PENNSYL VANIA.

The Wing State Central Committee have just issued
brief and orcble Address from which extract those
paragraphs which refer the Nebraska and Whisky Issues
They are follows:
Had the public mind been allowed 10 enjoy the repOse
which less than two years ago, existed throughout the
land or had spirit OF fOrbearance been manifested by
tbore who have the most to invoke it, the contest
which agitaes the country would have been averted
The passage of the Nebraska bill By Congress at the in
of the Administration and through its undsgulsed
influence and the repeal in express terms Of AN ancient
statute, pightng the nations word OF honor that the
Western territory to be forever exempt from Slavery
and the domestic slave trade compel the Wing party OF
the North and especially the Wing party of Pennsylvania
break the silence they might otherwise have kept and
speak out again in language not to be misunderstood,
their ancient ond fixed opinions.
o the doctrines of the act of $780, which relieved
by Constitutional means from grieyous social evil-to
the great Ordinance of 1884, in its full scope and all its
benefcen principlesto aresoute determination TO effect
the aboue and entire repeal of the aggressive portions of
the Nebraska bto the protection of the personal rights
Of every human being under the Constitution of Pennsy
vania and the Constitution OF the United States by main
tanning nvoae the trial by jury and the writ OF habeas
corputO the assertion of the due rights of the States of
the North well of e South and to the integrity of
the Union, never much endangered as when wanton
wrong is nicted-to these principles the Wing party OF
Pennsylvania and its candidates solemny pledged.
On this strong ground they content to stand and to
the support OF these principles we invite the cooperation
OF every freeman in Pennsylvania.
The Congress OF the United States about 10 dis
perse and the Administration of the General Government
have, in the passage of the Nebraska BILL the only
OF the interests of the nation and especially OF Penn
syvania made this single issue, and ON it, TIL the viii of
the people shall decide it, content to meet them.
II is not issue that have made II is forced upon
u.s. ard we meet il calmly and resolutey.
Athe next State election coincidently with the choice
of public officers, the people of Pennsylvania will be
called 10 decide question OF moral influence and
interest On that question, affecting every home and
freside, the Committee not called to say
than H. too has been forced upon the people by the abuse
aud prostitution OF existing laws and systems by which for
year has been derived from crime and misery
from the Of the wives and children of the land and
the deso!atOn OF the homes of industryand by pro-
ress OF decentralization which has at last startled the
public mind and aroused il the necessity of extreme
remedies. Laws palliative at least of this evil and de-
signed 10 stay this progress Of crime, at this moment
in the hands OF the Executive and will not receive his
approval The question is finally before the people
and the Whg candidate for Governor has frankly sad that
to their decision through their representatives, he viii
gladly give effect"
