TEN PEOPLES CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
HARRISBURG , PA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, URGE 21,
Are We to Have an Invasion of the Northl
It is very evident that the rebels have not
abandoned their designtopenetratethe North 7.,
ern States—pass through Pennsylvarda to New
York, and once strongly posted in. that region
ravage the country in all diredtioas. The fact
that Grant is to operate,with the Army, of the
Potomac, indicatee to • the rebels that Rich
mond will be strongly assailed. To the rebels
the possession of Richmond is . no lOngtiii an
advantage. Its loss would . not affeeithe rebel
government at home or abroad. While; he
rebels were in prospect of recognition from
Europe, it was their policy to hold and de
fend what they called their "capital,' but as
all hope of such a recognition has fled, the
rebel leaders can well abandon Richmond to
the spoliation of the Army of the Potomac,.
provided-that in so, doing, a pass can be open
ed for the Army of Virginia to the North. No
one will deny that the Northern .Democratic
leaders are not now encouraging the rebels to
attempt the invasion of the North. Every
day we have the evidences of tide encourage
ment in the legislative debates of the,. North
ern States, in the organs of secession sympa
thy in our midst, so that we venture the
..as
sertion if Gen. Lee's plans could be fairly
unfolded, the fact would became main
fest the invasion of the North is again to be,
attempted in the encouragement of the Dem
ocratic leaders.
—ln thus referring to the possibility and
the danger of invasion, we do not pretend to
write that the rebels wilt symed, -if the neces
sary precautions are adopted to .oppose their 41-
forts. What the Government now requires, is
the immediate presence of every- fighting man
in the field. The Idling up of the "quotas of
troops called for from all the States, is the
first step in frustrating rebel invasion of the
North. The army is the place to defend our
Northern homes ; men cannot save their 'lands
from desolation and theirhomee .frbrn pollu
tion by standing alone, each upon his own
threshold. The work must be done in the
field, under the lead of competeiat °file:ere.
Hence the necessity of at once preparing for
invasion. Let us not wait until the enemy is
over the border. Let us not postpone prepa
ration until the camp fires of the Toe s easttheir
lurid glare on the hills and across the plains
of Pennsylvania. A demonstration now may
be the means of arresting irretrievable disas
ter hereafter.
Fitz John Porter.
A correspondent of,the Dubuque (1a.,) Her
ald say that Fitz John Porter arrived in• Den.
ver city on the 15th of February; `as the agent
of August Behapnt and other New Yoik cap
italists, to examine into the condition of the
gold mines of Colorado. The following day
Mr. McConnor, of the lower House of the
Territorial Legislature, offered the following
joint resolution:
"Resolved, That Fitz John Porter be re
quested to leave the Territory in-thirty day ‘ s."
The writer does not say whether any action
•
was taken on the motion. But who will not ad
mit that the course of this num POrter does riot
=serve the rebuke'which is conveyed to him
in this resolution? The people - qf the far
West, of the new States just coming fairlY be
fore the country, know thevalue of the Union,
and do not care to harbor any man in their
midst suspected of having acted recreantly
to the cause of the goverment. And as Porter
has been treated by the freeman of Colorado,
so will all other apostates bp denounced.
Tar. manwho opposes immediate emancipa
tion, and who professes to favor gradual email.
cipation, we suppose would 'oppose the imme
diate suppression of the rebellion and desire
to have it done gradually. If he is consistent
with his principles, this lutist be the case.
He admits slavery to be the •cause. of the re
hellion, and therefore favors its 'removal. •
But if the cause is to be removed only by slow
— digie — e — s- - if-it-is-nong or i fig ogo.....traiiii
down at a blow, by whit process of reasoning
can the more rapid overthrow of the effect be
urged? Slavery is one arm - of the rebellion
—her army in the field is the 'tither. The two
together make the war. They both oppose
the Federal Government and seek the destruc
tion of the Union. Why then sheeild a differ : ,
ent species of warfare be pursued against
them? If it is right and wise to . destroy the
one as speedily as possible, why not the other
in like manner? The gradual Emancipation
ists admit that both ought to be destroyed, and
yet they urge that one of those public ene
mies should be spared fora certain number of
yeaxs, and then be put' to *death, meanwhile,
being allowed to do all the mischief it can.
Suppose that our armies in the prosecution of .
the war against the rebelarmies, should adept
the philosophy of the Gradualbits,'what would
be the result? Suppose General Giant had
been a . gradual fighter, and when he had the
rebels cooped up in the works:of Fort Ponel-..
son, had concluded to follbw the pritioiPles
the gradual emancipation ordinance adopted
by the old State Convention of Missouri, and
instead of replying to the rebel Gen - era that
he proposed to move upon his works intrne
dkitely, had ordered him to surrender on the
condition that he was to stop fighting the
Union troops at the end of seven years. He
would in that case have proven himaelf a good
gra d ua l unionist, following the favorite doc
trine of the Gradual Emancipationists.

surprising, for they give Seymour _ '3B7 votes

Contemplated Rebel Raid in Kentucky.
Thy rumors of a contemplated rebel raid in
Kentucky have elicited, from several Western
members of Congress, a denial, that there is
any foungiation for such reports,
those thus . denying that there tianYdariger
of an invaSion'oT lientueky . .iare*titlOd tO%the
benefit of their stateme'fits,qmt the - follotiing,
from a late number' of the Louisville Yozirrial,
puts a different shade Atpou these disavowal
of danger:
"We can state, as another important fact,
that not a few Kentucky_ rebels in the South
have written, within, a short time, to their
rebel. relatitins, friends, and; sympathizers at
hoine„to. sell or in some . way make secure
their - cittle,ilesrp; 'hogs, grain
and others kinds of movable property, bp
cense there:Wonl,d,in a, short time be ^ ; a more
formidable
_and destinetiVe inviision.
this. State than there has'ever yet beeti. s They
say that Morgan nitd others will come in,
probably from different, directions, with,. an
aggregate:force of sixteen - or seventeen thOti
sand men, prepared, if, not to occupy Ken
tucky permanently, at, least to ransack her
throughonther Whole -extent, sweeping:away
everything of value and. leaving her stripped
and desblate.. ,
"The fact that' a great intasion of dile
State has been resolved on was, however, suit
licently established ~ ! without 'the testimony of
the Kentucky letter writers in the South to
their people at home. It was fully established
by :Major General J. C. Breckinridge's late
speech, near Dalton, to his _old Kentucky
brigide,announcing.to . them thathe wits or
dered. to Western Virginia, and that he wished
toy take them. with him, se that he.,and they
might be sear their old Kentucky homes, with
a prospect of recovering: therm There is
nothing, more certain in all this war than that
the 'Main purpose of l3reckinridge's movement
into Western Virginia is-an invasion of Ken
tucky, and there is no, doubt tbatn powerful
Mice' und4r •Buckner or. Preston, orob,oth,
strengthened by John Dlorgans, Forrest's and
Champ .Ferguson's cavalry, will co-operate
With hini in the itorasion.v -
We apprehend that—the Journal is better .
posted than the Western Congressmen, who
are Said to discredit the Kentuoky cerispiraey.
The data it gives look fermidable: In the
event of its proving true, or even from its
probability, would not be well for our mi
.litia organization to be prepared, and hold
itselfin, readiness for such a demonstration ?
ForewArned forearmed, is a CoMmendible
,
maxim and should claim immediate . atten
tion. 'There is time' now'for deliberate prepa
ration. To put it off until the day . of evitahall
come, will be to insure hurry, confusion and
inconveniences that may be provided against.
The rumors of an invasion of 'Maryland, and
a possible dash at the - .Federal . capital, indi
cate that the rebels have desperate designs in
contemplation; and the fore Shadowed raid on
Kentucky, as explained by the Journal, gives
ample and timely warning Ifor deliberate
action.
Pars:anal &ad Political.
The Constitution, forever prohibiting: sli
very in Arkansas, has been adopted The
entire Free State tiekat has been elected.
Mrs. Hornby, inher work on Gonstantißople,
gives a strange aCcount'of the , diet of. Turkish
babies. She says, "they:eat oiictimbeis and
chestnuts, and are nursed at the' same time."
The impression of Gen. Neal 1)ow, ,and
others,' is that the" Rebels will make the
present campaign .a hard one,hiitwill-'hot be
able to stand another. -
GeneralJdhn A. Logan declines being a
candidate for Governor of •Iliinois. He says
he ; will remain in the army until the Rebellion
is crushed.. • .
Gbvernor Vance; of North Carolina; in a•
speech of
: great lereli, pitches into :the se
cession of thecitliens orthit State from the.
Confederacy; ,saying thatthily !‘wOuld a - etch
the devil on all. sides."
lohn Hall, President of the Constitutional
Convention of West Virginia,_ has been tried
for killing Lewis Wetzell, a member of the
Legislature, and convicted of manslaughter:
The Court fined him $4,000.
A ,eotemporary says, that the New York
Herald has changed its,programme, and now
goes for Grant on Mondays instead of Tues
days—reserving the, latter for its McClellan
day. Thursday is 'sail its Fremont day.
The reciprocity treaty with Canada is to be
terminated, and a resolution-to the effect will
be 'reported by the House Committee on
Commerce. ~
Seven colored soldiers at Camp 4 t renaont,
near Indianapolis,-have recently died from
eating poisoned pies: bought from''PPddlers.
In the Virginia Convention at Alexandria,

`article in the State 'Consiftirtion punishing:
rebellion and trea,spn by..entire confiscation of
the.rebels property ) al* ,making it treason to
separate the State from the United States, was
lost by a vote of '6 to 10..
The Copperheads in the New Jersey Leg
islature lately attbnipted to pass a law forbid
ding any soldier to approach the polls on
election day, under a severe penalty. This,
of course, was intended to prevent them from
exercising the elective franchise, if any of
thenal should happen to be at home. When the
question-was taken in the Souse of Repre
sentatives, the bill was defeated •by a tie vote
-27 to 27. A few of the Democratic mere

bprs refused to aid the malignant designs..of
their disloyal colleagues. 'The soldiers will

of the IkewJersey secessionists. • •
