EtiegraPT/' HARRISBURG, PA. WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 24, 1864. 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 Of the soldier received-this recognition Of, his just rights ?

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 sylvania in General Assembly mft, and it is 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 miner or quarter sessions, shall be sentenced to pay a fin, of five hundred dollars. and"-to be imprisoned at hard labor in the peniten tiary for the term of six mouths.
