THE EOPLE'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
HARRISBURG, PA.
SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 19, 1864,
The City Election—lts Political Bearings
—A Union Triumph:
The Tory Organ proclaims a secesh triumph
i n the election held in the city yesterday—and
we admit that some of the.sspecial friends of
rebels have been elected to office by very
t r ifling majorities ; but let us examine the
facts carefully.
.The copperheads have elected their candi
dates for Council in the First, Second, Third
and Fourth wards by small majorities, in
the wards where the election was contested.
In the First there was no contest, as the can
didates on the Union ticket did not even at
tend the polls to vote.
The 'Union men elected their candidates for
Council in the Fifth and Sixth wards by large
majorities
The Union men also elected their Assessors
in the Second, Tkdrd4 Fifth and Sixth wards,
together with a number of the minor officers.
The Assessor is the most important and re
sponsible officer, in a political point of view.
Upon his action and honesty depend not only
the valuation of property, but he controls,
also, the right of citizens to vote to a great
extent. The friends of the Union had no
,greater enemies last yeaithan - the copperhead
Assessors. In many localities they undertook
to decide the• right of citizens to vote when
they offered themselves to be assessed ten days
prior to the election. The soldiers in our
hospitals were refused to have their names
entered on the assessment books, because they
were too sick to run after the assessor, and
entreat him to have their names entered, in or
der that the election officers might decide
their right to a vote. In other instances the
Assessors could not be found at home when
Union mon went to be assessed, while copper
head names without number were added to
the lists by outsiders. We shall now have an
honest assessment in at least fear of the wards,
and the copperheads will have to confine their
operations to the First and Fourth wards,
where our friends will watch them closely.
We repeat again that the election held
yesterday, in the city of Harrisburg and
county of Dauphin, was a complete Union tri
umph, and a fair indication thit we can and
will carry the same triumphantly next fall.
Mr. Wilson's majority has been reduced
nearly one hundred, and if our old quiet Re
publican Union gentlemen had walked to the
polls and devoted ten minutes' time to their
country and their God, the copperheads would
have been very quiet to-day. •
Alleged Frauds In the 31anagentent of
Camps.
Statements having appearedin various jour
nals, published at posts where large camps
are located, as to the management of these es
tablishments, and also as to certain wicked
and outrageous frauds being perpetrated on
the volunteers, Gov. Curtin has determined,
if possible, to secure the most thorough in
vestigation of the facts involved. With this
determination, His Excellency has asked for
the appointment of a board of officers to in.
vestigate the facts, to hear the testimony, on
oath, of those making these charges, and to
bring the whole matter under such a scrutiny
as will prevent all possibilitykof the escape of
the guilty parties. Why not refer this matter
to Idajog,General Couch, who is now, in com
mand in the State ? His known stern regard
for the welfare, comfort and rights of the sol
dier, with his impartial and high sense of
justice, fit him peculiarly for such a duty.
Hut 'whoever may be appointed to conduct this
investigation, the people will , sustain Gov.
Curtin in demanding a thorough examination
into the alleged frauds, and we trust that the
War Department will make no delay in ap
pointing the commission.
Personal and Pointe's].
Lieut. Harvey Benner, of the 45th Regiment'
P. V., was in our sanotum this morning, o say
"good bye" before he left with his command.
Lieut. B. entered the service" as a private,
and has won his present position
_alone by
his gallant conduct. It would be well for the
service if all promotions were made on the
same principle.
The ages of twelve of the most eminent
American literati"are enumerated as follows:
Brancroft will be 64 years of age the 3d of
next October; Motley 50. the 15th of April;
Emerson 61 the 25th of May; Bryant 70 the
3d of November; Longfellow was 57 the 27th
of February; Whittier will be 57in December;
Holmes 55 the 29th of August; Lowell was
45 in February; Mitchell (Ik. Marvel) - will be
42 in April; Curtis was 40 the 24th of Feb
ruary; Stoddard will be 30 in July, and Bay
ard Tayloveras.39 the 11th of January.
Information received from Itichmondleade to
the general belief that the ostentatious parade
by the Richmond papers of the secrecy of
Colonel Dahlgren's burial, was so prompted
by the cupidity of individuals who anticipate
a profitable speculation when the application
is made by flag of truce for the remains of the
unfortunate young hero.
Theodore Parker writes in his diary for
April, 1863: "Went to Medford. Saw Thomas
Starr King—Capital fellow, only ID.- Taught
school three years—supports his mother—
reads French, Spanish, Latin, Italian, a little
fireek, and begins Garthan. He is a good
listener."
lad of fifteen years has been arrested near
Mobile by the rebel authorities; who has doo
m:am:LW showing him to be a Federal spy. A.
slip of paper Was found concealed in his shirt,
bearing the words, "Trust the bearer, - and
signed General Hurlburt
An enthusiastic adAirer of the Czar was re
peatedly saying to a.stranger , "The Czar is
great" "Yes," was' ihe reply, "but God is
greater." "Ah," exclaimed the Russian,
fhb the Czar ie young yet."
There are four brothers in Thorndike,
Maine, by the name of Parsons, whose aggre
gate height is twenty-five feet three. inches.
The height of each is as follows: 0 feet 1, 6
feet 2, 6 feet 4, and 6 feet 7.
We learn that SOO of our prisoners died At
Richmond during the month of February.
This must be an exaggeration.
It is said a separate State will be made out
of East Tennessee similar to West Virginia.
The order relieving Gen. Meade and ap
pointing his successor will soon be issued.
It is said that the President has adopted
measures to enforce the enrollment in Ken
tucky.
Who Should Select Candidates for High
Offices I
There is but one construction to a republi
can form of government. That construction
yields the right to the majority_to govern.
While it does this, however, it never ignores
the right of minorities. But in -recognizing
the right of minorities, on any question of
public policy, it does not follow that such mi
norities can at any time so control the action
of the Goverrunent as to bend its powers to
their purposes. As it is with the control of
the Government, so also is it with patties.
Indeed.the affuiities between a patriotically
regulated political party, and a purely admin
istered form of republican government, are
the same. Whenever a party organized for a
just purpose, yields to the dictation of a few
aspiring leaders, it soon loses its cohesive
force, to become the embodiment of a_ few
angry factions, whose antagonisms despsril it
bf principle and of prestige. Thus, too, with
government. lt is not republican, unless the
people have its control; it is not a free govern
ment, unless it represents impartially and
fairly.the rights and the interests of the whole
people. The bloody ordeal through which
the people are now passing, while engaged in
the struggle to rescue the land from rebellion,
is daily making these facts plainer to all in
telligent communities. The people feel that
they have not heretofore governed as they in
tend to govern hereafter. The business man,
the financier, the pioneer of the wilderness,
and the creator of new commonwealths,
begin to see that they have en-
trusted the Government too much to
the control of mere politicians. How fre
quently have we heard ;ten, eminent for pu
rity of character and distinguished for vast
attainment, declare that they abhorred poli
tics—that they never`interfered in the selec
tion of candidates—and on the day .of the
election, they only vote for the best men.
But having waited until the worst men were
nominated, their voting for the "best" candi
date was merely a choice between two evils.
In this manner the government has been
wrested from the control of the mass of the
people=removed, as it were, from the careful
supervision of those who contribute the ma
terial for its operation in peace, and peril their
lives in its defence when threatened by foreign
enemies or domestic foes. The lessons of
the hour are happily changing this dis
position of supineness on the part of the
people, so far as it relates to their pailidipa
tion in the government. The mass of the
people are deterniined,to decide not only who
shall govern, but they will see to it, hereafter,
that those thus called, shall fulfill every obli
gation which they assume. Public sentiment
is now steadily and sternly moving in this
direction. HeretofOre men called to originate
and execute the laws, have arrogated-to them
selves a higher power, in attempting to con
trol the succession of those who were invest
ed with the brief control of the functions
of government. So far, indeed, has this
practice been recognized iu the past and the
present, that it is now a hard task to teach
public servants that they are not the masters-of
the people. The practice of dictating candi
dates for high officers for the support of the
people, as it has been arrogated by those in
power, went to such a length, that men robed
in the lerist important authority like he in
vested with the most exalted power, forget
their obligation of duty in their hot haste to
achieve control either in a faction or a party.
The people [haVe decided that this thint , must
end here and 'now. Henceforth the public
man who engages in a. plot or a plan to dictate
a candidate to the people, we care not whether
such a public Min be a member of Cpngress,
a member of the Cabinet, or the President
himself—his presumption will invoke his
political damnation. It might have been ne
oessary for a few 'men twenty years ago, to
select candidates for the mass of the people—
brit.. that time has gone by, carrying with it
into a common grave, the usages and the cor
raptions of old politicial parties. Members of
Congress, belonging, to the different parties,
constituted the bodies to select candidates for
President and the Vice president—but
such service is no longer required from these
gentlemen—and when it is- attempted to be
forced upon the people, the" men thus pre
suming become extremely obnoxious, while
the service itself A highly distasteful to
,
an independent and a free people.. jealous
of their franchises—conscious of their power
—and convinced of their ability for self-gov
ernment, the American people will hereafter
submit to dictation in no shape viliatever.
Those whom they call to execute the r laws and
administer the Government, will be expected
to perform that service, and none other,
'When public Servants go beyond this, to en
gage in schemes for succession in office, that
they may make- arrangements to, monopo
lize the patronage of the Gove,rninent, site&
servants will be certain to provoke the dissat
isfaction of the people, as well as incur their
most emphatic condemnatiorr., And it is right
that the people should thus assert their pre
rogatives. Too Jong have they neglected
their duty to the Government, by surrendeV•
big its treasures to the wasteful consumption
of the riotous, and giving up its powers to
the perversion of the aspiring and the corrupt.
Out of those neglects of the people, has grown
a bloody civil war. From the indifference
and the absolute negligence of the intelligent
masses, have sprung treason and 'rebellion.
But henceforth all these calamities will, be
avoided and guarded against, by those who
uphold a free goveruzaeat, griveraing

NEW . YORE, March 19
The steamer Ellen B. Ferry from Newbern,
N. C., on the 13th inst., arrived at this port
this morning.
There had been a slight skirmish between
the enemy and the third New York cavalry,
but no serious collision had occurred.
Two of our prisoners were frozen to death
on their trip from Richmond to Americus,Ga.
Thirty-one escaped from the cars between
Branchville and Augusta.
The hanging of fifty-one Union 'soldiers at
Kingston and the reported hanging of several
companies of the 2nd North Carolina, who
were recently captured by the rebels, has given
a fresh start to the enlistment of conscript
deserters, who are eager to avenge these
atrocities.
