for the misrepresentation
of Republiciiis wbo would manage the polls,
thah by an evade representation from the

it last fall. And as we are fully pershaded
that every democrat would like to see the
soldiers enjoy the right of suffrage, if Aboli

in saying the memberl of our party in this

What the FremOnters are Doing.
As an indication of the exciting character
of the political campaign upon which we are
entering, the N. Y. Journal of Commerce
mentions that Fremont's friends in that city
are organizing clubs upon the largest scale.
The Central Club (rooms on Broadway near
18th street) is a complete institution of its
kind, and will be followed by the establish
ment Of similar Organization in each ward.
Although cut off from Government patron
age, the Fremonters seem to have members
and money enough to carry en a large po
liiical bnsinesS; and will ask no odds of their
pectillar antagonists, the iincoln men. It
is said to be their intention to outdo every
demonstration which the Loyai Leagues, or
Lincoln clubs, may make in the interest of
the Baltimore ticket, and show by undoubt
able evidence that the Fremonters can al
ways muster the larger crowd and the more
enthusiasm. The contest betweon the two
will give peculiar spice and animation to•the
campaign.
The Loyalty Business.

There . are
1. .Peoplis who have good offices under

2. People who belong to the county cli

tax machinery.
8. People who have nothing in particular

minding other people's, business, as they haie
none of their own.
4. Pharisees in religion, who are gealrally

atoed tax on other people's property.

ter A Republican Senator, in a recent
conyctreation with a friend remarked that
`ftbe"Party new in ptiwer means to be, and
will be in power as long as this country
lasts." "tam," says an exchange, "we
clearly saw was the Programme of the lead

and driving the south out was a nßpesgary
first step of their plan. Then to buy up
all the Democrats they could, and frighten
flte rest, was the 'second step.
must be confessed that to a shametnl
extent s they succeeded ; now there is but one
hope for our country left, which is the imme
diate re organizatiiin of the Democratic par
ty on its ancient platform of Rate Rights and
resistance to centralization. It was for this
purpose that the Democratic party Was first
established under the leadership of jelferson
--to prevent the Federal party from over
thruNiug the government and establishing' 'a

In 1860, a class of politicians etarted out ea
a raoe for political power, and did not pre
teed to be a Union party. In fact, they
I held that the Unksn was a house divided
lagainst itself. The old party that had per
intently resisted all sectional disputes as
dangerous, warned these politicians that
their crusade against slavery would bring
civil war and disunion. The Democrats
teiesaw . the trouble that was looming up
) darkly in the horizon. The menacing atti
,
tilde of two sectional parties forboded evil;
4 but warnings and predictions were unheeded.
It is to be observed that for many years this
I anti-slavery party ;lerth sneered at Demo
crate as Milos-savers, and setae(' at the
gingers that were pointed out. With reck
less furor, the Abolition party went on to
apccess, and their victory was celebrated by
, •
loop processions of wide-awake clubs, and
rejoiced over in Charleston, the hot -bed, of
secession. The mass cf the liientocratic par
ty had to stand alone, witnessing a defection
from their own ranks to secession in the
South, and thousands in the North gluing
aid and comfort to the detection.
Now, we say this same Democratic party
have been the real Uuion party in the past,
and they are the real Union party now.—
„
whilst ,they controlled the affairs of Gov
ernment, no secession or rebellion was possi
ble. They encountered the most implaca
bje hatred and. opposition; but they wisely
prevented seeeession and rebellion and avoid
ed civil war. It was only when power
went out of their hands acid other goupsels
prevailed that these calamities tell upon - the
country. Even alter the war had begun, if
the advice Of the Democrats ot the North
had been listened to. the contest would not
now be what it is. It was the policy of the
' Democratic party to avoid offense to local
and sectional prejudices. A little conces
sion to opinion or prejudice in government
averts a storm, whilst pride of opinion and
self-righteousness create rebellion. '
Um party in power are essentially dis
unionists. They are so from their frequent
ly avowed opinion that free and sieve States
can't live together. Our fathers saw that it
was only a Union between free and slave
States that was possible ; one that recognized
the fact and acted on it, of some Sates be
)+, , •
I ang free and others slave. The Government
they mad, the domin int party have been
opposed to, and they are opposed to it no .v.
They do not want the Uaiori rtad don t in
tend to have it. The open and avowed ene
mies ot the Union drifted iuto that party
naturally, and, in fact, now 104 it. Alen
who held the Constitution a covenant with
death and a league with bed, and who lo.ye
not changed, tiud their natural place in the
ranks of LincOln:s supporters. This party
have repelled the tugitiye slave law, ap
proved by Washington, and thus nullified
one of the conditions of the Union, and glory
in the act. They have undertaken, by laws
and military orders, to overthrow the insti
-1 futions l ot States which were never under the
pc:4er of the Federal Qoeerument: They
new propose by the sword to subjugate
States, reduce them to Territories or Provin
ces, to make laws for their people without
their consent, and execute those laws by
force in all time to come.
We do not deny that these men may be
for Union in some sense or ether, but re
' .arding the Union made by our fathers, they
Itare disunionists now, and they always have
been disunionists. Indeed, the Union they
seek is an impossibility, and the wiser of
them know it. Men who have long observ
ed the professions and conduct of politicians
will little regard the former. Frofessions
are easily made. If what men do will intal
lihli bring nhont disunion, they mean it.—
We do not believe the dominent party ex
pect any Union at all. They have a remote
hope, perhaps, that they can establish some
thing like a Union of Territory under one
Government. 13ut they do not intend to
have a country they can't rule. We, there
fore, implore all who want a Union of these
States to put this dominant party ou t of
power. Their policy, which their pride and
self-conceit will not let them change, will
never accomplish the end. The gratift4tion
of their own selfish and ambitious purposes
is their supreme object. To that they will
sacrifice any possible Union.
The Joy of the South at the Nomina
tion of Lincoln.
For the information of those who imagine
that they litre spiking the South by the nomi
nation of Liiacoln, and who believe that his
, re electiim is a source of terror to the Con
federates, we give the following, from the
Richmond (Vu.,) Dispatch of the .12th inst.
• "For our own part we are glad to hear
that Lincoln has received the nomination.—
When some enterprising partisan officer of
the revo.lution proposed to carry or Sir Win.
Howe froth the midst of his army, Washing
ton put his veto on it at once. He ban no
doubt that it was feasible ; but Howe had
conducted the war as stupidly as it was pos
sible for any man to conduct, and any change
whatever could be but for the British inter
est. Let him stay, fur fear of a successor
who might nut be quite such au imbecile.—
So we say of Old Abe It would be impos
sible to find another such ass in the United
States; and, there'fbre, we say let him stay.
• '• W,e, at least, of the Confederacy, - ought to
be satisfied with him, for he has COndUCted

Republican Rule and Ruin.
h. writer in the Indianapolis-Sentinel spins
pp
pp !merle 9f the results of klepublicap rele for
the past three years. The whole people of
the whole country are seeing and.feeling these
results. They tress upon all alike—high
taxes ;Ind high prices have to be paid by all:
and by and by all will wonder at the infamy
and delusion► that produced them.
Fiist: We have lost, by death and perma
more than a million of men
from violence and disease, in this war. Dyer
two millions have enlisted altogether. There
are not much over half a million in the field
now. Where are the balance?
• Second: We pave created a debt 0f over
three thousand millions ct dollars. The of
ficial report of the Secretary of the Treasury
does not show over one half the actual debt,
it does not take into account the floating debt
•created by quartermasters, and other officers,
for which receipts, certificates and vouchers
are outstanding.
Third: By the Abolition and Confiscation
acts, every vestige of Union feeling in the
sontn is blotted put, as pumncre's policy
united the colonies.
Fourth: The nation's wealth is about
twelve thousand millions of dollars. Three
thousand millions of that has been wasted.—
So we are that much poorer. Its place is
supplied by irredeemable paper.
Fitth: The whole country is one vast pest
hou.se of sickness and disease, consequent
upon congregating men in large bodies, and
then scattering them throughout the land.
Sixth: In every direction we may turn, we
hear the voice of mourning, and see the Weeds
of affliction. Well might the wise man say: ,
When the righteous are in authority, the peo
ple rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule
the people mourn.
Seventh: Demoralization is spreading, as
a leprous sore, through all the ramifications
GI society. Look at the police reports; there
is no Ion& Much regard fir human life.—
Look aro - uud you and. see the "dissolution of
the framework of society,'? But the other
day two Bepublican papers were discussing
the question whether, at the headquarters of
Abolition officials, there were fifteen thousand
or only ten thousand lewd women. Rascal
ity and public plunder, as in the cases of.
Cameron and Fremont, are regarded and re
warded as special virtues in officials.

Mamas. .Enrroirs::—lt has frequently been
my food fortune to visit those old fashioned
4th of July celebration% where love, like a
bright t.ngel, spread a• quiet ,calm over the
assembly, where the speaker of the day en
deavored to inculcate those bright and holy
principles of philanthropy,—loye, truth, char
ity, and benevolence, and to lead the tender
minds by the green pasturas and still waters,
to taste the sweets of peace and good will to
men. Such an one was announced to be
held at lialtbrook church, on South Ten
Mile. Bat like many other human under
takings, ,it : at least partially failed.
Arrangements were made for the dinner
in the Sugar &rove, a quarter of a mile above
the church, also a commodious stand for the
speakers. I : lie different schools assembled,
displaying beautiful and appropriate banners.
I was particularly struck by the 4. P. school,
(generally known, I believe, as the Johnson
school,) which came in headed 1;)y an excel
lent band of music, led by a small boy.—
Two young gentlemen from Hoover' Run,
belonging to the Tom's Run band, also vol
unteered to head this school, and the way
they handled their drumsticks, truly did
credit to their excellent teacher, Captain
Temple. This school was made to receive
and escort the 1: I tallbrook school. The citi
zens not being apprized of the arrangements,
fell off at the grove, expecting the schools
to countermarch back to the grove. But
unfortunately for them, . the schools were
marched to the church, and the children's
speeches hurried through. The line of march
was then taken up, and moved up to the
grove, wbeie they partook of a sumptuous
4nuer, which did credit to the good citizens
in that vicinity. The dinner lispatched, the
meeting was orgauized by appointing a Pres
ident and two Secretaries. The Rev. F.
Oaks delivered a very neat and appropriate
address to the Sabbath Schools. The Rev.
Robert Laughlin followed with what perhaps,
he would style a 4th of July oration, which
for high sounding words, malicious epithets
and rank partizan declarations, was truly re
markable: His denunciations of what he
was pleased to term copperhead ; his flings
at those who do not belong to the "Union
League," certainly showed a disposition to
stir up rancor in the breasts of his fellow
men. Tie endeavoreu to make it appear,
that all who would not flails in this war
would surely be damned! Time and space
will not permit a general exposition of his
declamation. &Ace it to say, he gave his
experience, —how he had killed rebels and
stamped upon them. his series of trittla
were certainly touching, and brought tears
from the Acv. old gentleman who was on
the stand with him. It was truly appalling
to see the old man weeping for the departed
three hundred—that he paid for his son !
While the speaking was going on, a goodly
number of citizens, who had not heard the
scholars speak, (for reasons above stated,)
collected the children and repaired to the
church, they spoke their pieces all over again,
acquitting
.themselves with honor. There
wore quite a number of bright little fellows
from the Johnson school, who held the audi
ence spell-bound by their eloquence ; and
one from Willow Grove, one of the Hall
brook, also a beautiful song from a small boy
and girl. Yours, &c.,

At Regimental Hospital, White House, Va.,
May 31st, 1864, Captain Joint F. MoCur..-
toL on, aged 23 years and a tew days.
Captain McCullough was the only son of
the late Evan McCullough of Greene county,
Pa. In the Summer of 1861, Captain Mc-
Cullough promptly responded to the Presi
dent's call for volunteers, and as a private
entered the ranks of Company F., Ist Pa.
Cavalry, in which he served till after the
death of his father, when be was honorably
discharged and returned home to aid •in the
settlement of his fathers estate. But the
claims which an attractive home and strick
en sisterly group had upon him, strong and
urgent as they were, most, in the view of
young McCullough, yield to the superior
claims of an imperiled curd bleeding country,
struggling for life against the most wicked
and atrocioais of human rebellion& With a
promptness and patriotic ardour worthy of
all praise, le entered the infantry service as
Captain of Company A. 140th Regiment,
Penna. Volunteers, in which position, he dis
played qualities such as aeon won the confi
dence of his men and gave promise of early
promotion - to a higher rank. He bore a gal
lant part in the battle of Gettysburg, where
he received 6. wound in one of his limbs
which disabled him from military duty for a
time, when he availed himself of the oppor
tunity of revisiting his friends. On his re
turn to his command, he became eligible to
the Majorship in his Regiment, a commission
for which was issued, but too late for his ac
ceptance. After the opening of the Spring
campaign under Grant, in the absence of
Col. Frazer, Captain McCullough assumed
regimental command, in which capacity his
was acting on the first day of the battle of
Cold Harbor, when he received the wound
of which he shortly afterwards died. It is the
concurrent testimony of eye witnesses that
he was a young gentleman of noble and dig
nified demeanor, as well as a gallant soldier
and accomplishod officer. The following
tram the regimental Chaplain, Rev. J. L.
Milligan, is as touching as it is complimen
tary :

The Analogy between Golden demotY
and Green backed abolitionism, in the Re
publican of last week, is not so striking as
one would suppose at the first reading. We
are inclined to think that the analogy would
be stronger in this presentation of the sub
ject.
Green Backs are running all over the coun
try "seeking whom they may catch somebody"
with paper promises to pay, deceiving and to
be deceived. Like Satan they take us up on
the highest mountain of expectation and de
ceptively promise us the world when they
own no pan of it.
In this they are like abolitionists who-have
always deceiv.ed the people with false prom
ises. Giving us paper promises of adher
ence tithe constitution, yet trapipling that
instrument under foot. Promizing to protect
our liberties, yet making wholesale arrests of
men for criticising the the acts of the admin
istration.
Gold ; is the only medium for regulating ex
changes, that can be relied upon in the hour
of financial crisis. Gold is to the currency
what the Constitution is to the Union its true
basis. Whether it lies silent in the vaults of
the bank, or circulates among th,e people it
always glitters with the evidence of ability to
redeem its promises, and remains firm and
stable to the government amid all the xnuta
tions of Lima.
In these respects Gold is like Democracy
firm and unwavering in her attachment to
the constitution as the real basis of the gov
ernment, and in this hour of our nationol ca
lamity she clings to it as the sheet anchor of
her hope for redemptions when the abolition
rags of paper currency are flying like chaff
before the wind c r f popular indignation.
