The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1878-10-25
TOTHE PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA
FROM THE SOLDIERS SHE SENT INTO THE FIELD.

! The present seems a 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
mauence of the Union depends upon The
virtue and manhood of its citizens, and if
| they are pOwerlesS to redeem its govern
! meut from the deadly influence of corrup
| ton, then their heroic sacrifices i'll preserv-
/ ing il from the buder approach of hostile
! bayouets will have been i'll vain.
We have felt that in serving the country
during the late wa and in defending its
flag from the assault made upon it, we
| simply discharged the duty which patriot
! ism imposed upon us, and when the contest
! closed, we put off the uniform Of the soldier
| and reassnmed 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 a resolution of Congress, solemuly
! and unanimously put fOIth, it was asserted
that when these purposes were accomplish
/ ed ''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 W ar 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 cook upon MS on entering
the service, THAT we would defend the
United States honestly and faithfully from
all enemies aud oppOsers whom oever,'
compeIs Us to rescue ,ne 'vernment, to h
state AMI national, from the hands of those
who seek to destroy the institutions for
which fought. We are imp essed with
the conviction mat our form of government
is imperied that a crisis has been reached
III our affairs and that the continuance in
authority OF the party s-namc1 Hepubli-
, Cln must lead 10 general disaster and ruin.
The record of lis dark past admits no ray
Of hope for the future. That party must
die, that republican liberty may live.
! Corruption, exIravagance aud uSuTpatiun
IF authority, the deadly enemies of ponulaT
GOV ernmeu', are threatening the national
life, aud those entrusted with the guard
IanshIp of all that is precious to the Amer
ican people are holding up the caSkeJ while
they are extracting the jewel That which
was once ;he party OF the Martyred Lin
coin has become a band of robbers. For
years HAT party has lived and fattened anG
maintained itself in power 10y the most
| iiagrant vioIalions oflight. Greater crimes
have followed fast upon lesser ones, until
| the greatest cl Tme of all-Ihe most StupIr-
| touS crime of history we are governed by
Chief Magistrate placed in tEe Presi-
/ dental Chair by open aud unblushing
| fraud.
u We see as the result of these wears of
' misTule, the utter destruction of our COM
{ Fnerce, our manufactures closed, the entire
! il ara yzatiOu of every industry, the closing
: hJI every avenue of trade. Our people once
ku prosperous reduced To want and povertv,
i land pauperism making giant rides thro'
iour once happy land, \ change of rulers
= land of party is indeed essential if we may
= ever hope to see again the purity of the
= h'arly days of the Repulic and the former
4. prosperity of the people. And now for the
4 purpose of giving practical effect To the
i iFIews herein eXpI essed, we ask you, the
ii oters of Pennsy sylvania, to join with us in
4 slevating to the GubeInatorial Chair of
II 9ur grand old State, that pure Citizen aud
4 aied Statesman, ANDREW IL. Dill.
