THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
The War Debts.
One of the main arguments of the copper
head orators and organs, when they are en
gaged in assailing the Government, consists
of the declaration that the resources and labor
of the country mill prove inadequate to the,
payment of the "war debts." If this decla
ration was made with an honest purpose to
warn the nation from any actual extravagance,
or to guide those in authority from error, we
would in duty bound be compelled to accept
the admonition. But the allusion to the war
debt, and the charge of extravagance, by the
copperhead orators and organs, are indulged
in more to destroy confidence in the national
credit, than to counsel those engaged in the
direction of national affairs, to be discreet in
the management of its finances. If the copi*-
head leaders can.bring disaster to our finances,
defeat to our armies will naturally follow.
Hence the persistent effort to decry the credit
and reproach the financial operations of the
Government. But while we are constrained ;
to despise these petty plots of our political
opponents to circumvent the Government in
all its efforts to - put an end to the slave
holders' rebellion, we must take . counsel of
ourselves, and jealously guard not only the
national credit, but the credit of our wards,
cities, boroughs, townships and emmties.—
It is not the debt of the National Gov
ernment that should appal or, even for a mo
ment, startle any man, as every dollar of that
apparently immense expenditure was disbursed
for a just and a necessary purpose. When
the war is over the National Government will
derive a revenue.from its trade with Europe
and the sale of its public lands, which will be
ample to meet the interest of our debt, and
eventually cancel the whole indebtedness.—
A.ud beside all this, we have a right to expect
that the sale of the confiscated lands of trai
tors will contribute largely to the liquidation
of the public debt, so that in reality we have
no reason to apprehend danger or financial
depression from the liabilities of the National
Government. The Nation is capable of car
rying millions of indebtedness without esteem
ing it a burden. But while the Nation is thus
able to incur debt, it becomes a question whe
ther the different municipalities, townships,
and counties in the country are not unwisely
adding to their indebtedness, and whether from
this indebtedness, great suffering will not
eventually follow. Wards, cities and counties
have been exhibiting their munificence to such
a degree that it is now impossible to conduct
the most ordinary operations in favor of the
Government, without expending large sums
of money. Indeed, by a sort of system which
no one will want shortly to father, and from
the responsibilities of which we are sure
to suffer, every man has been taught to
believe that there is money—nothing but
money vast and incalculable sums of
lucre in the service of the Nation. With
the knowledge that the expense of this
war must form a National debt partly to
be liquidated by the labor of the land—with
the fact that the States are adding to their in
debtedness, the extravagance of municipalities
is unabated—vast sums are stiltedly appro
priated by wards and districts for bounties—
great debts are incurred to prevent the opera
tion of the draft—and thus the country seems
actually to have become insane on the subject
of money. The aggregate of these liabilities,
and the pressing necessities which will be cre
• ated by the' demands for liquidation, will some
day become productive of great evil. And
what adds to the evil now, is the fact that by
all these vast disbursements, a very small
share finds its way to relieve the families of
the soldiers for whose benefit such appropria
tions are made. Of the money which has been
expended in bounties, when we calculate the
amount which the officers in command of
companies and regiments have dishonestly
deprived the private soldier, the sums which
bounty agents have managed to filch from the
veteran and the raw recruit, with the incaleu-
lable thousands that have been squandered at
the gaming table and among harlots, it will
be seen that the object to relieve the soldier's
family, in seven cases out of ten', has been a
failure. And yet this expense must' some day
fall back on the labor of the country. Indeed,
it is the embarrassments of such an extrava
gance, and not the necessary expen.Ses of the
National Government, which constitute the
actual burden of the people. The people are
amply able to sustain Ole necessary expenses
of the National Government, but it is not pos
sible for the labor of the country to carry the
load of debt which is being created by every
municipality in the land. This expansion of
credit must result in a disastrous explosion; a
result for which the Government will, but
really should not, be held responsible.
—What we want in order to preserve our
financial equilibrium, is more economy in the
municipal authorities of _the land,- and -the
State and National Governments will, then be
able to meet their liabilities Without a show of
oppressing the people. But if, whenever a
call for troops is made; these municipal au
thorities resort to the expenditure of vast
sums of money to get soldiers; the debt thus
contracted cannot fail to become burdensome.
This is a subject of vast importance and iit
terest; too important, indeed, for discussion
in a single newspaper article. It is one which
everyman in each community should seriously
examine, and so dispose of as to prevent the
recurrence of the waste of money in the fu
ture which has so disgraced with extravagance
the past few years.

The Tory Organ and the Tory Lumber-
ton
Mr. Lumberton retires from the Senate after a
full term of marked ability and uselalness.--To-
EY ORGAN.
Our allusion to the retired tory Senator,
Lamberton, yesterday, elicited the above ri
diculous attempt at flattery from the Tory Or
gan this morning. To such nauseous trash
we will, of course, venture no reply ; but we
submit it to the decision of those who were
daily present during the late session of the
Senate, and we offer the record in proof, to
show that the, utterances and the votes of
Lamberton were alike treasonable to the coma
try aria diagraceful to the ComthonVealth.—
From the hour
.of the meetingto,the noon of
the adjournment iattheAernAte, Senator Lum
berton took every opportunity, and made his
beSt efforts to sham that he was ati enemy of
the country—a foe to the national authority,
and a Mend to those in rebellion. We doubt
if any Senator in the .Legislatures of any of
the revolted States, would hemean himself in
the use of language such as Lamberton gloried
in applying to the Federal Government. He
was not only the maligner of the men vested
with nationel authority, but he was the active
traducer of the heroes who are periling their
lives in the national defence. He not only re-
fused to recognize the power and the right of
the Federal Government to crush the rebellion
by armed force, but he ridiculed the efforts of
,the '‘rand'sillirof the North" to conquer and
overthrow the chivalrous conspirators of the
South. Yet this a course of action which the
Tory Organ describes as being of " marked
ability and usefulness ! " Certainly it WEIS
" able and " useful, " .as Seriator Lamberton
intended that it should be, to the slave-driving,
cu'.-throat Monies of his Col(7lfry!
GEORGE SAIthERSON, the editor of the Lon
easter Intelligeneer, having
. assailed General
Cameron with. Improvok - ed brptality, our
friend Geist, of the Evening Express, thus
sharply replies:
Don t Like It !—The Intelligence) . seems to
have been severely wrenched by the aPpoint
ment of General Simon Cameron as Chairman
of the Union State Central Committee, and
thereupon warns its readers to ‘'look out for
greenbacks !" The editor of the home organ
of Mr. Buchanan has good reason to know
that Gen. Cameron will make a most active and
efficient chairman, and that under hiS auspi
ces the approaching campaign will' be con
ducted in such a manner as to give the oppo
nents of honest Old Abea hard road to travel.
'When Gen.. Cameron undertakes to do a thing,
he does it Well, and none know this fact bet
ter than his political opponents.

day and Wednesday, at. Culpepper, Jacobs',
Germania and Ely's Ford. No rebels were
seen, except a few pickets, who :retired as we
advanced. - If Lee - intends - to -make a Stand
this side of Richmond, it is,possible he may
be met near the old battle-ground of Chancel
lorsville, but it is the general impression that
he has fallen back, from his^ position on the
Rapidan to Richmond, in order to protect
that city from the formidable force now march
ing upon it from the rear, and which is as
likely to strike on one side of the James river
as the other.
Culpepper is being strongly fortified, and
will be used as a depot for stores.
It is reported here to-day that a strong col
umn of troops under Gen. Conch and
,Sigel
are msvpiling from 'Winchester up the She-,
nandoahValley as a co-operating coltrm, des-,
tined eventually to cut the Virginia and Ten
nessee Railroad, while Butler's force, or part
of it, strikes the other railroad at or near Pe
tersburg, thus severing all railroad COMMII-'
nications between Richmond and the South.
Gen. - Butler took the field in person at the
head of the army on the Peninsula yesterday,
and his host is marshaled by such leaders as
W. F. Smith, Gilmore. Terry and Godfrey
Weitzel.
The movement assumes au eq)editionary,
character. An immense fleet of transports,
and a strong squadron' of monitors and gun
boats will convoy it up one of thoseslaroad
rivers to the gates or to the back door of Rich
moild, and perhaps the iron-clads may once
more try the strength of the rebel. batteries
that line the James, the Pamunkey and the
Rappahannock.
The feeling prevails that there is 'desperate
work before this army. But there - is nerve
and• strength for it, The ircin-clads lie in the

of gunboats are in communication with nein.
All the auguries are favorable.

XXXVITith Congress---First Session.
HOUSE. OF REPRESENTATIVES
- -
WA.sumbrox, May 5.
- Mr. Garfield • said-that fermi - - -, had - been-de
stroyed, etc., but the House had confined
themselves to paying only for quartermaster
and commissary stores directly taken, and
to cases of, claims that have been audited and
adjudicated like those of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Smith (Kentucky) advocated the pend
ing amendment. Ninety z nixte out of a hun
dred of those who were called out in his State
were taken from the plough, the anvil, the
shop and machine works. Why should there
be delay. in 'their payment and why should
not the claims be paid ai they are adjusted,
without causing the claimants to wait a year
or more? •
Mr. Hall (Missouri) explained the reason
why a commission was appointed concerning
the home guard of Missouri. They Were
neither Mustered into the service of Missouri
or the. United States, but went into service in
defiance of law under a pressing emergency.
In the case now before them,, there was no
occasion for a commission for 'the militia of
pennsylvania, which were regdarly entered
into the service and the State baying produced
the proper youehers.
Messrs. Wade and Gooch, theaub committee
appointed by joint committee on the conduct
and expenditures of the war, with instructions
to proceed to such points as they might deem
necessary for the purpose of taking testimony
in regard to the massacre Of Fort Pillow, sub
mitted their report to, the joint committee,
together with acdompanying testimony and
papers. Although your committee were in
strueted to inquire only in, reference to the
attack, capture and massacre at Fort Pillow,
they have deemed it proper to take some tes,
tirnony in refelence to the'operations of For
rest and his command immediately preceding
and subsequent to that terrible transaction.,
It will. appear from testimony thris taken
that. the atrocities committed at Fort Pillow
were, not the result. of passions excited, by
the heat of conflict, but were results of. a po
licy deliberately decided upon and unhesi
tatingly announced. Even if the uncertainty
of the fate of those' officers and men belong
ing to colored regiments, who have heretofore
been taken prisoners by the rebels, has failed
to convince the authorities of our government
of this fact, the testimony herewith submitted
must convince oven the most skeptical that
it is the intention 'of iebel authorities not to
recognize the officers and men of our colored
regiments as entitled to the treatment ac
corded by all civilized'natione to prisoners of
war.
The declarations of Forrest and his officers,
both before and after the capture of_Fort -Pil
low, as testified by such of our men as have
escaped, after being taken byhim; the threats
contained in the various demands for surren
der made at Paducah, Columbus and other
places, the renewal of the' massacre, the
morning, after the capture of Port Pillow, the
statements made by the rebel officers to the
,officers of our gunboats; who received the few
survivors at Fort Pill Ow—all this proves most
conclusively the policy they have determined
to adopt. • ;1
The operations of the , enemy at Paducah
were characterized by the same bad faith and
treachery that seem to have °become the set
tled policy of Forreskand his, command. The
flag of truce was taken advantage of there, as
elsewhere, to secure desirable positions which
the rebels were unable to obtain by fair and
honorable means, and also to afford oppor
tunities for plundering private as well as gov
ernment property. ,
At Paducah, the rebels were , guilty of acts
more cowardly if possible than any they have
practiced elsewhere. When the attack was
made, the officers of the fort and of the gun
boats advised the women and children to. go
down to the river for the purpose of being
taken across out of danger. As they were
leaving the town for that purpose, the rebel
sharpshooters mingled with them, and shield
ed by their presence, advanced and fired upon
the gunboats, wounding some of our officers
and men. Our forces could not return the
fire without endangering the lives of the wo
men and children. The rebels also, placed
women in front of their lines as they moved
on the fort, and were prweeding to;take posi
tions while the flag, of truce was at the fort, in
order to compel our men to withhold theirfire
out of regard for the lives 'of the women who
were made use of in this most cowardly
manner. • -
The committee rose, when the question was
stated on the passage the, bill which appro
priates seven hundred thousand dollars to
reimburse individuals and institutions who. ,
advanced moneyto pay Pennsylvania soldiers
called out by the proclamation of the Presi
dent and the Governor of Pennsylvania to
repel the rebel invasion by the forces under
Gen. Lee, in the spremer of 1863, and who
were in actual service of the United States,
provided no part of the money shall be paid
to any militia, of any, State Who refused to be
mustered into the service of the United States.
Mr. Spalding moved to lay the bill on the
table, which was carried by a vote of 66 yeas
to 60 nays.
The House, by two majority, refused. to lay
on the table a. Aiotion to reconsider tlie vote
by which the bill was. defeated.
Mr. Robinson moved to reconsider the vote
by which the bill was tabled.
Mr. Spalding moved today Mr. Robinson's
motion on the table, which was decided in

which the bill was tabled; 67 againit 57.
Mr. Schenck moved to refer the bill to the
Committe on Military affairs, which was disa
greed to by a vote of 54 yeas to 80 nays.
The question now came up on the passage
of the bill as giien ,above---appropriatimg
$700,000 for the Pennsylyania militia, &c. It
was amended by appropriating $1.5,A00. to de
fray the expenses of other loyal. States in re
pelling raid.s.
Mr. Morrill moved to lay the bill on,the
table, which was decided in the negative, yeas
59 nays 78. • •
The bill was then passed by a vote of 71

Mr. Morrill (Vermont) Moyed that the even

The Rumored Raid in Maryland.
WASHINGTON, May 5.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad is not at
all interrupted. But it was threatened for a
time early this morning by seventy mounted
men, under M'Neill, of West Virginia, who
came in at Piedmont, 28 miles west of
Charlestown:and, after cutting the telegraph
wires, burning several cars, running half a
dozen locomotives off the track, and frighten
ing the women and children badly, left as
suddenly as they appeared, in tear of the ap
proach of Gem Kelley and his detachment,
'gathered up at Cumberland and New Creek,
who sallied out promptly in search of the
_marauders.
No passengers or freight were injured or
captured, and all the trains arc running regu
larly. The wife of Major General Wallace was
on the eastward passenger train, and the
daughter of General Schenck were on that
bound West ; but fortunately with other
passengers, they escaped molestation.
To prevent a repetition of these raids, a
very large force of Ohio volunteers has already
repaired to the scene, by order of the Secre
tary of War and Governor Brough, and the
toad is now amply protected.
