THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
HARRISBURG, PA
FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 25, 1861.
The Attitude of the Ministers of the ➢iethc.
dist Episcopal Church.
We print the report of the committee on
the State of the Country, 'of which Rev. J.
Walker Jackson was chairman, to the confer
ence of Methodist ministers recently held in
Wilmington, Del., this afternoon. We re
frained from publishing this preamble and
resolutions, purposely to get a true copy from
the distingnisheci author of the same, as the
report had created a singular sensation both
among loyal men, and those who profess a
sort of semi-loyalty with the blackest treason
-rankling in their hearts. So far as our judg
ment is Concerned, we cannot refrain from
approving of the sentiments expressed through. , -
out the entire report. The doctrines of
these resolutions are those which every pa
triot should cherish and every Christian cul
tivate. And yet, strange as it may appear,
such Methodists as the editor of the Lancaster
intelligencer declares that by the influence of
teaching similar to that conveyed in those
resolutions, must have a tendency to nu-church
him as well as many other good Democratic
Methodists. Peculiar, indeed, must be the
Methodism, and strangely changed has that
doctrine become, since Wesley first pro
claimed it, and Summerfield carried it on his
tongue of sublime eloquence, if the sentiments
of the report made by Rev.. Jackson fail to
command the respect and the approval of all
true Methodists.
limit offering any further comments
on this rOport, except to write that as we print
it it is correct according to the original of the
author, we commend it to our readers.
State Declarations in Favor of the Re-
Election of Abraham Lincoln.
The Legislature of Pennsylvania was the
first official body, directly representing the
interests and political sentiments of the masses
of the people, which declared in favor of the
re-election Of Abraham Lincoln! Immedi
ately after the Keystone State, through her
representatives, had thus emphatically avowed
a ,purpose to secure a continuance of the
National Administration and its policy, four
teen other States followed in quick succession,
until we are now able to print a list of fifteen
States, fairly committed to Abraham Lincoln.
The States may be enumerated as follows:
Pennsylvania Legislature.
New Jersey Legislature.
California Legislature.
Ohio Legislature.
Maryland Legislature.
Michigan Legislature.
Wisconsin Legislature.
Kansas Legislature.
Rhode Island Legislature.
Minnesota State Convention.
lowa State Convention.
Indiana State Convention.
New Hampshire State Convention.
Connecticut State Convention.
Maine Legislature.
—Besides the States thus named as having
declared for the re-election of Mr. Lincoln,
almost every Loyal League in the country,
conventions of cities and counties, and news
papers advocating Union sentiments, have
avowed a determination to extend the term of
the National Administration another four
_
The Bounty BID.
The bill authorizing the payment of boun
ties having now become a law, the neat great
object is to secure its immediate operation,
and thereby fill up the quota of each district
in the coming draft. In volunteering for
bounties, it could be well for every man, and
particularly men who leave families behinfl,
to enlist in localities where they have their
homes. By this course they do not, perhaps,
receive as large a bounty as they would in
other localities, but they make certain of other
important aid, in the way of the relief fund
which each county will undoubtedly distribute
to the families of volunteers. If the volun
teer goes from home to enlist, his family will
of course lose this relief. fence the import
ance of each man crediting himself on the
draft at home.
—We believe, with a fair and earnest exer
tion on the part of the people of each town
shiP,-ward, city and county, that the different
quotas could be raised without much diffi
culty. And, besides this if the people in each
locality to go work to 'raise their own quotas
from their own population, the bounties will be
fully secured to volunteers instead of being
divided among hordes of hungry substitute
brokers. It is a fact .worthy of notice, that
the bounties heretofore paid by counties, have
been mostly exhausted in feeing these substi
tute brokers, who have managed to stand be
tween the volunteer and the localities with
quotas to dill up, and whose services were of
no possible practical account. With this sys
tem broken up, and with the people fully un
derstanding how to protect themselves from
the sharks who have heretofore flourished on
these illy gotten gains, we may hope to see
Pennsylvania•at last fill up her . quota on the
coming draft with as little delay as possible,
and without the operation of the conscription
laws.
Mn. Souorron Warrmo hasdecided that all
persons liable to be enrolled are liable to be
drafted, and though absent may be served
with notice left at their last place of residence.
lon-aripearance upon such notice subjects
them to the penalties of desertion. On this
decision the Provost Marshal has issued his
order.
GENERA:. &urn who commanded in the re
cent cavalry raid in Mississippi, is said to
have information that A. H. Stephens
objects to the conscription policy of the Con
federate Government, and will not resume his
place as President of the Confederate Senate
while such policy continues to be enforced.
Mrs. CATHARINE SAVAGE, formerly of Coven
try township, Chester county, died on the
20th of February, in Phoenixville. She was
born January Ist, 1767, and was therefore 97
years, 1 month and 19 days old. She raised
11 children, 8 of whom, we believe, are still
living, tho eldest 77 and the youngest 49
years. She also leaves 56 grand-children and
54 great grand-children. During her younger
days she more than once saw Gen. Washing
ton, and had a distinct recollection of him,
John V. Callan, a well-known demi-Secesh
notary and claim agent in Washington city,
found guilty of the offence of taking $165
out of a poor soldier for collecting $272 back
pay due him, has been disqualified by Secre
tary Stanton from acting as attorney or agent
in any business in the War Department, and
forbidden even to enter the building,- and the
Solicitor of the Department has been set upon
him to make him disgorge and pay the soldier
back.
HE PLATFORM OF THE METHODIST EPIS
COPAL CHURCH.
ts- Loyalty anti Christian Patriotism
Affirmed.
At the recent Conference of the Ministers
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, held in
the city, of Wilmington, Delaware, Rev. J.
W. Jackson presented the following report of
the Committee on the State of the Country:
WHEREAS, A Rebellion, unjust and causeless
in its origin, and infamously wicked in its ob
jects, continues to threaten the existence of
the Government framed by the wisdom and
sacrifice of our fathers, and founded upon
the corner stone of the freedom and equality of
all men; and
Whereas, the success of the leaders in this
unholy Rebellion* in their avowed objects—the
dissolution of our National Union, the dis
memberment of the country and the estab
lishment of a new Confederacy within-the pre
sent territorial limits, having for its corner
stone the system of human slavery—would be
to imperil the existence of civil and reli , rions
liberty, which is the life of the nation; and
Whereas, As Ministers of the Lord Jesus
Christ, we relinquish no rights as American
citizens, but arc compelled by our articles of
religion to preach to all loyalty to the powers
that be, that, arc "ordained of God," we there
fore,
Resolve, 1, That 4isministers and members
of'the Methodist Episcopal Church within
the bounds of the Philadelphia Aumil Confer
trice, we reaffirm our past declarations since
the war commenced, in reference to the Re
bellion, and our pledged determination to sus
tain the Government in this crisis of our na
tional existence.
Resolved, 2, That while we acknowledge the
war as a great national calamity, and lament
the untold miseries that by it are entailed upon
the land in the loss of precious lives, in its
sad, demoralizing influences, we believe that
the duty of the nation is to prosecute the war
with all its resources of men and money,
until peace shall be obtained by victory, the
Rebellion be completely subdued, the legit
imate power and authority of the Govern
ment shall be re-established, and till the flag
of the nation, as the emblem of the undis
puted sovereignty of the Federal Govern
ment, shall wave over every foot of the terri
torial domain.
Resolved, 3, That as the Constitution of the
United States, the supreme law of the laud,
makes it the duty of the Government "to sup
press rebellion,' and as Government would be
a nullity aside from its administration, we
maintain that loyalty to the Government is
only to be understood as loyalty to the Ad
ministration of that Government as duly
elected under the Constitution, and that in
rendering to "Caesar the, things that belong to
Cmsar," the entirely unqualified and prompt
obedience of all under its authority is to be
rendered to the Administration, not in _wrath,
but for conscience sake; and, thatresistance to
its authority, either by speech or action, is not
only rebelllonundtreason to the civil Govern
ments but to God.
Resolved, 4, That while we recognize the
right of citizens to discuss the measures and
policy of the Government, we yet affirm that
it is a religious duty "not to speak evil of min
isters and magistrates," and that, especially in
times like these, when the utmost wisdom is
required in the administration of civil affairs,
the right of even such discussion is only to be
exercised with great caution, prfidence and
forbearance.
Resolved, 5, That so fur as our influence may
extend, we discountenance and condemn the ill
concealed treason of those who, influenced by
party spirit, •r sympathy with humrn bond
age, find fault with every warlike measure,
under the pretext of a discrimination between
the Constitution as the supreme law of the
land, and the administration of the Govern
ment as framed by the Constitution. They
are the secret foes of the Government, with
all the venom, but withouttheiraanliness of
rebels - in open arms.
ReSolved, 6. That we recognize in American
slavery, so justly characterized by the Fathers
of our Church "as contrary to the golden law
of God, on which hangs all the law and the
prophets, and the inalienable rights of man
kind, as well as every principle of the Revo
lution," the root and palpable cause of this
most foul and wicked rebellion; and that we
rejoice that a system so contraryto the letter
and spirit of our holy religion, so abhorrent
to humanity and civilization, has, by taking
the sword of resistance to the Government se
cured its own destruction, and that in the
emancipation policy, of the Government we
recognize the hand of Him who, thus over
ruling the councils of men, has caused a mili
taxy necessity to coincide with the principles
of everlasting righteousness in the extirpation
of slavery, :the prolific mother of wicked leg
islation in the State, and .of dissension and
bickering in the Church.
Resolved, 7, That our brave soldiers arutsail
ors who under the influence of patriotiSm,
have sacrificed the comforts of home, and
risked their lives in defence of the great in
terests that are at stake in the national strug
gle, are the objets of our sympathy and •love,
and that we will pray for them, and in all pos
sible ways eo-operate with the instrumentali
ties that are made use of for the promotion of
their temporal and spiritual interests; that
those who have fallen and those who survive
have secured an imperishable monument in
the hearts of their countrymen, and that the
orphans of thee° who for the defence of the
nation have sacrificed their lives should be
the nation's special care.
Resolved, 8, That the sublimely charitable
Institutions, the United States Sanitary and
Christian Commissions, as outgrowths of this
war, illustrating as they do the influence of
Christian civilization in its efforts to alleviate
the unavoidable calamities resulting from war,
demand and should receive the prayers and
donations of all Christian people, as well the
Freedman's Aid Society, in whose efforts to
elevate the hitherto downtrodden and op
pressed we recognize the influence of the
teachings of Him who went about doing good
and who, in the awards of the judgment will
say "inasmuch as ye have done it unto the
least of 'these, my brethren, ye have done it
unto me."
Each resolution was passed separately, and
then Pile entire report by a Unanimous vote. .

Ist. By direction of the President of the
United States, the numbers of army corps,
composing the Army of the Potomac, will be
reduced to three, viz : the 2d, sth .and 6th
corps. The troops of the other two corps,
viz : the Ist and 3d corps, will bo temporarily
re-orgnized, and distributed among the 2d,sth
and 6th, by the commanding general, who
will determine what existing organizations will
retain their corps badges and other distinc
tive marks. The staff officers of the two corps,
which are temporarily broken up, will be as
signed to vacancies in the other corps, so far
as such vacancies may exist. Those for whom
there are no vacancies will cease to be consid
ered as officers of the general staff of army
corps.
2d. Major General G. K. Warren is as
signed by the President to the command of
the sth Corps.
3d The following general officer:; arc de
tached from the Army of the Potomac, and
will report for orders to the Adjutant General
of the army, viz: Major General George
Sykes. U. S. Vols.; Major General W.
French, U. S. Vols. ; Major General John S.
Newton, U. S. Vole;; Brigadier General J. R.

Solomon Meredith, U. St" Vols. *
By order of the Secretary of War.
E. D. TOWNSEND, A. A. G.
2d. The following arrangetnents are made
to carry out the provisions of the foregoing
order: The 2d, sth and Gth Army Corps will
each be consolidated into two divisions.
The Ist and 2d Divisions of the 3d Corps
are transferred to the 2d Corps, preserving
their badges and distinctive marks.
The 3d Division of - the 3d Corps is trans
ferred permanently to the 6th Corps.
The three divisions now forming the Ist
Corps are transferred to the sth Corps, pre
serving their badges and distinctive marks, and
on joining the sth Corps they will be consoli
dated into two divisions. The commanders
of divisions transferred to the 2d, sth and 6th
Corps, will at once report to the commanders
of these corps for instructions.
Brigadier General J. B. Carr will report to
Major General Hancock, commanding the 2d
Corps; and Brigadier General H. Prince to
Major General Sedgwick, commanding the 6th
Corps.
The chief of artillery will asSign eight bat
teries each to the 2d stlt and 6th Corps,
these batteries to be taken from those now
With those corps and with the Ist and 3d
Corps. The batteries With the several corps
in excess of the above allowance will join the
artillery reserve.
The consolidation of the divisions called for
in this order will be made by the corps com
manders concerned, who are authorized to
re-arrange the brigades of their respective
commands in such manner as they may think
best for the service.
The re-assignment of officers of the staff de
partments, consequent upon the reorganiza
tion of the army, will be made upon the nom
ination of the chiefs of the staff departments
at these headquarters.
Special instructions will be given hereafter
with respect to the staff officers of the two
corps temporarily broken up.
3d. The Major General commanding avails
himself,-of this occasion to say that, in view
of the reduced strength of nearly all the reg
iments serving ,in this army, the temporary
reduction of the army corps to three is a
measure imperatively -demanded by the best
interests of the service, and that the reasons
for attaching the Ist and 3d Corps for the
time .being to other corps were in no respect
founded upon any supposed inferiority of
these corps to the other corps of this army.
All the corps have equally proved their
valor on many fields, and all have equal claims
to the confidence of- the Government and of
the country.
The Ist and 3d Corps will retain their badges
and distinctive' "marks; and the Major Gen
eral commanding indulges the hope that the
ranks of the army will be filled at an early
day, so that those:corps can;again be re-or
ganized. _
