ADDRESS.
OF THE
DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL COM-
: MITTEE.
T'o the People of Pennsylvania :
An important Election is at hand, and the
1ssues involved in it may now claim your
attenaon. The tide of the war has been
rolled back from our borders, and with
thanks to God, and gratiude to the skill and
valor which, by His favor, achieved the
prompt deliverance of our invaded Common,
wealth, we may now give our solemn con-
sideration to the causes that have brought
to its present condition a country once peace-
ful, united and secure. 1tis now the scene
of a great civil war between States that late-
-ly ministered to each other’s prosperity in a
Union founded for their common good. It
was this Union that gave them peace at
home and respect abroad. They coped suc-
cessively with Great Britain on (he ocean,
and the ‘‘doctrine” uttered by President
Monroe warned off the Monarchs of Europe
from the whole American Contincut. Now,
France carves out of it an Empire, and ships
built in Englund plunder our own commerce
on every sea, A great public debt and a
conscription burden the people. The strength
and wealth of themation are turned from
productive industry, and consumed in the
destructive arts of war. Our victories fail
to win peace. Throughout the laud arbitra-
ry power encroaches upon civil liberty:
What has wrought the disastrous change?
No natural causes embroiled the North and

the South. Their 1nterchangeble products
and commodities, and vaiious institutions,
were sources of {reciprocal benefit, und ex-
cluded competition end strife. Bur an arti-
ficial cause of dissension was found in the
position of the African race ; and the ascen-
dency in the National Councils of zen pledz-
ed to an aggressive and unconstitutional
Abolition policy hag brought our country to
the condition of “the house divided against
itself,” The danger to the Union began
where statesuien had foreseen it—it began
in the triumph of 2 sectional party, founded
on prindiples of revolutionary hostility te
the Constitution and the laws. The leaders
of this party were pledged to a conflict with
1ights recognized nnd sheltered by the Con-
stitution ; they called this conflict *Hirrepres-
sible,” and whenever one party is determin-
ed to attack what another is determined to
* défend, a conflict can always be made ‘ir
repressible.” They counted on an easy tri-
umph through the aid of insurgent slaves,
and, inthis reliance, were crieless how soon
.. they provoked a collision. Democrats and
conservatives s‘rove to avert the conflict.
They saw that Union was the paramount in-
terest of their country, and they stood by
the great bond of union the Constitution of
the United States. They were content to
leave debateable questions under it {o the
high tribunal framed t> decide them ; ther
preferred it to the sword as an arbiter be-
tween the States; they strove hard to meri.
the title which their opponents gave them in
scorn—the title of “Union - Savers.” We
will not, at length, rehearse (heir efforts.
In the Thirty-8ixth Congress the Repnbli-
can leaders refused their assent to the Crit
tenden Compromise. On this point, the tes-
timony of Mr. Douglas will suffice: he
emd: *1 believe this to be fair basis of
amicable abjustment, In you of the Repub-
lican side are not willing to accept this, nor
the proposition of the Senator from Ken-
tucky, (Mr. Crittenden) pray tell us what
you are willing to do? I address the inqui-
ry to the Republicans alone, for the reason
that, in the committee of Thirteen, a tew
"days ago, every member from the South, in-
cluding those from the Cotton States,
¢ Messrs. Davis and Tombs,) empressed their
readiness to accept the propositions of my
venerable friend from Kentucky, Mr. Crit-
tenden as a final settlement of the controver-
sy, if tendered and sustained byjthe Repub-
* lican members, Hence the sole responsibil:
ity of our disagreement, and the only diffi
culty in the way of an amicable adjustment
is with the Republican-party." January 3, |
1861. :
The Peace Congress was another means
by which the Border States strove to avert
ihe impending strife. How the Republican
leaders then conspired against the peace of
their country may be seen in a letter from
Senator Chandler, of Michigan, to the Gov-
ernor of that State :
© To his Excellency Austin Blair®’
“Governor Bingham and myself tele-
graphed you on Saturday, at the request of
Massachusetts and New York, to send dele-
gates to the peace or compromise Congress.
They, admit that we were right and they
were wrong; that no Republican State should
have sent delegates; but they are here and
cannot get away, Ohio. Indiana, and
Rhode Island are caving in, and there is
danger of Illinois ; and now they beg us,
for God’s sake to come to their rescue, and
gave the Republican party from rupture. I
hope you will send stiff-backed men or none,
‘The whole thing was gotten up against my
judgement and advice, and wiil end in thin
smoke. Still, I hope, as a matter of cour-
tesy to some of our erring brethren, that
you will send the delegates.

a little blood-letting, this Union will not, in
my estimation, be worth a rush.

from slavery, whilst the people of each
State dealt calinly and intelligently with the
question within their own States limits.
Where little importance attached to it, is
soon yitided to moral and economical con-
siderations, leaving the negro in a position
of social and political subordination nowhere
more clearly marked than in the Constitu-
tion and Laws of Pennsylvania. The strife
began when people in States where it was
an immaterial question, undertook to pro-
scribe the course ot duty upon it to States
in which it was a question of great import-
ance and difficulty. This interference be-
came more dangerous when attempts were
made to use the power cf the General Gov-
ment, instituted for the benefit of all the
States, to the injury and proseription of the
interests of some of the States. It was not
merely a danger to the institution of slavery,
but to our whole political system, in which
seperate and distinct colonies became, by
the Declaration of Independence, *‘free and
independent States,” and afterwards estab-
lished a Federal Union under the Constitu-

powers delegated to the General Government
from those reserved *“to the Sta.es respect-
ively or to the people.” And let it be noted,
that in speaking of the powers so delegated
and reserved, we refer to no vague doctrines
or pretensions in respect to them, but to the
olear provisions of the written instrument
which it is the duty of every citizen, and
especially of every public functionary. to
respect and maintain. The protection of
American liberty, against the encroach-
ments of centralization, was left to the
States by the framers of the Constitution.
Hamilton, the most indulgent of them to
Federal power, says: «it may be safely re-
ceived as an axiom in oar political system,
that the State governments will, in all pos-
sible contingencies, afford complete security
against invasions of public liberty by the
Nat.onal authority.” Who can be blind to
the consequences that have followed the de-
parture from the true principles of our gov-
sion’ in sapping the very foundations of the
