FOR VICE PREgOEIM '

=
Who are the Friends of the Solder} _
The result of the late election, centering on
the proposition of extending the elective fran
chise to the soldier, is perhaps th 9 proudest
achievement ever wrought by the American
people at the ballot box., Indeed, since. the
formation of the Union, or rather since the
adoption of the State Constitution, no ques
tion of equal importance agitated the public,
mind. It was not an issue merely inv.olving
the prosperity of one particular branch of
siness. It was not a question iron
should be admitted to our; i6rtS'on adva,lzirena
or specific duties. It, did not involve the im
provement,of rivers or harbors, or a division
of the proceeds of the sale of public lands.
It was a question rising higher than the mere
profits.of business—a question affecting: the
dearest rights of a freeman, while he was at:
testing his highest claims to cifiFenship r yy t.
periling his life in defence of the:laiv'aud:
order of:the land; Such was the issue:involi-.
ing the right of the soldiers' exercise of the
elective franchise. At the election' on the
Amendment of the Constitution guaranteeing
this right to the soldier, it became a question
between tie two great, par.ies of the State,
and never before was a contest more bitterly
canvassed than the one 'which decided this
result. The Democratic alias. 9opperhead
leaders " made the issue broad and distinct.
They were opposed to extending the right of
the elective-franchise to the soldier, because
he was a hireling and a slave, and therefore,
Unfit to be invested with the fran:chises of a
freeman. In order to understand how , the
Democratic leaders managed their hostility
to the soldier, we need only refer the reader
to the tabular report of the official vote we
publish to-day. From that it will be seen
that in all
.the "well regulated" Demo
cratic districts—in all the election dis
tricts where copperhead sympathy for
treason prevails to a large extent, -there '
the soldier was opposed—there the effort
was strongest to deny to the 'man wiling to
to peril his life in defence of his country, a
right to participate in the government thereof.
And vice versa, where true Union sentiment
prevailed, there the vote in favor of the amend-,
meat was strong and'thelaijority ,
There never was a return :of an election so
highly worthy of the study of the people, es'
the returns we publish to day; and in Order'
to show the feeling in strong Union and
Copperhead counties, in regard to the soldier,
we submit the vote in counties for and agfilitat
the first amendment:

Now let us, turn to the .other . side of the
picture, and see how the copperhead leaders
treat their friends, who, they have all along
claimed, make up the great bulk of the army .
All through the war the country and the world
was assured that the "Democracy" were doing
the fighting—now look how the Democracy at
home treat - their fellow Democrats in the field.

-Figures never lie: . Herein we have, then,-
the true attitude of the Democratic leaders.
They oppose the enfranchiseniput t , of The
soldier, the same as they oppose -the was.
To these demagogue% WhateVerleadg, fb the
elevation of the soldier, whatever .promises
to strengthen our alma and. give victory to
our cause, is the same, and:will be opposed
with equal bitterness. Indeed, the great ma—
jority of the votes polled. against extending the
elective franchise to a soldier, could be emi t '
trolled by the smile leaders in favor of Jeff.
Davis for the Presidency.i jtis•the animus of
Democratic sympathy for treaße.' lila the
avowal of a hatred to all, alike he who fights
for or who advocates the cause 9f his country
Tim Faomorros.oF A Goon. Mw.; is alike a
benefit to the cause he serves, and an act
,c 2 f
justiee which never fails to excite the emnla- •
tion of those within the influence of the e:
cognition. For these reasons we are sine the
promotion of Col. 4aines A. Ekin, to the rank .

benefit to the service, and encourage other
good men to etaulaiion likely to Meet the same

he has steadily risen in rank and , intineneei

the first division of the Quartermaster's De

entirely competent, as well for his administra
tive abilities, his courtesies as a gentleman,
and his discipline . a.vt soldier. We consider
such a promotion an honor not only to the
service, but:to the State and the friends whom
Ekin represents.
A CONTBAST. : —A few days,. since a rebel

burg, an undefended village in this State,
which had never offered_ resistance, turning
half naked women end botbeS out from their
flaming houses, destroying churches and hos
pitals, and violating,- with bis , robber crew, all

of the rebel country, in Alabama ; he found in
a certain village, named toachapolie,ll, depot
oLyebel stores and ca factory. These were
very properly burnt,. but the adjacent houses
of the citizens werelaaved by the personal ex
ertions of the Eleneral and - his soldiers—the
latiefputting their own Wet blankets on the
roofs. In Talladega, a' confederate gun
factory was broken up rather than burned,
for fear that private liouses Might also suffer.
at another itation„ the hospitals and,
tents for the sick tebels were carefully spared.
We like such c 6ntrasts; , and were not surprised
at them. General itonsseau is the public
officer of 'a great nation, :and he is a gentle-,
man ; McCausland is a vulgar brigand and
rebel, serving.alorde of robbers,' and he is a
copperhead. -
A FEARFUL RIOT almost , took place in Johns
tOWn'en Saturday last, between a gang of Cop-
PdrheaciS anti a squad of soldier& We have
been surprised that a bloody riot did not long
since g age in that village, as the. Johnstown
Dem:oral, is laboring with might and main to
bring a collision about between loyal men and
those who sympathize with the slaveholders'
t.eason. Indeed, We doubt if there is a sheet
in the South viler or filthier in- its accusa
tions of the National Government—denying
every national franchise—insulting eve y na
tional feeling of pride—and seeking in every
Way to deg ade the 'nation to the service either

of rebellion, and if Pennsylvania should be
cursed with o i war, such sheets as the
