NATIONAL UNION TICKET.
FOR PRESIDENT,
Abraham Lincoln,
07 TLLINOI2.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
iindrew Johnson,
Nhaety-Four Thousand Majority for the
Soldier.
The vote on the constitutional amendments
may be regarded as one of the most brilliant
triumphs ever achieved by' the upholders of
the Government at the ballot-box Those
amendments all embrace clear and essential
measures of reform—reform in the highest
sense designed for the purification of the
Government and the recognit!on of the right's
of those who are willing to peril life and
limb in its service. On no one of the' amend-
ments were the Democratic leaders more Nil , -
• ulent and persistent in their opposition than
on the section guaranteeing the eleit
ive franchise to the soldier. The Demo
cratic State Central Committee, every
Democratic County Committee in the Com
monwealth, all the Democratic organs
printed in the same limits, with every
Democratic orator and leader, strenuously,
systematically and violently opposed the ex
tension of the elective franchise to the sol
dier. But in the face of this opposition, and
while conducting the election in a spirit of
calm'forbearance and..patriotic dig,nit thr
loyal men of the State were enabled to carry
the "First Amendment" by ninety-four thou
sand majority. There is a lesson in this vote
which we do not want to go unheeded before
and at the corning Presidential election. The
issue involved in the question of extending
the elective franchise to the soldier, is
the same as that embraced in the questions
making up the issue in the Presidential elec
tion. Every man who voted for the enfran
chisement of the soldier, to be consistent,
must vote for the re-election of Abraham Lin
coln—and every soldier vindicated in all his
civil rights by the struggles of the friends of
the National Administration, must, to be. true
to himself and faithful to the Government,
sustain those who defend- him, by voting for
the re-election of the present incumbent of
the White House. Such a . vote, and we be
lieve that Abraham Lincoln will receive this
support as sincerely as we have faith in his
patriotism, will make the vote of Pennsylvania
in his favor, rise to at least ONE HummEn arm
FIFTY TROVSAND MAJORITY !
The Copperheads Defeated in Coll3ltCti.
cut and Rhode Island.
We have already given the fact that the elec
tion in Connecticut and Rhode Island, to de
cide the question of extending the elective
franchise to the soldier, resultedin a victory to
those who were in favor of that just, horiorw•
ble and patriotic measure. Bat it is fair`that
the friends of the soldier in all the loyal
States, should know that the same bitter oppo
sition which rendered infamous the Demo
cratic attitude on this question in Pennsylva
nia, characterized the course of the same par
tizans in the Stites named. The Democratic
leaders of Connecticut and Rhode Island, with
all the force they could wield of their respec
tive organizations, with all the power of their
secret, oath-bound societies, with the tactics
of their clique leaders and the criminal lies of
their organs, did all they could to repudiate
the sacred rights of the soldier, but they
failed, and the heroes who went forth from
Rh'ode Island and Connecticut to fight
the battles of the Union and contend with the
foes of freedom, have been recognized as citi
zens, as men, as freemen! All honor to Con
indict:a and Rhode Island.
The Extension el the Capitol.
The question of extending the capitol by the
erection of wings as , decided upon last win
ter,,when it came up in the House a few days
since, was defeated. We are not able to as
sign the reason for this rejection. When the
appropriation bill reached the Senate,_Sena
tor Fleming moved the insertion of an item
-for the payment of the expense of the exteri
sicm, as decided upon lest winter. His Motion
prevailed, and the amendment has since been"
concurred in by the House. The extension of
the capitol will therefore immediately be com
menced.. The law as it now reads, authorizes
the Clommissioners at once to proceed with the
work and to accept the plan already before
them. From this we infer that the plan of
,Mr. Simon, of Harrisburg, is the one that
will be accepted, as his is the only draft of the
extension before the Commissioners. The
importance of this work cannot be over-esti
mated, as it interests the people of the State
at large. The great increase of the public be
:Awe—the necessary enlarg'emenf of the force
.to Attend to this business—all rendei it abso
lutely necessary that the public buildings
'should be extended, and that every facility be
Offered the 'authorities for the discharge of
their duties. _ •
Who are the Friends of the Soldier
We have been frequently told by copper
head orators, that the true friends of the _
sol
dier, were those who advpcate opposition to
the "Lincoln tyranny." Well, at the latetelec
tiou. the American soldier was invested with
the highest dignity of a Republican freeman
the was endowed with the privileges of: the
eletot'vA franchise,: and thus placed upo',
political level with the most favored citizen in
the Union. But how-have the peenhar-tiiendg

Recruiting in Pennsylvania.
There never was a time since the precipita
tion of the slave holders' rebellion that re
cruiting was more steadily, systematically,
and successfully carried on.in Pennsylvania,
than at the present 7 The first great excite
ment at the beginning of the warlrottght out
a mighty army by a sort of impulsive and
wildly enthusiastic uprising. The difference
between that movement and the proceedings
attending tho present filling up of the quota
of Pennsylvania, is that men are rushing to
arms fully impressed with the nature of the
service they are to endure, and fully under
standing the dangers through which they are
to pass. This is a movement of calm, delibe-,
rate and determined action-run earnest and
deep feeling ef t resolve to. put:enepd to - .the
slave-holder s' rebellion in.:-tha shortest
possible time. To show thesuccess of the
recruiting throughout the c . ..tintry, it in only
necessary to "state the fact that up to noon
yesterday there were over THIRTY THOUSAND
SOLDIERS returned to the Assistant Provost
Inrshal Generals in the Eastern and West
ern Departments of the State, by the different
Provost Marshals of this Commonwealth, as
hiving been mustered into the service 'of the
United States.. At this rate, if but a shoit
time were afforded the people beyond that
fixed for the draft, the entire State could fill
its quota of the five hundred thousand men.
—The character of the men entering the
service, too, is of the highest essential in the
requirements of a soldier. Tie largerportion
have already seen service under fire, and
hence may be fairly regarded as veterans.
CaPt. Awl, .who has had authority to raise a
regiinent, is gathering to his standard in this
city men of the very highest obaraeter, both
as regards their martial and moral qualifica
tions. Indeed, if he can'complete his regi
ment as he has thus far progressed with its
organization, he will lead from the State the
finest body of men ever mustered into the
service of the United States, And what is
true of the recruits received by• Capt. Awl,
applies as well to the volunteers now swelling
the ranks of other organizations. „The old
Keystone State is sending cut her Iciest reserve
material, and when she has filled the quota
now demanded of her, 'she will not , be ex
hausted, but still possess the virtue and the
valor from which to recruit heroes to con=
tend with traitors. • • `'.
The Bouniy Frauds.
The following important having been
passed by the Legislature, was signed by the
Governor to-day:
AN ACT for the protection of- Volunteers
against frauds in the payment of bounty
money.
SEc. 1. Be it enacted by
,thlSenale and IjOies'e
of Representatives of the Cum i ihonicealth of Penn

hereby enacted by the awhority of the same, That
any person who may be enftiisted with any
bounty money for any Pennsylvania Volun
teer entering the service of the tnited States
or this State, who shall, with or without the
consent of said volunteer, retain the' ame or
any part thereof, 'or shall fail to pay to such
volunteer at the time of his being Mustered in
the full amount of such bounty money with
out any deduction or abatement, shell .;bb
deemed guilty of a niisOelneanor; and" on On
viction thereof in any . court of oyer and ten

In reply to this impertinence the Washing

The enemy early yesterday morning disap

that the attempt to regain possession of this

be preparing to make a:dash on our lines in

They then made a rush into Gen.. Buck

making his escape.
They then attacked the Irving prison, but

did not,get hip' it:
Odr troops now attacked the rebels and
soon drove them from the city, killing about
30 and wounding 100.
The rebels captured 30 of our men and 40
horses. They did not have much time to
obtain much plunder. Our loss in killed and
wounded is about the same as that of the
rebels.
