AS ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE. THEY WILL VOTE THE WAY THEY SHOT! The following resolutions ami address to the people of the United States were unanimously adopted by the National Convention of Soldiers and Sailors which recently assembled in Cleveland, Ohio: We ask for them a careful perusal by eve ry one who desires to know how the men who fought to save the Union stand in the present contest. Hou. D. D. Campbell, from the Com mittee on Resolutions, reported the fol lowing platform, which was adopted with immense cheering: . The Union Soldiers and jailors who served in the army and navy of the Uni ted States in the recent war for the sup pression of the insuri’ection, the mainte nance of the Constitution, the govern ment, and the flag of the Union, grateful to Almighty God for his.preservation of them through the perils and hardships of civil war, and for His mercy in crown ing their eflbrts ‘with victory, freedom, and peace; deploring the absence from their midst of many brave and faithful comrades, who have sealed with their life-blood their devotion to the sacred cause of American nationality, and- de termined now as heretofore to stand by the principles for which their survivors" have triumphed, being assembled in Na tional Mass Convention in the City of Cleveland, Ohio, this 17th day of Septem ber, 18G5, do resolve and declare : First, That we heartily approve the resolutions adopted by the National Uni on Convention held in the City of Phila delphia, on the 14th day of August last, composed of delegates representing all the States and Territories of the United States. Second, That our object in taking up arms to suppress the late rebellion was to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution, and to preserve the Union with all the dignity, equality, and rights of the several States unimpaired, and not in any spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose of conquest and subjuga tion ; and that whenever there shall be any armed resistance to the law fully constituted authorities of our National Union either in the South or in the North, in the East or in the West, emulating the self-sacrificing patriotism of our revolu tionary forefathers, we will again pledge to Its support our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. H. S. RITTER. General Este, from the same Commit tee, reported a lengthy address, which was received with enthusiasm and adopt ed with wavlhg of flogs, cheers, and sing ing “ Rally round the Flog, boys.” More, than fifteen months have elapsed since you were released from service and permitted to return to your homes, with the assurance of the cpnutry that your work was done, and that the rebellion was substantially suppressed. For four years, on the ocean and in fields, stretch ing from Gettysburg to New Orleans, you had fought in order to restore the in tegrity of the nation, and you rested from your toils with the conviction that it on ly remained for statesmen to rivet the broken bands which you hud laid togeth er. You know that this task required wisdom and deliberation, but you had a right to expect that, like your own, it would be taken up promptly, and con ducted with singleness of purpose. You had yourselves left party ties behind when you marched to the field,- and hence'brth knew only, your country.— You had aright to demand that in the peaceful completion of your work they would follow your example. You expect ed that those who had calk'd upon you to suppress not only revolution, but the spirit of revolution, and to vindicate the violated law, would set a new example to the nation by a strictadherence to their constitutional power and a revival of the old. spirit of sacred obedience to law. You expected, and after the performance of such services, you bad a peculiar, right to demand that your successors in the work of restoration should not only devise measures which should be just, but should propose them at the season when they should be practicable; and that by mean's of measures and the sympathies of the North, the people of the South, subjected to all the penalties, should long since have been brought back to the perfor mance of all its duties in this nation, and which the vindication of the law de manded to a real participation in its .life. For more than a year you have looked, on in silence, and the work for which you provided the opportunity has not been done. Your successors have acted neith er wisely nor in season. That which might have been well and wisely accom- Elished, if proposed at the proper time, hs been made impracticable by delay, and a condition which it would have been, of doubtful wisdom to imuose at any time is at last im nosed when it is too late. Af ter you had been withdrawn from the field because you had annihilated the pbwerof your opponents to disobey their government, an entire-year was added to their already long estrangement from it before any conditions of return were of fered to them; and when these conditions were at last announced they contained terms which proposed to make the'es trangement of a large portion of our pop ulation perpetual. The youth of, the South, who had never known when the rebellion commenced, or what it was to share in the duties and business of na tional citizens, have grown to manhood ahd influence in Its affairs and still are strange in their own land, and excluded from the instruction which might .make them patriots. The union of these States, for which these partizans demand your jives not too great a price, is yet as in complete as when you marched home, and by their measures its restoration is still indefinitely postponed. They say to you, if our terms are not accepted by the South we can wait It becomes, there fore, your peculiar duty, since you pre pared the ground for this final work, to inquire how it has been done, and to con sider whether it is wise and safe to wait. Meantime, while you determine to wait or move, it is indispensible first to en trench yourselves in a position of im pregnable facts. The power of the na tional government over the affairs of its insurgent citizens, except for purposes of judicial punishment, is purely of a bel ligerent character, and its belligerent right concerning them is included in, while it is also limited by one of the grants of the Constitution. The government is authorized to suppress insurrection by military means, and these include all belligerent functions and capacities which may be necessary for that end. In the exercise of Its necessary belligerent right THE PLATFORM ADDRESS, it is as competent to require of Its insur gent citizens as it would be to require of a foreign enemy not only the laying down of arras but the surrender of every posi tion which threatened a renewal'of the conflict. The right is perfect and com plete for its purpose, but it is limited by its purpose. The Constitution directs that armies and belligerent law shall be used for the suppression of insurrection. With this complete suppression, which includes the prevention of a renewal, the legitimate application of compulsion to their future course ns communities must cease. It is not true that in. case of war this government acquires all of the bel ligerent rights known to international law. It has only so much of that kind of right over its own people as it finds embodied in its own Constitution. It de >■ rives from this source so much as is nec essary in suppressing insurrection, and this does not include the right to take and hold its rebellious citizens and their , territory as a conquest. It is authorized to employ war to vindicate its old title to allegiance, not to acquire a new one. In accordance with this rule the President, as comraander-in-chief, compelled the in surgents, after they had laid down their arms, to abolish by their local laws the institution of slavery, the agitation of which has been the cause of this war and might bo the cause of another; to declare null and void their acts of secession, which has been part of their belligerent action, and until rescinded embodied a claim which threatened future conflict, and Anally to repudiate their war debts, the recognition of which would have been a hostile act, vindicating-the legitimacy of insurrection and threatening its renew al.' The institution of slavery, the ordi nances of secession, and the maintenance of -an insurrectionary war debt, were strictly, hostile positions, and threatened a posslble renewal of the war until they would be surrendered. There could be no complete surrender of the belligerent attitude of the insurgent communities of the South; therefore the Commander-in chief, clothed with the double functions of military commander and of the civil execution of the laws of the Union, com pelled this surrender, and at this point the belligerent power of the national gov ernment—the power to apply compulsion in any form to the political future of the lately revolted States—was exhausted.— This legitimate and restricted use of com pulsion appeared to accomplish the de sired end. It is true that the subdued and impoverished people of the South did not and could not at once pass from hos tility to friendship. Their homes were darkened with sorrow which no sense of error could mitigate, their fields were cemeteries, their farms were the burnt path of our armies, and they could Pot love us in the midst of their desolation.— But they knew that the issue of the ap peal to arms hud been determined forev er against them. They saw that they had lost by war what they had attempted by work to save. They had suffered too much to dream of renewing the strife, and seeing no future before them but that of citizens of the United States, they were ready to return to their allegiance as defined to them anew by the event of the struggle. When Congress first as sembled they had acquired a temper to ward the national government us healthy as it was possible for any people to attain ' after such acouflictand such experiences. In this respect the result of the war was unexampled in the history.of nations.— Their disposition was governed by their acts. They had, upon the, requirement of the Commnuder-in-Chief, surrendered every position which could truthfully be deemed hostile to the government, and by.his advice, not under his compulsion, they went further, and, in common with the loyal States ratified a constitutional amendment which forever abolished sla very, and Congress the power by appro priate legislation, to prevent its re-estab lishment. They might have conceded still more ; but month after month passed without action, and meantime they were subjected to military government. No system was ever better adapted than our national government to the performance i of the duties for which it was designed; 1 no government could be less adapted to the regulation of affairs in a subjected neighboring territory. Mistakes, injus tice, even fraud, inevitably mingled with and marred its operations through dis tant agencies, and these have produced their natural effect. The prolonged exer cise of such functions can only injure it, has already injured ourselves. We cannot afford to alter the spirit of our great na tional system,' and by centralizing render two governments of this Union hateful to the people of all the States, North and South alike; but the evils.of our present mistakes committed in the duties of a function for which the government was never designed, do not wait the slow de- i velopment of time. Their effect upon i the subjected South is a daily disaster.— We are training future citizens by the 1 worst’ possible instruction, and every month’s persistence makes the evil plain- j er to us. It is manifest that under the experiences of this delay, and of uure- i publican life under military constraint, the temper of the people has become much less commendable than it v, as at the con- i elusion ofactivehostilities; thatthework of true reunion lias grown more difficult; that perils of our condition only increase it. It is for you, therefore, toask wheth er the reasons for this delay arc sufficient, and whether the new conditions imposed by Congress are likely to prove a final < remedy. The manner in which these conditions, in the form of an amendment to the national Constitution, have been presented, not only to the people of the i South, but to the nation, is without pre cedent. For the first time in I lie history of this government, propositions without connection have been united in one amendment, and the people have been denied the opportunity of free choice con cerning each. The first section bf this single article defines citizenship of the United States. The second lays down the basis of representation.- The third is in the following words: “ No person shall-be a Senator or repre sentative in Congress, or elector of Presi dfeutand Vice-President,or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previous ly: taken an oath, as a member of Con gress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State Legislature, or ns an excutive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Cohstution of the United States, shall-have engaged in in surrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each house, remove such disability." The effect of each of these utterly dis connected propositions is made to depend upon the acceptance dr rejection of the whole. It seems incredible that those who insisted upon thus connecting them could have expected that they would be ratified. The Southern people, after fol lowing their political leaders into the late struggle and sharing the risk of their fate through four, years of terrible war, are called upon to aid the proscription. \Vhat ever punishment their bodies may deserve at the hands of government, it is unin telligible that statesmen 1 should have dreamed of asking their associates and followers to inflict that punishment upon them, especially a punishment of lasting disgrace more than any which the gov ernment itself is authorized to impose. If in the midst of their errors the people of the South retain the ordinary fidelity of comrades in arms to each other— the VOL. 53.—N0. 16. common sentiment of honor which rules ’ ail .companionship—they will not volun tarily desert the men whom they have voluntarily and steadily followed amid so many perils. They will not accept this third section of the amendment, and they are forbidden to accept the other without it. We believe that the only effect of such a proposition will be a prolonged ex clusion of the South from the practice of self-government and the training of pa triotism ; but if they could bo persuaded or constrained to accept It wo ore at a loss to perceive the benefit to be derived from it, because no act of Congress, nor any thing contained in the proposed amend ment gives any pledge or assurance that the adoption of those amendments will secure the admission of loyal representa tives from the Southern States now exclu ded, or the recognition of their constitu tional relations to the government of the United States. The preamble and resolu tion adopted in the case of Tennessee do not commit Congress to the restoration of the Unionshuuld their example befollow ed at once by every other stated State.— It is evident from the course pursued by the extreme men who urge these ameiui nients, and from the sentiments enunci ated by them, that it is their fixed pur pose. even if the amendments be adopted, to still insist upon the political equality of the colored race ns a condition prece dent to admitting loyal representatives from the Southern States lately in re bellion. The partisans of these condi tions attempt to excite the indignation and alarm of the country by declaring the rcadmission of the South without them as an abandonment of all the dear-bought fruits of war. It is not for the soldiers and sailors of that war to shrink from be ing wise, least they should suspected of insulting the graves of their comrades, and forgetting the objects for which they suffered so much. They know that there is a progress in the life of this nation, and there Is a God who animates that life, and they hold that fear to bo as infidel as it is cowardly. Nations never die in their adolscence. The manhood which this peo ple has vindicated in war will not sicken I and perish in peace. TheSoiith cannot, ifit would, cast off the obligations of events: and under the good that has been done it has shared already, and for a law as irre sistible as time must continue to share the common development of this season of quick growth. The North, with its sense of justice, its faith in true Democracy, Its vigor and industry and vast wealth, must inevitably rule this land; but it will se cure and beneficially exercise that rule only by the same process which governs all true civilization, not.by force. If fear is entertained that the Southern people may be insincere in what they have done towards reconstruction, and that they de sire admission to the national councils only that they may undo it and repudiate our national debt. Here Is a continued exclusion by means of the proposed amendment, which will not be ratified.— Their exclusion cannot be permanent.— This people will not suffer it to be lasting, and they will return at lost without those conditions, but still less inclined to patri otism and good faith. They are Ameri cans, and they have at least the weakness common to the nation and to them, as it would be to us. Exclusion from the Union and froth complete self-government is dis organization, politically and socially.— The freedmen among them and the rest of the nation must suffer by everything which demoralizestheircunditiou,and be benefited by everything which elevates it. True; we do hot believe the people of the South, will violate the good faith which they have pledged to us. In the Nation al Union Convention at Philadelphia more than three hundred Southern dele gates, holding influential positions at home, claiming to represent, and, as we believe representing the sentiments of the Southern people, declare that the South erh debt should not be paid, and that the rights of the freedmen should be protec ted. We believe that the men who made those elections will keep them .- especially as soldiers, who know the character of th'eir late opponents, we believe that the soldiers of the South —men who have en dured so bravely and so constantly the trials and privitations of four years of wtir—are, despite tfie error of thejr cause, men of personal honor and self-respect and that they will never permit the com- ; munities in which they dwell to violate promises given in the most solemn forms. Wo hold then that no reason has been given which can justify an adherence to the course which has been proposed by Congress, or for a further continuance of tire prevent unhappy condition of' the co'untry. If the same class of men who have established this policy shall be re turned to the next Congress, that condi tion will grow worse for two years longer. Who can estimate the evils which will meantime iiave fallen upon all races in those communities as well us ourselves? -. It is our duty to remember'that the gov- ' eminent is not the embodyment of per fect theories, but is a practical business, and deals with the wise and unwise, the well and ill-disposed, as a mingled mass of that civilization which isagrowth, and 1 not the result of force. We believe that nationality, with its distribution of pow ers between the central and local govern ments, is the chief instrumentality and is the best blessing of political and civil life j for all races and communities in the land, j and that our first duty to all is to see that itis as promptly as possiblere-established. \ By means of it wo shall accomplish not j only peace and safety, but justice to the , nation and the freedmen. Upon all of these sacred rights weshall insist. As soldiers, we are still devoted to the same cause and the same principles for which we fought—the cause of Union, freedom, justice, and law. We forego none of these in demanding Union now. We speak as soldiersrfjjeeiuise we believe that an appeal from us to ihe brave men who met us in buttle to unite with us in giving peace to our common country, in fulfilling pledges which have been made and guaranteeing to the freedmen the rights which honorand humanity enjoin, will not be made in vain. We shall ask and expect that they, like ourselves, will unite in maintaining the laws, preserv ing the peace, vindicating- goodwill and in upholding the honor and Integrity of our common country. In answer to our appeal we believe that, notwithstand ing all provocations and disappointment, they will be patient and orderly law abid ing and law obeying citizens, re-electing ahd permitting differences of opinion by Whomsoever entertained and by whomso ever enunciated. We want a Union not merely in name, but a Union in fact; not a Union merely of geographical lines but a 1 Union of hearts Buch a Union, we fought to maintain, such a Union we wish to enjoy. By it alone can our nation : ac complish its true-mission and fulfill its true destiny. So believing, we anxiously and earnestly appeal to you, our former comrades in arms, to assist'in the great work of pacification. Wo appeal to you, not as Democrats, not ns Republicans, but us patriots and national Union men. Whatever others may say, you know that those who stood shoulder to shoulder with you throughout four years terrible war are truly loyal. You, at-least, will never question their fidelity to. and their affection lor, the Union and the Consti tution, whatever differences of opinion may exist, now that the war Is over, and that the insurrection is quelled, between those who together offered their lives as a constant and willing sacrifice that the life of the nation might be saved.

ADDRESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE. Democratic State Committee Rooks, 1 828 Walnut St., Philadelphia, / To the People of Pennsylvania : The Democratic party. In its platform of principles, adopted at Harrisburg, on the &th day of March, 1866, resolved, 1. That the States whereof the people were lately In rebellion are integral parts of the Union, and are entitled to repre sentation in Congress, by men duly elec ted, who bear true*£aith to the Constitu tionand laws, and in order to vindicate the maxim that taxation without repre sentation is tyranny, such representatives should be forthwith admitted. 2. That the faith of the republic Is pledged to the payment of the national debt, and Congress should pass aU laws necessary for that purpose. 3. That the white race alone is entitled to the control of the government of the republic, and we are unwilling to grant to negroes the right to vote. Upon this platform we placed our can didate for Governor, and with these prin ciples we confidently look for success in this contest. Our opponents in their Convention, held at Harrisburg on the 7th day of March, 1866, also adopted a platform, and nominated a candidate. The principles they enunciated appear to be lost sight of, and the proposed constitutional amend ment takes tneir place as the rule of Rad ical orthodoxy; and to it their candidate gives bis unhesitating support, Negro equality and negro suffrage are the essential elements in that amendment. By it the negro is made the equal of the white man In all his “ privileges and im munities.” The right of Pennsylvania to make laws to regulate the migration of negroes into the State la denied and she Is' deprived of her just share of represen tation in Congress unlcssher Constitution be amended and the negro allowed to vote The Radical candidates for Governor and for United States Senator; their lenders for public sentiment; their speak ers and their newspapers are open advo cates of this amendment, and theirprac tice accords with their profession, for they mingle with the negro in social inter course, in political conventions, and in public processions. Wo hold that the negro is not the equal of the white man, and, whilst we accord to! him freedom and protection of person, with the right to enjoyment of the fruits of his labor and aid in Intellectual ad vancement, we affirm that our own race Is bn titled to control the entire machinery of the government. Sustain this amendment, and you give the negro the right to aid in governing you; defeat it, and you maintain your own right of sovereignty. Every man who votes fob Geabv ob for a Radical candidate fob Con oßess, votes as distinctly fob negro SUFFRAGE AND NEGRO EQUALITY AS IP THEY WERE PRINTED ON HIS BALLOT. Democrats op Pennsylvania!

The following is an extract from a let teT from u decided Republican of New York: Garrison’s, Putnam Co., N. Y., 1 September 11, 1866. / '* ** I h tt ve belonged to the Repub- lican party from its organization. I have always opposed the radical elements in its attempts to control it, or to make it other than a great national party, and I think there never was a more short-sight ed policy of fanatical policy than was dis played by Congress in attempting to place the party on the narrow, sectional, and unconstitutional basis now declared by them. While I believe that treason is the greatest of political crimes, and that for tile sake of the future of our country, it should be punished os such; yet to hold aiillions ot people responsible for the acta of a few unprincipled leaders, by whom they were either led or forced into rebel lion, is too revolting to think of. I have stood side oy side with you in sdmo of the most brilliant scenes of the late war, and during my whole experi ence, from the beginning until I saw JUee surrender at Appomattox, I have never known a soldier who would ac knowledge that .he was fighting for any other purpose than to restore the Union. 1 did not know a class of persons who, ulider the plea of teaching the negro, were forever asking protection of the army While they speculated in tax sales and negro labor. These adventurers and speculators in philanthropy have gained gleat riches while shrinking from every jiiauly duty, during the great struggle.— Their only profit in the future is to keep the Boutli disrupted and play upon the fears of'the North,-and' they nave no scruples os to the means to gain tbisend; bht brave and honest men will not be governed by their fears, but will seek ohly to do right, aud trust in God for the result. lam ever truly yours, James F.
