At the end of the first Congress in the first term of the administration of Andrew Jackson, he found himself surrounded by at least a dozen parties all headed by aspirants to the Presiden cy, and all intent on damaging the old hero for kre-election. Indeed, it was at the very beginning of the fight which afterward resulted in such a bitter struggle between Calhourf and Jackson, and which, in fact, culminated by the former attempting his grand nullification scheme. History records how signally Calhoun failed in his effort to nullify the federal laws- The effect Which nullification has left upon the nation, however, is seen in the influence of rebel lion as it now rages in the slave States. But it Is not to- nullification that we now desire to call the attention of the reader. We only referred to that scheme incidentally to showthat the MOO of ribellion originated where its fury new rages, in the slave States of the South. What we par ticularly &aired to allude to in referring to the period at the close of Jackson's first Congress, is the fact, that a movement then commenced in the Pennsylvania Legislature, having in view the re-nomination of Andrew Jackson as a candidate for re-election to the Presidency. At that time the representatives of the people felt that Old Hickory was the only man who could suc cessfully carry out the policy fixed upon as es sential to the safety of the Union and the integ rity of the Government. Hence the Republi cans of the Pennsylvania Legislature, on, the 29th of March, 1830, united in signing a cir cular letter, addressed to Gen. Jackson, urging upon him the necessity of permitting the use of his name as a candidtste for re elec tion to the Presidency. Indeed, the letter of 1820 went even farther than this, by declaring that— 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ° "If the voice of Pennsylvania. which has recently bran promi nently and effactively exerted in the election of our present distingaished chief magistrate, can have influence, it will, as heretofore, he exerted In Influencing you [Jacksonl to per mit your name and distinguished services again to be presented to the American people." 0. a 0 0 0 History haa recordifd, in glowing language, the events which followed this movement on the part of Pennsylvania, in 1830. It was the means of exerting an influence upon which Jackal:ln won Copular favor as to render . him almost the idol of the people, He became, in faot, the people's candidate. Patties and partisans, anxious to maintain their influence and position, rallied to thesupport of Old Hick ory, and. his re-election was made an ovation . such as never before or since attended the po litical progress to power of any man controlling the destinies of the nation. Almost thirty-forir years since the period when the staunch Republicans of the Pennsyl vania Legislature urged on Old Hickory the use of his name as a candidate for re-election to the Presidency, the loyal men of that body have urged upon another Chief Magistrate of the United States the use of his name also for re-eleothin to the Presidency. When Jackson was asked to become a candidate for re-election it was at the close of the first Congress of his Administration. The people had carefully watched his course. The Representatives of the people in the State Legislature had also watched the career of the President, and hence Pennsylvania led the way in the re•noml• nation of Andrew Jackson, and was followed in that course by the people of all the States in the Union. And now Pennsylvania, through her Representatives in the Legislature, takes the lead in the re-nomination of Abraham Lin coin. The circumstances under which these Representatives do this are precisely the same under which their predecessors in the same body re-nominated Jackson. Lincoln has been as fairly tried as wits Old Hickory. Abraham Lincoln is, to-day, regarded as emphatically the favorite and leader of all loyal men, as was Jackson that of the Republicans in 1830, or Clay of the once proud and powerful Whig party. After having filled two years of his first term, the people at the election which followed, enthusi astically endorsed Jackson. The same has been the case with Mr. Lincoln. He has not' only been endorsed as a man of integrity, pure and patriotic in his motives, but the most radical features of his administration find their appro val in the fact that a decided majority in the popular branch of Congress was elected dis tinctly to uphold and secure the full success of every principle of that policy. No man has ever bean as fretly heretofore endorsed. No statesman, elevated to power almost from the ranks of the people, has heretofore achieved a like success. And now, as if fully to establish not only the policy, but to continue for another administration, the rule of Mr. Lincoln, the people and their Representatives are everywhere announcing their inflexible purpose to re elect Abraham Lincoln, at the proper time, Preeident of the United States. And now in compliance with declared public preference, and in respect for the judgment and loyalty of the people,we place, to-day,at the head of our columns, the Mime of Abraham Lincoln for re-election to the Presidency. Oar readers are aware that such has been our choice from the beginning, but we were willing to bide our time for the justification which the people have offered us for placing the name of Mr. Lincoln at the head of our columns. Henceforth, until November next, we are resolved to leave no.honorable efforts untried to secure the tri umphant election of the people's choice for the Presidency. It requires no convention to rat ify his Abraham Lincoln is the peo• flee choice, and that he will be re-elected President, u just as certain as the fact that he has faithfully deals( his country. —ln this connection, we trust that our read ers will carefully peruse the letter of" congratu iation, signed by'the Union men of the Penn sylvania Legislature, and addressed to Abraham Lincoln, which we publish to-day. The Representatives of the People Ti!! „RESIDENTIAL QUESTION!! PENNk YLVAN IA IN FA TOR Or THE Be-Eleotion of Abraham Lincoln I T following circular letter, signed by al e Union men in the Pennsylvania Leesla are, will be read with eatiefaction by all the truly loyal Union men in the nation To Ms Exeellency,AßßAXAM LINCOLN, . President°, the United Stake Baca Sta : —The ands Signed, Members of he Legislature of Pennsylvania, thus early in he session of that body, hasten to congratu late You on the success of the policy of the National Administration, and the auspicious circumstances under which the second Congress of your term has bean organized. When it is fairly considered that the policy of your Ad ministration was made the lame in the late electioni—when it is known that in the contest for the most important State, as well as the, most insignificant municipal office, the issue involved all the essential principles of the policy of your Administration, the result must be the more highly appreciated by the friends of freedom abroad, and cheering to the de fenders of freedom, the Union and the Constl- triton at home. We would be unmindful ce the duty we owe our country, if woheettated to acknowledge the force of th st polity in the elections which placed us in our present legis lative positions. When fearlessly advocated and set before the people, it won us victory in the face of the most persistent and bitter oppo sition from the foes of free government. You need net be reminded of the effect which the late election in Pennsylvania had on the des tiny of the nation. The triumph at the ballet box aroused the ardor, and seemed to breathe fresh valor into the hearts of our soldiers, for the achievement of victory oft the battle field. And if the voice of Pennsylvania became thus potential in endorsing the policy of your Ad ministration, we consider that, as the repteeen tativas of those who have so completely en dorsed your official course, we are only respond ing to their demands when we thus publicly announce our unshaken preference for your re election to the Presidency in 18(34 The hope and the life of the American people are now centered in the purpose and the effort of the Government to crush rebellion. In more than two years of struggle we have discovered that the rebellion is continued for an object more important than that of redressing even a real wrong. It is waged for the establishment of a dogma and the roc sgnition of a barbarism. It is carried on against the Government for its absolute deetruction. In such a struggle there can be no compromise devised to offer or con sidered for acceptance: - One or the other of the contending parties must triumph. Justice must be vindicated by the full recognition and operation of the Government in all the States —or the claims of the traitors will bo main tained, this magnificent structure of our Gov ernment destroyed, and the rights of men forever ignored. To make a change in the Administration, until its authority has been fully re-established In the revolted States, would be to give the enemies of the Govern ment MUMd the pretext for asserting that the Government had tailed at home. To change the policy now in °oration, to crush rebellion and restore the land to peaoe, would be to afford the traitors in arms time to gather now strength, if not for immedite victory, at least for ulti mate success in their efforts permanently to dissolve the Union. Having a firm faith in the logic and the reason of these positions, we are frank in our endeavors thus to urge on you the acceptance of a re-election to the Presidency. We believe that the policy of your Administra tion rendered us victorious at the last election, and we now insist that that policy, if repre sented by yourself in all the States, would give the victory to the Government is November, and dins forever put an and to all hope of tho MOWN of treason. We do not make this communication, at this time to did:, from you any expressions of pinion on this subject. Having confidence in your patriotism, we believe that you will abide the decision of the friends of the Union, and' yield a consent to any honorable use which they may deem proper to make of your name, In order to secure the greatest good to the, country, and'the speediest success to our arms. Pennsylvania has always wielded a potent infictence in the politics of the country. Her preferences have always been tantamount to the success of the statesman to whom she at taches herself and her voice has never failed to give the victory to the right. And while we, the representatives of the great majority of the masses of the Commonwealth, thus avow our confidence and reliance in your offi cial action and capacity, we feel that we are responding to the clearly expreesed preferences of, those masses, and that Pennsylvania would hail your re-election as the omen of complete victory to the Government. &.preesing what we feel to be the language not only of our own constituent's, but also of the neople of all the loyal States, we claim to indulge the expecta tion that you will yield to the preference which has already made you thci people's candidate for President In 1864. Hoping, sir, that you may live to ace the full triumph of your efforts to rescue your country from rebellion, and enjoy many years thereafter of its tranquil peace and prosperity, we remain your friends and fallow citizens.

HAIMEGSLEY, Cleik of the Senate. The Second Corps—Army Of the Potomac Major-Gen. Hancock, commanding Second Corps, Army of the Potomac, is now in the State Capital. We had the pleasure of an inter view with him this morning, and found him still suffering from the severe wounds he re ceived at Gettysburg, where his thigh and hip ware pierced with a minnie ball while he was heading a brilliant charge of a portion of his di vision. He now comes to Pennsylvania for the purpose of gathering as many as possible of the gallant and brave fellows who have already been in the army, with those who have as yet borne no active, part In the great struggle for constitutional liberty and the Tinton, to fill up the decimated regiments of his corps, and thus fit his command for active operations as early as possible in the spring campaign. It will.he remembered that the Second Corps of the Army of the Potomac is largely composed of Pennsyl vania regiments. Almost every county in the Commonwealth is represented in that com mand, so that the active young men of all por tions of the State desirous of entering the army will be certain to find, old companions in the Second Coips. In addition to this fact, the locality contributing recruits, will be carefully credited in the coming draft for every man furnished, while the bounties recently extended until the Ist of March, will of course . apply to all thus enlisting. We trust that Gen. Hancock will meet with the success which his valor as a soldier and his devotion as a patriot so eminently deserve. Hereafter we will , refer to this subject, and bring before our readers certain facts which cannot fail to stimulate enlistments in the Second Corps, Army of the Potomac. Revolutionary Proceedings In the Senate The extraordinary proceedings of copperhead Senators becomes more interesting drily. It was fully developed' this morning that the minority in that body-refused,to join with the Rouse of Representatives in appointing a com mittee to make preparations for the inaugura tion of the Governor elect on Tuesday next. Ou a resolution of Mr. Lowry to proceed to the House for the purpose of counting the , votee cast at the last election for Governor, they ree mained silent and the speaker declared it agreed to. When the hour arrived to pro ceed to the Howe of Representatives to count the votes in accordance with the Con stitution, not one of the minority accompanied the majority, but every Copperhead remained steadfast in his seat. The sixteen Union. members discharged their dety faithfully, and the votes were legally counted, and A. G. Curtin was duly declared Governer elect' for the next ensuing thtea yeare, and no rebel horde at home or abroad will prevent hie inauguration on Tuesday next. It will wake but little difference whether the fririeda of Jeff Davis in Pennsylvania will participate in that proceeding. The committee appointed by the Renee will make all the necessary arrangements for . the inauguration, and we hope that all loyal men', who can make it convenient to be present will attend and witness the triumphant inaugura tion of a loyal Governor for = the next 'three years. The octal majority is 16,836. Exteneive arrangements are being made to have a fine military display on the occasion. We understand that several military companies are expected from Philadelphia.
