TO TILE PEOPLE OF PENNS YL- VANIA The Verdict iu 1804 Fellnw Citizons:—ln a short time you will again Le called upon to exercise the highest privilege and perforrn , one of the most sacred duties of Freemen. One year ago our State was deeply agitated by a conflict of opinion which was emphati cally and unmistakably settled at the bal lot box Then the public mind-was thor oughly' aroused by the warmth and ability of the contest On both sides were ar rayed men who earnestly ; and perhap, in most eai.Cs sit erely, endeavored to per suade their fellow citizens that the tri• uniph of their views was indispensable to the welfare and prosperity of the State, the peace and enjoyment of the people, and the duration and-life of the intion After a lung, contested and I lioroc i4 h canvass, the people of Pennsylvania, by more than twenty thousand, and the },cu pie of the nation, by more titan four hun dred thout-ttnd majority, rendered ihnit verdict. 'Fitt. lines wurn and the it in t Ludy and fully ni.ltio Up It is iinpw=,ih:e for any one to be mistak en as to the character of the trial or the nature of the veiLiiet. Thanks to the lit.roistn, courage and skill of American soldiers, sailors and of ficers, and to the God of battles, the war is over, our nation saved, and the goud old Republic still lives. Peace has again spread her gentle wings over our ones happy and stil beloved land. The sound of trunTets, the noise of eannun and niu.:- ketry, the head of armies, the vie:to mus cheer., of our brave soldiers, mid the sick ening gr6atis of the wounded and dyitT. are no longer heard in our borders. The nation, as in fort . oer times, come,. out of the fiery ordeal tiiiimpliant, and 1,..w re deemed and vindicated berme tin' :dam], forth III.•rc bi t m as a beacon to the down-tri.thlen - ptessed of ;d1 lauds, as a to to bt tylants of the eanh, as an a 3lum t the upioussed ul tLitions, ztloi 1. 1 1 •V. 11Ur Mid ad 'nil ution of the loves IrLe dull! evel)e.ll,•re. gro which svo were odr; ,s aLi 12.n.Av NOI till I It .1 I , a :1'()%1111 02, W:ln I poVet ty a • ',nag whwh taku the pt, the N uri UpUII I.IU ti)ed bi s:,[llgr nln i our he.

SWIM of the leaders of the Rae )11 are ',titled beneath the soil they attempt ed to deseerate.,:-Aale are fugitive, in r eign lauds, and others are swarming the National Capitol and crawliug the White Ilouse, begging pardon,( from the man whom of all others in the land they have most fiercely denounced, aml most bitterly hate. The chief of the Rebellion himself, from his prison at Fortress )len roe, surveys the ruin he has wrought a mong his own people, and silently and sulleply awaits the action of the nation he vainly, attempted to destroy, to make known to hint, in its own good time, the doom he so richly merits. f In the North we have prosperity and plenty, all the evidences of increasing power and greatness everywhere pi esenT, and the nation surely mill certainly ad vaneing more rapidly than ever befoul in the path of progress. And, notwithstand ing all the calamities and sacrifices of four years of bloody war (wade more destruc tive by the inhumanity and barbarism of our enemies), we have just welcomed to their homes more than aue million of brave men who have saved the nation and made their names immortal. The Issues of the Present Campaign. After the settlement of the issue's of 1864, so disastrously in the fie'd, aid so overwhelmingly at the ballot-box, against our adversaries, it would seem most sin ;:ular that the same questions should be aga:n presented to the people of the Key stone State: But they have selected their ground and we willingly altd gladly ac cept the challenge. At the Convention of their organization, :recently held at Harrisburg, it wee tesolVed, that • , the men and the party administering the Gov-, ernment since 1861, have betrayed their trust, Violated their sacred ,bligations, diy re•garded the commands of the fundamen tal law, coiipptly squandered the public mtiney,'pervtrfed* , the whole Governinent from its original purposes, and thereby have brought untold calamities upon the country." The measurbs of the Admin istration of Abraham Lincoln, so recent ty indorsed by so large a majority of his countrYmen.are•here foolishly•and, delydenounced by the members of .this Convention, and the people of ,Pennsylva nia are, grtiveV-asked-to,sanotion the ad, • • , 'reveres their' own judgnieni and repudiate ,: .7 - „,,,.. 1 , „.... c,, „./... .., .:D., ,it ' , , I) ti.;-:.. (E l k \ ..7 11 ~ .. `, : . ~ the verdict of the nation solemnly render ed at the ballot box The "Sic Semper Tyrannis" of the everimbe-execrated Booth, uttered as In rushed from the scene of the great crime of the age, conveys no greater insult te the memory of Abraham Lincoln, no, runs more directly counter to the feeling and sentiments of his countrymen than does this utterance of the late so-called Democratic Convention. Let the, whole army of Ireembn which marched to vie tory in 1864, under the banner of Abra ham Lincoln, be again called into th field, and march to the polls in October, 186'5, to resent the insult to his memory. Let theie be m. absentee.„ no deserters, uu wragglers, but let all the old t.o.diers, otiieersand wen, with a host of new re cruits, be on hand ready for the .tight. But our adversaries were not content to stop with this•resolution. They say 111 substance and effect that "war existed as a fact upon the advent of the successful party in - 1.0 to the seat of power;" that —slauglitt r, debt, and disgrace are the re sults of our late civil war," and that "nu inure persomi shall be murdered by will Lary eummissions.'' We had thought that it had been pretty well settled by the A merican people that the war was caused, commenced and forced upon us by the actions and conduct of traitors, and that, the election of a President according to the provisions of the Constitution and laws of the country was no cause of win whatever. We thought, too, that sue- cess, the glory, greatness and renown of our common country, the death of tree sun, slavery, State sovereignty, and the right of Secession, and not simply "debt, disgrace and slaughter:* were the results of the war. As the action of the Military Commis sion had cost only the lives of a few 91 the assass,ils of President Lincoln, and as only a low of the vilest of the Rebels were in damer Ire; similar (rids, it is nest to impossible to divine a aotive fur the hos. ttlity f the late Conventmu toward mill Loy commissions.

I=IIM The doctrines and principles of the pat. ty in P 364 have been reasserted by the Convention of 1805. It is confidently believed that they will not be desered nor abandoned by the people at the polls in October next. Condition of States Lately in Rebel lion. There exists between 'the two partici!, and indeed among persons of the same political faith, some difference of opinion in regard to the true condition and stand ing of States lately in Rebellion against the Government. It is not proposed to tfi's — cuss the point of difference, which mostly involves an answer to the ques tion, "Are • the States now, and have they been during the war, within the Union or not." if by,"the States" is meant the soil or territory embraced within their boundaries, or the space occupied by them upon the map, then we rejoice to believe ihat not ono itiel has ever yet been or ever can be taken out of the Union. But it would seem equally clear that the Go. vernruents of those States have been wholly and utterly subverted, and for four years and more have been violently . hos tile and an tagonistic to the Union. We find that on the 20th day of No vember, 1860, the Attorney-General of the United States (Judge Black) in an official opinion used 'the following lan guage :—"lf it be true that war cannot be declared, nor a system or general hozi tility eatried•on by the Central Govern. went against .a,State, then it seems•to fol low that an attempt to dose would be ipso facto an expulsion of such State from the 'Union; being treated as an alien and up enemy, she would be compelled to act ac cordingly. And if Congress shall break u p ?h e present Union by , .nnoonst it ution • ally putting strife and enmity and armed horitility betweetrdifferent sections of the ()wintry, instead of the,"domestie trans quillity which the Constitution wag meant •to insure, will not'all the States benbsolv ed front their 'Federal obligations? Is any portion , of, the_;p.apple bound to• eon trihute- their, money .or their can ry . .oa a contest like that 7; • . •' Carlisle, Pa., Friday, September 29, 1865 _ 'lf in accordance with this view "those lotrs wrreexpellerl !MM. the (M . 011 ," and if thi; / were obSolverl from. their Fed eral oldr;oot low ," it would seem to be pretty clear that they were out of the Union. • On the other side of the same question we have the same authority. At the Con vention of August 21th, 1865, Judge Black, Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, reported, among other things, he following :—'•That the States could not absolve the people from the 'r Federal obliyutions ; (h u rt the State ordinances of Secession were nullities, and, therefore, when the attempted revolution came to an end by the submission of the insur gents, the States were as much a part of the Union as they had been before." It would seem from these views that when it suited the conVenienee, the fancy or [crimps the wishes of sonic persons to have the insurrectionary States out of the Union, then they were out; and whdn it was desirable to have them back again, then they were in and had never been out ! We are sometimes told that the ordt- lances of Secession were null and void It is conceded that they were illegal and unconstitutional. So it is to commit mur der. But-you cannot restore the life of he victim by declaring the illegal act null and void. It is unlawful to steal, yet if your horse be stolen you cannot bring him back by declaring ever so ear nestly that the act is null and void. Compde that the act cf Secession was not only illegal and unconstitutional, but also null and void. Then of coarse, all that followed in pursuance thereof must be null and void. If the foundation is removed the superstructure must fall. It is matter of history, however, to every one that in those States all the judge•;, Le: , islatures and officers chosen, and all the laws pas,ed since the cumnieneetnent of the Rebellion were chosen and passed .11 pursuance of the ordin.mces of iSeeess 'on. Of course those actions arc all null ind void. Hence we find .here State:, vithout (inventors, without 1 : o•,, with 'tit Legislatures, and witii their entire uv( inu u t :,ul.verted and werthrown Being, however, a part of the soil and erritoly of the nation, it is for the It a on to prnvide R government For ilium •itil Ihel 1u IJe ficid Item the olliuu faith to the ibsue of the e tortst throu ; . : ll which they 11;ive just passed, shall pre pare and adopt for themselves a truly re publieatt form of governm nt, reetTniz• mg all the gre: t truths vindiemed and established by the blood and treasure of the na..ion. lint it matters but little s to theopin ions we may enterta:n in regard to the abstract rinestion, whether these State , Are in or out of tie Union, because it (oust be conceded on all hands, that they have been recognized as belligerents. Our political adversaries were tie first to insist that these rights should be conceded to them. Foreign nations seconded the do mand, and our Government yielded to it and treated them as such. Lest 'some one, flow that the' war is over should in• silt that they were not in the position of belligerents, let us examine what the highest legal tribunal of the country has declared upon the subject. The Supreme Court of the United States, in the prize cases recently decid ed says :—" Hence in organizing this Rebeilon they have ruled (is ..9otes claim ing to be sovereign over all persons and property within their respective limits, arid asserting a right to absolve their citizens front their allegiance to the Fed eral Govettiment." "It is no loss; unorganized insurrec• tion, having no defined boundary or pea session. It has a boundary marked by lines of i bayonets, and which can be cross ed onliby force. South of this line is enemy's territory, because it is claimed and held in possession by an organized hostile and' belligerent power." }lad there been any doubt before, this would clearly set the matter• to rest. Having enjoyed the rights of belligerents, shall they avoid the responsibilities and duties, and refuse to submit to the treat• ment of belligerents ? What are some of these liabilities ?• " The conventions and treaties made with a nation are brole.n or annulled by a war rising. between the - con - tending par ties."—Vattel. Book 3, ohap, 10, sec. 125 In discussing the same point, and af ter alluding to a former custom which required a formal deAaration of war, Phillimore, p. 662, says :—" lo \ ihe place of it has arisen the general maxim that war, ipso "facto ; abrogates treaties be-. tween the belligerents." On the same subject Chancellor Kent says As a general rule the obli i ..ations , of treaties are dissipated by - hostility." I Kent, 175. On this subject Prof.. Leiber sayS, on p. 8 All municipal law of the ground on 'Which the armies 6tand, or of the countries to•which they belong, is silent and of no effect bet Ween armies iu the S'ergean't 'Wildman (page 3) says:— " The .primary elfeCt of wv'r is to - extingu: , ish all civil: intercourse, and to place all c subjects of liclAgerents in the, condition of :enemies. This principle, extends not. only to tho natural-born; oubjeoto ) : but to aft persons do • iciled in the enemies ter ritorit s;.to all who come, to reside there with the knowledee of• the war and who having come to reside before the war, continued their residence after the Coln inencement of the hostilities for a loner time than is necessary for their conveni ent departure." For fear some one might contend that these principles do not apply in cases of civil war, we add an additional authori- UM Tn considering the question, Vatic], in his Law of Nations, on pages 421 and 425, uses this language : " When in urepublic the nation is di yid. ed into two oppoaite factions, and both sides take up arias, this iv called a civil war." The Sovereign indeed, never fails to bestow the appellation of Rrheis on all such .of his subjects as openly resist him; but when the Ist ttr have acquired a. sufficient strength to . give him effectu4l, opposition and oblige mto carry on tbe ll . war against them according to the estab lished rules, he must nece early submit to the use of the term civil war. On earth they have no corn ninn superior, thy/ slmo , lsi:,ll / in /h , s , nnr pr• 11, fee, rllO ' , nye I , "u1„1. 1"11W II) fi , ,In , 1!/0, MI id I r)I,S It is, therefbre, perfectly manifest that these late Rebels are now in the eon di 600 of, comitered, subdued beliger cuts. How „ t moo we lawfully treat, them? When the war han been unjuss.

Treatment of Rebels We have thus seen how we moil legal ly treat those lately in Rebellion against us. How should we treat them ? All will admit that we should desire to act towards them in such a way as best to promote the welfare of the people, and add most to the greatness and glory of our common country. It will depend much upon our action whether the war just closed, the most gigantic in the world's history, shall produce substantial results, or whether tne blood and treasure of the nation have been shed and expended in vain. We .must be mercifuLbut merejr_mitst...be. tempared with justice. Indiscriminate mercy to the enemy would be danger and injustice . to the nation. We must neith er seek nor ask for 'vengeance. When ever our late adversaries come in a true spirit of sorrow and repentance, sheathe the'sword and agree to obey the kw, in the future wo will extend to them the right hand of fellowship, and forgive then, fur the past After they shall have given us satis factory security for the future, by a rea• sortable probation, we will then, but it , t till.theiii:ivtore them to• the enjoyment of all the rineatiumble rights and high privileges whiclyhey, so recently; so de fiantly, and so ceaselessly trampled' unr , der their feet. rqi• defiant and ittiyield ing—gebelsifor thtise wl, o keep the Saitiri still drawn, reeking.with the blood of our brothers, ter those who 'refuse to accept and submit,: in .good faith, , ,to the results of the wart all. who -glory. in the part . they• took in the Rehellidni;and who sty ingot that they were right and the nation t t I wronv. we must have confiscation, loss of eitiz mship, and., in the end, banit,h ment or the halter. Under the law o nations, and by the laws of wir, we have a clear right to enforce tl e re::t objects or all wars—indemnity fur the past and security for the future. This i-iyht ex tends to the confi.cation of the enewy't. property after the war is over. - Even as a question of.policy and cx pediency, or upon the ground of human ity, it is by no means certain that some such measure is not required for the se eerily of the future The war is not ended until the conquered party has fairly accepted all its results. As we have e'en, we hold the late Rebel . tates by the power of war as, conquered belliger. ants. It is not only the right, but the solemn duty of the Government to hold these belligcrants in military grasp, until all shall be demanded and oh tained which may be necessary to secure the nation in the future, and render anoth er rebellion or another war impassible.— In accomplishing these ends, who could reasonably complain if' it should be found necessary to confiscate the . property of the rich, influential and active traitors. If the aristocratic element'of the South will not be taught to they the law, let ifs power and influence be taken from it by taking away its wealth. What loyal wan could object, that by means of this fund, a few of the comforts. if not the luxuries of life, should be added to the tablts of those widows throughout the land whose firesides: have been made desolate by the war, or rather by the treason which taus ed it. Who could object, that the boun ties and pensions flour soldiers, by whom the victory was won, the nation saved, should be increased, and a trifle added to the pecuniary eiciipensation so justly kill( them for the Siteriti _ies wade. Who could object, that by ine.IIS of these funds; io justly forlytted, a Luig , portion of our nit . weal debt should be paid, and thereby the taxes of all classes id our people di ininished, arid a part of the heavy kail imposed upon the shouldet- ofon . r peive by treason, thus n witted by :tea- in I, ,eit.

Extraordinait•y ell Mis are being made by our opponents to obtain the votes'of o.:r fel low-citizens recently returned from the ser vice of the country in tho army of the nation. In these efforts they should, and it is conti dentaly believed that they will fail :- 1. Because a vigorbus prosecution of the war for 'the suppression of the Rebellion has ever been urged by the Inion party of the country. 2. Because the we r hue never been sus tained or advocated by the leaders of the party opposed to the Administration. 3. Because the friends of the Union - eauso have always sustained and supported the sol diers in tlfe field, and the leaders of pretended Democracy have ridiculed and derided the soldiers of the Union, calling them " Lin coln's hirelings," robbers," „ plunderers," and other epithets unlit for repetition. 4. _Because when volunteers were called for they demanded a draft. L. Because when the draft came, they op posed the commutation clause, and declared it was a discrimination against the poor man. 6/ Because when that clause was repealed, they complained that the only hope of the poor man was gone. 7. Because they denounced the war tis a negro war, and did nothing to aid or assist in carrying it on. 8. Bexcuse they-became highly indignant when negro troops were culled, for, and threw the benefits of all their sympathies with _the South. 9. Because they opposed every measnre the Government found it necessary to adopt lor the suppression of the Rebellion. 10. Because they magnified every Rebel success, and deprecated every Union victory. 11. Because; in 1864, they declared the war a failure. ' 12. L'emuse, in 1865, they declare that the fruits of the war are "debt, disgrace, and slaughter." ` 7,3. Because they tried topreVent the ex 7 3eusiOrtLef the light of suffrage to soldiers in - ger ) vice.',Their leader's opposed it in almost every form. 'Senator Wallace, now Chair man of their State bntral Committee, said, (see Record cif 1861, pages 335, 836) "I vote aPinst.this bill upon principle as well as fur farm: It is said that so meritorious a class as 'volunteer soldiers shonlil not be disfranehis , . ed.

When the amendment of the C. ri titration was submitted to a vote of the ro i l), many of the so-called Democratic counties 'gave majorities against it, while every county in the State (and it is believed every clectionprecinet,) which gave to Ab raham Lincoln a majority of its votes, gave 'a majority in farm-1)f the amendment. 14. Their leaders almost invariably oppos e'd giving bounties to volunteers, while the friends of the Union party always sustained and supported these measures. 15.

The time was when they confidently declared that the destruction of slavery would send swarms of uegroes into our midst to drive away white laborers. Experience has shown that the few we had here ran away from slavery in the So.ltb, and that had there been no slavery there these negroes in the North would have long since moved South. They told us, too, that in case of a war, the slaves would all tight for their masters. Neither Scuthern mas ters nor their Northern allies have any faith in this doctrine now.

Importance of the Issue. NO. 39 It is not to be disguised that there is a large number of persons both at the North and at the South, who have not finally aban doned the hope of the ultimate triumph of the principles of the late Rebellion. They hope to secure by the success of their views at the ballot-box, th.o which they fi-Led to accomplish by armed force. It may depend upon the decision of Pennsylvania on the 10th of October, whether the war Shall prove at last, a Imbue—whether its fruits aro to be only •• debt, disgrace and slaughter, - or whether it is to have substantial results in the death and burial of slavery, State sov ereignty and the right of secession. It is a well-established fact that the con test was lohg protracted by reason of the hope and belief entertained by the South that (hey would receive aid and sympathy from the North. It is no* all important to the South that they should be assured that this hope is' fallacious, and that the North will adhere unfalteringly to the doctrines, prin ciples and views which carried them tri umphantly through the AMU' yours of bloody war. It 1 , hest to let them know at once and forever, that there is 110 hope for the fi nal triumph (Ir the deetrineF, and measures Gar whieh they contended in the field.
