J Fellmc Citizens: In times of war the politi- ! cal organizations of peace are surrendered or postponed to the public emergencies. During the Revolutionary war there was no party against Washington but the Tories or the traitors. During the war of 1812, the ene- ! inics of the Administration of Mr. Madison soon became as infain >us as the foreign in vaders themselves. The war with Mexico was waged, as results havo proved, bv slave- j holding statesmen, in order that one State . iuore might be added to the number they i have lately forced into treason : yet the pub | lie man who opposed it soon became unpopu- j lar, and its victorious general was nominated for the Presidency by the very party thatdis- j sented from the policy which resulted in the j war. Theso are the eloquent teachings of the past. We are now in a doath struggle with I the most powerful foe to human liberty on j earth. This enemy is strengthened by sla ; very in America, and sustained by tlio rnon- I archies of the Old World. The issue is clearly j made—the contending parties openly array- j ed against each other. There is not ii nation, ! an individual, or an idea opposed to human freedom that is not enlisted against this Gov ernment and in favor of the rebellion. We are ourselves our only friends. Within our selves is our only hope. We can have no sympathy from any other Power in the world | —no sympathy that is sincere and effectual, i The State Central Committee, appointed by ; the I'nion State Convention, composed of the loyal men of Pennsylvania, who met to con- ! sider what was proper to be done in this j crisis, have a simple duty to perform in this their first address. They have only to ask ! whether the examples of the two wars with j , Great Britain, and the admonitions of the ; war with Mexico, shall be recollected or re j jected in this gloomy hour, and whether the j i American people will cordially support the ( | Government in putting down the rebellion. The State Central Committee would im press upon the people of Pennsylvania that ! the one great subject for them to consider is the danger of the Republic. There is no prejudice or opinion that should not be post' poned, and, if necessary, sacrificed, to avert this common peril. The Convention from which the committee derived its authority acted in this spirit, and it is now your duty to come forward and sustain the candidates that Convention placed in nomination. We make this appeal to all lojal men. They only are ! loyal who recognize this war as one waged i for our national existence—who give an ar- ' dent and unquestioning support to the Ad- j ministration—who sustain all the measures ; of <'. ingress for the maintenance of the war : j making power—who see in the Southern 1 j Confederacy, and those who are in alliance j with it, the enemies of Civilization and Lib : j ertv —and who do nothing to weaken the | hands of the executive. They are not mere i ly disloyal who take arms in their hands, j i and combine themselves into an army. He i is a rebel who abjures bis allegiance and he- I I comes an enemy to his flag ; but he is a trai tor, who, while enjoying the protection i.f the Government, ami ostensibly observing his i pledge of allegiance, contrives to bring dis I honor and defeat upon his country. These • rebels and these traitors wo are called upon j Ito uieot. We must encounter th> ni on the ! | battle field and at the ballot box. The ballot j i box is the great source of popular power.— ! j If beaten there, our victories will be fruitless, j ! our sufferings unrewarded, our sacrifices bar . ren, and the glory and valor of our soldiers | will end in the triumph of the Southern re | hellion and a dishonorable peace. It is unnecessary to restate the causes of | the war. Our opponents have made them i the substance of calumny and misrepresenta tion. For answer, wo appeal to the living history familiar to all men. We need not remind the people that at the basis of the Southern rebellion there exists a hatred of Northern men ad Northern institutions—of our social, political and revenue systems. — This has inspired their leaders during two generations. Wedded to an institution which has demoralized thein in demoralizing their labor, and cultivating the earth by an ensla ved race of men, they have made their slaves 1 the source of their political power, and have ruled the nation with the products of slave labor. The happy hours of our national pro gress have for years been embittered by their insolence. All legislation that looked to the 1 prosperity of the Northern States and protec tion to their industry has been opposed and defeated by them. With the growth of North- j em strength, as the result of free institutions and free soil, came the possession of political , power and the gradual resistance to the en ! croachments of slavery. Nor need we romind ! I the people of the outrages that followed the 1 J efforts of the slaveholders, to recover their j i unholy and despotic dominion. The outra- ! i ges upon Kansas; the studied insults to Northern Senators and Representatives; the ceaseless abuse of the Northern people, and the gradual concentration of the military and naval power in the hands of the traitors, all contemplated the restoration of their ascen dancy, and enabled them to inaugurate the treason which culminated in war. Strength ened by a wicked Administration, and sns tained by timid and treacherous public men in the free States, they were permitted to or ganize an armed resistance, and to make fear ful advancos, before the Government could strike a blow in its own defence. The election of Mr. Lincoln to the Presi dency, so fortunate for the country, and so fruitful of saving consequences to the whole people, baffled the immediate purposes of the conspirators. The adversaries of Mr. Lincoln's Adminis tration are in nearly every case the adversa ries of the Government. They attack the one to weaken the other. We recognize in the Executive the embodiment of that autho ! rity which alone can destroy the rebellion and reecuc the Republic. If the Executive arm is pnralyred, their can be neither unity among the people, victory for our armies, nor hope for the preservation of the Govern nient. bile the enemies f the war proposed ad hering to the lorm of a mere party organiza tion, the loyal men have yielded their prefer ences and systems, content to defer to the days of peace the revival of disputes which can only be repeated now to the injury of the common cause. Let the people decide whether that interest is deserving of confidence which, in the midst of war, refuses to abandon the prejudices of party strife, and in the midst of national peril devotes itself to the work of dividing the people. The opponents of the war are more anxious to prove the : r hatred to a party than to the public eneniv. Tbej insist that the " demon Abolition" is the most dangerous foe of the public peace. YVe can see but one great criminal—but one great enemy of the Re public—and he is now in arms against oar countrymen and brothers. To defeat him at once and forever is our first and most imper ative duty. The adversaries of the war insist that they contend for the Union as it was, and the Constitution as it is. We, too, are for the Union as it was ; but not for the return of the armed associates of the sympathizers with treason to the places they so long occu pied and so basely deserted. And while we renew our fealty to the Constitution as it is, we also insist upon the addition of that duty which the opponents of the war so steaidly ignore, viz: " The enforcement of the laws," whether these laws are for the coofisiation of all rebel property, the emancipation of all slaves who aid to defend the flag of the Union, or the punishment of the reckless partisans in the adhering States who aid and com fort the rebel enemy, demoralize the people and paralyze the arm of the Executive. If, in a word, we have sympathy to bestow, it is not for the murderers of our country's liberties, but for the defenders of those liber ties. The gallant soldier teaches us by his example to persevere in devotion to our coun try. He offers his life to the Republic with uncomplaining spirit, reposes full confidence in his superiors, sustains the Government of the United States, and sees but one antago nist before him—the rebel who strikes at his awn heart and at the Union of these States. We should be unworthy of the advantages of peace and of home it we did not strive to imitate at the ballot box an example sofroely set before us by our fellow citizens on the battle fiald. In the fulfilment of these grave duties, we invoke to the standard of our country men of every class and opinion. We scorn the base ness that invokes party hate or popular pre judice. When we behold the adopted and native citizen, the democrat and the republi can fighting side by side in the army, we are inspired by the lesson to do likewise in the quiet walks of civil life. Loyal men of Pennsylvania, it is for you to determine between the friends of the Govern ment and the war, and the opponents of loth. It is fir you to declare for the sympathizers with freedom or the sympathizers with slavery and the rebellion. It is for you to decide whether you will strengthen Abraham Lin coln or Jefferson Davis. It is fur you to say whether the traitors shall be crushed or whether our Irec institutions shall be crushed. There is, there can he. no middle pathway. There arc indued, hut two parties—patriots or traitors—those who are for the Union and those who are against it. And all men who are not openly for the Republic must be counted among its enemies. It is a fact that yen cannot too carefully ponder, that the leaders of the opposition to the Government in this State are the same. ' with discreditable exceptions, who encoura- j ged the policy which encouraged the traitors to commence the rebellion. Their whole ef- I fort since the war began lias been to divide I the people of the loyal States. The}' announ ced, early in 1861, that Pennsylvania should join the South in the event of a separation, and this is their secret hope to day. They would have held the hands of the Government that the rebels might strike at its heart, and would have succeeded but for the prompt en couragement of President Lincoln. They followed the fortunes of Gen. Hrcckinridge up to the period of his desertion into the ranks of the rebels. They repeat his argu ments in this their country's darkest hour. Their plea for the Constitution was his pica before he drew his sword against it. They clamor, as he clamored, against the Abolition ists. They deplore emancipation, oven while that tho most effective emancipationists are the slaveholders themselves. They bewail confiscation acts, while Jefferson Davis se questrates the property of all loyal men in thw South. And as if to complete the paral lel, and to show how sincerely they love the traitors, even as they pretend to despise the treason, they see our brave men peruhiug on the battle field and in hospital, from the dis ease of the swamps and tho bullets of the foe, and disoourage enlistments in order that they may be relieved; and, while prating of a negro exodus into the free States, to terrify our laboring whites, denounce the employment of the escaped colored men of the South to light en the burdens and lessen the labors of the white defenders of the flag! We address you, loyal brothers and friends, in the earnest hope that you will not desert your country in this momentous crisis. We feel that we have the right of this great argu ment. We are supported by the hope that all good men are with us. Everywhere, in the free States, the same organization for which we speak is supported by citizens without reference to former party distinctions. The republicans have come forward to give this orgsization their sanction. The most distin guished and orthodox democrats have joined the ranks of the great army of loyal men, and from every battle field our brave soldiers | send us words of approval and of thanks. In ' Pennsylvania, the great People's Party have ; enrolled themselves in this mighty movement. Shall it fail ? Will you r ermit a few discon tented leaders, the relics of a debased and guilty administration, who are, in fact, more responsible for the war than any other class but the rebels themselves, to sway you from New Series—Yol. XVI, No. 45. your obligation* to your country? This can not be—this must not be. Fi\ry inducement invokes us to consolidate and c<> operate. The comfort and necessities of our fellow citizens in the field of war—the support of our patriotic President and our fearless Governor, that they may fulfil their great trusts efficiently—and the threatening aspect of foreign Powers —call upon us to sink all considerations before the one absorb ing duty of the hour. The nominees of tbo loyal men of Penn sylvania for State officers, Hon. Thomas K. Cochran, of York county, for Auditor Gen'l.. and Hon. W. S. Ross, of Luzerne, for Sur veyor General, deserve your united and ardent support. Mr. Cochran has served with great credit to himself and advantage to the State for the last three years in the position for which he is ngain presented. He is known and esteemed for his pure personal and up right public character, and his high abilities and extended experience, are additional assu rances that he is worthy of the suffrages of the friends of the Government. General Ross has belonged to the democratic party, and is one of that large and influential body of men who have forever broken the shackles of the slave power, and who see in the present troubles the opportunity to prove their inde pendence of those treacherous leaders who, during these trying times, degrade the name of democracy by using it as a cloak for sym pathy with treason. Beloved at bis own home, and in a long course of public service having earned the confidence of the people and gathered a valuable experience, he is eminently fitted for the trust that has been conferred upon him. To elect theso gentlemen, will require the concerted and cordial co-operation of the loyal citizens of the State. It would be most cul pable if, with every other advantage, we should fail to win a great victory in October, for want of an effective and extended organi zation: or if we should, by dissensions among ourselves, on minor issues, give the victory to our adversaries. The duty of securing a strong and able representation in Congress, to sustain the President in his noble war pol icy, and to defeat the candidates of the Breck inridge sympathizers is paramount and bind ing. Let us not forget that we have also to i elect a Legislature that is to choose a United | States Senator, and that in every county im i portaut officers are to be elected. If wo act j up to the call and to the counsel of the State Convention from which we derive our author -1 ity, we shall achieve a great and lasting tri j umph. In this struggle it is the duty of all to forego personal preferences for the common cause; and he who shall refuse to respond to this sentiment is unequal to the avrful rcspon ! sihilitics of the times. To accomplish com plete unity, and to prepare for a successful re- J suit, it is advisable that the loynl man should ; meet together in their respective wards and ' districts frequently. These are the fountains not only of all power, but, in this emergency, j of all patriotic purposes and popular enlight : eniuent. Armed with the w.apons of truth and of love of country, and strong in the sense ! of a perfect understanding among ourselves, we can defeat all the hosts of our adversaries, j and encourage our public servants in council and cur gallant brothers in the .field of battle. CYRUS P. MAItKLE, Chairman, CIEOaCE W. iIAM M P.KSI.Y, ) r. , . W.J. HOWARD, J Secretaries. Brigadier General Taylor. Brigadier General Taylor, who died from wounds received in the recent battles, was a native of Hunterdon county, Xew Jersey, and at the tiuie of his decease was in the prime of life. lie served in the Mexican war with distinction, and lor his services in the field was appointed to a Colonelcy, which position he held at the breaking out of the rebellion. Col. Taylor was then a resident of Flemington, llunterdou county, X. J., and was noted for stern iutegrity of character and purity of life. When Mr. Lincoln issued his first call for 75,000 vol unteers Col. Taylor devoted his time to the drill and discipline of the militia of his district, lie accepted the position of Col. of the regiment raised there, and accom panied it to Washington. He was, we be lieve stationed at Centrevillc with his reg iment when the battle of Bull ilun was fought, and exerted himself maufuliy but ineffectually to arrest the fugitives who fled from the engagement. Col. Taylor accompanied Gen. McClcllan to the Peninsula, and was with him through out his subsequent campaigns. While thus employed he was appointed a Brigadier General. • leneral Taylor was noted for being an excellent—perhaps a severe —disciplinari- an, and iosisted upon the performance of all requisite duties by his officers and men, and was never backward in doing his own duty. Sad Occurrence— A Boy Shot- The Johnstown Tribune of the 29 th says: A young man named Gillis Ilartzell was out gunning Thursday, and in coming home along the Somerset road intheafler noon, in company with two other boys in a wagon, were overtaken by a young man named fcoaf, who carries the mail be tween Johnstown and Stoystown. After riding in company for some time, (the boys meanwhile having their fun with each other) Ilartzell, under the impression that it was empty, pointed his gun at the mail boy, and playfully told him if he didn't behave himself he would shoot him. The young man disregarding the threat, kept on with bis fun, wheu Ilartzell levelled his gun at him and pulled the trigger, when to his amazement, it discharged, and Soaf fell from his horse. Upon examination it was discovered that the ball had taken ef fect in his face, and that he was already quite dead. Hartzell remained with the body until the Somerset hack came along, which took up the body and brought k to
