YOUR DUTY.
The political contest of 1865 is near its
close, and before another issue of the 03-
naval reaches its patrons, will have been
decided. It has been a remarkably quiet
one, although the questions involved are
_ among the most important ever presented
to the American people:
The is.ues are familiar to all—they re•
quire no farther explanation or argument.
The time for talking and writing has gone
by—the period of action has arrived. Vic
tory is within our grasp, if we will but
make the proper efforts to obtain it. On
the fidelity of the Democratic voters
of the Common wealth depends the result
of the content. If they turn out on elec
tion day with the alacrity that has here
tofore distinguished them—if they labor
with the seal of the put L-if they will not
permit themselves to be uselessly discour
ed by the misfortunes that have hereto-
fore attended their labors, a glorious and
overwhelming success awaits UP.
Let it be impressed upon all that a full
vote is a certain defeat to Abolitionism
The election . of bur candidates this 'fall
will be a sure harbinger that Andrew
Curtin's successor will be a Democrat.
To the polls, then, every man. , Let
nothing , deter you from performing your
ddty. Cast your ballot, and see that your
Democratic neighbor does the same. Re
solve to devote one day more to the cause
of the country. Be sure that no vote is
lost. Go into the work like men deter
mined to win, and allow neither threats
nor ridicule to daunt you. The skies are
clearing, the afar of victory begins to
dawn ; we need only be true to our old
time inspirations and all will yet be right.

The despatch's announced on Tuesday
morning, that the proposed amendment
to the Constitution of Connecticut, giving
negroes the right of suffrage, was defeated
by a majority of from three to five thous
and. As usual, when the returns are in
favor of the Damocrata, the telegraph has
minim kept a mysterious silence, and we
think we are justified in behaving that
the majority against the amendment . will
be still larger than the first reports - esti
mated. An exciting canvass had been
snide, each party had its bast speakers on
the stump, a Poll vote was polled. and the
result is from these facts all the more
positive and estufactory.*
Theloung Territory of Colorado, now
making preparations to enter the Union
as * State, has also-had an election. The
result there, as in Connecticut, turned on
the question of negro suffrage. A con
stitution had baen framed, one clause of
which extendel the privilege of voting to
negroes. The people, by a large majority,
have voted down this provision, adopting
all the other parts of the instrwymt, and
Colorado will stand side by side with her
sister States in maintenance of the theory
pronounced by Douglas,that this is a white
man's government, to be sustained ands
controlled by white men forever.
We are justified in claiming these as
Democratic victories. In Connecticut and
Colorado the Republicans, as here, are the
advocates of negro voting, and the Demo
crats, with a few conservative men of the
opposition, its enemies. - The election in
both were contested, upon party ground.,
and the result is regarded by the Tribune
as a substantial declaration in favor of the
Democratic party. The tide of pclitical
battle is changing, and the insolent and
intelerant Abolition organization is des
'tined to a speedy overthrow. Let Demo-
Wats only do their full duty on Tuesday,
and Pennsylvania will take her stand
along with Condecticut and Colorado.

be the merits of his reasoning, it seems to

voting who ran away to escape the drift
last spring. The late Congress, or the one
preceding it, enacted a law, disfranchis
ing every person who had been drafted,
and failed to appear, as notified in the
Provost Marshal's order, but authorizing
the President to issue a proclamation re
mitting the penalties of desertion, provi
ded the parties reported within sixty digs
after the one on which it was dated. In
accordance therewith, Mr. Lincoln did
publish such- a proclamation, and it was
printed in nearly all the papers of the
North. The Abolitionists claim that a
majority of the deserters were Democrats,
and. avow their intention of enforcing the
law of Congress. 83 far as its effect in a
party sense is concerned, we care little
about the matter, as our investigations in
this county lead us to believe that about
as many of one political organization
." skedaddled" as . another, but there are
issues involved exceeding any mere polit
ical oonsideration. We are firmly of the
opinion that no law of Congress, or edict
of the President, can either fix or abolish
the status of a voter in the States. The
question of suffrage is one left exclusively
to the separate States by this C institution,,
and no department of the Federal gov
ernment has a right to interfere with it.
Congress can no more make or unmake
a voter in Pennsylvania, than the Legis
lature of the State can dictate the pro
ceedings of Congress. This is one of the
well settled features of the government,
which no lawyer of standing will dispute.
The people of Pennsylvania, by their
delegates In convention assembled, exer
cising their undoubted prerogative, laid
down the qualifications of voters in the
Constitution, as follows :
" Section 1, Article 3. In elections by
the citizens•every weirs freeman of the
age of twenty one years, having resided
in this State one year, and in the election
district where he offers to vote, ten days
immediately preceeding such election,
and within two years paid a State tax,
assessed at least ten days before the elec
tion, shall enjoy the rights of an elector "
Here is the supreme law of the State,
which every public officer is bound to
execute and every citizen to obey. It
defines in exact terms who are legal
voters, and every person coming within
the class described, has an inalienable
right to suffrage while that clause is in
force,- which no official in the United
States can legally deprive him of. Not
even the State Legislature can interfere
with his privileze, because that body has
no authority to change a clause of the
Constitution. It must be done by the
people themselves, through their legally
chosen representatives, in convention as
sembled, for the express purpose of alter
ing, or abolishing the instrument. -
The right, of voters, as fixed in the
Constitution, are carefully guarded by the
election laws of the Commonwealth. For
instance, the 103 d section of the Act of
July 21, 1839, declares, that-,-
" If any inspector or judge of an elec
tion shall knowingly reject the vote of any
qualified citizens, * * each of the
persons sa offending shall, on conviction,
he punished in the manner prescribed in
the 107th section of this act, (i. e. by a
fine of not less than $5O nor more than
$200.)
By the 67th section of the same law, it
is provided, that—
" Every person qualified as aforesaid, and
who shall make due proof (if required) of
his residence and
,payment of taxes is
aforesaid, skill be ant;tted to ivte, in the
township, ward or diatrict in which he
shall reside."
And by the 19th section of the same
law, an inspector's oath is prescribed,
which is in part as follows: " 1 i * *
"and that I will not receive any ticket or
vote from any °person other than such as
I shall firmly believe to be. according to
the provisions of-the Omstitution and laws of the
ammonwea/th, entitled to vote at such
election, without requirint such evidence
of the'right to vote as is directed by law;
nor will I vexatiously delay or refuse to receive
any vote from any person whom lehallbelieve to
be entitled to vote as aforesaid," &c,
, The "qualified citizens " here spoken
of indisputably mean those described by
the Constitution, in the clause printed
above. It will be seen that if the votes
of any such are refused, no matter what
Congressional or Legislative act may be in
existence, the inspectors and judge 'are
each liable to beery penalties. Their duty
is plain, and, if, in an unwise moment,
they should permit • themselves to be
swayed by unworthy motives; the conse
quences will fall upqn their heads. The
aggressions upon State prerogatives have
gone so far that they must be crushed u
soon as possible, and we know of no better
way
. to bring therq to an issue than on
this qnesticut of suffrage. We earnestly
advise that in every instance where elec
tion officers refuse to swept of the Sates
of any persons clearly entitled to them. by.
the State Constitution, they be summa
rily brought before the*courts for trial and
punishment.
It may be well to add that this question
was brought before the Legislature of
1865, and decided in opposition to the
act of Congress, although the body was
largely Republican. • It was proposed to
legalise the President's proclamation. 'so
far as voters in this State were concerned.
In discussion on the 17th of March last,
Mr. Brown, of Warren, Chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, the one to which
all such subjects are referred, and Col.
McClure, of Franklin, the two ablest Re
publicans in the House, warmly opposed
the measure, on the ground that it was
unjust, absurd and unconstitutional. At
the result of their efforts, it was postponed,
and never more made its appearance, a
tacit admission on the part of itsendorsers
that what these gentlemen had asserted
was true. During' the debate, Colonel.
McClure said : .
" Here you aim.* blow at the very heart
of the Constitution, by providing that , 11
021;1 shall cease to be a citizen .he has
disregarded 's law. of Congress." * *
can never constant to confer upon any
election board in this Commonwealth the
right to determine who,are and who are
not deserter!, and they—tog disfranchise
citizen.".
There are
_other views in which - the
matter might be presented, but oar arti
cle has already attained sufficient length,
and we think enough has been shown to,
convince all impartial persons of the con
reotneas of our position.

Puss bold and reckless Abolition paper,
the Harrisburg Telegraph, publishes in its
issue of Moriday, a long list of' Democratic
journals in Pennsylvania, which it asserts,
opposed the rights and interests of the sol
diers. If the Telegraph's statements are no
=ore correct in regard to the other pa•
pars mentioned than they are in reference
to the Cassavas, there is but little depen
dence to be placed upon them. The Ca
ssavas has not only nor oppoeed bounties
to soldiers, and relief for their families.
but has always been one of the most active
endorsers of those measures. 1 4 defended
the system of paying bounties to volun
teers, when the Telegraph and most of the
papers of lie ilk, were clamoring for con
scription, and events afterwards proved
the correctness of its arguments. It has
been from the first earnestly in favor of
extending aid to the soldiers' families, be
lieving that the men who gallantly per
iled their lives for the public benefit had
a right to expect that those who remained
at home would see that their families did
not suffer in their absence. It has ever
insisted on the right of the soldier to vote,
only asking that such a system might he
adopted as would protect him against im
proper interference, enable him to deposit
his ballot according to his honest dictates,
and ensure an accurate return of the bal
lots. The position of the °MULVEY on
these subjects was that of every Demo
cratic paper with which we are acquainted.
No greeter falsehood was ever invented
than that which asserts that Democrats
advocated the disfranchisement of the
soldier. What they did object-to was the
notorious intermeddling with his rights, by
which he was deprived of the privilege of
acting as his conscience 'dictated, and
sought to be made an instrument for the
personal and political benefit of men who
cared nothing for him or the country, and
everything for party and self. The true
friends of the soldier were those who en
deavored to preserve the Constitution and
laws intact, that he might enjoy the same
civil liberty on his return home which he
left on entering the army ; who asked for
an economical administration of public
affairs, that his properly might not be
eaten up by taxation ; who demanded
prompt exchanges of prisoners, that he
might not be obliged to suffer in rebel
prisons; who labored to increase his
wages and have him paid promptly ; who
urged that he should have good officers,
and not mere political favorites ; and
who 'strove to bring the war to an early
and honorable close, while the Abolition
ists were doing • all they could to prolong
it, and continue his privations.
TRYING TO COVeg •\7II3O'M lIIKELS.
It is amusing to see the adroitness with
which the Union party (?) endeavor to
ear up the negro in their several political
"platforms," and the resolutions adopted
at their public meetings throughout such
of the Northern States as are considered
doubtful in the coming State elections.
In inch States as they fed sure they
" make 430 bones" of "going the whole
hog" in favor of negro suffrage, but where
the result is not so sure for them, they are
very coy.
To endorse Andrew Johnson's policy
for reconstruction, and enforce negroe'uf
frage upon the Southern States through
the power of Congress, they find rather
an " up-hill business ;" thus their endear.
ors to hood-wink the people.
All their political • chicanery, and
prolix wording is brought to bear to cover
up "Sambo's" heels. But it is no use
the peoplewill look upon it as " the cat
in the meal-tub," and treat their hypocrisy
as it deserves.
The resolution of the Syracuse Conven
tion in relation to this point, probably
from the pen of that political fox, Henry
J. R‘ymond, is the masterpiece; and yet
with all his sophistry, ,and skillfully ar-
ranged covering, there was plain 1.0 be

the Entry books are now opened, and
that he hi prepared to receive entries and
give number Checks. The; books may be
found et his office (County Treasurer's
office, in the Court House). We hope to
see the books filled, as the money received
for entries is paid out in premiums ; if the
premiums are small it will be because
there is a want of interest. •There is every
reason why we should all exert ourselves
to make this Fair a successful one. The
time has come now, it ever, for the effort
to be made to pay, off the indebtedness' of
the Society, and allow them to improve
the grounds owned by them. This can

awakened among the farmers, mechanics

COAL ROAD TO BUIV/ALO.-It, may not be
generally known to the people of Erie county,
that in addition to the "Cross-Cut " road,
there Is another route proposed, designed to
benefit Buffalo at the expense of this city.
We refer to the Buffalo ft Washington rail
road, intended to connect wits the Philadel.
phis and Erie, at or near Emporium, Cameron
county, and furnishing a direct route from
Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia, and
an unbroken page, to the lake shore at Buf
falo. This road is not yet built, but a charter,
we believe, has been obtained, and the Buffalo
papers are urging the completion of the wort.
The proposed line is represented as traveraing
a comparatively level country, and it is said
the grade will be remarkably light. lThe
papers of Buffalo claim that if the line Is
that city will become the great opal depOt of
the laces, that from its advantage of shorter
distance the vast through travel from the
South would take that route in preference to
coming to our city, and that Erie and Oeve
land would lose their present advantages as
supply depots far coal. To show our readers
the arguments by which the citizens of Buffalo
are urged to invest their means in this under.
taking, we quote from a lengthy article in the
Courier of Saturday on the subject :
," The course of this line of railway from
Buffalo to Emporium is very direct, following,
the valleys, which all run in nearly the same
direCtiOn. The, grade line is favorable for
• the trade. The demand for supplying the
;gas companies at the East, and that of Buffalo
'for domestic and manufacturing purposes,
can be more cheaply furnished from the mines
penetrated by the Buffalo & Washington Rail
way than from Cleveland or Erie, as the
margin of lake freights from those ports to
Buffalo would be against them. The wants
of the West can be supplied from Buffalo at
cheaper prices for the anthracite, and at as
cheap or cheaper prices than front Plevcland
or Erie for the bituminous coal. -
8t Buffalo being the western terutihns of the
Erie Canal, receiving between fifty and sixty
per cent. of the surplus products oil the West
and Northwest, m )ved E astward to market,
has en extensive lake coma:Fem, but not an
evenly balanced trade, a. the large fleets of
vessels arriving from the West come with fully
laden cargoes, and thre!-fourths of them re
turn with note The coal will supply this
deficiency in the balance of trade.
" The Buffalo Mira of Trade report for
1864 states : fh rt during the navigation sea—
son ice tau year 0 958 - *easels of all aliases
arrived at Buffalo. having a tonnage of 3,421,•
767 tons ; and 7.147 vessels cleared, having a
tonnage of 3,450;581 tons. For want of re
turn carves rimy of these vessels ge to 'Erie
or Cleveland for coal, sailing 100 to 150 miles
off their direct course for the upper lakes, and
by BO doing frequently losing a favorable
wind and a consequent loss of a-trip or more
during the season of navigation."
What the Courier here says is to a very
considerable extent based upon a correct
theory of commercial transsetians. Buffalo
being the great point to which the grain trade
of the West is carried, it is plain to any one,
that if she could secure a certain and abund—
ant supply of coal to load vessels with on their
return trips, she, would at least serions'y
cripple the coal trade of Brie and Cleveland,
if not entirely destroy it. Looking at, the
advantages which this proposed road pre—
sents, we are not surprised that the capital—
ists of Buffalo shotad regard- it with fever.
Our wonder is that, with the characteristic
energy of New Yorkers, (would that we had
a little of it in Pennsylvania.) they did not,
long ago, foresee the importance of the route,
and secure the building of the road.
We call attention to these facts, in order
that our people may see that unless they ars
active, alert and enterprising, there is great
danger that we may yet lose the advantages
we have been in the habit of thinking. were
securely in our bands. With the completion
of this proposed Buffalo es Washington road,
and the 4. Cross-Cut " road, from Corry to
Westfield. will ensue a very considerable loss
in the elements of prosperity which now flow
into our city, unless is the meantime some
other channel of prosperity can be obtained
which will make up for the damage done to
our interests. This we oan secure by the di
rect route suggested to Oil Creek: which would
give us complete control of the valuable trade
of that section ; by the completion of grain
elevators at our harbor, making it an iodises
ment for vessels to stop here instead of at
Buffalo, and giving them the advantage of 200
miles of lake travel ; by erecting iron manu
factories, which our convenience of obtaining
coal and ore would reader so profitable an in
vestmeet ; and by increased attention to im
proving the city, building new stores and
dwelling houses, removing unsightly *Asti,
oleo, and otherwise rendering the place at
tractive to strangers.
It would be pertinent to ask of the Buffalo
es Washington railroad charter the same ques.
Lions we did in regard to thtt of the Cross-
Cut road. By what means was the consent
of the Pennsylvania Legislature obtained to
the incorporation of a oompnny whose avowed
object was to build a road benefitting New
York men and cities solely, to the Injury of
our own ? Where were our Erie county. Re.
presentative' at• the time, and what effort did
they make to prevent the oonsummtatioLor—*
measure plainly derived to damn° the in
terests of their constituents ? What Sort of
a welcome do our readers suppose, would have
bees given alluffato legisiotOr who wonid re.
tarn to that oily, after permitting. and per
haps voting in favor of, a bill calculated to
build up Erie at the expense of that comma
nity ? We run no risk in asserting that a peo•
ple more basely betrayed by those whose
linty it was to attend faithfully - to their inter
eats, does not exist anywhere in America,
than those of Erie city. Oar legislators,
instead of being men of clear business views
and patriotic pride in their locality, bare al
most without exception. been mere politicians,
who either did not have the shrewdness to
circumvent these movements, or did not care
to do so. If the people of this city find them
selves deprived of many advantages which of
right they ought to possess, the blame lies at
their doors. By permitting partidevotion to
overbite nee sound, judgment, they have nearly
invariably been represented at Harrisburg by
a class of mere political demagogues, tip
deeply engrossed in the welfare of the poor
negro, or the territorial question, or the Mor
mon delusion, or some other hobby, to hive
time to think of the Yinteiests• of Erie.. It
would be a blessing if every community in
the Union were as closely divided on polities
as is the cue in Franklin county in this State.
There each party is obliged to put up itn best
men, and self interest. as well as political,
obliges them to exercise a scrupulous care
over the legislation concerning their people.
