A QUES'IOH
for those who vote lor tbe amendment of tbe
Constitation.giving the soldiers tbe right of
suffrage.
At the coming election, tbe question to a
tr.end tbe Constitution, so as to give all who
rur be absent from tbe State, engaged aa sol
diers in the armies of tbe National Govern
ment, tbe right to vote, will be submitted to
tbe people. It is conceded in all circles, that
ihe proposed amendment extending tbe right
of franchise to such persons, will te carried by
i3 almost unanimous vote. The question
irises, then, as to whether any man who voles
ur that amendment can als vote for George
W. Woodward, who is opposed to the right of
lufirage being extended to tbe soldier. Surely
so freeman can become guilty of such Belf-ab-negation
as first to vote the right of the fran
chise to the Soulier, and then vote for a man
wbo denies that soldier the exercise of such a
right. Eveiy man who votes for the amend
cent of tbe Constitution, extending the . fran
chise to the soldier, to be conscientious and
mncere in his patriotism, must also vote for
Andrew G. Curtin for Governor, who is em
phatically tbe soldiers guardian and defender.

to tue people of the county, on the subject of
t .i -jnestiouit involved in the coming elect iuu.
1 :v Convection now adjourned tine die.
A P:slotal Governor. Tbe disadvantages
ff raving a disloyal Governor are shown by
(Ke tact that Governor Seymour's refusal to
-'"re General Dix that the military lorce of
Si.tte would be employed to protect the
; ai'f ol New York, made it necessary to
ik ii the Army of the Potomac by detaching
rftiment to guard against anticipated riot.
A loyal Governor would have said at once,
-Not one Federal regiment is needed in this
city." General Dix states, that bud Gover
c,t Suymour given him this assurance he
"cu'.d not have asked th Government for one
iMn. Now, it any disaster should happen to
Lie array, who would be to blame 1 Fortun
1!!.r,the worst that can happen will be a
':ief suspension of the campaign.
BEAU IT IN MIND !
That at a meeting held in Independence
Square, Philadelphia, on the 13lh of Deoeui
'rr, 1?qo, George W. Woodward made use of
'he following language: 'We must arouse
f relves and assert the rights of the slavehol
der, and add such guarantees to our Constitu
tor, as win protect his property from the ipol
!j!:ud of religious bigotry and persecution, or
-!e k niust give op our Constitution and 17-tut-u.
Events are placing the alternative
J"inly beiore ns Constitutional Union and
i!!)erty, according to American law, or elso
eitioction of slave property, negro freedom,
''solution of the Uniou, and anarchy aud
contusion."
