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.

paper of the - West), shows the esti

cal adversaries : .

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
