TOTHE PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA
FROM THE SOLDIERS SHE SENT INTO The FIELD.


The present seems proper and fitting
occasion for those who have borne arms in
the Nations cause, when the armed inter
ventiOn of the citizen was necessary to its
support, to give due expression to their
opinions in favor Of perfect Union and
practical administrative reform. The per
manence of the Union depends upon the
virtue and manhood of its citizens, and if
they are poweresS to redeem its govern
ment from the deadly influence Of corrup
ton, then their heroic sacrifices ia preServ-
ing it from the bolder approach of hostile
bayOnets will have been i'll vain.
We have felt that in serving the country
during the late wa and in defending its
flag fIOm the assault made upon it, we
simply discharged the duty viii ch patriot
ism imposed upon us, aad when the contest
closed, we put of the uniform Of the soldier
and reassumed the garb and position of
the private citizen. The war was waged
for the preservation of the Union and the
maintenance of Republican Institutions,
and by u resolution of Congress, sOlemnly
and unanimously put forth, it was asserted
that when these purposes were accomplish
ed 1.-The war would cease" The fruits of
victory have been fully CLEANED. The
voice Of secession has been silenced by the
thunder of a hundred battle fields the
slave has been emancipated and elevated
to the dignity of citizenship. The pay
ment of Confederate Nar Claims has been
prohibited 10y constitutional enactment,
and the flag Of the Union floats proudly
without chall .nge throughout the length
aud bI eadth of the land. The solemn obi
CATION which we took upon MS on entering
the service, that we would defend the
United States honestly and faithfully from
all enemies and Opposers whom oever"
compelS Us to rescue tne & ,vernment, to h
state ami national, from the hands of those
| who seek to destroy the instiIuJ ions for
which we fought. We re imp esSed with
/ the cOuvictiOl that our form of government
! is imperird that a crisis has been reached
/ i'll our affairs a; and that the continuance i'll
authority OF the parry IN s-DamCd lSppubli-
/ IN must lead 10 general disaster and ruin.
/ The record of It's dark past admits no ray
| Of hope for the future. That party must
! die, that republican liberty may live.
! Corruption, eXtravagaEce aud usuTpatiOn
! If Authority, the deadly enemies of popular
/ GOV ernmeu', are threatening the national
| life, aud those entrusted with the guard
lanship of all that is precious to the Amer
! lean people are holding up the caslet while
/ they are extracting The jewel. That which
was once ;he party OT the Martyred Lin
/ coin has become "A band of robbers For
/ years HAT party has lived and fattened ana
/ maintained itself in pOwe: 10y the most
/ tagTaHt viOIaliOns OF right. Greater crimes
/ have followed fast upon lesser ones, until
/ the greatest c Ime of alI-the most stupam-
/ iuuS crime of history we are governed by
| Chief Magistrate placed in tEe PlesI-
| dental Chair by open aud unblushing
1 fraud.
We see as the result of these years of
| misrule, the utter destruction of our COM
! merce, our manufactures clused. the entire
| ara yzatiOu of every industry, the cluSing
| uf every avenue of trade. Our people once
/ 50 prosperous reduced to want aud poveItv
/ and pauperism making giant S.rides thro
/ our once happy land, 4 change of rulers
! aud of party Is indeed essential if we NAV
ever hope to see again the purity of the
Early days of the Repulic and the former
| prosperity o( the people. And now for the
| purpose of giving practical effect to the
! views herein expressed, we ask you, the
! Voters of Pennsylvania, to join with us in
/ -levating to the GubeInatorial Chair of
! our grand old State. that pure Citizen aud
