Address Of the Union state Gem
trail Committee.

To the People Of PsnnsylOdnid:
In the midst of fierce conflict for the
national life-responding to calls for large
reinforcements to enable our armies sue
cessfully to combat with traitors-cheer-
fully meeting the payment of extraoroi-
nary taxation to supply the government
with money TO conduct the war, and sub
hitting to an immense increase in the
prices of living, the people of Pennsylvania
have nevertheless been able for three
years TO maintain prosperity, and secure
healthy operation In all the branches OF
their trade, unprecedented in the annals
Of any country while engaged in the pros
ecutfon Of war. In the trials of this
bloody war, with the struggle just reach
ing its climax, the people OF Pennsylvania
suddenly find themselves involved in a
political contest invested with the highest
Importance, because fraught with the most
momentous issues. Ordinarily, heretofore,
political contests meant only choice Of
policy as to the manner of administering
the government. The struggle of parties
was for the possession of the powers of
government, and merely to control their
operation. Now, however, our political
contests have resolved themselves into
direct and positive issue for the safety
and the permanence of the government;
because politically as well as sectionally,
the contest at the 5allot-box and in the
battlefield must decide whether the Union
shall exist or perish with the triumph or
defeat of one or the other of the contend
ing parties. Hence the unwonted impor-
tance with which our political campaigns
are now invested Parties are now divi-
ded on issues which vitally concern the
government. They are composed Of
friends and enemies of that government
To choose between these parties equally
interests the cause of loyalty and that of
treason. No man can stand neutral be-
tween the two, and all who are not fairly
for the government will be justly recog-
nized as its enemy. Admitting that such
is the new importance assumed by our
political contests, we have an excuse as
we'll as a justification for entering on the
contest fast approaching, for the amend
ments to the Constitution, with all the
zeal in our nature and all the devotion
that should characterize the patriot and
the lover of his country in his effort to
serve it.
1t would seem that on an amendment to
the Constitution granting the soldier
right to vote, there should be no division.
Among free people, particularly, who
are admitted always to be the most intel
ligent, such a right should be SO we'll
grounded in common and statute law, as
to need no action at this late day for. its
exercise and vlndication. The soldier, In
all lands, like among civilized and oarbaric
nations, has ever been admitted to the

at home are too full of gratitude for re-
turn of great service by CALLING neglect
Our faith in the justice of the people
renders us confident in the establishment
and vindication of the political rights of
the soldier. But that faith must be ac-
companied by works. Hence it becomes
the duty of the State Central Committee
to urge on the friends of the soldier ac-
lively to labor for the triumph of this
effort In his behalf. Let it be said of our
fellow-citizens now absent as soldiers, that
as our victorious armies planted their
banners IL the capital Of treason, it was
beneath their folds in Richmond each
hero of the Keystone State exercised the
freeinan's right of the elective franchise
for President to administer the Govern
ment to a reunited Union, to States once
more loyal, to people again at peace and
blessed with prosperity.

February 24, 1864, is amended so as to

Nothing contained in this act is to be-
construed to alter or in any way to affect

Richmond Markets.

We clip the following from late re-
port of the Richmond markets:
Potatoes--We notice the arrival Of
peck from near the Dismal Swamps. No
sales. An old contraband, who lives on
the South side Of James river, is said TO
have a quarter of an acre This keeps
the market depressed.
Dry Goods-Sales of ten cotton hand
kerchiefs by Todd, Dupuy & Co, at SO
OPS endorsed notes six months.
Cotton-The arrival Of one bale from
the coast, per mule back, threw the city
into confusion. Such an accumulation of
the precious staple in Richmond, it was
thought, would attract the cupidity of the
Northern mercenaries, and precipitate an
attack before the military defencGs wers
completed The Provost Marshal sent
the cotton back at the expense of tho
owner.
Tobacco-Universal scarcity in Virgin
la leaf. Four plugs were sold on Change,
on Saturday last, to parties who wished to
send to Atlanta. a good sale has sprung
up in old guilds. They are collected by
the blacks, put up neatly in tin foil, and
sold to new beginners. The price ranges

ed. The third chewing is made up into
snuff.
Whisky--This necessary article is going
down every day, though not in price. The
figure now for common sized drink is
S14,75; to wet your tongue, $40; to smell
the cork, si,75; to look at the bottle,
Sl,17, and 81 cents to say whisky aloud.
There was charge made of 20 cents for
passing saloon,' but tie tax has been
removed by the Legislature. A pint of
the fluid was bought by wealthy planter
carly in September 1t cost him steam
boat load of Confederate notes, four mig
gers and hogshead of sugar. This seems
almost incredible.

Ren- There is a tree near the present
quarters of Sherman's army, called tho
.'fatal tree" Eight men were shot, one
after another, as soon as they advanced to
the fatal tree to take secure position
behind its huge trunk. Seven men were
shot, when a board was placed there with
the word Dangerous" chalked upon it.
The rebels shot the guide-board into frag-
ments, and a sergeant unsuspectingly
took his place behind the tree Iu less

the sergeant's body, and he fell the

tree of death.

THE CRY is MAC, MY DAKL1NG'

AIK-"Oh My Nora Creina, dear"
Mac, my darling, proud am
To hear that you've been nominated;
Last we met at Antietam,
Where you the rebel might abated.
In the seven days fight stood
Beside you on the hills and meadows,
And while onr brave bows poured their blood
We know your heart was tnroDolllg WIN US!
Oh, my captain. dear ana true,
The coward tongues that would ignore
Are base as fase--thank heaven they're few
Yoyr soldiers trust you and adore you.
Abe NAV crack his jolly jokes,
Der bloody fields of stricken battle
While vet the ehbing life-tide smokes
From men that die like butchercd cattle.
He. e'er yet the guns grew cold,
To pimps and pets may crack his stories:
Your name is of the grander mold,
And linked with all our brightest glores
Oh my general, dear and true,
The living tongues that would defame you
Are base as talse-thank heaven they're few
For as our chosen Chief we claim you.
They say-these dogs of currish heart,
Who never heard bullet whistle
You'd let the Union drift apart
Like down flakes from shaken thistle:
They say, oh captain-but the words
Stick in our thrOats-we can't digest EN-
But lift to Heaven our dinted swords
And answer only this: 1--WE trust him."
Yes, oh friend of right and laws,
Despite the sneers of fool or craven,
Where hearts beat highest for the cause,
You have your home, your shrine and
haven!
With patient toll and plying breast
You sought your soldiers blood to treasure
Nor ever tried the cruel test,
How much we could endure to measure;
They feared you, for they saw our love;
To win success they would not let you, -
But while the white stars shine above,
The boys you led will neer forget you!
Yes. oh captain, loved and true,
Desert you've would perish rather:
Thank Heaven the hearts are not q few
That call you brother, friend and father!

The brave Krettel rushed to the door,
