Republicans of Ne,o Harmony
What you accomplished in 1856 is but
an earnest of what will be done in 1900
Our confidence is mistaken in the final tri-
umph of our cause. Perseverance and or
ganization are absolutely essential in a con-
aict with error and wrong these with untir-
ing activity, are the elements of success in
all great revolutions. To accomplish the
great end of Repubhcanism, the triumph of
Truth over error, of Freedom over Slavery,
we must organize T; be true to the cause of
freedom and toll. There was nothing in
the cause of our defeat in 1856, that should
for moment dishearten our hopes, or re-
lax our efforts, but much to encourage
Think of New England, the birthplace of
American liberty, the seat ofrefnement and
New York, the center, of the wealth and
commerce of the nation, with nearly half a
million ofvotes against our opponents ;and
add to them Massachusetts, Ohio, " scon-
sin, Iowa, Michigan, and numerous other
States, with majorities of accumulated
thousands upon thousands in favor of Free
dom, and what sane man can for moment
awaits Abraham Lincoln in Octobernext.5
Our opponents are no longer the advocates
of the rights of man, but the champions of
the rights of property in man. They Will
hold little longer the reins of govern
ment acquired by violence and fraud, but, they
never can take from man the rights with
which the laws of nature has invested him.
There is a strength in noble, self-sacri-
icing disinterestedness, fighting in the
cause of Freedom, that cannot be overcome
All the great moral forces of Nature are
working increasingly on the side of right.
The cause of Freedom is. the cause of God
and cannot fail of ultimate accomplishment
The Republican party must and Will prev all.
But we must labor with. some, concert of
action we must organise. Every town
and township or neighborhood should have
its Lincoln Club, gathering into its folds
every man who cherishes the principles of
Republicanism and incuIcating light and
knowledge among the people, Our. school
system has done much of hate years, for
wherever men read, Republicanism prospers.
Scatter thedocuments. The childrenof our
country friends can generally read, if their
parents cannot, and among those W no can
not read, let us go to them, reason with them,
convince them. Very many well-meaning,
excellent men, have had theirSminds poi
soned againstpsby thegrossest Inisrepresent-
atoms, and vote against the Republican
party, fully impressed by Designing dema-
gogues, that they are sustaining by their
votes the principles of the old Democratic
party. -ao-, 1t-- q AJS5S ~
Let US make them thoroughly understand
why they are no longer the same Democratic
party, which existed up to 1854; the nature
OF and course taken by the Democrats on
the Homestead Bill; tSe origin Of slavery
agitation, and all resulting from the repeal
OF the Compromise act of 1920; thee self
evident Intentions of the Democratic party,
&C., &c, and no doubt but thousands will
flock to the standard Of Republicanisnl aud
vote for Lincoln and Hamlin. ,r e.
