JUDGE PIERREPoNT's SPEECH.
Judre PfERREPoNT commenced his speech by
tracing the origin and history OF the republican
party BY which, he said, through faith, and toll ana
prayer and suffering the nation was saved and the
foulest crimes that ever cursed Christian people
were "burned and purged away" Had the party
which did this hercuean work performed its full
missionp was it ready to dlsband Its forces TO turn
over the glorious fruits OF all It's labors, to be en-
loved wasted or destroyed by those whose hands
were vet stained with the blood OF loyal men
Speakinp OF the importance or the election he
sald:-Por more than forty years the Congress which
was elected two years before the Presidential
contest has determined that contest And now
a new House is TO be elected; wi hin few days
we shall know whether the Congress which con.
tnues through the term OF General Grant is re-
publican or not. II 1t Is republican, then you
may be reasonably sure that the next President will
be O republican, and II 1t Is antl-repubiican, then
YOU may reasonably fear that the next President
will be the humble tool OF the rebel power, swift to
40 It's bidding ready as they have promised, to set
at naught the amendments to the constitution which
favor liberty. and ready to recompense the slave
holder for his liberated slaves. The republican
party during Its short career, has done colossal
work; but Its labor Is not ended. 1t is now in its
prime oil power It's greater work is yet to be
done It has torn down the decayed old fever
breeding tenement and cleared away the rub
blsh; 1t has laid the new corner stones
upon the rock OF humanity, justice and
equal liberty, and now the building OF
the structure requires more skilful hands,
moro wise forecasting minds than it required to
tear down the ruined edl1ce which, incong ruous
and falsely reared, was tumbling to ITS fall. Tho
soldier noby did his work; he Will have the undylng
gratitude OF patriots OF hts own time and 1.-THE
thanks OF millions yet TO be-" But the work Of the
republican statesman has but just begun and the
republican mission viii not end until the statesman's
work Is finished Expect some blunderng In the
beginning. which generous people Will forgive to
q party which Is honest IN It's main purpose and
which has such record OF great deeds ana heroic
success In the saving OF the nation. BE quite sure
that the republican mission Is not ended. 1t Is the
democratic party which, untrue to Its earlier his
tory and to the honest convictions of its best men,
has lost the confidence OF the people and must perish
as national power. The only chance which 1t has
OF electing the one 1t nominates Is 10 nominate
