written in the coming contest. Its
past record cannot be blotted out or
forgotten. IF there had been no Re-
publican party, slavery would to-day
cast its baleful shadow over the Re-
public. If there had been no Repub--
lican party, free press and free
speech would be as unknown from
the Potomac. to the Rio Grande as
ten years ago. IF the Republican
party could have been stricken from
existence when the banner Of rebel
lion was unfurled, and when the ro-
sponse of "no coercion was heard
at the North, we would have had no
nation to-day. But for the Republi-
can party daring to risk the odium
OF tax and draft laws, our flag could
not have been kept flying in the
field until the long hoped for victory
come. Without q Republican party
the Civil Rights Bill--the guarantee
of equality under the law, to the
humble and dcfcnsclcss rs well as to
the strong--would not be to day up
on our national statute book.
With such inspiration from the
past, and following the example of
the founders of the Republic, who
called the victorious General of the
Revolution to preside over the land
his triumphs had saved from its enc
mics, i cannot doubt that our labOrs
will be crowned with success and it
will be a success that shall bring re-
stored hope, confidence, prosperity
and progress South as well Ms North,
West as well as East, and, above all,
tho blessings, under Providence, Of
national concord and peace.
Very truly yours,
SCHUYLER CoLFAx.

the anno;n,ments of inspectors LOT the
snroraI warehouses of this city, according
- .ha recommendations Of the Radical
LIN We we're seriously threatened With
This thing some time ago, and it was the
canse of considerable excitement and unea-
siness: but subsequent reflection has divest-
cd 1t of much OF its terrors, without render
ins it any less obnoxious. The warehouses
are private property; the State insures no
tobacco in them, and cannot control them
any farther than in respect to the tobacco
shipped to foreign ports. This must by
law be inspected, but the fees are hardly
sufficient to afford inducement enough for
four men to give up their time to the Of
fee. Tobacco, like wheat or cotton, can
be consigned by the planter to his commits
sion merchant, who has the right togo to
the Exchange or out on the street and sell
it by sample. Inspectors are supposed to
be good judges of the quality, and their
mark gives character to the article IN
spected; but their judgment is no
better than that Of an experienced
Merchant. Either in this way or in some
other these obnoxious appointments will
be rendered harmless. The warehouses
may even be closed for season by the
proprietors, and room enough be found in
the factories to store the tobacco that may
arrive in the mean time. This would be
far preferable to having the valuable to-
bacco trade of the city broken up by the
entrance of the new officials into power
for it is not likely that any planter will
trust bis produce in the hands Of any
agent whose probity has not been fully es-
tablishcd. 5.
