RE-OEGAEIzATIoN OF PARTIEs.o- This
idea Is Just now being very generally discussed
But the discussion is conducted in such general
terms, that it is quite difficult to understand
what is meant BY il. One Of the leading adVo-
Gates Of Re-Organization" expresses itself
willing to forego the idea that " Americans
shall rule America if the Republicans will
cease to insist that % Freedom is National and
Slavery Sectional" We can conceive it Dos
sible that, without abandoning any vital prin-
elple, The former idea may be ignored. Be-
cause il Is impossible that the time shall ever
come when only men Of native birth shall ex-
ercise the elective franchise in this country.
The most radical " American" advocates no
such principle. The adoption of the twenty
one year rule would not effect it and that is
the extreme restriction which any one suggests
But the surrender Of the idea that " Freedoss
IS NGfi0Bal and Slausry Sectional" ls quite an
other matter. That idea, and the action which
It suggests, can seeer be abandoned. its aban-
donmeut would be the abandonment of every
principle which gives life to the Republican
party. Ii is vital; and it is in consonance with
the teachings and principles Of the Fathers Of
the Republic Tne opposite doetrine-that
slavery follows the Constitution, and has a
legal existence wherever that instrument is re-
cogniEed--is q heresy as incompatible with
as Monarchy itself. No Re-
publican can abandon that idea, or strike it's
formal enunciation from his creed. IL to do
SO, is prerequisite to the propopOsed 50 Re-
Organization OF Parlies,o then no Republican
can participate in the movement.
Bat while one journal contents itself with
insisting that the dogma that g Freedom is Ma
tionsl and Slavery Sectional" shall be aban-
doned, co-laborsr in the work Of " Re-Or-
ganizing Parties " goes a step further, and in-
sists also upon the abandonment Of the name
and organization Of the Republican party.
This idea is equally imprscticable. Com
bined, there would result party OF embodied
weakness, whose ephemeral and pusrile history
would imPart the dignity Of strength and per
Petuity to its most imbecile predecessors.
There is, however, process by which there
may be an effective aud an honorable " Rs-Or-
ganization Of Parties. The Republican party
has always permitted the +" lstch-string7 to
g hang outside the door" None are precluded
from sdmittance; all are invited, and invited,
too, upon an equal footing with all who
have gone in before them. Ia all non-essen-
tals, it comedies and inculcates the largest lib
erty. Saeh " Reorganization Of Parties" ID
To attempt any other would be
futile and degrading.
This, therefore, is the conclusion Of the
whole matter. The abandonment Of the vita
principle Of the Republican party, with iti
name and its organization, to effect a coalition
with any other parties, would result at ono,
in degradation and defeat. Afew leaders nigh
submit to such humiliation, but the rank anI
fle-neveT- The organization, essential prin
ciples, and name Of the Republican party mus
constitute the nucleus Of any " Re Organiza
ton" If they shall, something effective ma
be honorably accomplished, and pro-slaverl
Democracy wiped cut Of existence in 1860.
