To the Democrats and all other friends of the ( onslitulioii and Union in I'cnnsyl vuniu. The Diiinocnitio State Central Commit tee address )ou upon subjects of tho gra vest moment. Tliu life of our bt'loved country is in danour. Tito Nation wiithcs under tin) throes of wide spread civil war. All our patrioti-m ; and our wealth ; all our phya eal powers ; all of whatever vir tue exists in the Republic is iuvoked, and should be promptly aflbuled to save the National Constitution and the Union of the States from utter overthrow. Is there a I'cniylvauian who values the title of American citizen who reveres the memory of tho men of the Revolution, who values civil and religious liberty wh" abhors anarchy or tlospoti. m or, who claims to possess a manly, patriotic heart, that is not prepared to pledge life, fortune aud sacrctl honor for his country, in tliit, her hour of greatest ne'etl and per il None can withhold such assurances of a jut estimate of tho importance of pre i serving the existence of our Republican institutions. Wo approach you with tho full conviction, that the heart's of the great body of tho people of Pennsylvania aro with their country in this groat crisis of , her destiny ; that all that is needed, to bo satisfied of a feasible mode of relief and cxtiieation, and of the most cil'ective organ ization to combine all the forces that e.tn be applied to tpeedily and ofi'octually yield the happy fruits of returned peace und prosperity. To clearly iudicato the mode of relief it would appeaf to be propor to first deter mine the causo or causes of our pnsjut dif ficulties. Understanding the causes, it would seem to bo in the order of ntituro, that restoration should follow up their re moval. It is not compatible with the prac tical efficiency of an address, such as this, to engage in any elaborate exposition, or historical account of tho gradual progress of antecedent causes, that have at last cul initiated in the dreadful results wc now be hold. "Wo shall, therefore, necessarily bo brief, and best discharge our purpose by a btatcment of facts, whiih you will nil reo ognizo as correct, and by tho assertion of propositions and conclusions which wo maintain, caunot bo successfully controver ted. The troubles that are uow npon us aro those that tho fathers of t'li. country foresaw might arise upon the tlx.., ot pa triotism, and against whioli tho under took to guard by tho Constitution of tho United States, aud tho establishment there by of what was deemed by them and lifts ; until recently, proved, to bo tho harmoni ous action of States and Federal Govern ment in their refined and just relations to each other. Washington, in his farewell address, pointed out these dangers ; aud, j nbovo all, indicated as tho cvidenco of n waning attachment for tho Union and as tho precursor of its fall, tho creation of ' icctionul parties. It was in view of prob I ablo ollbrts in this direction that ho appeal i cd to his couutrymcn "io iudignantly I frown upon tho first dawning of every nt . tempt to alicnato any portion of our coun try from tho rest, or to cufecblo tho sacred , ties which link together tho various parts.' I Had tho country men of Washington suffi I cioutly appreciated his patriotio warning, tho wido-spread civil war that now utllirts jus would never havo cxi-tcd ; but on tho contrary, we jdiould, at thii time, under I Iho fupport which a most bountiful Provi diif.co is oxtending to us, bo in tho enjoy 1 meat of a degree of proporUy aud happi ness (we venturo to assert) unequalled in the history of nations, Most unfortunate ly, sectional parties havo grown up, beget ting sectional bitterness ; and already tho title of Aincriccn citizen begins to pale bo fore tho invasivn progress of such titles as Northerner and Southerner. Years ago men in tho North, then a vcrv insiunicatit combination, bop-an to assail our Constitution and our Union, 1 This faction basing its opposition upon a misguided sentimentality in regard to tho servitude of the nciro raco in tho South ern States, and allowing that sentimentali ty to swallow up all true feelings of patri otism; nud all duties as citizens, boldly proclaimed their hostility to tho Constitu tion and tho Uuion, which thoy rightly claimed recognized and was pledged not to , invade tho control of tho States respective ly over the institutions of domestic slavery Disloyal declarations such as "better no Union at all thau a Union with slave holders," became the axiomatic dicta of this faction, then and now (in its formida ble propirtious) best known as Abolition ists. Without dwelling upon the progress and growth of thii faction, it is toolamcut ably true aud well kuown that proclaiming through its leaders their chief object to bo "the ultimate extinction of slavery" it at tainctl to smcli consequence that tho people of the slaveholdiug States became alarmed and began to form counter combinations to resist tho threatened overthrow of what they claimed to be rights that were intend ed to bo sacredly guarded by the Constitu tion of the United States. At the same time thoro had existed an insignificant, and of themselves powerless, band of disu nionists in one or two of tho slaveholding States who siozed upon the opportunity thus afforded by the aRfresiivo action of the Abolitionists to stimulate thec counter J pie of tho rebellious States; being assured movements. These efforts wero too sue- that the pledges of tho President and Con cessful ; and materials too, for such efforts gross would be faithfully observed, would wore being continually supplied by the t have reluxcd their efforts in behalf of their success of the Abolitiouists. Abuse and usurping government, and, that the Union obloquy against tho slaveholder streamed ' men of tho south, and the returning sense out from tome puljiits in tho North, whore ! of the inastitnablo valuo of tho Union to the virus of Abolitiouism had been infused. all divisions of population there, would Retaliatory epithets were cudulgcd in by pulpits in the South against the Abolition ists. Church organizations in tho Union were split into organizations North aud South. Nominations for tho Presidency wero made upon issues, iu fainter or bolder terms, involving the question oftho existence of limitation of tho area of do mestic slavery. The decision of the su premo Court of the United States were resisted, its integrity assailed, and its re modelling avowed. These wcro followed by outbreaks, as illustrated by tho raid of John Rrowninto Virginia. Meantime the retaliatory and disunion movements in tho South, crystalized and proclaimed tho monstrous here.-y that tho Union was but auallieucoof sovereign States, and that any one of its members might in tho exer cise of an unlimited sovereignty, which was claimed for it, withdraw from such union. This heresy was designated, aud as we all kuow, is familiarly called Se cessionism, and, under its banner, a great and formidable party iu tho slave States was rallied. Thus were confronted two great section al parties tho Abolitionists North, and th?. Secessionists South the very anti - podes of each other iu their sentiments they met on the common plattorm ot tin union Eaoh alike, tended to ovcrthiow the Constitution and tho Union. Each alike, are tho enemies of tlio llrpubiie. i Tho Secessionists, claiming to act from the apprehension that the threat ''for tho ulti mate extinction of Slavery'' would be put I in execution, succeeded by bare majorities in some cases, aud by tho more efficient I organization of probable minorities in oth ers, in procuring tho adoption of ordinau ! ccs of Secession, or for thu withdrawl of ' such States from tho American Union as , aro now banded uuder tho designation of 'the Confederate States. Obtaining thus. the formal organizatiou of a government, , they set at defiance tho Constitution and the laws of the United States, and under ' took to resist their executiou within the 1 pretended juiUdiction of this revolutionary government. Tho Cloverumcns of tho I United States, iu strict accordance with its ' powers, uudei took to enforco these laws and to demand obedieneo to them armed I resistance was at ooce inaugurated on tho part oftho Secessionists, and thus bogan a rebellion and civil war that has becomo one of gigautio proportions, and for many of its characteristics one of tho most formi ! dablo that ever existed among a civilized people. At its outset, tho appeal was made to the loyal men of the North to fly to armu, in order to uphold tho Constitution and laws, and to maintain tho Union. ! With the rapidity of magie this appeal was responded to with uubouuded enthusiasm, and an armed force of 700,000 men stood ready to obey tho summons to meet tho foes of tho Uuion. President Lincoln, in i his inaugural address ho said : ' "I have no purpo?o, directly or indi 1 rcot y, to intorfero with tho institution of 1 slavery in the States where it exists, I i beliovo I havo no lawful right to do so, ' and I havo' no inclination to do so." i The Congress oftho United States, im mediately after tho battle of Bull Run, in July, 1801 Jlciolucd, that tho present deplorablo civil war has been forced upon the country by tho Disuuioutsts of Iho Southern atatcs, now in arms against tho Constitutional Government, and in arms around tho Cap itol; that in this uational omer gonoy Congress, banishing all feeling of mere passion on resentment, will recollect only its duty to tho wholo country ; that this war is not waged on their part in truy spirit of oppression, or for any purpose of con quest or subjugation, or purpose of over throwing or interfering with tho rights or established institutions of those States, but to defcud and maintain tho supremacy of tho Constitution, and to preserve tho Uni on, with all tho dignity, equality, and rights of tho several States unimpaired ; aud that as soon as these objects aro ac complished tho war ought to eeaso." inus tho taith ot tlie President and vuugi'iss was piuiigcu io every loyat man in mo xortn tuat ttio war was to Uo car , riot on for tlio Constitution as it is and tho Union as it was. Under the inspiration of this high, patriotic, and holy purpose, our gallant countrymen havo marched to tno uattie-ueiu, keeping ften to tlie musie of tho Union, enduring priv itions and nut-1 ferings that would have utterly appalled less patriotic and devoted soldiers. Tho enemy, although massed in formidable bodies, and supported by an energy, skill, and munitions of war that eviuced an in creased concentration of sentiment in be half oftho rebellion, yet, before the mighty shock of our arms inflicted by tho sol diers of the Union they for a time wcro vanquished ; their forts, towos, and other strongholds wero rapidly taken, and, amid the shouts of the exult ant and triumphant soldiery who had en listed for tho mere purpose of re-establishing devotion to, and tho protection of, our proud national ensign, tho star spangled banner there again spread out its folds At the beginning of those successes much attachment for the Union was developed among tho people where such cases occur red. It was hoped and believed that, with a few nioro similar important blows in flicted upon the rebellion that its force lit i . t . . . wouiu uavo neon spent, anil mat tnc peo completo the restoration of respect and obedience to the Constitution and law3 of the Federal Government. Theso hopes have not been rea'ized, aud the explana tion of this disappointment, in a great de gree at least, ii found in the cvidenco af forded of a terrible fact that the Abolition istsin the North aro determined that the white population of the South shall be ex terminated or held in subjugation, aud that our Uovcrnuicnt shall be overthrown, and tho Union of these States finally and for ever broken up. Yes exterminate the i wiiiics oi tuc ooutii, or govern tucm as a subjugated people, and overthrow tho Government and deshoy tho Union, is their purpose. Aim we asK your camuu con sideration for p. moment, until we present .to you a few points, from which you will see that tlie inferonce is irrcsistable that this is the design of this most disloyal band. Tho Constitution and tho Union wero early regarded by tho Abolitiouists as the barriers that stood in tho way of negro emancipation. Hence, such Constitution was by them denounced as a 'covenant with death and an agreement with hell.' So ' late as tho 15th of Juno last a portion of the members of this baud, at a meeting in i Massachusetts, passed a formal resolution, viz : I Jlcsolverl, That as Abolitonists, devoted to the great work of overthrowing slavery, ' wo renew aud repeat our old pledge, "No Union with slaveholders." No support to 1 any Administration or ' permits slavery on any portion lortion of its soil- ,ly as we believe it i and we valuo this war only ' must lead to omancipation by order of the Federal authorities, or to a dissolution of l tlio Union, which must speedily produce j the same result. 1 It is unnecessary to even specify the prominent evidences that, from time to time havo been afforded that tho Abolitionists had firmly resolved upon the destruction of this Government. A few of them aro found iu the unconstitutional, so called, Personal Liberty Hills,'' of several State?; tlio rcprjiited declarations of prominent party leaders, even iu the last Presidential canipniyn, (see tho speech delivered by Frank P Blair, at Franklin Hall iu tho City of Philadelphia, on tho 2d of Octo ber, 1H00, ouo week beforo the election,) iu which ho quoting still higher authority, declared that tho object of the Republican party was "the ultimate extinctiou of sla very." In the avowed determination to resist tho decision of the Supremo Court of tho Uuited States, iu the Dred Scott case, and in such dcclerntion as mado by Sena tor Wado, "a Union where all men aro equal, or no Union at all." Acting upon 1 this oiiginal purpose, and upon tho convio-1 tiou that a return to Uongrcss ot senators and Representatives from tho Southern States would result in their political over throw, the Abolitionists in tho lato Con gress have pursued a policy that has alarm ed every loyal man in the North, and forced tho conviction that our gallant ar mies in tho field, and tho whole nation wcro to bo thwarted in thoir patriotic pur poses. Tho resolution above quoted, adopted by Congress in July, 1601, im mediately after tho Bull Run disaster, it was sought to re-alTirui in thuprcsont Coti gross through a resolution offered by Mr. Ho! man, of Indiana, in tho lollowiug terms; - licboh'edi That tho unfortunato civil war into which tho Government of the United States has been forced by the trea sonable attempt of Southern Secessionists to destroy the Union, should not bo pros ecuted for any other purposo than the re- sjoratiou of tho authority of tho Constitu tion aud wclfaro of the wholo peoplo of the United States, who aro permanently in volved in tho preservation of our present form of Government, without modification or change. This resolution was defeated by a mo tion to lay it upon the table, made by Mr. Lovej y, by tho following vote, yoas 00, nays ua. ji inoso who voted to thus uo- feat the resolution CO wcro llcnublicans. wuno every jJcmocrat excepting one, and evcry IJorder States representative, whose vote is recorded, voted in tho negative. In co operation Tith this most signifi cant declaration, by the Federal IIouso of Representatives, wo had tho Military emancipation proclamations of Generals Fremont and Hunter. Along with theso wo n ad tuo project of Mr. Sumner, in tho Senate, to blot out tho State governments of tlie rebel States, rcduco them to a ter ritorial condition and to govern them as such. Then followed various emancipa tion schemes, and among them the project of confiscation of slaves nominally , but really a bill to emancipate them'. Wo cannot probably butter prove the operation of such measures upou the Southern mind, than to quote the lollowiug extract from the reply of twenty-ch-lit renroseutatives from tho JJordcr Slave States to President Lincoln, in reference to his appeal to them j to them, will, with arms in their hands, to adopt his project, that tho Federal Gov- perpetrate the atrocities of "the indisorim eminent should aid them with money to imtte slaughter of all ages, sexes, and pay tho master for his negro upon hi, 1 conditions"' barbarities in warfare of emancipation, viz : j which our ancestors complained against "Tho rebellion derives its strength front!

Wo forbear to dis cuss tho question, whether such soldiers (?) arc not a burlesque upon tho name, and whether clothing and arming negroes as such, beside tho waste of clothes, arms, and other supplies, is notcxposing us to defeat in battle, from tho clearly established fact, that the negro is utterly disqualified by naturo to stand the musketry and artillery fire not to speak of tho bayonet charge of modern Warfare. The subject has in finuely greater proportions when regarded in its effect to discourago enlistments by our own raco; resulting from the commen dable repugnance of tho white man to be placed upon an equality of military rank with tho negro. 13ut not the least objectionable consider ation is tho Cact, that this inferior raco having thejf minds and passions inflamed by the tales of real or imaginary wrongs which Abolitiouism is too careful to iuinart lU0in Ulc merciless niuiau savages, The history of the negro wars and in surrcotions in St. Domingo, and other West India Islands, is replete with tho barbarities of rapino and slaughter of helpless women and infants, that shook the sensibilities of tho lowest development of humanity in tho white man. And yet, should the negroes in the Southern States bo employed and armed by the Federal 'government against the white population tllc" tllQ atrocities of the West India India Islands we may naturally expect to be re peated here on a vastly more extended scale. Against such a fiendish policy would not only tho moral sensibilities of all tho whites of the Northern States who have not become brutalized by tho devil- ishnoss ot bolitionism, be most painfully SU00.Kct- uut tuo wholo civilized world would condemn us, and probably, in the cause of humanity, rise to stay atrocities so disgraceful, But what sane man can doult that un der such policy tlie last spark of Union sentiment in tho South would bo extin guished, and tho entire Southern popula tion become unitcu as one person against the Lrovcrnmcnt t it wore the merest lolly to suppose oiuerwtsc i now men would -UBa uoutinS briugback the revoltod States to tho Union !

As Pcnnsylvauians, you have poss tho Union than the peoplo of any othor otato. should the co.opsrative, yet m some sense, hostile movements of Aboli tionism ami Secessionist)) succeed, aud dis union becomo au established fact, Penn sylvania, owing to her peculiar geograph ical position, would bo exposed t) tho ties olatiou and becomo the battle field of tho conflictiou forces that mij-ht uudertako to settle all questions that would remain as the heritage ot disunion. These, however, wc forbear now to con template ; for wo arc uuwilling to bolievo that "that God who presides over the tics tir.ies of uatious" will permitsueh a terri ble dispensation to befall us. Wo aro uu willing to bel icvo that the peoplo of iho free States will ever becomo so madened as to aid tho spirit of Abolition, that seems now to brood over us liko some evil coniusjthat would control us to our destruc tion. It cannot bo that wo aro to havo a doom worse thau befell Babylon after she had " becomo the habitation of devils and tho hold of ovory foul spirit." Tho only cieuso offered by Abolition ism for its police, is thu plausible fallacy that "slavery is tha causo ot our threaten ed disunion." To those who look onW to jiniucdiato and prosimato causes, this position is captivating; but to thoso who remember that tho original Union, whio!i waged the war oftho Revolution, was mado up of thirteen slaveholding States ; that the Union at the timo of tho adoption of tho present Constitution, consisted of twelve .,rt7.1 .11- a- ... . .. onnvnuiiuiig to one irce otato, is is vorv jiiuin, iitat lusieau or slavery prouuctiiii; .llatintn,, ..-I . i i 1 disunion that, unless it had been recog nized and the faith oftho whole peoplo pledged for its protection, this Union would have never existed. It would bo as reasonable to argue that houses and money should bo extermina ted, because so long as they exist tlicie will bo incendiaries and thieves, as to ar gue that slavery should bo destroyed be cause so long as it exists there will bo Ab olitionists. Houses and money aro not more clearly and decidely recognized by the Constitution and laws oftho Federal Government, as subjected to the laws and protection of tho States where negro slavery is recognized. Iuceudiarics aud thieves no more violate the recognized rights of others when they burn houses and commit robbery, than do Abolitionists, when, by tho underground railroad or other devices, they deprive the slaveholders of tho South of that property to which the Constitution and laws of his States, as well as thoso of the United States guarantee protcetiou. If in the attempt to commit arson or rob bery, life is taken, it is murder iu the first degree ; so, too, it is murder of the samo grade to take life iu the unlawful attempt to deprive tho owner of his rights in tho services of his negro. And here, too, wu will remark that tho present war, if Abolitionists should succeed in diverting it from its proper purposo of upholding the Constitution and the Union, and prosti tuting it to their cherished object of free ing negroes by killing white men, would becomo an atrocious murderous war, that would justly subject all who give it tuch direction to the penalty oftho law imposed against the highest of crimes. The policy of Abolitionism, thcrcforc,Jis not only unsupported by one tenable ground, even for its palliation, but judged by its objects and its effects, it is in the highest degree criminal and disloyal. By eradicating Abolitionism, we remove not only sectionalism from the North, but tho cause of Fcotionalism iu the South. The fall of Abolitionism, wo verily be lieved would in a fhort timo be attended by tho fall of Secessionists Although the imaginary advantages of a Southern Con federacy, entertained by many in tho re volting States, has secured for it uncondi tion supporters, yet the desolation that has already attended upon their efforts at sep aration, the continued pressure of our arms, and the recollections of the blessings of tho Union, will, upon tho removal of the causo of tho Southern Sectionalism, ... ., .. . .. ' icvivc meir sentiments ol nationality. Wo believe that upon tho substantial extinction of Abolitionism, the Union cer tainly can be restored, but that without such distinction it never cau be. It is, therefore, quite as essential that tho ener gies of the loyal men of the North be di rected aaiust the Abolition foes of the Union as it is against Secession foes. It remains therefore only to inquiro in what way can these euergios bo most effectively directed to accomplish the desired purposo 1 Wc reply only by suppoiting the organi zation of the Democratic party. Thero is no other thoroughly loyal party iu tha land ; it has always been national ; it is the only party that has no affiliation or sympathy with sectionalism North or Sout'j it is the only party in Pcnnsylva nia, that is not in the sympathy or suppor3 ofsuch friends as Wado, Smntier, Greeley, Philips, Lovejoy, aud Wihuot. The na tioual men who supported Bell aud Ever ett in the lato Presidential canvass,wc bc Hjvo, may now counted iu tho rauks of the Democratic party. The only othdr poli tical ortiauizatiou in this State is tho enc mys of tho Demo, ratio party, who ha rallied once more under the designation of tho Peoplo's Party. This party held their Convention at Hamburg on tho 17th inst, and their true character is abundant ly shown in that in their resolntions thoy eulogize and sustain Senator Wilmot while they condemn Senator Cowan, both by, the homago paid to Mr. Wilmot, aud b refusing to Mr. Cowan even the niecd of ''faint prai c " Tho d sti iguishcd fsa turo in tho political course of thoso two Seuntors, it is well knowu, is that Mr. Wilmot has supported the extremes Abo lition measures of the present Congress, whilst Mr. Cowan ha won the admiratiou and confidence of every I'niou-loving pa triot in the land by his honest aud fearless opposition to theso measures measlircs thattondnd to mtko Disuuion perpetual.
