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,„

to take some piibliclineans tout our citizens
on their guard against the ar ts by which re
4.sults so disastrous to' he meirand their falai- 1
-lies may be , effected in others of hex regiments
which Pennsylvania has delighted to honor :
Now, therefore, I, Andrew G. Curtin, Gov
ernor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
do issue this, my proclamation, addressed to
all citizens of the commonwealth, but especially
and ampluitically. to her 'veterans, in the army,
cautioning them against allowing themselves
to be .4duced from her service. By enlisting
indegiments of other States they deprive their
- families at home of that generous and liberal
aid which ourviaw has . provided for them as a
right, arid not as a charity; they will not ea
joy the right of runfrage which anapproaching
amendment of ,the Conatibition win give to
out absent volunteers; -they cut themselves
loose from the ties which bind them to their
homeEl; and which bind Pennsylvania to give
them :constant care and assistance in the field;
an obligation which our State has never ne
..glected. If wounded or sick, they will •no
longer be fostered by our agents, and received
with applause and consideration, as men who
have done to Pennaylbaniaz' they bring
the history,oftheir
will
to an abrupt
mimes; close; their uies will no lenger be entered
on our dolls; all the glorious recollections of
their valor-and sufferings will be sickened by
;the, fact that thell*ve abandoned their. native
State; deserted the great Commonwealth un-
'der whose banner they have earned for them
'selves and for her -the- highest reputation for
=courage and all the martial virtues, and that
they . have done this under inducements which
are in fact unfounded; and at the very time
- when their friends and neighbors at home
;were preparing for ,them, bounties probably
.. .larger than those offered hy other citithni,- and
certainly much; arger if, te support afforded
:to their families be take n into account.
I therefore appeal. to our noble.volunteers
not to abandon the. COmmonwealth. -She has
heeirifinud of the glory which their course
hithe to has stied. aliundantly on her.. As
mother she has a right to the honors to be
won in future by her children. Stand by her,
,and she will stand by you, and you will five
the richest reward in the grateful affections
and sympathies of your famlies, your friends,
your neighbors and roni fellow citizens
-
Btit leave her,fer the 'service of other
State - a;.-YOuTthic4 ani4:alltheie, for (heir peo
:pie will regard youduerely as mercenaries, and
when they have TOlfilled their 1=043,
leave yoirand your familieS to'shiTt for your
selves. Recollect your homes and your fam
ilies and your friends, : and the bruniers which
the Corractentretiltii first beatowint 'Upon you,
which you have carriedss3glo riouslyupon many
a bloody field, end which, d4feeed by shot and

tles in Which you have been.distinguished,

of the.war, and preserving as holy relics of
your patriotism and devotion to the cause of
country. ' These 'things are
.inwcati re: ynit, and fo' YOur.ekildren tha n
money. Do not grieve and Alisappoint your
friendii by abandoning them all.
1' :take this' occasion 'to enjoin upon all
Magistrates, Distriot Attorneys andnther offi
cers, a strict vigilance in enforcing the laws
of this -Commonwealth against all persons
who shall within this State attempt to recruit
volunteers for other States.
