THE PAST AND FUTURE.

A letter from William Lloyd Garrison
read at the meeting in New York on
Thursday evening last to celebrate the
adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment, con-
tains an acknowledgement of the share
which the republican party had in the Sc
curing of freedom and political rights to
the colored people, which is worthy of
more than passing notice. 1t is not for
Power the abolitionists were divided into
two parts, the one in favor of working
through the republican organization, the
other denouncing the republican party and
acting independently Of it. Sometimes the
war Of the latter upon the republican party
was sharp and bitter, and its acts such as
embarrassed the republicans in their course.
But the contest with Slavery is now ended
and Mr.. Garrison comes forward and III
truth and manliness says: Though identi-
fled with no political association, l deem it
simple justice in this connection to say that
whatever has been done, by political ac-
ton and Legislative enactment, to secure
this glorious triumph, has been done ex-
elusively by the republican party, and by
the Loyal Leagues cooperating with it;
and that President Grant is deserving o.
high praise for the support he has given t(
the claims of Il long oppressed but now re
deemed people" We speak of this only
10 impress upon republicans the value and
necessity of political organization in carry
ing forward reforms, aud to deprecate the
.hasty spirit which, because the party moves
slower than is desired, raises the standard
Of revolt and attacks the very organization
through which reform must be effected il
ut ALL This handsome commentator
rendered by Mr.. Garrison is useless as fal
as the past is concerned, but it has its les
son and admonition for the future whicl
should be beeded. If some republican
think the temperance cause moves SLOWLY
because their measures are not adopted
let them remember how surely SLAYER,
came to its death by this same slowmovins
.,sR finally irresistible and triumphant or
,gantzation, and trust and wait in patience
for v1dory.
But IL il said that since slavery is abol
sisaaad and flas negro admitted to all the
rights ana f.is'sletses of citizenship, there
is nothing more for tae republican party
10 do, and it might AZ well disbaad and
give place to other organizations. This is
