rho Republican Address.

Enc hcpuDIiCan auureSS.
We,print in other columns the address
of the Congressional Committee, Of which
Senator Wilson is Chairman, to the Re
publioans of the country, and ask for 1t
the careful perusal of all our readers. 1t
is written in very graphic style, but
ia fair and faithful account, in general
terms, of the past record of the Repub-
lican party, of the services it has render
cd the country and mankind, the reforms
inaugurated, and of its present attitude
in respect to the question of the day.
Upon questions. of general policy, it is
in accord with the liberal spirit OF the
age, its members everywhere being char
acterized by principles through which the
world would be made better, the power
of liberty augmented, the love of progress
fostered, despotism and injustice defeated.
Ii we consider the manner in which it has
treated the practical questions of the
times we shall see that it has maintained
and benefited the national credit, greatly

ished taxation, established economy in
administration, made the solution of not
q few difficult problems practicable and
marked out the way whereby the republic
may proceed to renewed prosperity, and
the accomplishment of great and glori-
Gus destiny.
And if all this were not enough to en-.
title the party to the favorable judgment
of the people, we have but to consider the
position of its political com Blatant to per.
oeive that the maintenance of Republican
ascendency is a necessity. The prin'
oiplos Of the Democratic party are
the worn,out sentiments of dead and
buried generations; excuses for despotic
and unjust systems defenses of every.
thing that Expresses mankind attacks
upon everything that would elevate, bene-
fit, and dignity human nature. Its prac'
tices, wherever it has obtained power, are
practices demonstrating the complete de-
moralizati on and incurable corruption Of
the party.
Such, in general description, being the
difference between the two antagonistiC
political organizations of this country, il
is the plain duty of patriotic citizens to
sustain the Republican party, reforming
it where it needs reform, and making il
the means of comforting great and lasting
blessings upon the republic.
