NOTICE TO PROTHONOTARIES
The different Prothonotaries to whom scat
tering returns of votes have been made, should
return the same to the proper counties, where
tfie persons voted for are candidates, as they
will aid thereby in arriving at results which
are now in doubt. A failure on the 'part of a
Prothonotary to attend strictly to this part of
his duty, may not only contribute to the for
mal defeat of candidate's who are really elected,
but it may involve the ProthonotarieH them-
selves, on account of such violation of. duty,
in serious trouble
*hat Salmon P. Chase Thinks of Major',
EMI
In the coarse of one of the great speeches
delivered by the great American financier, he
uttered words which should be• kept in re
membrance by every loyal man until the No
vember election has been fought to a glorious
victory. He insisted that mere majorities
will not suffice. Large majorities will hardly
be enough. We want and must have majori
ties so overwhelming and decisive as will ex
tinguish every hope in the hearts of the chiefs
of the rebellion,. and in the hearts of foreign
and domestic sympathizers with rebellion,
ti r mt the American people will ever consent to
the dismemberment of the American Union,
or to the re-establishment of the ascendancy
of the slaveholding oligarchy in the land of
freedom.
Isquisurvx.—Why don't the Democratic
party call forth their heavy artillery and plant
it on their ramparts, in the place of the Qua
ker guns they are using? Where is Pendle
ton—why don't he go to the people of the
State of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
New York in behalf of the issues that divide
him from the Union men of the country ?
Why don't Vallandigham appear upon the
walls of the Democratic citadel, to expound
the faith? Where is George W. Woodward,
Jerry Black, Frank Hughes, and James Bu
chanan, that their voices are not heard ? When
will Millard Fillmore again address the peo
ple ? Where is McClellan? Why don't he take
to,the platform and fire off his gun even if it is
a wooden piece ? Where are all these great
apostles of Democracy? We pause for a re-
Ply.
A Cumous Pinworm QUESTION.—By an act
of the Babel Congress, it seems Davis' Secre
tary of War is allowed to purchase United
States currency. It is a penal offence, at the
same time, however, to be found selling green
backs within the Confederacy. The question,
then, naturally arises*. where does the rebel
Secretary of War go to market when he makes
his little investments? Does he draw on Chi
cago, or on Canada.
Ku. Gs HEINEZEIZIAN, described in a
Wheeling, Va., paper, as "a quick-spoken,
silver-haired, handsome, earnest-looking man,
about fifty-five years of age," followed Senator
Willey at a Union meeting in Wheeling on the
6th, in a speech in which he said: "1 can see
but two issues in this contest—an honorable
peace accomplished by a vigorous war, or an
armistice, a convention of States, and a final
dissolution of the Union and eternal war."
A "SPEarannt Barcx."—The 11. S. Christian
Commission have' received from Nevada a sil
ver and gold brick, worth $2,900 in currency,
as a contribution to the cause. It is as much
as a man could conveniently lift, and no man
could carry such a brick in his hat without
losing his balance or his hat. We believe it
is one of several bricks of the kind the Com
mission has or is to receive.
SHOBTENINGTHE ROUTE.—The Directors of
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad propose to
make a new survey of a route from Tyrol* to
near Blairsville, by which the great tunnel on
the mountain will be avoided, and several
miles saved in the distance between the points
named. The reason for this movement is
said to be an apprehension that the tunnel
may cave in.
MAst Union votes were lost at the late eke_
tion for want of thorough assessments. Let
no vote be lost in that way at .the next and
anal strpggle. See that every awn is assessed
without delay ? and especially see that all the
soldiers are assessed. Don't ask how they
will vote—let them all have the chance.
Tam is Stepan A. Douglas' estimate of Abra
ham Lincoln : •
"He is a fearless, honest man, and the coon
try will be safe in his hands."
This is what Mr. Douglas said to Genera
Steadman at Detroit fin the autumn of 1860
just before Mr. Lincoln was elected.
"Tars is a nigger war!" is the inscription
seen upon mw.ti• of the banners carried at the
copperhead meetings. We begin to think so
BillCe the rebels are about to free 250,000 of
their slant and arm the against the Federal
Union.
How fortunate for us, said the Richmond
Whig, "that he (McClellan) was chosen
chief of the Yankee army." That was when
the ,'war was "a failure.," Since the rebel
ood fortune in the command of our f orces
ceased, the tide has turned.
Can the Life of the Government be Pro.
longed
The aristocrats of the old world have been
arguing for more than half a century, that the
Republic .of the West would prove a failure.
Indeed, some of the Governments of Europe,
prompt at first to recognize the independence of
the colonies., were impelled the;.eto by the hope,
not that man would establish his ability for self -
government, but that the scheme would fail, and
thus vindicate the assumption that the many were
born to be ruled by the self-anointed few, and
that God had ordained the great mass of his
children to exist beneath the heels of a titled class.
The ideas of freedom and the practices of a
Republican form of government, never had
friends or recognition in, Europe; except it
was those struggling heroes who have ever
waged a conflict with king-craft. The rulers
of Europe are in reality the enemies of free
America. It is their interest to be so, be
cause every year that is added to the life of
the great Republic, is a rebuke to, is
an argument 'and a God-like protest
against the aristocratic domination in the
old world. Hence, when the aristocrat's of
the Southern States armed and took the field
to destroy the Government, every throne in
Europe was moved with pulsations of sympa
thy for the slave-holders. England, that had
lost millions of subjects and almost a hemi
sphere of territory, by the war of the colo
nies for independence, was the first to hold
out the right hand of fellowship to the insur
gent American's. John Bull hoped, if the
aristocrats of the South succeeded in breaking
up the Union and destroying free government
on this side of the Atlantic—John Bull imag
ined that he could, at least chain a portion of
the old and the immortal Thirteen to his throne
once more. Other tyrants in Europe were im
bued with the same hope. All expected to come
in for a share of territorial aggrandizement, as
the- glorious galaxy of the stars on our ban
ner were flung abroad in confusion, and hs
State after State became defenceless in
the isolation of disunion. This was the
hope and this is still the plan of the
rebellion of the slave-holding aristo
crats. The whole scheme of rebellion
hinges on this issue. The South took
up arms to vindicate the aristocracy of
slavery. * Europe extended its sympathy to
the South, in the hope of securing the terri
torial aggrandizement of its , rulers. Every
ruling family in Europe wants thrones for their
scions. Every slaveholder in the South yearns
for titles for himself and family. The ruling
families of the old world have long looked for
thrones in the prosperous states of America,
on which to seat their members. The aris
tocrats of the South, and their allies in the
North, like the bastard Jew Belmont, have
been looking to Europe for titles of nobility.
This makes the interests of the aristocrats on
both sides of the Atlantic the same. They
both look to the destruction of the American
Union for the realization of their hopes.
They both have joined hands in a bloody war
on freedom, to destroy the American Govern
ment. This is the real issue of the contest,
alike on the battle field and at the ballot
box. Can the life of the Government be
preserved? If we succeed in crushing re
bellion; of course the Government will con
tinue to live and flourish in glory and pros
perity. If we re-elect Abraham Lincoln,
there is no doubt about the crushing out of re
bellion. The triumph of Lincoln is the vie,.
tory of the Union—the success of the Govern
ment: Nothing could be plainer. A vote is
as effectual in preserving the Government as a
bullet. If the true Democracy succeed—if the
Democracy of the ballot, which supports the
Democracy of the bullet, wins a victory by the
re-election of Abraham Lincoln, the Govern
ment be:onies a fixed fact—it becomes an idea
of power, of strength, majesty and freedom,
that will last until God, and not man, orders
its overthrow.
Poor men of the Union! You that have
neither broad acres or stately tenements to
bequeath to your children—you that have
only a Government to bestow—it is for you
to decide whether that Government shall live
—whether your children and their posterity
shall remain freemen, or whether * they shall
become the slaves of an aristocracy similar
to that which now rules in Europe, and
that which tyrannizes in the slave States.
As certain as the slave-holders' rebellion suc
ceeds, so sure will every laboring man in the
land become a slave. This may net follow'
immediately, but is bound to be realized
speedily as one of the logical events of the
success of rebellion. Then of course the
poor man would have no government, andl•
his children would become the slaves of
the rich—of• an aristocracy similar in pride
and arrogance to tilat which rules in Eu
rope. There will be no voting after the oleo=
tion of George B. M'Clellan. His triumph
will put an end to the .rule of majorities.--
His success will be the overthrown of the rule of
r ight, because it will vindicate the wrong as it
is contained in slavery.. His victory will be
the destruction of the Government, because
thereby secession and disunion will be recog
nized 'and benefated, therein confessing that the
Union was a cheat, the Government a lie, and
freedom a hallucination by which a people were
hired to their tomb of eternal disgrace and
slavery. Pocm 3rs-s! this picture is for your
contemplation ! •
A STORY that Gon. Hookor has been left im

The Soldiers' Vote.
7o the Friends of "Lincoln and Johnm,"
Pennsylvania
It. is of the utmost importance to get a flail
vote of our g allant soldiers in the army for
our county tickets at the November election.
The requisite machinery for carrying en
that election will be furnished by the State
government. The work of finding out who
are enabled to vote, and of attending to tl.o
the necessary work of enabling them to vote,
devolves upon you.
It is necessary that every soldier, from every
county, now in the army (except those re
cently enlisted) should be assessed ct home
and the nominal tax of ten cents paid for
each, to enable him to Tote.
On payment of the tax the collector must
give a receipt in the name of the soldier. If
you can, get duplicate receipts, and send one
to the soldier by letter,
.and request him, if
he votes by proxy, to enclose his receipt in
the envelope with his proxy.
Tickets should be sent to the field by the
commissioners appointed by the Governor,
and by letter direct to the soldiers, wherever
they are.
In order to secure a full assessment, it will
be necessary for our friends in each district
to make a thorough and immediate canvass
of their respective districts, in order to find
out the names of evePy soldier therein who is
entitled to vote, and have them assessed.
We counsel our friends to attend to this at
once.
The method of assessment is pointed out
in Section 40 of the act recently passed, viz :
SEc. 40. It shall be the duty of every As
sessor within this Commonwealth, annually,
to assess and return, in the manner now re
quired by law, a county tax of ten cents upon
each and every non-commissioned officer and
private, and the usual taxes upon every com
missioned officer, known by them to be in '
the military service of the United States or of
this State, in the army, and when any
omission shall occur, the omitted name shall
be added by such Assessors to the assessments
and lists of voters, on the application of any
citizen of the election district or precinct
wherein such soldier might, or would, have a
right to vote, if not in euch service as afore
said; and such non-commissioned officers and
privates shall be exempt from all 'other per
sonal taxes during their coptimuance in such
service; and said Assessors Ra', in each and
every case of such assessed soldiers or officers,
without fee or reward therefor, give a certificate
of such regular additional assessment to any
citizen of the election district or precinct who
may at any time demand the same; and upon
the presentation thereof to the Tax Collector
of said district, or the Treasurer of the said
county, it shall be the duty of such officer to
pay the same for the soldier or officer therein
named, and to endorse upon such certificate
a receipt therefor; and it shall also be the
duty of said Collector or County Treasurer to
receive assessed tax from any person who may
offer to pay the same for any of said officers or
soldiers without requiring a certificate of as
sessment, when the name of such person shall
have been duly entered upon the assessment
books and tax duplicates; and give a receipt
therfor to such person, specially stating there
in the name of the soldier or officer whose
tax is thus paid, the year for which it was as
sessed, and the date of the payment thereof;
which said certificate and receipt, or receipt
only, shall be printa facia evidence to tiny
election or Board provided for by this Act,
before which the same may be offered, of the
due assessment of the said tax against, and
the payment thereof by the soldier or officer
therein named, offering the same as aforesaid;
but said Election Board shall not be thereby
precluded from requiring other proof of the
right to vote, as specified by this Act or the
Gl-anored ElentiCE Laws of cammonwealth;
and if any of said Assessors, Collectors or
Treasurers shall neglect or refuse to comply
with the provisions of this Section, or to per
form any of the duties therein•enjoined upon
them, or either of them, he or they so offend
ing shall be considered and adjudged guilty
of a misdemeanor in office, and shall, on con
viction, be fined in any sum not less than
twenty nor more than two hundred dollars:
Fronde, That the additional assessments re
quired to be made by the above Section in the
City of Philadelphia shall be made on appli
cation of any citizen of the election district or
precinct thereof, upon oath or affirmation of
such citizen, to be administered by the As
sessor, that such absent soldier is a citizen
of the election district or precinct wherein
such assessment is required by such citizen
to be made.
If any Assessor refuses to perform his duty,
apply to him the penalties herein pointed
out.'
There is a class of soldiers who are away
from their companies and regiments, on de
tached duty, in the Veteran Reserve Corps,
&c., and the election law provides that wher
ever there is a less number than ten soldiers at any
one place, they may send a proxy to any friend
at home to vote for them. The mode is
pointed out by law:
SEC. 32. When any of the electors men
tioned in the first, section of this Act, less
than ten in number, shall be members of
companies of another State or Territory, or,
for any sufficient and legal cause, shall be
separated from their proper company, or shall
be in any hospital, navy yard, vessel, or on
recruiting, provost, or other duty, whether
within or without this State, under such cir
cumstances as shall render it probable that he
or they will be unable to rejoin their 'proper
company, or to be present at his proper place
of election, on or before the day of elections
therein mentioned, said elector or electors shall
have a right to vote in the following manner:
SEC. 83. The voter aforesaid is hereby, au
thorized, before the day if election, to, de
posit his ballot, or ballots, properly folded; as
required by the general election laws of this
State, or otherwise, as the voter may choose,
in a sealed envelope, together with a written
or printed, or partly written or partly printed
statement, containing the name of the voter,
the county, township, borough or ward, of
which he is a resident, and a written or
printed authority to some qualified voter in
the election district of which said voter is a
resident, to cast the ballots contained in said
envelope for him on the day of said election.
Said statement and authority 'to be signed by
the said voter, and attested by the command
ing or some commissioned officer of the com
pany of which he is a member, in the case of
a private, and of some commissioned officer
of the regiment in the case of an officer, if
any such officers are conveniently accessible,
and if otherwise, then by some other witness;
and there shall also accompany said ballots
an affidavit of said voter taken before some
one of the officers aforesaid, and in the ab
sence of such officers, before some other per
son duly authorized to administer oaths, by
any law of this State, that he is a qualified
voter in the election district in which he pro
poses to vote, that he is in the actual military
service of tbe United States, or of this State,
describing the organization to.which he be
longs, that he has not sent his ballots to any
other person or persons than the one in such
authority mentioned, that he will not offer to
to vote at any poll, which may be opened on
such election day, at- any place whatsoever,
and that he, is not a deserter,. and has not
been dishonorably dismissed frem the service,
and that-he is now stationed at in the
State of . Said sealed' envelope, con
,;taininglhe ballots, statement, authority and
affidavit es - aforesaid, to be sent to the proper
person, by mail or otherwise, having written
or printed on the outside, across the sealed
part thereof, the' words "soldier's ballot for
- township, (borough or ward) in the
county of-.
Sac. 34. The elector to whom such ballot
shall be sent shall, on the day of election and
whilst the polls of the properidistriot exe open,
deliver the envelope so received, unopened,
to the proper election officer, who shall open
the same in the presence of the election
board, and deposit the ballots therein con
tained, together with the envelopes and ac
companying papers, as other ballots are de
•posited, and said board shall count and can
vass the same in the same manner as other
votes are cast at said election; and the person
delivering the same may, on the demand of
any elector, be compelled to testify on oath,
that the envelope so delivered by him is in
the same state as when received by him, and
that the same has not been opened orthe con
tents thereof changed or altered in any way
by him.
These proxies must be here Wore the Bth
day of November, so that whatever is done to
secure them must be done now.
Let our friends in each district, in their
canvass for this purpose, ascertain the names
and address of all who are so detached, that
they cannot vote with their brethren in the
army, and send blank proxies to them, with
tickets, so that the blanks may be filled and
returned in time for the November election.
Blank proxies can be had on application to
the Secretary of the Committee.
We call upon our friends throughout the
State to take this matter in hand at once, and
push it vigorously to completion.
Having secured to the soldier the right to
vote, let us see to it that he has every possi
sible opportunity of exercising that right at
the November election.

WASHSNOTON, Oct. 21.
The following proclamation was promul
gated this afternoon:
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA.
A PROCLAMATION.
It has pleased Almighty God to prolong our
national life another year.
Defending us with His guardian care against
unfriendly designs- from abroad, and vouch
safing us, in his mercy, many and signal vic
tories over the enemy, (who is of our house
hold, ) it has also pleased our Heavenly Fa
ther to favor as well our citizens in their
homes as our soldiers in their camps and our
sailors on the rivers and seas with unusual
health.
He has largely augmented our free popula
tion by emancipation and by immigration,
while he has opened to us new resources of
wealth, and has crowned the labor of the
workingman in every department of industry
with abundant reward.
Moreover, He has been pleased to animate
and inspire our minds and hearts with forti
tude, courage and resolution sufficient for the
great trial of civil war into which we have
been brought by our adherence as a nation to
the cause of freedom and humanity, and to
afford to us reasonable hopes of an ultimate
and happy deliverance from all our dangers
and afflictions.
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, Presi
dent of the United States, do hereby appoint
and set apart the last Thursday in November
next, as a day which I desire to be observed
by all my fellow citizens, wherever they may
then be, as a day of thanksgiving and praise
to Almighty God, the beneficent creator and
ruler of the universe.'
And I do further recommend to my 'fellow
citizens aforesaid, that on that occasion they
do reverently humble themselves in the dust,
and from thence offer up penitent and fervent
prayers and supplications to the great disposer
of events, for a return of the inestimable bless
ings of peace, Union and harmony, through
out the land which it has pleased him to as
sign as a dwelling place for ourselves and our
posterity throughout ail generations.
In testimony wherbof, I have hereunto set
my hand, and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this - 20th

IMMENSE UNION DEMONSTRATION,
Grand . Torchlight Procession.
A SPEECH BY THE PRESIDENT.
The torch-light procession here, to-night,
by the Union men, was a great success. No
thing like it has ever been seen in Washing
ton. - All the Union clubs were well repre
sented. But this was only a nucleus. Im
mense numbers of the citizens participated.
There were men carrying torches in the pa
rade who were not supposed to have any in
terest in the Union cause. It was really the
grandest demonstration ever witnesssed in
Washington.
The procession started from the Patent
Office, and the square was completely filled.
The parade went to the White House and
called upon President Lincoln for a speech.
The President spoke as follows:
"Farrow-CrriziNs: I was promised not to
be called upon for a speech to-night, nor do I
propose to make one, but we haVe been having
some very good news for
. a day or two, so I
propose that you give three cheers for Sheri
dan. While we are at it we may as well con
sider' how fortunate it was for the secesh that
Sheridan was a little man. If he had been a
large man there is no knowing what he would
have done with them. I propose three cheers
for General Grant, who knew to what use to
put General Sheridan; three cheers for all our
noble commanders, and the soldiers and sail
ore ; three cheers for all the people, everywhere,
who cheer the soldiers and sailors of the
Union. And now good-night."
The procession now passed through Penn
sylvania Avenue, and was one hour and fifteen
minutes in passing one point. The 'Navy
Yard Club had two six pounders with them,
which they fired every few minutes.
CHEERING NEWS FROM GENERAL CURTIS

The Guerrillas Joining Price
His Force About 30,000
Sr. LOUIS, Oct. 20.
A correspondent at Jefferson City, writing
under date of the 13th, says:
"Everything looks much more favorable.to
night. The news from General Curtis is most
cheering. General Rosecrans took the field
to-day, and to night is many miles from here.
"Price has declared an amnesty to all de
serters from his army who have been bush
wacking, and they are joining him. Bill An
derson will join him in a few days. Quantrell
has been promoted to a brigadier generalship,
and Jackman is to have charge of a division.
Holtzelard is also to report to Price. This
clearly shows that the guerrilla leaders of this
State are commissioned officers of the regu
lar Confederate service.
Lieutenant Colonel Hynes, of the 17th Il
linois Veteran Cavalry, who was captured at
Glasgow and paroled, expresses the opin
ion that the rebels cannot fight mounted, and
that our infantry is more than a match for
them. He'also says that Price has 30,000
men.

thinking it practicable to hold the State, and
