HARRISBURG, PA
MONDAY EVE NLND, APRIL 25,1864.
The Evening Bulletin.
Perhaps Mr. Gibson Peacock imagines he
has demolished all Harrisburg; but in order
that he may not be mistaken as to the con
dition of the newspaper press brthis locality,
we beg to assure him that therCis a grease
spot left of the TirAckaimr.: Whenl'we re
baked him for the base ingratitUde Winch he
displays to the locality where his bread was
first buttered and his school books paid for,
we acted in response to the men in this city
who were the benefactors of his youth and the
patrons of his family. And because we did
this frankly, Gibson shows the true vulgarity
of his nature, by assailing, with the coarsest
language, the entire press of the State Capi
tal. It may be, that the rural, press is not
conducted with that large ability which dis
tinguishes the columns of the Bulletin—an
ability which exhibits itself in not being able to
discriminate between the charter of a railroad
to run through one of the North-eastern coun
ties of the State, and that of a road to traverse
an avenue in the city of Philadelphia—an ability
which delights in discussing the Schleswig
Holstein question, or runs mad' in fulsdnie
praises of a dutch-dancer or a macaroni-eating
vocalist—while at the same time its columns
exhibit either the grossest ignorance or the
most wilful indifference to the geography and
the interests of the State; when either lay out
side the corporate limits of - Philadelphia.
The Bulletin charges that the newspapers of
Harrisburg are dependent, for their existence,.
on the patronage which they derive from the ,
State Government.- When Gibson Peacock
made that declaration, he knew -he wag com
mitting a falsehood to paper. Neither of the
journals printed and published in this city,
are benefitted to the amount of a shilling by a
patronage of the Government, which they
would not derive if the Government were le
eated elsewhere. Indeed, all; work in the shape
of printing, done in the city of Harrisburg, for
the State is paid for at prices regulated by,
bids, the
-man bidding the lowest getting ` ; `the
job." It.will be thus seen that the newspapers
of Harrisburg depend less upon government
patronage than do the journals in an other
city in the Ccimmonwealth. Even'the stupen 7
dous, magnificent and wonderfully enter
prising Bulletin receives more government pat
ronage than all the newspapers combined in
the city of Harrisburg. But journals equally
learned with the Bulletin on all the great
topics interesting the governments of the
world, have a right to .this patronage. Of
course we do not make pretentious .sifeh as
charaeterize the conduptors of' the Bullehn;
and yet what we do, is done• in good faith of
serving an honest people, 'and not in egotism
unuy -plagiarism:ll's from tb.e New
York 'or London presses.
Gibson Peacock has made the question
of the removal of the Capital one to
subserve• his hatred, of the city of his
birth, and the locality in which repose the
remains of his father. Is it any wonder, then,
when we remind him Of 'his base ingratitude
and apostacy, that ha shoild return oar` re! :
bake of his faithlessness with 2 ribaldry:
When he next visits Harrisburgr the .honest
people who sustained him in his yiantli, will
take his measur&for a fool's full suit.
The Election of Delegates to the National
Convention Confided to the People.
The action of the Union State Central Com
mittee, in confiding the election of delegatts
to the Union National Convention to the peo
ple, has elicited not only the approiing com
ments of the press in other States, hilt we
now notice that the Union men ii several. of
the Western States are discussingthe ,propri
ety of adopting the Seine Plan. It is argued,
with great truth, that in the selection of dele
gates to all conventions, by the of system,.
the people, who constitute the real strength
of parties, have never been fairly ; consulted.
Out of the neglect thus to . consult and
concede the power of, selecting, delegates
to nominating conventions, to the „people,
has sprung all the corruption that has ever
disgraced American politic% :A. few men
were in the habit of meeting in a corner, ar
ranging plan% and fixing on delegaies to suit
their own purposes, and then demanding that
the party support them, or charging those who
have independently refused with factiousness.
Wearied of this corruption, the people of
Pennsylvania insisted upon selecting their
own delegates; and we are glad to see the ex
ample set by the Union Central Committee of
this State, so promptly followed by the Union
men of other States. It is the only plan which
can ensure as well as secure the, purity of
politics. 'lt is placing the 'power to select
candidates for all offices where it justly be
longs, with the people.
A Philadelphia Journals' Oplition of the.
Philadephla Delegates-in lhe L
The Legislature of Pennsylvania has been
in session for sixteen weeks. In two weeks
more it will adjourn. The Philadelphia dele
gation will return to their homes laden with
the plunder of a winter's canildign. They will
be dripping with spoils.
W,ecopy s the above from the Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph. Had the
.same charges
been Printed in any of the rural .-press, the
fact would hiire been characterized as vulgEii.
And yet Philadelphia never had a delegation in
the Legislature, composed of men more de

legislation or larger - appropriations to be dia=

Our Congressman
The family representative of Gen. Miller in
the Tory Organ, devotes two columns to his
defence this morning. It is natural that
"the family" should feel conerned for, the
General ; but the a,ttempt, to I;
from the scorn »of a cortitithenci he
and_ disgraced,;,
prove an utter failoe. When find , V53 4 . 4 ..s
a candidate • for Congress, he pledged he
loyal people of this district that he would
support the Government in all its efforts to
Tut down the slaveholders' rebellion. How
has he discharged the obligation of this pledge?
Let the record answer. From the hour that
he swore to support the donititiltibn as a Con
gressman, Miller has suffered -himself" to be
Made use of to accomplish the paricoses and
ideas of Fernando WOod, until this. Congres
sional district, through its representative,
Miller, is now controlled by an arrant New
York traitor. But thank God, the disgrace is
destined.to be of short duration. ,
