FELLOW oITIzEEs.-The Democratic State Central o.
mttee of Pennsylvania congratulates the people Of
sylvania and of all the States Of the Union, upon
unprecedented victory which has crowned our ,Igl
tons.
The i4th of October 1856 viii hencelorward be u,a
orable in our annals
Assailed from within by enemies Of the constitution w
from without by the assaants OF glorious eonieds
we have noby uiumphed. WA. l
Too much credit cannot be given to the manner
which our organization has been perfected and cam
out
II is impossible for language to convey the proiO
gratitude entertain for gallant and eloquent fs
from other States who have hher to assist Us in N
great struggle
But our duty is not fully discharged.
We have utterly routed the enemies OF our free iusp
tions upon the sacred soil from which the Declaration
Independence was proclaimed and upon which the cons
tuition OF the United States was adopted
In the hour of victory it is, however, well to remen
that there other obligations to be fulfilled and a
organization complete, admirable, and 50 wide
extended must still be adhered to.
The great victory have achieved has, first Of all N.
tanned our illustrous and beloved Buchanan.
Here in bis State the torrent Of fanatcism has ts
stayed.
Here, where he was born and where be has lived ls
signal purity and patriotism, he has been upheld by N
proud and generous people of Pennsylvania.
The ennobling sentiment of State pride has done mud
for us in this contest
Therefore fellow citizens perseverc in the good work
noby begun rejoice over the magnificent triumph Wi
have achieved and remember that the 4th day Of Move
bar close at hand is that day upon which you are
complete the great work yesterday auspiciousy co
menced.
Pennsylvania, the great barrier against which the ws
of sectonalism have dashed has maintained her proud
tegrity While all the New World has looked upon her
while all patriotic hearts have hoped that she would Sta,
firm in the midst of the terrible responsibility imposed
her-she has preserved noble moderation and inu
able rmness She has repealed from her presence the me-
who have been sent among her population to deceive al
betray them. a #tE1
Our people have responded to their glorious eads,
his history and to the long list Of services which
mortazed his name and from this day henceforth VI
be something to say that Psnnsylvanisn, true to
country and true to himself will not want or wait
friends among bis own fellow-citizens
The platform of the Democratic National Convende
upon which James Buchanan stands, has been vindica
the great principle of popular sovereignty advocated
every school district and township in the State dus
this fearful conflict has been vindicated and the Mp
sons upon his character have been refuted and tram
under foot
And the proud honor OF acheving inns splendid resi-
belongs the old democratic party alone, which, N
terminated vgor entered into the contest and pesev
to the end but glad to acknowledge that 1t hn
been shared by thousands of national wings who have
sisted with all their energies and who hencefors
be counted our brothers and our compatriots.
From this day till the 4th of November 1856 let
ings be held in every school district and township in
State .'" VA.
Let keep up the fire which now burns so brightly.
Let us not be deceived by the idea that the opposite
will be divided
Fused on the I4th of October, and confused by the
mendous and memorable rebuke they have received
trying to deceive the people of the State they will seek
shelter themselves by another combination In Noyembs
They are enemies to and to the constitution alike
matter what they bear or under what flag u
rally.
Those who have protested to be national have sunk a
nationality eager desire to defeat the only naOn
party in existence; and those who sectional have
tempted postpone to apologize for their secionAS
in order to win guilty victory.
Once more the Democratic State Central COMMITTEES
peals the national people Of the State to maintain &
organization, and to continue the work noby begU
until it is as noby finished the 4th day OF Novem
1885, JOHN W. FORNEY, Chairman
