Gubernatorial-No 3.

Editors Democrat 4 Star:
GsETLEskS The nomination OF each
political party for Governor in The person
of heir res lective candidates, having been
before the People now over a month, it is
proper 10 pesume, that the Guoernatoral
question, viii for the next four months, be
the ope ol ALI absorbing interest with the
Electors of Penusyl vania.
Hiesler C1ymer, will be supported BY ev>
cry true Union Eiector in this Common
wealth John w Geary, is the candidate
of the Disunon pany, oad as such, he
will be supported. This is the position Of
the parties, and he who attempts to deny
the fact, is mora kuave than fool.
The duty OF The Democracy is plain in
the premises. ltisto wage an aggressive
warfare upon lhei' ancient euemies--the
enemies OF Law, Liberty and the Conslilu-
lion. And in doing this, we-the Democ
racy-change no ground, assume no new
position, but charge home upon that radi-
cal, ianalicaI parry the ruin OF our country,
the death OF III odsauds and thousands of
our people and continued purpose TO
again 'deluge the land with blood"
Arguments are useless, TO establish this
fact. 1t is 50 paieot 10 every intelligent
man 10 the land, that be who denies The
isspe, wifulIy sins against ,ruth and
know edge. ''Forewarned is forearmed."
| want to see every Democra, armed and
EQUIPPED for The campaign. 1t will be
long and fierce contest, and he who wavers
in duty IS unworthy the boon of a FRge-
MAN Remember, lhe "price of Liberty is
eternal Vigilance"
Now, ny fellow citizens, ought we no;
at once to organize! TO arm for the con-
test! Determined TO engage the enemy
as did orr iarhers IN the Jackson contest;
when The Democratic Camp Fires iilumna-
ted every county in Pennsylvania. Let it
5e done again. Suslaia President JoHN-
SON as he susiains The Union. Aud in his
course, we are only re-esiabIi>hing for our
children, the heritage bequeathed 10 US by
revolutionary sires.

Another Veto M Message- Success
to the tresident.

As we anticipated from It's passage, the
Presiden. has reiurned, with his objections,
10 The house in " hich it originated, the so
called Civil Rights BIZ. which was lately
presented 10 him for his signature. The
Presidep, has strengthened his position in
measurably by this veto of The enormous,
odous and unconstitutional Bill. OF course
it will Intensity the Disunionis.s and Negro
worshipiag faction against him, bnt that is
10 be considered point gained. The coun
try will honor the President for his firm
ness, and sustain him in putting bis heel
upon This worst Of foul measures which this
reasonable Congress has halched. Does
any sane man doubt that this oniTageoCs
Civil Rights Bill, was not especially designed
TO exasperaie the SouIh-degrade the white
race and elevate The negro al his expense
Can any man OF sound mind imagine Tor a
moment that this bill was moi intended TO
wipe out State Rights and State legislation,
and effect ia the end central desPousm
with a fair chance for such eoccaed mad
men as Samner, Wilson and Stevens 10
wrsak their long expressed vengeance on
the heads Of the southern people 7 1t is a
self evident truth, that in this effort, as in
many others, the insane Representatives OF
a faction. b. usurpation Of powers, not con-
siituiionalIy theirs, attempted once more 10
make laws for the whole country. God
bless Andrew Johnson for ais manly pairi-
otic and determined course against The de-
sKoyess Of American liberty. Read his laie
veto message in this issue.

Address Of the Democratic State
Central Committee.

DEMOCRATIC STATE Com. Rooms.
HARRIsBURG, Pa; March 27 1865.
To tie people Of Pennsylvania.
A civic contest, laden with grave re-
suits, has just been entered upon.
The great political organizations of the
State have announced their platforms
and presented to you their candidates.
The Democracy distinctly avow their
purpose to restore the Union aud to main
tain the superiority Of the white man.
Their opponents refuse to restore the
Union, treat with silent contempt the pol
icy OF the President, and again attempt
to deceive you in regard to negro suf-
rage.
The restoration of the Union is an is
sue embracing and overshadowing all
others.
IF It be postponed, and agitation con-
tinued, you will deny that the war was
"a war for the Union;" you will shake
your form Of government to its very base;
jeopardize the security of your national
debt incur the hazlrd of financial revul-
sion; fetier the development of your in
dustrial resources; make desert of the
fairest portion Of the republic. and aid in
elevating the negro a. the expense of the
white man.
The period of reaction after great ma
tional exertion is oftener fatal to free in
stitutions than the severest rhroes of civ
il warfare, and radical disunionists sieze
that hour to consolidate four govern-
ment by amending the Constitution, and
to perpetuate their power through the
political equality of the negro.
Prolonged agitation or prompt rcstor-
alton are the alternatives presented.
MEN OF THE KEYSTONE:
Look back upoa your history. and in
the light of that retrospect determine
whether you will be led to your ruin by
a reckless disturber of tha peace OF your
Commonwealth, or will follow the Presi-
dent BY the paths ofth Constitution to
the haven of peace, order and securi-
ty.
The Democracy present to you, with
pride, their candidate for Governor a
Pennsylvania by birth, Of revolutionary
family pure, honest, capable; possessed
of large experience, and gifted with the
rarest qualities Of the head and of the
heart. No man need blush to follow
where HESTER CLYMER leads the
way.
DEMOCRATS OF PENNsYLvAHIA.
Axis reH, your candidate ViH be
sustained, trifling personalities gice'
rcay before the onward march Of great
principles. Be assured If success, and
labor TO deserve IL.
By order of the Democratic State
Committee.
