aity Etitgrap'll' THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT, ABRAHAM LINCOLN. HARRISBURG, Pa THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARI 25, 1861. Judge Agnew and the Prothonotary of the Diddle Supreme Judicial District. Our readers will remember that it was made known in this city that Wallace De- Witt, of Erie county, had been appointed ProthonOlary of the Middle Supreme Judidal District, a general outburst of indignation was elicited. In response to that feeling we strongly condemned the appointment, and on what we then deemed goOd authority, re ferred to Judge Agnew as having voted with, Judges Woodward and Thompson, to make Wal lace DeWitt the Prothonotary. At the time:the information reached us conoerningthe asserted action of Judge Agnew in this connection, we received the statement with naittlifficubts, And, were only led to accept it as true when it was seemingly confaruid.by the most indubitable testimony of persons wi o had gone to Phila. delphia to represent epigh claims of, an other party to this appointment. Then -we felt that Judge Agnew had done a wrong to himself and his friends- -and 'then.only were we constrained to refer to that action with the severity which all loyal men admitted at the time was just, provided the facts - Stated in the case were correct. , We now cheerfully and with alacrity hasten to state that Judge Agnew was . entire]) and grossly - misrepresented to us, and that we, in turn, placed that gentleman in a wrong posi tion before his loyal friends throughout the COmmonwealth. Instead of judge Agnew having voted for DeWitt, he emphatically and. resolutely declined to have any connection with the proceedings of his appointment. 'lt seems that DeWitt was an applicant for the place before the breath was out, of the body of young Ferguson—that a petition to that effect was in the hands of the Chief Jus tice—and that when Ferguson expired, mes sages' were telegraphed from this city, and thus the appointwent was wet-uursed through the Court': Thtse “who know the DeWitts will frankly 'admit that the contemptible means resorted to, to secure this appointment, are characteristic of the name and. its'ante cedents. We take peculiar pleasure in making this explanation in justice to Judge Agnew. The high regard which we had and still have for that gentleman will ever deter us from doing him intentional wrong—and we honestly regret that we did not obey the doubt which at first led us to question, his connection with the appointment of De Witt. All that now remains for us, therefore, is to retract cheerfully, language which may have seemed severe in our comments upon.what we honestly deemed at the time, a great vio lation of faith. But Judge A.g,new'S sagacity and prudence saved him from falling into The snare set for him, and thus he only confirms the high opinion entertained for 4im by those who..know him best. —ln this connection, may'we not express the hope that the better judgment of the loyal majority of the Supreme Court will induce them to re-consider the appointment of De- Wt, and thus remoi , o a great scandal which now attaches itself to that tribunal? The ap pointment has outraggifthe sensibilities 'and patriotism of the whole community;, not that the confidence of the community is lessened in the majority of the Supreme Court, but that the people feel certain that theeonfidence of the Justices has been abused by the =holiest scheme ever devised to veneer-the character of a'foe to the peace and honor of the nation.' The Credit System of Reerniting--Pro elamation of Gov. Curtin., _ We direct attention to a - highly important ,proclamation by Governor Curtin, Made ne cessary in,. order to expl4in and;define the credit system of recruiting. It appears.that an entire regiment of Pennsylvania Volun teers after re-enlisting,hul credited themselves to a locality outside the limits of the Com monwealth. The injustice and ingratitude of this proceeding are made Manifest 'when it is imderstoodj that at least two-thirds of these men leave families or parents iu the State, who are to a certain -extent a charge to the communities in which they live, dependent upon the local .relief which is distributed to the families and parents of Pennsylvania vol unteers. The first view of the Case, there fore, will at once convince the candid mind that the transaction has a fraud about it which should not, and we believe 'will not; be recog, nised by the Provost 'Marshal general. Organ- izations having their origin in one State,. and for adzes representing it in the army, and still claiming to be citizens thereof, having-fem. ihes residing within said State; should not be_ allowed to credit themselves to another State. It is enough if the law can be.so construed as to allow recruits to credit-theraselves-Uoocal-. ities other than that in Which they actually • reside in the Commonwealth to which they -7 belong. But when the citizen. of one State seeks to leave his family behind for_ support / and comfort; and go into another, State, fog( hpunty and profit; he should be, denied the privilege, as well as restrained* from his pro sumptuous attempt at the perpetration of so base wrong. There is glory and profit and personal honor sufficient in all that Pennsylvania has done and willcontinue to do for her sons; to induce them to fight beneath her State flag in de fence of the banner of the Union. The Penn sylvanian whogoes - from,the State to enlist has, lost much of the:lnidewhiCh belongs to a trus solder. When the war is over he will only tliscover his error. . Then her will - corae Am/le, but there will be no.welcome . ,KCi except the forpal greeting which if dire from, the men of all the Stites to the d4enderslof common inheritance of freedom. —We ask our brave fellow citizens to read the proclamation of the Governor referring to this subject. It is a document full of elo quence, and. cannot fail to impress every patri otic Pennsylvanian with the truth which it pro mulgates. Political. The objection which the Nets York Tribune ' offers to the re-election of liIr: Lincoln, is re ceived on all sides, by the people, as the indication that he will be triumphantly con tinued for another term in the White-House. It only needed this action on the part of the Tribune, to convince the people that the poli ticians. are engaged in a dirty game to make a change,, not only in the individual who' rep resents-the national authority, but in the pol icy by which thrit authority is to'be vindicated. Day after day developes these facts. The peo ple are not blind to the position on the sub- 1 ject of the Presidential succession. If the 'Politicians are anxious for an issue with the people and Abraham Lincoln, they can have it for the asking, and receive as good a drub bing to ever men had laid on their hides. The time has come for, politicians to give up the business of Government and leave the people I'to conduct their own affairs. And they had better do so promptly, than `be roughly forced to submit. The copperhead Legislature , of Delaware has voted_ down, by 14 to 7, the bilk for the relief of families of volunteers. Resolu tions in favor of a - vigorous prosecution of the 3var, of thanks to the army, and sympathy slainthe *minded and the'families of soldiers 'slain or disabled, shared the same fate. The Constitutional Convention of Virginia effected a permanent organization on Tues ' day, by the election of 1.113 Roy G. Edwards, of Norfolk, as President; and N. S. Caving, editor of the Virginia State Journal, as Secre tary. A. Senatorial eloction.was held last week in the XXX.th District of loWd,rto fill a vacancy. The lJnion candidate was elected by 450 ma jority, in a total poll of 1,672. This vote' is 750 less than that of October last, owing to the difficulty of traveling, yet:the "Union can:. didate's majority is 11 greater than that of his predecessor. • Up to the Bth inst., more persons had re gistered their names and taken the oath of alledinee in the two parishes of.feffersOn and Orleans, Louisiana, than the one,tentli of the aggregate dote Of the State in 1860, • re quired by. the resi•AeriesPr6clamation. It is expeeted.that twice this number ;will be thus qualified. to 'vote in the parts of the:.Stats within our lines alone. At a meeting in St. Louis, a few evenings since, Judge Tibbetd; of Arkanaas, Union Man, having been called upon for some remarks, said that every :Union man in the South was an immediegb emancipationist that the slaveholders;of 'the South had made up th4r minds for immediate emancipation, , and that soon there Would be more radicalism in the South than in the North. A Meeting of the •Knighte of the Golden Under the disguise of an " editorial ' con vention," delegates,from the different camps of the Knights of the Golden ,Circle , of . the State of Pennsylvania, met -in this city yesterday afternoon, in the Surieyo General's office, with cios9d doors . This"as semblage maybe accounted the boldest move ment yet made. by these hardened conspinl. tors, to,plot ruin to the Government. Added -to this fact, .we may, jfistly regard the use of one of the:public buildings of the Common wealth for the assembling of such a conclave, as the most audacious feature of the whole affair. It would lie well for the Legislature to take some notice of this fact, and decide, whether the loyal men of the Commonwealth are to be taxed "to maintain accommodations for these conspirators., The very fact that the Surveyor 'Genera's office has been dis , . . , graced by suCh an, assemblage, is good argti.„ menu in.favor of abolishing the Department We commend this suggestion to the serious . , attention of the Legislature. -- 7 01 course we cannot positively report :the , exact proceedings 'of'the conclave, but vte have autholity . for stain thafthe Knights resolved to continue their Opposition to, the federal authOrity, and by every influence and power at their command, aid the South to achieve success. The programme adopted at the meeting will be speedily indicatedhy the course 'of. the Tory Organ. All that is neces sarY; then, is to watch tone' of the edito rial columns pf that sheet; and the reader will be daily and fully apprised of the proceedings -at the meeting of the Knights of the Golden Circle'n the Surveyor General's office. Dis4oyal -Vormissioner. Jacob Bucher, one of the coromiSSioners of Lebanon county, resigned his office last week.' He was violently opposed to the appropriation of any money by the county for, bounties to avoid the draft, and when he fotuid that his two associate confultsaidners were - determined , to vote the bountieS and -make a Joan `of; one hundred thousand dollara for - their - payment, he repudiated all connection with the transac tion by resigning. Mr. Jacob Brubaker was appointed-in.his place. As Lbbanon is a strictly ,"loyal" county,_ and Mr. Bucher an intensely "loyal" Abolitionist in politics, his stubborn resistance to the military necessities of the Government:cannot bo' chargtid to that .monstrous crime of the. day which the simen pure loyalists call "copperheadism."—Tory We find the above paragraph in, the Tory Organ, and as a =specimen of tories over , reaching themselves to deal a blew at the 'pause of the'groverninent, it is worthy of being carefully, considered. The "Abolition mini raissiouer ;alluded to, Jaeob Bucher, is,„ rank, venomous .and' contemptible ;coper head, who managed to be eleoted commis sioner two years ago; when'a local differexide. created a temporary dhliculty in the rankt i of the Union men of'Lebanon ~ county. Thus the biters have been bitten; when the Golden Cite men of the :Tory Organ imagined - Mr. Bucher : was an "Abolitionist • Of, course five lie pit in circulation by the. , Tay: :Organ Will uotbe recalled.
