The orators Of the Temperance Conven-
ton lay much stress on the assertion that
The purpose for which the Republican party
vns formed is accomplished. Tho Republic
can pntty was formed to prevent tho spread
Of Slavery into tho Territories. While it
was peacefully laboEinG for this object, and
had obtained control Of the governments Of
the Northern States, and finally Of the Ma
tional Government, on tt2t platform, it Was
assai1ed By rebellion in tho interests Of
slavery, which rendered it necessary to
abolish slavery and incur vast debt. Tho
Republican party Las, therefore, at least two
purposes growing ont Of the original one
for which it was formed, and which are
still unaccomplished. 1t has abolished
slavey. It has still to ex-
tend protection ores Ill classes
Mt the South urta it shall not only have
restored industry, but rendered it So nnch
ncrc peaceful, profitable, and happy under
freedom than it oTer was under slavery rs
| fully to vlndicate the wisdom Of the at,oc.
ton Of slavery, whether frum tho point Of
view Of the humanitarian, the economist, ol
the bsatcsman. The Republican party has
suppressed the pro-slayerY rebellion. Bu'
it has not get paid to the public creditor
the expense Of that undertaking. sbonlt
that be rer,uliated, tho national c7edi
would sink SO low. and the imlsossihlity o.
borrowing money in tho fntarc would bt
such m obstacle to tho national defence
that my futurc rebellion would suceect
in destroying tho Union, Iron
the mere inability Of the government t.
borrow the means necessary to preserve It
existence, Should the Republican part.
be overthrow, therefore, tho free indasH
Of tho enancipated raca ut the sout
would no longer be protected, and the NJ
: tional honor, necessary TO enable IFS TO eo1
tend against future rebe lions, would nc
\ be PRESCRIBED. On these two issues alont

The Ertning Iosf Ut this city seems to
imaglne that the movement on foot to ollst
tho sachen's Of tho Chicago Ta1nulany Hall
il directed principally against tho Slsats
ZtituHy. We know not by whnt process
Of reasoning tho Pest hos arrived at this
conclusion. II the Tammany headquarters
sso In the lSaatx Ztttung osAce the grt-
misea Of the I1st nre correct; if not, not.
It is question Of fact whether these
headquarters" arc located there or sonle-
where else. The Post is rea1 enough,
geographically, to know, and ita testimony
mny be Of SOME importance to tho public.
Nc have not attempted to point cut any
particular pnce or my particular indisid-
uni. The public know that they are men-
accd by the danger which hescts all large
c1ties, where professional politicians always
abound, and where needy and seedy
w1etchcs can always be hired to run ward
meetings anil perpetrate frauds upon the
honest voters if necessary. 1t IS fact
well known that moro votes have been cast,
or at least counted, in single ward. at n
Republican primary election, than tho
whole number Of voters in the
ward, Republicans and Democrats to-
gethcr. We do not charge this
bare-facea fraud upon the friends Of the
| present County Clerk; bnt the fact that
such transactions nro possible, and thai
there is constant temptation to perpctrate
them, suggests nay impels, the people Il
exercise constant vigilance, md see to il
that no ring or clique becomes so powcrfu
TINT they arc ablo to pnt their men int,
Office, and keep them there, in spite Of sh'
people. The public can judge whethe
this condition Of thinss-the counterpart o
that which exists in New York city-is i'm
pending in Chicago. We think it is, an
TINT the recent Legislation concerning th
appointment II our local Judges and Clerk
Of Election, and the canvnssing Of clectio
