THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT,
ALBRAHAM LINCOLN.
HARRISBURG, PA
SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 26, In
Unwise Competition VW* the Presidential
Nomination.
Secretary Chase, in the letter withdrawing
his name from the list of candidates for the
Presidential nomination, administered a re
buke to those over-ambitious and exceedingly
anxious men in different parts of the Union,
who are now engaging in a rancorous compe
tition for the Presidency. We do not pretend
to writs, nor does Secretary Chase's letter im
ply, that under ordinary circumstances, any
man has not the right to make a contest for
the Presidential nomination. It is the con
trolling feature and fairest beauty of our re
publican institutions, that the humblest citi
zen may aspire to the most exalted sta)ion in
the Government—aspire to it, not merely in
dizzy anticipation of its sublime eminence,
but in actual and just hope of wielding its
powers. But there are circumstances under
which these competitions for office become un
wise; threatening in their folly, much wrong
to the people and the Government. Particu
larly at the present time, may competition for
the Presidential nomination be regarded as
dangerous alike to those who engage in it and
to the authority which is sought thereby to
be controlled. In their calmest moments, the
people have decided that a continuance of the
present National Administration is demanded
by every consideration involving National suc
cess in the struggle to overcome treason.
This decision was arrived at not merely to
honor Mr. Lincoln, not to reward or flatter
the man—but to promote the interest and
secure the welfare of the nation. 'l'hose who
seek no*. to thwart the will of the people on
this subject, are they who seek the honoring
of mere men, the elevation of only an indi
vidual, in whose claims to office they profess
to see a superiority to the national claim for
life, peace and prosperity.
Notwithstanding we have faith in the pure
attachment of the people for the Government,
and however much we believe that Mr. Lin
coln will be triumphantly re-elected President
of the United States, we are constrained to
deplore the cropping out of a factious spirit,
now visible in different portions of the loyal
States, in the contest of the Presidential can
vass. As we have already written, we must
concede to all men the right to aspire to and
contest for office; but we submit whether this
is the time for such a struggle. The politi
cians who are preparing to engage in Nis
struggle, must have lost their old cunning, or
they have become blind. Surely nothing
could be more emphatic than the desire of the
people to continue Abraham Lincoln Presi
dent for another term of four years. The na
tion wants the man because his measures and
policy are acceptable; nay, essentially neces
sary for national success. If we change the
man what guarantee have the people that
the measures will not also be changed? These
are the questions which agitated the public
mind, before it was resolved to re-elect Abra
ham Lincoln.
Let us hope that, before the meeting of the
Baltimore Convention, the aspiring gentle
men who now look wistfully towards the
White House, will have withdrawn their
names from the contest, satisfied that it is
not good to Oppose,the preference Of the peo
ple. Such aspirants, if they seek only fame,
can find more enduring reputation in offering
their services to the Government in another
direction, where devotion to its existence is
tried by blows, and patriotism is tested in the
fiery ordeal of battle. The loyal .men of the
land want but one clmdidate for the Presidency.
Indeed, there can be but two, one in favor
of, and the other against the - existence of the
Government. To interfere in such a contest
merely to gratify a knawing want of power,
would be to contrihute to.the success of the
enemies of the country, without earning their
polities or without promoting a single inter
est of those engaging in such work , Let us
then have union among ourselves for the
sake of the Union.
The “Deinoiratte" State
C mivention.
A Convention of delegates purporting to
represent what is called the "Democratic"
party, assembled in Philadelp on-Thurs
day. The object was to settle an electoral
'ticket to be defeated at the Presidential elec
tion in. November next; and to pass resolu
tions of aid and comfort tolhe old and natural
allies of modern Democracy, the slavehold
ars now in rebellion against the constitu
tional authorities of the land. Whether the
delegates succeeded in comforting their' allies
must be decided by the responses of the Smith
em traitor press. - One thing the delegates did
do, however. 'They left us no doubt of their Com
plicity with treason, by'the vagyogenerality,
and cold indifference and villainous misrep
resentation with which they. treated the gov
ernment in their speeChes and resolutions. A
convention of avowed secessionists—a con
clave of traitors with the blood.Of loyal men
on their hands, could not be regarded with
more satisfaction than the proceedings
on this occasion, of the Democratic leaders of
Pennsylvania be hailed by Jeff. Davie ,& Co.
Arid if the leaders of what is now called a
Democratic party, had - deliberately gone :to
work to drive from its ranks all men who
really love their country and are willing,to
peril their lives for the defence of its.liber
ties, they'could not possibly have accom
plished their object More effectually than
they have by the platform adopted at the late
Philadelphia convention:
There is a strange ambiguity hanging about
one of the resolutions. The resolution re
ferred to invites the delegates to unite with
other sovereignties, — &c:' What is meant-by
this radon with sovereignties Does it imply that
the northern copperheads are about to enter
into an alliance with the enemies of theAd
eral government in Canada and New BMUS—
wick?—or are the Democratic leaders about to
join the sovereignties of Europe in their base
plans to secure the overthrow of the Americhn
Union? These are questions for the serious
consideration of the people. It will be re
membered that this is not the first offer of al
liance With other sovereignties on the part of
the Democratic leaders. Tiro years ago the
Democratic leaders of New York called on
the British Minister, with a view to effect au
understanding with the British Government,
havinglor its object the permanent dissolution
of the American Union. It now appears that
the Democratic leaders of Pennsylvania are
in the same market, begging for foreign
alliances, that they may. be strengthened in
their :purposes-.of treason. and rebellion_ at
home.
—With a platform such as was adopted at
the Philadelphia Convention, Pennsylvania
can be carried against the Democratic leaders,
at the Presidential election next fall, by at
least one hundred thousand majority.
Pre;'dint Lincoln's Tribute to the Loyal
Women of America.
At the close of the Patent Office Fair in
Washington, on Friday night, Kr. Lincoln, in
answer to loud and continuous calls, made
the following remarks:
- "Ladies and Gentlemen: I appear, to say
but a word. This extraordinary war in which
we are engaged falls heaiily upon all classes
of people, but the most heavily upon the sol
dier. For it has been said, all that a man
hath will he give for his life; and while all
contribute of their substance, the soldier puts
his life at stake, and often yields it up in V.M
country's cause. The highest merit, then,lS
due to the soldier. (Cheers.)
"Ia this extraordinary war extraordinary
developments have manifested themselves,.•
such as have not been seen in former with, -
and among these manifestations nothing has
been more remarkable than these fairs for the
relief of suffering soldiers and their families.
And the chief agents in these fairs are women
of America. (Cheers.)
"I tun
. not adeitatomed to the use of lan
guage of eulogy; I have never studied the art
of paying compliments ft women; but I must
say that if all that has been said by praters
and poets since the creation, of the - world in
praise of women were applied to the women
of America, it would not do them justice for
their conduct. during this war. _I Will dose by
saying, God bless the women of America!"
(Great applause.)
As INCIDENT OF THE BEGINNING.—At the
great onion meeting held at Hunts Ville, Ala.,
on the 13th, Hon. Jere ClemenS presiding,
Mr. Clemens related the following incident:
Some time after the ordinance of secession
was passed, I was in Montgomery, and called
upon President' Davis; who was in the City.
Davis, Memminger, the Secretary of War,
Gilchrist, the member from Landis comity,
and several others were present.. s Al . en
tered, the conversation• ceased. They were
evidently discussing the propriety of firing
upon Fort Sumter. . Two or. three' of them
withdrew to •the corner of the room, and I
beard Gilchrist say to the Secretary of War:
"It must be done. Delay two months and
Alabama stays -in the Union. You must
sprinkle blood in the face of the people."

IMPORTANT TO TAX-PAYERS.
Bounties to Soldiers.
MR. EDITOR is well-known thin: tts
the recruiting business is now conducted, bounti-1
are unequal in.difierent. parts of the State r :did that while
the people pay the full amount offered for recruits, alargo
proportion of it goes not ,to the recruit, but to greedy
speculators and man-brokers.
Now, to'correet these wrongs—to protect the tax-payers
from imposition, tosccure to the honest, but Fonictitues
ignorant volunteer or his family, the sum which may
prove to ho the price of his life, I beg Immo to suggest the
following: . ,
Let a convention, compesed.of one or more delegates
from each county, be held In HurrisbUrg4s soon as possi
ble. Lot it determine upon a,certain, axed bounty to be
equal throughout the State., Let it -appoint one honest,
intelligent and responsible person in each county to act us
agent for recruiting within the limits of said county, and
let these county agents, or the convention itself, appoint
a general State recruiting ' and bounty officer to be located
at Harrisburg. ' JACOB MISS
