Addresaof the Democratic State ,
Senators. , v,
To the Democrats of Pennsylvania:
Fellow Citizens : At this juncturo
in tho proceedings of the Sonato of Pen-i
asylvania, the undersigned deem it their
right and duty to address you.
For more than two months we havo un
itedly and determinedly withstood au ef
fort on tho part of tho Kepublican mem
bers of that body to subvert tho organic
law, to ignore tho precedents of sevonty
years of our history, and to trainplo undor
foot the rights of their equals and peers.
In so doing wo have Been actuated by tho
high resolve, that by no act of tho repres
entatives of tho only law-abiding political
organization iu this Commonwealth should
tho rights and constitutional privileges ol
tho peoplo bo subverted. Wo havo relied
with unshaken faith upon that people for
onr support and vindication, and to the
end that their verdict may bo rendered
with a full knowFcdgo of tho facts, wo beg
leave to present a brief history of our pos
ition during tho protraoted and exciting
contest which has just closed.
Tho members of tho Sen ito assembled
in tho Senate Chamber at Ilarrisburg on
Tuesday, January 5th, A. D. 1601, at
3 P. M. Of the twenty-two Senators
holding over, all wero present save Major
White, who was a prisoner in the hands of
the rebels; of those present, twelve were
Democrats, and nino Republicans. The
Scnato was called to order by the Hon. J.
P' Penney, tho Speaker elected at tho
eloso of the session of 1863. Tho Secre
tary ol tho Commonwealth was then in
troduced and presented tho returns from
the dhlricts which had elected Senators in
October 1803. The returns were opened
and read, by which it appeared that four
Democrats and seven Republicans had
been elected all of whom wero present,
thereby causing a tio in the voto between
the two great political organizations of the
country as represented on that door.
Upon tho reading of the certificates of
election, it would have been tho duty of
the Senator elected Speaker at tho close
of tho session of 18fi3, to have vacated the
chair, had he been governed in his action
by tho express terms of tho Constitution,
which, by section X, Article I, prescribes
that'the General Assembly shall meet on
the 1st Tuesday of January in every year
and by section XI, of the same Articlo,
that ''each House" (i. e. when they meet
on that day) shall elect its Speaker and
other ofiioers. It appears to tho undor
signod that tho word "each House shall
elect its Speaker" aro sufficiently certain
to determine tho question that no one
elected Speaker by tho Senate of 1803
could exercise the duties of that olBcc over
tuo tie nato ol iao4 the latter being a'
sew and disiinct body, mado up of other
members who had never participated in an
election for Speaker, and as by tho ex
press terms of tho Constitution, "each
House shall (when they meet on the first
Tuesday in January in each year) elect Us
Speaker and oihrr officers" it is manifest
and clear ihat the Senator from Allegheny
had no nhadow of right to exerciso the
duties of Speaker over this new Senate
which had uever elected him its Speaker,
and wo have uever recognized him as such.
But admitting, lor the sake of argument,
that the words of the Constitution are
ambiguous and uncertain, then precedent
and usage, il they exist, must determine
their meaning, and by this test the under
signed desire that their position may be
tried.
During a period of seventy years, from
1791 until this day, there is but one other
instance whero a Speaker elected by a
former Senato attempted to exercise the
iuties of his offico orer a succeeding and
new Senato, and that was during the
'Buck Shot War," when tho lato Char
les B. Penrose, the Speaker holding over,
ntertained two motions relativo to con
tested seats; but, when these wero deter
mined, wen he vacated tho chair, and did
not daro to rcsumo it, until by tho voto ol
the new Senate, ho was elected Speaker.
If tho Republican members of tho Scuate
of 1804 can gather comfort from thi3 one
so.itary exception in tho unbroken lino of
precedents, they aro welcomo to it. The
"boldness and magnitude of their act of
usurpation has destroyed its significance as
a doed of revolution.

and, second, that Major White, if present1
would have given them a majority.
Wu havo heretofore exposed tho fallaoy
of the first position by refcrcnoo to the
words of tho Constitution, and to tho un
broken prcccncnts of seventy years. In
addition, we will present a test which will
so dearly expose tho uuwarrantablo and
unconstitional nature of their claim, that
no ono, however prejudiced, may mis-
take or misundcrstand'it. 'fl
BytheXXlll section, Article 1st, ofi'J
the Constitution of this Stato, it is provid
cd that all hills passed by tho Legislature
and presented to the Governor for his sig
nature, within tcu days of the final ad
journment, shall become laws without his
signature, uulcss sent back (with his ob
jections) within three days after their
next meeting.
In 1655 tho Legislature met on the sou
ond day of January. The contest for
Speaker was prolonged until tho fifth,
when tho lion. Win. M. Ilicster, ot Ucrks
eouuty. was elected. Upon the sixth, the
fourth day after their meeting, the Gover-
nor ot the Looimonwcalth returned, with
his objections, several of the most impor- j
taut bills passed by tho Legislature of i
1851. If the position of tho Republican '
Senators of 18G1 is correct, viz: that the
Senate is always organized, and that the
Speaker of the former Souato is tho Speak-.
er of the new Senate, then those bills of I
1854, voted by Governor Higler on the I
fourth day of the session of 1855, arc '
laws notwithstanding his vetoes, ihat
this is not so, or at least that none of the
eminent lawyers and statesmen who com- i
posed that Senato (among whom wore
Price, liuckalew, Ilicster and Darsio) so
thought, is evinced by tho fact that they '
all voted upon those vetoes as required by
tho Constitution, which thoy surely would
not have done had thoy been of opinion j
thoy had been sent in too lato. Tho Sen-
ators of 1855 did not ovon claim to have
met uutil they had elected a Speaker
must tot that they wtre organized. Our
view of this question is further strengthou-1

foil treason and stvvo tho Itopublio, tho
hour for action has arrivod. Let us, alio
prepar. 8o sajt the Pattiotty Union,
Tho Spotted Fcvor.
Wo learn, from a gcntloman who hits
spoilt sevoral days in Luzomo oo,, Pena,,
somo interesting particulars concerning tho
epidemio, popularly known as tho "spottod
fever,"' wliich has oauscd such havoo in
that region, The disoaso mado its ap
pearance in a house situated on tho high
est and airest ground in Oarbondalo, and
oarriod off threo ohildron of ono family in
a fow hours. The symptoms aro a fit of
trembling, liko a common nguo, and
nniu across tho brow. Within an hoar
red spots or blotches begin to break out
all over tho body, and a raging fovcr sets
in, accompanied by delirium. Tho dis
ease comes to its crisis in from six to ten
hours, and in most cases terminates fatally.,
All classes of society and all ages aro lia
ble to it, though tho worst of its ravages
is among the ohildron. In ono instaucc an
entire family of seven children fell vic
tims to it. Various methods of treatment
arojresorted to ; but a sure prevention, or
cure, has not been discovered. Our in-
formcnt states that a hut bath, at tho out
setofthodiBcaso, has been found to bo
onr efficacious. TllCfO is abundant cvi- '
' ,i f '
dence to show that thO spotted lever I3
not COIltagioUS, but epidemic. Beyond that,
.. . i - 1 ii . -rr in r.e -It M,
it is an enigma which tho efforts of all tho ,
physicians who have visited the county on
1" Ja"-'
missions of humanity havo failed to solve.
In this rospect, however, it is no more
mysterious than any other of the cp.idcm
io. Modern science, with all its experi
ence and lore, has not been alio to tharw
much light on the origin of these calami
tous visitations. With regard to tho 'spot
ted fever' iu Luzeruo, it has been ascer
tained that tho person in whoso house it
first broke out, had some timo previous
purchased and stored away on tho prem
ises a small quantity of seeend hand cloth
ing, some of which, it is said, had boon
used in army hospitals, Tlw seeds of tho
epidemio may have been wrapped up in
this clothing and they may not have been.
It is puroly a matter of conjecture. The
same diseato has mado its appearance in
other places, at other times (scarcely a j
year passes that it is not heard of soma-!
wherein tho country',) where no cause,
could be discovered. In Lujerno county,
it has been carefully studied by a large
number of intelligent physicians, and a
oarcful comparison of their views may de
termine the best mode of treatment, out of
the many modes that have been tried, ovon
if they canuot account philosophically for
the origin oi tho disease. Its ravages havu
been most serious at Carbondalo, where it
tmt appeared ; but it lias also bcon very
destructive in other towns and villages of
the county. The whole number of deaths
are reported at nearly -iuu. At last oc
counts it was subsiding, and it speedy
disappearance from tho uufortunato coun
ty, was confidently looked for.

Payment of the Militia.
Why is it that the patriotic militia, who
so promptly responded to the call of the
Governor during the first rebel raid into
tbis State, havo never been paid! Thou
sands of oilizens mado great pecuniary sao
rificcs on that occasion, suspended all
business operations, and it is right that
they should be remunerated. If wo mis
take not, the Legislature passed a law
making provision for tho payment of the
militia, and thousands of dollars wero ex
pended iu having tho ncocssary blanks
printed. In pursuance of orders from the
Adjutant General tho various company
rolls wero properly made out and furnish
cd to his department last summer, aud tho
militia given to understand that their pay
would bo forthcoming in a very short
time. Tho election passed by, the "sol
diers friend" was successful, and the mili
tia havo not yet been paid 1 The question
is, what became ol tho money specially ap-
propriated for that purpose !
