We print, to-day Ths Address of the Onion State Central Committee, to the loyal men of Pennsylvania, and in order to make room for this document, we omit our usual sum mary of other matter. The address is a high ly creditable production, reflecting great credit on the chairman of the committee, Cyrus P. Markle, Esq. Its tone is earnest, patriotic and truthful. By its perusal we are convinced at once, that its appeals to the loyal men of Penn sylvania are based on the fact that if this loyalty is not aroused to a full appreciation of the dan gers by which we are surrounded, loyalty to the government may be made the motive of a persecution at once horrible and unrelenting. The loyal menpf Pennsylvania must maks themselves felt at the ballot box 'patty as forcibly as they are felt on the battle field. If the secret enemies of the Union are permitted to triumph at the bal lot box, there will be little hope for those who are now so nobly struggling in battle, amid car nage and death, for the defence of the Union. These are stern facts, and on these the chairman of the Union State Central Committee bases an argument at once unanswerable and eloquent. Let no man fail to read the address, and let all be admonished by its apppeals, to increase the already noble efforts of the people of Penn sylvania in behalf of the Union and the Gov ernment. A PERTINENT QUESTION. 1761 Buats County intelligence" ask; why it is that none of the Brockinridge leaders appear as speakersor partaken in the . great Union war meetings now being held thoughont the coun try? Are their hearts so hardened by love of —: • paitY and lust of power that they have no word of cheer for the cause of our imperiled govern = meat? Have they nothing to say in behalf of that beneficent Union that has always cherish ed them?—and have they no words of condem nation and rebuke for the infamous traitors who are striving to reduce our beautiful fabric of government to a shapeless mass of ruins? .lave they not a single thrill of sympathy with the thousands of brave men who have gone out to fight under the folds of our national en "sign, and to defend its purity from the attacks of implacable enemies? If they have, why do -they not come forth and join , their voice! and = their hearth to the great' outionrings of loyalty "that occur almost daily throughout our land? ..Are party attachments so supreme fh-their es timation that they cannot be laid iwide even when their country' is' to be saved ? If they are, then God help the country in which they , live, and under whose nurture they .haTe dour ished, and save our nation from the utter de etruction that is threatened because of their perverseness and insane devotion to a wicked and inhuman system of oppreision ! Till DETAILS OF ME DRAFT. .Bon. A. S. 11 1 01nre has kindly volunteered to aid Gov. Curtin in the details and the pre parations for the draft, a work at once fraught with great labor and importance. The organi sation of this force will require great care and attention, and much depends titiOn the manner in which it is officered and sent into the field, as to whether it will be of theiervice designed• when the War Department made the order, for the draft. The material for an immense foece will be found to exist in every locality of the. state. Such localities are to be credited with the force already contributed, with the dis tinctive difference, that the number enlisted in the regular service cannot be estimated and oreditiA as an offset to what may be required In the draft. • It is only those who have vol unteered in response , to calla from the State, that will be mated in the draft. To attend to such of the . ' details of the work as would have fallen on the Executive, Col. it'Clnre has patriotically' volunteered, and we can safely anticipate that he wit' discharge such duties faithfully. The organisation of the drafted force into companies and reginients, will be made as has been the other forces from this state, by Adj. Qen. Russell. It is of course to this depart ment that such work belongs, and 'we need not write how well Gen. Russell will discharge his share of this most important duty. Jeri. DAVIS, in his message to the rebel Con• graze, is very severe upon the 'Yankees' 1011 counterfeiting his Confederate shinpituteis, and boasts that none, of the Southerners have been mean ehough to engage in this business; but the Richmond papers prove that Jeff. lies, by announcing the execution. of a man who, has been convicted of counterfeiting Confederj, s t a Thum cotes.

LOYAL NEN OF PENNSYLVANIA _ HIADQUAZTIIIIB OF THII lIS/ON 114TLTS Csoraia Commeerce, Cothmonwealth Buildings, No. 618 Chestnut Street. PiaLADBLPIILt, August 26, 1862. Farrow Crites= In times of war the poli tical organizations of peace are surrendered pr postponedlo thepublic emergent lee. During the Revolutionary war there was no party against Washington but the tories or the trai tors. During the war of 1812, the enemies of the Administration of Mr. Madison soon be came as infamous as the foreigninvaders them selves. The war with Mexico was waged, as results have proved, by slaveholding states men, in order that one State more might be added to the number they have lately forced into treason ; yet the p u blic man who oppeeed it soon became unpopular ' and its victoileas general was nominated for the Presidency by the very party that, dissented from, the , policy which resulted in the war. These are the elo quent teachings of the past. We are now in a death struggle.with the most powerful fee to human liberty on earth. This enemy is strengthened by slavery in America, and sus tained by the monarchies 'of the Old World. The issue is clearly made—the contending par. ties openly arrayed against each other. There is not a nation, an individual, or an idea op posed to human freedom-that is not enlisted apinst this Government and in favor-of the 'rebellion. We are ourselves our only friends. Within ourselves is our only hope. Wit can have no ,sympathy from any other power in the world—no sympathy that is sincere and effectual: The State Central Committed, ap pointed by the Union State Coutention, com posed of the loyal men of Pennsylvania, who met to consider what was proper to be, one in this exists, have a simple duty to perform in this their first address. They hats only to ask whether the examples of the two wars with Great Britian, and the admonitions of the war with Mexico, shall be recollected or rejected:in ' this gloomy hour, and whether the American people will cordially support the Governinent in putting down this rebellion. the State Central Committee would impress upon the people of Pennsylvania that the one gieatsubject for them to consider is the danger to the Republic. There is no prejudice or opinion that should not be poitponed, and, if necessary, sacrificed, to avert this common peril. The Convention front which the committee derive its authority acted in this spirit, and It is now your duty to come forward and sustain the candi- dates that Convention placed in nomination..., We make this appeal to all loyal men. They only are loyal who recognize this war as one waged for our national existence—who give an ardent and unquestioning support to the Ad ministration—who sustained all the measures of Congress for the maintenance of the war making power—who see in the Southern Con federacy, and those who are in alliance with it, the enemies of Civilization and Libertiy—and who do nothing to weaken the bands of the Executive. They are not merely disloyal.who take arms in their hands, and combine them selves into an army. He is a rebel who abjures his allegiance and becomes an enemy to his flag; but he is a traitor, who, while enjoying the pro tection of the Government, and ostensibly Ob serving his pledge of allegiance, contrives to bring dishonor and defeat upon his country . These rebels and thew traitors we are called upon to meet. 'We must encounter them' n the battlefield and at the ballot-box. The lbal lot-box is the great source of popular power. If beaten there, our victories will be fruitless, our sufferings unrewarded, our sacrifices barren, I and the glory and valor of our soldiers will end in the triumph of the Southern rebellion and a dishonorable peace. It is unnecessary to restate the causes of the war. Our opponents have made them the subs stance of calumny and misrepresentation. Furl answer, we appeal to the living history familiar' to all men. We need not remind the people that at the basis of the'liouthern rebellion there exists a hatred of Northern men and Northern institutions—of our social, political and revenue systems. This has instilled their leaders during two generations' Wedded to an institution which has demor a lised them in demoralizing their labor, and cultivating the earth by an enslaved race of men, they have made their slaves the source of eh political power, and have ruled the nation with the products of slave labor. The happy hours of our national pro gress have for years' been embittered by their Insolence. All legislation that looked to the prosperity of the Northern States and protec tion to their industry has been opposed and de feated by them. With the growth of Northern strength, as the'result of free institutions and free toil, came the possession of political power and the gradual renitence, to the encroachments of slavery. : Nor need we remind the people of the outrageuthat followed the efforts of the elaveholders, to recover their unholy and des potic dominion. The outrages upon Hamm; the studied insults to Northern Senators and Representatives; the'ceaseless abuse of the Northern people, and the gradual concentra tion of the military and naval power. In the hands of the traitors, all' contemplated the res toration of their aticendency, and enabled them to inaugurate the treason which culminated In war.. Streugthened by , a wicked Affniinistra tion, and sustained by timid and treacherous men ha the = free States, they were permitted to organize an armed resistance, and to , make fearful advanced, before the Goverhment could strike .a blow in its own defence. The election of Mx. Lincoln to the Presidency, so fortunate to the country, and so fruitful of saving consequences to the whole people baffled the immediate purposes of the conspirators. The alverearies of Mr. Lincoln's Adminigtre tion are in , nearly every case the adversaries, of the Government. They attack' the one • to ' weaken the other. We recognize in the Ex ecutive the embodiment of that authority which can alone destroy the rebellion and rescue the Republic. If the Executive arm Is paralyzed, there can be neither unity among the people, victory for our armies, nor hope for the preset . vation of the Government. While the enemies of the war propcSe ad_ haring to the form of a mere party organization, the loyal men have yielded their preferences and systems, content to defer to the days of peace the revival of disputa; which can only be , repeated now to the injury , of the common cause. Let the people decide whether that interest is deserving of confidence which, in the midst , of war, refuses to abandon the prejudices of party strife, and in the midst of national peril devotee itself to the work of dividing the people. The opponents of the war are' more anxious to prove their hatred to a party than to the public enemy. They insist that the "demon Abandon" is the most dangerous foe of the public peace. We can see but one great crimi nal—but one great enemy of the Republic—and luta now in aims against our countrymen and brothers. To defeat him at once and forever is our first and-most imperative duty. The adversaries of the war insists that they oontendfor the-Union as it was, and the Cita etitution oat is. tWe, too, are for the Union as it Wag; .but, not for the return of the armed asasciates of the syntrathisers with treason' to tee place& erelong occupied and Ito 'basely de serted.

It tildrjron to say whether the traitors-shall be crushed or whether our free institutions shall be destroyed. There is, and there can be, no middle pathway. There are, indeed but parties—patriots and trai tors—those who are for the Union and those who are against it. And all men who are not openly_ for the Republic must be counted among Its enemies. It is a fact that you canna too carefully pon der, that the leaders of the opposition to the Government in this State are the same, with discreditable exceptions, who encouraged the PllicT which entiounotert the traomst to com mence-the rebellion. 'Their terfole effort since the war began-has been to divide the people of the loyal States. They tuntoneced,: early in lea, that Pennsylvania should join the South in the event of a separation, and this, is their secret hope to-clay. 'They would havahild the hands of the Government that the rebels might strike at its heart; and would have succeeded but for-the Prompt courage of - President Lin coln. They followed,the - fortunes of General Etreckinridge up to the period of his desertion into the ranks of the rebels. They repeat his arguments in this their country's darkest hour. Their plea for the Constitution was his plea be fore he drew his sword against it. They clamor, as he clamored, against the Abolitionists. They deplore emancipator, even while , they , deny that the most effective emancipationists are the slave "holders themselves . They bewail confis cation acts, whilejefferson Davis sequestrates the property of all 'loyal men in the South.— And, as if to complete the parallel, and to show how sincerely they love the traitors, even es they pretend to despise the treason, they see our brave men perishing on the battle field and in hospitals, from the disease of the swamp% and the bullets of the foe, and discourage enlist ments in order that they may be:relieved ; and, while prating, of a ,lorgre exodus into the. free States, to .ter rify our Laming whites, denounite the employmertt of the escaped cOlored men of I the South to lighten the burdens and lessen the labors ofthe wide defenders of Ake Sag .t We address you, loyal brothers and friends, in the :earnest hope that you will not desert your country lu this momentous crisis: We feel that we have the right of• this great argument.
