Who gRVIJ flint . 01.1111011 7 It couldn ' t have been any soldier's friend. It must have been some rebel sympathizer. Captain. Ton are correct. It was George N.V. Woodward. In contending for imp right to vote, Messrs. Longstreet and Whar ton had used their argument: Why should the bravo vAinteer be de nied the priv.ilege and facilities of voting? Is lie less intelligent ; less honest than those who stay a t home ? is it against the spirit of our institutions that he should lave those titeiliti l iis . eitended to him, or dues public policy demand his disfranchise ment? ? W hy, then. this attempt to annul the t.tatute securing to him these rights? Neither the Constitution, the spirit of our institutions, nor public policy demand it. Judge Cunningham had used a similar ar gument. In replying to it, WoOdWard took occasion to fling at tis.stteli insults as these : -Tho 48d : section "opens a wide door for most odious fraud ;" that is, we can't act as right citizens because We are soldiers I' 'Again 4 "ro scenic purity 'of election; it (the Con stitution) . woald. have its voters in the place where they aro best known on the day of the efealmi-". that is we arc not as pure iuitbOse atimper---ca,n't be trusted, to do right abroad I Now my lads, I tell you, that is infaluous.

For, while,they went in for the whole coun ' try, he had particular leanings for the'South ; while they stood by freedom, he went in for slavery; while they shouted with Old Hickory, " The Union, it must be preserved," he was for changing and mending it to suit the bolds of Virginia, and South Carolina, and Georgia, and other places in the sunny South. Sergeant. Hold on, captain; I think you are a little too hard on Woodward. Have you got the record for what you say Captain. That] have! Here it is in black and white. Here is a speech which he read " at the great Union meeting in Philadel phia, December 13, 1860.'' Sergeant. Is it genuine ? Captain. See. It was printed at the Age Aloe in 1863, and was scot out by Charley Biddle, Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, on the 10th of Septem ber, 1863. Now, let us see what, he says. On page 0 he ~..11., The South seems inclined to accept the judgment of the people at the pulls in IStio. .Everywhere in the South the people begin ning to look out for the means of self-defence. Could it be expected that they would' be in ,different to such events as have iiceurred ? that they would be idle and see 'measures concerted and carried iorward for the anni hilation, sooner er later, of their property in slaves. Such expectatiens, if indulged, are not reasonable. And it appear:, to Inc that therii !oust be a time in the progre,s of this conflict, if it be indeed irrepressible, when slaveholdcrs may lawfully fall inch uu their ma twat right,, and employ in lit•rellet , of their sieve proprriy whateve'r mean, of pro tectiun they po.-,e, or Call eol.l4lllalld.

By-the-Lye, while on that point, I - remember a book we found at Frederick,i burg, called '• for the South, or he Failure of Free Society, by George Fitz 'ugh, Richmond, Va., 1851." "We deem this peculiar question of nrgro slavery of very little importance. The issue is made throughiint the world on the igener al subject of shivery in the abstract." Ham, a son of Noah, was condemned to slavery, and kis posterity Idler him- We do riot adopt the theory that he was the ances tor of the negro race. The Jewish slaves were hot negroes, and to confine the justifi cation of - slarry to that race would be to weaken its Scriptural authority, and to lose the whole woightof profane authority, for we read of no negro slavery in ancient times." And ho adds, page. 225 "Slavery, black or white, is right and nec- essary." Corporal. To this it comes in the end ; in other words, just what Woodward sa r ys. „Yes, and the substance of what every Copperhc'ud sari.

Corporal. That's tough, after all we have suffered and done; but I suppose that is ex actly what the Chicago Convention means by an "armistice" and "suspension of hostilities." It would be a great idea, boys, when a fel low breaks into your house to rob and mur der, and you get him knocked over, and just need to give him a few more knocks, to al low him to get up, recover, and at you again. That would be an “armistice," "a suspen sion of hostilities," but I rather think we can't go it. • Private. No, no. We'll fight it out now; and, when we atop, have a sure thing of it— a peace forever. We don't want patch-work now. Sergeant. I'll 64 Vo up Woodward, that's sure. But we have got off the track, Cap tain. Finish that account of thO soldier's voting. Captain. Well, Woodward's decision was given in May, 1862. The Copperheads re juiced. The Republicans and Union men determined to stick by us, and have the-Con stitution so amended as to g,ive'ris the right to vote, without regard to Woodward's opin ion. Accordingly on the 22d of Janitary, 1863, Mr. Johnson, n Republican, offered in the Senate a joint resolution, to amend the Constitution for this purpose. Mr. Bene dict., a Republican, from Huntingdon coun ty, did the same in the House, on the sth of February. This resolution was You know, by our Constitution, it had 'to I e acted on by a second Legislature. It came up. therefore, in this year's sessions. It was befire the Senate on the 9th of March, 1854.

[Cheers.] This is not a bare asser tion. They do not rejoice in the -victories won. No, but they "sympaihize':with the soldiers who are standing under the old flag, 'and on the battle-field. Well, they. might as well sympathize with horses that stood on the battle-tleld, for the horses would care as much about it as the soldier.; ; and the mules, too. I don't know but the mules would have kicked up their heels at their sympathies for the soldiers, too. The language of that resolution is simply impudent; it is simply abuse. It is simply cowardly, and means disgrace. With the outward tongue it speaks in accents of affec tion, but inwardly of the traitor• "We sympathize with our soldiers." We don't rejoice with them that their patriotism called them forth to uphold that banner. We don't sympathize with the brave that have gone forth to die. We don't glory in anything they do. We don't say their cause is just; we don't thank them. We simply pity them. Then what? Don't trust me for these words, for although they are ground in my memory, and burned into my brain. I won't ask you to trust to my memory. "In the event 'of our coming into power, they (the soldiers) will receive all the care, protection, -and regard that the soldiers of the Repub lic have earned." If they come into power which they are after—they wi•l protect and -send them-to, their homes t -torsin /10 , 1110r0 by hiking up arms against their Southern breth ren. They shan't be punished because they dared to fight agairst Jeff. Davis. They shan't be put into prison ; there shan't any harm come upon them ; ;hey will protect them and send them out of danger. We want their votes, and we must be kind to them. And as the devil promised what did not belong. to him, and what he could not. give to Christ, these fellows promise their protection ; and as that distinguished gen-' ileman was cast out of heaven into the lower regions, a similar fate awaits the Chicago fellows. Look at the naked infamy at tempted to be practised on the people by the passage of this resolution. They want the ordinary reader to suppose that they intenl to compliment the soldiers for do ing what they have done. But they don't mean any sue]] thing. If they had meant it, why could they not have said : "\\'e tender our thank: to our brave sol diers who have been upholding our flag against armed rebellion ?•' They could not say it, because the train'-s: did not mean it. Captain. That's sharp talk. 'Corporal. Yes ? but just. What do we want with the sympathy of 'such men, as composed the Chicago Convention'? That s Nair stuff for soldiers. Private. We don't forget the votes of that part of them who were in Congress. Llad their wishes or policy-been carried out, we woud. have been without ration, with out clothing, without shelter, without medi cines, without hospitals—under the sod, most of us. SYMPATHY I We never get even that until voting time. Major, your Governor understands Intl Lora. Sergeant. By the ,way, what floes the Baltimore platform say on that subject? Major. I think I have it. Here it is. “Resolved, That the thanks of the Atheri can people are due to the soldiers and sailors of the army and navy who have perilled their lives in defence of their country, and in vin dication of the honor of the flag ; that the nation owes to them sonic permanent reeog nition of their patriotism and their valor, and ample and permanent provision for those of the survivors who have received disabling and honorable wounds in the service of tile country ; and that the memories of those who have fallen in its defence shall he held in grateful and everlasting remembrance.” Captain. Boys, that, hes a different ring. You get thanks there, and are to be rein-in hered fur your noble deeds—not pitied. Your wounds and scars are considered honorable in that resolution ; and you are to be hand ed down to the future, nut as objects of sym pathy, but of care, if ever your wants and condition require it, and of honor and glory under alleireumstances. What a difference! Major. Well, out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh, the pen writes, and resolutions flow. PART IX OPINIONS AND ARGUMENTS FROM ALI QU A RT E RS. Captain. And that is another argument against :;11eClellan. The very president of the coilirbntion that nominated him—the great talker and plito nor of that convention— couldn't allow the bill giving New York eoldiors the right to vote to go along with out vetoing it. If Mac dont't feel and think like Seymour, he paver woold have touched him. Lieut. Colonel. Well, that closed-up question. Men only shout on and uphold those ye hosb sentiments and aims are like their, own. Virtue admires virtue I vice atickt to vide ; devils praise devils ; unfallen angels adore God ;'.disloyalty' worships dis loyalty ; patriotism eulogizes patriotism.

Stephens, rebel Vice Presi dent says, in his recent letter, that this is a "cruel and remorseless war." This is un doubtedly true. But how could it be other wise? In the inscrutable order of the uni verse slavery found footing, on till; 6tintinont; and imbruted the character of the southern people. Opposing it at first, they came at length to adore the institution with an abso lute idolatry, and they practised without re morse the horrid cruelties which it naturally engendered. They sent ships with brutalized crews to drag the unfortunate victims from their African homes, to toil without reward or hope on southern plantations. Row the poor slaves were stinted, and driven, and scourged we need not reiterate. When it is known that tlie planters of Louisiana delib erately calculated that it was better to work the slaves to death in a short term of years, and renew the stock by continual purchases, we may from some faint conception of the baneful influence of slavery over the human heart. Whilst the bondman was degraded to the level of a submissive brute, his master's violent instincts became unavoidably excit ed, and•he often displayed a tiger-like fero city. It was impossible that men could use the lash daily on unretitiating, men and women without becoming "cruel and remorseless." Even had the slaves been well fed and clad, with comfortable lodgings and the allowance of don estic affections, the infliction of daily turtufe to insure the, reatest amount of task work must be a terrible example to place be fore the eye of the planter's Jeffer , son, himself a slaveholder. described the evil vividly and deplored it with a deprecating forecast. No wonder the young whites were early tyrants, and carried their ferocity be yond plantation limits ; no wonder the duel became an institution, and street assassina tion so common that it ettaSed to excite sur prise or reprobation. Of course such people were "cruel and remorseless" even in peace ful linies ; and to what a pitch their fury might arise w hen they become combatants in war, we have seen clearly enough by the light of a thousand fiendish outrages, from the desecrated graves of Bull Run to the in human massacres of Lawrence end Fort Pillow. Savages could do no worse. The scene around Fort Henry in the ante-revolu tionary days, or those on the river Rusin in our second war with Great Britian, present no spectacle more horrid and revolting. In thus assuming that to the southern par ticipants in this war are chiefly duo the acts which make it "cruel and remorseless," we claim no peculiar virtue for our northern ' people. They, as well as southern people, are what circumstances have made them.— We got rid of the debasing and hardening institution many years ago, whilst the south hugged it to its bosom because it was deemed profitable. Tints the slaveholder became a hard and cruel man, practicing the gainfutin iqui ty, and becoming so hostile to his fellow countrymen who had abolished it, that he set upon innocent persons merely because of their northern birth, killing, torturing and robbing many of them oven before the rebel Congress declared war against us. We might justly, for such atrocities alone, have had re course to arms. But wo forebore, and with p, degree of patient endurance that claims commendation from every disciple of peace; we waited to ace if some avenue of escape 'inight'not ho opened to us. Only when to multiplied private wrongs of this discriptitin was added armed and organized rebellion against the supreme authority did we rally to save the republic itself from destructio'.

In giving to the public the following im-. pressive and timely letter from the most indo- . fatigable and influential British vindicator of our National struggle for existence, HIS fit -- that we should say that it was in no mariner -- solicited or invited. While we for thirteen years have personally known and honored JOUN BRIGHT, we have had little correspon dence with him, and have never sought there by to enlist his sympathies in the cause of the Union. But he is a tirM believer in the jue-. tice, safety, and beneficence of Human Free dom ; he knows that our slaveholdcrs' revolt is en aristocratic uprising against democratic light and liberty; and his heart is wholly with us because he realizes that our success is the triumph of humanity and Progress. We ask special attention to what he says of the identity in Great Britain of 'the Rebel sympathizers with the advocates of McClel lan's election. Let every hearty Unionist, of whatever name or sect, weigh well these words of the foremost of British Reformers : —N. Y. Pribunc. ROCHELLE, Oct. 1, 1864. DEAR SIR: For more than three years, the people of this country have watched, with a constant interest, the progress of the great conflict in which your people have bean en gaged ; and, as you know, some have rejoiced over the ternperary'success of the enemies of your Government, and some have deeply.la men ted them. -At this-moment,_we turn _our_ey : Ps rather to the political than to the military struggle and there is with us, the satne difference of opinion and of sympathy, as regards your coming Presidential Election, that has beon manifested is connection with your contest in the field. All those of my countrymen who have wished. well to the rebellionovhahave hoped fur the break-up of your Union, whola - ve preferred to see a Southern Slave Empire than a restored and free Republic, so far as I can observe, are now in favor of the election of Gen. McClellan. All those who have de plored the calamities which the leaders of Secession have brought upon your country, who believe that Slavery weakens your pow er acct tarnishes yuur good narne thioughout the world, and who regard the restoration of your Union as a thing to be desired and prayed for by all good men, sQiiitrzas Lean—, judge, are heartily longing for there-election of Mr. Lincoln. Every lriend Of your Un ion, perhaps, in Europe, every speaker and. writer who has sought to do justice to your cause since the war began, is now hoping, with an intense anxiety, that Mr. Lincoln way be placed at the head of your Executive for another term. It is not because they believe Mr. Lincoln to be wiser and better than all other mon on your continent, but they think they have ob served in his career a grand simplicity of purpose, and a patriotism which knoWs no change and which does not falter.
