THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
HARRISBPRG, PA.
FRIDAY EVENING, MILL 1864,
The Removal Question .
We caution our citizens to beware how
they deceive themselves with the idea that
this all-important question to' the central part
of the State will not pass the , Legislature. Its
temporary postponement in the Senate is •no
advantage to us, except, that it gives the
zens of the interior a little time to express
their disapproval of the wicked scheme.
The speculators of the Philadelphia Coun
cils are still lurl4lig about the Legislature,
attempting to influence menthers on the sub
ject, and unless the City Council of Harris
burg provide means for the purchase of an
Executive mansion, we will have another,
misrepresentation .:about extortion. In 44'
event we cannot be responsible.for what may
transpire.
Pma...umpira. has frequently complained of
the manner in which New York has MonOpolii
ed the benefits of the National Government. In
the attempts of New York to remoirg the blint
from the former to the latter city, much has
been written and•spoken .of the greed, orthe
Gothamites, and we have on all such occasions
defended the interests of the metropolis'on the
Delaware. But how must we; as *well as the
people of all the other counties of , the Com
monwealth, regard the present efforts of. Phi
ladelphia to gobble up all tht benefits to be
derived from the State Government? the
object of removing the capital from Blarris
burg to Philadelphia, is -merely, to subserve
the local interests of that city,
s it the peril of
the dignity of the Commonwealth and the s ac-
rifice of the welfare of the people of the ru-,
ral districts. Philadelphia has interests
which, in time, may possibly 'be effected, by
the precedent she is now making. 'Let lie-
beware, therefore, that she is not called to ;ter
count for her present action. •
The Aiony of the Potomac—Will . Lec be

and Invade the Itorthl
We are fast approaching the„ crisis
,in the
progress of this war. • A collision between
the Army of the Potbmac and that led by
Gen. Lee, must .decide, not merely the prow
ess of our soldiers and the skill of their com
manders, but it will settle the - destiny of the
pation. It is useless to disguise- the fad, that
communities have now Contributed that
amount in men and money, which leave them
on the verge where patience ccases.to be a.
virtue, and where great changes take place
for better or forworse. Hence tee mu:stsitceeed
with the armies , now in the field, OR THE WAR
WILL RESOLVE ITSELF INTO ONE OF VAST TUMULT,
COMPELLING EVERY. AN TO ENTRENCH IMMIX
ISt HIS OWN HOME, THERETO' DEPEND OE PERISH
turn me FAMILY. We might as well be ap
prised of this fact now, as have it burst upon
us suddenly in all its fearfid reality. In
deed the truth has been kept too long fronl the
people—the nation has pursued its plea Sure,
the speculator has accumulated his "wealth,
the politiCian has ;achieved his success and.
all the while the people have -been making.
their sacrifices, wives giving up husbands,
fathers devoting sons„ to swell the ranks of the
armies, that liberty might be preserved and
the nation rescued from danger. For three
years this has lasted, ailituoWthe . ri.d must Come.
We oannot stand another year of expense, of
waste by the loss -of labor and the riot of
ation, such as pave -sa7r7eric.ethree
years - 51 - 11 m war. ,—?he Army of the Potomac
must end tketeir—or its, defeat, during the cam
paign now just being inaugurated, will open the
door wide for the invasion of the North, anti thus
seal former the doom of the li'epul?iie
Are the States thatlie; in the •path of inva-,
aim . , ready for the emergency? Is Pennsyl
vania prepared to resist' a column' of rebels ad
vaneing into her territory? These may seem
like foolish questions, but the lack;of resist
ance should •the danger apprehended really
demonstrate itself, will appear in the eyes 'of
the world still more foolish. Gen: Lee Will
lead all the chosen veterans of the rebel ar
mies, in his athance northward—orhe : will
combat the adVarice orthe Army of the Poto
mac equally as vigorously, Thus far the
rebels have felt the necessity' of success mere
forcibly than have the people of the loyal
States. The Southern people, engaged in the
rebellion, understand the necessity of victory
much better than do Ihepeople.of the North.
The: South is a unit: on 'success, while (we
blush to write the fact) the North is divided
and some of the bitterest enemies orthe Gov
ernment are 'to be found,,in our midst. Hence,
if disasters should overtake us by invasion, We
would have the invader. to repel, and his sym
pathizer to quell, with the 'same blow. If Lee
gets as far North the oaniirig summer as he did
theigst,the copperhead le ,ders,wiUbemoreproniyt
in supporting him than they. were , a year ago.
God grant that the circumstances necessary
for the verification of snoli , a prediction may
never occur. Neverthelhsir it id' plain to' all
who have the sense to comprehend, the Pos
ition, that the copperheads only Want oppor
tunity to prove that we are right in our appreL
hensiong.

The Removal of the Capital.
We continue the publication of extracts
from journals averse to the removal of the
capital from Harrisburg to Phkadelphia. In
addition to, these extracts, we notice that re
monstrances oii the subject tieing presented
in both -houses of the Legislature. It be
hooves the people, everywhere, throughout
the Commonwealth, to move in this matter,
and at once pour their remonstrances into the
Legislature, warning their representatives
against the consummation of this foul wrong.
—Below are extracts which we commend to
the attention of those laboring for removal:
[From the Cumberland Valley Journal:]'
REMOVAL or THE QAprren.—A very deter
mined effort is, being, made to remove the
State capital from Harrisburg toltnladelphia,
the latter city, through her councils, having
offered the ground upon .which to erect the
public buildings, and also one million of dol.
tars for, their, erection. .
The first resolution, foreshadowing the re
movtil of the - capital, passed - the Senate on
Friday last, by a vote of nineteen to ten, and
the subject postponed until" this (ThuisdaY)
morning.
As might beesupposed, the people of Harris ;
burg are naturally indignant at this: attempt
of the Philadelphians to rob their city of her
political importance; and they are not alone
in their denunciations of this attempt to re
move the State capital from its . central and
convenient location; to the remote one ef,Rhil
adelphia. The. people of the interior cnnnties,
are decidedly adverse to the.cliange, and ,pe
titions' remonstrating against this 'untur
ranted project have obtained 'nurneibus
ers. in, this pliee alone, a petition to this ef
fect was, signed. ,by nearly four hundred
citizens: As Pennsylvanians, we. all .. feel
an interettl lin Philadelphia—our - commer
cial metropolis—and the people of every , por
tion of the State have taken a deep intereatiri
her prosperity, and none more than those of
Harrisburg; and it is unfair:that - she-should
Seek to monopolize all the importance of ;
ir
the State.
.Bt, there are - other and . 'weightier -
considerations in opposition to the proposed
change, which we hive but little time .to
dwell upon at 'present. , 'The corruption of
our Legislature (and We not know ilia:tit
is any more- so than that of any other State)"
has been. a matter of complaint and denuncia
tion :for years:- , Tan it be supposed that the
propbseitoliange will remedy this evil?. - In'a
large city, ; such as Philadelphia ; with,benn4 7 ,
less Wealth. and hosts, of selieming.and
principled politieltuis4alich As are always to
he found in large cities-Lit will be next to im
possible to secure any legislation conflicting
in the least with the interests of the cityLor
any of = her,. wealthy corporations, however
much to. the: nterest of other portions of the
State. /Ind, if money cannot ,effect the
sired Objeet with the.nieffilierk, it - can easily
secure mob violence to accomplish it.
We do not suppose that the meat,zealone ;
advocates.of the proposed. hange urge.timpon .
'the ground 2of ceonorny:" • Our' Legislature
; will most Assuredly not cost the . "State'anY
less than itdoeino*.. not
.' cost
innumerable
incentips•to spend money, it may be reason
ably 'HApposed that•the cost of living will be
greater, and once there, the matter of in
creasing the salary of :the -members, (already
ample for the services. rendered,) present
under ; consideration, . opine would not
be long debated, but passed,' at" once; aye,
increased still more. The offer: of- Philadel
phia to appropriate a million of dollars, for
the erection of the buildings, appears mit
uffieent indeed,. but we are, greatly mistaken
if large appropriations from the treasury of
the State will not be needed in addition, to
put things in proper Conditicat-and it is quite
unnecessary to remind the , people that they
have sufficient of taxes already.

of the State removed from Harrisburg to Phil

persons from all portions-of• the State. The
people are satisfied with the location; and we
don't think the legislators of Pennsylvania
were elected tO 'change , the loeatien of the

LEE ABOUT TO BE REINFORCED
WASHINGTON, April 14.—1 t is reported in
the Army of•the. Potomac, that Gen. Lee had
issued orders directing his officers to send all
their sparekbaggage to Richmond before the
9th instant(Saturday last), as after that date
the railroad, ;would be used exclusively in
bringing up reinforcements for his army.
The guerrillas are again becoming danger
ously active. On Monday night they captured
in the vicinity of Union Milig, near Bull Run
battle field, six—or as some reports have it—
thirteen of our men, and killed a captain in
the 2d Pennsylvania Reserves.
COLORADO TERRITORY.
A detachment of the Ist Colorado Cavalry
had a fight on the north side of the Platte
river, eighty-five miles east of here, on the
12th instant. Two soldiers were killed and
four wounded. Several Indians were killed.
Strong detachments of troops have been sent
against the Indians in various directions.
Some uneasiness is caused by the conduct of
the Sioux, Arrapahoes and Cheyennes. They
are making unusual efforts to obtain arms
and ammunition, and have recently stam
peded several herds of cattle near here. Strin
gent orders have been issued forbideing the
sale of arms or ammunition to the Indians.
Mexican papers of the 2d instant contain no
news.
Governor Goodman of Arizona, with an ex

ELECTRICITY.
•
TIES. .WYETH • and CREAMER, Eclectic
and Electiopithic , physicians, respectfully oiler
theirprofesEdonal servicesitt all the 1111i0113 branches of
theprotession, for the treatment of all acute and chronic
forms of disease:,
The remedial means they employ in the treatment of
disease consist of Galvanism, Elem. 114,,,ait
'ism, the Swedish method of movement cure, a
few Eclectic nabdicines when deenied necessary, and is
fact all the natural carative agents that may successfully
Ye brought to baac upon the disease.
Theydo Wish: to Be understood as arrogating Id
themselves any superiority of professional skill, but they
believe the remedies they employin the treatment of
ease farsuperier tothose generally employed byphysiciano,
from the fact that they act in perfect harmony with the
laws governing and 'controlling the hatnan'sy-stem. Ta
this, and the fact that they confine themselves to no par
ticular' parity or system, they attribute their success to
controlling disease.
The principal agent they employ in the treatment of
disease,'namely, Electricity, is an agent wonderful in it;
phenomena and powerful in its effects for good or ill. it
is an ever present, all-pervrding principle, ' governing all
things, from rolling worlds down to the invisible particles
of gassetans matter. We see it in the lightning's Rani, and
hear-the manifestations of its power in the muttering
thunder. It is the cause of all decomposition, recompo
sitionand transformation. It excitesall motion. It is the
exciting cause of life, growth,. decay and death. It
caus e s secretion, excretion, digestion.. 1t lays bold of the
crude food in the stomach, converts it into a state of flu
idity, transmutes it into arterial blood, and sends it on tin
bripOrtatit office of fidnAring nutriment according to the
necessities of the body., It is the nerve vital acid, the
great agent through which the mind acts upon the body.
It is the cause of all causes except the first goat cause,
the Infinite Mind whiCh 'created it and brought it into use.
These may appear like mere assertions, but they are
facts admitting of strong and-irresistible proof. Is it thee,
to be wondered at that en agent so wonderful in its phe
nomena, so powerful in its manifestations and so intimate
ly connected with all the operations of the human 53 , t•
tem, should be almost obsolete in its power of controlling
dieeasef Certainly:not. It is a natural sequence and
folloWs as surely as day follows night.
Among the diseases which are found to yield readdy
Electricity, in conjunction with proper adjunct treatm'ul,
may be mentioned the following; Incipient Ccasumehoo,
Paralysis, Elpiliptic, Hysteric and other COIIVaii O D;
Neuralgia, in its worst forms, IthnematMm, indanimatery
and chronic; all diseaees of the nervous system; ikysliefl
sia cured in a fewtreatnients; all diseases of the unatrY
and genital organS; Female Diseases, Asthma, Piles : rod
Prolapses Ani; - Amanrosis and- all kindred facetious of
the eye; Auretrua, Strictures, all skin diseases, ,te.

fitted and no case taken where some relief cannot be of
forded. Consultation free, Office, South Second street,
