THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
HARRISBURG, PA
TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 11, 1864.
Loyalty.
Thus far the session of the Legislature
has been prolific of debate, during which
the prominent men of both parties have 'had
a fair opportunity to exhibit their elocution
ary powers as well as avow such sentiments as
have taken possession of their minds. Yes
terday, the subject of awarding damages to the
people who suffered from the effects of the rebel
raid in August and July of 1863, being before
the House, a very spirited debate was elicited on
an amendmeht offered by Mr. KELLE, of
Washington county, to the effect that the
committee in charge of the investigation
to fix these damages be instructed to inquire
into the loyalty of all parties making claims
for indemnification. There was nothing
wrong in this amendment, unless the people
of Pennsylvania are expected to pay every
traitor in the land for his losses; and yet the
Democracy of the House voted almost en
masse against its adoption: It was frequently
asked during the debate, who were traitore,
and what was loyalty? These are questions
which the committee appointed to assess dam
sages will be. called on to settle. It was not
for the majority of the House to answer any
more than it was prudent for. the minority in
that body to propound such questions: That
there are traitors in the locality through which
the rebels passed last summer, and raVaged
the . soil of Pennsylvania, no man of
sense or judgment will deny ; while only
those who are tinctured with 'treason them
selves will attempt to screen these wretches
from the penalties which are reserved for them
in the future.
The people have not failed to observe, dur
ing all the time already consumed in the
bloody struggle - to put. down the slave-hold
ers' rebellion, that whenever any policy of
vigor is sought to be put iii force to'sdeure
the , end aimed at, the Democratic, leaders ;in
variably interpose some objection to frustrate
the purpose sought to be accomplished. Th;
course of the leaders in the lgouse, yesterday,
was only another illustration of .their objects.
What should it matter to loyal men i , how :ter
ribly all traitors are made to suffer for their
crimes? And yet the : Democratic leaders,
claiming to be loyal, are constantly laboring.
to screen traitors. As those loaders now- rir,ge
the indemnification of thp traitors in .the
Cumberland Valley, fer the loSses Which they
sustained while their allies were. plundering
that portion of the Union, so willthey also
some day claim that all rebeldoin shall be in
demnified for the losses. which the traitors
incurred from their own actions.
—We trust that none of our readers will
fail to peruse the debate on this sUbjeet, Which
we publish this afternoon..
Speculations in Gold
We have frequently had occasion to refer t 6
and condemn the speculations in gold 'which
have donb so.much to . impair the 'credit and
burden the country with,debt. These 4pboi
lafionß cannot be characterized .as anything
but treasonable, and however those who in
dulge in them niiy elaim,to be loyal, they are
yet traitors to the Government in striving
equally with the men with deadly weapons hi
their, hands to put an end to the Nation's exist
ence. Senator Sherman, of Ohio,. feeling the
importance of .this subject, introduced a bill
into the U. S. Senate on Tuesday, prohibiting
speculative transactions in gold; mitheS all
_time sales of specie or foreign exehange null
and void, and partial payments thereupon re
claimable by suit ; and it is made the duty of
District Attorneys to prosecute such suits, the
money reclaimed going in equal parts to: the
informer, the District Attorney and thee - United
States Treasury. All check's and drafts not'
payable at sight given in such transactions
are made void excepting when, they.have imaged
into the hands of a third person ignorant of
the agreement; but the person making,: the
rate, may at any time within threeyears bring
snit for the recovery of the full amount from
the person to whom it was made.
iluspielon Haunts the Guilty
The Copperhead organs in the rural dis
tricts, as if by concert, are lamenting that the
result of the organization of the State Senate
will be the passage of an apportionment bill
that will deprive that faction of all hope of
influence in that body for years to come. In
explanation of these lamentations we may
truly remark that suspicion haunts the guilty,
The factionists, who have thus far delayed the
progress of business in the Senate, feel that
they deserve no consideration at the hands of
the majority, and we are satisfied that the'
people themselves in the districts now repre
sented by these demagogues, would be better
satisfied if the apportionment bill were so
framed as to cut these revolutionists from all
hope of ever again disgracing the, tqate Sen
ate. Perhaps, the hopes of the people, on
this subject, will be realized.
d'CLEtiaa's report, instead of creating a
sensation, as its author and his friends sup
posed it would, is absolutely eliciting merely
; the derision and the contempt of Sensible
men. The newspapers everywhere are pok
ing fan at Little Mac by suggesting that he'
should have adopted for the title of his docu
ment, the immortal words which Bulwer puts
into the mouth of Richelieu: " The pen is
mightier than the sword"
It.avaaor Jorresozi, 17., S. Senator from
Maryland, a year ago, a pro-slavery man, and
a slave-holder to-day, is announced to deliver a
speech in - the Senate favering the amend
ment of the Constitution to abolish slivery.— :
This mill be a hard nut for the treason- sympa
thizers-iii the-North. Southward the star :of
Abolitionism goes.
The Election in the Duriano Senatorial
District
We have, of course, au abiding faith in the
result of the election to be held in thelmilana
Senatorial District, to fill the vacancy created
by the. resignation of senator Harry White.
W e feel that the loyal people in the counties
composing that district will be true to their
trust, and yet we cannot refrain from urging
on every man in Indiana and Armstrong coun
ties, who has the least regard for the repute
tionAndluture welfare of the. Commonwealth,
to be active in making the result of that elec
tion wield the utmost possible influence.—
Every Copperhead politieian in the State or
Pennsylvania will exert his influence to con
trol the election in Indiana and Armstrong
counties. Already we are informed that efforts
will be made to create a divirsion in the ranks
Of the loyal men of the district—to stir up
jealousies and form rivalries—all, if possible,
to bring about the defeat of Dr. St. Clair, and
secure the election of some Copperhead, by.
which result the Legislature of Pennaylvania
is to be further obstructed in the legislative
exercise of its power during the entire session.
To the cause of the nation this would indeed
be disastrous While to the hopes of the rebels
it would be inspiring.
—The election of Di. St. Clair - will at once
start the legislative busineas of the Common
wealth. Had Senator 'White been able to have
taken his seat,--lual the factious minority in
the Senate not influenced the retention of
Hairy White as a prisoner in the vile and fil
thy dens of Richmond—Pennsylvania to-day,
would have been relieved of at least a million
of dollars in public debt which was accumula
ted by the increase in the difference of gold in
paying her interest—ler facilitica for volun
teering would have been en'arged, and thus
the hardships Of the-draft now beeonieneces-•,
sary would have been avoided—while other im
portant private business all depending on hails
lation, would have been exempt from suffering
au& injury. All this was the work of the cop-.
pinhead minority iu the Senate.. And from
these facts, our friends iu Indiana and Arm
strong counties will be able to see how im
portant is the dray devolved :on them to fill
the vaeaneyerted by the resignation of their
late gallant Senator. Let theui discharge that
duty faithfully. Let them strike. the blow
which 'will destroy the spell in which the
Semite is noW liOund-,-it spell created by the
machinations
.of those who seek the realization
of their personal aspirations at the sacrifice of
all Chat is holy, noble; patriotic 'and national:
Predict:ton. ReiLlized 7 -ovt4. the Left
Robert tpombs threatened to call the roll
of his slaves on Bunker: From_some
strangA bitell -in afitilis, 'this prediction has
failed of fulfillment; instead, of it we hear of
rebel prisoners,' taken in arms against the
Government, Nisiting that "sacred hill," and
actually enjaying•the sensation. We find the
following inthe Boston Jongta/ of last even
ing: . . •
• The detachment of rebel prisoners, nearly
three hundred', in number, who arrived from
the Wegt last evening in charge of the Chicago .
Zouaves, are now on board the United States'
deceiving: ship . Ohio, :undergoing the prelithir :
nary preparations for service in the navy of
the United States. The men • generally are
well pleased with -their now quarters; and
manifest much .delight at the prospect of
warm clothing and. an abundance of •ration.
They were divested. ! ofear
."butternut"
uniforms this . morning, which
were, cast reck
lessly_ into !the stream, and;after having been
treated to a generous bath, they were:supplied
with the bright blue uniforms of
~the Union
navy.. Many of the men. were very scantily'
clad; and 'they. were also remarkably_ filthy:
Nearly one-third of the whole number are for
eigners, the Irish and Germans predomina-•
ting, and .they are chiefly. from Tenne§see, -
Virginia, Georgia and, Alabama. They are'
evidently unused to theifortherri climate froin
the shuddering, expressions at the storm this
_morning ; but with comfortable clothing and
an abundance of; rations,, which have been so
rare during their -service „in the confederate
armies, they will -have but little dispositien to
complain. , •
The .magniticent proportions of Bunker
Hill monument, of which they had all heard
so much, were looked upon with wonder, and
it seemed difficult for them to realize that
they were really beneath the shadow of that
honorable heritage. The Majority of them are
comparatively ignorant, although there are a
few well educated and intelligent among
them. One of the latter, a Tennesseean,
talked quite - freely upon the "situation" of
affairs in rebeldom, so far as his knowledge
extended. He confirms the numerous reports
froth the South that the people 'are heartily
sick of the war, and are anxious for peace on
any terms, and lie has not the sligliest doubt
but Bragg's Wkole army would desert in a
body if the slightest opportunity waS offered.
When told of the, new call of the President for
half a million of men, he said that in fact,
even if the nuffiber were not raised, it would
seriously dampen the already declining spirits
of the rebel leaders. He characterized Bragg
as a merciless tyrant, with very hi:Lifted mili
tary abilities and extremely unpopular with
his command.
°n um, DOCIIIMNTS show that during the
year 1862, 13,500 claims of deceased and dis
charged soldiers were settled at the Treasury
Department. The number settled during
1863 was 45,700, and there remained on hand
unsettleA on the Ist of january last, 64, 600.
By them.iddle of neat August, all claims now
inAhe Second Auditor's office, when the ne
cesSitty evidence can be Obtained, will be set
tled. But as a bill has passed, the House v
gi
big increased facilities, which will doubtless
soon be concurred in by the Senate, the causes
of delay will in a great measure be removed.
REFOI:3I NEEDED.--It has become so much
the.practice of, robbing. the present parcels
and boxes at Washington, directed to the sol
diers by their friends, under the pretence of.
looking for whisky; that the Washington
Chronicle calls the attention of the Government
to the fact .to have a stop put to it. There
has been a great deal of complaint of this
meanness, and an example or two made of
those who are guilty of it would probably
break up the practice.

Farrar-as Mosaou, Feb. 10.—The following
special order is published by order of the
general commending:
SPECIAL OEDER. W. W. Shore being, by
his own confession, the correspondent of the
New York Daily Wo.-ld and Daily Times, the
articles and letters from which papers are
copied with approbation into many of the
rebel papers to the injury of the Government
and the cause of the country, he is ordered to
leave this department forthwith, not to return
under pain of being put at hard, but honest
labor.

Caroacio, Web. 10.
The St. Louis correspondent of the Chicago
Journal says that the largest and most for
midable fleet ever seen on the Mississippi
river, is now being fitted out by Admiral
Porter. The greatest activity prevails in all
the naval - depots and yards on the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers. Workmen are being em
ployed day and night to have vessels ready at
the appointed time. The fleet will probably
rendezvous at Cairo and Memphis.
The same correspondent thinks that Sher
man's expedition in Mississippi is to flank
Johnson and Hardee's forces in Alabama and
Georgia, rather than to attack Mobile.
The Expelled Correspondent.
