the Couniry-What the ''Solid Soufh
May Lead To-Pennsyirania's Duty
in The Emergency, &c &c.
To THE PEOPLE OF PESSsrLyASIA:
The solid South only requires the
aid of a few Northern States TO reverse
the verdict of the war; to idemDlfy un-
repentant traitors for losses incurred In
rebellion against the nstiou's life; to
destroy the public credit by piunder-
ing the National Treasury, and to blast
the restored prosperity of the people
BY repeating the financial sud protect
i've legislation to which We owe the re-
vival of business. Does this overstate
the danger to which our country is at
this moment exposed! The unrestrain-
ed rule of the rebel Democracy means
RUN. The leaders of this dangerous
coali ion will never hesitate to carry
out their scher1es if the power to carry
them out can in any be grssped.
Remember this-any man who, on
the night when the whole North was
shouting over the surrender OF Lee,
had predicted that in fourteen years
the Democratic party would be IN the
msjoriry in the United States Senate
and House Of Representatives, aud
that this Democratic majority in each
House would be composed Of two rebel
officers to one Northern Democrat; that
the rebel general second in command
under Lee at Appowattox. would be q
Senator from Georgia, that the Pest
master General and the Wee President
of the Southern Confederacy would be
in the House, with more than a hun
drec rebel veterans masking laws to
govern and TO punish their coDquerors
the man then making such a predic-
tion would have been believed to be on
the road to the mad house; and yet
what would have been considered in
sane rawlings in 1865, is d:sgraceful his
tory in 1879. With this fact in re-
nenbersnce, who will dare to place a
limit to Southern arrogance and Dem
ocrati, cringings Will the salutary
laws protecting industry, will the pub
lie credit, will the Nations horor be
maintained and defended by the malig
nant enemies o. them all Shall our
heroes continue on the rolls, or will
they be forced to retire in favor of the
veterans of the rebel armies! A reb-
el Democratic restor alton in this coun
try rueans that the "lost cause" has
been regained and no sane man can
doubt this, no honest man can denv it.
The safety of our country demands the
eternal exclusion from power of that
party in which every unrepentent reb-
ell fluids cobgenial home and hearty
welcome, and finds IL there because he
remains in bis sins, aud for that reason
only.
We are admouished by the rebel
Democrats and their breret assistants
that State issues alone enter into tneir
present campaign. Tue Republicans
have nothing to avoid IN even a harsh
reTiew OF their record since 1860, IN
the conduct of State affairs. But State
issue. must wait. A mighty National
issue confronts Us. Political murder
has cemented the South into a solid
mass for whomsoevcr the rebel Democ
racy dominates hereafter on National
ticket Enough of the North IS TO be
brought to follow the lead of these as
sass;ns. And this combination of mur-
der on the one part, and fraud and brib-
cry on the other, is or trial before the
great tribunal of the American people
On this august tribunal, Pennsylvania
voice must make profound impression
ner voice struggles for utterance, and
it cannot be stified. Pennsylvania can
only speak IN the returns of the election
on November 4, and then the verdict
of the people will be recorded, whether
the rebIe Democrats will it or not, and
and while they clamOr for silence on
National issues, forced on by crimes at
which human nature stands aghast, the
whole country aDxiOusl y awaits to hear
from US, because these returns will sig
niiy our position on National issues, ard
and on these alone MAINE. CALIFORNIA,
COLORADO. Iowa and Ono have
spoken nobly. 1t remains for US, MEN
OF PENNSYLVANIA, 70 give forth no
uncertain sound on this momentous issue
1t is the duty Of every Republican and
loyal Democrat in our State TO 30 vote
that the settlement Of the war shall
stand that liberty for all shall be en-
forced; that fraud shall no longer sub
vert States that the purchase of the
Presidency shall never succeed, and
that assassination shall be forever ban
ished from amongst Us, as a political
agency. And every man who sustain
ed the Union against the rebellion is
earnestly urged to step forward now
to again defend the Union from the
same foe that assailed it from For.
Sumter to Appomattox.

Chairman Republican State Committee.
