THE Pennsylvania ADDRESS.

= Z
Members of the Legislature Of Pennsyl-
yania have issued an address TO President
Lincoln, urging him TO become the Union
candidate for the Presidency. We think th"t
this communication can be taken as the
symbol Of the expression Of every state anu
Territory. What Et,ie obstruction STOOD IN
the way TO prevent the reelection OF Ny
lincoln has bern rcmo.ed BY the with
arow,l NJ Secretary Chase. and the only fear
tina, now need be entertained is through the
rcrversi5n OF some available man, like Grant,
for instance. 20 be the tool and instrument
os Democrats" But we have, at present,
100 nrch confidence in the honesty and pa
,rio,ism Of this Union General to believe
that he will be hattered into such doubtful
position and company. All OF our Union
co,emp,raries speak highly of the course
pursued bv Mr.. Chase, and his acquiescence
in the action Of the Ohio Legislature in IA
'or Of Mr.. Lincoln.
The PENNSYLVANIA address to the President
contains many facts which will bear inreS'i-
CATION. Il commences BY. assuming "tnat
the policy Of your Administration WAS made
the issue in the late elections, and when It IS
Lnpwn that in the contest for the most I'M
por,ant State, as we'll as the most lnsign4f-
cant municipal Office, the issue involved al!
the essential principles Of your Administra-
ton, the result must De the more highly APP
preciated by the friends OF freedom abroad,
and cheering TO the defenders Of free
dom, the Union and the Constitution
a. nome" That such IS usually the
case. few, indeed, will attempt to gainsay !;
and that the trumpet OF the baliot-oox
aroused the ardor, and seemed to breathe
fresh valor into the hearts Of our soldiers for
the achievement Of victory on the batt!e-he!d-
Atruisn was never spoken with greater force
than in the following sentiment: In more
than TWO wears Q: struggle we have discovered
that the rebellion is continued for an OBJECT
more important than that OF redreSslng even
A reasonable wrong. Il is w&ged for the es-
adjustment Of 4 dogma and the recognition
of a barbarisJa. Il : carried on against the
Government for its absolute destruction. In
such a struggle there can be no compromise
devised TO offer. or 70 consider for acceptance.
One or other of the contendiug parties must
triumph" To make change in the Admin
istration, until its authority mas been fully
established in the revo!ted States, would be
TO give the enemies Of the Government abroad
the pretext ior asserting that the Government
had failed NJ home. $40 change the policy
now in operation 10 crush the rebellion and
restore tine land To peace, would be TO afford
the traitors in arms time to gather new
strength, il not for immediate victory. 1t least
for ultimate success in their efforts perma-
nentlv 10 dissolve the Union. Having firm
faith in the logic and reason Of these posi-
tons, we are frank in our endeavorS thus 10
urge on Won the acceptance oi reelection
10 the Presidency We believe that the poll
CIV Of your administration rendered Us yictc-
rious at our las; election, and we now insist
that that policy, If represented by yourself in
all the States, would give the victory to the
Government; in November, and thus forever
put an end to al hope Of the success Of tEea-
son."
