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,

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:

ELECTRICITY.
DRS. WYETH - and CREAMER, Eclectic
and Eloctropathic physicians, re4re.-tfelly offer
theirprofogaosal seivices in all the brandy:: or
the profesSion, for the treatment al all acute ea..' chronic
forms of disease. -
The remedial means they employ in the treounent of
disease consist of - Magnetism, Galvanism, Elect rwatagnet
ism, the Swedish method of J r - , Jized movement cure. a
few Eclectic.: medicines when:deemed necessary, and t:;
fact all the natural curative agents that. may auccms: tiny
be brought Ribear upon the disease. _
They do not wish to be understood as arrogatiw 1 , 0
themselves any superiority of proftssional skill, hut the, -
believe the remedies they employ in thetrcatment of .11.-;‘•
ease far superior to those generally employed 42/physicians.
from the fact that they act in perfect harmony with th •
laws governing and controlling the human system. To
this, and the fact that they confine themselves to no par
ticular pathy or system, they attribute their suoy.,6
controlling disease.
The principal agent they employ in the treatment of
disiase;namely, Electricity, is an agent wonderful in
phenomena and powerful inns effects for good or dl. It
is in ever present., all-pervriling principle, gorirrre4 all
thags, from rolling worlds down to the invisible pare. le
of gasseeus matter. We see it In the lightning's [Leh ..ad
bear the manifestations of its power in the mutt rig
thunder. It is the cause of all decorawsition, rceeitito
aition and transformation: It excites all motion, It is Si
exciting cause of life, growth, decay and death. It
causes secretionaxcreticrn, digestion. It lays hold of the
crude 'food in the ktomack converts it into a slate of flu
idity, transmutes it into arterial blood, and scuds it on us
important office of supplying nutriment ae. °alum to the
necessities of' thebody.' It Is the nerve vital dual, dm
great agent through which the mind acts al. a the hotly.
It is the cause of all causes except the first _n at cat-e,
the Infinite Mind which created it and brecyla it ihts
These may appear like mere assertions, len they .inz.
facts admitting of strong and irresistible proof. Is it then,
to be wondered at that an agent so wonderful in its ola•-
nornena, so,ptiwerful in its numifestlitions and so intimate
connected with all the operations of the bumau
tetn,..stionld be almost absolute in its power of enatroliaai
disease r Certainly not- It is a natural sequence and
follows as surely as day follows night.
Among the diseeses Which 4e found to yield read dy
Electricity, in conjunction with proper adjunct treatmeut,
may be mentioned the following; Incipient Consumption.
Paralysis, Elpiliptfe, Hysteric and other Convulsioe;,
Neuralgia, in its worst forms, Rhnematism, inflartuumerj
and chronic; all diseases or the nervous system; Hyspep
sia cured in a few treatments; all diseases of the urinary
and genital organs ; Female Diseases, Asthma, Piles ta. l
