A EE00ED OF PACTS.
Who Are the Friench of the Soldiera !
On the fir. t day of April, 1864, the follow
ing bill i atne up for consMeratiou in the
House of Repreentatives, (we copy from
the Legislative Record, 1SG4, page 524.) It
was read as follows :
SECTION 1. Resolcedbu tlte Senate and
Home of Rpprexe.ii tat lets of the Common
wealth of l'en)txyhtinia in General Assem
bly met, -That our feetiators in Con:rcs are
hereby instructed, arid our .Representatives
requested to urge tho immediate passage of
a law allowing to every priva e and non
commissioned olSeer uow in, or that may
hereafter be eaded into the military service
of the United States, an increase of pay du
ring the present war, and that the Goverr or
forward to of our S ja itors aul llep
sentatives a copy of this resolution.
After the reading of this bill it became
evident that the Copperhead members of
that body were determined to make the bill
ridiculous. A numher of unreasonable a
mendiuents were offered ; these led to a
protracted debate, all of "Which will be found
on pages 524, 525, 52G, 517, 523.
A motion wa made to adjourn by a Mr.
Hopkins, a Copperhead member f'oui the
city o! Philadelphia, for the purpose of de
feating the measure, he stating at the time
the motion was made that it would be per
fectly rediculous to pass this resolution.
0:i lite passage of the motion to adjourn,
The yeas and nays were required by Mr.
Barker an J Mr.llopkius,aud were as follows,
viz :

and Johnson, Spenkei 43
So the question was determined in the
negative.
The question recurring on agreeiug to the
resolution,
Mr. Cochrar, (Philadelphia,) called the
previous question, aud the call was sustain
ed, being seconded hy Messrs. Pancost,
Olmstead. Barnett, Wells, Koonce, Guern

No quorum votin', by the direction of
the Speaker, the mil ot the members was
called, when the following named gentlemen
answered to (heir names:
Messrs. Alexander. (Centre,) Alexander,

The Speaker. There appearing to be a
quorum of members present, the Clerk will
again proceed with the call of the yeas and
nays on the question, Shall the main ques
tion be now put? and those appearing to be
present in the House who do not answer up
on this call of the roll, are informed that
they will stand in contempt of the House.
Mr. Hopkins. I would ask whether the
Speaker is not going to send for the mem
bers who are absent. Such has heretofore
been the practice in this House.
The Speaker. The gentleman will come
to order. The Clerk will proceed to call the
roll.
Mr. Hopkins. I rise to point of order
that a call of the yeas and nays on sustaining
the main question is not now in order. The
Xrevious question was called ; a call of the
House was then ordered, when a majorityof
the members answered. Pending that, the
hour of adjournment arrived. Now, sir, if
the Speaker decides that the previous ques
tion, although not sustained, can carry a
question over the hour ot adjournment, I
asrain raise the question that all absentees
who have not been properly excused before
this House, must first be sent tor before the
call can be proceeded with.
The Speaker. The gentleman willredace
I his point of order to writing. The Clerk
vn proceed with the call.
1 1 . . i r . -
-ur. nopMns. it is not necessarv to re
duce it to writing, if the roll is to be called.
(Laughter.)
On the question, Stall the main question

So the question was determined in the af
firmative. Messrs. Brown, Ilargnett, Hoover, Keifl.
WtiMi and Watson stated that they had
paired off.
The question recurring on agreeing to the
bil1, was agreed to. '
We copy the whole proceedings from the
official Lryi.satue Record, page 528, of 1 804,
from which it appears plainly that the Cop
perhead party in the House of Representa
tives were opposed to paying the soldiers.
Let every .soldier and loyal man read the
official Record. Any member of the Legis
lature of 1861 has a bound copy in his pos
session. See the pages above given.
Proceedings of the Senate on the Above Eill.
On Fri hiy, the 4th day of March, LSG4,
the following Joint Reso ution was taken up
for Ciaideration, see page 2'J5 of the Le
gislative Record, session 1SG4, viz:
Julut rn;iiUitiotM asking Congress to pass a
law increasing the pay of private soldiers and
non-com missioned officers in the ami',
came before the Senate ou third reading,
ainl was read, as follows :
Resolved by the Senate and House of
Jtepreseatutues of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania in. General Assembly met, ami
it is hereby enacted by tte authority of the
same, That our representatives in Con
gress be requested to vote for, and use their
influence for the passage ot a law increasing
the pay of private soldiers and non-commissioned
officers iu the army ol the United
States.
On the 6nal passare of the bill.
The yeas an. I nays were required by Mr.
Beatddeeand Mr. Clymer, and were as fol
lows, viz :
Yeas Messrs. Champneys Connell.Dun
lap, Fleming. Graham, Hogc, Householder,
Johnson. Kiusej, Lowry, M'Cand'ess,
Nichols, Eidgway, St. Clair, Turreil, Wil

Nays Messrs. Beardslee, Buehcr, Cly
mer, Donovan, Glatz, Hopkins, Lamherton,
Latta, M'Sherry, Montsomery, He illy.
imth, btark, Stein aul Wallace 15.
So the bill parsed finally.
Here it.will be observed that every Cop
perncaa in the senate voted against aa in
crease of pay to the soldier.
Among the Noes is found the name of Wil
liam A. V al lace, the leader of the party,
and, at, present, Chairman of the State Cen
tral Committee.
Every Union man in both branches of the
Legislature voted and worked energetically
for the nasase of the resolution, and" the
passage of the same induced Congress to in
crease the pay of every soldier in the field.
these are iacts which cannot be contra
dicted, and we challenge them to produce
facts that show otherwise. Telegraph.

The immigration at the port of .New York
which is the great headquarters of ai rivals
was 135,159 in the first eight months of
18G4. and 113,799 in the corresponding peri
od of 1805, a decrease of 21 ,360 in the latter

From the Elk Advocate of September 9th.
TO THE DEMOCRACY OF ELK COUNTY.
Your delegates appointed at the late Coun
ty Convention, to attend the Representative
Convention at Luthersburg, C.eailield coun
ty Pa., respectfully offer to you the follow
ing statement in explanation of their action
while at that piace. They proceeded to ihe
appointed plaeof meeting and there met
tbe delegates i'rom tho counties of Clearfield
and Forest. Having been informed that
the delegates from the fcjruter couuty would,
under all circumstances, support Dr. T. J.
Buyer and insist on his Humiliation, they
obtained an interview with the delegates
from Forest county iu order to ascertain
their 0 in ions on the subject. These gen
tlemen informed them that thej' were en
tirely uninstrueted and would wiilinsly cast
their votes for the candidate from Eik coun
ty, in case they could be convinced that
Clearfield county was not entitled to the
Candidate, and that Dr. Buyer had pledged
himself not to ask the ueuiinadoii this year.
Your delegates first proved to them that
Clearfield county was not entitled to the
candidate this year, and that she was not
entitled to it last year, but that it had leeri
obtained at that time by means oi falsehoods
and misstatements. Th?y next showed
them letters from Dr. Boyer, one written
in July 1SC.4 and one in August of the same
year, in which that gentleman distinctly
states to me of your delegate, that he will
not ask the nomination, this year, that
he
.) 1
does not consider C earSeld county en
JliUCU
to it and thai sue will not ask if, but will
yield a hearty support to any candidate that
Elk county may present. .The significance
of the August letter is enhanced from the
fact that it- was writteu alter the convention
had been dissolved by the secession of the
Clearfield delegates, and before the second
convention had assembled. It is a'so in
this letter that he requests the Elk delegates
to meet those from Clearfield again, and
pledges his solem word that, it will be
the last time he will ask a nomination.
The.-e letters and others, are iu possession
of. your delegates and (an, at any moment,
be produced. Your delegates next intro
duced to the delegates from Forest county,
gentlemen from Clearfield county, men of
influence and standing iu the Democratic
arty, w ho positively declared to t! em, that
Clearfield county was not entitled to the
candidate, and that its citizens did not de
sire Dr. Boyer as their Representative.
Having clearly proven to them all that they
had demanded, these gentlemen informed
your delegates, that their statements could
have no elTect upon theiu as they were
pledged to vote for Dr.-Boyer, and that no
reasoning could induce them to vote acainst
him, having but a s'-.ort time before declar
ed to your delegates that they were entirely
free, aud only wisUvd for enlightenment and
were open to conviction. Your delegates
have reason to believe that no regular Con
vention was held iti Forest county, and that
the citizens of that county were not consult
ed on that subject, but that these gentlemen
were merely privately p!eurel to suppf.'tt
him and thus enable him to defeat the unan
imous wish of the people of Eik county, and
the wishes of a great portion of Cleat field
county. 1 his assumption oi vour deleirate
is proved by the iact that at ;. t they stated
they were not instructed. a:id afterwards in
sited they were plejhjel aud that no reason
i?ig could have any effect upon ihem. Alter
the conversation above recorded, your dele
gates w.tited for tho owning of the conven
tion, ana aitcr a eoniuerable time were in
formed by one of the delegates from Cloar
hold county, that the Cieai'i-jld and 1-orast
delegates had organize 1 the convention and
elected their Chairman and that he had been
appointed a committee to invite the dele
gates from Elk county to participate in the
proceedings, l our delegates certainly con
sidered (and they believe tli3 Democracy of
Eik county will coincide with them) that
ihey h-d equal rights with the-deleg tes
from other counties, and consequently that
they should have been informed of the time
cf the opening of the convention, and have
been allowed to assist in the organization.
Considering this great breach not only of
etiquotte but of right in connection with
tlje iact that the nomination of Dr. Buyer
had I cen positively determined on in spite
of the wishes of the people of the district.
Your delegates returned answer to the
committee appointed by the convention, that
they decline to take any part in its proceed
ings. The committee conveyed this answer
to the convention, after which the' proceed
ed with their business, and in a short time
annouueed fc Dr. Boyer .the fact ot his nom
ination. Your delegates then, having ob
tained a .suitable room, proceeded to hold a
convention of which the following are the
proceedings: .
LlTTHERSBTTRG, Sept. 1st, 1865. -
The delegates appointed bv the convention
of Elk county, to attend the district conven
tion at this place, havirg seen the inutility
of meeting with the delegates from the other
counties, the nomination of 'Dr. Boyer be
ing a foregone conclusion, proceeded to take
the following action. Or motion R. T.
Kyler; substitute for Jacob McCaullv) was
called to the chair and W. James Blakely
elected Secretary. i he question ot the
nomination of a Candidate for the office of
Representative being in order. Dr. O. R.
Early oi Elk county was chosen by acclama
tion. ;
The following resolutions were then adopt
ed by acclamation:
Whereas, We consider that the office of
Representative belongs of right to Elk coun
ty for the present and coming year, and
Whereas, We have seen that it is the in
tention of the delegates of the other counties
to force upon the District a Candidate dis
tasteful in every respect, in spite of pledges
and promises heretofore made to the con
trary, and in spite of all considerations of
honor and honesty, therefore
Resolved, That having placed in nornin
tion Dr. C. R. Early of E;k count v, for tho
oifici of Representative, wj hcaitily recom
mend him to the support of the people of
this district.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this
convention be publishgd in the Elk Advo
cate and Clearfield Republican.
On motion the convention adjourned.
1L T. Kylsr, Chairman.
W. James Blakely, Secretary.
After the convention," your delegates con
versed with many prominent Democrats
t'toui various parts of Clearfield county who
informed them that they deplored the nom
ination of Dr. Boyer and would much prefer
to see Dr. Early as their Representative.
These gentlemen also asserted that the can-
didatu for Representative should not come
from Clearfield county this year, as they were
not entitled to it aud that Dr. Boyer was
not the choice of its citizens.
Taking ail the.e facts into consideration
your delegates respectfully suggest to the
Democracy of Elk county, the justice of sus-tainii-g
tht in in their action aud of yielding
a hearty and unjiriiin jussupport to the Can
didate they have nominated.

TEE STULTIFIED S0LDIEE.
The Philadelphia Press, aiter a scathing
review of the Democratic platform of this
State, thus refers to Col. Davis, the soldier
who has accepted a nomination for Auditor
(J eneral on a platform that is a blistering libel
upon his heroism in the field :
An 1 it is a soldier that crowns this revolt
ing jyiamid! The candidate for Auditor
(Jeueral is Colonel W. W II. Davis, of Bucks
county. We take it for granted that lie will
accept the nomination indeed it would be
safe to say that he sought that doubtful
honor. Colonel Davisf hough, agoodsoldier,
was one of the very few men who iought
against the rebellion in the field and allowed
his name to remain at the head of a news
paper in Backs county, in which the war
aud the Administration under which it was
conducted were steadily opposed and mis
represented. Had the counsels of his news
paper, the Doylestcwn Democrat, been fol
lowed, Colonel Davis would now be one of
the spec atorsof (if not one of the mourners
over) a divided and sub-divided Republic;
each fragment at war with the other, and
all ready for a foreign master iu prefer
ence to a re-union among themselves. . Vain
in that case, had been his Sword against the
theories of the Pen that wrote in his news
paper. Once it was giveu out that the sol
dier was not the editor that the Doylestown
Democrat were not the words of Colonel
Davis, and that he would take an early
char.ee to say .so. Time passed. His regi
ment, the 104th, has closed its service, been
mustered out, and the officers and men have
l'or months been at their homes. But tho
Iiy!eiovn Democrat has contained no card
from the military editor, rebuking his sub
stitute for the sentiments that made it so
vile an echo vt the Woods and the W. B.
Reeds 1 iring his absenca. We hare, in
stead, his nomination as candidate for an
important State office on the most odious
platform ever adopted by any party since
the rebellion commence 1. We question
whether the avowals which buried the Dem
ocrat c party under an avalanche i.i Ohio in
1S03, which lost Jesse D. Bright his seat
in the Senate in 1S61, or which now consti
tutes the basis of the Copperhead opposition
in Kentucky, was or is more repulsive. It
is certain that none of the late rebellious
States have any of the late enemies of the
Republic enunciated opinions at once so rev
olutionary and dangerous. We are con
strained to believe, therefore that Colonel
Davis approved the disreputable course of
his paper during his absence in the field ;
and that he accepts the new demoralizing
position assumed for the Democratic party
by the Convention oj which lie is a candi
date. Now, while he deserves his share of
credit for lighting for his country; that credit
becomes a doubtful commodity when it is
trumpeted to give solvency and repute to
a bankrupt and dishonored cause. No bra
very can make such a cause acceptable to
the American people. What bitterer insult
to a soldier can be conceived than to charge
him with fighting not for principle but for
pay? How instinctively this question isun-
derstood by the bravest men of our conquer
ing t rmies, is proved in the overwhelming
fact that all of them, without distinction of
former party attainments, voted for or re
commended the re-election of Abraham Lin
coln, and hence the election ' of Andrew
Johnson. Grant, Sherman.' Sheridan, Han
cock, .Meade, Hooker. Butler, Geary, all of
them, stood on this high level, because they
regarded it as a religious duty in fact, aa
part of the obligation thev assumed wi-en
they embarked in the war asrainst the rebel
lion. Such a -Convention as that which
met at ILifrisburg onThursdayAngust 24f b,
would have been quarantined by them under
the army regulations to prevent a contagion
from spreading, and such a platform as that
which Colonel Davis stands upon, would
have been regarded at a very long range
with their best field-glasses, and finally pro
nounced a rebel, masked battery filled with
the deadliest missile. And so Col. Davi
and the Democracy of Pennsylvania will find
it to be in October next
Jeff. Davis has at the- suggestion of hia
physician, been removed from the casemate,
of Fortress Monroe, and assigned to mora
commodious quarters.
