bers of the Republican National Committee,
the time has arrived for consultation and pre-
hmiuarv action In regard 10 the approaching
struggle for the Presidency, and they beg,
therefore, TO call your attention to the s9sges-
tons which follow. The Republican parry
had its origin in the obvious necessity Tor
resistance To the aggresslons OF the Slave
Power. and maintaining for the States respec-
lively their reserved rights and sovereIgnties.
In the contest of 1886, by the presentation aud
advocacy OF the true science OF Government,
il laid the foundation OF a permanent political
organization, although 1t did not get possession
of the power 10 enforce lis principles. When
the result adverse 10 lis efforts and lis hopes
was declared, II unatfectedly acquieSced, CIV
ing 10 the victor, for the sake OF the country,
its best wishes for an honest and lair admin
istration OF the Government.
How far Mr.. Buchanan'S Administration
has realized these wishes, is now patent to
the world. With the Executive power OF the
Government IN his hands, his Administration
has failed IN every respect To meet The eXpec-
lationS OF the people, and has presented The
most Illuminating spectacle OF corruption, eA-
lravagance, imbecIlIy, recklessne>s, and bro
ken faith. So apparent IS this, even 10 our
opponents, that The sO-calied Democratic or
oanIzaton. always distinguished tor IT'S dISci-
pine and party fidelity, is utterly demuralIZed
and distracted, without any recognized or ac-
cepted party principle, and threatened with
disruption by the rival aspirations and struS-
giles OF It's leading parIisanS.
While the Administrator has been thus
f,itbless 10 the interests of the country and
has thus dIsorsauiZed the party which placed
:, IN mower. the Republican party has been
Ill
inv which called ii into existence. and faithful
To the fundamental principle upon which ii
was erected. Experience has only served to
strengthen the conviction Of lis absolute ne
cessItv, in the reformation of the National
Government, and Of the WIS dom ana Justice
of lis purposes and aims.
Although some of the exciting incidents Of
the election Of $50 have been partially dis
nos.i of by the cncrsy enterprise and valur
of A free people, the duty O. Republicans 10
adhere 10 their PRINCIPLES, as enuGciated at
PhIladriphia. and To labor for their establish
ment. was never more pressing than al this
moment. The attitude of the Slave Power is
persi>,ently insolent and aggressive. II de-
mands of the country much more than ii has
demanded hitherto. IL is not content with the
abs,lnle control of The National Government;
nor content with The diSnensation Of the hon
ors and emoIuments of the Administration &;
not content with It's well known influence
