THE DIFFERENCE.

The Republican party sprang into ex-
istence to prevent the extension of slave
~ The Democratic party was for fifty
years the champion of the slave power.
The one preferred the Union to slavery;
the other slavery to the Union. The one
is animated by the spirit of liberty and
fraternity the other by that of intoler-
ance and desPotism. The one looks to
the elevation of few. The one IS the
promoter of education, order, industry,
thrift, universal freedom and equal rights;
the other, the fomenter of discord the
enemy of schools and the advocate of
class distinctions. The one IS based upon
the doctrine that all men are created
equal, and that governments derive their
inst, powers from the consent of the
governed; the other IS founded upon the
proposition that slavery IS an institution
of God, and human blood, muscle and
brain legitimate articles of merchandise.
These are the central ideas, the funda-
mental doctrines of the two parties
and although the principle of freedom
has triumphed for the time, the prinCi-
pie of slavery has not been finally con-
duered. 1t slumber in the hearts of mil
lions of.restless men, ready to spring
forth at the oPportune moment and re-
store the old order, the old institution,
which was stricken down by the war.
Men may pretend to sneer at this, but it
is nevertheless true. The South, which
prolonged the armed struggle for slavery
four years, and sacrificed in its defense
a hundred thousand of her citizens. still
cherishes the cause for which she fought
and still hopes to restore its PROSTATE
fortunes bv and through the success of
the Democratic party.

THE GREAT ISSUE.

But it is a mistake to suppose that the
great distinction between the Republi-
can and Democratic parties is in the
views they hold upon the tariff. the cur
rency or other minor issues. There is a
broader distinction than this-a wide
and deep gulf reaching back over the
past, stretching out into the future. to
mark for all time the status of the two
great parties in this country. The diff
ference between them is as irreconcila-
BILE and unalterable as that between
light and darkness. The strife between
them is the conflict of two essentially
distinct and autagonistic elements--two
principles that have from time immemo-
rial contended with alternating fortunes
in field and forum; each vanquished at
times. but never destroyed, and both
constantly reappearing in some form to
renew the conflict. 1t is the old war be-
tween liberty and despotism, equali-
ty and caste.

1t is. sometimes said that the. Republi-

great work of emancipation, has fulfilled
its mission and is now ready to die. This
is a mistake. 1t IS but now ready to live

To the ReBz6zicaus ofkHe Lnflea States :.
The Executive and Legislative De-
partments of the National Government,
and two-thirds of the State Governments,
have been committed to your keeping.
Such power carries with ii grave respon-
sibilities. The people. as is their right,
will hold you to a strict accountability
for the exercise of this great trust Elec-
tons are soon to be held for the Nation
al House of Representatives. These
elections viii determine the political
complexion of the popular branch of
Congress. They will, too, determine the
political character of several State Gov
ernments. And these results will be ac-
cepted as the verdict of the people upon
the ideas, principles and policies of the
Republican party, and upon the measures
and character of the National Admins
tration. To these responsibilities, and
to the gravity of these issues, your
thoughtful consideration is invoked. In
the present Juncture it behooves the Re
publican party not to forget its origin, or
its history. Amid the difficulties that
beset it, and the responsibilities and
labors which the needs of the country in
the new and untried condition of affairs
imposes. it should remember that it was
born of the nation necessities, and thus
far It has grandly met the exigencies for
which it was formed. Having passed
triumphantly through three great eras of
its history, it is now summoned to enter
upon its fourth. Gathering, therefore,
inspiration from past successes, it should
grapple hopefully and with unshrinl<ing
confidence with the duties of the present
and near future.

ORIGIN OF THE PARTY.

Recurring to their origin, Republicans
will remember, when the land was the
theater of a stern and irreprcssible con-
flict between the demons of slavery and
caste, and the spirit of liberty and
equality, when the slave power held
great interests and powerful organiza-
tons in its grasp. and ruled the nation
with imperial sway. that the founders of
the party instructed by passing events,
with convictions deepened and zeal
quickened by the teachings of history
and of holy writ, and inspired by the
deathless words of the patriots, states
men and heroes of our earlier time, rose
to the. .exigencies of the hour, opposed
the naughty ambitions, the maddening
passions, the cruel prejudices and the
disorganizing theories of the dominating
majority. and, although long overborne
by numbers, still struggling on amid
jeers, insults, mobs, blows and assassin
ations. till, under the lead of Abraham
Lincoln, they achieved success and
grasped the scepter of political power.

nation into the fire and blood of civil

with the crisis. 1t raised money in un-
stinted measure, organized vast armies,
created powerful naYies, fought bloody
battles, crushed the most gigantic rebel
lion of all recorded history, and saved
the nations life It was then, amid the
clash of arms, that the Republican par
