Address of the Democratic State Committee
DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE }
Rooms, 82S WALNUT STREET.
PHILADELPHIA, August 20 &c.
To the people Of Pennsylvania:
The issnes of the canvass are made Cd.
The restoration of the Union and the
preservation of your form of government
are the 7ital questions that now confront
you.
Secession is dead, but disunion still lives.
Slavery is extinct, but fanaticlsm survives.
Tie rights of the white man are submerg-
ed in efforts to elevate the negro, and the
black man is sought to be made con-
trolling element in the politics of the Re
public.
Capitalization seeks to rear its despotic
power upon the ruins of the Constitution.
and foreshadows a war of races for its ac
complishment.
Prescription and disfranchisement usurp
the places Of magnanimity and cIemency.
and discord and hate combat Christian
charity and national concord
Congress refuses to nourish the resources
necessary for payment of the debt of the
Republic, and loads with taxation the in
dustria interests of the North. Congress
sional extravaganza is the rule; economy
in public affairs, the exception.
A Convention of representative men
from each Of the United States has met
within the past week they have forecast
the future, agreed in sentiment, and dis
persed to their homes.
Their work has passed into history: to
the impartial mind .bat work is a perfect
answer to the charge that the South is not
ready for restoration.
Composed of men of every section, hold
ing every shade of political opinion, they
have re'enunciated the eternal principles
that lie at the base of our institutions, have
renewed their vows of fealty and of broth
erhood, and have joined hands in an united
effort to restore the Union and preserve the
government created by the Constitution.
No man need err in this contest:
Support Congress and you sustain dis
union, attack your government, and elc-
vate the negro at the expense Of yonr own
race.
Support the President and YOU restore
the Union, preserve your government, and
protect the white man.
On the one side are Stevens, Sumner,
agitation and disunion.
On the other, The President. the Union,
peace and order.
BY order of Democratic State Commit
tee. WILLIAM A. WALLACE.
Chairman.
PADIcAL DoxoLoGY.-We understand
that the sacred radical caucusses at Wash
ington invariably close with the following
fragrant and appropriate Doxology, long
metre
From Africa the negro came.
Stand up good Stevens bless the day,
He is the object of our love
In him we live, in him we move,
For him we preach, for him we pray,
