ADDRESS
OF THE
DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

To the People of Pennsylvania
An important election is at hand, and the
issues involved in it may now claim your
attention. The tide of war has been rolled
back from our borders and with thanks TO
God, and gratitude 10 the skill ami vaIor
which, by his favor, achieved the prompt
deliverance OF our invaded Commonwealth,
we may now give our solemn consideration
TO the causes that have brought to its pres
ent condition a country once peaceful, uni
ted and secure. 1t is now the scene of a
great civil war, between States that lately
ministered TO each others prosperity in a
Union founded for their common good. 1t
was this Union that gave them peace at
home and respect abroad. They coped
successfully with Great Britain. on the
ocean, and the tsdoctriHe" uttered 6y Presi-
dent Monroe warned off the monarchs of
Europe from the whole American continent.
Now, France carves out of it an empire,
and ships built in England plumber our
commerce on every sea. A great public
debt and conscription burden the people.
The strength and wealth of the nation are
turned from productive industry and con-
sumed in the destructive arts of war. Our
victories all fail to win peace. Throughout
the land, arbitrary power encroacheis upon
civil liberty.
What has brought the disastrous change
No natural causes embroiled the North and
the South. Their interchangeable products
and commodities, and variods Institutions,
were sources of reciprocal benefit, and ex-
cluded competition and strife. But an arti-
fetal cause of dissension was found in the
position OF the African race; and the ascend
ency in the national councils of men pledg-
ed to an aggressive and unconstitutional
Abolition policy, has brought our country
TO the condition of ''the house divided
against itself" The danger to the Union
began where statesmen had foreseen it it
began in the triumph of sectional party,
founded on principles of revolutionary hos
iilty to the Constitution and the laws. TIE
leaders of this party were pledged 10 con-
fict with rights recognized and sheltered
by the Constitution. They called this con-
f1ict ssirrepressible;n and whenever one
party is determined 10 attack what another
is determined TO defend, conflict can all
WAYS be made .sirrepressible." They count
ed on an easy triumph through the aid of
iusurgent slaves, and, in this reliance, were
careless how soon they provoked Il coIlis-
