TUE PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOR .PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
HARRISBURG, PA
MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 14, 1864.
.investigating conamitteem.
We are just as ready to denounce a fraud
committed on the Government as any jour
nalist in the country—tinkWe have gone as
fares the most zeal Ons, bondemning those
in authority, when public - Voice hais point
ed totheir derelietiim. - But : We wish to'risk`
seriously, what are the benefits Willa haVe
been conferred on the country by the differ
ent Congressional and Legislative committees
whoiteltrvestigstions are daily being laid be
fore the world ? These committees, partic
ularly when their attention .is directed to
officers in command in the Reit, constitute a
source of , annoyance,to our fighting men, in
nine „ea.sesorkt of ten t 'more dariger9o.s than
are the armed foeS of the nation. The teiti
mouy before such bodies is always a - jarring,
discordant mass of crimination and recrimin
ation—witnesses broadly contradicting, each
other—until theveracity of good men is phieed
in contlict—and the summing up of the evi
deuce results in the failure to convict any
body-----in fact to do anything but waste
immense'sruns of money' in paying:ths'feeS
of witnesses, printing - the reports, and 'scan
dalizing the nation at. large. The evidence in
the case of Major-General Meade is in point.
Serious charges were preferied against this
gallant, soldier. pose were sustained by
men who fought bravely by his side while
they were at, the same Hine flatly contra
dieted by other officers who fought as
bravely with their accused leader. Now,
what are sensible men to think of such
proceedings? What are the men'in the ranks
of the army, to think of such investigations?
They impress the nation, the world and our
brave boys who endure fire and sword, the
weary march and the cheerless bi - Couaelt,`with
disgust. If wrongs are committed, let the
proper tribunals take in hand and punish the
offenders. It is not necessary that Congress
should. organize itself into a Court of 4uarter
Sessions, for the trial of dishenest contract:3'ra;
or that it should form 11 ourt Martial for"the 3:11-
vestißition of charges against militaryofficers,
ItOotigress attends to its legitimate business,
it icti: have more labor to discharger than
most of its members are capacitated'for. If
it legislates for the good of the nation, and
frames - wholesome laws for the punishment
criminals and delinquents, there • are those
outside of its halls who'will see that they are
enforced.
A Legislator on the
Benjamin Franklinlleyers, the editor of the
Bedford Gazette, (one of the vilest and most in
'letrant copperhead sheets in the, Common
wealth,) is also a member of the Legislature..
Irthis leisure moments, (and they are numer
ous,) he amuses 'himself by- writing letters
froin - tlie "liouseof Representatives," to the
Getzelie, ft:enrol:lc of which productions we ex
traot th,e, following: ;..
There is• quite a flutter, just 'now, among
the '!ltepublican" Abolition politicians. They
are• divided into three factions, the Chriazi,
Lincoln and Fremont parties. The war be
twe'dn the Chasites and. the Lhleolnits is grow-
ing very .bitter, and the whole Abolition
Presidential imbroglio is 4 % very pretty quar
rel as it stands." The Democracy areunited,
harmonious and determined. . "There is a
better day coming,. wait a: little longer."
When Benjamin' pienned the foregoing, -
he knew that he was.writing-t an untruth, but
thehnnger of his readers for'whatis false and
vile ipAnced. him, doubtless, to concoct the
lie. That the 'Union men of Pennsylvania, and
hereabouts particularly, are united and harmo
nious,is what troubles the bowels of such bipeds
as ifeyers. That the loyal men of the Legisla
titre are undivided in favor of Mr. Lineoln, is as
palpable as the fact that they are devoted to
the 'Union.' And yet - there is oue who occu
pies .'seat on the floor Of :that Rouse, -who in
the presence of this unanimity, deliberately
occupies himself with. writing falsehoods to
the reitders.ot a journal,!of which he is 4 the
controller, • to" serve the dirty purposes of his
colleagues of his side of the House deceit , -
;ng _the people. Is it to be W.:lnd:eaA. at thap
the People are losing faith in' the nioi-alitk of
of many of our legislators?
THE LEOISLiTORE OP NEN XORK,has decided
to enlarge their Capitol building to meet the
increasing wants of the State Government.
This reminds' us that the ''''''' Gov
ernment of Pennaylvania, both 'aiectitivedz
, an
IttLislatiVe, cleinand a . similar enlargement of
ouriCapitol building: The increased'labors
of the different departments have made it ne
oesiary to employ
.additional ; clerical force—
whileilii3:Voming -Ant° Operation of military
departments whose duties, before the war,
- were merely norainid, comPietelY crowd the
Capitol building' with.::l%usiiiess, taking up
rooms which were heretolbre-imed exclusively
by Committees, and ` -forcing •'committees to
meet in the Library rooms, or the transaction
of their business. It is ardently hoped by
those who have the' publiC intereit sincerely
at heart, that the Legislature ' will adjourn
without providing for this great want of room
to accommodate the different departments.
Indeed the highest interests. depend for aucL
eess upon such enlarged Lie - Bides for the

The Cottititutfintal. Amendinenti...heno_
tor Johnsori.
The right of the soldier to vote—the right
of the soldier to be represented in the Govern
ment, involvcs a question of the most vial
importance. The original colonists, who
pioneered the newly-formed. States through
the rough battle fields. of the Revolutionary
war, folight for identically. the same principle
for which the friends of the soldiers now eon
tend. The colOnists, while contributing to
the success and the glory of the mother coun
try, deemed that they had a right to represen
tation—a right to participate in the control of
a government of which they were so impOrt
ant a portion. We all knot what followed the
refusal to acknowledge . €4l right. From its
rejection sprang
,the mighty_Republic which
is now filled with a clissenkon on identically
the same - question. ' A Class at the South,
Which has assumed• 0 itself aristocratic attri
butes, have long declared that there =was too
much representation in the Government—
that the irresponsible masses had, too much
control in affairs of State—and hence to crush
the idea of free government, the Southern
aristocracy resolved, and for three years have
waged 'a war for the introdUction of slaiery, and
the degradation of free labor in all the States.
Acting with the .aristocracy in the South,
,(which jethe only element of the influence
which monarchial Europe left in the Ameii
can Stites, after its rule was.broken therein,)
we have a party here in the Ninth, seeking to
parry out the 'original idea of disfranchis
ing the masses. they, started the experiment
by attempting to disfranchise the soldier.
If they could outlaw the soldier, as it
were, by disfranchising him, the path to the
disfranehisement of the citizen would be con
siderably shortened. If they could degrade
the defenders of the Government by refusing
them citizenship, they would Soon render our
institutions tea worthless to be defended, and
thereby make certain the conspiracy to over
throw and destrOy the Government. ThiS is
just the light mwhich to view this question of
enfranchising the:soldier. ..llnt..we did not
commence to u - rite, this article- for the pur
pose of' discussing the subject, of the soldidrs'
right to vote. We rather took up our pen to
point to the very able speech of Senator John
son, published on our outside of this after
noon. Senator Johnson: may be justly re
garded as ' the champien of the miuciple
involved in the question of the soldiers' right
to vote, as it was he who introduced the
amendment to the Constitution. His ad
vocacy, of that amendment has been per
sistent and -eloquent; and the speech which
we 'publish this .afternoen, though brief, is
very powerful
nevertheless a very powerful defence, of his
,
Prineiples. We trust that the soldiers who
are now present in the capital, Will not fail to
read this speech. Our brave defenders are
here to note the proceedings on
,this great
measure of justice and of right. By/he vote
on the passage •of this amendment they can see
that every Democrat but one. either voted against
or dodged the question..

the, death of Col. Samuel C. Stambaugh. He
died at his residence ; neer-L-grica.ster city, on
the morning of - the 11th" inst. Col. S., at One'
time, filled a large place in the political his
tory of the country, and few men of equal po

Wag a genial, Warta-hearted man, and a true
friCud... In social life he was respected alike
by political.friends and opponents. The last
offleial position he was under President
Buchanan, as Surveyor;of Utah. - In his early
manhood, he was 00tmected with the press of
Pennsylvania and-Washington city, and was,
we believe, a practical printer.
The Springfield (Ill.) Register, upon the au

statement nOW going the rounds of the con
servative press; to the effect that Gen. Fre

.the - yresicleney, "a deliberate falsehood."
According to the .hegister, Gen' Singleton as

to Gen. Fremont was - employed by him.

"Hon. 'Wm. Whiting, Solicitor of the War

would have brought him the stated sum of

country. He is probably-the ablest authority
on State and international law in the cotmtry,
and his disinterested:action is worthy of uni

The Putiiic Schools of larrisbri}g.
EDITOR :—Sume days ago I .handed4O
the local editor of the Patriot and Union . the
following communication,which promptly ap';
peered in its columns:
"Oun Commas Scsoats.----The common
school system of our State is one of her
proudest monuments. She has reason to con
gratulate herself upon its excellence, and can
look with honest 'pride upon what it has al
ready accomplished. One of its admirable
features is that, whilst it is adapted to all sec--
tions of the State, and capable of practical
and profitable application to sparsely settled
and poorer districts, it is at the same time sPe
cially suited to meet the educational wants of
larger towns and cities; and, when properly
developed and applied, -secures, at the very
lowest rate of expense, the very best education
al facilities for the entire population_
That these excellencies of the system have
not been illustrated in our own cityla no
fault- of the system itself, but is owing mainly
to two causes: . first, an unwarrantable, and
unreasonable prejudice against-the system on
the part of some of our leading citizens; and
secondly, to a-defect:lto developement and up
.plication Of the system ink the Parkof
entrusted with its management in our com
munity. Were it not for. the influence of
these causes "we should now have our common
selibolti thoroughly graded, the primary
schools reduced in size and - supplied with
truly capable teachers, and we should have
one male and one female high school, to which
our wealthier citizens, wilo are now paying
their school taxes for;nothing, cotdd send their
children without Any further' expense.
11:ie opinion is indeed entertained by game
among us that such carefully graded schopls,
culminating in a male and feneale high aehool
for the entire city, have elsewhere proved - a
failure. Wihave Veen at some pains to as
.oertain the facts in the ease, and have. ob
tained permission from the present Superin
tendent of Common Schools of our State, C.
IL Coburn, Esq., to lay before your readers
several communications on this subject, which
he has received from some of the leading ed
ucators of the land, in answer to interrogato
ries addressed to them by him, in consequence
c. otir representation to him -of the present
condition of the schools in our •
A CHRISTIANPARENT.'
In your evening issue of the same day, you
noticed this item of your "morning cotempo
rary," and expressed your deep interest in the
subject proposed fo_.r , discussion promising to
watch the course - o articles alluded to, and,
as.you might, find them interesting, print such
°Whom for the benefit of Your readers, as you
might have room to insert in your columns.
My second article for the Patriot , and Union
was, however, declined, in the next morning's
issue,in - the following paragraph:
"o
.cnutESlhtnllhaixs, —lt would afford us
much pleasure to acomruodate "A Christian
Parent, but he asks more room than wo can
possibly spare in our limited department. The
object he has in view is a good one, but it seems
to us that the proper place to agitate the subject
would be in the meetings of the board of school
directors, -who have. the matter entirely in
their own hands."_
To this I ieplied, iu tho neat issno, as fol
lows:
Borrow.—l um glad talcum that you
approve of the object I have in view in calling
public attention to' .the defective adminia' tra
tion of common school affairs in our city, and
am sorry to learn:that thelengtii of my second
communication has deterred you from its
publication. Please assign me a space, how
ever limited, in your columns, and 1 - will eu
deavor to, keep 'strictly within the. prescribed
limita Be assured that very many of your
readers feel interested in this question..-4d...
desire its Ventilation. I must beg. leave -re
spectfully to dissent from the. opinion that the
school directors "have the matter entirely in
their own hands." Are "they.not ppublic ser
vants; and responsible to those who atipoint
the% to office? Have we nci - right to chsciss
publicly and freely their mode of aiimin' istering
the trust confided to theni.? You surely spoke
inadvertently, Mr. Editor, and 'I cannot be
lieve, that, upon reflection, you will exclude
from your columns a calm and friendly discus
sion of this topic, so vital to the interests of
the whole community, and ia which every
property holder,has a personal stake. If you
should nevertheless decide adversely to my
wishes; r will be' doubly disappointed; for I
perceive that the other daily paper proposes
to transfer at least the substance of my re
. marks to itS columns, and in that case the
facts and reasonings would reach the readeis
of both-papers ; • who are all equally interested,
or should be. in this, which is no party quaq
tiou. A CHRISTIAN PARENT."
And to this note the Editor. .appended the
following reply;
'We repeat, that we:regard the objectaimed
at 'by "A Ohnstian Parent"as one of the high.:
• est importance, and heartily approve of his
views. Our only objection was to the great
length of his second communication. If, in
the discussion of the subject, he will confine
himself 'Within reasonable bounds, our columns
are at his disposal "
My second` communication, however,- after
beingset.up, was ordered. by the proprietor
to be set aside ; and now, in •his absence from
town, the editor declines assuming any fur
ther responsibilityin the matter.
I turn to you, Mr. Editor, hoping that, if
you will be itind enough to lay these well
meant and unpretending statements• and re
' flections-before your readers, the proprietor
'of the other journal will soon discover that
!there is nothing in them but truth ; and ',just
such truth as the great Mass. of his readers
desire to 'mow. • -
