THE PEOPLES CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
HARRISBURG, 1 ) A,
FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 6,1861.
Second Corps—Army of tike Potoznac.„
Sinee the promulgation of
,the ordeis to
stop recruiting for certaisocaValry regiments,
because Such orginizations have - been recruit
ed to their maxium strength, the different re
cruiting agents at this and other • posts
throughout the . Commonwealth, will devote
themselves exclusively in raising recruits tofill
up the Pennsylvania regiments of the Second
Corps, Army of the Potomac. "This corps is•com
manded by Maj. Gen; Hancock, a, gallant sol
dier and a Pennsylvanian. The Pennsylvania
regiments attached to Gen. Hancock's com
mand are the following: - •
Sixty-ninth.
Seventielhol. R. Penn Smith.
Seventy-second—Col. Baxter.
Eighty-seventh—Col. H. B. MlCiln
One hundred and sixth-- ; Col. Morehead
The object now is to fill up these regiments;
and in order to secure the filling up as speed
ily as possible,. great inducements have been
offered to recruits to enter eitluir . ef
ginazation. Iu addition..to_ the local, State
and national bounties, the friends of Maj.
Gem Hancock have raised a fund, by which
he has been enabled to instruct all recruiting
officers to pay all volunteers enlisting in any
of the Pennsylvania, regiments attached to his
command an excess of Five _Dollars. Maj.
Detweiler, the recruting agent at this post,
has the authority to pay this sum to 'each
new recruit. ' .
—ln addition to the
,pectmiaryadvantages
thus held out to induce volunteers to enlist'
in the Second Corps, there are still greater in
ducements presentedin the person of the offi
cer who is at the, head of this command.
Maj. Gen. Hancock is a Pennsylvanian.—
While this does not make him a better man
than others in command, it is certainly an in
ducement to all Pennsylvanians to rally to his
standard. His experience in the field—his
large education and training as, a soldier, are,
however, the great attributes which draw our
most gallant young men to his side; and now
that recruiting has commenced-in earnest for
the Second Corps, we trust that the number
of Inen required will be furnished:without de
lay. Gen. Hancock is anxious to leave the
State with his full quota ,of men in, time to
take an active part in the early spring cam
paign. Will our fighting boys assist thisgal
lent hero and accomplished gentleman in
realizing his great object?
The Committee of Ways and Matta.
Notwithstanding that the. Legislature has
been-unable to dispoee'of any of the vast ail4l
important business ready to be
_acted upon,
the labors of the leading committee of the
House (Ways and Means) have been onerous
and incessant. The Chairman of that com
mittee, Mr. Bigham, of Allegheny, has • de
volved upon him a work of the most stupen
dous and important character, and from what
we can learn of the progress of his labors, we
are confident that no portion of the public
interests confided to hislhands, will be allowed
to suffer. The Revenue bill, prepared and
digested and soon to be reported -by Mr. Big
ham, will form the great measure of the ses
sion. In the preparation of this hill,
.Mr.
Bighorn has been careful to do. justice as
well to the interests of the people Upon whom
the State will be compelled to draw for re
sources, as to the Government, vrhieli needs
and looks for the means of conducting its op
erations to this committee. It must be borne
in, mind, too, that at no period in the history
of the Commonwealth, have the expenses of
the Government been so great, and just in
proportion as these expenses have increased
have the labors of the Chairman of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means keen :augmented.
His estimates to meet these expenses are in
fact stupendous, requiring as well the exer
cise of his own experience and ability as
legislator and a business man, as they do the
display of the same qualifications on the part
of every member of the committee.'
—As soon as both housei have' been fully
organized for business, the Chairman of the
Committee of Way and Means will be ready
to bring his labors before the Legislators. And
when the bills helms prepared are,-reported,
we are confident that the House will put them
on their passage with as little discussiOn and
amendment as have attended the progress: of
any similar work, heretofore, in the same
body.
Kentucky Legislators in 'Barnett
The closing honrs of the Kentgoky.Legisla
tarp were marked with the passage of :several
very stringent measures, putting that body on
a decidedly - U.nion:platform. ...rl'hey were as fol
lows: -
A law punishing guerrillas in the, severest
possible manner.
Another, by which soldiers in the field from
that State shall be allowed 'to 'vote at the Pres
idential election.
Another, by which'in civil suits loyal men
may recover double the amount of damage_
they have sustained at the hands of guerrillas,
and that said damage shall be paid by, assess
meat on the property of those who are proyon
secessionists. In case of the death of the
head of a family whose estates have been - im=
poverished, the widow or orphan heirs may
-recover.
Another Still, that all juries before" bringing
eases of the kind refer r ed to, shall, on each
occasion, take the oath of 'alleg,iance to :the
General Government.
These are very important
_measures,. and
will doubtless have the effect of teitingwheth
ei-the lawless bands of_ ilia-State.inayAnd it
' their' advantage to undertalre'lsorae -honest
calling.
This is the legislation:i-hieh stiplialeets
.
as the Tory Organ denounce efs them-result of
"fanatical Abolitionism."
British Duplicity and Confessions of
Weakness.
It is well known that the greatest liars in
Christendom, are those who conduct the di
plomacrof the British government. If every
4e, uttered by British statesmen, were a ball
of hemp of the weight of`a pound, the collet-
lion would make rope enough to hang every
subject of the Queen of the United Kingdon.
A few months sinee,,,the statesmen of Great
Britain made a great bluster as to what "Her
Majesty's Government" intended to do, with
referenea . to the difficulty. in which Denmark
was involved with the German powers.. It
seemed a fair opportunity for burly John
Bull to play thelbraggartituld-the-tyrant. He
went to work, therefore, with a great bluster,
to finform the German towers that :unless
they did thus and so, to Denmark, he, Bu)1,
would do so and thus to the Teutons. In the
meanwhile Napoleon refused to have anything
to do with the 'difficulty. Bull was allowed
.
to have tho credit of the, entire fight—but
whew the fight assumed a serious aspect, and
a hundred thousand German bayonets began
to bristle and to gleam in . the faces of the
Danes, "Her , Majesty ' s . Government" saga
ciously retired 'from the fight, le'aVing the
Danes to take care of themselves,, while her
Majesty in a speeCh to. Parlianient, congratu
lates herself that her governthent is . not em
barrassed with any difficulty with foreign 'lift
tions.' Theworld-now laughs at the Confession
of weakness on the part of Great Britain, while
Napoleon makes a note of the fact for future
reference: John Bull owns that he is neither
able or willing to wage a war in behalf of him
self or his friends. Let him beware, then;
lest he provokes his ancient enemies.
The Toiy„,Organ in a Quandary
The Tory Organ is anxious to know Nchom
of the Democratic leaders are in alliance with
the traitord,' and defies General . Gantt to . di
vulge the names of any of, the Sachems of the,
Democratic party as being now, or having ever
been, the friend and ally of. the slave-holders
in rebellion. This is a very foolish defiance,
but very characteristic of the Tory Organ.
Are not the Democratic leaders daily avowing
their sympathy for the slave-holding conspir- .
ators? Are not such men ai John L toftwson!
Bill Miller, Buckalew, Ancona, .. c a others in
Congress, with Clymer, Lamberton, Bbyer
and Rex of the Legialatare, daily confirming
their complicity with treason? - .Gen. Gantt
need not make public
. the names in his posSei
sion. He is relieved of making any expOsure
by the confessions of the traitors themselves.
Tint Lieis our strict
rues upon the late investigation"-'in the doings
of the Board of Enrollment of this District,
we were led into an error in supposing that
certain prominent physibians of this city had
been instrunientarin bringing the charges and
persecuting one of their craft- We have since
been informed that they had,,nothing what
ever to - do - with. the sairrie, that the, charges
were made in. alittle soUrrlloikaheet, published
at Mifflin, and said to be owned by a- promi
nent doctor at, that place, who had the auda
city to act as Er:Emil - I - ling Surgeon before the
Board of Investigatipi.,,
,This being the fact,
we withdraw any' cOmMents made upon the
supposed action of the physicians of this city,
who rank among the, highest of their profes
sion, and whom we never supposed would be
guilty of a mean act. We make the correction
cheerfully, in order to do justice to all con
cerned. .
The Tribune on 'Xi, Lincoln
The Hew York Tribune, while it professes
to prefer another •man for the Presidential
succession, thus ' handsomely acknowledges
•
the high qualifications of Mr. Lincoln for the
Presidency: •
I. Ir. Lincoln hae well discharged the IT
sponsibilities of his exalted station.
• This is true; 'We 'are'-among those who
worked hardto elect'Mr. Lincoln, and we are
satisfied with the Manner inWhichlis public
duties have been discharge& He has been pa
biotic, honest and faithful. He Ett.s done his
utmost to serve and save-the country. True, he
has-sometimes erred in judgment, and made
.mistakes ; who has not? He is not infallible
—not a genius—nob one •of those rare great
men who mold their age into the similitude
of their own high character, massive abilities,
and lofty aims: But, Considering his antece
dents, and his experience of public affairs,
, considering that few or none of us anticipated
the terrible war which `he has been compelled
to wage, and- the treasonable factiousness
which has confronted and resisted him even
in the loyal States, we are sure the verdict of
history in his case will be "Well , done, good
and faithful servant!" T he lustre of his many
good deeds will far outlive the memory of his
mistakes and faults. To this 'extent, then, we
agree with the legislatures and conventions
that have presented him as their- favorite for
re-election. . •
IL He is the first-choice for the nest Presi
dential term of a;targe majority of those 'mho
have tines jar suppfirted his-Adnunistration and
the war. We conaider;thisAalso;. quite triie. It
would be strange indeed if it were net. In
the - fearful ordeal through which. we have
passed lais place:has nedessarilyand uniformly
been firet in the thoughts of the loyal mil
lions; his name first, after God's, in - their
•prayers. To-say that; knowing far more, they
think more of and feel a .:toarrner attachment to
him thanto, any other livniy man, is only saying
that he has . not - Proved an otter , disappoint
ment and failure. - -
—The people are convinced of all that the
Tribune here admits as true, and on this con
viction they are determined to 're-elect Abra
ham Line,oln President of the 'United States.
Political:
The latest advices from New Orleans indi
cate the election of 31r. Hahn as Governor.
lir ! - Rahn represents the Lincoln wing of the
heretofore divided-Free State men. The New
York ,Tribune's Correspondent says that he
hove but little OpPosition. •z.
Pro'Oesi of c,onfiscation 'will be stopped
whenever rebel owners of.property have taken
the oath ln good faith,' under:. the ; President's
proclamation, and all rights an& property,

Ali intelligent resident of Maryland.predicts
that she will be a free State, with equal laWs
for all leer citizens, by the4th of J1311Y,18 64 .

PROCLAMATION.
In the Name and by the Authority of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
ANDREW G. CURTIN;
Governor of the Said Commonwealth
A. PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, For some time past it has been
known that persons, professing to be "gents of
other States, have been busily tampering with
our citizens at home and in the army, endea
voring, by false representations, to induce in
dividuals to enter or re-enter the segvice as
from those States, and remonstrances have
been in vain made against the continuance of
this paltry system of seduction-
And toheteas, Information .has now been re
ceived that one of the regiments of Pennsyl
verde has enlisted almost bodily as ffem
another State; and it appears to be necessary
to take some public'means to put our citizens
on their guard against the arts by which re
sults so disastrous to the men And their fami
lies may be effected in others of her 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 emphatically to her veterans in the army,
cautioning them ageinst allowing themselves
to be saduced from her service. By'anlistind
in regiments of other States they deprive their
families at home of that generous and liberal
aid which our law has provided for them as a
right, and not as a charity; they will not en
joy the right of suffrage which an approaching
amendment of the Constitution will give to
our absent volunteers; they cut themselves
loose from the ties which bind them to their
homes, and which bind Pennsylvania to, give
them constant care and assistance in the held,
an obligation which our State has never ne
glected. If wounded or sick, They will
longer be fostered by our agents, and received
with applause and consideration, as men who
have done honor to Pennsylvania; they bring
the history of their regiments to an abrtiPt
close; their names will no longer be entered
on our rolls; all the glorious recollections of
their valor and suffermgs will be sickened by
the fact that they have abandoned their native
State; deserted the great Commonwealth
,un
der whose banner they have earned for thein
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 boenties probably
larger than those offered by other States, and
certainly much larger, if the supportVfforded
to their families be taken into account •
I therefore appeal to our noble volunteers
not to' abanden the COmmonwealth. She lids
been proud of. the glory which their course
hitherto has shed abundantly on her. As a
mother she has a right to the honors be.
won in future by her ehildren- Standby her,
and she will stand by you, and you wilt, have
the richest reward in the grateful affections
and sympathies of your famlies, your friends,
your neighbors and your fellow-citizens.
But if you leave her for the service of-other
States, you throw away all these, for their-peo
ple will regard you merely as mercenaries; and
when they have fulfilled their bargains, will
leave you and your families to shift for ' your
selves. • ftecollect yonr homes and your fam
flies and your friends and the banners which
the Conit4C:RWifiiirfirst bestowed upon '•you,
which you have carried so gloriouslyupon many
a bloody field, Wind which, defaced by shot and
shell, but still bearing the names of the. bat
tles in which you have been distinguished,
she has provided for receiving at the close
of the war, and preserving •as holy relics of.
your patriotism and devotion to the - cause of
our common, country. .These things are
worth more to you and to your children than
money. Do net grieve and disappoint your
friends by abandoning them all.
I take this occasion to enjoin upon:, all
Magistrstea, district Attorneys and other Offi
cers, a strict vigilance in, enforcing the laws
of this Commonwealth against. _all persons
who shall within this State attempt to recruit
volnnteers for other States,
s,l Given. under my hand and the Great
Seal of the. State,
_at Harrisburg, the
year dayof ..rebrpary, in the year of our'
Lord one thousand eight hundred and siity=
four, and of the Commonwealth the eighty
eighth.
