To the Psopis " Pennsylvansa
We are about to enter apother National
struggle, the issue oil which mnss tell deei-
sivsly for the veal or VOC of our own
country.
The so-eaIlsd Democratic party has bsen
in power for nearly eight years, and the fruite
of It's policy are now felt in q PROSTATE In
dustry, paralized Commerce, and bank
Erupt Treasury, and . steadily inreasiDg Me-
Itional Debt. %@SFs
The domestic peace and h6snony that wit
messed the restoration OF the party now in
power have been wsntonly exchanged for
sectional discord and fraternal strife and
even the sacred landmarks OF the Constitu-
| tion, have been biotted out, In the systemat-
10 effort OF the Government to spread the
blight OF Slavery over Free Territory in de-
fanos of the popular will.
Corruption has gained undisputed mastery
in almost every department CT power, and
stamped its fearful stain indellibly upon the
Government; and shameless profgacy has
given 10 National bankruptcy ut hone, and
National disho abroad.
The time has come when thorough Re-
pie. In this great work, Pennsylvania must
last degree, to the maintenance Of the Ma
tionai Union, and to the compromises OF the
Constitution, and faithful TO the Supremacy
of the laws, her people have no wsrfare to
wage upon the rights OF sister Ststos. They
viii maintain those rights inviolate with the
fidelity that they defend their own.
Our free labor IL the basis Of our wealth,
our prosperity, our greatness. 1t has trustsd
and appealed Ia vain to the party 10 power 10
protect it. Its confidence has beon betrayed,
iss interests even sacrificed. Our untold mill
lions of slumbering wealth, and our unem-
ployed and unrequited. labor are swift wit
nesses to the suicidal policy which has i'm.
poverished as.
The studied purpose Of the National Ad.
ministrAton has been to sectionalise the gov
ernment and give houndless dominion 30
system that has dishopored and lsssoned
Free Industry wherever its desultory steps
have gone.
Against this fatal ssctionalism, the frisnds
OF . diversified and prosperous industry
have protested without avail. Nothing but
a radical change Of Administration can give
reasonable promise OF respect for the great
Industrial interests Of our State, and redress
from endless evils flowing from the faithlsss-
ness Of the governments.
The Territories Of the great West TEEN
with beauty and richness. There with free
homes our sturdy sons would rear up new
empires to pour forth their bo0ndless wealth,
and add to the greatness of our boasted Re-
public. They have escaped the withsrinG blight
Of servils labor thus far only BY dsiying Shs
whole power Of two Democratic Admins
trations, and leaving history crowned with
the blood Of our brethren.
Failing 10 subdue, even BY force, the
strong arms that are there scattering the rich
fruits Of peaceful and enlightened industry,
the Constitution itself has been assailsd, and
it's sacred aims perverted, to ssosionslise the
nation. The startling declaration 10 now
made through ito oihciai opponents, that the
Constitution must defeat the wise and benef-
icent purposes Of its authors, and carry SER
vile labor, under its Own broad shield into
every Territory 10 the Onion.
To restore the government 10 its orieinsl
purity; to redeem il from its fatal hostility
to free labor; from the corruption, the prof
| legacy, and the sectionalism which have
marked the party in power, ia the aim of the
Peoples party 10 Pennsylvania.
To this patriotic end we invoke the 90 ope-
ration Of oil who desire TO join in q common
cause, to insugurate . liberal, just and faith
| ful government.
Our standard bearers ftly represent the
vital issues involved in the struggle. They
command the unbounded confidence OF
friends and respect Of foes. Even partisan
malice 10 impotent to assail them. That

dent, 10 spotless In both public and private
