FOR thG GrSt fine The cOloTCd CItIECns Of tho
State ind themselves Invested with pOlltieal
rights. 1t may not be inappropriate, therefore,
to remind them that they now have tho same
concern as other citizens u tho dGlibCEauons o.
party conventions, aud In the results OF popular
elections. To those Of them who hold 70 the Re-
publican faith this call 10 therefore addressed al
well a. to other Republicans.
II was the Republican party that SubdICd the
rebellion. II was tho Democratic party that In
AuRuratCd and carried on the rebellion: and that
party d to-day but the political Representatives oil
the 1efInct Conicdefacy. Tho sO'callGd Demo
cratic party processes no principles. It's only Ap'
peal i6r support 10 tho declaration Of purpose
10 reverse all the decisions OF tho war, which
could only be reversed BY tho same dread Nrblter
The responsibility for tho calamitles Of tho rebel
lion can never be llftcd nom tho Democratic
party. The very name Of that party s3VorS Oi
treason and crinO. II ID smposslble that any
party bearing that name, especially when led BY
tho leaders and ayowIng the objects Of that rUbel
lion, eau BE- again trusted by tho people
Of this country. Only those who adhere
to the purposes Of the defeated rebels cal
longer foiiow-thr faIlen. fortunes Of this beaten
remnant u thgr rebellion, Called tha Demo
CFRtic party. All who accept the results Of The
war, and desire to sec tho complete Cstab
llshmUnt. Of political ,eguality must Tiers
fore seek other political associations. The
Democratic party can DHVT claim 10 be the
representative and exponent OF the new ideas
developed by the war. Tho Republican party
has 'bSGn tho Instrument at once Of saving tho
UhIOn and Of inaugur4ting tho new CE1 In It's bis,
tory. Having made all tho people citizens, and
all Tho ciuzens equal before the law It now EOOk4
only 70 maintain aud pOFpetuatO the bUnodceht re-
sul9 II has achieved.
Ina spirit Of charity, desiring TO clOsc the con-
lroVeFsiCs Of the past, our party has ALREADY re.
moved many disabilities imposed tn time Of
public peril a. measures then Just and necessary,
upon persons engaged 10 the rebellion. In the
same spirit aud 10 the same end 1t has, through
ibb IuUuT L1luLuICH nASuInCA Hhb
pose 10 relieve the same Glars from tho political
disabilities yet resting on them rs rapidly rs the
Constitution Of the State will permit.
II cannot be doubted that many who have not
heretofore acted With the Republican party now
HCQulesca In the results Of Ii policy, aud realize
that the public welfare will not DO promoted by
further attempts 10 reopen settled Issues, ~ pro
posed by tho Democracy. There Is no reAEOT
why such persons should not bc 10 practical and
harmonious cooperation with the Republican
party: and all such therefore as 10 good Alth
abide the decisions Of tho war, dCsire to Sce thu
complete GxtinguiShmOnt OF political lncquAlItiCl
and the restoration Of All cra OF charity aud gOOt
feeling, and are willing 10 cooperate with thu
