The Two Conventions and the Soldiers
The National Union Convention, at Balti
more, resoli , ed "that the thanks of the Ameri
can people itie - duelo the soldiers and sailors
of the army and navy,. who have periled their
lives in defence of their country and in vindi
cation of the honor of the old flag ; that the
nation owes to,them some permanent recog
nition of 'their: 'patriotism and valor."
The National Copperhead Convention, at
Chicago, readved, in language framed by the
infamous traitor 7allandigham, "that the
sympathy off the Democratic party is heartily
and earnestly.rentorided to the soldiers of our
army, who, are and have been in the field -un
der the flag pi . Onr, country.
The one ,Ckm.vention, recognizing and ac
knowledging the heroic services of the pa
triotic men whb have periled life in defending
the Union zing overcoming its enemies, ad
dresses ttr therri the grateful thanks of the
great mass of loyal people • whom it repre
sented.
The other Convention, insolently stigmatiz
ing the war which these brave patriots haVe
fought in defence of the Union a "failure,"
offers them a condescending sympathy in their
"failurev--the sYMPithY Vallandighams
and Powells and:Eirrises and Seymours.
Which of these tenders, does any man sup
pose, is most acceptable to the soldiers and
the sailors of the'Union
Gruirt and Butler
A careful examination, on a good map, of
the position of the Army of the Potomac on
James River, will convince any Person capa
ble of understanding a military situation, that
it is one highly ]ndiantageous. We hold the
peninsula between the James and Appomat
tox Rivers, at Iterninda Hundred, elaborately
fortified, and mede impregnable. On the
right we have an
well
post north of the
James River, also fortified, and connected
with Bermuda Hundred by our fleet, which
rests in James River, over which, when re
quireka pontoon bridge can be thrown. On the
left, Bermuda Hundred is connected with the
position in front of Petersburg by a pontoon
bridge, which is fully protected by fortifica
tions on either shore and a portion of our
fleet. The base of our operations at City
Point, is just below the'junction of the Appo
mattox with the James. A railroad runs from
this point on the east side of the Appomattox,
up to Petersburg, and is employed in carry
ing supplies to our troops. Our lines about
Petersburg now envelop the city so far as to
include the Weldon or, Great Southern Rail
road. Now it will be seen at a glance that
Grant oan, without the knowledge of the ene
my, or leaving any part of his line insecure,
throw the main body , of his army either south
of Petersburg, or between Petersburg and
Richmond, or against Richmond, north of
the James. Out of this situation it is reason
able to expect the most important and favora
ble results will be obtained.
i The Minh Venues Monist District.
The Union men of the XIIIth Congressional
District have just met in : conferenee , and
unanimously nominated Hen'. Ulysses Mer
cur, of Bradford county, as the candidate for
Congress in that District. Mr. Mercur is the
President Judge of the Bradford District. Per
haps no man in-the Commonwealth enjoys a
fairer reputation; has more friends; of is Ais
tinguished for `larger :abilities,. than Judge
Mercer. He is knosm. ,as well for his
intellect as for his' iniekrity—a man who will
fearlessly represent the interests of a constit
uency, and boldly stiuid. ,up for the right in,
the face of any wrong; h'owever stupendous, by
which he may be confronted. Indeed, we
can write in honest candor of Judge Mercur,
what is so little applicable to so many men
in these days of Chicanery and 'fraud—Thai he
s a man who can be t rilied upon at all times and
in all places, ! Of course he will be elected by
a handsome majority.
THE Cleveland Herald neatly says that "see
ing the velocity with wig& the Chicago Cop
perhead train is rushing' to destruction, Mc-
Clellan, the cautious railroad man, keeps his
eye on the warning—' Don't stand on the
Platform.'"

'Within our lines, there are also a large num
ber of gallant men held as prisoners by the
rebels, who cannot exercise the electors fran
chise. For every vote thus lost, it becomes the
friends of the soldiers and the Government, to
secure a vote from among those who are halting
in their opinions in reference to the issues at
stake. There are many men who can be induc
ed by fair means and frank arguments if ap
pealed to personally, to vote , for the re-election
of Abrahan Lincoln, but who, if neglected
andleft to the influences of copperheadism,will
unwittingly allow their ballots ti •he attract: ;
ed where they have neither affectinti nrconfi-,
deuce. This element in the' POlitieal or
ganization of the opposition, can be wielded
to make up - for 'the loss of the votes of the
soldiers now in possession of the enemy. The
soldiers in the field and in the hospitals, to
whom facilities for voting will be afforded,
- need only be reminded that in voting for
the re-election of Abraham Lincoln, they cast
theirpolitical influence, as they now peril their
lives, for the defence and the preservation of
the Government. In one sense, they do more
than this. Every soldier who votes for a
Union candidate for State and national office,
casts hiS ballot for the perpetuation of the
very principle which guarantees to him the
exercise of the .election `franchise. The very
men who extended the privilege of the elec
tion franchise are those who now sustain the
Government; while the men who have orteux -
IZED opposition to the national authorities,
and who seek a change of Administration that
the prestige of rebellion may be revived and
the recognition of the Southern Confederacy
secured, are those who opposed the measure
providing for the constitutional legality of the
soldier's vote. Ilenee it is not possible,that
any true man wearing the uniform of his
country and serving beneath the banner of
freedom, can be so recreant to them and so
false to himself as to vote ;for, those who are
his, enemies as well as the'lbes of his country.
While the loyal tote at home will be ample to
decide the great political contests approach
ing in Pennsylvania, we • want the vote of
the soldier to add glory to the victory we in
tend to achieve.
The Forgeries of the Copperheads,
The satisfaction with which the nomina
tion of M'Clellan, and the platform erected
at Chicago, have been received at Richmond,
has disconcerted the managers of the north
ern wing of southern opposition to the Fede
ral rule. There is still a pulsation of patriot
ism left in the Democratic masses.. The vir
tue of the people, unlike the villainy of the
politician, is proof against treason. This
patriotism and virtue revolt at the idea of
being identified with men and measures
which meet the unqualified approval of the
traitors in ar{ns to destroy the National Union
and National Government. Hence, the cop
perhead organs in different sections of the',
loyal States are engaged in manufacturing ,
opinions and reviews of the candidates . and
platform put up at Chicago, puriorting, to
have appeared in the Southern rebelnewspa
pars, which are severely and even rancorously.
denunciatory of the “Democratic party.""
These forgeries have been resorted to, to coun
teract the mischief which rebel approval of
theltransactions at Chicago has worked for
M'Clellan and Pendleton. In the meantime,
or as soon as the managers of the northern
wing of traitors, can give their southern allies
the cue, the entire rebel press will ring with
denunciations of the proceedings of the Chi
cago Convention. The object of this swindle
is to silence the' pprehensions of many honest
men who still believe in the purity of Democ
racy, but who cannot reconcile the notion of
what Democracy ought to be, with what Dem
ocracy is, as it is presented to their view in
the columns of the rebel press. Such are the;
cheate.with which George B. M'Clellan is to
be carried into civil power.
WE fear that Gen. Grant does not have suf
ficient reepect for the wishes of the Demo
cratic party. At Chicago they resolved in
favor of '‘immediateCessation of hostilities."
But without paying the least attention to
this, he proceeds to Harper's Ferry, orders
Sheridan to pitch into Early and whip him.
The latter General having no more respect
for the wishes' of the Convention than his
superior, obeys orders, and straightway Early
is whipped. We are curious to know what
the Democracy will do with these two refrac
tory disturbers of their plan. Evidently
something ought to be done with them!
Wins James Buchanan was the Demooratic
candidate for the Preeidency, he was twitted
with former political heresies. His reply was,
•I am no longer. JAMES Buchanan—l am the
"Cincinnati platform." So when General Mc-
Clellan is reminded of his ' , present double
faced attitude his reply is, am no longer
'George B. McCleltan—l am the Chicago plat
form. •
GEN. M'CLELLAR says that "the preserve-,
tion of our Union was the sole avowed,object,
for , which the war , was commenced," The
General is mistaken. The dissolution "of our
Union was the sole object for Which the war
was commenced "--by the Southern half .of
the party that nominated McClellan for the
Presidency. For father particulars, address
James Buchanan., O. F. F., Wheatland, Pa:'
McCr.amt4ri may be the "cominginan," but
if he does not come faster ,than be went to
ward Richmond, he will find the White-House
occupiedly an older, a Wier, andan infinitely
better man, with a lease- of the premises,
signed by an overwhelming majority-of-the
people, for four years from the 4th of-March
next.

TIE EXCHANGE OF.PRISONERS
The Feeling in Hood's Army.
CuLTresoooe, Sept. 22.
'Gem Sherman, by special arrangements
with Gen. Hood, has effected the exchange of
3,000 prisoners. Of a batch of 900 rebels, 17
refused to be exchanged and took the oath of
allegiance. Of a hundred picked men of the
rebels at Rough and Ready, twenty-one de
serted. This is a fair index of the feeling in
Hood's army." '
The truce between Sherman and Hood ex
