THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
HARRISBURG,. PA.
FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 20, 1864
Meeting of Conferees.
The Conferees from the counties of Dauphin,
Northumberland, Union, Snyder and Juniata,
appointed for the purpose of electing dele
gates to the . National Convention, will meet
at Sunbury, Northumberland county, on Wed
nesday evening next, May 25, for the purpose
of discharging the duty entrusted to them.
Greene County.
The Union men of Greene county are the
first to unfurl their banner, and inscribe upon
its folds the names of their candidates for the
October election. The following is the ticket
for Assembly and county officers:
Assembly, Zadoc Gordon; Sheriff, Thomas
Hill; District Attorney, Wm. E. Gapen; Com
missioner, Benjamin Way; Auditor, Aaron
Shelby; Poor House Director, Joshua Ackley.
Hon. George V. Lawrence received every
vote but one, as the choice of the Union men of
Greene county, for Congress, and the confer
ees were accordingly instructed to make all
honorable efforts to secure his nomination,.
We congratulate Mr. L. on his success. No
man has ever served a constituency better
than he, and if elected to Congress, will un
doubtedly become one of the most useful
members ever occupying a seat in that body.
Resolutions were passed endorsing the war
to crush the slaveholders' rebellion, approving
the movement to enfranchise the soldier, and
avowing a fixed purpose to labor earnestly
for the re-election of Abraham Lincoln.
The Forged Proclamation-lEl°w the Tricks
of Traitors are Frustrated.
It was only necessary for such sheets as the
Tory Organ to show their resentment to the
action of the Government, in arresting the
proprietors and editors of the organs
of the copperhead factions in Baltimore
and New York, to prove that the forged proc
lamation was the result of the labors of the
copperhead leaders. The Tory Organ this
morning labors very hard to convict the Gov
ernment of tyranny in making these arrests,
and with its usual unfairness attempts to of
fer as an excuse for the action of the Govern
ment, that Secretary Seward has private griefs
to satisfy, which could only be appeased by a
process such as was applied to the World and
the Journal of Comnaree. In order to set this
matter properly before our readers, and cor
rect the mistatements of the Tory Organ and
the .N: Y. Sun, we submit the following from
the New York Evening .Post:
"Three of the daily papers of this city, the
TOUrrati of ecnoc.e. cu, the World and the
Herald, this morning published what purported
to be a proclamation of the President, in
which, after some doleful phrases indicative
of discouragement, he was made to appoint
the 26th of the present month as a day of
fasting and prayer, and at the same time to
call for an additional levy of four hundred
thousand troops to reinforce our armies, which,
if not recruited by voluntary enlistment be
fore the 15th of June, were to be raised by a
peremptory draft.
"The appearance of this document created
universal astonishment. The whole country
had been watching with deep interest the pro
gress of our armies under Grant in Virginia,
and tinder Sherman in the South-west, both
_ of them driving the foe before them, who sul
lenly retreats from post to post, baffled,
worsted, famished, but still -fierce and deter
mined, and keeping up a desperate resistance.
In all respects there was cause to be satisfied
with the advantages gained by these able gen
erals, and reason to expect still greater ad
-vantages from the further execution of their
plans.. Every loyal man in the country con
ceived far stronger hopes of an early subju
gation of the rebels than he had entertained a
few months before. The army, too, seemed
animated by a new spirit, a feeling of confi
dence in its power to conquer and the justice
of its cause which had risen to enthusiasm,
and an eager desire to push to the utmost the
advantages it was gaining.
"The condition of our armies was never so
favorable for achieving great triumphs as now,
when they are beginning to oppose to the al
most frantic efforts of the rebel government
an exaltation of mind which heeds no dis
couragements and breaks through all common
obstacles. At such a time to talk of our weak
ness, as this spurious proclamation does, to
speak of contemplating our situation with a
heavy heart, and to demand an immediate levy
of nearly half a million men as necessary to
. the preservation of our national existence,
would have been a course, if Mr. Lincoln had
really taken it, which would have exposed
him to the suspicion of having lost his senses.
Accordingly, the genuineness of the proclama
tion was immediately denied by many The
mass of readers, however, naturally took for,
granted that it was genuine.
"The feeling of astonishment was succeeded
by the feeling of discontent. The working
population began to exclaim: "What ! a new
levy, when we are told every day that our
generals are driving the enemy. hefore them—
an army of so numerous a number to be filled
up in four weeks, or else a peremptory draft
to take us from our families ? " They already
began to assemble in groups at the corners of
the streets and to talk the matter over in
great excitement. If the proclamation had
been genuine, there might have been serious
disturbances in the city before night—though
the means of suppressing them would have
been far more ample and more easily wielded
than in the famous July riot.
"It appeared, however, on inquiring at all
the telrgraph offices, that the pretended proc
lamation had never come over the wires from
Washington. Two of the newspapers which
had given it circulation placed on their bulle
tins an admission that it was a forgery. It
became clear that it had been manufactured
in tids city, and was palmed upon the press
with a mischievous intent. It is very sin
gular that it should have only appeared in
what are familiarly known as the copperhad
journals.
"What could have been the precise mischief
aimed at? Was it to kindle another riot? A
steamer .went out to-day at noon from this
port to England; was the design to send out
this forged paper and make its confession of
weakness and desperation'themeans of giving
a lift to the rebel loan in the English market?
Was the object to raise the price of gold and
to swell the price of stocks here? The price
of gold immediately rose; stocks went up two
per cent, and the operators in Wall street
were busy. In an hour's time it became
known to the frequenters of 'Changeithat the
proclamation Was a cheat, and the price of
stook dropped down 0 tlyiold rat,. "
"We hear strange accounts, in the mean
time, of the persistence of some of those who
were concerned in publishing the forged doc
ument as genuine. The Jotrnal of Commerce I
for a long time refused to post on its bulletin
the declaration that the proclamation was a
forgery, Some of our merchants, on applying
at thevolfice of that print, were' told that it
came from Washington through the 'usual
channel, the telegraph of the Associated Press
—which, on inquiry, they learned was not the
case. The World immediately placed on its
bulletin the announcement that the paper was
'a forgery, but the World is unfavorably re
membered as having published the false dis
patch which caused so much alarm, of the
defeat and destruction of the Federal troops
under Burnhide—a gross stock-jobbing fraud
Meantime, the proclamation goes from this
port to England in. the, steamer which has
already sailed. It will be read there by many
who will never see the contradictioA of its
genuineness, which we have taken care shall
go out with it. They have lying bulletins
there as well as here, and the object of giving
a momentary increase of value to the worth
less rebel loan will doubtless be in a measure
accomplished.
"Some notice should be taken of this fraud
which shall deter the rogues by whom it was
got up from trifling with the public interests
in this atrocious manner. It is fraud .in the
interest of the rtbels against the public wel
fare and the public peace. It should be care
fully inquired into, and the perpetrators sent
' at once to Fort Lafayette—more richly deserv
ing of incarceration than nine in ten of those
who have been sent thither."
The spurious paper is subjoined, to satisfy
the curiosity of such of our readers as have
not seen it:
t FOTIR HUNDRED. THOUSAND MORE TROOPS
CALLED FOR. • ,
ExEcurivr. Minion, May 17, 1864.
Fellow Citizens of the United States:
"In all seasons of exigencies it becomes a
nation carefully to scrutinize its line of con
duct, humbly to approach the Throne of
Grace, and meekly to implore forgiveness,..
i
wisdom and guidance.
"For reasons known only to Him, it A A
been decreed that this country should tie e
scene of unparalleled outrage, and this: on
7 1
the monumental sufferer of the -- geenth
century. With a. heavy heart, bu a undi
minished confidence in our cause, , approach
the performance of a duty rende/il impera
tive by my sense of weakness byre the Al
mighty, and of justice to the paple.
• "It is not necessary that I should tell you
that the first Virginia eampaigri under Lieut.
General Grant, in whom I hive every confi
dence, and whose courage aid fidelity the
people do well to honor, is virtually closed.
He has conducted his great enterprise with
discreet ability. He has initiated great loss
upon the enemy. He has crippled their
strength:and defeated their plans.
"In view, however, of the situatiat of Vir
ginia, the disaster at Red River, the delay at
Charleston, and the general state of thecoun
try, I, Abraham Lincoln,
do hereby recom
mend that Thursday, the twenty-sixth day of
May, A. D. 1864, be solemnly set apart through
out these United States as a day of fasting,
humiliation and prayer. -
"Deeming, furthermore, that the present
condition of public affairs presents an extra
ordinary occasion, andin view of the pending
expiration of the service of (100,000) one
hundred thousand of our troops, I, Abraham
Lincoln, President of the United States, by
virtue of the poWer vested in me by the Con
stitution and the laws, have thought fit to
call forth the citizens of the United States
batworm tha rigag. of (18). eighteen and (45)
forty-five years, to the aggregate number of
(400,000) four hundred thousand, in Order to
suppress the existing rebellious combinations,
and to cause the due execution of the laws.
"And furthermore, in case any State or
number of States shall fail to furnish by the
fifteenth day of June next their quotas, it is
hereby ordered that the same be raised by an
immediate and peremptory draft: -
The details for this object will be conimu
nicated to the State authorities through' the
War Department. ' ' .- t
"I appeal to all loyal citizens to favor, facil
itate, and aid this effort to maintain the honor,
the integrity; and the existence of our na
tional Union, and the perpetuity of popular
government.

A PROCLAMATION,,,
Consuls Not Exempt from MiWary Duty
It is officially announced by the State De
partment that citizens of the United States
holding commission and recognized as consuls
of foreign powers, are not, by law, exempt
from military service if drafted; therefore the,
mere enrollment of a citizen holding a for
eign consulate will not be held to vacate his
commission, but if he shall be drafted his ex
equatur will be revoked, unless 'he shall have
previously resigned in order that another con
sul may be received in his place.
The following official document has been
received:
A_BELRAM LINCOLN, PRESIDENT OF TICE 'UNITED
STATES OE AMERICA:
To all whom it may Concern:—An exequatnr
bearing date the 3d of May, 1850, having been
issued to Charles Hunt, a citizen of the United
States, recognizing him as Consul of Belgium,
for St. Louis, Mo., and declaring him free to
exercise and enjoy such franchises, powers
and privileges as are allowed to the consuls of
the most favored nations in the United
States, the said Hunt having sought ,to
screen himself from his military; duty
to his country, in thus being invested
with consular functions of a foreign
power in the United States, it is deemed
advisable that the said Charles Hunt should
no longer be permitted to continue in
the exercise of said functions and privi
leges. This is, therefore, to, declare
that I no longer recognize the said
Charles S. Hunt as Consul of Belgium for
St. Louis, Mo., and will not permit him to
exercise or enjoy any of the functions, powers,
or privileges allowed to Consuls of that na
tion, and that I do hereby wholly revoke and
annul the said exeqtiatur heretofore given,
and do declare the same to be absolutely null
and void from this date forward.
In testimony Whereof I have caused these
letters to be made patent and the seal of the
United States of America to be herewith af
fixed..
Given under my hand at Washingign, this
19th.day of May, in the year of our Lord,
1864, and of the independence of the United
States of America the 88th.

WASHINGTON, Thursday May 19.
The skirmishing which began yesterday
morning at daybreak settled into .a heavy en
gagement, lasting through, the forenoon, and
culminating in another brilliant charge by.
Hancock on our right, when he drove the en
emy a short distance, and carried their first
line of iutrenchments. tip to our last advices
he had steadily defeated ell attempts of the
enemy to expel him from this position. Aside
from this success the results of the engage
ment are understood to have been somewhat
favorable, though in no sense decisive. The
rebels maintained, their position with great
"tenacity, and officers from headquarters de
scribe their fortifications as exceedingly for
midatle.
The belief is general in military circles here
that. the struggle must, in all probability, have
been.renewed-to-day. .
• LATER.
WAsinuoToN, May • 19-11:20 p. —Advices
from headquarters of the army up`to 10 o'clock
this mon:l44'state that the battle of Asterday
had not been renewed up to that date. Oar.
lines had beerralowly•but• steadily advaficed
upon the .enemy. ' •
The latest edition of this evening's "Repub
lican" has . the following; but up to this date
there is no official confa:mation of it: •
" The most reliable information from the
front to-day is:that Gen. Grant succeeded yes
terday in nearly turning the whole of Lee's
right..
This was done more by a sudden move
ment of bodies of troops, to the complete sur
pthe of Lee, than by actual fighting, except
withartillery, which was only for the purpose
of making feints while the strategic work was
going 7 on. It is a question whether the posi
tion (3f-both armies was not
.entirely changed
this morning, in 'consequence of the success
ful operations of General Grant yesterday.
"If Grant fights to-day, he has an army as
strong in numbers as it was when it crossed
the Rapidan, and relatively much stronger."
