VOTES Of TUE B4OLDIBBB•
We do not feel touch concerned, says
the Dayton Empire, about the votes of
the soldiers, now that they are-at - home.
and can mingle with the men who have
been so infamously represented to them,
and may read papers that many of their
superior dam% were so base as to deny
them access to. They have sense enough
to determine in a short. time who have
been their friends and with whom their
interests ought to be confided in the
future. When they come to under
stand that abolitionist, protracted their
term of service and caused their sufferings
in the prison pens of the South, and now
that their success is to be used, rather to
make the negro their equal at the ballot
box than to restore the Southern States to
their former position in the Union ; when
they come to see that they have been bear
ing the heat and burden of the contest at
sixteen delars a month, whilst the patrAtie
stay•at-home gentlemen, who have ben
so vigorously patting them on the back.
have been counting their gains by thou.
.sands and tens of thousands, and are in
vesting their surplus profits in non-tax
paying government bonds 4 whilst the la
bor of the country, to which all these re
turned soldiers must contribute, is taxed
to pay the enormous debt incurred by ar
unnecessarily protracted war; when al'
these things and a great many more come
to be understood and comprehended, a•
they anon will be, we will have nothint
especially to fear from the votes of the
1101 Q iert.
The lives of the common soldier in this
• war have been sacrificed with heartless-
ness and prodigality as brutal as was un
necesst►ry. The butchery at Fredericks
burg was an illustration of the sacrificer
that were made to appease the clamor of
the cowardly stay-at-home patriots for r
more vigorous prosecution of the war.—
Virginia to day boils the bones of no less
than fifty'thousand brave private soldiers
whose lives were ruthlessly sacrificed to
the importunity of Abolitionists and news
paper politicians, who were constantly ex
erting a control - over the operations of our
armies in the field.
The slaughter of some sixteen hundred
brave men, by the explosion of the Sultana
who after surviving the thousand dangers
and hardships of the battle-field had to
fall victims to the groveling, heartless av
arice or some speculating Abolition quer
termastera is unatoned for. We bear of
no military commissions to_ try the mur
derers of these thousands of brave men—
thes were but private soldiers I
It is the responsibility of the party in
power for the immense and revolting sac
rifice of life and means, that resulted from
their fatally mistaken policy and the con
trolling influence of Abolitionists, that
now rises like the ghost of Bsoquo at the
banquet of Macbeth, "with (a million)
mortal murders on its crown to push them
.
from their seats."
It is this which makes them anxious
about the " rotes of the soldiers." and
which prompts the continued falsification
of the conduct and purposes of the Dem
ocratic party.
Time will prose all things.
Srawrorr.—There is no public man in
the country who is so generally disliked
and loathed as Stanton. He gets more
kicks than kindness even in his own par
ty. The Tribune, for example, in the course
of an article yesterday, on the return of
the 54.1 s (colored) regiment of Massachu
setts volunteers, charges him, in plain
terms, with cheating and
.dishonesty. The
only complimentary allusion we have
lately seen made to Secretary Stanton was
the resolution endorsing and praising him
by thePennsylvanis Republican Conven
tion, probably not adopted out of any
respect for Stanton. bat as a covert means
of disparaging President Johnson. A
convention which damned the President
with faint praise iss one resolution, rind
rebuked his reconstruction policy in . an
other, Mai to belittle and eclipse him in
a third. by extolling to the skies the man
Stanton, whose name is a stench in the
nastrils of multitudes in his Own party.
Tug Harrisburg 7elegrop4 • berates the
late Des:Mantic State Convention hitterly
for not adopting a resolution "proposing
to give to the soldiers of 186 . 1-0, one
hundred and sixty acres of land in lieu of
the bounties they failed to receiie." The
joke of the matter is, that the Convention
did pus a resolution to the very effect
which' the ntegrapA abuses it for not ou
tdoing. Will the Telegraph have the
kindness to tell us what action the con
vention of Its party adopted on • this sub
ject? If we are not mistaken, that e body
failed entirely to pass any resolution on
the question.

Lill2l OF COL, W. W. 11. DAVLS.
DOTLIGITOWW, PENWITYLVAPILL,
August 29th, 1865.
Genuses—l have the honor to ac
knowledge the reception of your letter bf
the 25th instant; announcing my nomina
tion as Democratic candidate for Auditor
Gener .1 of the State. Although' the posi
tion was not sought for by me, I secept
the- nomination, and tender my thanks for
the comphment thus paid me. A decent
respect for the opinion of the people
of Pennsylvania, whose suffrage is so
licited, seems to require a frank statement
of my views.
I was opposed to secession, even when
simply a political dogma, advocated at the
hustings and at the forum; which is prov
ad by my subsequent conduct when it had
grown to armed insurrection.
I am opposed to negro suffrage, as every
white man should be. Nature has erected
a harrier against the two races enjoying
equal political rights in the same commu
nity where they approximate in numbers
as in the Southern Sates. San Domingo
is a good case in point to prove the incom
patibility of the two races exercising equal
political privileges in harmony. There bag
been almost perpetual warfare between
the negroes and mulattoes since the island
has 'been in their possession ; which has
been only a struggle for the ruling influ
ence between the pure* African and the
mixed blood. If this people, of the same
race, but of a different caste, cannot gov
ern a small island in peace, what are we
to suppose would be the condition of
things when the negroconies into compe
tion with the pure Caucasian in the strug
gle for empire in the South ? The found
ers of our Government intended that the
white should be the governing race in this
country, and it will be a calamitous da3
for both people when the black man is
given the p gitical franchise and eutitled
to hold office. I am opposed to • any
change in the State Constitution in this
respect; and deny to Congress all right
whatever to fix the qualification for suf
frage in any State.
I am in favor of President Johnson's
policy of restoring the States, lately in re
bellion, to their constitutional obligations.
I cannot admit that their ordinances of
secession took any of them out of , the
Union: For a time an armed force inter
rupted their constitutional functions, but
did not destroy their identity as States.
Hence the States, in their political signifi
cation, not having been destroyed, they
need no reconstruction, but simply to be
restored to their reciprocal rights and du
ties ; when the Union will be made whole
as before. Whenever they shall send rep
resentatives to Congress who are qualified
by the Constitution, and the laws of the
respective States, there is no rightful pow
er in that body to refuse their admission.
I appreciate the peculiar and trying situ
ation of the President,and think he should
be treated with forbearance by all parties.
His plan of restoration gives evidence that
he dues not intend to ignore the rights of
the States, and be led captive by the radii.
cal doctrine'of consolidation.
The Convention did well to demand an
immed.ate and complete resteration of all
civil rights in the loyal States. If there
was an excuse for withholding them in
the days of rebellion, there certainly can
ite none now. You say to the President
iemly and kindly, restore to the people
he Wats corpus and trial by jury, as fully
, s they were enj led before the rebellion
and abodsb military courts except for the
rial of persons in the naval or military ser•
vice of the United States. These thing•
,re granted to the people by the Conatitu
I inn, and withholding them violates it in
4pirit and in tact. When we ask that they
•4s restored, we only demand what belongs
o us.
I am in favor of the most rigid system
, f economy in the administration of pub.
.c affairs. In view of the heavy taxation
here should be retrenchment in every
mossible way. All officers, civil and mili
•ary, whose services a state of peace does
not absolutely require, should oe disponi
.d with; and our system of taxation should
ne so amended and equalized, that every
nan will be obliged to hear his share of
the public burden according to his abili
ty.
am pleased that the Convention took
action on the subject of equalizing the
counties of soldiers. There is every reason
why the patriotic men who enlisted in
1861 and '62 should -b* placed on an equal
ity with those who enlisted at a later pe
riod. Should I be elected, whatever in
fluence I possess, official or otherwise, will
be exercised in obtaining justice for the
early defenders of the Government. What
ever honors °triers may nave emtintreo to
the contest just closed, the private soldier,
aho bare the heat aid burden of the (ley,
will always remain the true hero of the
war, and he is entitled at all times to our
consideration and gratitude. My past
history is sufficient guarantee that I shall
not overlook his claims. I remain, very
respectfully, your obedient servant.

GCNTLININ—Ycins favor of the 25th list.,
officially informing me of my nomination
for Surveyor Geueral "by the Democratic
State Convention assembled at Harrisburg
on the 24th inst.," has just been received.
Not only was this nomination unsought
and unexpected on my part, but had I
been consulted beforehand I would have
urged my friends' not to introduce my
name into the Convention. A•ty hesita
tion, however, in now accepting, might
be construed intols want of appreciation
of the distinguished honor conferred by
the Convention, or a want of faith is the
principles promulgated by it. I certainly
feel neither. The importance of the po
sition would - have been my chief reason
for not soliciting it, and the resolutions
adopted are hut a practical application to
existing exingencies of those cardinal
principles which I have always consci
ously maintained.
Accepting, therefore, this nomination
and its responsibilities, I remain,

From the present signs of the times, an
exchange comes to the oonclution that it
is apparent the Republican party is pretty
nearly • used up morn.. It has the
sable elephant on hand, and don't know
what to do with the 1/IMlttibUS animal: The
firm is composed of two 'partners, each
wanting to dissolve from the other. But
they cannot agreti 'upon the term' of dis
solution, because they are suspicions of
each other. • One fears the other will get
too much African for his Share. and the
other trembling with apprehension lest
he will not get enough. Both factions
are at a loss to know how to make a plat
form, or to find any one willing to en
dorse and run upon it after the construc
tion is accomplished. We would advise
them to try Spaulding's Prepared Glue,
or some othez adhesive preparation, to
stick the concern together, so as to keep
up appearances until the October election.
In our opinion the ebony idol is a
dated piece of mechanism—that i s wor
shippers are in the last stage of galloping
consumption, and are only walking about

Tua Republican leaders are be(Mming
alarmed at the popularity of oui 'candi
dates and the harmony of our party.—
Their papers are filled with appeals to the
frithful, begging of them to he up and
working. The Harrisburg TelegrapA sounds
the alarm a follows :
The Democratic party of Pennsylvania
is to• lay more united than it has been for
four years past. Our Union brethren,
therefore, in every district must not ex
pect to walk over the course - We must go
into the contest expecting to fight the last
desperate battle with treason.
The Telegraph is frightened so badly
that it has become slightly mixed. In
stead of "treason" in the last line it plain
ly intended patriotism. It may well cpl
culate•upon the campaign this fall being
the last "desperate battle" between Abo
litionism and Democracy. We expect to
whip them so severely that future contests
will be no battles at all—merely skirmish

Ha. ODZLL, THZ NATAL °moss.— The
appointment of Mr. Odell as Naval Officer
of' New York,iwaa made against the de

Woebi says that this fact being known to
Mr. Odell, "he promptly addressed a let
ter to the' authorities,_ stating that it
was true that he resisted the election of
the Republican candidates last autumn,
and voted for 31tClellan and Pendleton ;
that if he was appointed to any office it
must be with the distinct understanding
that he was a Democrat who obeyed the
discipline of his party; and in conclusion
be asked to be permitted to remind the
Administration that Me Democratic organi

plan of restoring social order cud rc-establiah

Washington special says: The leadirg
politicians of the Republican party have
been 'gathered in this city to consider

that they will be displacel from power if
they press their extreme views upon the

Their characters are not ouly of the very

Novivas.—The Philadelphia News, a
shoddy organ, says that Gen. Hartranft,
went into the service " imbued with a re.
ligious sentiment," and "„devoted all the
energies of his soul to the cause," but that
Colonel Davis only marched forward to
" draw his pay," and to "seek the honors
which the Government might bestow." It
is strange, however, that Hartranft got all
the honors and Davis all the weinule—Davis
having been wounded three timeaand left

Hartranft bears not a single scratch 1 The
