HARRISBURG, PA.
FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 19, 1861.
An Able Dblezwion.
• A session was held last evening,in the House:
of Representatives, for tlie purpose- of con;
sidering the resolution offered by Mr. Kelley
of Washington county, some days since,
providing that none but loyal citizens" shall
secure indemnificatiOn for damages and
and losses sustained . during .the rebel
raid into Permsylvania. Messrs: Kelley,
Sinith, of Chester, Smith, of PhilidelPhia, and
Orwig, made some eloquent and ableFerearks
on the subject.. Wei shall;publish all these
speeches in the' regular' "edition of the TELE
GMAT% in. _a few days,..as they were.reported
phonographicallY especially for this journal.
Members and others desiring extra copies
will please leave their "orders at the publica
tion office at once. ".• Every loyal man in Penn
sylvania should read them.
•
, They Miarepristlit the. People.-

The other day we -..,heard,a singular excuse
offered for the stubbornness of the Sateen
men who have bloCkt4 the wheels of legisla-•
tion in the Senate of this State forthe last-six
weeks, at a cost to the tax-payers of four dol.'
lays per day fir i3aeh ineinber of the Legisla
ture. It was this: - ,"One of the 'Republican
Senators, Whd had a majority of the people's
and soldiers' Vote in 1864 lies in , a diSt4ct
which gave Woodward 300 or 400 majority in
1863; therefore , he should 'resign, and a new
election be ordered." It is dikew wrinkle in
Democracy that a 'Verson :el'epted shall
not serve out the term Vir which he Was elected
simply because the_people o 1 his district hap
pened, on anotherissuevafterwards, to vote
against a candidate of his,party!
Suppose we adopt the principle. The pre
sent Auditor General and Surveyor General of
I"ennsylvinia , had 3,soo'majoritSr in 1862=but
1863 records a verdict of 15,000 against them
—therefore, Aissrfi. Bans and Srmormit,„with
all their clerks, must reaigni ;Will they do it?
Our Union Senators will resign if they will
we reckon.
Again—Client - Es-B. BUCKALEW is serving as
United States Senato4 having. had One' Major
ity of legislators and 3,soo 4 Qf ~b he , people in
1862; but the present - Legislature'
against him, and the people 15,000: "As
I 1.
sauce for the goose is sanee,for the gander,"
we call on Mr. Buclmlew to resign.
tk lar g e number of COUNTY °means, elected.
in 1861 and 862; are clearly
,‘instracted out of
their stations ,by the larger vote a 1863.
When they. "throw up," it will be,full time for.
our Senator to do what - not one of them will
do.
But let us take another view:

If we figure right, here *92 per cent. Re
publican to . B per cent:Demoorat.
Now, Ohio gave 432 468 votes at home and
44,706 in the army. Pennsylvania's hiSme
vote Was 523,667. In 'the saMe,proP4ition
Ohio, Pennsylvania would have 53,627• votes
from the soldiers. . • • .
The Senate of Pennsylvania compiise,s
thirty-three members. Divide 33 into 53,627,
gives 1,625 ,soldier votes to each Senatorial
district. - Dividing these votes , as they :were
divided in other States, , and we have 1,422 Re
puliiican.to 203 Democratic votes—an average:
Republican Majority of 1,219 t 6 'each district.
Now, take the svotefor Curtin in their Sena
tonaldistricts, and add these soldiers' votes,
and You wipe out„the majorities for Senators
