adjourned sine die.
The utmost cordiality of feeling.and
unanimity of sentiment prevailed in the
Convention, from its organization to its
close. The delegates appeared to have
gone there knowing what was required of
them by their respective constituencies,
and with no other motive than a desire to
do justice to their expressed views and
wishes. Pennsylvania, through the action
of hor Convention, thus takes her position.
She has declared for an undivided Repub
lic, for a vigorous prosecution of the war
to an honorable and enduring peace, for
-tho vindication of the national authority

Address of the Union State Con-J
ventlon.
TOR PBE6IDENT : ABRAHAii LINCOLN.
To the People of Pennsylvania : .
In presenting the name of Abraham
Lincoln, for re election to the Presidency,
to our fejlow citizens of Pennsylvania and
of the other'loyal States, we are constrain
ed by a high, sense of what is due to the
principle involved, briefly to set forth the
reasons which impel us to this preference.
In doing so, we desir2 emphatically to
state that our ardent purpose to secure
tho re-election of the present Chief Mag
istrate of the Union is controlled by no
hasty intention to neutralize the high
claims to patriotism of other statesmen
mentioned in connection with the same
great office by the Union men- of the
country; nor to have it manifest, either,
that we are controlled by anv selfish ad
herence to a mere man, in this the hour
of a free people's struggle for.- their ex
istence. The reasons which urge us to
advocate the re-election" of Abraham Lin
coln, are such as must influence all patri
otic men in adopting measures that will
best subserve the safety and purity of the
Government, the honor and glory ot its
people, with . their speedy triumph over
the murderous combinations of a wicked
rebellion. The administration, in all its
attitudes, presents the power of the Gov
ernment iq jlU Us might and majesty.
Whatever "affects the one, must, more or
less, influence and impair the other. If
the Government should be defeated, the
overthrow ot the Administration must of
course follow. If the coaspirators, who
do the bidding of Jefferson Davis, triumph,
necessarily the brave men who obey the
summons and -enter in. the fight for the
Union, tinder the general direction of the
President, of the United States, canst also
be defeated, and as they go down, the
President ceaees to be the representative
of national power ; and as all these perish,
so, too, will all men who aro now free and
independent either be sacrificed to the
horrors of war, or be doomed to the still
greater horrors of slavery. From these
alternatives there is no escape. Our po
litical enemies have so couched their
battle cry as to render most odious those
who now represent the National authority j
while our armed foes, (the natural allies
of those opposed to us politically) have
schooled their followers in the same preju
dices. So closely are these identified,
even now it is boasted in the revolted
States as being only necessary for the
success of rebellion, that the peace Dem
ocracy should succeed in the loyal States ;
while tho peace Democracy insist, as the
basis of their success, that the rebellion
must first become a military triumph.
This is- not an assumption of our own to
make an argument against our enemies.
The history cf the whole course of the
slaveholders' rebellion corroborates it on
the one side, while the career of .those
who sympathize with treason, affirms it on
the other. Hence the necessity of so
identifying the Administration with the
Government in the coming political con
test, as to make them inseparable the
one as potential as the other invincible
against their combined enemies, North and
South. This can only be done by the re
nomination and re-election of AbraJiam
Lincoln. Until the rebellion is put down,
or "at least until its armed force and vigor
are broken, there should bo no change in
the Administration representing the Gov
ernment. Obviou3 reasons imprc3 us
with the importance ot thi3 position. A
chancre of men would involve a change of
measures : so that while the loyal States
were undergoing such a revulsion, the
States that are in rebellion would be
afforded time to gather new strength
wherewith possibly to overwhelm and
destroy the Government. Campaigns
then just projected would be immediately
countermanded to appease the rage of
partizan rivalry. Leaders fairly tried
would be reduced "in command to make
room for the ambitious, incompetent and
useless imbecile. The depreciation of the
currency, now so eagerly aimed at, would
then be speedily accomplished. The ruin
of the national credit, now treated as a
jest, would then be received as a reality,
and mocked as a deserving result. Our
diplomacy would become the channel of
conveying to the uations ot the world the
evidence of our internal broils and the
facts of our national weakness. And thus,
with Echisui where the Union .is now
strong, and antagonisms where cordiality
now prevails, the general wreck of the
Government would mark the imprudent
change in its present administration, and
the enslavement of a people who are now
free and independent, conclude the bleak
record of the nation's decline and fall.
If a nation's safety is worth a party's
noblest efforts, then indeed have we,
claiming to be the loval men of the land,
and ready to sacrifice all that is dear or
valuable, the noblest incentives to labor
for our political success, .believing, as
we do, that there is but one principle of
Bolities now animating the public heart--
and that principle involving the purity of
the government ani the treeuom ot tne
coverned our duty becomes at once piain,
forcible and binding. In the performance
of this doty, we are askd to. make no
sacrifices. On the contrary, we ate m
voked to contend against the sacrifice of
what is essentially 'necessary for the
permanency of the Government. We are
asked to harmonize our political organiza
tion and to unite on a tried and faithful
servant, in order that the contest at the
ballot-box may be a victory worthy of the
emulation of our fellow-citizens on the
battle-field, a victory which will forever
seal the doom of treason in all tnc states.
In the contest for the Presidency we have
it in our power materially to aid those
who are carrying on a struggle where
blood marks their progress and. death
hovers over the comDatants. If we suc
ceed in re-electing Abraham Lincoln, our
brothers in the field will triumph over
the armed foes of the. Government. If
we re-affirm the power of the National
Administration by endorsing the national
authorities in the re-election of Abraham
Lincoln, rebellion must cease. Nothing
is surer nothing could be more desirable.
It is not necessarry for us to go into a
history of the National Administration, in
order to make" up a claim for the re-clcc-
tion of Abraham Lincoln. With that
claim resting on the necepsities of the
Government, and endorsed by the prefer
ences of the people, any merit which the
man may have if personal virtue and
unsullied reputation, sinks into insignifi
cance. And yet the American people owe
it to themselves as well as to Abraham
Lincoln, . to acknowledge the influence
which his personal virtues hav.e exercised
on the conflict in which we are now en
gaged. That influence has more than,
once dispelled the grovelling suspicion of
demagogues, and hushed the angry jar of
faction. The firmness ot his rule has
disarmed the machinations cf the North
ern "sympathizers with Southern rebellion.
The impartiality of his official acts and
constructions, have preserved the Consti
tution he swore to support, pure ; and the
law he was pledged to enforce, inviolate :
so far as his authority extended and his
official power could be wielded. In the
firat struggle for independence, our fathers
could not have been prouder of Washing
ton, than are we, in tins our struggle tot
a more perfect independence, proud ot
Abraham Lincoln. The future will en
hance the greatness and glory which
cluster around him in the present hour.
And if we, nobly striving for equitable
principle and a free Government, can
secure the services of Abraham Lincoln in
the Presidential chair for aiiother terra,
we will be conferring the greatest possible
boon upon posterity, by securing the
eternal perpetuation of a free Government.
To this end we invoke the -co-operation of
our fellow-citizens ot this and the other
loyal States. We ask all true men to join
with us in securing, not the mere triumph
of a party, or the continuation of the rule
of a man but the success cf a principle
the vindication of a heaven-born, God
inspired right, that the life of the Repub
lic may be. prolonged, the hope of the
world once more animated, and. the down
trodden of all countries and climes filled
with joy and gladness 1
HES0LCT10XS :
HesolvcH, That the vindication of the
national honor, and the enforcement of the
national authority, against the aggressions
of a desperate and wicked conspiracy, are
the only objects which should now claim
the attention of parties and engage the
efforts of those who represent the govern
ment. Until that authority which is the
supreme law of the land is recognized in
all its borders, there cannot and dare not
be any -terms of peace' offered to traitors.
Until peace elicits unqualified and entire
submissiou to the national authority, war
must be waged while there i3 an arm left
to strike a blow, and a dollar in tin nation
al treasury to subsist a soldier.
Resolved, That we heartily endorse the
policy of the National Administration, and
the uiexins employed for the suppression of
rebellion, the punishment of traitors at
home "and abroad: a policy which, if
carried out, will end in the speedy triumph
of our arms, aud the security and perma
nency of the Government.
Resolved, That we regard the re-nomination
and election of Abraham Lincoln
to the Presidency as essential not only to
the complete overthrow of the slaveholders'
rebellion, but as necessary to the full,
organization and operation of that policy
which alone -can secure the future peace
and prosperity of a restored Union. The
purity of his character," tho liberality of
his views, the independence of his action,
and the regard which he ever manifests
for justice and right, fit him pre-eminently
for the direction of the affairs of the nation
until its authority is recognized v received
and respected in all the States of tlie
American Union.
Resolvcdj That, in response to the sen
timent of the loyal men of Pennsylvania,
and in justice to a tried and faithful pub
lic officer, the thanks of this convention
are hereby tendered. to Andrew G. Curtin,
Governor of the Commonwealth. His
manly defence of the honor and dignity
of the State, his unwavering adherence to
its credit, and his vigilant care of its
interests, have had their influence alike
upon the political character of its citizens,
and the prosperity which now marks their
trade and enterprise, and demands a
people's highest admiration and applause.
Resolved, That the alacrity with which
the Governor of Pennsylvania ha3 contrib
uted, through the aid of our fallow citizens,
tQj- tho National defence, is in keeping
with the character of loyalty ever borne
by the Keystone State.- Through the
active energy of Governor Curtin, Penn
sylvania ha had the satisfaction of know
ing that her State flag has floated in almost
every battle fought for the Union, while
no Commonwealth has given moro of its
material means in aid of tho Government
than that which the wiso and frugal
measures of Andrew G. Curtin have
enabled this State to extend to the Na
tional Government.
Resolved, That the highest rewards of
the nation are due to tho brave men who
are now in the field periling their lives in
spiracy; that we will ever hold in grateful
recollection tho memory of those who have
already perished in the fight for the
Union, and extend to those who survive
to return once-more to their homes, the
honor which their valor has fairly, won,
and the peaceful rest which their labors
so eminently deserve.
Resolved, That we thank the loyal
members of the Legislature for the steady
and persistent course with which they
have maintained .the honor and credit of
the Commonwealth, and the stern patriot
ism with which they al?o resisted the
revolutionary scheme? of the minorities in
the Senate and House. The attitude of
the majority -in both branches of the
Legislature on the interest question and
on the enfranchisement or the soldier, was
controlled alike by a regard for economy
and a determination to recognize in the
defenders of the Union citizens, deserving
the highest rank and franshise3; while
the course of general legislation has been
such at least as to deserve for the Legis
lature during the session about to close,
our frank approval.
Resolved, That the thanks of the whole
people are due to the gallant men who
are now in the lead of our armies, and
that we hold ourselves in readiness, at a
moment's warning", to second the efforts of
these to render the summer campaign
against treason the final end of the strug
gle for the peace of the country and the
full recognition of the authority of the
Government'in all the States. '
Enianclpalioii.
The correspondence between. President
Lincoln, Governor Rramlettc, and others,
growing out of the late enrollment contro
versy in Kentucky, has been published.
The following letter, by the President, is
one of the ablest productions of his pen,
and a clear and forcible exposition of the
policy governing the Administration:
ElECCTITE MASSlOX,
Washington, April i, 18G4
A. G. Hodges, Esq.. Frankfort, Ky.:
3Iy Dear Sir You ask me to put in
writing the' substance of what . I verbally
said, the other dtfy, in your presence, to
Gov. Rramlette and Senator Dixon. It
was about as follows :
I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery
is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I cannot
remember when I did not so think .nd
feel. And yet, I have never understood
that the Presidency conferred upon me an
unrestricted right to act officially upon
this judgment and feeling. It was in the
oath I took, that I would, to the best of
my ability, preserve, protect and defend
the Constitution of the United States. I
could not taker the office without taking
the oath. Nor was it my view, that I
might take an oath to get power, and then
break the oath in using the power. I un
derstood, too, that in ordinary civil admin
istration, this oath even furbade me to
practically indulge my primary abstract
judgment oa the moral question of slavery.
I had publicly declared this many times,
and in many ways. And I aver that, to
this day, I have done no official act in
mere deference to ray abstract judgmeut
and feeling on slavery.
I did understand, - however, that my
oath to preserve the Constitution to' the
best of my ability, imposed upon me the
duty of preserving, by every indispensable
means, that Government that Nation, of
which that Constitution was the organic
law. Was it possible to lose the" Nation,
and yet preserve the Constitution?
Ry general law, life and limb must De
protected ; yet often a limb must be anu
putated to save a life; but a life is never
wisely given to save a limb. I feel that
measures, otherwise wise and constitution
al, might become lawlul, by becoming
indispensable to the preservation of the
Constitution, through the preservation of
the nation. . Right or wrong, I assumed
this ground, and now avow it. I could
not feel that to the best of my ability I
had even tried to preserve the Constitution
if to ?avs slavery or any minor matter, T
should permit the wreck of Government,
Country, and Constitution, all together.
When, early in the war, General Fremont
attempted military emancipation, I forbade
it, because 7 did not then think it an
indispensable necessity. When, a little
later, Gencral Camcron, then Secretary of
V ar, suggested the arming of the blacks,
I objected, because I did not yet think it
an indispensable necessity. W hen, fctill
later, General Hunter attempted military
emancipation, I again forbade it, because
I did not yet think the indispensable
neeessitv had come.
. When, in 3Iarch, and 3Iay, and July,
lbuU, L made earnest and successive ap
peals to the Rorder States, to favor com
pensated- emancipation, I believed the
indispensable necessity for military eman
cipation, and arming tho blacks, would
Come, unless averted by that measure.
They .declined the proposition, and I was,
in my best judgment, driven to the alter
native 0? either surrendering the Union,
and, with it, the Constitution, or of laying
strong hand upon the colored element. I
chose the latter. In choosing it, I hoped
for greater gain than loss, but of this I
was not entirely confident. 3Iore than a
year of trial now shows no loss by it in our
foreign relations, nono in our home popu
lar sentiment, none in our white military
force no less by it anyhow or anywhere.
On the contrary, it shows a gain of quite
a hundred and thirty thousand soldiers,
seamen and laborers. These are palpable
facts, about which,, as facts, there cn be
no cavilling. We have the men, and we
oould not have had them without thb
measure.
And now, let any Union man. who
complains ot the measure, test himself, by
subduing the rebellion by force of arm
and in the next, that he is for takin thes'
hundred and thirty thousand men fr
ne union, siac, ana placing tbera wber
they would be, but for the measurj fc
condemns. If he cannot face his
su eiaicu, it. ouiy uvuause ue cannot fa
mo iruwi.
I add a 'word which was not in t
verbal conversation. In telling this U!
I attempt no compliment to qv
sagacity. 1 claim not to have control1.
