TEE PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOl2 PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
HARRISBURG, PA
TUESDAY EYENIND, FEBRUARY NOM.
The Failure of an Attempt to Deeet4e the
People
It is well known that the success which
Henry Winter Davis, of Baltimore, Md., has
been able, politically, to achieve within the
last two years, may be attributable to his sup
posed support of the policy of -the National
Administration. He was looked upon as the
champion of the measures adopted to sup-.
press rebellion; and in his zeal : to show his
devotion to the principles embraced in the
policy of the administrati&, Davis went a
step or two in advance of Mr. Lincoln. He
did this to show that the President was un
mistakably right in his course; and for doing
so, the people of one of the Congreasional
Districts in Baltimore re-elected Mr. Davis to
Congress. But Mr. Davis . had scarcely, taken
his seat as a Representative, until the base
qualities of the politician began to crop out
in his action; and now we have him in the
character not merely al the opponent of the
re-election of Mr. Lincoln, but as the scorner
and denouncer of that policy which will make
the name of Abraham Lincoht immortal. At
a recent election for delegates in Baltimore,
Davis played his hand so as t& create the in
ference that that city had cast its vote against
the re-election of Mr. Lincoln. He did this
most adroitly for a time, but when the people
discovered the fraud of the politiCian they
proclaimed their disgust in the most bitter
denunciation of the triok—re-endorsing Abra
ham Lincoln, and avowing their unconditional
determination to re-elect him to the Presi
dency.
The example of the fraud sought:to be prac
ticed on the preference of the people of Balti
more, by a scurvy politician, should not be
lost on the people all over the Union. Wp have
warned the people in this State to be on the
watch for the same politicians. Let the fraud at
tempted in Maryland be cooly considered, and
let the people then narrowly watch the polii
ticians. In the great battle. to make Abraham
Lincoln President for another term, there, is no
sympathy between the.peopk and the politicians;
and therefore UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CAIN
THE PEOPLE SAFELY TRUST THE POLITICIANS IN
THIS BUSINESS.
—ln this connection, we might as well re
mind several of our cdtemporaries who diavo
raised to the heiul of their columns; the name
of Henry Winter Davis for the Vice Presi
dency, in association with that of Mr.
Lincoln for the Presidency, that a continuance
of the association is an insult to all true and
honest men. Hence let Davis be repudiated
as false and deceitful—as the tool of the aristo
°Alio influence whioh.has,kept
treason sym
pathy alive in the State of Maryland.
Since the above was written and in type, we
notice the Union. Convention of the State of
Maryland ,has passed, among others, the fol.
lowing resolutions :
Resokcii„ That the delegates elected by the Convention
to the National Convention be and they are hereby in
structed to vote for Abraham Lincoln first, last and al
the time.
Resolied That this Convention fully approves of the.
proclamation of amnesty of President Liucolu, and to
garde it as calculated to weaken and distroy the rebellion
restore the Union, and give harmony to the country, and
make us a great and prosperous nation.. „ . w
Important . .Law on the Subject of Botiti-
DIM
Ai. general bill is pending in-the House of
Representatives of Pennsylvania which will
undoubtedly, in the course of tenclays, become
a law,° legalizing the action Of Boards of
School Directors, Township Supervisors and
Township Commissioners, levying, assessing
and collecting tax for the payment of bounties
to volunteers, for the purpose of fill;ng their
respective quotas under the call of the Presi
dent for five hundred thousand men. •
Local legislation in the Matter is unneces
sary, as the general act, which is broad and
comprehensive, will meet the requirements of
the community in this matter. - r
When the citizens of a township or borough
desire a tax to be levied for this purpose, the
proper way for them to proceed in the matter,
will be tb have the board of School -Directors
pass a resolution levying a tax for the said
purpose, before ,the second of March, or as
early as possible. The passage of the general
act will then legalize their actions.
THE Damara or A. TaArrou.—Not long ago,
when the Bank of Pottstown issued its five
dollar notes, James Buchanan was so popular
there that his portrait was engraved• upon one
corner of the bill, and nobody thought of de-
facing it in the remarkable style that has pxe
veiled since the beginning of the war. A New
York banker, who is 'a-curiosity-hunter, has
shown us a bundle of thirty-eight of these
five-dollar notes, on twenty of which the word
"Traitor" is 'written across Buchanan's fore
head; ircothers the letter "T" is branded ; on
one the follovcing words appear: • "Give him
hie deserts;" on another is written, "Ye ould
divil," and still another bears this inscription:
"False to his country and his God, but true
to the Democratic party." Some ingenious
individuals, at a loss to express their con
tempt in words, resort to symbols; one has
drawn a copperhead snake, wriggling in the
mouth of Buchanan; another decorates the
head with a cap and bells, and a third 'deco
rates the neck within a noose which is
attached to a gibbet. These curious methods
of iidicating contempt are not of a very high
order, but they show how Mr. Buchanan is now
regarded in that part of Pennsylvania in'whieh
he was once so great a favorite.
Tas National Union Committee met in
Washington yesterday, and issued a eliil for a
National Convention to assemble in Baltimor•
on the 7th of &tine, 1864, to nominate canal.
dates for President and Vice President of the
United states. A -retaitiOn inviting -th - e Dis;
triot of Columbia and the territories:to send
deiegites was also adopted. Of, course all
that this oenvetitiou have to do, will be
the ratification of the nomination of Abraham
Lincoln, already made by the people of the
whole country.
The Charges Against the Board of Enroll
meat of the 14th District.
It will be remembered by our readers, that
most serious charges of- corruption, malfea
sance, and general dereliction of duty, were
preferred against the Board of Enrollment of
the 14th District—of which Dauphin county
forms a portion. At the time these charges
were made, and when an investigation was in
progress on the subject,the Tory Organ and the
tory press all over the district, resorted to the
most strenuous - efforts to prejudge the case.
The testimony of witnesses examined at the
trial; was garbled and then given to the pub
lic, with the sole View of creating, an outside
opinion. that might be used against the Board.
Never before, in the history of any case re
quiring investigation, were the parties
charged with an offence, more unfairly
treated. The Surgeon of the Board, Dr.
Charlton, was the target for the medical pro
fession in this 'city and in .the district gene
rally. Physicians, whose age should restrain
their passions, but whose spleen and propen
sity for slander overtop everything like -de
cency and fairness, followed Dr. Charlton
like bloodhounds, snarling and barking at
- his heels, rending' him in secret, until some
of them were actually rebuked in the families
which they visited, and sent like whipped
dogs from the presence, of -those whom they
had also attempted : to traduce and slander.
. The day may yet dawn, when it will become
our most sacred duty, to jerk the veil from the
hypocritical faces of such as these, and ex
pose them in all their dirty deformity to the
disgusted gaze of the community. ; and when
such does become our duty, we promise those
concerned, that we will do our work, fear
lessly and thoroughly,. by pressing a cup •of
bitterness to their mouths, which `they have
so often and.so cowardly forded to the lips of
others. But we are digressing --and yet there
are those who will understand fully what we
have here written.
—Shine the evidence in the investigation
growing out of the charges preferred against
the Board of Enrollment in this district, was
transmitted to the War Department, it has
been briefly reviewed and set forth in an
opinion by L. C. Turner, Judge Advocate of
the DePartment. In other to enlighten the
public with extracts froiu this . opinion, we
have applied at the Provost . Marshal's offices
Dna city, of the State and district, for a
copy of the same, but for soma reason, we
have not been able to get a peep at the doc
ument,. Determined that the people should
become acquainted.with the tenor of this doc
ument, we have gone to considerable trouble
to'procure at least extracts from the same, in
the
,city of Washington, and we are now able
to Write, that Judge Advocate Turner corn : .
pkttely and emphatically - declares that the evi
dence adduced during the investigation of
the charges preferred against the Enrollment
Board; failed to sustain a single nharge. We
qtiote the precise language of the Judge Ad•
vocate
... - .
51 //gig tke proofb. 14m by Me . iitoestigtaing Soard.faited
o mtkport.the ebarges -preferred: That 'said' proofs .do"nrot
implicate positively or- inferentially the 'sa.id•Boarct
of En
ralZtitent, or any member therolf; in any flimatuient'aet or
malfeasance in office."
This is certainly as strong as any men-seek=
ing the truth could desire. - The Judge Advo
cate then goes on to stSte, : ,that the proofs (Hs,
close the fact, that certain lawyers,' "by false
representations and assuranees, ..oblain'ed money .
from certain enrolled men,lhe payment of the
money generally dependent upowtheir exemption
BUT THERE IS NO' EVIDENCE WHATEVER; THAT
THESE LAIVICERS HAD ANY COLLUSION OR CON
NECTION OR • INIZRCOURSE, 'STIR THE SUROEON
OF THE BOARD [DR. CHARLTON.] INDEED,
THERE IS POSITIVE PROOF IN ONE IN
STANCE OF THE BOARD REPUDIATING
THESE LAWYERS, BY ADVISING A MAN
UNDER EXAMINATION TO HAVE NOTH
ING TO DO WITH SUCH PRETENDERS!"
Such is the language of the Judge Advocate,
after having reviewed the entire testipiony
taken at thisinviostigation. The fact that the
ignorance, credulity, and fears of the men
drafted, marked them as the dupes of the pro
fessional tricksters who have made it a business
to impress people with the idea that they could
procure exemption, in the opinion of the
Judge Advocate, does not impair the integrity
of the enrolling officers, nor can it be used to
sully the character of the gentlemen whose
duty it became to examine the claims of per
sons to exemption. But we have men in the
district who sought to hold the Board respon
sible for the acts of these sharpers, among
whom one,Dr. Crawford, of Juniata county,
made himself very prominent in the investi
gation. In dealing with Crawford and the
other physicians in this city and throughout
the district who joined in this crusade, the
Judge Advocate says:
"And the fact that sun were exentpledfor special andoer
tifiedtodity diseaup e r.—and otherphysicians are v i tt .
ion that such mem persons are physically competent to
perform military uty—does not of itself, iwurr ?Juno OR
morsts&ONbizneAnscrrs" TO THE SI7ROZON OF THE BOARD.
It is' evidence midence that 'doctors disagree.'
ug e . s Q e s it will be noted that ilto Surgeon of the Board
exempted • j l or :ph4sicc'a disabilities as prescribed by the Sur
geon General, WRITE THE 'OUTS/DE PHYSICIANS EXPRESSLY
STATE THAT THEY 'MITER. PAID PARTICULAR ATMTION TO
THE REGULATIONS ISSUED BY THE SURGEON GENERAL, PRE
SCRIBING CAUSES FOR EXEZILETION.'
"Finally, the voluminous. proefs at a whole, instead of
impairing the official integrity orprofessio' nal ability of the
Board of Enrollment,, or any member rnmigor, st.st4LN
AND FORTIFY BOTH."
—What more can the Board of Enrollment
want? What more have the people a right
to ask? Nothing more in truth and justice,
unless it be that the traducers who haft) fol
lowed the Board of Enrollment, be at once
compelled to own before an indignant and
deceived community, that they have imposed
upon its credulity, and indulged in slander
merely to gratify political spleen and - proles-
Biaxial jealousy. Indeed itis high time that those
who have taken a license thus to misrepre
sent men while in the discharge of their
sworn duty, be 'roughly brought to an account
for their cowardice and meanness, and handled
without gloves as all blackguards and com
mon, slanders deserve. , As we wrote iii the
commencement of this-article, whatever part
we may , have to perform in such a work, when
theproper time arrives, we will discharge the
dtiti,feithfully and'fearlessly.

During the, afternoon session of the conven

among several Of. the members.
WestoseTciii, D.. C.. February. 1864.
St;:--The movements recently i g,ka d e:
throughout the country.to sectireAhe rerani 7
nation of President Lincoln rendei necessary
some eounteniction on the part of those un
conditional friends of the Union Who differ,
from the policy of his Actrinistration.
So long as no efforts were made'to forestall
the political action of the people, it was both
wise and patriotic for all true friends cit . thg
Government to devote their influence to the
suPPression of the rebellion. But when it
becomes evident that: party Maaduery and
official influence are,b'eang used to secure the
perpetuation of the' present Arlininistratzba n ,
those who conscientiousty'believe that the in
terest's of the country and of freedom demand
a change in favor of vigor and purity and tin
tonality have no choice but to appeal at once
to the people, before it shall.be too late to se
cure a fair discussion of principles. •
'Those in behalf of *horn Wiz cOmmquiea

political field ; and have arrived at the follow
ing conclusions:
1. That even were the re-election of Arr.
Lincoln desirable, it is 'practically impossible
against the union of influences which will op
pose him.
2. That should he bexe-eleetedlus.manifest
tendency toward comproltuises and temporary
expedients of policy will become stronger star
ing a second term than it has been the
first, and the cause of human liberty andthe
dignity and honor of the nation suffer pro

guish during his whole administration, till the
public debt shall become burden too Feat
to be borne.
3. That the patronitga"of the Goa:ernment+
