THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
HARRISBURG, PA
WEDNESDAY EVENING, NAY 18, 1864.
FOR THE AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION
GEAERING THE
SOLDIERS' RIGHT .TO VOTE.
How the People of Pennsylvania can Re
-7 - pay-their - Soldiers.
The people of Pennsylvania owe a lasting
debt of gratitude to the soldiers who have not
only defeated Lee's magnificent plan to invade
and overrun this State, but who have driven
the rebel army back into its outer entrench
ments; protecting Richmond. This debt is
not to be liqnidated by an increase of pay or
the bestowal of the empty honors of applause.
The American soldier fights for a noblerrecog
*tion, than that which is conveyed by money
andhuzzas. What he contends for. now, is
the safety .of the National authority, the per
petnitY of the National Union and the com
plete recognition of the National Govern
ment. Those who sympathize with the ef
forts of the slave power to destroy all these,
insist that while the soldier is centending,'for
their success, he forfeits all his rights', and
franchises, becoming not merely a machine
in the hands of the military, but a slave in
the estimation-of the civil power of the Gov
ernmerit. "These who 'uphold the war, who
sustain the Government and oppose treason,
insist .that the soldier . forfeits none of the
rights of citizenship which he possessed be
fore he entered the army: The issue of this
question is to be tried at the elee'tion in Au
gust 'next. While the soldier is fighting the
battles of the Government in a struggle with
traitors, the highest honors whiCh the people
at home can. bestow on the heroes in the
army is to guarantee .the. legal right of the
franchise to every Pennsylvanian now in, or
who may hereafter , enter, the army.-2 : The ene
mies of the Government are opposedto the en
franchiseMent of the soldier. It „is natural'
that they should be, as the soldier's exercise
of the franchise will deprive the traitor sym
pathizers of all hope of again getting posses
sicintof the civil functions of the Government.
Thede are impprtant pointato be decided
o at
the election on the Constitutional antendments
in-August next; and the .result of that .elec
tion will fix.the elections to follow in October
and November. Hence the policy of at once
organizing for. the election , in Angusti If
that election is decided against the soldiers in the.
fieid,what right have-the people who stay at home
to expect the soldier to peril hit life in defence of
their peace and property? We hope, therefore,
that every loSlal journal in the State will at
once devote a portion of its columns from
now until the election in August, to the advo
.
°Etc' y Of the soldiers' right to vote.
Who are Our 'Enemies
'lie naan who looks at this war diapassion-
Mali,' and Airects . his observations only to the
men who are engaged in the rebellion, cannot
ail to be moved by strange sensations of
horror at the ingratitude of the leading conspi
rators. No government ever did more for any
people, or for any section: of the domain over
which it ruled, than has the government of
the United States done for the people of the
South and the South itself. If left to them
selves when the Federal Union was formed,
the' States of the South would have been little
further advanced than are those which form
}lie Mexican nation—little more improved, in
fact, than any of - the retrograding States of
Berith America. But, 'borne , forward by the
spirit of progress which has animated and
improved the great free States since the organ
ization of the _ Union, the, slave States have
been actually prevented from relapsing into
barbarism. The very spirit of their' institu
tions-and laws tended' to the barbarous. The
lilharty nf speech and the freedom of the press
Have,. both been jealously restricted in the
South, while the millions held in slavery were
shut out from all educational light, by lewd
as strict as those whicli are enacted in the free
States for the, protection of life and property.
A, people thus governed in their local relations,
needed some powerful influence to prevent
theni from relapsing into at least semi-barbar
fsm ; ,so ithat, had it not been for the example
and,the progress of the free States, with the
patronage and distribution of offices by the
Cf eneral Government, the slave States would
have years since. been convulsed by their own
passions, and become the scenes of that blood
shed and violence which are the common
results'of a government where might makes
Izght . In. addition to the force of these ex
ahiples, the people of the South, as individ
uals and as communities; have been larger
benefifted 'by the direct patronage of
the government •than those of any other
sectisin of the Union. From the forma
tion.of the-Government the leaders of South
ern .society were nothitig
. more than - mere
place-hunters at the dispoiel of the adMinis
tration in power. 'the sons of rich planters
looked forward to positions in the army and
thenavy, as belonging _to them by a„sort of
inheritance,. until. when ' thewar of rebellion
was precipitated, the South had the controfpf
the;Uaval. and ;military forces of,the GOVOrril
hien 'Those who failed as professional men
T. 14491,,5_0uth were either.fornished with desks
and sinecures in the departments at WaAting:,
ton, or they were sent . abroad to disgrace_ ate
easstes the nation at the
eotirts of the rulers' of "lEurope. Such Were
the benefits conferred- OE the people of the
, .
!filth: What they had of prosperity was , de
rived directly from the, national Government.
Whit they p,ossfectle
luittry oi:Cduoation, yereciiterihe,prOduct of
Northern - handicraft, or the teaching of - the uni
versities-and colleges in , the'-same . section.
And. yet -these are' the 'people that itive
Tolled and combined for the destriiction. of
the _government... and the desolation of -that
portion of its domain from which 'have r Viela
derived the wealth and the influence that
have supported the power and maintained the
dignity of the entire nation. How atrocious,
then, becomes the rebellion of the people of
the South, when these facts are considered?
The people whom this Government wrist serv
ed, a section which all the other portions of tho
country contributed - :.'to maintaining, now in
revolt, aiming to overthrow and destroy the
purest and the - .greatest government in the
world. It seems as if God intended that a
conspiracy like that of the slave-holders
should be linked with the blackest ingratitude,
that the doom of the ingrates and the couspir
tors might be made more terrible.
Patriotiata of the Lutheran Church
The General Synod of the. Lutheran Church
of 'the United: States held its biennial session
in York, Pa. i 'during the last- ten - days. A
committee on the state of the country, con
sisting of one member from each Synod rep
resented, was appointed, of which Rev. W.
A. Passavant, of Pittsburg, was Chairman.
The following patriotic resolutions were re
ported by the committee, and unanimously
adopted, on a call of the yeas and nays. It
will be seen that they take strong ground in
support of the 'Government, and most ern--
phatically condemn the system of American
slavery as a sin against God, and as the cause
of the '.rebellicat 2.They also rabuke• the at
tempt of Bishop Hopkins, in his celebrated
letter, An prove thaeslavery is a divine insti
tution. By the adoption of these resolutions
the LiitheYin Church of the United States
Places itself fairly on the side of justice and
right. We bespeak for them the careful peru
sal of our readers: _ • . ,
Resolved, That aving asSe.mbled. second
time daring the prevalence of civil war in otir
hind, this Synod cannot separate without sol
emnly re-affirming the declarations adopted at
our last Corrienticin in reference to the origi
nating cause of the rebellion, the necessity of
its forcible suppression, the righteousness of
the war which is waged by the Government of
the United States for the maintenance of the
national life, and the consequent duty of every
Christian to support it by the whole weight
of his influence, his prayers and his efforts.
Resolved, That we acknowledge with pro-
found gratitude to Almighty God, the various
important successes which have thus far
crowned our arms; the merciful interposition
of Providence in delivering us from the inva
sions of the enemy, .aud in protecting our
homes, our. ,churches and our institutions
from the desOlations of war; and the -. cheering
progrpss - which has been made by the Govern
ment andthe Nation in the recognition of the
laws of God and the Tights of • man in. .the
measures which . have been adopted for the
suppression of the rebellion.
Resolved; That recognizing the sufferings
and calainities of war Eis•thErrighteous judg
ment of a, just -God visited upon us for our
transgressions, we call upon our pastors and
churches to unite with us in the confession of
our many and grievous, individual and natioik.
iil4sins, and in fervent supplications for the
Divine forgiveness, that as a people we , may
break off sins by righteousness, and.clo justly,
love mercy, and walk humbly with God.
_Resolved, That as persistent, efforts are
making among us by professedly christi
writers to prove, from the lEtolY Scriptures,
the Divine institution of American slavery—
the principal cause of this wicked rebellion—
we, the Delegates of the General Synod of the
Evangelical Lutheian Church in the United
States, hereby express our unquelifted,, con
demnation of such a course, which claims.the
sanction of the merciful God and Fathei'bf us
all for a system of human oppression Which
exists only by violence, under the Cover of
iniquitous laws. - •

REINFORCEMENTS GONE UP.
THREE ARMIES BESIEGING RICHMOND.
DANVILLE RAILROAD CUT BY GEN. KAUTZ.
BALTIMORE, May 18-40 A. ;$l.
lIIWe kern that
there is cheering news in this
city from Gen. Butler's army.
Large reinforeembnta have gone forward,
and the combined force amounted to not less
thin' sixty; thousand men. These were divided
into three parties, one menacing Petersburg,
and keeping the rebel troops employed there.
Another was besieging Fort Darling, with
every prospect of an early success, while a
third'army largir, than either of tird others,
was , marching Upon Richniond.
Hopes were' expressed that the rebel Capital
would•soon be captured. Indeed, prominent
officers predicted that the city would be ours
•before Wednesday, 18th inst.
These rumors came through previous to the
arrival, of Gen. Sheridan's cavalry, which
would be a large and vallt'ablei addition to the
forces .1 operating under, Gen. ButlerAi cop"-
mend.
Certain information.had Come to hand that
the Danville road had been Cut by Gen. Rautz.
The roads in that part of Virginia are inad
mirable condition, 'and the, prevailing rains
would not impede military . operations.
The only bad news at handis that Beaure
gard, with a large force, had ,made a forced
march from Weldon and Petersburg to the
left of the line of the railroad, and had reach
ed. Richmond, doubtless on his nay to join
Lee's army. ,

The Dispatch reported General Stuart, after
the fight at yellow Tavern, to move off at the
head of his caValry. He thinka his death. a
ruse. He say the prevailing opinion in the
country . around Richinimd is that if they can
hold the capital, during this- campaign that
the: war will terminate—consequently , every

effort is dire'cted for its maintenance. •
• The rebels have great confidence in the
