The Patriot and Union of Friday evening
defends our most abused Congressman from
this District, in a long article, and vouches
for hilt loyalty and friendship for the soldier
in the tented field in glowing language. With
out extending this article unnecessarily, we
will examine our distinguished Congress
man's record, and then lot the voters of this
District judge for themselves.
GREEN CLAY SMITH'S RESOLUTION
On the 17th of December, 11* Mi. SMITH
of Kentucky, offered the following resolution,
Resolved, That we hold it tote the duty of
Congress to pass all necessary bills to supply
men and money, and the duty of the people
to render every aid in their power to the con
stituted authorities of the Government in the
crushing out of the rebellion, and in bringing
the leaders therof to condign punishment.
On the adoption of the resolution 90 Union ,
men and 4 Democrats voted for the same,
and 65 copperheads voted against it, and
among those 65 stands the name of William
H. Miller, from this District.
On the same day another resolution was
offered by Mr. SMITH, as follows:
Resolved, That our thanks are tendered to
our soldiers in the field for their gallantry in
defending and upholding the flag of the Union,
and defending the great principles dear to
every American patriot.
The same 00 Union men and 4 Democrats vo
ted for this resoluti To, and the same 65 copper
heads voted. against it. William H. Mil
ler stands among them; and yet this Same
man asks the soldiers to vote for him. .LET
TRIM REMEMBER THIS !
TEE COPPERHEADS VOTE THAT IT IS NOT THE
DUTY OF THE PEOPLE TO FIGHT DOWN' AND
DESTROY THIS ACCURSED REBELLION.
1864—January 18, Mr. Smith offered the
following resolution : •
Whereas, A most desperate, and wicked
and bloody rebellion exists within the juris
diction of the United States, and the safety and
security of personal and national liberty de
pend upon its absolute and utter extinction;
therefore,
Resolved, That it is the political, civil, moral,
and sacred duty of the people to meet it, fight
it, math it, and forever destroy it, thereby
establishing perfect and unalterable liberty.
This preamble and resoluiton was adopted
by 112 men voting for it. Among the yeas
were 87 Union men and 25 Democrats. Nays
16 Democrats, and among the nays appears
the name of William 13. Miller.
COWARDLY PEACE PROPOSITIONS.
The Copperheads vote to appoint three com
missioners to treat with Jeff Davis for peace,
and thus acknowledge his bogus confederacy
that has waged a desolating, cruel, and causil
less war, and destroyed the lives of untold
thousands of our noble soldiers.
1863—Dec. 14, Mr. Fernando Wood, of
New York offered the following resolution :
Whereas, The President in his message de
livered to the House on the 9th instant, and
in his recommendation to the people to assem
ble at their places of worship and give thanks
to God for recent victories claims that the
Union cause has gained important and sub
stantial advantages; And whereas, In view of
*these triumphs, it is no longer beneath our
dignity, nor dangerous to our safety, to evince
a generous magnanimity becoming a great
and powerful people by offering to the insur
gents an opportunity to return to the Union
without imposing on them degrading or de
structive conditions; therefore, .
Resolved, That the President is recp!iested
to appoint three commissioners, who shall be
empowered to open ne: - .. ;otiations with the au
thorities at Richmond, to the end that this
bloody, destructive and inhuman war shall
cease, and the Union be restored on terms of
equity, fraternity and equality under the Con
stitution,
Mr. Elihu B. Washburn, of Illinois, moved
that it be laid on the table, which was agreed
to—yeas 98, nays 59.
Wm H. Miller voted against laying
this resolution on the table.
1861—February 29, Mr ALEXANDER LONG,
of Ohio, submitted the following resolution:
• NEGOTIATIONS "WITH TRAITORS IN ARMS.
Be resolved, Thal the President be, and
he is hereby, most earnestly but respeetfully,
requested to appoint Franklin Pierce, of New
Hampshire,, Millard Fillmore, of New York,
Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, and such other per
sons as the President may see proper to se
lect, as Commissioners on behalf •of the United
States, who shall be empowered to meet a
commission of like number when appointed
for the same object on behalf of the Confed
erate States, at such time .and place as may be
agreed upon, for the purpose of ascertaining,
before the renewal of hostilities shall have
again commenced. whether the war shall not
now cease, and the Union be restored by the
return of all the States to their allegiance and
their rights under the Constitution.
Which was rejected—yeas 22, nays 96.
William H. Aliller voted for this
resolution.
DEGRADING PROPOSITION OF MR. LE BLOND.
The Copperheads voted that there should be
no draft of new troops to fill up the broken
ranks of our tioble•soldiers in the field, until
the President has degraded the country by
"an armalOpe," and appointing commissioners
to negotiate peace with the bloody-handed
rebels in arms against the. Government,
thereby acknowledging the bogus confederacy
of Jell. Davis. Soldiers in the field, the Cop
perhead candidate for - Vice President, GEO.
H. PENDLETON, thus voted your ranks
should not be filled, except upon conditions
that would crimson with shame the cheek of
every loyal man in the country..
1864, June 20, on the final passage of the
Enrollment Bill, Mr. Lee Blond, of Ohio,
offered this proviso : -
Picrvided, That 'no levy of troo•pf shall be
made under thee-provisions • of Ihis^-apt„ ex
cept by volunt: siring, till such time iria The
President of the. United States shall havOmitde
a request for an armistice ;.:and slildl have
made such efforts as are consistent With hozior
to restore harmony among the States,'by the
appoint/ nut 9f Milittililimueri empowered to
negotiate for peace upon the terms of a resto
ration of the Union under the Constitution,
and until such offer shall have been rejected
by the so-called Confederate Government.
Which was rejected—yeas 13, nays 91.
William H. Miller had just stepped
out and dodged this vote.
COPPERHEADS DON'T WANT THE SOLDIERS AND
SAILORRS TO NAVE HOMESTEADS PROM LANDS
CONFISCATED IN THE INSIIRRECTIONARYSTATES.
1864—May 12.—The House passed a bill to
secure to persons in military or naval service
in the United States, homesteads from con
fiscated States. in insurrectionary districts.
Yeas 76, nays 65.
The same 65 copperheads voted against
giving the soldier a homestead, and Wils
Ham H. Miller voted nay.
coppyrsamt OS DON'T PAT THE COLORED ALAN WHO
IS RISKING HIS LIFE TO SUSTAIN AND, ITPHOLD
OUR GOD-GIVEN GOVERNMENT.
1863— DEC. 21.--During the consideration
of the Deficiency Bill,
Mr. Aaron Harding, of Kentucky, offered
this proviso:
"Provided, That no part of the money
aforesaid shall be applied to the raising, arm
ing, equipping or paying of negro soldiers."
Which was rejected. Yeas, 41; nays, 105.
William H. Miller voted against pay
ing these men who.are now risking their lives
to keep white men out of the draft.
If our friends over the way want :any more
proof of the loyalty of William H.
Mil
ler, and the ardent support he has rendered
in Congress. to the Union, we can easily con
tinue his rtcord, as it is contained in the Con
gresslonal Globe.
An Appeal for Peace
A committee of peace sneaks, composed of
such men as Josiah Randall, James Campbell,
(the ex-Judge who was defeated by over
60,000 votes as a candidate . , ?or Supreme
Judge,) C. Ingersoll, (the son of a man who
declared that had he lived in the days of the
Revolution, he would have been a tory,)`J. C.
Van Dyke, (a, miserably obscure lawyer of the
Philadelphia bar,) mid one M. C. trans, have
issued an address, which is being circulated,
appealing to the people . of Pennsylvania to
make an effort to secure peace on any terms.
These leaders of Democracy propose to' pay
the rebel war debt, secure the right of slavery,
(which means of course the opening of the slave
trade,) and place all the revolted States in
the same position in a re-,adjusted that they
occupied in the old Union. The traitor-offi
cers of the army and navy to be restored to
their old rank. The Judges' and othei Civil
officers who resigned at the precipitaticin . of
rebellion, to be put back in their old places,
and the history of the rebellion to be written
as an honorable chapter in the career of the
whole country. One of these infamous &ca
n:tents fell into the hands of--the editor of the
Lawrence Journal, (heretofore - a DemeOratie
organ, which opposed Lincoln. in 4860, but
which now supports his re-eleetion.) The
Journal publishes this appeal with this tom
ment:
God forbid that we should ever assist in
prostrating the best form of Government on
the face of the earth. We are a Democrat—
we cannot be anything else; but, the old Jack
sonian Doi.nota..y to .. 13 1.t uct "to ouppvil, uur
country right .or wrong," and as, the Adminis
tration is right in suppressing this,wicked re
bellion, we shall most assuredlyi.suppOrt that
Government and Admirdstratio„w • • . •
—The leaders of the peace wit. of the cop
perhead faction, should be more careful in
the circulation of their doCuments, and see,
hereafter, that indepenpent war Democrats
do not: get the evidence of their shame and
treason.
Deserters and Soldiers at the polls,
.
We understand that arrangements have
been made, in this and other military districts,
to place a guard near every election poll, for
the purpose of arresting all deserters as they
approach to vote. It: is known that ,by the
influence and the persuasion of the copper
head organs and leaders, the, larger portion Of
all desertions have been induced, and , that
the object in view was to vote these misguided
men in districts -where - their ballots would
affect the success of loyal candidates. With
the political bearing of this infamous arrange
ment, the officers controlling the different
posts in 'this and other States, are not of
course influenced in their proposed action,
hover they may take advantage of thectricks
of copperhead politicians, to do theii di t ty to
the army and the Government. • The cop
-heads will find, when they apprOach the
polls to vote deserters, that "some people
know as much as others," and that hOwever
discreetly plans may be laid to cheat Uncle
Samuel, Uncle has servants and friends who
are always on the alert for his interests.
Hence, the day of the election will doubt
less prove an occasion of great hauls .of
serters. ; •
The Huntingdon Masse. Meeting.
We learn from a private oorrespondeirt,that
an immense meeting was held at Huntingdon,
on 'Friday evening last, at which John jScott,
an old line Democrat, and an opponent;of Mr.
Lincoln inlB6o, praided, making, a pOwerful
speech againsf the Sympathy which - the Demo- .
cratic leader's of the North have been extend
ing to the slave-holding rebels. John - Cessna,
and • Gen. Carey delivered = characteristic
speeches. The meeting was distinguished as
being one of the most_ respectable and enthu
siastic ever been in Huntingdon:
IF any man hauls down the American flag
McClellan is for " eihausting the resources of
statesmanship" to make him haul it up' again.
That is the siniple difference between George
D. McClellan and John A. Dix. John `A. Dix
ordered the immediate shooting of any man
.who hauled down the stars and stripes. Mc-
Clellan, on the contrary, is in favor of anoint
ing with "Democratic persuasion" and "peace
adulation," all'wbo become guilty of such "a
•
mistake." •
G. Gomm ha-vine:leen asked if the sol
diers would, vote for Gen., M'Ciellan. on the
Chicago Platform, replied: ‘ ,. .neu, ! thi3 army
is ready to ask Jeff. Davis' pardon for having
fought him; when it . forgets Wadsworth-arid

ST. Louis, Oct. 1.
Nothing definite, has been heard from Gene
ral Ewing • to-day . , At the la,st accounts, he
was behind some breastwork's built by a party
of militia that had previously occupied the
town, and it was thought, unless the enemy
greatly outnumbered him, he could drive
them off.
The railroad communication is cut on both
sides of him.
,
There Was
.great alarm at -Franldinn last
night, and' heav firing was heard iii he di
rection of Moselle, twelve miles below.--
After the firing ceased, a great light•was seen
indicating that the bridge at that point, over
the Mineral river, had been burned.
There was but a small guard there, and all the
rolling stock of. the Pacific Railroad at Frank
lin has been brought down to Allentown last
night. • The stock en the •Solithwest Branch
road is a- good deal .scattered. It is believed
that a' considerable 'force of rebel cavalry has
been seen in the vicinity: No trouble has oc
curred on the Pacifio Railroad, bet fears are
entertained that the rebels will attempt to de
stroy the Osage and Gasconade bridge.
General Brown, commanding the distriot of
Central Miseouri, has • withdrawn his forces
from Warrensburg: ,Sedalia, Booneville, and
other points, and has concentrated them at
Jefferson 'City,' where the troops and citizens
are hard ativork on: the fortifications
Kirby smith is spoken of by some Eastern
papers as commanding the rebels in this State.
He is not.in Missouri, but it was reported
some days ago that he would probably join
Price. .
It is stated on military authority,. that a
messenger arrived frOM General Mower to-day,
and that one was sent to him in return,l bul
nothing more can be ascertained from head•
quarters.

party of rebels fired De Soto., last night, and
partially destroyed the town.., :
. Two men entered Danville on the. North
Missouri railroad on Thursday, and were iden
tified as belonging to Anderson's guerrillas,
and were immediately hung. The train that
went,up that road to-day turned back from
Martinsburg in consequence of a band of guer
rillas lying in wait for it at the station above.
The secessionists along this route are said to
be selling their, property, and taking in the

The Rebels Rob the Stores at Pilot Knob
THE EXPENT OF PRICE'S FORCES
ST. Loom, Oct. 2.
The train from Franklin to-day reports all
quiet there.
The rebels, it is. - reported, have destroyed
the bridges, and burned all the railroad pro
perty for twenty miles below Franklin.
The prisoners who were captured, about
sixteen miles from Franklin, learned that
Price was about two miles beyond with 7,000.
All quiet on Iron mountain as far as Hills
boro', where the rebels are reported to be
working the lead mines.
Fredericktown is still occupied by the
rebels, but not in large force.
Gen. Ewing's defence of Pilot Knob is de
scribed by an eye witness, as being one of
the finest of the war. .His retreat is also said
to have been most gallantly conducted. His
men had not sleep for four nights and nothing
to eat, except what they could pick up on the
way, and they fought the enemy constantly.
Nothing has been heard from them since
their arrival at Harrison station, but it is be
lieved they had. reached Rolla.
The depots at Washington and South Point,
fifteen or eighteen miles West of Franklin, on
the Pacific road, are reported to have been
burned.
The iron works at Pilot Knob have suffered
to the extent of between $2O 000 and 25,000,
and the stores in the town robbed of from
$50,000 to $60,000 worth of goods.
A gentleman who left Pilot Knob on. Friday
night reports that Price has from twenty to
twenty-five thousand veterans, independent
of from three thousand to four thousand re
cruits recently obtained.

WBEST. CHANCE to get Cheap Homes
OW OFFERED IN THE CITY. —The subscriber offers
for sale 72 Building Lots, situate in the Sixth Ward,
between Reilly and Colder streets, fronting en Susque
hanna, Two-and-a half and Second streets. Most of them
have valuable pear and apple trees on them, bearing the
choicest fruits, selected by Col. John Roberts thirty years
ago, the fruit of which will pay for the ground in a
short time. There is also on a portion of the ground a
sand bank, above the grade of the streets, containing sand
of the best quality, which will more than pay for the
ground. The location is such that no drainage is ra

lots will be sold below the current price ground is new

opportunity for any person to secure a home.
