the usurpations and reasonable designs
of the accident President, is bearing good
fruit. 1t is opening the eyes of the south
ern people to their true position, and has
resulted in overwhelming Union victories.
The hybrid Copperjohnson party has lit
tie on which to boast. The policy of the
great republican party has been vindicated
and given an assurance ofa complete tri-
umph in November next. The violent
| language that has characterized the Sc
cession papers both north and south, and
the bombastic menaces and boastings that
| has burdened their columns, has proved but
an empty vaunting, the fruits of A.
Johnson's treachery, making fearful ac-
| count to be settled at the bar of his own
conscience, and of the loyal men of the ma
| ton. The Union victories at the South
and in the North are effectual shoppers 10
the sham policy of the evil-minded man,
who stepped into the presidential chair
| from the pistol of the assassin. From
| present appearances, his career is short
his day of authority is drawing nigh unto
an end-and the future looks cloudless with
the bright rays of sunshine full upon US,
happier and better people. The people
have suffered long and patiently the evils
of this poor old man. Deposed and retired
to Tennessee, peace and harmony may pre-
vail throughout the land.
The Republican party have had and
still have mighty work upon their hands.
1t nobly bore through the contest the en-
blems of our nation unsullied by the hand
of traitors, and by it granted political
equality -afording to the colored race the
| protection due to all members Of the hu-
man family by all governments. Within
the last two years it has reduced taxation
to the rate absolutely necessary to meet
the expenses of the government, notwith-
standing we have an army not yet quite
reduced to the peace standard, and with
the salaries Of all officers bearing the in
| crease incident to the imitation of the cur
rency. The party has shown itself pro-
gressive, advancing with the wants and
necessities of the times, and in its strug-
giles for the best interests Of the country,
must and will be literally sustained by the
people. r. (, J..r;..i..
| tits evident that the republicans have
only to stand by their colors, to secure
great and lasting victory. Having passed
safely through the political storms of the
last six years s,and in that time advanced the
great issues to successful end they need
now, more than ever to look well to their
laurels, and guard against the eneroach-
mcnts of the copperhead party, which this
day assumes the repudiating, Pendleton
plan of success, and is now inserting its
fangs only for the spoils of office and the
lust for of gold and silver-a party that
advances the cause of rebellion, assumes
to be the guardian of traitors-that denies
the right of the black man to vote, and
pretends for the constitution more than
admiration, by which it would ride into
power.
Republicans, Dy the victories already
inscribed on your banners, and by the
memories of the martyred Lincoln and the
prestige of the great victories thus far
gained, let US invoke you to a united ac
tion-to organize for the coming strife and
to defend the rights Of your fellow men
with will worthy great party, in behalf
ofUnion and Freedom, God and Humanity
