ADDRESS OF.
The TJnoin State Central Committee,
To the Loyal Men of Pennsylvania.
Headquarters of the U.vio.y State Central
Committee. Commonwealth Buildings, No.
613 Chestnut street.
Fhiladelphia, August 2G, 1862.
Fellow Citizens : In times of war the po
litical organizations of peace are surrendered
or postponded to the public emergencies.
During the Revolutionary war there was no
party against Washington but the Tories or
the traitors. During the rar of 1812, the en
emies of the Administration of Mr. Madison
soon became as infamous as the foreign inva
ders themselves. The war with Mexico was
waged, as results have proved, by slavehold
iug statesmen, in order that one State more
might be addd to the number they have late
ly forced into treason ; yet the public man
who opposed it soon became unpopular, and
its victorious general was nominated lor the
Presidency by the very party that dissented
from the policy winch resulted in the war.
Theae are the eloquent teachings of the past.
We are now in a death struggle frith the most
powerful foe to human liberty on earth. This
enemy is strengthened by slavery in America,
and sustained by the monarchies of the Old
World. The issue is clearlv tn.ide the nn.
tending parties openly arrayed against each
other. There is not a nation, an individual,
or an idea opposed to human freedom that is
not enlisted against the Government and in
favor of the rebellion. We are ourselves our
only friends. Within ourselves is our only
hope. We can have no sympathy from any
other Power iu the world no sympathy that
is sincere and eflectual. The State Central
Committee, appointed bj; the Union State
Convention, composed of the loyal men of
Pennsylvania, who met tu consider what was
proper to bo dono in this crisis, have a simple
duty to perforin in this their first address.
They have only to ask whether the examples
of the two wars with Great Britain, and the
admonitions of the war with Mexico, shall be
recollected or rejected in this gloomy hour,
and whether the American people will cord i-
ally support-the Government in putting down
the rebt-llin -
The State Central Committee would impress
upon the people of Pennsylvania that the one
great subject for them to consider is the dan
ger to the Republic. There is no prejudice or
opinion that should not be postponed, and, if
necessary, sacrificed, to avert this common
peril. The Convention from which the com
mittee derived its authority acted iu this spir
it, and it is now your duty to come forward
and sustaiu the candidates that Convention
placed in nomination. We malfe this appeal
to all lo3al men. They ouly are loyal who
recognize this war as one wiged for our na
tional existence who give an ardent an 1 un
questioning support to tha Administration
who sustain all the measures of Congress for
the maintenance of the wjr-making power
who see in the Southern Confederacy, and
those who are in alliance with it, the enemies
of Civilization and Liberty and who do noth
ing to weaken the buuds of the Executive.
They are not merely disloyal who take arms
in their hands, and combine themselves into
an army. He is a rebel who abjures his alle
giance and becomes an enemy to his flag ; but
he is a traitor, who, while enjoying the pro
tection of the Government, and ostensibly
observing his pledge of allegiance, contrives
to bring dishonor and de'eat upon his coun
try. These rebels and these traitors we are
called upon to meet. We must encounter
them on the battle-field and at the ballot-box.
The ballot box is the great source of popular
power. If beaten there, our victories will be
fruitless, our sufferings unrewarded, our sac
rifices barren, and the glory and valor of our
soldiers will end in the triumph of the South
ern rebellion and a dishonerable peace.
It is unnecessary to restate the causes of
the war. Our opponents have made them the
substance of calumny and misrepresentation.
For answer, we appeal to the living history
familiar to all men. We need not remind the
people that at the basis of the Southern re
bellion there exists a hatred of Northern men
and Northern institutions of our social, po
litical and revenue systems. This has in
spired their leaders during two generations.
Wedded to an institution which has demoral
ized them in demoralizing their labor, and
cultivating the earth by an enslaved race of
men, they have made their slaves the source
their political power, and hare ruled the na
tion with the products of slave labor. The
happy hours of our national progress have for
years been embittered by their insolence. All
legislation that looked to the prosperity of
the Northern States and protection to their
industry has been opposed and defeated by
them. With the growth of Northern strength,
as the result of iree institutions and free toil,
came the possession of political power and
the gradual resistance to the encraachmeuts
of slavery. Nor need we remind the people
of the outrages that followed the efforts of
the slaveholders, to recover their unholy and
despotic dominion. The outrages npon Kan
sas; the studied insults to Northern Senators
and Representatives the ceaseless abase of
the Northern people, and the gradual concen
tration of the military and naval power In the
bands 'of. the traitors, all contemplated the
restoration of their ascendency, and enabled
them to inaugurate the treason which culmi
nated in war. Strengthened by a wicked Ad
ministration, and sustained by timid and
treacherous public men in the free States, they
were permitted to organize an armed resist
ance, and to make fearful advances, before
the Government could strike a blow in its
own defence.
The election of Mr. Lincoln to th Presi
dency, so fortunate for the country, and so
fruitful of saving consequences to the whole
people, bafflied the immediate purposes of the
conspirators.
The adversaries of Mr. Lincoln's Admiuis
tration are in nearly every case the adversa
ries of the Government. They attack the one
to weaken the other. We recognize in t he
Executive the embodiment of that authority
which can alone destroy the rebellion and
rescue tbe Republic. If the Executive arm
is paralyzed, there can be neither unity among
the people, victory for our armies, nor hope
for the preservation of the Government.
While the enen;ies of the war propose ad
hering to the form of a mere party organiza
tion, the loyal men have yielded their prefer
ences and systems, content to defer to the
day? of peace the revival of disputes 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
devotes 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
Abolition" is tbe most dangerous foe of the
public peace. We can see but ore great crim
inalbut one great enemy of the Republic
and he is now in armsagainst our countrymen
and brothers. To defeat him at once and for
ever is our first and most imperative duty.
. Tbe adversaries of the war insist that they
contend for the Union as it was, and the Con
stitution as it is. We. too, are for the Union
as it was ; but not for the return of the armed
i t-. ..ar ni uifatliliCia Willi l'ugOfj O
the places they so long occupied and so barely
deserted. And while we renew our fealty to
the Constitution as it is we also insist upon
the addition of that duty which the opponents
of the war so steadily ignore, viz: "The en
forcement of the laws," whether' these laws
are for tbe confiscation of all rebel property,
the emancipation of all slaves who aid to de
fend the flag of the Union, or the punishment
of the reckless partisans in the adhering States
who aid and comfort the rebel enemy, demor
alize the people, and paralyze the arm of the
Executive.
If, in a word, we have sympathy to bestow
it is not for the murderers of our country's
liberties, but for the defenders of those liber
ties. The gallant soldier teaches us by his
example to persevere in devotion to our coun
try. . lie oilers his life to the Republic with
uncomplaining spirit, reposes full confidence
in his superiors, sustains the Government of
the United States, and sees but one antago
nist before him the rebel who strikes at his
own heart and at the Union of these States.
We should be unworthy of the advantages of
peace and of home if we did not strive to im
itate at the billot-box an example so freely
set before us by our fellow-citizens on the
battle field.
In the fulfilment ol these grave duties, we
invoke to tbe standard of our country men of
every class and opinion. We scorn the base
ness that invokes party hate or popular prej
udice. When we behold the adopted and the
native citizen, the Democrat acd the Repub
lican fightiug side by side in the army, we are
inspired by the lesson to do likewise in the
quiet walks of civil lite. "
Loyal men of Pennsylvania, it is for yon to
determine between the friends of the Govern
ment and the war, and the opponents of both.
It is for you to declare for the sympathizers
with freedom or the sympathizers with sla
very and the rebellion. It is for you to de
cide whether you will strengthen Abraham
Lincoln or Jefferson Davis. It is for you to
say whether tbe traitors shall be crushed or
whether our free institutions shall be crushed.
There is, and there can be, no middle path
way. There are, indeed, but two parties
patriots or traitors those who are for the U
nion and those wbo 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 cannot too carefully
ponder, that the leaders of the opposition to
the Government in this State are the same,
with discreditable exceptions, who encoura
ged the policy wnich encouraged tbe traitors
to commence tbe rebellion. Their whole ef
fort since the war began has been to divide
the people of the loyal States. They announced,-
early in 1861, that Pennsylvaria
should join tbe South in the event of a sepa
ration, and this is their sreret hope to-day.
They would have held the hands of the Gov
ernment thatthe rebels might strike at its
heart, and would have succeeded but for the
prompt courage of President Lincoln. They
followed tbe fortunes of General Breckinridge
np to tbe period of his desertion Into tbe
ranks' of tbe rebels. They repeat his argu
ments in this their country's darkest hour.
Ttieir plea for the Conetitution was his plea
before he drew his sword against It. They
clamor, as he clamored, against the Aboli
tionists. Thpy deplore emancipation, even
while they deny that the most effective eman
cipationists are the slave holders themselves.
They bewail confiscation acts, while Jefferson
Dsvis 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 as thy pretend to des
pise tbe treason, they see our brave men per-,
ishing on the battle field and In hospital, from
the disease of the swamps and the bullets of
the foe, and discourage enlistments in order
that they may be relieved ; and, with prating
of a negro exodus into the free States, to ter
rify our laboring whites, denounce the em
ployment of the escaped colored men of the
South to lighten the burdens and lessen the
labors of the white defenders of the flag !
We address you, loyal brothers and friends,
In the eurnest hope that you will not desert
your country in this momentous crisis. We
feel that we have the right of this great argu
ment. We are supported by the hope that all
good men are with us. Everywhere, in tbe
free States, the same organization for which
we speak is supported by citizens without ref
erence to former party distinctions. The Re
publicans have come forward to give this or
ganization their sanction. The most distin
guished and orthodox Democrats have joined
the ranks of the great army of loyal men .and
from every battle field our brave soldiers send
us words of approval and of thanks. In Penn
sylvania, the great People's party have en
rolled themselves iu this mighty movement.
Shall it fail 7 Will you permit a few discon
tented leaders, the relics of a debased and
guilty Administration, who are, in fact, more
responsible for the war than any other class
but tbe rebels themselves, to sway you from
your obligations to your country 1 This can
not be this must not be.
Every inducement invokes us to consoli
date and co-operate. The comfort and neces
sities of our fellow-citizens in the field of war
onr teariess governor, luai tuey may iuim
.iarless
their great trusts efficiently and the threat
ening aspect of foreign Powers call upon us
to sink all considerations before the one ab
sorbing duty of the hour.
The nominees of the loyal men of Pennsyl
vania for State officers, lion. Thomas E. Coch
ran, of York county, for Auditor General, and
Hon. W. S. Ross, of Luzerne, ' for . Surveyor
General, deserve your united and ardent sup
port. Mr. Cochran has served wi'h great
credit to himself and advantage to the State
for the last three years in the position for
which he is again presented. lie is known
and esteemed for his pure and personal and
upright public character, and his high abili
ties and extended experience, and additional
assurances that he is worthy of the suffrages
of the friends of the Government. General
Ross has belonged to the Democratic party,
and is one of that large and influential body
of men w ho have forever broken the shackles
of the slave power, and who see in the present
troubles the opportunity to prove their inde
pendence of those treacherous leaders who,
during these trying times, degrade the name
of Democracy by using it as a cloak for sym
pathy w ith treason. Beloved at his own home,
and in a long course of public service having
earned tbe confidence of the people and gath
ered a valuable experience, he is eminently
fitted for the trust that has been conferred up
on him .
To elect these gentlemen, will require the
concerted and cordial co-operation of the loy
al citizens of the State. It would be most
culpable if, with every other advantage, we
should fail to win a great victory in October
for want of an effective and extended organi
zation; or if we should, by dissensions among
onrselves, on minor issues, give the victory to
our adversaries. The duty of securing a
strong and able representation in Congress, to
sustain the President in his noble war policy,
and to defeat the candidates of the Breckin
ridge sympathizers, is paramount and bind
ing. Let us not forget that we have also to
elect a Legislature that is to choose a United
States Senator, and that in every county im
portant officers are to be elected. If we act
up to tbe call and to the counsel of tbe State
Convention from which we derive our author
ity, we shall achieve a great and lasting tri
umph. In this struggle it is the duty of all
men to forego personal preferences for the
common cause; and be wbo shall refuse to
respond to this sentiment is unequal to the
awful responsibilities of tbe times. To ac
complish complete unity, and to prepare for
a successful result, it is advisable that the
loyal men should meet together in their res
pective wards and districts frequently. These
are the fountains not only of all power, but,
in this emergency, of all patriotic purpose
and popular enlightenment. Armed with the
weapons of truth and of love of country, and
strong in tbe sense of a perfect understanding
among ourselves, we can defeat all the hosts
of our adversaries, and encourage our public ;
servants in council and our gallant brotberJ-f

JEFF. DAVIS' BARBARIAN CONGRESS.
From the New York Herald.
. Men who could rebel azainst a vnvr-mmt
like our. own will not hesitate long at any sort
vi luiaiuv. ii is not surprising, therefore, to
find the desperate leadeisot the present hope
less rebellion vainly endeavoring to substitute
cruelty for strength, and devising and adopt
ing the most barbarous and atrocious measures
to bolster up their sinking cause. In his last
message Jell Davis recommends, and immedi
ately upon its assemblage tbe present rebel
Congress entertained, propositions in regard
to retaliatory warfare, which, it adopted and
carried iuto effect, will completely revolution
ize this war, and result in a most frightful and
unnecessary bloodshed. The measures to
which we refer were introduced into the bar
barian Congress by Mr. Foote commonly cal
led hangman Foote a noisy, blustering rebel
Congressman from Tennessee. Tbey provide
if rebel guerrillas, or those who harbor and as
sist rebel guerrillas, shall be punished by U
nlon officers, such Union officers shall, if cap
tured, be put to death ; that Union prisoners
shall be held as hostages for gueirillas, and
made to suffer the same fate ; that officers of
Union negrd regiments shall be hung or shot,
it captured, and the negro soldiers sold into
slavery ; and that hostages shall be taken from
among tbe Union prisoners lor, and be made
to surfer precisely the same treatment as, eve
ry rebel citizen imprisoned by our govern
ment. These bills were referred to the mili
tary committee of the rebel barbarian Con
gress, and, as they are approved by Jeff. Da
vis, will probably be passed. "
Such barbarous, brutal and inhuman mea
sures will come home, like curses, to those
who inaugurate them. As threats, they a
mount to nothing, and will deter the United
States government from no proceedings which
seem to be necessary to the restoration of the
Union. If practically carried out they will
only effect greater disasters to the rebels.with
out at all impairing the success of the Union
cause. None but men who are blind to all the
dictates of humanity could entertain such san
guinary ideas tor a moment. The simple fact
that such acts are before the rebel Congress is
equal to tne etiorts ot a dozen recruiting offi
cers here at the North. The hanging of a sin
gle Union prisoner, or the butchery of a sin
gle Union officer, by command of the, rebel
authorities, will be followed by a vengeance
as terrible as it will be speedy. Hitherto this
government has conducted the war in a most
Christian spirit. Our efforts have been devo
ted to restoring the Union, not to extermina
ting the Southern people. Our armies have
been employed in defeating armed rebels, not
in HviiHturinfr S,iiilhi-n him.lli.1.... fPl..
try has been most exemplary, and, in spite of
tbe efforts of the rebel leaders to fire the hearts
of thetr followers by lying tales of Union out
rages and atrocities, tbey well know that no
other army in the world has ever equalled that
of the United States in the kindness, justice
and forbearance with which it has respected
the homes aud protected the families of its
enemies.. We believe that tbe rebel leaders
have often profited by and imposed upon this
clemency, and we know that tbe wives of the
rebel Generals Lee and Beauregard have them
selves experienced and appreciated the mag
nanimous generosity of the Union troops.
It is no argument against this clemency that
our soldiers hang guerrillas and give bush;
whackers a short shrift. These fellows, who
are farmers by day and soldiers by night ; who
burn bridges and tear up railroad tracks; who
fire upon passing trains and murder wounded
men in ambulances; who' 8;ick peaceful villa
ges and hang aged and Inoffensive Union citi
zens, are not soldier, and will not be recog
nized as such, no matter what threats tbe reb
el barbarian Congress may fulmiuate. Tbey
are simply assassins, brigands, highwaymen
and land pirates, and should be shot down
like dogs wherever they are caught. Let
Jeff. Davis hold one of our regular officers as
a hostage for a guerilla, bushwhacker or
bridgeburner at bis own peril. Already his
crimes weigh heavy on his soul, and a few
murders more or less will not at all change
the fate to be meted out to him in this world
and the next. As to the threat against Union
negro regiments, that is a mere brulum fulrnen,
since no such regiments now exist nnder tbe
authority of tne United States government.
It will be remembered, however, that the reb
els have already organized negro regiments,
and the barbarity of the traitors is evident
when we consider that they propose to massa
cre Union officers for doing the very thing
which they have themselves authorized in
their own armies. We do Bot arm the ne
groes, simply because we ' believe that they
can do more for tbe Union in other capacities
than as soldiers, and not because of any fear
of retaliatorywarfare. It may be well for the
chief conspirators at the South to understand
these few facts plainly and distinctly. The
rebellion is now as hopeless as tbe restoration
of tbe Union is certain. : Tbe very considera
tion of retaliatory measures is an open con
fession of the weakness of the rebel cause.
If Jeff". Davis and bis crew were not mad they
would be down on their knees begging for
mercy instead of defiantly threatening retali
ation. Tbey might as well try to .avert tbe
blow of Heaven's lightning by striking off a
Inciter match as to endeavor to check the
progress of the Union arms by talking of bang
ing a few prisoners. Fools that they are,
they forfeit every chance of mercy, human or
divine, and voluntarily make themselves equal
to the most brutal savages; at the very mo
ment when the civilized world has again re
fused to recognise their independence, and
when the powerful government they have as

Scenes ok Foreign Bocsd Vessels. Some
rich scenes oceur almost daily in seaport towns,
on the departure of vessels bound to European
ports, between the police and "foreign subr
jects',' a portion of our population, which . has
wonderfully increased since the order for draft

gives the following amusing description of
what occurred in that city recently, just previ

Late on Monday night, and early on Tuesday
morning, numbers of old, infirm and decrepit
persous might have been seen wending their
way to the vessel, and a casual observer would
bave supposed that all the hilt and maimed
cripples in our city hospitals were ' about to,
be transported to the Flying Islands; where
cintches are superfluous. It; was a pitiable,
sight to witness men whose beards had been
as. blacK as a Congo contraband's the day be
fore, suddenly turned gray, not with grief, but
by the application of a magic dye; men with
stalwart forms resembled trembling "Uncle
Toms" on, the stage, and men who were so
clear-sighted as to set their way out of a scrapq
were blind as bats. When the police visited
the vessel, just as she was about to leave, they
found passengers stowed away in every concei
vable place of concealment. Some like the
renowned Henry B. Brown, who was sent np
on the underground road,, from Dixie, In a
box, labelled "glass, this side up with care,M
and rode, by mistake, most of tbe way npon
his head were neatly packed in boxes, others
were hid under piles of sails, and some were so
sick they couldn't leave heir berths. After
great care and con-iideradle searching, on the)
part of the officials, tbe cowardly fellows were
all ferreted out, and the vessel allowed to de

A Few Facts to be Remembered. We stil
find meu who claim that the great cause of the
rebellion was the fear that Slavery would bo
forcibly interfered in if tbey the South re
mained in the Union. These men do not read,

not the compelling motive of secession. Sla

The South had the control of Congress. ' They
had the Supreme Court; they bad the Dred
Scot decision, the Fugitive Slave law, and the
"guaranties of the Constitution." And every
intelligent man knows that the only reason
tbey did not have the President also was be
cause tbey preferred the elction of Lincoln so
they could hare a decent pretext for seceding:
But this is not all. Even after they bad sev
ered their conection with tbeU. States Govern
ment, laws were passed by Congress ensuring
the equality-of slavery in the Territories, aye,
and guaranteeing its safety and perpetuity in
tbe States where it already existed.- And fur-ther,-r-they
could have had the Crittenden
compromise. But their Senators who yet re
mained in Congress, left, thui spurning even
that! They did not want itpassed. And yet
with all these clear and undeniable facts before
the country there are those who, to justify tbe
South, say they were forced to secede to se
cure their rights ! It is not so. It was not from
any. apprehension of the kind. But it was be-:
cause they claimed for Soulhean gentlemen ther"
birth right of political power, and they saw
that the scepter was passing away that the. ,
increase of the Northern population under the' 1
genial and fostering influence of free socioty-V
was causing their long usurped power to a---,
sure and speedy decline. . -
Archbishop Uuguss ojf the War. This'
distinguished head of the Catholic Church in
this country has just delivered a sermon on
the War, fresh from Europe, where his pecu
liar deplomatic and ecclesiastical relations'
gave him unrivaled opportunities; to judge of
the dispositions of the great nations of the
world, his assurance that intervention into
our affairs is about the most unlikely that'
could happen is of great weight, and will
tend to remove much apprehension in the pub-"
lie mind on this subject. The remarks of .tbe
archbishop on the necessity ' of support!'
the government, of flHing up the armfept
