THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
HARRISBURG, PA
TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 9, -1864.
Candidate for Senator.
DE. ST. Cum, of the town of Indiana, was
nominated on Monday last as a candidate for
Senator in place of Major Harry White, re
signed. We have no personal .:aaqttaintane •
with Dr. St. Clair, but he is represented to us as
au able and popular gentleman—one who will
receive the unanimous . srapport of the Union
party in the district, and who will on the floor
of the Senate truly represent the people and
sustain the Government to the utmost: The
district consists of Arm Strong and Indiana,
and will . no doubt elect the :Doctor by a ma,
jority of twenty-five hundred.
A. Just Vindication:
Gen. McCall has lately pllblished a report,
(unofficial) in which he replies to certain
Misrepresentations of Major-General Hooker,
made with reference to. the conduct of the
Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, in the battle
before Richmond during the latter part 'of
June, 1862. We remember the letter which
Gen. Hooker published in Wilkes' Yew York
Spirit of the Times, and when it appeared' we
published 'several communications from offi
cers of the Reserve, exposing the false State- 7
wants into which Hooker had evidently been
- led by interested parties. Joe :Hooker is too
brave and too generous a man to do, any set of
men fighting by side intentional injustice,
arid:hence we had reason to believe,: when his
communication appeared in the Times, placing
the valor of the Reserve Corps in a' question
able position, that the impression in Hooker's
mind was produced by the machinations of
men who were envious of the fame and'the
fighting abilities of the gallant ReserveS.
—However late in the day Gen. McCall has
come forward-to vindicate the reputation of
his old companions-in-arms, :his defence will
have its due share of , influencein preserving.
untarnished the fame of as gallant an organi
zation of men as ever stood shoulder to
shoulder "in the cause of mankind." Every
true Pennsylvanian must feel and every grate-,'
ful Union man'in the country knows and must'
acknowledge,' that the force and influence of
the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps maintained
the existence, of the Republic atthe hotir of .
its most imminent : peril: Its organization ,
was effected alone upon the responsibility and ,
the expense of the State: . :Governinent. It was.
recruited and equipped independently of the
other troops raised at the time for-the sefvice
of the National Government; and most fortu
nate was it for the life of the nation; that this
corps was ready, fully equipped end- disci
plined, to enter the field, when the Army of
the Potomac was driven irf; dismay and 'con
sternation by the panic and: the defeat of lii3ll
Run, into the mud holes and ditcheA around
Washington. At that hour, the hopes of the
nation clustered around the Pennsylvania Re
serves. It was immediately adoPted as the
nucleus around which to -rally the remnants
6f the Army of the Potomac; and whatever
glory that army acquired" afterwards, it is
nothing more than fair and just to attribute
the credit to the discipline and moral influ
ence which the Reserve.-Corps.at ouceimparted
and wielded. Hence 'the vindication of the
Pennsylvania Reserve Corps from aspersions
frOmany quarter, is a duty which belongs to
all true. Republicans.
A Rare In. - dance of Courage
The. Boston Herald has proved itself to be a
very brave sheet. It suggests the name of
Horatio Seymour for nomination by the
Democratic National Convention, for the
Presidency. In view of the fact that Seymour
advocated the doctrine that New 'England
should be "left out in the cold," it must re
quire groat nerve for a New England journal
to insult all New Englanders.by such a propo
sition. Brave as the Herald has shot itself
to be in this act, it will not find a competitor
in the National. Convention. Thal body will
not dare to place Seymour in nomination and
brave public opinion, however desirabletsuch
a course may be with the friends of this gov
ernment. The Union men .of the country
Prefer Seymour to any other candidate that
can be presented, unless it is McClellan, who.
has become a sort of political petrifaction.
KINDLY AND Gnlonrunur Warrrsii.--.A. cor
respondent of the Wan.en lfail, writing from
Washington city, makes the following kind
allusion to a gentleman held in very high os
teem in legislative circles in this city:
Speaker Johnson, -of the Pennsylvania Leg
islature, with other dignitaries, was over here
the other day to present to the President the
resolutions of the Union members favoring
his re-nomination. He was looking about as
happy and easy as a man can who has won
high honors because he deserved them. I
don't knoiv that he picked out a seat on the
floor while up here to pay his respects to our
printer Speaker;,but I suppose he will do so
not many years hence. •
THE Western Freedman's Aid CommiSsion
at Cincinnati has shipped, - during the past
week, about eight, tons of sUpplies-to
nearly nine tons to Nashville, to be
distributed through its agents to the z freed
people. These shipments were composed
mostly of clothing, among other'` articles,
about two thousand new blankets and forty
boxes of new shoes. Some five:thousand vol
umes of school books were also.-sent- for

"Honorable Mention."
The Bulletin of last evening contains a well
written communication, referring to the battle
of Gettysburg, in which the writer indulges
in certain strictures on the subject of the
"honorable mention" of officers in the army,
which are at once original and just. We have
long been of the opinion that the practice of
"Puffing" men for the mere discharge of a
plain . duty, is an evil which cannot be too
speedily abated. While this evil was confined
to the press,' it did not carry with it the force
which it has assumed since the practice has
been introduced in Congress, where the "hon
orable mention" of certain officers in the
array -andnavy;in- nine - bases out of ten, re
sults in engendering jealousies and dissatis
, faction among a class of public servants who
should
of, all others, he preserved from such
feeling. Noi is this all. These . "honorable
mentions" often do great injustice to' many
- worthy - men; by' 'depriving' them 'of credit
which they have fairly earned. The recogni
tions:Of legislative bodies, of the services of
officers in the field, are the result, nine cases
out of ten, of partizan machinations---of politi
cal combinations between menWhO are looking
after their own personal interests,. while they
are supposed to be contributing-tp the &me and
credit of their-favorites. Hence the:injustice
of these "honorable mentions." But there' is
still another aspect in which this practice can
be viewed so far as it relates to the officers
of the army, and that is the view which should
be taken of - it as it may possibly affect the fu'-
ture. As an instance, Congress, in hot haste,
a few weeks since, passed a resolution perpet
uating the title of- Lieutenant-General, and
recommending that it be conferred on Major
General - Grant. So far as the velar which
General Grant has already displayed, and the
wonderful celerity with.. which he has On
many brilliantViettnies; we are ready to ac'.
cord him all the "honorabie mention" which
is his due. But when it is recollected that a
veteran hero and once mighty soldier ahead.*
wears the title of Lieutenant-General, its luu3-
tre is impaired, and its -glory diminished, as
we attempt to confer the title on others. That
title should only be worn by one man in the
country, whether he is on the active or the
retired list of the army And who knows that
a greater soldier than even Grant may not ;
arise before the rebelliori has been crushed:
Renee, we may have Lieutenant-Geiaerals
cumulating on the _army list, until they be , i
collie as common as sutlers'-clerks:.
•---When the war hasheen fought.to glori
ous. .
closewhen the authority of the,C-overn
2.iient has been fully established iurall:the re 4
volted Statei—when peaCe and
,prosperity
again bless us as a people, - then it will be time
t look around arming those who have perilled
,their lives:in defence of. the National honor,
for names • worthy of "honorable menton.".
Congress and the people can then, decide who
are deierving, without the fear of doing
justice or of being outrivalled by some new
hero to be created by the heat -and furY'of
battle. In the meantime,. as long as the Gov-i
erument keeps, its covenants and its contracts .
with its servants in the field and the forum, in
the camp and the cabinet, "honorable men
tion" can be dispensed with without the fear
of doing injustice to any man.
Tlic*l!aymuit of the State Interest —A
question , for our Fighting Afeh.
The men of this Commonwealth who are
furnishing: the muscle, the brain and -the Vain
able lives in defence of the , Government,'iiiite
and are satisfied to receive the currency issued
by -the National Government, to conduct its
business, and secure its credit. If these men
were not willing to receive this currency,, the
Operations now in progress to save the P - 9Nr:-
eminent would at once case.. If they asked
: that they should be paid in gold or its equiva
lent in the bills of credit of the National:Gov
.
emment, bankruptcy and ruin Would overtake
the nation in a single Wender month. But
the soldier is willing to trust the Government.
He cheerfully accepts , the money which that
Governnient has' at its command to pay him
for his services, satisfied while he is doing so,
that he is largely contributing to the safety and
the credit of the nation.
What difference is there between the soldier,
as a creditor of the State or nation, and the
fordo mercenary? If a soldier who perils his
life in defence of the Goveroment, becomes its
creditor, is willing to accept in.payment of
the debt due him, the money which the au
thorities have to offer, why Should not the
foreign creditor be compelled to receive the
same funds in liquidation of his claims ? There
is no reason in justice or * equity why such
should not be the equal treatment of all the
creditors 5f the - State, and such would ;have
been their treatment had it not been for the
course of a Democratic Sate Treasurer, backed
by the factious proceedings of a Democratic
minority in the State Senate. The English
creditor, who furnishes the arms, the ammuni
tion, the clothing and' much of the subsistence
of those who are engaged in this rebellion, gets
$1.50 as an equivalent of the dollar which we
owe him—while our soldiers simply . get a (lc&
lar. This is Democratic justice, ancl. -Ole last
spasmodic effort of the treason sympathizers ,
in the free States to aid the rebellion. No len
.
ger able to give the traitors the direct aid'the.) ,
so much require, the Democracy are extmding
their allies comfort through the British specu
lators who hold our State bonds of indebted
ness. The game is a bold. one, to fill the
pockets of certain politicians .at l hOme, and
comfort joho Bull.iu his losses by trusting
the Southern traitors. • And by this means
Pennsylvania is' -to be taxed to support the
Southern rebellion. .
—This.subject cannot be too fully .ventila
.
ta.. It is the key to unlock p the mystery of:
Democratic sympathy. for' treason 411 d hatred
of the old flag and the old Union. When the
fighting men of the. Commonwealth come
properly to understand the matter, they will be
better able fully . to appreciate' the Democratic
leaders of Pennsylvama.

Lams.—An important measure is
before Congress looking to legislation in
regard to these immense interests. As the
General Land Mee has taken the initiative
iu oallecting minerals and obtaining infoyma
don in regard to the same; and as the exist

enable it, with but little additional expense,
to manage those interests,.it has been sug
gested that the wholejtuisdiction of the mat

of the General Land Office.
