A BECOED Or FACTS.
Who Are the Frienda of the Soldiers !
Since the return ef the Union soldiers the
Copperheads of this State are endeavoring
to create the impression that they have al
ways been friendly to soldiers, and that they
have done their utmost to sustain their
rights at home and on hostile fields. These
assertions are false in every particular. There
is not an act on the statute books in which
it can be shown that the leaders of that par
ty ever manifested the least sympathy for
the Union soldier. On the other hand we
have abundant evidence that the rebel sol
diers who had been captured and occupied
pur hospitals were treated more kindly than
tho Union soldiers by Copperhead men and
women.
The public record of the party, which now I
profess such profound sympathy for the sol
dier, cannot be obliterated, and we subjoin a
ew facts for the meditation of the soldier.
On page 335 of the Legislative Record,
session lfcul, v.iii te tounu tue iollowmg
official proceedings, which we copy verbatim,
and we hope every man will examine the
same carefully. Every member of the Leg
islature of the session of 1 S64 has the Record.
Remember the page, 333, and read it care
fully. AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION.
Mr. Johnson moved that tho Senate re
sume the consideration ef bill, Senate No.
o,J entitled Joint resolutions proposing cer
tain amendments to the Constitution.
The motion was asrrced to, and the bill
was taken up on third reading.
1 he question being on the hnal passage o
the bill, the yeas and naj's were taken in ac
cordance with the requirements cf the Con
stitution, and were as follows, viz :
1 eas Messrs. Cham pneys,Connell, Dun-
lap, Fleming, Graham, Hoge, Householder,
J ofcriMon, Kinsoy, Lowry, M Candless, Nich
ols, Jtidgway, J3t CIa:.r, Tun ell, Wilson,
wortnington ana i enney 13. .
JNays Jiessrs-Uearuslee, Donovan. Lialta,
Montgomery, Smith, Stark and Wallace 7.
oo the Dill passed finally. During thecal!,
improper to state t this time, that Senators
on this side ot the Chamber cannot voto on
this question as they probably would, if its
merits were to Do considered, l snan, uiere
tore, ask at the proper time to place my rea
sons ur on the journals for voting, if we con
sidered it upon its merits, exactly as I vote
now.' I vote no.
Mr. UrciiER said: Mr. Speaker, 1 voted
for these amendments last session, and whilst
the strongest evidence was afl'orded me at
the last election of tho abuse tins privilege
will cfler to those who lord it over such ot
the qualified electors of this State who may
be in the army of the nation still I do not
think such an abue should deprive our citi
zens of their rights. I would therefore,
have again voted for them, provided this
body was legally organized but, as such is
not the position of the Senate, I decline to
vote. -
Mr. Lamberton said : At the last ses
sion of the Legislature, along with my Dem
ocratic brethem, and in obedience to public
sentiment then, I voted for these amend
ments to the Constitution. But, sir, since
the beginning of this session, believing, that
tho nrMni7.:ition of the Senate was not in
jKvnrMnee wit h law or precedent, I have,
sir, steadily, step by s-tep, opposed what I
believed to be a usurping organization. I
I have, hitherto declined to recognize any
affirmative legislation by this body, no mat
ter how meritorious the subject, because I
believed it, was not constituted properly to
legislate. I cannot, even now, upon this
important question, recognize, by my vote,
whnt T believe to be a lawless organization :
reserving for the future such expressions-of
my views as I may deem proper ana neces
snrv. For the reasons indicated I decline
- -
to vote. .
Mr T att a snid r T shall vote ho on tin:
question, and will aks the privilege of the
Senate to file my reasons for so voting, m
addition to the common reason of a want of
ironnt7.!itiriri '
"Mr. Wallace said : T vote against this
bill upon principle, as well as for form, and
desire to assign the following reasons lor my
vrnta with, rpfrnnl t.r thr? first amendment:
This is no ordinary step. It is not one of
those acts of legislation that may be repeal
ed at our next session, if it prove unwise or
injurious, but it is a change of the organic
law, which, if effected, cannot be repealed
save by tbe act ot two successive legisla
tures, and a vote of the people, and even
this cannot be done until five years subse
quent to its adoption. Such are the provis-
ions ot the constitution. Jesnie tnis, m
in substance a repeal of the well considered
provisions ot the Constitution ot Io-js upon
the subject of the right of suffrage, and es
sentially a change and a modification ot the
invaluable safe-guards that the wisdom of
ages has thrown around the elective fran
chise. The time of its proposition, too, is
objectionable. We are in the midst of great
public commotion ; the minds of men are in
a continual whirl of excitement and agita
tion ; and the hour is unpropitious for that
1m iinrn-fHml iiiflcment th.it should -preside
over our deliberations in the settlement of
questions of this magnitude.
Whnfpvflr TTiav have been mv sentiments
and opinions upon this amendment when it
V9i hrnrfi this todv at last session, two
rC fVia vcf nonr havfl tailffht me tO
ineanninwe at its adontion, ana
a tn an intrPftticrof inn of ltS DierltS,
In our own State we have seen the mlUt"7
i i nnfM-.i;n(r nnmor rn decide the
i rl!ij-. and uniust uis-
crimination made m favor of one party and
against another. The soldier whose' inde
pendence of action and peculiar party views
rendered him incapable of control, was per
mitted to remain on duty, whilst he who
was willing to be subservient, or was already
possessed of the essential requisite, was sent
home to aid iD the election. Of the result
we have no right to complain. The nJeans
made use of, aud the unblushing avowal of
them are to my mind alike fearful and por
tentious. We have seen the dearest rights of a free
and patriotic people in the States of Mary
land, Delaware and Kentucky ruthlessly in
vaded by the Executive, the bayonet of the
soldier used to control the btillot of the free
man, and the will of the people made to
yield to the power of force. In each of
those States the ballot box has been tram-
tded in the dust, and the minions of power
lave Leen elevated to place to do the bid
dings of their masters.
So, too, ia the rebellious States, we have
seen the rebel and the patriot united in the
same degree. ; and they who have never
raised the hand of rebellion, or sympathised
with its acts, must lowly abase themselves,
or be deprived of the right of suffrage.
Those who have committed no crime, who
have been guiltv of no act ot rebellion, must
subscribe a slavish oath, must degrade their
manhood, and basely cringe at the feet of
power, or be disfranchised. As a condition
precedent to the pardon of a rebel, this
might well be done; butas a pre-requisite to
the risrnt of suflrage oy a loyal man, it is
the sheerest tyranny. It may be done in
Louisiana or in Tennessee. If the segis of
the Constitution be insufficient to protect
the lover of the Union there, may we not
justly fenr its power here.
I he abstract proposition embodied in this
amendment appears to many minds at first
blush a reasonable and just one. It requires
an inquiry into and some examination of our
elective and criminal system to demonstrate
to such minds the utter impossibility of
ffuardincr the ballot box in the army, outside
of tho Commonwealth, from foul and loath
some fraud. If, therefore, it be impossible
to protect this right of suffrage from fraud
at a distance from the Commonwealth, surely
its exercise cannot be advocated with pro
priety. ..... - -
--I-Tn also opposed to the proposition con
tained in the remainingamendments. 1 hey
are in substance a restraint upon the law
making power, upon subjects that are not
1 tmd!j'Viu inn ttn' vv iii x i vtug -
State. The Legislature, by their rules and
by statue, can and should control these sub
jects ; and if these amendments bei ncorpo-
rated into the Constitution, they will, in my
judgment, prove serious impediments to just
and proper legislation.
Mr. Wallace continued his remarks on
the same subjeet during the entire session of
that clay, and they are recorded in full on
pages 336, 337, 33S and 330.
After the conclusion of Mr. Wallace's
remarks, the following document was handed
in to be entered on the J ournals, and is re
corded on page 340 of the Record:
We vote against the amendment upon prin
ciple, and concur in the reasons filed by Mr.
Wallace.
D. It. Montgomery, J. C. Smith,
C. 31. Donovan, J. 13. Stark.
Here the soldiers will find all the Senators
belonging to the copperhead party voting in
solid column against the Amendment allow
ing soldiers the right of suffrage.
These Senators are now the pretended
friends of the soldiers, while, when they
were in authority, they voted against paying
them and urged every measure to sustain
the Southern rebels. Let the document be
circulated, so that every returned veteran
may know his friends.
On the 23d day of August, 1S64, the Sen
ate proceeded to the consideration of the
hill Nr 1345. entitled an act to rejraiate c-
lections by sodiers in actual military service
The whole session was consumed in the
consideration of the bill and on the final
passage of the same, the whole rartY voted
against rr !
The following is the official result of the
same as recorded on page 1,288 of the Leg
ijt;, T?snr,J session 1864. it reads as
follows :
The yeas and nays were required by Mr
Clymer and Mr. Wallace, and were asfol
lows, viz: -
Vrie Messrs. Chamnnevs, Connell,
Dunlap, 'Fleming, Uoge, Householder, John

Stein and Wallace 14.
So the bill passed nnauy.
It will thus be observed that every Cop
nerhead Senator voted against the privilege
of allowing the soldier a vote on the battle
M?
field. William A. Wallace, the present
Chairman of the State Central Committee
was the party leader in the Senate.
The CoDDerheads in the House.
Whilst the Copperheads in the Senate
were doing their utmost to degrade the sol
rlier tlioir friends in the House were not
idle in the Eame dirty work.

fA vote in the nekL ana
vof r.P tVio bold, independent mem
luau v
hers, as they styled themselves, spoke de
fiantly of the soldier who exposed himself in
defence of his country.
Whilst the bill was under cousidcration,
r. Labar, the leader of the Copperhead
faction in the House, from Bucks county,
made the following remarks :
"As for myself I am opposed to the sol
dier voting anywhere. 1 am orrosED
TO HIS MEDDLING WITH THE BALLOT BOX,
the sacredness of the ballot box being the
great palladium of the American freedom.
Whatever my fellow members in this House
may think of me, it will be handed down to
posterity that 1 was one ot the Democrats
wno Had the hardihood to vote -asrainst the
right of the soldier to vote."
(This speech is recorded on page 1,304 of
the Legislative Record, session 1S64,)
Such were the general expressions used
hy the most ardent Copperheads, whilst
those of the "milder sort" attempted to de-
at the bill by the usual parliamentary
egerdemain. In this they were however.
frustrated.
The question then was, Shall the bill
pass ?
On the final passage of the bill, the yeas

Every Copperhead is here again recorded
as voting against allowing the soldier to voto
whilst in the service of his country. These
men are now attempting to profess friend-

risy! .

HAED UP FOE CANDIDATES.
We have seen persons in embarrassing po
sitions in some that awaken pity, in some
that arouse fear, in some that excite laugh
ter, but we have never seen anybody so
awkwardly situated as the political faction
that comically calls itself the Democracy.
They are completely cornered, and are
distressingly conscious of it. But to conceal
their mortification a:d to forestall the ridi
cule of spectators, they put on whimsical
airs, and go through grotesque motions, as
though they enjoyed the fun themselves.
They are like a person who awkwardly falls
in the street, and looks around, as he rises,
to see if any body is laughing at him, with
a painful grin on his own face.
In nothing does this expedient ot human
nature in its straits, appear more conspicu
ously than in the selection of their candi
dates by the aforesaid Democracy. After
having denounced the war in every shape
and form of speech, aud tried in vain to pre
vent the soldiers who were defending the
country against traitors from enjoying the
right of suflrage, they fill out their list of
candidate for office with the names of these
very soldiers, so that they look rather like
muster rolls than civil lists. There is incon
sistency in this putting forward soldiers
and yet there ' is consistency, too, for the
stay-at-home party men have all through
the war kept themselves far in the rear of
the brave soldiers. But they nominate sol
diers only in places where there is no chance
of. success. This is decidedly shabby treat
men cf the brave boys The Democracy is
never lacking in caudidates for office, when
they are any where within the possibility of
election. Where it is otherwise, a soldier
may stand in the 1 Vent as well as another
man if he is willing. But some of them
are not willing, having" no relish for defeat
at the polls after having corquered in the
field ; and most of them have no notion of
playing stool-pigeon for a party that stood
out against the war and the Ui ion as long
Mr. Lee and Mr. Davis did. The thing is
too farcical. Old soldiers are not so easily
