for the Union, under thc general direc

down, the President ceases to be the rep
resentative of national power; and as all
these perish, so, too, will all men who are
now free and independent, either be sac
rificed to the horrors of war, or be doomed
to the still greater horrors of slaver.
From these alternatives there is no es
c cape. Our political enemies have so
couched their battle cry as to render most
odious.tliosc who now represent the Na
tional authority; while our armed foes,
. (J.he natural allies of those opposed to us
politically) have schooled their followers
in the same prejudices. So closely are
these identified, even now it is boasted,
in the revolted States as being onty ne
cessary for the success of rebellion, that
the peace Democracy should succeed in
loyal States; while the peace Democracy
insist, as thc basis of their success, that
the rebellion must first become a military
triumph. This is not an assumption of
our own to make an argument against our
" enemies. The history of the whole
course of the slaveholders' rebellion cor
roborates it on one side, while the career
of those who sympathize with treason af
firms it on the other. Hence thc neces

armed force and vigor arc broken, there
should be no change in the Administra

vious reasons impress us with the import
ance of this position. A change of men
-would involve a change of measures; so
that while thc loyal States were under
going such a revulsion, the States that
are in rebellion would be afforded time to

national honor, and the enforcement of
the national authority against the aggrcs
sions of a desperate and wicked conspira
cy are the only objects which should now
claim the attention of parties aud engage
thc efforts of those who represent the
Government. Until that authority which
is the supreme law of the land is recog

dare not be any terms of peace offered to
traitors. Until peace elicits unqualified

Resolved,. That the alacrity with which
the G overnor of Pennsylvania has con
tributed, through the aid of our fellow-
citizens, to the national defence, is in
keeping with the character of loyalty ev
er borne by the Keystone State. Through
the active energy of Governor Curtin,
Pennsylvania has had the satisfaction of
knowing that her State flag has floated in
almost every battle fought for the Union,
while no Commonwealth has given more
of its material means in aid of the Gov
ernment than that which the wise and
frugal measures of Andrew G. Curtin
have enabled this State to extend to the
National Government.
Resolved, That the highest rewards of
the nation are due to the brave men who
are now in the fiold, periling their lives
in a struggle witii a Dase ana wicked con

have already perished in the fight for the
Union, and extend to those who survive
to return once more to their homes the
honor which their valor has fairly won, and
the peaceful rest which their labors so
eminently deserve.
Resolved, That we thank the loyal
members of the Legislature for the steady
and persistent course with which they
have maintained the honor.and credit of
the Commonwealth, and the stern patriot
ism with which they also resisted the rev
olutionary schemes of the minorities in
the Senate and House. The attitude of
the majority in both branches, on thc in
terest question and on the enfranchise
ment of the soldier, was controlled alike
by regard for economy and a determina

Union, citizens deserving the highest
rank and franchises; while the course of

arc now in the lead or our armies, and
that we hold ourselves in readiness, at a
moment's warning, to second the efforts
of these to render the summer campaign
against treason the final end of the strug
gle for the peace of the country and thc
full recognition of the authority of the
Government in all the States.

Harrisburg, April 30, 1864.
The following is a copy of thco?wnr
or's Message, sent to the Lcgislaturcron
Saturday: To thc Senate and-House of
Representatives :
Gentlemen On the I5th of June last,
in consequence of the advance of the re
bel army north of the Potomac, thc Pres
ident issued his proclamation calling for
militia from this State to repel the inva
sion. I immediately issued my procla
mation of the same date, calling on the
militia to come forward. When the men
began to assemble under this call of the
President, some difficulties arose from
their unwillingness to be mustered into
the service of the United States, as mis
chievous persons made themselves busy
in misrepresenting the consequences of
such muster. In this state of affairs I
suggested, to the President the expedien
cy of my calling the militia, so as to re
move the difficulties which had been thus
created. The President approved of the
suggestion, and, for the purpose of at
taining the end proposed by his procla
mation, directed me to make a State call
for militia. I accordingly, on the 26th
day of June, 1863, issued my call for the
militia. The United States clothed, e
quipped, and subsisted the men thus
called in the .emergency, but declined to
pay them, on thc ground that Congress
had made no appropriation for that pur
pose. Assurances were, however, re
ceived from the War Department, that if
the money to pcy these troops shoujd be
advanced by corporations or individuals,
application would be made to Congress,
on its meetiug, to make the necessary ap
propriation to refund the money thus ad
vanced. Copies of two telegraphic des
patches from the Secretary of War are
herewith submitted one address to . me,
dated July22, 1863, and the other ad
dressed to a member of a committee of
the Union League of Philadelphia, dated j
July 21st, 1863, and which was immedi- J
ately communicated to me. On the
iaun or tnese assurances, i proposed that j
the moneyed institutions of the State

tnere being
no State appropriation for thc purpose.
I pledged myself that if the money should
be so advanced I would recommand an
appropriation by the Legislature to re
fund it, in case Congress should fail to do
so . A copy of my letter on this subject,
dated July 22d, 1863, is herewith sub
mitted. These being not entirely satis
factory to the gentlemen composing the
Committee of Ranks, they had an inter
view with me here, and I finally handed
to thorn the paper dated 24th July, 1863,
a copy of which is also herewith submit
ted. Several of the banks and other cor
porations in the State, acting with their
accustomed spirit and patriotism, prompt
ly came forward, and agreed to advance
the necessary funds, and the troops were
accordingly paid. The disbursements
were made, and the pay accounts were so
faithfully as well as formally kept by
gentlemen who acted entirely without
compensation, that they were settled by
the Adjuatant General of the State, with
the accounting officers at Washington,
without any objections arising.
The sums thus advanced amount, with
interest, at the present time, to about sev
en hundred thousand dollars. It ought
to be added that little more than one-half
of this sum was required to pay the troops
during the existence ot the emergency.
The remainder was expended in paying
such of them as against my remonstrance
! were detained afterwards by the United
j States for the purpose of enforcement of
tne arait.
The answer given by the Secretary of
War was, of course, sanctioned by the
President. The pay of these troops was,
in fact, a debt of the United States, and
the faith of the Government was pledged
to do all in its power to procure the prop
er appropriation by Congress, to refund
the money. I regret to say that the
President has not considered it to be his
duty to lay the matter openly before Con
gress in a message. A bill, it is true has
been introduced, and is now pending in
Congress, providing the necessary appro
priation, but it has mot with opposition,
and in the absence of some public dccla
ration by thc Executive, of the pledges
made by the Government, it may proba
bly be defeated.
Mcanwile, as your session is drawing to
a close, I feel bound to redeem the faith
of thc Executive Department of Pennsyl
vania, and do therefore earnestly recom
mend the passage of a law providing for
the repayment of the sums advanced, as
hereinbefoio stated, if Congress should
fail to provide therefor at its present ses
sion. Our owu good faith will be thus pre
served, and it can be in no other manne.

most equable plan for accomplishing this, All subscriptions should ha addressed
and, at the same time thc easiest one, is , to JOHN W. CLAGHORN, Treasurer,
to ask fors the contribution of a single ' office of the "Committee on Labor. Tn-
day's labor from all classes in the commu
nity. Many will contribute a day of
their labor willingly, who would not sub
scribe their money. To reach every de
partment of industry and art will be a
work of great labor, but, if attained, will
be productive of immense results.
The success of thc plan will depend
upon thc hearty co-operation of every el
ement of influence within our limits, and
we invite all the guardians of the indus
trial interest, and all' others, to take hold
with us in furthering this great work of
patriotism and humanity.
The Committee is charged with thc
following duty, to wit:
1. To obtain thc contribution of "one
day's labor," or earnings, from every ar
tisan and laborer, foreman, operative and
employee; president, cashier, teller and
clerk of every incorporated and unincor
porated company, railroad and express
company, employing firm, bank, manu
factory, iron works, oil works, mill, mine
and public office: from everv nrivatc
banker and broker, importer, auctioneer
and merchant; clerk, agent and salesman;
designer, finisher and artist; publisher,
printer and mechanic; from every gov-
p.rnmnnt nffir.nr. nnntrnfitor luidnmnlnvno
: : .7 , ; i j
grocer, butcher, baker and dealer'; iarm-
! er, horticulturist and producer; from ev
ery mantua maker, milliner and female
operative: every individual engaged in
turning the soil, tending the loom, or in
any way earning a livelihood, or building
a fortune within the States of Pennsylva
nia. New Jersey and Delaware.
2. To obtain the contribution of one
day's "Revenue," from all the great, cm
ploying establishments, firms, corpora
tions, companies, railroads and works.
3. To obtain the contribution of one
day's income from every retired person,
and person of fortune male and female
living upon their means, and from all
clergymen, lawyers, physicians, dentists,
editors, authors and professors; all other
persons engaged in the learned or other
professions.
Much of this Work must be performed
by the personal influence and efforts of
ladies and gentlemen associated, or to be
associated with thc Committee in carry
ing out this plan.
. Thc Committee feel the responsibility
of the work they have undertaken, which,
to be successful, will require a very per
fect ramification of their plan, and they
therefore call upon all earnest people, to
assemble themselves together in every
town, township, and county, and form
organizations of ladies and gentlemen to
co-operate with them in this great work
and labor of love. . In thc manufactur
ing counties, thc coal and oil regions,
and in the agricultural districts, espe
cially, let there be organizations in the
large towns, so that thc young people
may have an opportunity thus to render
assistance to their relatives and friends
fighting the battles of their county in thc
armies of the nation.
The work of this Committee may be
prosecuted where no other effort can be
made for thc Pair, as in thc mines of the
coal regions. A day's earnings of thc
miners, and a day's product of the mines,
can be obtained, where no portable arti
cle could be procured for transportation.
Indeed there is no part or section of these
States where the day's labor may not be
obtained if organizations can be formed
to reach them.
Thc Committee cannot close, without
urging upon all Proprietors of Establish
ments, the duty of taking prompt and cn
ergeti6 actiou to secure the benefit of thc
day of labor from all within their con
trol. Thc Committee deem it unnecessary
to do more, than thus to present thc sub
ject to the people of the three States
named. In the coming campaigns of our
armies, thc labors oi tne "o.iim.jr vum
mission" will be greatly augmented. Ry j
tho first of Juuc 700,000 men one of j
tho largest armies of modern times will ;
be operating in thc field. So large a j
force, scattered over regions to which the 1
men arc unacclimated, must necessarily
carry along with it a large amount of
sickness, suffering aud death, to say noth
ing of thc gathered horrors of the batttle
fiold. These. sufferings, it is our bounden du
ty, as men and. Christians, to relieve. A
great and enlightened people, enjoying
tho blessings of a
government
of their
own making, canuot refuse assistance to
mau suffering to maintain its authority,

wealth, shall fail behind any similar ef
fort which has yet been made for the re
lief of thc Nation's children.
As it is desirable not to mnitiply circu
lars; no further authority than this cir
cular will be Rccczsary for any employ
ing firm or company, or any respectable
committee of ladies and gentlemen, to
proceed at once, in thc work of this com
mittee; and it is hoped' that under it, or
