To th liepxiblieam of Pennsylvania : You era called upon, once more, to make a tlaod iu defence of your prin ciples. The party which, by it polit ical heresies, plunged tb la country into bloody war, stands arrayed against you on precisely the grounds which it occupied in 1860, and proposes to re open all the old controversies which it was thought had been settled by the war, and it therefore becomes necessa ry to sustain at the polls the govern mental policy which has prevailed un der a Republican administration. "An undented and restored Consti tution," which is equivalent to the Southern demacd for "the Constitu tion as it was," is what the .Democra cy of Pennsylvania asks for in the re cently issued address of its State Com mittee, it wants to ignore or rule out the thirteenth, fourteenth, and nileeutb amendments to the CoffBtitutiou, and restore the Constitution as it stood be fore the war. It sets up a pretence that those amendments are null and void, and if it should return to power we mar naturally look for an attempt to enforce a relapso to the condition of things that existed prior to tho Kebel lion. The recent armed uprisings in the South, accompanied by numerous mut tiers, outrages innumerable, open re bellion, and the eetauhshmeut of reign ot terror to intimidate tbe un armed and peaceful citizeus, had the full sanction and sympathy of the Northern Democracy, and were plain ly but part of a general plan to re establish the old order of things. The part of tbe Noorthern Democ racy is to lull the people into a false security, and steal back into place up on false prelences, if possible. The part of tbe Southern Democracy is to set up a reign of violence, and by such an lutiniuution ot the weak as will keep them from the polls, to inetal themselves into offices to which they could never otherwise attain. The two work together in ptfect harmony, aud their joint triumph would utterly annihilate all the beueGcial results of the war. It is tho part of the Republican of lennsylvama to crush this conspiracy by thoroughly defeating those engaged in it, and they can do this only by rallying heartily to the support of their State ticket, and by cordially supporting their local nominations, so as to secure the election ot a large majority, of the Congressmen and a decUive majority iu the Legislature, The people ot Pcnusylvauia do not want to return to "a restored Consti tution, or "the Constitution as it was. They do not want to come back agaiu under tbe iusolent rule of the Southern oligarchy, or to put their varied and grand iudustrial . interests at the mercy of tha free trade dema gogues who control the Democratic party. Hut, strong as are their convictions upon this subject, they can enforce them only in one way, and that is at polls. X hey must elect men in bar mony with their well-kuown views and interests ; and this can be done only by securing a thorough defeat of tbe JJeniocratio party. Xbe last Ueuocralic estate Conven tion did not dare to open its mouth in favor of protection to American indus try, or against the ratification of the Reciprocity lreaty, which is free trade in disguise. It bad not tbe courage to take aides with the party in other States on those questions, and was equally cowardly iu declining to take the other side. Un tbe two great ques lions which involve the material in teresta of the State, the prosperity of its people, and tbe development ot its wealth, it was as silent as tbe grave. No one doubts that tbe sympathies are witb tbe enemies of our material pro gress, and the rule is as good in this case as in every other "lie that is not for us ia against us." If, therefore, the people of Pennsvl vsnia wr.nt to defend aud promote the growth and prosperity of their Slate, they will not entrust its destines to the hands of a party that daro not open its lips iu their favor. Tbe Dem ocratic party of tbe nation la for Tree trade, and tbe outspoken part of it is in favor of repudiation; and it is for the people of Pennsylvania to decide whether they will again permit such a party to control, and by controlling to ruin, their future prospects. Tbe Republicaq party of the State baa had possession of the Government since 1861,' aud has proved in that time its claim to continued public con fideuce. It has administered the gov ernment honestly, faithfully, ecouonji callv. and iustlv. The State has grown with rapid strides under its fortering care: the laws are every where judicious ly enforced i al it eds but the maintenance of the protective policy on the part ot the National Govern. men t, to secure our advance, at an raj ly day, into tbe front rank of all tbe States. When the Republicans assumed the reins of the Slate Government in 1861 they found a State debt of over 140, 000,000, and the breaking out of the Rebellion entailed an immediate addi tion to that debt of 11,500,000 Tor arming tbe people and defending the State, so that they began their admin istration with the burden of over 143,- 000,000 of debt. That debt has now been reduced to 124,000,000. a reduc tion in round uumbeni of SI 9,000,000 in thirteen years, or $1,600,000 yerly. This reduction has been accomplished by economy and honesty in the admin istration of the finances, and not by taxation. The Bute tax on real estate was repealed in 1866, and that on per sonal estate in 1873, so that while tho State is free from direct taxation it is still rapidly and steadily extinguish ing its debt. This is a handsome record to present, and is a Complete asswertto all tbe ridiculous charges that have been trumped up of corruptness and ex travagance. The Stale has never been better or more honestly managed un der any administration, and we point to this record with pride in the con trast it presents to the policy which, during the rule of the Democrats, in flicted upou the State a debt of S40, 000,000, accompanied with a heavy burden of direct taxatipt.. We desire to remind our Republican friends that the Legislature to be cho sen this fall will have in its hands the election of a United States Senator for six years. It is of the utmost im portance, therefore, that, ignoring all causes of local distraction, they should unite actively, firmly, and harmoni ously in behalf of their local candi- didates for the Legislature throughout the State. .Lvery Democrat elected to the Legislature in Republican coun ties on a local issue, will vote only for a Democrat for United States Senator, and no true Republican will, by bis vote, render such a result possible. We also entreat our Irieuds to pay no heed to the attempt to delude them into the belief that the Republican party is opposed to the new Constitu tion. It mas a Republican State Con vention which first demanded a revi aion of the old Constitution so as to secure the suppression of special legis lation: it was a Republican Lecijia- tare which called the Constitutional Convention1; the Constitutional Con vention was itself Republican ; it was the Republican vote of the State which secured tbe adoption of the new Con stitutiou ; and it was a Republican Legislature which framed tbe legists tion necessary to carry its provisions into effect. The party record is too clean upen all these poiuts to be ques tioued or doubted. . ; -f . . The business depression which has fallen upon the country in the past year has been btnmed upon the Gov ernment and as the effect of Republi can policy; but as the same depression was prevalent throughout Jburope, it is clear that it must be due to other causes. The country is already rapid ly recovering from its effects, a result which, when panics occurre l hereto fore, required several years to accom plish; and as the on. y remedy whicn Democracy odors is freo trade and a return to the destructive policy which produced the ruinous revulsions of 1837 and 1807, the people will bod it much safer to trust to the policy un der which the country ia now recuper ating than to fall back upou the ex ploded one that prevailed under .Dem ocratic rule. , i : i i i i . We earnestly urge upon our friends throughout the Commonwealth to wake up to the real importance ot the pending election, and by energetio work to render certain a uepubiican victory. Such a victory is not to be won by supineness, and folding the hands iu careless neglect of the great issues at stake, v ictorv, it won, must be sought, and not waited for. Active, euergetic, unflagging effort ia essential to assured success, it ia not in the power ot the Democracy to carry this State of themselves, but carelessness aud neglect on our part may aid them Uigfuiization, work, and the cultiva te of a spirit of conciliation and harmony where local differences have prevailed, will accomplish much; and we appeal to the Republicans of the Stale, aa thev love their cherished principles, aa they are devoted to the promotion of the material interests of tbe Commonwealth, aa they value tbe preservation of the peace of the Union and ita perpetuity, a they desire the permanent establishment of the pro tective policy, as they value honesty, integrity, and fidelity in their publio servants, to put on a fiesh seal for their sacred and righteous cause, to re uewjUieir hearty devotion to their prin ciples and the welfare of the couutry, aud by a strong and determined rally at the poll, to crush out at once the hope of those who would light again the fires of rebillion at the South, and the purpose to ro operate with them which animates their Democratic co adjutors at the North. I$y order of Republican Slate Com mittee. Kl'soki.l Errktt. Chairman. WHT fHOll.O UK IM1UK OIK BlI- From the Philadelphia Press. We are in tho midst of aa import ant political campaign, involving the election of State ufheera for the first time tinder the new Constitution. For ten years past tbe Republican party has almost uninternptedly held con trol of all the depart menu in tbe State govern neut, administering them so faithfully that no charge if malfeaa ance or allegation of faithlessness of any kind could ahake tha confidence of tha people In their rules, because result lairly shown and practically felt convinced them tbst thero was no necessity fur a change. Why, then, should we change now T , ,i ut, lur instance, snouia ine po pie of Pennsylvania refuse to tlect Harrison Allen Auditor General? Wherein has he failed to do bis duty ? He has been tried ; bis record ia open to ail tha world ; bis deeds are known to all men, and it can be truly writ' ten of him that no man who ever held tbe same office waa more faithful than he haa been in the discharge of all hi duties. Ha haa collected the publio revenue, or seen that they have been returned to tho Treasury, with a close scrutiny. He has aleruly forced the payment of back taxee from corpora ttoiia witn aa impartiality which no longer requires litigation on the part of the law orbcer of the Common wealth, and he ha reduced the public debt so srp.dily and regularly that our securities are now tellinc at higher premium than the bond of any btate of tho Uuion. Mr. Temple, the Democratic candi date, may be a good man, and might possibly make an efficient Auditor.but all this must be proved, and there is more or lesa risk in every test. Gen eral Allen has been tested and found fuithfu). He has the true metal in him, and we all know what be is. It is not business like or prudent to dis charge a faithful, true servant to en gage a stranger. Again, why should we send General Beat Ii adrift muster bin) out of office, to muster In General McCandless? Death baa given every possible evi dence of bis faithfulness in civil aa well as military life, while McCaiidless, al inougn a gallant soldier, uniformly acted witb tbe disloyal Democracy, Beath fought like a hero to the end of the war, leaving a leg on the. battle field aa a tribute ol hia devotion to his country. McCandleea while in the army waa constantly criticising the civil power of the Government which directed the struggle for the Union, and waa unreserved in bis expression of sympathy for tbe political party which gave aid and comfort to treason carrying that sympathy to such a height that be resigned his commission as a soldier at an early date iu the war because his politics were not re cognized in the policy of the war for the Union. Wbv-should Pennsylvania make John Latta Lieutenant Governor in stead of Arthur G. Ol instead ? When Latta was in the Senate he voted on all questions with sympathize! with treason, he denied the right of a sol dier in the held to a vote; be aeon ted the proposition ot freeing thealaveain the district of Columbia,, and -voted agaiust the resolution instructing our Congressmen to support that measure : and when be was a member of the House he opposed all State aid of the Ceutennial. Mr. Olrastcad I record as a loyal man ia as sound aa that of any matt in the State, and hia character as a legislator is above reproach. No man bei ever dared to charge bin with corruptiou. His votes and hia voice in the hall of legislation were always on the side of right, and bis niauly devotion to tbe National Gov ernment in the hour of ita peril, and to hia State, are part of the proud records of the Commonwealth, We give these facta to the people of reDusyivaoia lor lair coosiueraima, now that by their votea the men before them for btate officers will be rejected or accepted. Tbe Republican par.y basea ita record on facta ef well-doing aud faithfulness to the Government it has administered. It never asks for an honor until it deserves it. It nev er presents au unworthy man as a can didal. It has uo rewards for the foes of the country ; aud the people have alwaya trusted it. Wby, .then, should they make a change of ruler uowf Let the ballot-box answer in November, Tbe Vicksburg Timet of last Satur day put the following question to the DeutooiaUof Vicksburg: "If a peace able contest with the ballot at the polls ia only contemplated, why the demand for firearms in tbe Booth, tin precedented since the dark daya of secession and civil war?''

Capital fled from us, says the ad dress of the McEnery committee of New Orlaoa. This is cool. Capital rushed eagerly to the South to fill the openings left by the desolations of the lhe inducements were great for capital war. I he booth reeded capital, and to go there. How was it received? The first condition for the security of capital was the surrender, on the part of the capitalist, of his political and social opinions, whenever they differed from those which are held as orthodox in the South. The penalty of this ia not only social ostracism, hut the nsecurity of property, A white Re publican is regarded there as the asso ciate of negroes ; is held in contempt and subjected to insults which brave men will not, indeed, hesitate to en counter in the way of their duty, but which no man mho regards hia com fort mill seek. It mould just suit old John Brown, and some of the more cntitcntiooe men and womcu too, who, "have a mission," aud mho delight to be persecuted, and are all the more likely to go into juat luch inconve nience and just auch danger. But they are not the people who develop the resources and build up the industries of a community, lhe South needs capital and drive it way. Only those to a horn capital ia most needful have the power to repel it. There ia every- tbiug in the natural condition of the South to attract capital ; there la eve rything in tbe couduct of tbe people to keep it away, and to drive it away after it baa gone there, in spite of them. Capital baa fled from them aa the lamb does from the wolf, aa tbe traveler flees from the robber, aa mea flee from pemileuee. If the people of the .South waut the capital of the North, they know how to get it; if they don't want it, they know bow to drive it off. By their acta, not by tlu ir professions, are tuen judged.
