THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY

Senator Morton of Indiana has been
striking telling blows for the republican
party in the compaign in his State. In
recent speech he spoke of the party as
follows:
said the Republican party is the great la
Dor party of the country, and SO it is. An
other thing: it is the great reform party of
this country. We have made the greatest re-
forms that ever were made, and shall continue
to make them; but we only do one big thing
at time. People that undertake to do every
thing at once. nearly always fail to do any
thing. You can see how we have adyan ced
step by step until the country is brought to its
yreseut eSndi6oa. There are other great re-
forms to be accomplished, and the Republican
party is the party To do it. tell my friends
If they want reform Ia stay with that party
that has made reforms, and that is imbued
with ths spirit of reform now. Somehow OF
other, whenever man fails 70 get an Office
that he wants, he is very apt to become a re-
former. He discovers all al once that he is
taxed 70 death. 1t may turn ont upon inqui-
~ that be never paid dollar poll tax in
his life, he becomes all at once grieyously OPP
pressed and afflicted by taxation. The Repub-
licari party cannot give all its honorable mem
beers Offices, nor one in Thousand Of them.
The party was not created for the purpose OF
creating Offices, but was created for the BEN
eft Of the nation, and whenever Il ceases to

be for the benefit of the natioh 1t should be
dissolved, Noparty should live an hour longer
And Whenever the Republican party becomes
corrupt and demoralized, and ceases to be a
feform party, it is high time for it to give way
to some other party; not the Democrauc
party-oh no, but for some new party that
will come with reform in its hands, and those
things that failed to do.
The old saying is, praise the bridge that
carries you safely over" Stand by the party
that saved the country in the dark hours of
the rebellion-that abolished slavery. Stand
by the party that will restore stability and solid
business foundations; the party that has Civ
en- to this country prosperity and glory 1t
has never had before. Stand by the Repub-
lican party.
The Republican party has not performed
its mission-not until the work of reconstruc-
ton is completed. Now we have admitted
all the States. Georgia has been admitted;
she has taken her place once more in the
Union; she has been admitted upon correct
principles, upon principles that l commended
for throughout this session of Congress, and
for the advocacy of which l received some
censure. The work of reconstruction is per-
feet and complete as far as that is concern
ed, but there is much to do yet in the South
ern States. There is deep feeling OF hos
tility to Union men on the part Of rebels yet
and especially to the colorcd men that have
been enfranchised. We have got to care
care of those people. We are bound to take
care of the Union men of the South and we
will do it. The Republican party is commit
ed to that in honor; to the payment OF the
national debt, and the preservation OF the
credit of the nation; and for other reasons
might mention, but have not time, the Re-
publican party should be preserved.

THE WAR IN THE ELECTION.

The Maine Standard inquiries if the late
war is IAN issue in the approaching cleo
ton" We believe the candidate of the
democrats for Governor is styled General,
and they say he has military record,
though brief one, which they have para
ded with considerable ostentation. Indeed
We think the principal recommendation
they. undertake to give him is his go
ing down to Richmond and back again
with McClellans army. If this is not
bringing the war into the election what is
st.? And what party but the democrats
did it? Having brought it in in this en-
phatic manner at their State convention,
we think democrats have little reason to
whine about the war being brought into
the election. We think it was very bad
policy on their part to do so, but having
done the foolish thing it only makes it
worse to sniyel about bringing the war
into the election.

ton in the public debt has been, as above
shown, $l69, 542, 100 60, most of which has
been applied to the purchase and cancellation

payment of obligations overdue and convcrti-
BILE into in. erest-bearing bonds and certifi-
Gates.
The amount of interest which will hereafter
be saved to the Government on the debt act
