THE PEOPLES CHOICE FOR PIZESIDWA ,
ABRAHAM LINCO'LN.
HARRISBURG, PA
WEDNESDAY EVENING; JANUARY 17, 1864.
The SenattiTtal Oath.
The large majority with which Senator
Shmner's resolution prescribing an oath to
members of the United States Senate, by
Trhich the very strongest test of loyalty is
made, passed that body, shows the intensity
of the sentiment and justice involved in its
passage. It may be regarded as one of the
most patriotic measures of the age, and as the
first of a series of legislative , precautions, to
preserve the purity of all legislative bodies,
we trust it will be followed by other resolu
tions equally as binding to frustrate the secret
designs ofcowardly traitors. After having com
pletely frustrated the efforts of bad men to de
stroy the Government, it now becomes the
duty of the Government to cast around itself
every guard that may be necessary to coun
teract the influence which first engendered
treason. And in no way has that influence
been more palpably shown than in the action
of certain men, when robed with Congression
al power. Men deemed their oath to suppoit
the Constitution, only the privilege to attack
the Government—to obstruct its healthy ope
ration, and to embarrass those invested with
poWer to wield its authority, with miserable
technicalities. Now, thanks to Senator Sum
ner, we will be spared all these disgraces.
The Senatorial oath will put an end to many
a Senatorial scene of treason and vituperation
of Government.
—ln this connection we cannot forbear de
ploring the position which Senator Gowan,
has chosen to take; nor, to be frank, was his
vote on Senator Sumner's resolution, the first
of his Senatorial acts directly in opposition' to
the loyal sentiment of the people whom ho
represents. We will not be harsh with. Sena-
tor. Cowan, but we must confess to have learned
a severe lesson in his case, in supporting an
untried man for one of the highest offices in
the gift of the Commonwealth, when so s inany
able and distinguished and true men were
candidates for the same position. That Sen
ator Cowan has failed to be of service to Penn
sylvania, his own conscience must remind
him; and that he has forfeited the respect and
the confidence of the men who transferred
him from the Greenshurg bar to the United
States Senate, it will not be necessary for him
to live many Years to realize. ,
As COL. DIM WHITE, to-day, marched atthe.
head of his veterans, the 55th Regiment P. V.,
through the streets of the capital of his native
State. the occasion was made one of congrat
ulatiori, and among those who seemed most
ardent in their welcomes we noticed men who
have been encouraging the minority in the
Senate, to persist in their mean efforts to take
advantage of the absence of Major Harry
White, a brother of Col. Dick. What must
the gallant Colonel think of the demagogues
who seek to turn the imprisonment of his no
ble brother to political, account? He cannot
fail, certainly, to treat such men with disdain,
and hold them accountable for the beastli
ness with which his brother is now treated.
Had it not been for the Copperheads who infest
Harrisburg and who have seats in the Legisla
ture, Harry White would have been in Harris
burg to-day to greet the return of hisbrother,
Dick White.
A SLIGHT M/STAKE.-A writer in the Pitts
burg Commercial, signing himself a "Benton
Democrat," and who seems to be , very ranch
annoyed with the increasing enthusiastic
manner in which the people are rallying to
the support of Abraham Lincoln, accuses one
of the editors of the Philadelphia North An
with having written the letter lately ad
dressed to . Abraham Lincoln and signed by
theloyal men of the Pennsylvania Legislature.
"A Benton Democrar is slightlymistaken, as
neither the editor of the .Yorth. American or
any newspaper comspondent in this city, had
a knowledge of the letter in question until it,
was submitted for the signatures of the Union
men of the Legislature. The letter was pre
pared by one of the editors of the Harrisbui
EVENLNG TELEGRAPH, -at the suggestion of a
distinguished citizen of Dauphin county, a
statesman whose great set‘Vice and identifica
tion with the struggle for the National Gov
ernment have now becOme a portion of the
national'history.
WHAT WE HANE NiToN Ba.ca.—The three
Stites, Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennessee,
the people of which are now preparing to
establish.civil government as free States and
within the Union, have an area of 139,023
square miles—a territory a third greater in
extent than the .island of areat Britain, and
only a third less than France. All this re
gion is, by the voluntary action of the loyal
people—who have been taught wisdom by
suffering—devoted„ to_ liberty; and -it will
quickly be sought
,out by freemen from Eu
rope, who will make homes and independence
in this pleasant and fertile country for them
selves and their families. •
THE Copperhead papers are complaining
about the recent sale at Alexandria, Virginia,
of property belonging to the rebels for the
payment of taxes, now due for two or three
yeass past. Among these rebel property own
ers is the rebel Gen. Lee. The Copperheads
would have these traitors excused from the
payment of taxes while fighting against the
Government--loyal men meanwhile being
compelled to bear increased taxes in conse
sequence of a war broright on by traitors.
TEEE State Constitution for'Nevuda ibis been
)
rejected by the people. The Constitution: Wag

rendered very' Unpopular by a clause pictiid 7

:ing for the taxation of mines, and this has
doubtless largely increased, if not entirely
caused theheavy vote against that instrument.
A Word to oar Loyal CtltemporAileto.
Tie endeavor so to conduct ourselves in our
editorialrelations, as to leave no impressions
at w. question the ability dr fail to appreci
ate the- alacrity ilea. which ourloyal cotem
.poraries ovcryw.hero over the. Commonwealth
discharge theirduty. And yet we cannot re-
frain just at thilkuoment to offer a word, not
of lecture or tutorage, but of friendly counsel,
to these same cotemporaries. We do this,
because :from our standpoint, we have a better
opportunity to view the operations of the des-
perate political enemy with whom we will
sliortly be called on to contend for the highest
position in the gift of theAiirican people.--
ar6 our loyal,coteeiporaries doing
,
in the way of aivaltenir4 the people to a pro
per appreciation of the situation? What are
we all doing, in fact,' to consolidate our
strength for the coming Presidential campaign?
It will not do to reply, that we have no time
to attend to politics—that the recruitilfg of
armies is of more importance than the orgard
zation of parties, and that the worsting of the
traitors in the field is litany more desirable
than the defeat of those who differ with us in
politics. The man who talks thus is either
unable to appreciate the crisis in which we
are involved, or he is a tame lover of his country.
The duty is incumbent upon us to attend to
both—to recruit armies and organize parties
for, the defeat alike of armed rebels in the
field, and their sympathizers at the ballot
box. The more men that we send into
the army to fight, the greater the neces-
sity of disabusing the minds of those who
remain at home—of opening their eyes
to the foul corruptions of the demagogues
who daily assail the . prational Government in
every shape and style possible—whO quedicei
its authority, when vigorously put into force
against traitors—who denounce its acts when
tending to exhibit the power and the
bility of the nation. Itis as necessary to be orga
nizod to moot such foes of the Government, as
it is to contend with the enemies who arc
armed and who with a sort of savage -manli
ness fight openly to .achieve their objects.
This - fact should be seriously and plainly pre
sented to the people. To do this, .is the work
of our loyal coternporaries. Hence, we urge
upon the journalists of the Commonwealth at,
once to accept the issue which has been made
by our political foes, and thus open the care
paign for 1864.
What we desire to see accomplished, and
what our loyal cotemporaries we know will at
once enter on securing, is the thorough organi
zation of a party—a political patty, if you please
strengthen the Government. Our po
litical foes are now engaged in effecting such
an organization for the deliberate purpose of
weakening the National authorities. It is
only necessary to read...their organs to becoMe
apprised of this fact:. They are daily ap
pealing to their adherents to oppose the Men
in authority weekly laboring to convince their
deluded followers that we have . no Govern
ment--that there is no just authority in exist
ence—and that anarehy to a certain extent Pre
vails in the places where law and order should
be represented with dignity and wisdOm.
'This is done to weaken the Government, and
give strength to a mere party. We must
therefore organize a party to, strengthen the
Government, by making.that party a petition
of the Government itself. We can do this if
we accept the issues 'Alt& our fanatical foes
are already making'. They insist that there
is no Government—that all just authority has
been destroyed, simply because those who
represent the national authority will not 'yield
its dignity to traitors; and because they wield
its fall force in all its terrors to overcome and
destroy treason. Thus the men who deny the
existence of a Government and insist that its
authority has become extinct, are impelled to
their denials by the force of conscious guilt and
the fear of a visitation °Pits just punish
ments. And these are the men whomi we
must fight politically. They are the foes
against whom our brethren of the press Must
operate with all their effective force. In every
locality, where they exist, they should be pub
licly named and fearlessly denounced; because
the men who make these infamous issues with
the Governinent, are public enemies—are foes
in the shape of wild beasts, who slaould be fought
only to be eiterminated. '
We trust that our brothers of the loyal press
will at once begin to organize the campaign
throughout the State. , The re-election of
Abraham Lincoba is of paramount importance.
His re-election is in a manner part of, the
great work of perpetuating the Government
against the destructive efforts of the slave
driving traitors. And it must be borne in
mind that it is not merely the man that we
desire to retain in power, however much we
honor him, and the boundless character of our
confidence in his capacity and positioni It
is the, policy which he organized—the purpose
which he manifests to secure the entire safety
of- the Government, without regard to what
interests that may suffer, .that we desire to
see continued through another adMinistration.
For the success of these we appeal
,to. our
brothers of the loyal press and to • all loYal Bien
to organize immediately the. political 'Gate
paign for 1864. •
Can tbe Accord be Expunged:
The Democracy are coming to their senses,
if we may believe the reports which': we 'hear
of •the.repentance of the leaders in the Senate,
who have within a few weeks past done so
much to disgrace the Commonwealth, and im
pede the_ transaction of legitiinate; public
business. Having fully gratified the spirit
engendered brtheirdefeat before the people

without effect the. *eat sacred principles of

1864 from eternal infamy.

Mr. Kenney, delegate from Utah, defended
the people of that, territory from the charge of

member of the House ho would introduce a
resolution expelling Wood for the expression
Of treasonable sentiments. The object of the
traitor Floyd and Buchanan in sending troops
to Utah was to cripple the north" and open the
Way to secession.
Fernando Wood (N. Y.) replied, saying
that his remarks yesterday about Utah were
predicated on official doenments which he was
prepared to produce. He was not required .
to defend his loyalty. He charged any man
With falsehood - who impugned it, and he would
