The Republican Party.

THOSE who have been fearful that pos
sibly there might be some truth in the
Copperhead pretense that the Republican
party is on the decline and destined to an
early downfall, will find study of the re-
cent exciting contest in New Hampshire
with its favorable result, a profitable
source of encouragement. Notwithstand,
ing the triple alliance of the Democracy,
and the So called Labor Reformers and
Temperance men, in opposition to the
Republican ticket, the Republicans have
carried the State officers by a larger ma
jority than could have been reasonably
expected, and goodly majority in the
Legislature
Governor Stearns' majority for re-elec-
ton is not less than 1900, and the Repub-
lican majority in the Legislature, which
will have to elect United States Senator,
is rot less than fifty. 1t was as hard
fought political battle as has ever been
waged in the State, and the result sur
prises the Republicans themselves, who,
with a three-sided opposition to contend
with, by no means felt confident of vic.
tory.
This only demonstrates that the people,
not only of New Hampshire, but of the
whole country, continue to have conf
dence in the organization and principles
of the party which has rescued the Gov
eminent from the hands of the nation
enemies, and saved the Republic from the
peril of dissolution and destruction at the
hands of that Slave Power, which was
the strength of the Democratic party
while 1t had any strength to boast of
The Republican party has steadily ad-
hered to and faithfully carried out its
principles and policy, and never departed
therefrom, in the Executive office nor in
Congress, from the very first day that the
administration of the government has
been confined to its representatives This
being fact, and the recklessness and un-
trustworthiness of the Democracy" hav
ing become proverbial, the patriotism and
intelligence OF the people are sufficient
guarantee that Republican ascendency
will be maintained. The contest now is,
and hereafter always will be, as hereto.
fore it always has been, between the rot
ten, treacherous and dangerous Democrat
ic party on the one hand, and patriotism

other. Tuesdays result in New, Hamp

OF Republicans into pursuit of iq7leS,fatu'

The triumph in New Hampshire is mere
ly an example of how similar contests
would at this time result in other States.
The good old Republican party of free
dom, justice, and the national integrity
which has in the past won so many a Clio
rious victory for progress, right and th,
national well being, has as strong q holC

as vigorous and powerful, to-day, as at an,

its great interests, is entirely safe for year
