This interference beeame more dangt-trous when attempts Were made to use the power of the General Government, in• stituted for the benefit of all the States, to the injury and . proscriptign of the interests orsome of the States. It was not merely a danger, to the in stitution of slavery, but to our whole, political 'system, in which separate and distinct cohmies became, by, the declaration of : Independence, "free and independetC§tates," and after wards establish , tr Federal:Union 'under the Constitution of the United States. That instrument, with sera-. pulous care, discriminates the powers delegated to the General Government from those:reserved "to the States re. spectively„or to the_ people." And let it he noted, that in speaking of the powers so delegated and reserved, we refer to no vagtie doctrines or pre tensions, but to the clear provisions of the written instrument which it, i s the duty of every .citizen; and espe cially of every public •funetionary, to respect and maintain. , The protec tion of American “liberty, against the encroachments 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 he safely received us an axiom in our political system, that the Stine Governments will, in all pos.. si ble„ contingencies, afford .mom plete security ~against invasions .of .. puhlie liberty , by,..the,national authority.", Who can-be blind to the consequent that have followed the departure fr .. the, true principles of . our Govern ment?

The ticizure of 2i journal at West Chester was afterwards the subject of a Snit for damages in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania . It came to trial be ypre Chief Justice Lowrie. Rehears ing the ancint, principles of English. and Ameriean insitier, he condemned the acts of the.Pederal offleeis as vio lations of the law that binds alike the private citizen and the public-fune tioriary.: Repaid : "All public func tionaries in 'this bind .are under the low, and mine, from the highest to the lowest, are above it." . Impatient at any restraint from law, a partisan majority in Congress hastened to pass an act to take from the State courts to the United States Courts, all suits . or prosecutions 'for treepasses or.wrongs done or commit fed hy virtue or under color of any authority derived from or - exercised Under the President of the United States;" and such authority was de i:lared to be a full defenee for the wrongdoer in any action, civil or eri thal: The Ameriesn ExecntiVe is. as the word imports, the executor of the duty:enacted laws.. Yet the, preten- Sion is made that his will can take the place of the laws. The liberty, the character of every citizen, is put at•the mercy of new fonetirineries called "provost marshals." 'Secret cc eusation before these officials takes thin place of open hearing hefere a lawful magistrate, end no writ of .habeas corpus may iequire the cause of-the arrest To illeeal arrests have been added the moi.kerV of a trial of a private citizen for his political n. pinions before a court martial. ending in the infliction ofa new and entracte ous penalty ; invented by the Presie ent of the United States. We need not comment upon acts like these The President of the ITllited States has ro authority: in peace or war to try, even an enlisted• soldier by court-mar tial, save by virtue and instrict enn• fortuity with the military law laid down in the act of Congress "estab lishing rules and articles for the gov ernment of the armies.o the United 'States." Yet by his proclamation of September2,4th,lB62, ho has- assum ed to - make all citizens amenable to military courts. 'ffil'has.vinlitted the great principle of free government, on which Washington enndueted the war of the Revolution, anl Madison the war of 1812 the principle of the subordination of the military to the civil power. He has assumed to pot "martial law," which is the rule and force at a spot Where all laws are si lenced; in the place of civil jnstiee through o ut the land. and-has thus As sailed, in some .of the States, even the freedoM of the ha flOt box. These are not occasional acts, done in. haste, or heat, or ignorance ; but a new sys tem of government, put In the place of that, ordained - and established by the people. That the Queen could not do what he 'could, was Mr. Se ward's honst to the British Minister. The military arrests" of Mr.' Stan ton received the "hearty ennrnenda tien" of the Convention that renomi. mord Governor Curtin ; and it pledg ed him and his party to "hearty eo operation" in such acts of the Admin istration infuture. Such •is the de• arading platfoem on which a candi date for (Thief Magistrate of Pennsyl vania stands before her people —1 These pretensions to arbitrary poyyer give ominous significance to a late change in our military establishment.. The time-honored American system of culling on the States for drafts from their militia, has been replaced by a Federal conseription, on the model of European. despotisms. We would not minister to the excitement which it has caused among men of all par ties. Its constitutionality will be tested before the courts. If adjudged to be within the power of Congress, the people will decide on the proprie. tv of a stretch of power on which the British Parliament—styled omnipo tent—has never ventured. On this you will pass at the polls, and the next Congress will not be deaf to the voice of the people.. For all political evils, a constitutional:remedy yet re mains, in the ballot box. We will not entertain : a fear that it is rt'ot safe in thegnardianship of a free people, If men in office should seek to perpetu ate their power by wresting from the rymple of Pennsylvania the right of suffrage—if the servants of the pen. plc should rebel against their master —on them will-rest the responsibility of an attempt at revolution, of which no man can foresee the consequences or the end. But in now addressing you upon the political issues of the times, we assume that the institu tions of our -country are destined to endure. • The approaching election derives further importanCe from the influence it will exercise upon the policy of the Government. The aim of men not blinded by fanaticism and party spirit would be to reap the best fruit from the victories achieved by our gallant armies—the best fruit would be pence and the restoration of the Dirion:— Suchis not the aim of the- party in power. Dominated by its most big. otetitnemt-sres it,urgee a War for the negro and not. for the• Union. It a. vows the design to protract the war slavery,ehall: be. .ebolisbeiLin all WHOLE NO. 739. the Southern States ; in the language of one of its pamphleteer's, "how can a man, hoping and praying for the de struction of slavery, desire that the war shall be a short one ?" Mr. Thad dens Stevens,' the Republican leader in the last House pt Representatives, declared, "The 'Union, shall never, with my consent, be restored nu der the Constitution us it is. with slavery to be protected by it." The same spirit appears in Mr. Lincoln's la= e amwer to citizens of Louiiriana who desired the•reture of that State un. der its present: Consti!rition. Mr. Li'lieole postponed them till.that Con ' stitution shall be amended: The Ab ()kit/nista desire the War to last till freedom is secured to a I the slaVes. Hordee o 1 politieiana , and ennt.raetors, and .rierveyors,who fatten on the war, desire it tie" forever. When the slaves are all ernaneipated by the Federal ..arms, a "conrstaut military in tervention will •hre needed to keep them t..l9nee c r eenol with *.he .'white rues irOhe Southern States.' Pence has nn'',-place in their platform. It proelaima'contiseatien and abolition as the objects of the war, and Southern leader catehes'up the words to stimulate his .followere to fight to the last. It is riot the interest of Pennsylvania that'a fanatical faction shall pervert and protract the war, for ruinous, perhaps unattainable W ends: 'hat the North ne eds l is the return of the South, with its periple, its, territory, its staples, to complete ' the integrity of our common country. This, and not mere devastation and social confusion, would be the. aim of patriots and statesmen. The Ahnli tion pol-liy promises 11s innthine Net. ter than a Southern Poland, ruled by a Northern despotism. But history is full of examples how wise rulers have assuaged civil discord -by moder ation and justice, while bigots and despots. relying solely on force," have ; been :baffled by feeble: opponents —. That a t e mperate constitutional poli -ey will toil, in our ease, to reap the fruit of success in arms. cannot be [ known till it is tried. The times are [critical. France, under a powerful and ambitious monarch, is entering on the scene, willing again to play an important part in an American revolu tion. The English GovernMent is hostile to ns ; it has got all it wanted from abolition. and'will have nothing more to do with :it. The secession leaders, and the presses under their control. oppose reunion, preferring, perhaps. even an humble dependence upon European powers. But from many parte of the South, and across the picket lines, and from the prison. ers and the wounded, has come the proof of a desire among the people of theiSouth fo'retnrn: to constitutioßai r , da Hoes with the people of the North. Early in the contest this desire was shown in North Carolina one of the old thirteen aSsociattal with Penrisyl-; vania on the • page of Revolutionary history. But the majority in Con gress made haste to show that Aboli tion. not reunion, was their aim. In a moment of depression, on the 22d ;.Tnly,:lBfil. being the day after the battle of Bull Run, they allowed the passage ; - ‘f a resolution. :Offered by Crittenden, defining a policy for the ' resioration•of..the Orion. But they soon rallied, and filled the stet me hook with acts of corifiscatinn,-ab olitinn, and emancipation, against the remonstrances of eminent jurists and conservative men of' all parties. Mr. Lincoln, too, yielded, he said, "to pressure." put his proclamalon in place of the Constitutinn.and the laws. Thus every interest and sentiment of the Southern people were enlisted on the side of resistance by the policy of a party which, as Mr. Stevens !said. will not consent to a restoration of the Union with "the Constitution as it is." It is this policy that :has pro . traced the war*, and is now the great est obstacle to its termination. The reunion (lithe States can alone give them their old security at home and power and digetty abroad. This end can never he reached upon the principles of the party now in power. Their pri neiples are radically false and Can never lead to a good conclusion. Their hope of setting up the negro in the place of the white man runs counter to the law of race, the laws of nature. Their statesmanship has been weighed' in" the balance and found wanting ; their "little blood-let, ti has proved a deluge. Their in. terterenee with our . armies: Nits often frustrated and never aided their sue eess, till it has become a military pro ; verb that the hest thing Co , a general is to be out of reach from WaShing.' ton. The party was founded -upon the political and moral heresy of op position to Compromise, which is the only means of Vnion among States, and nt peace and goad will on earth among men. • Ina popular Gerernment, the pro ple are s.lvoreign, and the sound sense of the whole community corrects, at the polls, the errors of politieel par ties The people of Pennsylvania have seen", with regret, the unconsti tutional aims of the Abolitionists sub stituted for the original objects of the war. They'have seen with indigos. tion many gallant soldierS of the U nion driven from its service, because they . have not bowed down to the ib .olition idol. They will see with hoi ror the war protracted in order to se. cure the triumph of n party platform ; or, as Mr. Chandier -aid "to save the Republican party from rupture."— The time is now at hand when the voles of the people will be heard.— The overthrow of the Abolitionists at the polls and the reestablishment of constitutional, principles at the North is the tirst. : , , the indispensable step to wards 'the restoration of the Union and the vindication of civil'4berty.

Thus the people of the North may themselves extend the Constitu tion to the people of the South. It would not be . a specious offer of poli. ticiens, to be=observed with no better faith than the resolutions of July, '6l. It would be a return to the national policy of the better daya of the Re public, through the intelligence of the people, enlightened by experience.— It would strengthen the Government; for a constitutional Government is strong when exercising with vigor its legitimate powers, and is weak when it sets an example of •revolutionary violence by invading the rights of the people. Our principles and our can didates are known to you. The res olntions of the late Convention at Harrisburg were, with some addi• tions, the same that had been adopt ed by the Democracy in several States, and by the General Assembly of Penn sylvania. They declare authoritative ly the principles of the Democratic party. It is, as it has always been, for the Union and the Constitution against all opposers. The twelfth resolution declares, "that while this General Assembly condemns and de nounces the faults of the Administe4.. tion and the encroachments of the Abolitionists, -it does, also, most thoroughly condemn and denounce the heresy of secession as unwarrant ed by the Constitution, and destruc tive alike of the security and perpetui ty of Government and of the peace arid liberty of the people and it does hereby most solemnly declare that the people of this State are unaltera. I ly opposed to any division of the 'U nion, and Will persistently exert their whole influence and power, under the Constitution, to maintain and defend it." We have nominated Chief Justice Lowrie for the bench which he adorns, Our candidate for Governor, Judge Woodward, in his public and private character, affords the best assurance that he will bring honesty, capacity, firmness and patriotism to the direc tion of the affairs of the Common wealth. Long withdrawn, by judici al fnnctions, from the politigal arena, he did not withhold his warning voice when conservative men took counsel togother upon the dangers that men. aced our country. His speech at the town meeting at Philadelphia in De cember, 1860, has been vindicated by Subsequent events as a signal exhibi tion of statesmanlike sagacity. Under his administration we may hope that Pennsylvania, with God's blessing, will 'resume her place as "th e - Keystone of the Federal arch." CHARLES J. BIDDLE, Chai rman. REMOVAL.
