We cannot too urgently impress our friends w!th the importance of attending to the as sessments in the different election districts. The men who are now in the field, giving their time and periling their lives in defence of the Government, must not lose their votes by any neglect of their friends at home to have them assessed. Have your son, brother or neighbor assessed without delay, pay his county tax of ten cents, and send the evidence thereof at once to him by mail—together with the Union ticket, or a list of the Union nom inations. Careful attention to this matter will give us hundreds of votes in Dauphin coun ty that will otherwise be los - . Union men! do at least this mach for the brave men who are fighting the battles of the Government. The rourteruth Congressional District. The Conference of the Fourteenth Congres sional District, composed of the counties of Northumberland, Snyder, Union, Juniata and Dauphin, met at Sunbury to-day. The names of the gentlemen prominently before the peo ple for,the nomination for Congress in the Diatriot are, George Miller, of Lewisburg, who has instructed tor him the Conterees 01 Snyder and Union counties; John P. Packer. of Sunbury, who 'has the Northumberland Conferees; John J. Patterson, of Mifflintown. who has the Juniata Conferees, and A. J. Herr, of this city, who has the Dauphin coun ty Conferees. We expect to be able to give the result of the Conference in our morning edition. Warren County Union NOM luations. The Union men of Warren county have nominated the following ticket for legislative •nd county offices : Assembly—W D Brown. Sheriff —Robert Allen. Prothonotary—lsaac H. Miller. Co.tnr,y Cominissiouer-:—W. C. Garoelow. County Treasurer —A. C. Lane. D.strict Attorney—Orin Allen. Auditor-1 L. Gerndun. —Kr, Brown was a member of the Hon e in 1883, and assistant clerk to the same body daring the last session. The fact of his re nomination may be regarded as a high com pliment. Ho is certainly a man of ability, worth and integ: - Which Wlll Ton Give? Lieut -General Unconditional Surrender Grant asks the country for a hundred thou sand musket bearing men, and promises, ii they are given him, to make peace for us by crashing the rebellion out of existence. Major.-Gen. George B. M'Clellan asks the country for two million votes, and promises, if they are given him, to make peace for us by bargaining with the rebellion, and chang ing the Constitution to snit traitors. Citizens, which will you give ? Four Strsrrza, that has so long withstood the most terrific ordnance fire ever directed against any similar object, is, it is reported by persons just from Charleston, rapidly se k ttling, and in a very short time it was believed the water would enter the lower tier of embra sures. It is a fact well known to our engi neers that this fortification was erected upon quite a thin point of sand, which strata of sand rested upon a soft, pulpy mass of de bris. Tas new Democracy: Not two-thirds of the delegates to the Chicago Convention were Democrats eight years ago. In Pennsylvania, we find the prominent leaders of the new Democracy to be snob men as William B. Reed of Philadelphia, who is even ahead of M'Clellan in his zeal for arbitrary arrests, as he ordered the arrest while lie was District Attorney, of an entire Democratic club. Now Reed is engaged in howling over the arbitrary arrest of traitors. /11'Cuumart's chances go down with the rebel strongholds. As the rebel strongholds fall, Lincoln's chances rise. The success of ourarms is disaster to the Chicago nominees. The failure of our arms and the success of the Copperheads are synonymous. The Na tional Flag and the National Union nominees go down together. Ova copperhead cotemporaries are urging the immediate formation of " Dem c alio Clubs." We suggest that it is inappropriate to name buela organizations dabs, it is to be concerned therein. SPADES would be a more significant name fur the conclaves. „ GOD'. country,” is the beautiful and ap propialatte name given by asn.-Sherman's sol diers to the free States i* which they were burs 1114 PM& Let the . Soldiers near. Without the vote of the soldiers no man can be elected President. The men who are in the field, contending with armed traitors, have the decision of the coming Presidential contest in their hands. Knowing this fact, the Democratic leaders opposed the extension of the right of the elective franchise to the soldiers in the field, in every State wher this question was submitted to the people. In view of this fact, how can a soldier or a friend of the bleeding heroes, Tote for candi dates who are directly in the control of those thus opposing the entraiachisemenr of the volunteer and regular soldier? And in ad dition to the opposition to the rights of the soldier to vote, by the Democratic leaders, George H. Pendleton, the Chicago nominee for the Vice Presidency, is the man who pub licly " thanked God th .t he had never voted or given a dollar in support of the lea•, or in the payment of .44. b sokliers." The election of such a man, of course, would be highly acceptable to the traitors. Now, if McClellan should die, or be put out of the way by some Southern assassin, Pendleton would become President in his stead. Then the traitors would have everything in their hands as com pletely as if Jeff Davis himself were in the Presidential chair. This is an event by no weans unlikely to happen in case of the elec tion of the Chicago ticket. Government Credit Improving. Gold is falling and the credit of the Gov ernment is daily improving. These indications point as well to to the triumph of the Policy in operation to crush rebellion as they do to the speedy termination of the war. If that policy can be sustained for a few weeks longer, the position of the Government will be so strength ened, as A render any future effort for its subversion impossible. Nothing could now be so fatal to the future prospects of the nation„ as a change of authorities. By a hange of administrations, a year hence would discover the nation in a worse condition than ever—the rebellion would be revived—the strongholds just • wrested from the traitros, would be re-possessed by their armies--the credit of the Government would languish--and all our sacrifices to maintain the national au thority go tor naught. The man who now votes to sustain the national Administration does as much for the restoration of the Union and the safety of the Government as the soldier in the field. And in the same light, the man who votes against the Administration, gives to the rebellion and treason, a like aid with that afforded by the armed traitor. A vote against Abraham Lincoln, is a blow at the credit of country—a blow at its liabilities—a blow at its solvends and an effort for the beggary of every m to who is its creditor or who holds any dwount, of its money. These are severe truths. l'hey involve the maintenance of the ere 'it as well as the glory of the nation. A lit gativu Platform. The copperhead platform is more remarka ble for what it omits than what it contains. Look at it: • Ist. It says nothing in favor of the Monroe Doctrine—uot a word. 2d. It says not a word in favor of suspend ing the operation oeihe draft for 500,000 men. IL It says not a word against the Emanoipa Lion Proclamation. 4th. Not a word against employing negro :Addict/a or sailors to fight the rebels. sth. Not a word against wiping out slavery oy the military blows or by a change of the Clonstitu tion. 6th. Not a word against General Butler's amous contraband doctrine. 7th. .Not a word against the Amnesty Pro clamation, nor against the Republican Con gressional plan of Reconstruction. • Bth. Not a word against the confiscation of the property of rebels—real or personal. 9th. Not a word in favor of returning con fiscated property to the rebels. 10th. Not a word against the repeal of the Fugitive Slave law. llth. Not a word against the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia. 12th. Not a word against the Congressional prohibition of slavery in the Territories. lath. Not a word against the Tax Law, passed by a Republioan Congress. 14th. Not a word in favor of repudiating the National debt. 15th. Not a word against Jell. Davis or the rebellion. 16th. Not a word in favor of State sover eignty and the right of secession. 17th. Not a word against "coercing sover eign States," or against "holding the Union together by Federal bayonets." 18th. Not a word in favor of paying the rebel debt • 19th. Not a word in favor of encouraging white laboring emigration from Europe. 20th. Finally—not a word in favor of going on with the war in case the proposed armis tice tails to bring the rebels back into the Union. A platform so contemptible and cowardly was ntter presented to a party in this country or anyther in this age, or in any age of the world. UNION OFFICERS IN Res=r. HANDS.—The re cently released Union officers from Charleston, who arrived in New York on Sunday, state that on the 4th of July there were twelve hundred Union officers held as prisoners, at Macon, Georgia. A vote for Mr. Lincoln be ing taken among them, resuited in the polling of one thousand votes. Of the twelve hun dred Union officers held as prisoners at Charleston, none of them are desirous of ex change save on terms that will be advantage ous and highly honorable to the Government. Six hundred of these officers are in the jail and workhouse, the whole number being un der fire. At Savannah, Georgia, six hundred of oar officers are confused. In Charleston only three or four SUMS are open on that once famous thoroughfare known as King street. • SLID Senator Semmes, .of Louisiana in' his recent speech to the rebels at Jackson: "Our hopes for an early peace are dependent en . tirely on the success of the Democratic part* at the North in the 'approaching Presidectial eleativa." M==l What Religious Papers Say, We commend the following article , kept the American Presbyterian to the careful perusal of all our readers. The facts in the same cannot be controverted. Let every freeinan ponder over them and consider them" care fully : AID AND COMFORT It is difficult to decide how much of Mr. Gilmore's (Edmund Kirke's) article in the last Atlantic At naly, entitled " Our Visit to Richmond," is fact and how much romance One question, however, which he puts in the mouth of the rebel President, may well have been asked by that personage : "Do you suppose there are twenty - mil runs at the North determined to crush us ?" What hope could the rebel leaders cherish, or how long could they maintain the hopes of their followers, if they believe that the twenty millions of the North were substantially united against their four and a half millions ? Their only comturt at this hour is in the factious demonstrations taking place in our section. They openly claim the Democratic party of the North, as at present constituted, as their ally. They long and hope for a victory of this party at the ballot box, and their spirits are sustained and their courage is holding out, in the expectation of such a victory. The present Administration, whatever may be its faults, is honestly and earnestly striving to crush the rebellion and to save the country. And considering the unparalleled nature of the work in hand, itsiticcess has been encour aging. An extraordinary degree of energy and ability has been manifested in the vari ous departments of the Government. Oar nation has been'raised to a formidable rank among the military and naval powers of the word. Notwithstanding thepower, the cour age and the pertinacityof the rebellion, such has been the attitude' of the loyal states that no toreign nation hae ventured to recognize it, or to reneter it any but ',the most guarded and stealthyleOvice. We say that the Admin istration is honestly, earnestly and success fully engaged in quelling the great rebellion. It fairly represents the loyal sentiment of the people. It is the:people, acting through their agents, in this great It is the em bodied majesty of our assailed laws, our im perilled institutions, our national existence. It is ftr from perfect, but its errors do not touch or affect the essence of its plans; they are in no way vital; the character of the Gov ernment for loyalty and honesty of purpose is unimpeached. What word then shall we find for bitter, radical opposition to this Government, such as is now organizing in the North? Is there more than one source conceivable from which such opposition could originate? Can we call such movemonts political, without 'downright violence even to this very elastic term? Is there any room for partisan politics in the arena where the nation is engaged in a fierce struggle for its very existence, taxing its re sources, draining its strength, requiring the combined energies of all Its sons? To em barrass and to seek to Overthrow the Govern ment iu the very crisieig the - adbfql struggle ; to devote wealth, talent, partimachiriery in an energetic campaign ittatifilitip in the mo ment wuen it is Meetpg - theflarap throes of rebellion in its Vairagortyof - desperation ; to seek to baffle and confound it by. sowing dis cord, discontent and despondency among the people what is this but Disioxaiax? ;whet is it but joining hands with the foe in front and giving him ail and comfort, which everunow he recognizes and is reaching forth his hands to receive? what is it but hese and unprincipled taCtioll, the success of which would plunge ith authors and the loyal people alike, into one common rein? We are not pleading for any man or any party. We scorn to use the wordtpolitics in this connection. No one knows better than Mr. Lincoln how unimportant he is,' person ally, compared with the exalted principles and the vast interests he, in this contest, rep resents. It is not for him, therefore, that we speak, when we declare it our solemn conviction mut those who coolly, deliberately and intelli gently engage in this contest against him, are as truly enemies of their country and their race as if they were in arms behind the trenches of Petersburg and Atlanta. The end and aim of their plotting is the restoration of Pr - slavery supremacy on: this continent, and is Jeff Davis' anything else ? They are as guilty as the base plotters about the throne of Wil liam and Mary, who sought to reinstate the fu gitive James the Second, with his imbecility, his obstinacy, his tyranny and his Popery. upon the throne of iree and Protestant Eng land. Factions must be expected to appear in such times. It is no new thing in history The open, armed foes of a nation have always found allies, often more dangerous, always More dastardly thanthernselves within. Dark ties of sympathy unite the foes of order and of human rights everywhere; and, whenever wickedness becomes bold, detianEand mighty in one quarter, the instincts Orbad men in every other quarter will •assert themselves. The copperheads of the North have their his toric parallels in the Tories of the revolution, the jacobites of the 17th century in England, and in the nobles of Judah Who traitorously corresponded with Tobiah, while with difficulty the ruined walls of Jerusalem were being restored. - Therware al ways some, nominally associated with the good, who seem to covet the disgrace and in famy of furnishin: aid and comfort to the en emy of the righteous cause. They will fail. History has recorded their failure and their disgrace in the instances alluded to. She will record it again Our people are too in telligent, too familiar with the preciousness of the principles and interests at stake, too widely permeated with the ennobling spirit of Christianity, to become, to any large ex tent, the tools of the noisy, immoral and base faction that has just taken the field against the Administration. A TECHNICAL POINT DISPOSED OF BY THE PRESIDENT. —A young lady whoa had served in an Indiana regiment,: recently called on Pres ident Lincoln to gethis decision of a question affecting her back pay. She had been an in mate of a hospital, and five months' pay was due her, at the time =her sex !was. discovered; but upon application the paymaster declined to allow it, on the ground that there was nothing in the regulations that would permit him to pay a United, States soldier of the fe male sex. Hence her visit to Washingto and her call upon the President. - After pa tiently listening to her statement, the Presi dent, who was deeply interested, wrote a note to the Paymaster General, saying that, as she had faithfully served as a. soldier for two years, and received the pay as:Stich for the greater part of the time; he mild see no good reason why she was not entitled .to'the re mainder, and therefore Airected phyment of the balance; concluding' with the assurance that, it hereafter it would be found to be con trary to the regulations, lie himself would be responsible for the amount. The young lady retired, well pleased with her interview, and started for her home in,lndiana: the ;next day, having tally accomplished AIL . 6.hject vt her visit.
