Importance" Of the Congressional
'' Elections.

Importance Of the Congressional
II Elections. 30.
From he Toledo Blade. L.'''
Tho Congressional elections are always
Of immense importance to the people Of
this country. No matter who is Prcsi-
dent, or what party holds power in other
departments, the party which rules the
popular branch OF the National Legisla-
turc can prevent the repeal Of good laws
and the passage of bad ones, If its own
purposes DO right md Just. The legiSlA-
tiono the Republican party during the
past ten years has been such as the new
era demanded, and Which 1t would be
treaChery to freedom and the progress of
the race not TO maintain, Until the Dem.
ocratic party OF the country shall be in
some why cut loose from its utilization
with the scCessiOnists Of the South, the
Republican party must stand guard over
the honor, peace and freedom OF the cOun-
try which Is redeemed from the bloody
grasp Of, treason, fgaJs .ro ...- 7ug
The Democratic party has moi accepted
the issues Of the past Us finally settled in
favor Of peace, unity and freedom. II
holds, with flendish tenacity, TO the same
evil doctrines which once lighted the fires
OF civil discord oil over the land. ltcOn-
tends for the right Of States to nulliiy or
at least 10 defeat national regulations cal
culated to defend the liberties Of the I'M
perilled citizen, and TO secure to citizens,
Of Ohio or Massachusetts, while 6oi0urning
in Georgia or Texas, all the rights enjoy
ed by the .CitizenSOf those States The
powcro Of tho Federal Government TO carry
out its own laws in oil the States is denied.
These tenets Gre still in the Democratic
creed to secure the votes Of CS-rG6els, with
out whichithey have no hope Of victory,
NO.partY ought ever tobe allowed 10
get control Of the Government, or Of
either house Of Congress- which clings TO
the right Of secession, or any OF. its tribu.
tary dogmaS. While tho repudiationists
and State rights men arc tnCamped! in
front, the Republican host must remain
true to it's trllstin guarding audperpetun-
ting the liberties 1t Inns saved. I,'aHa
ID Our work is not done, nor hall done.
We must SEQ that the debt incurred by the.
loyal nation is paid-that every enfran-
Chised freedman is secure in his rights and
the independent and untrammeled exCr-
else of his political-pOwCr. We must
make 1t rs. SHE for IN abolition. unImsol-
lier to live in Georgia or Texas us 1t is for
a Southern man 70 live in Pennsylvania or.
Ohio. We must sec TO it that no devices
or projects 10 secure the payment of the
rebel debt be sprung upon the nation. We
must see that no Democratic Congress
