THIS PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
HARRISBURG, PA.
MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 11, 1864.
Philadelphia and the State Capital.
There is not a city in any other part of, the
Commonwealth, that has contributed as
largely to the prosperity of Philadelphia as
Harrisburg. We have sustained the metropo
lis in most of her gigantic schemes, believing
that her growth and wealth would contribute to
the growth andwerilth of the Commonwealth.
We have supported the policy of erecting
great national works within her borders or con
tiguous to her limits, for the purpose of
increasing her trade and augmenting her
commercial importance. After the people of
the rural districts have done all this for
Philadelphia, what does the metropolis pro
pose to do for us? She proposes to absorb
our political importance, and de§troy the
equilibrium which has preserved equally the
prosperity of all parts of Pennsylvania, by
placing the machinery of Government entirely
beneath the control of her corrupt politicians.
The question sprang so suddenly upon the
people will not be properly understood until
it is too late to arrest the evil, and the proposi,
tion of removal is hurriedly forced 'through
the Legislature. And when it is too late—
when the people of the rural districts find
themselves the catapaw of the commercial
metropolis—when all interests which militate
with those of Philadelphia, are smothered as
they come up for legislation—then only will
those who now lend themselves to the uses of
the speculators at the head of this scheme,
be able to realize the enormity of tho profit
without being able, however, to escape the
penalty of their action in the curve of the peo
ple.
Philadelphia proposes to appropriate a mil
lion of dollars to erect public buildings for
the accommodation of the State Government.
This is a munificent sum, and its tender has
about it the appearance of princely liberality.
Heretofore, when the real estate interests and
the other business of Philadelphia county,
largely concerned in the safetY of the records
of its courts, urged the erection of buildings
for the accommodation of these, it was op
posed on the plea that the debt of that city
was already too great, and that its increase
would be an act of gross injustice to the tax
payers thereof, yet in the face of such ar
guments, against the necessity of the erection
of absolutely needed public buildings, the
councils of Philadelphia offer to appropri
ate a million of dollars to build an edifice in
which her taxpayers are not directly inter
ested. When viewed from this stand point,
the wrong assumes an appearande so odious,
that it should at once shame those who are
active'for the removal, from their position.
—We cannot believe that this measure of
removal will be a success. He cannot believe
that the people of Philadelphia will submit to
the waste of their resources which it contem
plated. Nor do we for a moment believe that
the people in all parts of the Commonwealth
will submit to a movement such as this, con
templating as it does, the expenditure of mil
lions of their treasure, at a time when their
resources should be harvested by their ser
vants.
A Singular Fact in the History of the
Revolutionary War, and its Bearing
on the Rebellion.
At the close of the Revolutionary War, and
when the treaty or trace between Great Brit
ain and this Government was being dis
cussed, a great offer was made by the British
delegates to the Congress of Ghent, to secure
the return of the confiscated estates of the
tories of the Revolution. But Jay and Frank
lin declared that they would in no document
providing for such a restoration of confiscated
property. The consequence was that the
tories were ejected from all the States. . Not
more than a thousand were left behind. and
these were of the poorer and more helpless
class, who could not leave the 'country they
had attempted to ruin. The larger portion of
the tories fled to New Brunswick—indeed they
made np that colony for Great Britaiii;,so that
the animosity with which the Briatiwickeis
have acted towards the Federal cause, is ex
plained by the fact that they a% the descend
ants of the tories of the Revolution. But there is
still a stranger coincidence in the history of
the confiscation policy of the Revolutionary
fathers. The only State of the original thin;
teen, which refused to enforce, and which
repealed the confiscation act after it had be
come a law, was South Carolina. The State
Government of South Carolina absolutely
invited to its midst the tories of the Revolu
tion—gave back the forfeited estates to the
tories, and thus by legal enactment, as, it
were, instituted a premium for treason. We
are now reaping the bitter fruit of this policy.
South Carolina has always been the nursery of
treason as it has been the asylum for traitors.
The British Governme4, which first essayed to
save the estates of these South Carolina tories,
was also the first government in the world to
give aid and comfort to the South Carolina
traitors, while engaging in the rebellion to
destroy the American "Union.
There is something singularly instructive in
these facts. They need but one more record;
and that is, that the Democratic leaders of
1860, in connection with the aristocrats and
the tories of 1776, plotted the ruin of freedoia,
that the business of selling men and women
into bondage might continue in all the States
of the Union.
Tn BKDF0111) INQVmEB comes to us in an
entire new dress, with a new heading, and ac
new proprietor, thus presenting a clean and
tidy appeartmce, and promising a larger and
more important service` in the adVocaiy*,
principle and the defence of thei Government.
B. E. lifNeil leis become the Editor and pro
prietor of the Inquirer. We know him to be
a gentleman of ability and integrity; worthy
of the confidence and support of the people of
Bedford county. The Inquirer is surrounded
by a large field in which to operate; and we ear
nestly trust that it may prove a powerful ad
junct in purifying Bedford county politically.
Passed the Senate Finally.

MONDAY, April 11, 1864.
The House met at 10 o'clock; A number of
petitions were presented—among them the
following, by Mr. ALLEILLN:
HA:almanac, April 11, 1864.
To the Speaker and Members of the Senate and
Rouse of Representatives of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania:
At a meeting of the Common Council of the
city of Harrisburg, held on the evening of the
kh inst., the following preamble and resolu
tions were unanimously adopted:
`WITEBEAS, The city authorities have learned
that a bill is before the Legislature of Penn
sylvania providing for the removal of the State
Capital from Harrisburg to Philadelphia ;
And tehei•eas, In their opinion, it is a mat
ter not asked for by a majority of the people
of this Commonwealth, and can be productive
of no real benefit to them, but will be the oc
casion of much dissatisfaction, trouble and
violent contention in the future, as no good
reason exists why the Capital should be re
moved, hut, on the contrary, many reasons
why it should remain at Harrisburg, chief
among which are, its central position, the fa
cility of reaching it from all parts of the State
by railroad, its security in case of foreign in
vasion; and being in the midst of a great war,
all our resources should be husbanded with
the greatest care to enable both the city of
Harrisburg and the city of Philadelphia to
contribute every available dollar, to strengthen
the arms of the Governinent,- in crushing the
most cruel and wicked rebellion ever raised
against a good and kind Government, which
God has seemed so long to bless ; therefore,
be it
Resolved, (by the Common Council of the
city of Harrisburg,) That they appeal to the
good sense of the Legislature of Pennsylvania,
to their wisdom and patriotism, in considering
the matter of the contemplated removal of the
Capital, and that they act in the premises in
such a way that the welfare of all parts of the
State be respected, and that they endeavor not
to favor one section at the expense and injury
of Harrisburg, or of their constituents who
may be advantaged by haviiag a middle point
in the State, where they may conveniently at
tend to the business they have to transact
with the Legislature, or with any of the other
departments of the State dovemment.
Resolved, That our Senator and Represen
tatives receive the thanks of the citizens of
Harrisburg, through the City Council, for their
fidelity in opposing the measure thus far, and
that they be requested further to oppose it en
ergetically and firmly, hoping that they will
be successful in convincing the members of
the Legislature that it is eminently proper and
just that tho State Capital should remain where
it is."

}'ho sitcoms of the plan will depend upon the hearty co
operation of every element of influence within our lim
it; and we invite all the guardians of the industrial in
terests, and all others, to take hold with us in furthering
this great work of patriotism and humanity,
,e
The Goiriraittetts charged with the following duty, to
Fnisr—To obtain the contribution of "one day's labor,"
or earnings, from every artizan and laborer, foreman, ope
rative and employee; president, cashier, teller and clerk
Of every incorporated and unincorporated company, rail
road and express company, employing firm, bank, manu
factory, iron works, oil works, mill, mine and, public of
fice; from every private banker and broker, importer,
auctioneer and merchant; clerk, agent and salesman de
signer, 'finisher and artist; publisher, printer and mechanic;
from every government officer, contractor and employee;
grocer, butcher, baker and dealer; farmer, horticulturist
and procicer; from every manilla maker, milliner and
female operative; every individual engaged in turning the
soil, tending the loom, or in any way earning a livelihood,
or building a fortune within the States of Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Delaware.
SECOND--To obtain the contribution of one day's "Rev
enue," from all the great employing establishments, firms,
corporations. companies, railroads and works.
Titran—To obtain the contribution of one day's income
from every retired person, person of fortune—male and
female—living upon their means, and from all clergymen,
lawyers, physicians, dentists, editors, authors and pro.
feesors; all other persona engaged iu the learned or other
professions.
Much of this work must be performed by the persenal
influence and efforts of Indies and gentlemen associated,
or to be associated with the Committee in carrying out this
plan.
The Committee feel the rmrpon.sibility of the work they
have undertaken, which, to be successftrl, will require a
very perfect ramification of their plan, and they therefore
call upon all earnest people to assemble themselves to
gether in every town, township and county, and form or
ganizations of ladies and gentlemen to cu-operate with
them in this great work and labor of love. In the manu
facturing counties, the coal and oil regions, and in the agri
cultural districts — especially, let there be organizations in
the large towns, so that the young people may have an
opportunity thus to render assistance to their relatives
and friends lighting the belles of their country in the ar
mies of the nation.
The work of this Committee may be prosecuted where
no other °art can be made for the Fair, as in the mines
of the Beal regions. A day's earnings of the miners, and
a day's product of the mines, can be obtained where no
portable article could be procured for transportation. In
deed there is no part or section of these States where the
day's labor may not be obtained, if organizations can be
formed to reach them,
The Committee cannot close without urging upon all
proprietors of establishments the duty of taking prompt
and energetic action to secure the benefit of the day of
labor from all within their control.
The Committee deem it unnecessAry to do more, than
thus to present the subject to the people of the three
Stales named. In the Coming sw.mpaigna of our armies,
the labors of the "Sanitary Commission will be greatly
augmented. By the first of Juno 700,000 men—one of
the largest armies of modern times—will be operating in
the field. So large a force scattered over regions to which
the man are unacclimated, must necessarily carry along
with it a large amount of sickness, suffering and death, to
say nothing of the gathered horrore of the battle-field.
These sufferings, it is our bounded duty, as men and
Christians, to relieve. A great and enlightened people,
enjoying um blessings of a government or their own mak
ing, cannot refuse assistance to men suffering to maintain
its authority, and we will not believe that the "GREAT
CENTRAL FAIR," drawing its products from the three
States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, so af
fluent in all mineral, agricultural' and industrial wealth,
shall fall behind any similar effort which has yet been
made Ibr the relief of the Nation's children.
As it is desirable not to multiply circulars, nofurfher
authority than this circular will be necessary for any em
ploying firm or company, or any respectable committee of
Ladies and gentlemen, toproceed at once in the work of this
committee; and it is hoped that under it, organizations will
spring up in all the towns and busy regions in the States
of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.
' Subscriptions will be thankfully acknowledged in the
newspapers of Philadelphia; and it is very desirable that
they commence soon, as each fresh acknowledgment will
stitsulate effort in other localities.
