OUR COUNTRY, RIGHT OR WRONG!
Address of tlie Unlou State Cen
tral Committee.
To the People or Pennsylvania :
The day is rapidly approaching upon
which you will be called to choose between
rival candidates for the high offices of
Governor of the Commonwealth, and
Judge of its Supreme Judicial tribunal
To the one is. to be committed the cxecu
tive powerjf your great and noble State,
and to the other a weighty voice in decid
ing questions closely affecting your most
sacred rights cf persons and of property.
To an intelligent exercise of your right
oi sanrae, it is very necessary that you
should clearly understand the difference
between the party whose nominees are
Andrew G. Curtin and Daniel II. Agnew,
and the party whose nominees are George
. Woodward, and V alter II. Lowrie.
It is, therefore, in obedience to a custom,
1."
wise ana time-nonorea, mat you are
addressed, by the official representatives
of each organization in behalf of their
respective principle? and candidates.
It 19 not vague commonplace but solemn
truth to eay, that there never was a polit
ical contest in America whose issues were
80 important and so vital to the life of the
Republic as are those involved in the
pendiug canvass. In other days we pru
dently occupied our minds with questions
of State policy, local alike in their interest
and their influence; but to-day the citizens
of Pennsylvania ascend to the higher and
broader ground whereon the nation strug
gles for its life, and the ballots of freemen
were never more weighty
with sreat con-
sequences than those now resting in their
hands, containing, as they probably do,
not only the question of civil war at our
own homes, not ouly the fate of our Con
stitution and Union, but the destiny of
free government throughout the world.
It is a source, therefore, of profound
gratitude with all reflecting men, that,
while all the gentlemen in nomination bear
characters alike honorable and without
stain, thus entitling them to the fullest
presumption of honest motives and consci
entious convictions, yet the lines of
division are drawn with such distinctness,
the policy proposed is so plainly different,
an J the principles avowed so radically
hostile, that no man of ordinary intelligence
need hesitate in his choice.
The history of America before our civil
war began is read and known of all men.
In the years of our colonization we were
obedient to the plain purpose of God iu
reserving this continent as a, theatre
whereon the capacity of the human race
for self-government should be fully and
fairly tested; aud the men to whom was
entrusted the great experiment in civiliza
tion fitly builded their infant States upon
the principles of civil and religious liberty.
When the condition of colonial depend
ency ceased . to protect hese principles,
the scattered settlements came together in
the presence of a common danger, and in
the interest of human freedom, declared
their independence. Joseph .Warren,
proto martyr of the Revolution, writing,
insr before his death, to OuLncv. savs : "I .
j . - - y - - -
am convinced that the true spirit of liberty
was never so universally diffused through I
aUranla and conditions oj men on the face
of the earth as it now is through all North
America."
In this spirit and for this cause our
fathers endured seven weary years of un
equal warfare, and that their children to
the third and .fourth generation should
understand the purpose of the. great
struggle iu the calm peace which followed
victoiy, they solemnly engraved it above
the entrance to the sources of the funda
mental law, declaring it to be, "To secure
the blessings of liberty to the people and
to their posterity.". r
i The Government of the United States,
thus plainly established tc preserve the
liberties of its people, contained an ele
ment of weakness and discord in the
recognition ot the legal existence of sla
very. It was believed, however, that this
evil would soon disappear, and Jefferson
vied with Franklin in his efforts to secure
a result earnestly desired by all good men.
In the course of a few years it was confined
nominally, as it had long really, been, to
the States lying south of the lino of Ma
son and Dixon ; and patriots of all parties
rejoiced in the hope of its speedy and
total disappearance. j - -;.
. This reasonable hope was destined to
disappointment; In 1820, the first great
concession was; demanded by the slave
holding interest at the hands of the Na
tional Legislature, aud for the sake of
harmony. Missouri was admitted into the
Union as a slave State.; Then followed
other and greater demands ia; favor or
slavery, urged with increasing arrogance;
and notwithstanding the wonderful pros
perity which, like a benediction, attended
the North, ud the etagnation and decay
which began to cover and cling like a
curse to the lands tilled by enforced and
unpaid labor, a party, ; small in numbers
out great in the intellectual powers or its
leaders and devoted to the defence and
propagandism of American slavery, by
the free and alternate use of flattery and
threats, wrung obedience to its require-
menta from the unwilling hands of Amer
ican statesman.
Wrhat followed is a thrice-told tale.
The admission of new slave States; the
annexation of lexas; the war with Mex
ico: the consequent accession of erreat
territories in the Southwest ; the compro
mise legislation of JbaO, including the
Fugitive Slave Law; the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise the lawless inva
sion ot Kansas by the ruffians of the
Southern border, with its atteudaat
slaughter of peaceful Northern settlers ;
and the culminating efforts of the Admin
istration of Mr. Ruchanan to force by the
bayonet a pro-slavery Constitution, whose
provisions were disgraceful to civilized
human nature, upon the heroic people of
that devoted Territory. What were all
these but the successive steps in the long
and painful descent, whereby the conser-
vative, law-abiding people of the North
vainly endeavored to appease and even to
sausly the constant agressions of their
slaveholding brethren 't
Ihe political history of America for
forty years is written in this brief state
ment of concessions to slavery. ' We had
done much to please its friends. We had
surrendered, ; almost without the forms of
protest, the chief executive offices of the
nation to their keeping. They were filled
either by themselves, or by those North
ern gentlemen whom they graciously
selected for "the merit of pronmt and
unquestioning obedience to their - coin-
mauds. The judicial branch of the Gov
ernment, entrusted with the construction
of the Federal charter, and the consequent
abrogation,, when necessary, of all laws,
tate and national, was composed of
judges of their choice. The representa
tives of the nation at the Courts of Europe
had been trained with their training.
1 he conservative branch of the National
Legislature was uuquestionably under
their control.
We had parted with many plain rirhts
to satisfy them. We endured tho utter
denial of free speech, and even of unmo
lested travel in the Southern States.' We
waiver! thft Tvrnt-pft'nn nf th liVrlornl l-jtrr-
which should have covered us as with a
shield, everywhere beneath the Federal
flag, and consented to receive instead the
jurisdiction of ruffianly mobj bred and
lostered in slavery. We saw without
compunction the North made a vast hun
ting ground for fugitives from bondage.
He accepted with meekness the constant
taunts of our social and political inferior-
lty. We permitted our representatives to
be threatened with personal violence iu
the streets of the capital. We stifled our
just anu sacred wrath when a Northern
beiator, graced with all generous culture,
and bearing the commission of a free
Commonwealth, was beaten by slavehold-
ers to the verge ox death on the floor of
the Senate, for words snoken for lihertv
in debate
. . . ' , . . . J
Enduring all in patience, for
the sake of peace and union, we sat in
quiet obedience to the law, unwilling but
submissive pupils, receiving lessons of
'chivalric honor from Mr. 'Brooks, and of
chivalnc manners from Mr. Wigfall, of
loyalty from Mr. Davis, and of honesty
from Mr. lloyd.
At last, in the year of grace 18G0, the
Constitution afforded to the citizens of the
land the privilege of again expressing by
a - m m
tneir votes tneir cuoice oi national rulers.
They exercised that right, quietly, peace
ably, and iii perfect , obedience to the
form and the spirit of all our laws.
The lawful discharge of this high duty,
imposed upon au . goou men by tneir
countrv, was declared by a lew bad, boldJ
men to be just cause of civil war. This
proposition involved, of course, the start
ling doctine that Northern men must
vote in the interest of slavery, or. its
friends would appeal from the ballot to
the , bullet, destrov the Constitution, dis
solve the Union, and deluge all the land
with lis most precious blood.
It must be remembered that the Senate,
without , whose consent no law can be
enacted, was ro-&lavery. The Supreme.!
Court, against whose judgment no law, it
enacted, could avail, was pro-slavery.-
There was, ; therefore, no danger possible
to the institution : and it was simply be-
cause once in forty years the people had
lawfully chosen a President who was
believed to bo opposed . to further conces
sions to slavery, that an embittered and
indignant faction, who , had; been long
nursicg their treason,. : declared their
purpose to cause to .flow all the terrible
evils following iu the; train' of. this cruel
wr, which has wasted our substance and
place! our cbicfeft treasures beneath the
seals of clay. The utter groundlessness
of their complaints, and the want of even
a decent pretext --lor their threatened
crime against their country, was placed in
full light Jbcfore the world when Alexan
der H. Stephens spoke to the people of
Georgia those memorable words, which
history will always remember, sealing with
the seal of lasting condemnation this
wicked and causeless rebellion :
'What right has the North assailed ?
What interest of the South has been
invaded ? " Wrhat justice has been denied?
Or what claim founded on justice or right
has been withheld ? Can either of you
to-day name one governmental act of
wrong deliberately and purposely done by
the Government at Washington of which
the South has a right to complain ? I
challenge an answer!" ,
While the ablest statesmen of the South
were endeavoring with words like these to
stay the hands of traitors raised to dis-
honor our flag, to destroy our Government,
and to afflict us with the awful sufferings
or civil strife, the Uouorable George .
Woodward, then and now a Judge of the
oupreme Court ol V ennsylvania, deiiber-
ately disrobed himself of his emiine, and
walking from the Feat of judgment to the
platform of a great meeting " assembled
I in independence oquare, ground sacred
to freedom, spoke, and over and beyond
his audience to the maddened partisans
of slavery, ripe for revolt and battle, these
words of sympathy with their baseless
and pretended wrongs : "Everywhere in
the South the people are beginning to
look out for tho jiieans of self-defence.
Could it be expected that they Would be
indifferent to such scenes as have occurred ?
that they would stand idle and see such
measures concerted and carried forward
for the annihilation, sooner or later, ot
their property in slaves. Such expecta-
tions, if indulged, are not reasonable."
And these words of encouragement
exaggerating the source of strength of
which they boasted most ; "When you
combine ' all in one plowing picture of.
national prosperity, remember that cotton,
the produce of slave labor, has been one
of the indispensable elements of all this
prosperity it must be an indispensable
element in all our future prosperity. I say
it must be.
And tnese sad woras
sounding like an
invitation to treason :
"The law of self-defence includes rights
of property as well as person, and it appears
to me there must be a tune in the progress
of this conflict, if it is indeed irrepressible,
when slaveholders may lawfully fall back
on their natural rights, and employ in
defence of their property whatever means
of protection they possess or can command.
They who push on this conflict have
convinced one or more southern states
that it ha3 already come."
And these sadder words of attempted
consecration of that fearful combining of
crimes against God and all his creatures
which is called American slavery : "lhe
providence ot that good .being who has
watched over us from the beginning, and
saved us from external foes, basso ordered
our internal relations as to mase negro
slavery an incalculable blessing to us.
blessing
Whoever win sruay me
" ..... .,

The address thus delivered went forth
with the added weight of judicial sanction,
aud, aided by many others of kindred
import, produced its legitimate effect in
convincing the traitors who had Hesitated
that- a large and.influential portion of the
Northern people were heariily with them

in spirit, and onlv awaited fitting opportu-

and the opening of that great historic
drama, whose bhadow.. after two weary
years of sacrifice of treasure and of life,

consequences to the cause of American
democracy, and of Christian civilization
itself we yet very dimly comprehend.

Charles J. Biddle, their official represen-.
tative, in his recent address to the people
platform ot
nf the State, declaring "this speech to
havo been vindicated by subsequent events
as a signal ; exhibition' of statesmanlike
...
sagacity. .
The faction in ; Pennsylvania wearing
the livery of the good oldi Democratic
party to aid rebelliou waged in-tho interest
of an aristocracy of alavehol4ers? thus
openly avows its opinions, and in manifold
ways, by speech and pres by the secret
oaths of a treasonable conspiracy by
appeals to the prejudices of iguorant men
by calumnies against our brave soldiers
and sailors by denial of their rights of
suffrage, and by constant misrepresenta
tions of the aims and results of the war,
endeavors to attain its purpose of assisting
the armed traitors who are striking deadly
blows at the heart of the Republic.
Our opponents well know that the enly
strength of the rebellion consists in its
jnilitary power. Therefore, they oppose
every measure which tends to strengthen
the national armies,' and they support
every measure which tends to weaken
them. If the General Government propo
ses to require white men to render military
service, they oppose it as unconstitutional
and oppressive. If the General Govern
ment proposes to require black men to
render military service, they oppose it as
unconstitutional, and favoriug negro
equality. If tho General Government
proposes to require red men to render
military service, they oppose it 'as uncon
stitutional, and contrary to the usages of
civilized warfare; and they have thus far
failed to discover among the races ot man
kind any people whose skin is of the
proper constitutional color to permit the
Government to use them to shoot rebels
and traitors.
Our opponents denounce the arrest of
disloyal persons as violating personal lio-
erty. They denounce the suppression of
disloyal practices as indicating military
tyranny. They thwart the needed reinforce
ments of our wasted armies, and the
collection of the national revenue by base
appeals to the basest impulses of men, and
the inauguration of riot, rapine and mur
der, bringing the terrors of civil war to
our very hearthstones. Thus, by paraly
zing tho strength and vigor of the mailed
hand of the nation, they give essential aid
aud comfort to the nation's enemies. Their
cardinal principle is to embarrass the
Federal Administration in all its measures
for the vigorous prosecution of the conflict,
for the prompt suppression of the rebellion
and the swift punishment of traitors.
It is needless to say that their triumph
in the pending canvass would prolong the
war. It is confessed at Richmond that
the only relief afforded to the darkness
and disasters which enshroud the rebel
capital, and the only encouragement to
continue a hopeless contest, comes with
the occasional gleams of successes of their
Northern allies. .
On all othgr sides despair awaits them.
They see two-thirds of their territory
conquered aud held in subjection ; Now
Orleans returned to its allegiance; the
Mississippi open; all their harbors block
aded; Charleston assailed; Ilosecrans and
liurnside .moving in triumph, and the
great struggle which embraced more than
half the Union ncrrowing to Georgia,
South Carolina, and portions of North
Carolina and Virginia. The end is not
distant. It can only be delayed, and the
way , to it piled with the bodies of the
brave men who willingly taste death for
their country, by the triumph of Northern
sympathizers with treason at the approach
ing elections.. Such triumph. "would revive
the desperate and drooping fortunes of
the rebels, inspirit their demoralized and
deserting armies, and persuade their rulers
to renewed efforts to gather and hurl new
levies upon our defeudcrs in the field.
Itfollows necessarily that the triumph of
our opponents, by prolonging the war,
will render uecessary renewed conscriptions
and increase the burdens of taxation.
One way only leads to a short war and a
lasting peace, and that is the glorious
path along which Ilosecrans is marching,
and Banks, and Grant, and Meade.
Everything which tends directly or-indirectly
to weaken or embarrass these blessed
peace makers is comforting to the enemy,
inducing them to refuse submission to the
laws and to continue to waste more of our
treasure and murder others of our sons.
The future will lay the responsibility of
lengthening this horrible conflict, with
whatever of sacrifice its continuance in
volves, upon' those Northern men who
supply its want of bullets by their ballots,
and by their sympathy nerve its arm for
further blows. .
To these principles, to this policy, to
the results they so plainly involve, of a
long war, of other drafts, and of more
heavy taxes, as well as to the candidates
who represent them, the loyal mea of
Pennsjdvania are irreconcilably opposed.
Our platform is brief and plain and
comprehensive. We believe that the will
ot the people, lawfully expressed, is the
supreme law ; that no appeal can be per
m it ted from votes to bayonets, and that
when such appeal is made, ths only hope
for the Republic is to crush it by force of
arms. We therefore support the war with
out limitations or conditions," as the only
mean? of prescTYing the national integrity.

We licartily sustain Abraham Lincoln,
the President of the Uuited States, in his
efforts to suppress this wicked revolt ?

For the vigorous use of all men and all -means
peiuiitted by the usages of civilized :
nations, to reach peace through victory;
for the unequalled maintenance of the
national credit, without parallel in history
for the admirable frankness with which
the President counsels with iti nnlA:.
and for tho successes which are everywhere .
crowning our arms, the Federal Govern- ,
meut deserves and receives the gratitude
of all who love their country. , It aIoni
with the heip of Providence, can save tr-
life, of the Republic. It alone, with the ?
same aid, can preserve us as a nation.
If, therefore, anything is left undone, '
which 6ome think ought to have been
done, or anything has been done which
some think should have been left undone, .
we reserve these matters for more oppor

peace. To-day while armod rebels threat- -en
the Federal capital, and trample flag"
and law and Constitution under their feet,
we come together without distinction of",
party, in loval union, and pledge to the-'
Administration, which represents the
Government of ourfathers. our earnest and ''
unconditional support.
These are the principles and this is the'
policy of the loyal men cf Pennsylvania.
To represent it they offer to your suffrages
our present Governor, Andrew G. Curtin.
lie needs no eulogy, for he has to borne r
himself in his high office that his nameia
kcown and honored through all the land,
winning the love of all the soldiers and
the respect and confidence of a patriotic .
constituency. His great services to the
cause of the Union iu its most deadly peril,
his constant solicitude and care for the;
brave men he tent to battle, his foresight,
his energy, his faithfulness- in the dis
charge of every duty, impelled a grateful
people to disregard his declination, and
place once mere the banner of the Unioa
in his tried and trusty hands.
In the Honorable Daniel Agnew a
candidate is presented worthy of the sup--port
of all men who desire to maintain
tho high character for ripe and varied
learning, for unsuspected loyalty to the
Government, and for adherence to the:
duty of declaring, not making, the law,,
which our supreme judicial tribunal won
and wore ia other days. Judge Agnew'
is an accomplished lawyer, .is now the:
presiding judge of his district, and hU
elevatiou to the bench of the Supreme
Court will give additional security, to the
rights of persons and property. :
Freeman of Pennsylvania : The i?3ue
is thus distinctly presented in which the
single question is that of loyalty to th
Government under which you live, and
the triumph of whoso arms alone can give
you peace, and ' again open to you tho ' '
avenues to that almost miraculous prosper- .
ity which attracted the wondering gaze cf
the nations. ...
It only remains for all good men to
perfect the organizations of the friends of
the Union, to secure full di&cussions of
the questions in dispute, to bring every
loyal vote to the polls, and to use all
propei efforts in their power to secure oar
success. If this is done, Pennsylvania i
saved to the Union, and the Union is
saved to us and our posterity. v ; .
Thus we gather for the contest around
worthy bearers of a worthy standard,,
written all over with unconditional loyalty -r
and under their good leadership wo march,
forward with faith and hope of Christian-
men, to the victory which awaits the
cause of justice and of freedom.
