THE PEOPLES CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
HARRISBURG, PA
TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 16, 1861,
Another Lie contradicted
The Tory Organ seems determined. to con
tinue its slander of private citizens, since no
responsible party can be found to place its
name as the owner at the head of the dolumns
of that sheet. A. few weeks since several at
tachees of the concern were engfiged in writ
ing libellous articles for the _Boston Criminal
Life, and since their arrest for that crime,
they have turned their shaft of malice in
another direction, against a private citizen re
siding in an adjoining county. Col: John J.
Patterson is villified this morning in *a state
ment to the effect that he had boon a drafted
man in the late draft and furnished, a, substi
tute, who is said to haye sin 4 deserted. If
such really be the fact, Colonel Patterson is
not responsible for that desertion any more
than the common libellers can be made ac
countable for the acts of their allies, the trai
tors in rebellion. The Tory Organ: further
states that Col. Patterson's substitute 114 not
attested his allegiance when he entered , the
United States service. This lie is manfully
contradicted by'the Provost 117urshal, and is
in itself sufficient to discredit the whole state
tent of the secesh sheet. Read the follow
ing:

I,do hereby certify that James Jones, (white,
age'l9 years, 5 feet 8 inches highl, : saloon
'keeper,) was on December 2,. 1863, • accepted
at Miftlintown as a suitable' snbstitute; for

Shrinking from the Restooiteibitity.
There is something about a braveman, even
when he is notoriously in the wrong, which is
attractive. But a sneaking, canting, falSify;
ing coward is perhaps the best illustration
of 'the success with whibir the devil is capa
ble, occasionally,p - tdegrading God's creatirres.
We will not write that .Senator Clymer em
bodies in his own person, and delineates by
his own actions, these characteristics. But
the attempt in whibh Senator . Clymer is how
engaged, to crawl from •beneath the load of
obloquy he has incurred by, his speeches
dur
ing the last campaign, seems: to us as either
characteristic of cowardice,-: -or'-savory of
falsehood. In the...heat of that conflict, With:
the passions and spite and fury ot.Clyiner
and his partizans ; at their highest pitch, ithe
more reckless their conduct, and' the biteeier
their speech, the better they were liked by, their
partivms and the purer seemed their Dentoc r .
racy. The Republican press inevery , county
in the Commonwealth rang With just indigna
tion at the insults offered by Cly.m.er and his
coadjutors, in asserting .that the election 0 .
Woodward and Vallandighani, in conjunction
with Seymour and Parker, would force the
National Government to change its policy; to`
make peace with the rebels, ,and i of:course,
by inferences from' all this 'insane' 'and idle
-- ; -
.
talk, to - compel 'those' in poiver , :to libdictate.-
.
Not a Single Deanoeratie newspaper In the
State, at the time these assertions Were charged
on Clymer, denied that he' indulged in s) . .ich
cowardly and contemptible langtia,ge, bcceinse
it was supposed that it would concgiafe thspeace
element and win votes for Woodward! Clymer.
lost! Clymer's language drove honest Demo-,
orats from the support of Woodward l
now, when the battle is over and the, glorious
sheen of vietory-covers the banners , of:Liyal
men, Clymer wants to escape the odinin ofhis .
spoectes! What are we to think 'Of such a
man? What will the,people el.the .rural dis
trie,ts think of this man, - Clymer, whem they;
heard vauntingly assail the Goveinnieut,
boastingly threaten thaithe and his party would
compel those who represent its authbrity' to
yield to outside dictation? The thought of
such a man, cannot be other thai.a. that of
loathing contempt. As he ,noW : denies his
treasonable teaching 4, so would he have de
serted those whom he advised . to revolutipn,
had they acted on his counsel and a L Cemp ted
work he laid down for them:, He would have
deserted them in the hour of their need—left
them to struggle in -- - - their 'and - diei in
their shame. But we \ can assure Senator Cly
mer, that he.will never be permitted, to escitpe
the odium of his "electioneering talk". during
the last Gubernatorial campaign:. That will
stick to him like the bloody shirt clung to the
affrighted and conscience-stricken Nessus.
The Returning Reasoteof the
The Nashville Union, of Feb. 4, announces
the return to loyalty of three rebels prominent
enough to posseis influMide over - Many
others. They are D. C.
barna, Major T. EL Williams, of , Tennessee,:
and Capt. J. .M. Streetman, of the 58th Gebr
gia regiment. Mr. Humphreys 'mica,a' °midi
date on the Douglas elpdtionT.iic)ietin 1860,
has been a violent rebel, and now- urges the
people of Alabama to return Lto the Union,
:giving up slavery. Major Williams said at a
Opting in. Nashville, on the 2d,7that 200 of
his regiment were tdready,iu theEnited States
,serVice, and...more7 coming. He 'declared his
readiness to lose his slaves: Some secession
spnpatliizers, he added, called ,the ProOla
matt= =of, Emancipetioh unconstitutional.
He asked, them "if they wanted the Consti
tution administeredf If they _did they were
fools, for it would hapg them and all their
friends now in the rebel. ranks, it caught, for
the penalty of treason is death."- Capt. Street-
Man calls on his commas to renounce the
rebel service, predicts the failure of,, the re 7
bellion, and attributes its.centinutinee.tO the
obstinacy and pride of the rebel letid#6.
,_Mr. E. F. Loveridge, Ni 4.41 141cui. *lke:rebel:
lion broke out was publishing . a secession
newspaper at Troy, N. Y., which wasjiroken
up by the citizens, and he compelled-4i fly to
Canada—writes a communication to the
Rochester Express, in which_ he reviews the
whole subject,. and - conchides .that the•Demo
cratio party are in fact responiciblet* the re
bellion, and - that they area treacherots, un
patriotic, cold-hearted cleat, upon *horn no
reliance can be placed either by_ friends or op
ponents. He denounces that party as the
worst foe the South has, for having led the
way into. this - infernal rebellion: - TbAs_are.
our predictions being verified. We have fre
quently declared that as reason would reil
lumine the .Minds :of the. traitors, and they
could be induced to regard their treasonable
effort to destroy the .Government in-its true
light, they would wose the duplicity prae- ,
ticed upOntheM by the' Democratic leaders of
the North. These exposures are coming
thick and fast. Gen Gantt, a repentant rebel
soldier, who is now making amends for his
treason by taking issue with the copperhead
leaders of the North, asserted while in Har
risburg that he could name the Democrats of
Pennsylvania who had encouraged the South
to rebel. -Ta vied of these facts, who can
properly estimate the extent of the disgrace
which awaits the'. copperhead leaders of the
North?' • .
How
,the Secretary of War Settles a Point.
The ; following anecdote is related by a
Washington, correspondent of the New York
Evening Post, tb show lio'w the Secretary of.
War deals with, a refractory railroad Presi
dent: • • . ' •
The town is laughing at an amusing story
of a recent interview between the Secretary of
War and the PreSident of 'the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. It is too, good to be lost, and
I give it as I. find, it .afleap:The draft has

was Secretary of War, and When the traitors

and seize the resources , and the poweir of the
. Government, the - Baltimore and Ohio' nap
xoad,Company was,,os, deep in the, the, plot as
were Jeff. Davis and his coadjiiters. ; This
was shown, by the refusal of that company 'to
carry soldiers, arriving in. Baltimore from the,
North, to Washington eity;-•and in order ,to_
make good the refusal to .render.the Govern- 5

--While on the subject of the Baltimore
