THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT,

HARRISBURG, PA.
IVEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 17, 1864,
The Indiana Senatorial Election
The special election for:it-Senator repro
dent_ the Indiana and Ar.ni:strong district, made
vacant by the resignation of Major White,.
will occur on. Friday, the 19th inst. Of the
result of that contest there is but one opin
ion. It will of course terminate in the elec
tion of the Union candidate, Dr. Thomas St.
Clair, and thereby secure the progress of the
regular legislative business of the Senate—a
business which has been deliberately obstnict
ed by the action of the minority in the Sen
.
ate, purposely to jeopardize the vital, interests
.of the Commonwealth. But it is not the result
of the Indiana Senatorial election, so certain
to give victory to the Dnion men, which now
claims attention. It is the pitiful attitude of
the copperheads which now fills every candid
man with disgust. Finding that they are
about to lose all their chances and opportuni
ties for mischief—seeing that their race is
run—these bold usurpers of all light—these ,
infamous violators of all law, se* up the
claim that the election which is' about to be
held will be ILLEGAL! This is the smallest
hole ever made through which to allow a sot
of mean rascals to escape the responsibility of
their actions.
The Enlistment of Vete:eaus.
Some time since Captain J. Herron Foster
addressed a letter to Colonel J. V. Bomford,
A. A. Provost Marshal General of Pennsylva
nia, inquiring as to the right , of ,crediting the
veterans re-enlisting to eertain=diAticts in the
State. Colonel Bull4ford. did not reply to that
letter, but referred' it to the Provost Marshal
General at Washington„frOm which Depart
mint the following reply was directed to be
issued:

PROVOST MARSHA', GENERAL'S OFFICE,
WAsuirßyrox Cm, D. C., Feb: 28, 1864
Capt. J, Heron Poster, Provost Marshal -22 d
District, Penn'a.—Sra: Your letter of the 28th
ult., asking what assurances can be given
committees -in paying bounties' to veterans
that they will receive credit, for, , has been re
ceived.
It is not in the power of the Provost Marshal
General to give any assurances of the kind, as
the men are already enlisted and mustered
into the service. The rolls are in the custody
of the Adjutant General, and no change can
be 'wale in them without producing confusion
a,nd errors. The veterans have already received
Government bounty and enlisted" by virtue of it.
Very respeiidully,

nated for the ticancy in the Senate by confer
eestrom /no:HMIs and Armstrong counties, who
met et Elderton, Indiana' county, on Wednes
day.:. The candidate hail - teen conceded to
Indiana, we woreinformed; and when;we heard
of the choice of Dr. St. Clair, by the Union
men of Indiana, we accordingly announced
him as the candidate for the district. We are
glad to learn from the Kittanning Free Press
that there has been no hitch in the party ma
chinery, and that Dr. St Clair is fairly before'
the people as the regular nominee of the Union
party of the whole district. Now let .our
friends turn out to a man in - his support, if
only to show how deeply they detest the course
of those copperheads at Harrisburg, who have
rendered this special election necessary.
Below we give the official proceedings of the
conference:
A meeting of the Senatorial Conferees from
Indiana and Arinstrong counties met at El
derton, on Wednesday, 10th of February,
1864, for the purpose of nominating a candi
date for State Senate, to be voted for at the

The Detwavity of the•Thhes.
The old Dragon has certainly been loosed
and left to run uncurbed on earth. Every
'day seems to prove that some evil influence is
at work on the heads and the hearts of men
and women. Theft, Intemperance, Lying,
:Lust,. Seduction and Murder stalk through
the streets at noon-day, intrude themselves at
the fathily altar, set in brocade and broadcloth
in the temples of God, go forth inpride to
the sacrament table, Cajoling themselves that
an exhibition of piety, like a display of wealth,
"is a sure road to credit on earth as well as in
Heaven. Only a few days since a peaceful
town in the rural districts was startled with
the , perpetration of a most terrible .murder.
The'person assassinated was respectablehe
was, opulent, a melehant
_doing a prosperous
business—with a large:Au:oily looking up to
hiinfor support and counsel—with years suffi
cient cin his headto have:kept his passions cool
—and yet he was hurried, out of the world' by
a frenzied. man, charging him with. , having
been the seducer of his wife. The injured
man had been absent from home, perilling.
his life in the defence of the laws—and pitthe
laws for which he was•ready to die, lad not
sufficient 'influence over one man, aleader in
society, influential in busiess, to restrain him
from ruining the peace and pulling down to
destruction,' the household idols of his coun
try's defender! Horrible; indeed,; is the in
fluence which produces 'these more horrible
results. There is something wrong in the
oivnization of society, when the libertine
thus ails his lips -with his lusts, and gives his
passions full vent on the bosom of one who be
longs to another: There is something, too,
frightfully devilish, where jealously is thus en
gendered-where the resentments of men drive
them mak and themhurry on to imbrue their
hands in the blood of their. fellows! Look to
,it, therefore, men and women-in all localities!
Look to it, before the dometic circle beeomes
a pest liouSe, and society a hot bed of crimes'
•
more appalling than hell itself.
With the view of attracting the attention of
capitalists, and inducing them to enter into
the manufacture of iron,, we publish the, fol
lowing items, winch t will show that the-sup
ply of :American iron must for years and
years fall far short of 'the demand
The total product of. pig iron in
the United States in 1860 was
less than 885,000 tons
One-half of this was used for cast-
mgs . ..
Leaving for wrbnght iron - only.. 442,000
Of this one-half, at least, was
used for bar iron, nails, spikes,
sheets, &c .... 222,000'
Leaving for Railroad iron only.. 220,000 ° "
There are 40,000 miles of railroad in the
United• States, with 4,000,000 tons of rail
laid. 12k per cent. depreciation annually- re
quires 500,000 tons to keep up repairs—equal
to double the entire make, even if we bave
now, reached 1,000,000 tons of pig per year
total product. But it must be borne in mind
that a portion of the pig of 1860 was produc , .
ed in the slave States; and again, it must be
remembered that one-third of our railroads
are in the South, and almost utterly used up,
requiring, in fact, to be re-laid, instead of
being simply maintained against ordinary
Wear. In view of this certain, excess of de
mand, iron-masters may, well lesitate to enter
into extensive contracts for future delivery,
or prodietate even on the present;high prices:
which are sure to increase.
—The project of erecting a stupendous iron
works in the vicinity of this city mill at i:nce
beregarded, after Carefully considering the
above factS, as an enterprise alike important
to labor and capital. 'Certainly, no State in
. the Union has equal advantages for success in
similar enterprises with PennsYlvania, and no
loeali# in the Commonviealth can compare
with the vicinity, of Harrisburg for facilities
and command of resources to conduct

How Neir Vorli Triato Avoid the Draft.
New York city tries 'every way to avoid the
draft, Firit it was by a riot to 'deter the n
tional authorities from enforcing the law.
Then it was by recruiting in Pennsylvania
and New Jersey to fill up her draft. Now lin.
Legislators at Albany have -passed a law mak
ing it a penal offence for any recniiting agent
of any other State to recruit in- New York.
Still, with all this, the city quota fails, mad
now the vOlunteer 'committee argue that the
floating population; 200,000 in number, otigilt
not to be counted in the estimate upon which
her quota is based. This is what lawyers
would call sharp practice. New York claims
and gets two representatives in Congress on
account of this population, but when service
in the field is asked in the same proportion,
she Tents to exclude this. floating element as
no part of her. poptlation: If it is not fair to
count these 200,000 as a basis for her quota of
soldiers; it is not fair to count them in the
representation from that city. Those who
are not citizens for the defence of the country
when in danger, are certainly not entitled to
representation. in Congress. If New York in
sists.
' .
upon striling 200,000 persons out, of
her population,: Congress should insist upon
reducing her representation .in that body in
the same prOportion.
