A CARD.
HARRISBURG, August 4th, 1862,
I have been asktid on several occasions to
write out for publication some remarks made
by myself at a public meeting on the evening
of 17th ultimo, but declined doing so until I
saw published, a few days since , the "Address
of the Democratic State Central Committee," from
which I make the following extracts :
"We believe that upon the substantial ex-
Unction of Abolitionism, the.
can be restored, but that without such extinc-
tion it never oan be. It is, therefore, quite as
essential that the energies of the loyal men of
the North be directed against the Abolition
foes of the Union, as it Is against Secession foes.
It remains, therefore, only to inquire in what
way can these energies be most effectively di
recttd to accomplish the desired purpose? We
reply, only by supporting the organization of
the Democratic party. There is no other thor
oughly loyal party in the land; it has always been
natio:tat ; td is the' only pang that has no affiliation
or sympathy with *sectionalism —North or &Wh—
it id cue only party. in Pennsylvania, that is not
iu sympathy or support of such friends as
Wade, burauar, Greeley, Phillips, Lovejoy, and
Witruut. 'the national men who supported
Bali and Everett in the late Presidential can
vass, we believe; may now be counted in the
ranks of the Democratic party.
"Every patriot in the land should knots and feel
that the only chance for the preservation of our Ares
ea Government, its Constitution and the Union based
itdreon, is in the success of the Democratie party en
the free States, at the next election I If we Aid, then
ah es lost, and the hitherto glorious fabric of our
once great Governmesia, well Jail into the abyss of
awn/ay, or Ali upon' its ruins a despotism will be
reared.
"lu either event our future will be marked
in desolated homes, ruined fortunes, the de=
ivatiou of personal liberty and personal secu
rity, and very possibly our soil and our streams
be reddened with tbe blood of our own people
Iu such circumstances we appeal to every royal
l'euusylvanian to do his duty, by giving his
euctgies, hie influence and his vote to insure
the success of the noioluees of the Democratic
pany."
leis pretended Democratic organization hav
ing thus again bultily and impudently claimed
eh the loyelity and patriotism, and all the
pAver to save the country in this hour of its
trial and trouble,. I am willing that my re
'woke on the occasion alluded to shalt go to
the people of Peuuaylvauie, mid let them judge
of the loyalty and patriotism of this portion of
the Deuiocracy of Pennsylvania as judged by
lie past history and record.
Yours truly, _
'DORY D. MOORE.
Guam Mumma, Esq., Eduor of the Telegraph.
Speeoa. of the Hon, Henry D, Moore,
Ddiveral at the Grand Mau Ralifizalion Meeting of
tFe People of P ennvioania assembled in Barris
burgonthe 1714 Julm, to ' auiorm the nominations
of thc/tran and Rota,
If I thought your call upon me at this time
WB5 an n to ma k e a political orr
speech, I should unhesitatingly decline t o r e
spond to any such invitation, foc I cannot but
feel that if there ever was a period in the hisl
tory of our country when mere party lines and
party names and party distinctions should
obliterated, that time is the present ; and I do
not hesitatito to declare,' that any man or any
set of men, who claim that their party alone
possesess all the patriotism, all the love of
country, all the respect for the Union and the
Constitution, and all the power to save the
country and bring" it out of its present trials
and troubles, I say that any men who claim
all this for their party alone at this time,
are traitors to their country, and would sacri
fice it and all its great interests on the
shrine of a foul and corrupt political or
party organization I my fellow citizens,
this is no time for mere party lines, party is
sues or party organizations I It Is not to the
Ilepublican party, to the Democratic 'party. t°
the Whig party or to any other mere political
Party that we are to look for the safety of our
country and its institutions ! It is to the Pio
pie of the country, to the good and patdotio of
all parties to whom we are to look in this dark
hour of trial and trouble ; and when 1 see be
fore me good men and true of all parties, men
who have come together with but one object
in view, and that object the crushing out of this
iniquitous and traitorous rebellion, and the pun
ishment of its infamous and traitorous leaders;
and instigators, then I do not hesitate to de
clare myself for and with that party by , what
ever name you may call it ! With these teel
bags, my fellow citizens, I respond to your call,
and will very briefly give you my views of the
present position of our country, the duty every
good citizen owes to that country, and how he
can best discharge that duty at the coming elec
tion. I have said that Ido not intend , to indite
a political speech ; .by that I mean, that I do
not intend to discuss a single question of poli
tical economy or party principles, for I hold
that all such questions are ices and merged into
the greater question as to whether we are to
preserve our country and its institutions, or
whether they are vi be and lost destroyed by
the parricidal-hands now raised against it I
By the action of this day's Convention we
now have two parties and tickets in the field
for the support of the people of Pennsylva
nia ; one, a ticket nominated by a party
organization claiming to be the Democratic
party of the country ; the other, nominated
without reference to party by a convention
made up of members of all parties heretofore
known in our State. Now let us examine the
merits of these two organizations, and the
position they both hold to the rebellion which
has brought the wail of mourning into almost
every family and household in our country.—
And here let me say, that if in doing this I
shall say anything which shall appear harsh
and severe of one of these organizations, that
one calling upon the people to rally to the stand
ard of the Democratic party, it will be because I
have been forced to it from the fact that this
party thro' its addressees, and papers,and public
speakers, and conventions, are now claiming to
nave all the patriotism, all the love of country,
all the devotion to the union and the consti
tution, and all the power to save the country,
while it, denies to me and every other man who
does not swear by their party, any of these
virtues,,and charges us wadi being abolitionists
and enemies to the union and the constitution 1
Now as I do not choose to suffer under such an
imputation as this from a party. wnich has been
a nursery and hot bed for treason 'for the last
fifteen or twenty years, and which has given
birth to every single traitor who was engaged
in the inception of this rebellion,-I shad dis
cuss its merits with all that freedom which its
history and its present position demands. And
now let me ask in the first place, where did
this traitorous rebellion commence, and who
was it , that first struck down the flag of our
country and trampled it lathe dust P Who was
it that struck the first traitorous blow of the
most infamous rebellion which the history of
the world ever knew ? Why as you all know
it commenced in South Carolina,
a state which
never cast its vote for any party but this same
democratic party now reorganizing in our state,
and without a single exception every traitorous
leader and instigator of this rebellion was and
is a member of this same democratic plenty I
!rheee , aeree-e,
but I assert their correctness and chal
leuge their contradiction ; and more than that,
three of its prominent leaders were members
of the cabinet of the last Democratic adminis
tration, and were traitorously engaged in the
preliminary steps of this rebellion and perjuring
their souls while they were yet acting as officers
of the Government which they had sworn to
uphold and defend! Are these not facts my
fellow citizens ? are they'not part of the history
of our country ? Who is Cobb and Floyd, and
Thompson, Jeff Davis, Breckenridge, Wigfall,
Rhea, Yancey, Mason, Slidell and so on down
through the long list of leaders in this accursed
tebellion, and who are they, all, every man of
them but Democrats and more than that,
whenever you find a man here in our State who
sympathises with or excuses these traitors, that
man will claim to be a Democrat also 1 Now
let me not be misunderstood: I do not mean
to say that all Democrats at the North are sytu
pathisers with these traitors andlisecessionists;
tar from it, for -there are hundreds and thous
ands of Democrats who areas honest, true and
loyal men as can be' found in - any party, and
many of them are now fighting the battles to
our country; but wharl do mean to assert is
this, and the history of this rebellion will prove
it, that the rebellion commenced in a State
which never voted for anylnit a Democratic
party; that every leader and, instigator of it was
a Democrat, and whenever you tied a man in
our /State who syMpathises with it, you will
and him to be a Demon at ; and yes under these
circumstances the leaders of this Democratic
party, are reorganizing under strict party lines,
claiming that they are the only party that can
save, the country, and appealing to the citizens
of Pennsylvania to put them in, power again I
And what is their argument? Upon what do
they cast theirappeal for your support? du they
promise to stand by the administration in it
fforts to crush out this rebellion ? how do they
do it? Why by villitying and abating the ad
ministration and denouncing them as abolition
ists and 'violate's of the constitution.and the
tights of the South]. Do these demobrats de-.
uounce the traitorous leaders and instigators of
this rebellion ? do they ever intimate that those
leaders must be punished for their treason ?
Not a word of it; on the contrary, they defend
them on every occasion 1 Why. look
„at the
vote last month in - Congress upon the propose
don - offered by the member from lowa, Mr.
Wilson 1 He introduced a bill declaring traitors
ineligible to office under the Government. I
have the 'provisions of his bill, and it substan
tially provides •
" that any person elected or appointed to
any ethos of honor or profit under the Govern
ment of the United States, either in the civil,
military, or naval department, shall, before
entering on the duties of such office, and before
being entitled to any of the salary or other
emoluments thereof, take and subscribe an
oath that he had never voluntarily borne arms
against the Government of the United States
sauce he had been a citizen thereot ; had volun
tarily given no aid, countenance, counsel, or
ellQ , Anagenient to persons engaged in armed
hostility thereto; had never sought or .acccept

the United States; that he had neither volun

authority, power, or constitution hostile or
inimical thereto; that he will support and
defend the Constitution and Government of the
United States, and all laws made in pursuance
thereof, against all enemies, foreign or domestic;
bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that

reservation or evasion;

be preserved among the files of the Court,
House of Congress, or Department to which
such office may appertain ; and any person
falsely taking such oath shall be guilty of per
jury; and on conviction , thereof shall, in addi
tion to the penaltie's now prescribed, be deprived
of his office, and rendered incapable forever
thereafter of holding any office under the
Government of the 'United States.'!
Now, you will see that this bill did not pro
pose to embrace all who had been-in arms
against the Government, or who had given
money and means to support the war against
it, for there nre'many who were forced into . the
army, and compelled to support the war. So
it ig stipulated that , it should apply,.only to
those who voluntarily took up arms against
their country. A very reasonable' proposition
certainly. 1 ask, is there 'a, person before me
who would vote to place in a position of power,
and trust, and responsibility under this Govtan
ment, a man who had voluntarily taken up
arms to destroy it?. And yet, what was the
vote upon this proposition ? Look at it 1 In

—lt would seem from this fact that our Dem
ocratic friends are not more anxious to conserve
slavery to rebels than to retain their interest
in politics. And the reason is plain—they.. de
sire to cherish in every way the fidelity and the
utility of the rebels to the Democratic party
and cause.
Now, my fellow citizens, I ask what do these
things meart_P_Wiann
prufamentatiaderstand4
of this rebellion were Democrats, and take that
in connexion with the fact, that their brother
Democrats in Congress are voting to allow them
to hold their offices of trust and responsibility
again, what does it mean I say ? Why it means
just this, that the political leadeqi of this
Democratic party who are reorganizing here in
our State on strict party lines; are doing so
with the expectation and belief, that when this
war is over, that these sefessionists and traitors
of their , party at the South who have struck
down the flag of the country, and , who have
been endeiviug to wade into power again thro'
seas of blood, that they shall gave and possess
the same political power and privileges they al
wayi enjoyed, and with their assistance they
hope again to get possession of the National
Government and all its power and patronage
They know that the political administration of
every State now in arms against the Govern
ment is Democratic, a Democracy after their
own heart, and they cannot afford politically
to have these brother Democrats of theirs at
the South disfranchised or snorn of any of theii
political power or ,privileges- for the .future ;
these are the, reasons why you find the Demo
outdo leaders and presses and ; members of Con
gress excusing these traitors, and trying to pal
date their treason by saying, that they were
driven to it by the Abolitiouista. Why, m)
fellow citizens' look at the address recently put
forth by the Democratic memuers of Douglas
and signed by Democrats from this State; Calling
upon the people to " rally to the standard of the
Democratic.party." The framers, of, this address
tee iing" that they should have sane excuse to j us•
tidy their base partizan appeal to the public at a
time like, this, conammice it with a most un
blusbiag falsehood in saying, Unit .the present
National Administration "in all its etas; and
uppinintelts.kis recognized , and still does its fealty
and caudal:ons to zany 1" is it not monstrous
that au organization, pretending to be a great
national patty, should-
_for patty purposes put
.orth such falsehoods as this? Why who did,
President Lincoln first offer :the . position in
his -Cabinet of Secretary of War? Joseph
Solt of Kentucky, as true :a .Democrat as ever
lived ; who is now his Secretary of Watt
Edward M. Staunton, another Democrat Who
did he appoint Governor of, Tennessee? Andy
Johnson. Who is Chairman of the Commission
appointed by him to examine the contracts
uuder the War Department? a Democrat. Who
is General lif:Clellan, General butler, General
*Dix, and so on through the- list of more than
A huudred Democrats that could' be named
appointed by him to high and responsible
positions, and yet they assert this falsehood
~f the Administration. But in this address
what do they ask the people to "rally to the
standard of the Democratic party" for is it to
put down this rebellion and restore the supra
macy of the laws in the revolted states? not
one word does this address speak of crushingput
this Southern conspiracy, but it asks the people
to rally to their standard "to kill abolition . '"
What a mockery this is? at a time like this
when the nation is struggling for its very exis
tence, when a had* mildon ,of traitors are in
arms against it, and causing the blood of- our
fathers and sons and brothers to flow like rivers
of water, fora political organization pretending
to be a great national Democratic party to come
before the people and ask them to rally to their
standard upon the old, stale, miserable party
cry of "abolitionism.' Why, my fellow citi
zens, when they commenced this rebellion there
were not as many abolitionists in the whole
country as -there were Democratic traitors In
the single 'state of South Carolina `1 And these
Southern traitors have been threatening dis
union and secession for the last twenty years,
but as long as (they could :Wield and con
trol the political power and patronage of
the government they failed to, carry out
their threats, but wheatilitiy could no longer
govern, when they lona that Allies' power
was slipping - from their hands, then the 3
carried their traitorous threats into execu
tion and struck down the flag of our country,
and most grievously are they paying for their
treason in their blighted homes and desolated
fields! They have "sown die wind and are
new reaping the whirlwind;" they have "taken
the sword,' and I say in-God's name "let them
perish by the sword." My fellow-citizens,,when
read of the scenes of desolation and destruc
don which this treasonable rebellion has
brought upon the South, it brings most vividly
to my , recollection a scene which I witnessed to
the senate chamber at Washington twelve years
ago, and the word/ which I heard uttered at
that time seem to me'now to have been words
of prophetic warning to *lkse traitors! I had
gone, into the- senate chamber while the bill
tor the admission of Catifornia-nata antler- dki:
cuszion, ant theMemodritie 'Senator from Ala,
trams Mr: Clemeus, hid the floor. lie was
maki n g one of those denunciatory 'Tenches
against the North, and
,said, if Ottilferuia. was
admitted as: a free state without some, boon be-,
tag granted to the South, that Alabarim would
go, out of the Union, - And be closed his speech
uy saying, that he rfor, one would be prepared
to act "utterly ,regardksa of amsequences", He
had scarcely tiktin lAs seat woen I heard a
clarion voice tinging out : "Sin. PRZSIDENT 1"
I turned" around and saw a tall majestic form
standing there with his eagle eye fixed on the
Senator from Alabama who had just taken his
'seat : "Sir, (said he) the honorable Senator who
has just taen his seat lias said, that in a cer
min•contingency of circumstances, Alabama
wilt secede from the. Union, and he would be
prepared to act utterly regardless of consequences !
Let me tell my honorable friend that he
must not; that he can not, nay that he dare
not act "utterly regardkut of consequences." Let
me tell him that there is no situation in life in
which he can ' be placed, I care not what it is,
or where it *Whether he be in the midst of the
deriert solitary and alone or_ whether he be up
orithe rolling billows of the mighty deep with
naught beneath him but a single plank, and
naught above him but the - blue canopy of
heaven, there is' no situation in life .in which
he will not be held accountable by his Maker
and his God in acting "utterly regardless of con
sequences." My fellow citizens, .the man who
uttered that magnificent rebuke of this south
ern Senator, was the noble anrikunentedlllenry
Clay ; and they were indeed words of prophecy,
for these men who have for years, been uttering
these threats of semen= and. disunion have at
last carried them out utterly regardless of con
stqliences," and their blighted .homes and deco
laced fields are unmistakable, evidences that
they are being "held aca.nnitalde for it by their
Maker and their God."
Now, my fellow citizens, it is no pleasure to
me to bring up these facts; „and truths against
this Democratic party, but,when I see them
raising their party fitandard at a time_like this,
and claiming alltthe virtue and isatikitism, and
all the respect for the Constitution,and charging
the Administration and every ody else with
being Abolitionists and enemies ..of the Con
stitution and the Union, cannot for,
bear to state these facts "whiclt'are I .a part of
marg. elAhe e-adminz

influenced by the insane ravings of a Wendell
Philips, a Lloyd Garrison, or any other aboli
tionist. Not one in five thousand of the friends
Ofthe'present Administration do` now or ever
did hold to the teachings or sentiments of these
men, and these - Democratle.politicians know it;
hilt they must have some rallying cry,. and as
they cannot denounce the Democratic mstiga

they therefore charge. us all with 'being aboli

and - restore the Union by killing ns off and re
storing -to these southern Democratic traitors
all the political powers and privileges they
heretofore enjoyed; and this is what they mean
by "restoring the .Union as it was." And I
say again:that with such a history as this it is
the most impudent piece of presumption ever
heard of, for this pretended Democratic orgapi

like this,. and Claim that Whits rdwitirs been the

fay:fellow citizens, let me say to you in con

du .not :realize the terrible, the fearful position
n which they stand as a nation i I fear they
do not realize the fact, that there is at this time
ueingscartied on in their midst, around their
own homes, in their own country, one of
the most bloody and sanguinary wars which
the history of the world has recorded
fur the last two centuries, and that soon,
very 'soon is-to , be decided the issue
whether we are a - nation of freemen capa
ble of self-government, or whether we are to
