on repentance and loyalty. the demand
for The most rigid economy and honesty
in the Government, the sympathy OF the
party Of liberty we here enjoy, and the
recognition of the sublime principles Of
the DECLARATION Of Independence are
worthy of organization Oh whose banners
they are to be written in the coming
contest. It's past record cannot be blot
ted on. or forgotten. IF there had been
no Republican, party, slavery would to-
day cast its balefuI shadow over The Re-
public. If there Ind teen no Republican
party, a 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 strIck-

rebellion was unfurled, and when the
response, mo CoertiOn," was heard al
the North, we would have had no nation
to-day. But for the Republican 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 came. Without a Republican
party, the Civil Rrgh.s bill-the guaran-
ty Of equality under the law TO The hum

example Of the founders Of the Republic

The News and the Herald fiPpsntly
toss about 10 their columns the following
phrases: The loial party" "lhe high
moral party" The party founded on
moral ideas" "the party Of religious ten.
dences," as though it were a crime for
public men or a great national party to
be governed in their political action
by Loyalty to the Government,
to themselves and 10 the Supreme
Ruler of the universe. In their opinion
such trash may be overlooked or tOlera-
ted in old men, ministers and children but
for a great ruling party to recognize IN
their "code Of scIvil procedure" that
loyalty to the Nation, 10 the Union and to
the Government is commeDdable in the
citizens; that a wicked and wOnton rebel
lion commenced and prosecuted in the In
terest of Democracy may, and ought TO
be suppressed by the strong arm of the
Government; that public men should dare
10 do right and suppress the wrong; that
Republican Statesmen should insist that
this government shall be administered
upon the principles of impartial justice,
recognizing and protecting the rights of
the humblest as well as the most exalted
Of its citizens, is but to lay the party
and its leaders open to reduced contempt
and defeat. That there are electors in
his State who favor such doctrines as
these papers are constantly advocating
we are bound to believe. The NeUS and
the Herald men furnish these papers
with such intellectual diet as is most
suitable to their readers, and readers Of
newspapers PatrOnize such papers as
supply their intellectual wants. Ia this
respect there is a reciprocity Of feeling,
thought and interest between The "prOdu-
Ger and consumer" Following up this
train of thought enables the thinking
and reasoning mind to form a correct
conclusion as to the intellectual, moral
and civil status of the once proud and
progressive Democracy.
