shouldGfacefully acknowledge its pc.
litical death, and allow their organiza-

on the success Of which alone it could
hope to retain the confidence Of the
people. It's individuul members are
cordially invited TO examine, free
from old party bias the difficult ques-
tons growing out o., our success but
in doing so, they ought to remember
that they acknowledged themselves
whipped a year ago, and ought to be
very modest now; and especiallythey
ought not 10 seek to appropriate the

,adrift every prominent leader Of their
party, and, as / believe, by abandon
ing thcir name, which has become
dishonored by the rebellion. On these
conditions they might form a healthy

based on it. may be useful. But it
can never relieve itself from tho stain
of turning against their country in the
midst Of war. 81 ai s.." .a .'.'g ' .'.
