FINE PHILANTHROPY.— ON account of some
hitch in the exchanges, says the Now York
Herald, because the rebels dislike negroes,our
abolition philanthropists knowingly condemn
15,000 brave Union prisoners to starvation
nakedness and death. There's philanthropy
for you. It seems that white men have no
rights that abolitionists are bound to respect.
C3T As the dying soldier on the field of
Antietatn was endeavoring to turn his weary
thoughts to Heaven, the grating shout of a
ribald negro song fell upon his ears. Look
ing up to see who it was that shocked the
living and insulted the dead, he found Abra
ham Lincoln enjoying a vulgar melody in the
midst of that scene of gloom and suffering.—
God help the nation with such a ruhr !
C - Mr, Lincoln now plainly telfa the
d entry there shall be no peace except upon
the busiw of the abolition of slavpry. Why
then denounce Democrats as lying copper
heads whet they declare this is *n abolition
war ? Will the Loyal Leaguers enlighten
oa ?
Mr. Lincoln calls for 500,000 more
men to the slaughter, and at the same time
tolls them that "the government" will consent
to peace only upon a universal abolition ba
sis. Ioo,ooofree American citixens are there
fre plainly told what kind of service they
will be drafted to perform.
.
A Republican exchange still defies
public opinion, and exclaims : "All hail Lin
foln I"—The storm that is gathering over his
bead will he pretty nearly all had.
standing the immence danger thnt must cer
tainly retail from ihe renomination and re
flection of tny prcsdent.
But fellow citiaens, as there are other speak
era to follow me. I must not trespass too
much on vonr patience. One more point and I
shall releive yon We were told a few year*
since, as I mentioned a short time ago. that
we should have no party now; that we should
all join to put down'he rebellion,, and when
that was dona, we could talk about politics.
In other words, we were all to go together
until the Republican party become the only
party of the country, and then things would
go on smoothiy. You have doubtless heard
a great deal of this kind of talk. When the
leaders of (he Republican party first made to
us this no party proffer you recollect how it
was received. We met them half way. At that
time a Republican Congress declared a plat
form of principles' which wa* to govern the
conduct of this war. I refer to the Crittenden
war resolution. The Democratic rarty ac
cepted it. It was placed at the editorial head
of the leading Democratic papers throughout
the country. The Democracy, "we accept
that resolution ; we accept it even as a test
oi loyalty' if yot will; as a test of fidelity to
the country; as a test of prtriotism." We
stood by il; we stand by it to day. We did
more: we voted in Congrrss all the meu and
all the money asked for by the Administra
tion to carry on the war. We sertainly meet
them more then half way. But how were
we treated by these no,party men? As the
time for the election campaign came round
each veer, we found them oreaizing their par.
ty machinery, issuing their party circulars,
making their nominations, and all the time
talking about no party. Wh*t did it mean?
It meant, simply, ,'no party but the Republi
can party !" they may have pulled the wool
over our eye s for a short time but we have
got them open again.
They talked about holding "country above
party'' ;as if the Democrats had ever done,
otherwise than hold Countrj- above party; as
if our organization was not pieced upon the
Constitution ;as if we did not owe all our
success in the past to the fact that our party
was for the country and was the only party
that was for the country! "Country above
party"—that is our party creed; and I be*
lieve I but express the honest sentiment of
all those Democrats who like you, Mr. Presi
dent, have stood faithfully by their party
through good report and through evil report:
through darkness and storm and adversity as
well as in the sunlight of prosperity, wheu 1
declare that we have no attachment to or
party except so far as we deem it necessary
to the vindication of the Constitution, neces
sary to the restoration and preservation of
I the Union, necessary to the preservation of
the country to its former condition of great
ness and prosperity. Proud and glorious as
the history of that party has been, and as its
record is to day, I would see that history and
that record blotted out and forgotten, and
the glotious old party itself swallowed up in
oblivion if I believed that the restoration of
the Union to its old status and of the country
to its former happy and prosperous condition,
demanded such a sacrifice. But no, fellow
citizen®; we must now look for telief in this
dark hour of the nation's calamity to the sac
rifice of that party under whose counsels the
country became great and prosperous; the
Union, the admiration of the world; our sys
tem of Government, at once the pride of the
American citizen and the terror of the old
world royalists. From the temporary defeat
of that party in its vain struggle with section
alism and fanaticism in 1800, came war and
blood and carnage and death and desolation
and disaster—came a violated and trampled
Constitution—came the prostration of the
great writ of liberty, the peoples only protec
tion from arrest without warrant, and im
prisonment without crime—came the sup
pression of free speech, and of a free press—
came a reign of terror in this land of boasted
liberty—came taxation, to the full limit of
the people's endurance, upon everything we
eat, drink, wear, see, feel, smwll, own or pos
sess—cante an inheritance of national indebt
edness that will cause our children's children
to curse our memoty—and worse than all,
and with all, came a broken and shattered
Union. To the sncceas of that party in this
renewed contest with the same foe we now
look for the triumph of the Union, and "in
this sign we conquer."
—— 1
Joho Charles "Caved."
It ppears that Gen. John C. Fremont hat
caved in at last to Old Abe, although in his
letter of acceptance he distinctly asserted
| that "if Mr. Lincoln should be nominated, as
1 believe it would be fatal to the country to
indorse a policv and renew a p-wer which
; has cost us the lives of thousands of men and
i needlessly put the country on the road to
i bankruptcy, there will remain no other al-
I ternative but to organize against him every
element of conscientious opposition with the
| view to prevent the mislortunes of his elec
j tion." That is as e'e-vr and emphatic denun
ciation of the Administration as could he
: hurled by any Democrat in the land, yet
Fremont has not hail the firmness to stand
by his own words, but has had to yield to
powerful influences of the Administration
which in a thousand ways beset him and his
friends. In his lettet of .vithdr awal he still
maintains and asserts his contemptuous opin
ion of Lincoln. He says :" In respect to
! Mr. Lincoln I continue to hold exactly the
same sentiments contained in my letter of
acceptance' I consider that HIS ADMINIS
TRATION HAS BEEN POLITIC Al.l. V, MILITARILY
ami FINANCIALLY, a FAILIRE and that its
continuance is a cause of regret to the coun
try. A man holding sentiments l.ke these
towards the candidate he profeses to sup
port can be, to say the least, but a damaging
friend who cou'd be well spared. The World
at the close of an able article commenting
on the letter of Fremont's, holds the follow
ing language :
In the immediate political results the with
cvrawal of Gen. Fiemont w of no consequence.
llis canvass developed 110 strength. Had he
remained in the field his vote would have
been so ridiculously small as to have been to
bim a source 0# lasting mortification. His
retirement was a necessity forced upon htm
by his prid of personal character. That he
is for Lincoln is important only in its bearing
: on the extinction of political manhood In the

Resolved. , That in the future, as in the past, we
will adhere with unswerving fidelity to the Union
uuder the Constitution as the onlv solid foundation

ecnducive to the welfjfte and prosperity of all the
States, both Northern and Southern.
Resolved, That this Convention does explictly de
clare. as the sense of the American people, that af
ter for years ot failure to restore the Union by the
experiment of war, during which, uuder the [ re
tense of a military necessity or war | ower higher
than the Constitution, the Constitution itself has
been disregard.id in every part, and public liberty
and private right alike trodden down, and th ma
terial prosperity ot the country essentially impaired

demand that immediate efforts be made for a cessa
tion of hostilities with a view t) an ultimate Con
vention of all the States, or other peaceble means,to
the end that, at the earliest practicable moment,
peace may bo restored on the basis ot the Federal
Union of the States.
Reivlved , That the direct interference of the mil
itary authority of the United States in the recent
elections held in Kentucky, Maryland. Missourin
and Deleware- was a shameful violation of the
Constitution, and a repetition of such acts in the
approaching o ection will be held as revolutionary
and resisted with all the means and power under
our control.
Resolved, That the aim and object of the Dem
ocratic party is to preserve the Federal Union and
the rights of the States unimpaired ; and they

sentence of American citizens ill States, where civil
law exists in tull force, the suppiession of freedom of
speech and of the press, the denial of the right of
asylum, the open and avowed disregard of State
rights, the employment of unusual test oaths, ajd
the interference with and the denial of the right of
the people to Pear arras, as calculated to prevent a
restoration of the Union and the perpetuation of a
government deriving its just powers from the con
sent of toe governed.
Resolved , That the shameful disregard of the Ad

tn a suffering condition, doserves the severest rep

The following remarks on the subject of
the soldier vote we clip from the Jefferson
tan. We hope our friends who haTe soldiers
in Ihe army will not fail to attend to their
assessment and the sending of tickets to
thern. A few Democratic electoral tickets
for this State, will be found on the ma ginal
column of this paper. Cut them out and for
ward with the certificate and tax receipt to
all the friends of Little Mac in the army.
Ttie Soldier Assessment and Taxes.
We think it quite probable that many Mc
Clellan soldiers, in the army, will lose their
votes at the first election, by reason of the
neglect of their friends at home, in not at
tending to their proper assessment and the
payment of their taxes. A like result, at
the Presidential election, in November, should
be guarded against, and the sooner, the bet
ter. Wherever theie.has been neglect to
have the assessment made and tax paid, or if
in any case, the certificate of assessment and
tax receipt have proved fatally defective, by
reason of no stamp on the certificate, or oth
erwise. the matter should be immediately at
tended to and made right, either by a new
certificate, adding the 5 cent revenue stamp,
or whatever may he necessary to entitle the
soldier to his vote. We give the following
forms tnhich can be written or printed :
CERTIFICATE OF ASSESSMENT.
T, . Assessor of taxes, in the town
ship of , in the o intuy of and State
of Pennsylvania, do certify that, in pursuance of an
Act of Assembly of thie State, emitted '-An Act to
regulate elections ly soldiers in actual military ser
vice," approved August 25, 1864. J have, this day,
assessed a county tax of ten cents, for the year 1864,
on , a resident of said township, now a in
in company of the Regt., Penn
sylvania Volunteers. WITNESS my hand this
day of 1864.
Assessor.
TAX RECEIPT.
Received this day of 1864, by the hand
of the SUH of ten cents in lull of the with
in mentioned tax.
Collector.
For the within named township of .
The certificate of assessment should have
a five cent revenue stamp affixed upon it;
and when forwarding it and the receipt, to
the soldier, one or more McClellan and Pen
dleton electoral tickets should be enclosed
with it.
By the Act of Assembly alone referred to,
the tax can he paid either to the township
Collector, or to the county Treasurer.
The official term of the old Assessor, ex
pires, by law, on the day of the October elec
tion, when the term of the new one coalmen
ees, and the latter should, at once, enter upon
his duties, for he is liable to a [vnalty of not
less than twenty dollars, for neglecting, or
n-fusmg to comply with any of the require
ments of the Act referred to.
It is believed that the soldier who can
prove by his own oath, or otherwise, that has
paid a State or County tax within two years,
has a rk-ht to vote if in any respects quali
fied, without this special assessment; hut the
safer course is, to assess, Ac., under this Act.
Any of Pennsylvania soldiers, less than
ten in number, when "members of companies
of another State or Territory, or who, for any
sufficient or legal cause shall be separated,
from their proper company, or shall be in auy
hospital, navy yard, vessel, or on recruiting!
provost, cr other duty, whether within or
without this Sta'e, under such circumstances
as shall render it probable that he or they
will be unable to rejoin their proper compa
ny, or be present in his proper place of elec
tion, on or before the day of election, shal
have a right to vote" by proxy,— that is,
some time before election day, be must have
a proxy blank and envelope to be filled up
signed, aud witnessed by his commanding
! officer, or other witness, and in this he in
closes his folded ballot, and send the lettter
| '
to somo VOTER at his residence, who must

Note bit of it! No ahrewder, thrifti ar
people, in matters of money, exist on eerik. -
I Oar Jersey people and New England
afe a frugal, industrious people, but they can't
save money like the Germans. All Germany
is a great savings bank. It ia true that their
working men are not ao rich, on an average, u
onr working men, because they dou't get
more than one quarter of the wages 0 f oar
men. But a G rman can save moner, and
he knows when it is safe. Now these ahrewd,
, thrifty Germans want oar bonds. They'
wa.it them by millions. Tbey turn M id a
from the great beggars of the world in la
rope, and come to us Republicans. Thay treat
the notes of Napoleon and Joseph end Maxi
miliir wtth indifference, hot want to discount
all the American notes they can get. The
London Times says this is all wrong that
the Republicans in America are all bankrupt,
and that the Germans must becraxy to alight
British and French boggars, and go begging,
themselves, to America. Are they
We asked Poor Richard what he thought
about it, "Why," said he, "how can they be
crazy, when they are doing juat what I did a
little more than a year ago, wh;n I put mr
little savings into Government six per cents ?
Now see what I got by it; just count up. I
have received six per cent in gold, which av
eraged 100 per cent in currency, making 12
per cent income. Now, to day, my bond ia
salable in the New York market at 10 per
cent premium. Put these together, and to
day 1 have 22 per cent for one year's use of
my money ! What do you think of that 1—
Yo'i know, as well as I do, that there are
thousands of people who did this, and to day
t.iey have "22 per cent on their investments.
Why, I saw Miss Jones, our school mam, go
to the bank and buy a $4OO bond, llow she
got the money I don't know, but these Yan
kee schoolmistresses are firatrate hands at
taking care of themselves. Well, now, eount
up. If Miss Jonts sells her bonds to day
she gets her $5OO back safe, and she gets
$llO clear gain. Can you sharp fellows down
there in William street do any better? You
know I told Mr, Smith, the banker, my idea*
about that, and he bougbt.ss,ooo six per
cent bond*, and you see he got $l,lOO for a
year's use of his money. I met him the oth
er day, and he said, "Poor R'chard, you are
right; 1 begin to think the Government can
take care of itself, and us too. For my part,
I mean to buy some of the 7.30'a. The rata
of interest ia high enongh, and in three years
they will turn into six percent bonds again."
"Yes, Mr. Smith, it is right, on the money
side; but, it it . ight on tne country's sidt 100.
Help your conn try, or it can't help you. Now,
I say the Germans are not only right, but
they would be right if they got half that n
terest. They cannot make a quarter of it at
home." So thought Poor Richard, and so
think we. When we think of the German
opinion of our situation and our financial
strength, we must remember that thry are far
better judges of our condition than wt arw,
or our enemies are. They arc lookers on, at
a great di6tar.ee. They have none of our cn
mities or prejudices. They can examine the
facts disinterestedly. Thej do; and the re
sult is a verdict that tho American Govern
ment i* stable—tlx ability and integrity in
meeting its financial engagements unques
tionable. This verdict, too, is founded on a
Rerics of facta which are unimpeachable, aa
well known to every intelligent American.—
Take two or three of the most important: 1.
The United States doubles its population each
twenty five years. The population of tho
country which in ISSO was twenty-three mil
lions, will in 1875 he forty six millions.—
But the rebellion ! says setne one. Ilow
much has the rebvllion diminished the
strength of tho United States? Take thia
astonishing fact, that if all the Rebel States
hsd been sunk in the Pacific Ocean, the Uni
ted States would in 1875 have a population
equal to that of the whole in 1860. in other
words, fifteen years will supply the total lots
of the eleven original Rebel Statca ! What
can impede the p r ogrea of auch a country 7
2. The wealth of the country increases 117
per cent in ten yeara ! Now let it incteaao
but 80 from 1800 to 1870, and it will amount
to ten limes all the loans of the Government.
The German knows what be is about. Ha
will get the largest income from louns in the
world, on the safest security. No auch op
portunity has occurred before for the invest
ment of money, and in all probability will
never occur again. If the American does not
know and take advantage ot this, the German
and Frenchman will.— Ex.
