ADDRESS OP THE UNION REPUBLICAN -. . - (i : STATE CEXI'KAL CUMll'TEE. ; , . Committee Hooms, ITarriskur-i, August 27th, 1807. To the People oj Pennsyloania : Feluio Citizrns : Iu a recent address Irum ibis Committee your attculiun was invited to sundry issues and priuciplcs involved ia the pending can vass ; and al.-.'J Id tlie political opinions and judicial decisions of George Share wood. A fcliurl review ol the priuuipul occurreuces, since the lust State Campais;n. is now considered proper. The contest of 18Gtj wan fought, in the main, upon the aiueuduicuta proposed by Congress to tho Constitution of the United States. These were national issues; and o) the one aide were arrayed the Uuiou Kcpublican party aud the "lioys iu Ulue;" and on the oth er l'rcsidoni Johnson, tho Democratic par ty, and all the rebels and their fympathi kcrs from otto end of tho Union to the other. On theso momentous issues Penn sylvania rallied in her strength ; und poll ed over one hundred and forty thousand mure votes than at her preceding aunuiil election. Aaiuug the results, were the triumphant election of Major Ceneral Joliu V. Geary lor Governor, and the en dorsement of Congress, by the return of a d legation more uuuuituuus for the right than ever kuowu before ia the history of the Commonwealth. Other loyal S'.utes united with us-, ;ui 1 tho insane and wick ed "Policy" of President Johnson, and of his ii ew liiends aud allies, was over whelmol by the unprecedented and nr.ig uillcjul popular luitjorily of fjiir hundred tltuusHud rules ! Every State which had been faithful to the national government aud the cau.se of the I'uion during the war, approved the proposed amendments. Every rebel Jslato, except Tennessee, re jected them ; aud under the rcLcl provi sional governments created by Prcaideut Joliti.sou, rebel pnrcr resumed its author ity, aud became dominant iu their execu tive, legislative aud judicial departments. Vagraut aud labor laws virtually re-eu-slaved the lieedmen. Jjoyal meu were outlawed aud trampled uuder foot ; and the revived spirit of the rebellion was ev erywhere triumphant. Klots, murders, outrages and assassinations were the order of the day, and soeurity for either the lives or tho property of loyal men was aownoro luuuJ.. Traitor had troot aoittd, loyalty had been made odious, apd trea sonable couspira'ors against the life ol the nation were viudietive aud rampant. ueh was the condition of public af fairs iu the South when Congress conven ed in December, lbtjo. 'liiid nation bad solemnly resolved, and voted, that the I'uiuii should be restored on the basis of of loyalty aud justice; and to this end was the Fortieth Congress elected. Hence were passed the llccoustructiou luws, in execution of the recent popular verdict. The President vetoed thrn, refusiug to accent or abide by the decision of the dco- ' ,!. tu U'borti hi! had Sii often anil sn vatinf- nigly appealed. Congress re enacted them over the vetoes, by mure than the requir ed two third.; and they are now the laws of the land. Under them, including the amendments ol last session, reconstruc tion is rapidly piogressing ; and would doubtless ere long bo sucoessiuly accom plished, but lor the persistent obstructions by the 1'tesidetit, m dciiauec of Cougiess and popular will. Justice is being done; loyal men, white and black, have beeu protected from tha malice of defeated rebels ; treason, in a measure at lciit, has "beeu made odii.us" aud traitors have beeu compelled "to Uko back seats" as An drew Johu.siju in a lucid interval, declared they should. Exea the better portion of the rebels admit the justice of these rc eoustt uetion laws, and cheerfully acqui esce iu their provisions. General James I.oiigstreet, a distinguished rebel officer, in a recent published letter irom .New Orleans, expresses himself as follows : I shall set out by assuming a proposition that I hold to be self-evident, viz : The high est of human laws is the law that is estab lished by appeal to arms. The great princi ples that divided political parlies prior to the late war were thoroughly discussed by cur wisest statesmen. VMieu iirg'iineut Was ex hausted resort was had to cotnpvumiso. When compromise was unavailing, discussion was lein wed and expedients were sought, but none cuu'.d bo found to suit the emergency. Ap peal was finally ma le to tho sword, to deter miuc which of the claims was the tru-2 con struction or constitutional law. 'The sword has decided in favor of tho North ; and what they claimed as r.'Kyic, cease to be princi ples, and arc become lav. The views that as hold cease to bo priuciples because they are opposed to law. Ii is, theiefore, our duty to abandon ideas that arc obsolete, and conform t j the requirements of law. Tha military bill and amendments are peace offerings. We should accept them as such, nnd plare our selves upon them as the starling point from which to meet future political issues as they aris." Je:f. Thompson, another rebel General in a late letter to Geo. D. Prentice, Esp, endorses .ho reconstruction laws of Congress, thus: The confederate government wiped ou. States righl3 the first year of its exUience, a bloody war wiped out slavery, aud wiped out the confederacy, so they arc obsolete ideas ; and the plain i:iesti,m now preseuted is 'Will you r.'cept citizenship under our terms, at contained in this law V And 1 tinj.haiicj.Uj answer, ics S" It is greatly to be regretted th4t terms which are so acceptable to tho lighting rebels of the South, bhoul.l be so distaste ful, and cause fo much clamoi, from their noacombataut sympathizers in the North. WHOLE JfUMKER 1061 The enemies of tho Uuited States hav ing been finally defeated in battle, united their efforts to elect sympathizers from ths North and to procure tha adruiisioc of enough rebels from the South, to eoablo thera, through Conyrcss, to attain what they had lost in the field. Tho rro- gramme was frustrated by the loyal peo ple at the billot box, to the election of tha Fortieth Couirrtas. Defeated in ODen war. and again in Congress, tuese lafded con spirators, as a last resort, arc endeavoring io save "lite lost cause Uirougk the courts. They deny that anything has been settled by the war; and boldly proclaim that "all these grave pending questions" mast ba decided, ' just in fact us they would have l.f-n df.eidtd had they arisen eight year ago, or had no war taken place." Phil adelphia Aj", J uly Sth.) They not only deny the constitutional power of Congress to impose terms upon tha rebel States or people, but deny that Congress itself is a loyal body, because the rebel States aro unrepresented. Hence, the recent applica tion to the Supreme Court of the United States lor injunctions, to nullify the lte coustructioa Jaws of Coultcss in .Missis sippi, Georgia and other K btl States. Ia the same interest, and of the same char acter, is the nomination or George Shars wood, a well known and life long Stato rights nun, for the Supreme Court ot Pennsylvania. He judicially denies tl.d power of Congress to issue paper money, to give it value by uaking it a le-al ten der 7Vyri"e es. Trntt.
