2tltgraplj THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN. HARRISBURG, PA THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 14,1864. The Removal Question The joint resolution on the subject, of the removal of the Capital from. this city to Phila delphia same up in order on its final pas sage in the Senate this morning. Mr:LOWEY declared that the Senate had wasted sufficient time on the subject, and he thereforei*Oved that the whole subject,be postporieddiiclefi nitely. On the question, Will the Senate agree to the. indefinite postponement? the yeas and nays were required, and were as YEAS—Messrs. Bucher, Champneys, Dun lap, Fleming, Houe, Hopkins, Householder. Johnson, Lamberton, b Lowry, M'Candless, M'- Sherry, Montgomery and Wallace-14 Ness—Messrs. Beardslee,relymer, Connell, Donovan, Glatz, Graham, Kinsey, Latta, Nich ols, Reilly, Ridgway, Smith, Stark, Stein, Tur rell, Wilson, Worthington and. Penney, Speak er-18. So the question was determinecl•in the nega= tive. Mr. noncom moved that the whole subject be referred to a select committee of five, which motion was agreed to. The chair has the ap pointment of thii committee, to whose action we may look for any further. proceecliugs on. the removal question.. . The Presidency` We notice that certain of the journals M. Ibis and other States, that have either always been the opponents of the National Administra tion, or strenuously lately objected to the re- election of Abraham Lincoln—we notice), that these journals are now acbively engaged in fomenting discord or creating schism in our organization, which, if - united, must be vie- torions at the coming Presidential election In. the Western States, those thus engaged, have served upon the name of Gen. Fremont, urging that his nomination is essential to loyal success. In Cincinnati, aOermannews paper, heretofore the medium through ivhicg has passed the most malignant abuse of the Government, has actually hoisted the name of Fremont, with the specious plea that he is the destined "savior of the nation." We do not pretend to write that this is done with the knowledge or tho consent of Gen. Fre mont ; but we do insist that the game is a low and a dirty one, so far as the hypocrites prominent in it are concerned. We now see that it is being attempted in this State.. One of the Sunday papers in Philadelphia is la- boring to ereate capital in the same way, and in its last issue connected the name of Gov. Curtin with the movement in favor of Ger.. Fremont. It is not for us to assert,.that that: soldier has no friends or admirers in Penn sylvania. On the contrary -lie has many— many, who, while they esteem John C. Fre mont for his good qualities, yet believe that neither he or any other prominent soldier or statesman adhering to the great principle in- 'Volved in the struggle for the Union, can maintain his patriotism or retain the confi- deuce of the people, hy interfering Milli, Pop ular preference for Abraham Lincoln. Ws are ledto these remarks by the attenl4,o . tithe Sunday journal referred to, to connect the name of Gov. Curtin with the movement in favor of Gen. Fremont, that journal stating at the same time that Gov. C7qn was induced to lend his influence to Fremont, in the hope of becoming the candidate, for Vice President. In the first place, those who have any knowl- edge of the official duties of Gov. Curtin; will readily understand how little time . lb haS to engage in Presidential schemes, even if he had the inclination thus to chaffer. Gov. Curtin is employed in graver, matters than making Presidents of Vice Presidents. He has official duties devolving upon •him of an importance which leave him no time to engage in the scheme of nominations; while the appearance of the man indicates ,that he has devoted himself to the affairs of the State, until Ws health has bedoillii greatly _if not seriously impaired. But while we can thus emphatically disclaim all connection on the part of Andrew G. Curtin with any move ment to create discord in an organization to which he owes so much, by sustaining the pretensions of any man for the Presidency in the face of the well-declared preferenbes of the people, we can also as decidedly assert that the President of the United States has had no firmer friend in any part of the country, either so far as relates to the support of his policy to crush rebellion, or in approval of the move ment to re-elect him to a second term of the Presidency, than the Governor of Pennsyl vania. Hence the folly of any mere news paper attempting to misinterpret Governor Curtin's preferences on the Presidential ques tion. It is alike lidict4ous and presunaptu ous—scarcely deSerVing of the notice we have felt constrained to giVei it. In the coming Presidential contest Andrew G. Curtin will be found where lie .has ever' stood, with the friends of the Union, the Con stitution and the Government. Until these have been vindicated, their power reccignized by all the States, and their perpetuity render ed certain for all time, in his judgment it is fitting that the aspirations of men for office should give way, and thaethe civilian should imitate the soldier, by devoting himself entirely to the cause of his country against the curse of rebellion. Hence the folly of connecting Governor Curtin's name. with any of the schemes seeking to contqLthe. Presi dential succession. Understanding too well the temper of the people, he is too sagacious (even leer° he so inclined) to interfere with their preferences on so important a subject. But in order that all apprehension may be allayed in this connection, we.candidly assure the loyal men of the State and the Union, that Andrew G. Curtin is the firm friend or _ . the National Adrahadsfrab.on, and' does not anticipate victory for our armies in the field: with more lively feelings of hope and patiiie ism, than - he does the re-election of Abrahaul Lincoln to the Presidency. Representative Orth, of Indiana, a Penn sylvanian. During the debate in Congress, elicited by the disgraceful utterances of a Representative -from Ohib, (Long,) Mr. Orth, of Indiana, in referring to the manner. in which that. blatant, bully, Harris` of`Maryland, endoried called things their right name 'Orth denOunced Harrcw ai.„ll,..traitor.--a4d we are convinced that tio4hirds of the constituents of the Maryland blackguard will endorse the denunciation.' - We are -Nappy to recognize in Mr. Orth a former citizen of Pennsylvania, a native, we believe, of Adams county, having been born and educated in Gettykburg. He is one of the most reliable and useful men in Congress, a gentleman who. cannot fail to be-, come soiled in any, contest he may have with such traitorous co' ards as Harris. Pennsyl vania is always proud of her, sons, whether they, remain at home to contribute to her greatness and glory; or whether they go abroad among the States of the Union, to shed honor upon her name by the uprightness of their course and the patriotism of their career. .

The Removal question—Opluloas of the Press. k The question of removing the capital fro& its present location to the , city of Philadel phia, is beginning to excite the attention of our cotemporaries. The discussion wldch the proposition has elicited from the newspapers of the different counties, may be judged of by the following, from 'a mass: of. articles, for which only we can now fired' room: [From the Lincaster Exiting Express.)
