brethren in arms on land and ssa, the

defenders, wherever they may be, the
right ofsuffrage inestimable privilege
of freeman.

efforts to suppress this wicked revolt

For the vigorous use of all men and all
means permitted by the usages of civilized
nations, to reach peace through victory;
tor the unequalled maintenance of the
national credit, without parallel in history
tor the admirable frankness with which
the President counsels with the people,,
and for the successes which are everywhere
crowning our arms, the Federal Govern
ment deserves and receives the gratitude
OF all who love their country. 1t alone,
with the help of Providence, can save tx
life OF the Republic. 1t alone, with the
same aid, can preserve us as nation
1t, therefore, anything is left undone,
which some think ought to have been
done, or anything has been done which

cause of the Union in its most deadly peril,

which our supreme judicial tribunal won
and wore in other days. Judge Agnew
is an accomplished lawyer, is now the
presiding judge Of his district, and his
elevation to the bench of the Supreme
Court will give additional security to the

Freeman Of Pennsylvania The issue
