nor its history. Amid the difficulties that
besct It, and the responsibilities and labor,
which the needs Of the country in the new
and untricd condition ot-ailGits imposes
It should remember that 1t was born OF
the nations necessities, and thus fur II has
grandly met tho exigencies for which It
WIS formed. Having passed triumph

Recurring to their origin, Republicans
will remember, when the land was tho
thcatcr Of stern and trrcprcsstble con.
flict between the demons Of Slavery and
caste and the spirit Of liberty and equality,
when the slave power held great interests
and powerful organizations IN its grasp
and ruled the nation with imperial sway,
that the founders of the party instructed
by passing events, with convictions deep.
cncd and zeal quickened by the teachings
Of history and Of holy writ and inspired
BY the deathless words Of tic patriots,
statesmen, andheroes Of our earlier time,
rose TO tho exigencies OF the hour, opposed
the hauty ambitions, the maddening pas1
sions, tho cruel preiudtces, and. the dis.
organizing theories Of the dominating mn:
ioFity, andp although long oVerbOFne'by
numbers, still struggled on amid JeelsI ~.
suits, mobs, blows, and assassinatiQns, TIL

responsibilities at once arose, Il, The slave
masters, in tue pride and arrogance O.
power, instantly plunged the nation Into
the fire and blood Of civil war. ,But1the
Republican party rose with the crisis. o IT
raised money in unstinted measure Or:
ganlzed vHst armies, created powerful
navies, fought bloody battles, crushed the
most gigantic rebellion Of all recorded his
tory, and sayedya nations; life, II was
then, amid the clash Of arms, that the Re;
publican party saw that Slavery was the
relentless and indispensable foe or the
country, was the inspiration, the heart and
soul OF that civil war, and that It's death
would be tic annihilation Of the rebellion,
the unity Of the Republic, and the develop
ment OF free institutions. Against cow
ardly fears, selfish instincts, and unreason.
ing passions and prejudices, 1t PRONOUNCED
the doom of that hideous and horrid sys'
