ADDRESS OF THE Republican State Central Committee COILKIXTIM ROOMS, ' t TIARTITRzirrzo, July 26, 1887. f .To the People of PeOnsylvanda. Fellow alizens:--The official term of Geo. W. Woodward, Chief Jus tice of the Supreme Court of the State, is about to expire ; and under the Constitution his successor will be elected on the second- 'Tuesday of October next. This election is every way important, and the more so, be cause of the great principles and is ' - NPolved, -Nd bf tory shows a constant tendency in these several departments to enlarge thi..ir respectiie jurisdictions, 'and oc casionally to encroach on each other; and especially is this true• of the ju diciary. It is but recently the Su preme Court of the United States, in the interests of slavery, gravely un dertook to overturn the fouudations 'of the GOVernmeut on that question, and to nullify and destroy, - acts of Congress enacted by the men who made the Constitution. ,The• Dred Scott decision virtually legalized and extended slavery over alit' the Territories - of the Union, in defilthce of Congress and the people ; and laid down principles, which, but for subsequent events, would have ex tended slavery and made it lawful all the States. And after the re- Snt civil war was inarkturated, our ate judiciary, ,by a denial of 'the I I .onstitntionai powers of Congress fold of oar , State Legislature, in 1 measures absolutely necessary to ;airy on the war and save the na ion, so imperiled our cause as to', make intelligent patriots everywhere tremble for the issue of the contest. True, Oleie false theories did not pre vail.. But it is equally true the con itinued assertion of them paralyzed e arms of both the National and ate Governments,? distracted , and disheartened our people, gave aid and comfort to the enemy, prolonged' ' the, War, and added immeasurably to onr sacrifices of blood and treasure. fence it is, " That warned by past olisfortunes,we ask that the Supreme Open of the State be placed in bar: mony with the political opinion of the majority of the 'people, to the end" that the Court may never again, b* unjust decisions, seek to set aside laws vital to the nation." Who, then, are Henry; W. Williams and George Sharawocd, the candi dates for this vacant seat upon - the Sipreme bench ? What are their past regords, and •where do they stand, in these eventful t huge, and on these momentous issues ? The weal or woe of the Common Wealth, and perhaps of the nation, is involv edin these queitions ; and it be heoves every patriotic voter is the State-to examine them with care. Of Judge Williams, the Union Re publican candidate, we here propose teigive_no extended biography. He is a high-toned Christian gentleman, about foEtpaix years of age, a ripe scholar, and a learned and eminent laiwyer, with fifteen years', judicial, e:Oericnce, on the benc‘of the His tr ct Cowl of Alleghe4 , county. H was first elected judge in 1851, w en he'ran over one thousand voters ahead of his ticket, and was re!eled a' in 1881, by the unanimous vote! of all parties. The following ex traot from an editorial in the Pitts. burg Pon (the. principal Democratic paper of the - West), shows the esti mation in which he is held' by, politi cal adversaries : . ?"The nomination of the Hon. 'len t? W. ,Willistes Its a 'pandidate .for .1 TOWANDA, Judge of the 'npreme Court is a gOod bne: .& the best maknomed in !the Republican Conteation,and selikses regal anti moral qua/lent:ono Kul the responsible position to which he hasbeen nominated. e is of the Webster and Clay school of politics, and ;during the re cent civil war, from the beginning to the end, did everything in his power, through his means; his voice, and his votes, to strengthen the bands an 4 encourage the hearts of the loy al peopte'in the struggle to maintain the Union. , Who, and what Judge Sliarawood is, as a public man,-will apPear from what : Early in the history of this nation political sentiment •became divided on the powers of the National and State governments, Pnd their tree relations to :each other.' On these divisions . two great parties , were subset:leen ly '\ founded. The one, kniiwn as the ' State Rights party, had John, . Calhoun for its champi on ; and hnother, for its recognized leader, ii d the great expounder of the COD titution, Daniel ..,.,Webster. The for er held free trade, and the right of nullification and secession, as car inal doctrines, denying the conatit tional power - of Congress to impose ditties for . protection, and claim' g:nullification and secession as inh rent rights of a State. The latter denied these assumptions, and between these convicting principles and parties there has been perpetual warfare. In the main, the oh! Whig party ranged itself under the ban ner of Webster, and the Democratic party under that of Calhoun. One of the legitimate fruits of the States rights doctrine was the rebellion of 1833, in South eardina ; the avowed object of which was en_millify the protective tariff law. of Congress, en acted in 1828. The country at that time was saved from a disastrous civil wit by the firinness of Presi dent Jackson, the wisdom of Con gress, and the patriotlism of General Scott., That effort at rebellion and civil war failed ; and the principle on which it was based was repudia ted. But in 1860 and 1861 South , Carolina, and other rebel States, again endeavored to put- in force their States rights doctrine of seces sion. „The sympathy, imbecility, and connivance of President Buchanan,. and his advisers, so contributed to the success of the effort, tha t con• summation could only be prevented by a, long, desperate, and I bloody civil war. hr the end,-and after fear ful sacrifices of life and treasure, the rights and power of the National Government were again vindicated ; and the Calhoun doctrine ofseces sion was „ again overthrown. Such' at least has. been the popular nvic -10 . tion,l.and cause for rejoicing ; and even'( the worst of Southern rebels have; been enmpelled to confess it, and .for two years past have been weeping over their ” lost cause." Strange, sad, and incredible as' it "ay seem, we are already called tip s) s to fight these great Issues over agia's I 'The Democratic party, with JUdg: Sharswood for its leader, and with F •e Trade, State Rights and Secession upon its banner, is again marshaling : hosts, and now sum moning us i the field of political combat, on the: • same issues I That party, at their :tional Conventions, In 1856 and 1860, readopted what are known as the •Vi inia'and Ken tucky resolutions of 1 98 and 1799, as part of their pled° I s. These fesolutions are known as ' embodi .?theat of the old State rights nd Cal houn doctrines. They 'do net ekard the relations of the States or s • 'pie thereof to the United States as se; stituting a government, in the ord nary and proper sense ofthe ~,term, but declare them to be Me rely ti?com pact? and that : " as Wall other cases_ of compact among parties hauing no com mon jtidge each party has an equal right to fudge for itself, ,is WELL OF IN* FRACTIONS, sp OF THE MODE AND. MEASURE OF REDRESS.' • . Under this free Demopratic char ter for rebellion, the i 'lawful. election of Abraham. Lincoln as President of the United State w as Claimed by • the people of the ( r bel States as an "infraction" of t e " compact "-; and they chose - sec salon and civil war as the , `` . mode," and the destruc tion of the'UniOn and State indepen,, deice as " the measures of redress." The Democratic, party at its last Na tional Convention 'proclaimed the war a failure ; and it has now put in the field a live-long Free Trade and State Rights candidate, whom Judge Black endorses as. one whO ":will stand by the Constitution and give pure law " viz 1 who will stand. by- the Constitution as the State-Eighth party construe it, and give us such " pure law " as Judge Black has given President BUCHANAN -- and ANDREW JOHNSON. . • - Judge- Saasswoon and his party friendshave not only denied the law ful power of the National Govern ment to coerce a rebeliouw State, to make and enforce a draft, , to make paper money wiegal tender, to eman cipate and arm negroes, to piciish rebels and traitors by disfranchise ment, to suspend the writ of habeas l l , corpus in time of rebellion, or to ar ,rest and try offenders in time of war by court-martial ; but they hold that all .these things, though- actually done, were illegally and wrongfully done, and therefor?) settled nothing Or, as the Democratic organ , (the Philadelphia Ave,) in recent elabo rate editorial on the liebublican State platform, thus _expresses the same idea : "We put It to the sober thoughts of the people of Penesylvar lila, whether they woqid not have, all these grave pending questions decid ed according to law ; and not-accord ing to wai, par, is Tpscr,, AO MY NOIII4) nAvr.
