| feel that we have the right OF this great argu
ment. We are supported by the hope that
all good men are with u.s. Everywhere in
the free States, the same organization fol-
which we speak is supported by citizens with
out reference to former party distinctions
The Republicans have come forward to give
this Organization their sanction. The mist
distinguished and orthodox Democrats have
joined the ranks of the great army of loyal
men, and from every battlefield our brave
soldiers send US words of approval and of
thanks In Pennsylvania, the great Peoples
part have enrolled themselves in this mighty
movements Shall it fail! Will you per-
init q few discontented leaders, the relics of q
debased and guilty Administration, who are,
| in fact, more responsible for the war than
| any other class but the rebels themselves, to
sway you from your obligations to your
| country? This cannot be-ths must not be.
Every inducement invokes US to consol
date and co operate. The comfort and ne
cessties of our fellow, citizens in the field OF
war-the support Of our patriotic President
and our fearless Governor, that they may
fulfil their great trusts eficiently-and threat
ening aspect of foreign Powe-s-call upon US
TO sink all considerations before the one ab-
SorDlDg DUTY OF the hOur.
The nominees of the loyal men of Pennsyl,
vania for State officers Hon. Thomas f.
Cochran. of York county, for Auditor Gen
eral, and Hon. w. S. Ross, of Luzerne, for
Surveyor General deserve your united and
ardent support. Mr. Cochran has served
with great credit to hiulself and advantage to
the State for the last three years to the posi-
tion for which he is again presented. He is
known and esteemed for his pure personal
and upright public character, and his
high abilities and extended experience,
ere additional assurances that he is worthy of
the sufferages of the friends of the Govern
ment. General Ross has belonged to the
Democratic party, and is one of that large
and influential body of men who have for
ever broken the shakes of the slave power,
and who see in the present troubles the op
portunity to prove their independence Of those
treacherous leaders who during these trying
times, degrade the name of Democracy by
using it as cloak for sympathy with treason.
Beloved at his own home, and in a long
course of public service having earned the
confidence of the people and gathered a val
uabe experience, he is eminently fitted for
the trust that has been conferred upon him.
- To elect these gentlemen, will require the
concerted and cordial cooperation of the
lpyaI citizens of the State. 1t would be most
culpable if, with every other advantage we
shonld fail to win great victory in October
for want of an effective and extended organ
ization or if we should, by dissensions among
ourselves, on miner issues, give the victory to
our adversaries The duty of securing a strong
and able representation in Congress, to sustain
the President in his noble war policy, and to
defeat the candidates of the Breckenridge sym
pathiZers, is paramount and binding. Let us
not forget that we have also to elect Legis-
lature that is to choose United States Sena-
tor, and that in every county important Off
GERS are to be elected. If we act up to the
call and to the counsel of the State Conven-
tion from which we derive our authority, We
shall achieve great and lasting triumph. In
this struggle it is the duty of all men to fore
60 personal preference for the common cause
and he who shall refuse to respond to this SEN
timent is unequal to the awful responsibilities
of the times. To accomplish complete unity,
and to prepare for successful result, it is adj
visable that the loyal men should meet togeth,
er in their respective wards and districts fire.
quenty These are the fountains not only of
all power but, in this emergency, of all pat
riotic purpose and popular enlightenment
Armed with the weapons of truth and of love
of country, and strong in the sense of per
feet understanding among ourselves, we can
defeat all the hosts ii our adversares, and en-
courage our public servants in council and our
gallant brothers in the field of battle
