1t was tho Republican party that suhdned thS
rebellion. II was the Democratic party that IN
auguratcd aud carried on tho rebellion; and thai
party Ia to-day but tho political representative o
The dGllnct COnfederHcy. Tho BO'callEd Demo
cratic party processes no principles, It's only ~
peal for support 10 tho declaration Of purP9S,'
10 reverse Ill the decisions Of tho war, Wh!e1
could only DO reversed by tho same dread AtbltcE
The responsibility for tho calAmitleS OF tho rebel
lion eau never DO lifted nom tho DGmoctaut
party The very nAtnC OF that party s9V0rs Q
treason and crime. II ID impossible th1t An!
Iarty bearing that name, especially when led b.
tho leaders aud avowtng tho objects o. mat loosI
lion, eau bc again trusted by tae PSSpl,
Of this country. Only those VINO aaaotl
longer follow the ALLEN fortunes Of this beatel
remnant Of tho rebellion, called tho Demo
CAtlc party. All who accept tho results Of "
war, and desire TO SEQ the complete CSAO
Ilshment Of political equality G1s 'H IT.
Democratic party can never claim 70 DG @n'
representative and exponent OF The new idea
developed by the war. Tho Republican part!
has been tho instrument o. once Of saving "
Union and Of iHauguFntng tho now era IN its MS
tory. Having made all tho people citizens, ant
ali The citizens equal before the law, II now seek
only to maintain aud pCrpOtunto the Oencacent re
suits II has achieved.
Ina spirit Of charity, desiFlng TO close the con
tFuvcrstcS Of tho past, our party has already 70
moved many disabilities Imposed In time
public peril, as measures then Just and necessary
upon persons engaged 10 the rebellion In tn
RamC spirit and 70 the same end It has, througl
pose to relieve the same ClaSs-fEOm tho pollhca
disabilities yet resting on them, az rapidly Hs u
Constitution Of tho State will permit. ..
Il cannot no doubted that many who have no
heretofore acted with the Republican party nov
AcquIcscC In the results Of It's policy, and realtE
that the public welfare will not bc promoted b.
further attempts 10 reopen settled Issues, as pro
posed by the Democracy. There Is no rCaso
why such persons should not be In practical au
harmonious cooperation with the Rcpubllcal
party; and oil such therefore as In good mlt
abide the decisions Of tho war, desire 10 SEQ n
complete cxtInguIshmentofp political lhequalitlC
and the restoration Of al cru Of charity and goo
feeling, and arc willing 70 cooperate with I'll
Republican party 10 effect these ends, arc cordia
