VOLUME 3. Parties, Issues and Men. The time i» last approachiog when the people of IVnoaylvanie will l>e called upon to make their decision at the polls upon the momentous issues now in agita tion. It is *c*rcelj' conceivable thut, at tor all the discussion that has occurred, there can be much ignorance concerning the positions of political parties and men; but to aid in forming a judgment for those whose attention is engrossed by other affairs, we deem it necessary to state concisely what w understand to be the ir.o-t important poina in ihe p'nding canvass in this r mmonweaHh an i up n there we C'lifi cnlly n: ill readers if whoever]" # bias, lor a vcrdiet in iaVi i of tin i . ■ idaies and principles of ihe Urj.abiican party. We ask the attention • 112 independent and un prejudiced men to til's statement, bee.*' tt-» of ihe misrepresentations so widespread an lo the character, objects and candidate ol this great organization, and because we arc satisfied that many candid and in dependent men have heretofore suffered themselves to be misled by sheer fabr - cations and abuse launched against u• b our enemies. To all such wc beg to say that the emergencies r otherwise At the olivet, then, we may remark that, although there are other pulitie-i. i rganizations conte-t tig i he. fief the l.e puhliwan party is the only one distinctly recognizable M a well defined party, with a | rev ions record ly which to judge it. and with principles applicable to the present troubles. The peat national Democratic party, dctnoral zed by the misconduct ol its leaders, and rcudered hopeless by its course during the war, gave up the ghost tit the Philadelphia National Convention, and the nondescript organization whien takes its place has so many names ih.it no one can tell what it should be rij»htl'ully called, while its principles are only claimed by the tra iners ol its platform to be the defunct Ucpublican issues of I*o4. The He publican part points to its gluy. us achievements, the proudest ui the liWtoiy of the republic, whcrtiy the mightiest of rebellions was eru-hed an 1 slavery olditc- rued. Oil eouting into uati.innl exrcu t ve p +fr for the tiro time, it found iLe Union one wide scene of anaichy, an I i restore! order ami rendered disuui' n 111 possiple After such a work as thi." i has no special need of tacking onto itf name the words National Union. The party, by every aet of its career, is uni versally known to be identified only with 4'uiou and nationality. It is, too, the only orgauized paity in the nation really 1 devoted to ilie maintenance uf the liei— doin id' the enfranchised, the gr-at prin ciple of equality before the law, and thi still wore vithl principle of the right I the majority to govern. It is up in this basis that our candidate* l'or Congress staud ihroughout the length and hreudth of this commonwealth. The principle enunciated in the constitution al amendment submitted to the State* tor ratification by the last session of Con gress arc not controverted by any one ip tiic pending canvass, nor can 'hey lie successfully These are, briefly, that all persons born or naturalized in the .States are citizens of the republic and of the States in which they reside ; that i o State shall make or fnlorce any law wli ch ahall abridge the privileges or iuiuiunitic of citizens ot the republic; uor shall any State deprive any person of life. lib jerty or property, without due process of law, nor deny toany per>ou within its ju risdiction the equal protection of the laws; that the hasis of re ire-ien ition in Congress shall be alike J'oi all sections and all States; thit perjured uiiiit:iiy or fiivi 1 officers of the republic wli • partici pated in the rebellion shall not again be 'eligible U) Rational office without relieved ot the disability by a vote of two thirds of both Houses of Congress; that the validity of the Uuiop war uebts shall not be questioned, aud that the £ebcl war debts, claims, obligations, etc.. shall forever be illegal aud yoid. Upon such a platform as this the Republican of ought to be re elected, it is such a declaration as cannot be rejected without gr*n* injiny to the best interests of the nation.

This brave so'dier comes before the people with a most honorable record in two gte t wars, that in Mexico ami that against the southern rebellion. Into the former he went as captain, and for : his gallantry and services rose to the rank of a coli nal Into the latter he went as a colonel,and by his heroism and aeh eve inenta became a major ccim-l.

On the other hand we have Iliester Clymer, a rene gade Whig, who during the whole ol the civil war never once raised his voice to cheer on our armies struggl'ng in battle for the old flag of the Union ; who nev er once Voted iu such a way as to give aid or comfort 10 the national govern ment. or to su-tain the Union cause, though all that time he was a member of the Pennsylvania Senate We find liiin denouncing Andiew Johnson then as a I'e ie.ral hireling end mercenary, because he accepted t''° position ot Military Gov ern rot Tennessee. Wo fiud him re fusing even to let Johnson speak iu the Capitol of Pennsylvania, aud imputing to tii 111 the basest and most dishonorable motives, whereas he now, without apolo gizing for h,s words and V' te. seeks to ge: 11 i 111 ell' elected Governn by using Johnson s 111 ui' a- a '-over W< Il Lid hiui voting against allowing the soldiers in the field to vote at, the elections in which they had so great a stake. In tact we find hi in imm the beginning to the end of the war in active sympathy with the rebellion and in open hostility to the I'liion cause, so far.as speech and votes could constitute hostility. Here is the contrast— a Union soldier and hero ol ■Sherman's army against a rebel sy mpa thizer and s over of dissensiou anong our own people ouring a war in vh eh iiar mnny was so essential. C .ming next to the conle-t tor men., li s I the Mate Ltgiala'ure, we fin th tit is quite is important as the <\>u giesaional sti u.- jle. We have now be tore us a constitutional amendment, of which we have given the pith above, that requires to be ratified by two thirds of the States, and without the assent of Pennsylvania the attainment of that re ~ult is impossible. The nondescript Op position stands openly committed against ratification, .t follows the President in ail his rabid denunciations of <'i ngress, and his bitter hostility to the amend ment. Should a majority in ihe Legis lature be opposed to the Hepublhans. that anieiidmc'i e.nn t be ratified by I'cut s\lv niin, uh 'c if-the Kepablicans have a majority every man stands pledg ed to vote for ratification. Here, tli. n is a broad mid unmistakable issue, and all who favor peace and reconstruction upon a safe, legal and durable basis shoul contribute their share toward it by voting for the llepunlican candidates tor tl.e Legislature. Our opponents ad mit that this is the position of parties, and for this reason tlicy opposed the call ing of a special scssinu ot the State Leg islaturcs in the loyal States to ratify the amendment soen after its pa*»age by Con gress, as Governor Curtln proposed at the time. It should not be iorgotten, too, that at the present time the hopes of the free traders, as well as their cupidiiy, hive been aguin awakened, they are aiming, through the means of a tri uuipn of the reactiona.-ics, to overthrow the great system of protection to Amer ican industry, and to establish upon its luins British liee trade All the ernis saries of reaction clam . ag.iiust t'ongross expressly beeiiu-e it strove by judicious measures to render protection the peru a Dent bast.-ol iui taiifl policy. an.l they everywhere "avow the iutcntiou 112 over turning this au.i lowenug all the dvtiAb to a free trade standard.
