EQUAL RIGHTS.

Its first declaration is that ffWe
hold to the equality Of all men before
the law" There are some Democrats
in the United States who will open
their eyes when they read that. They
have not forgotten the time when the
shout along the whole democratic line
from Maine to Florida was "This Is a
white mans Government" ZAP
plause.l They have not forgotten
with what unetiOn their Democratic
orators were wont to stir their blood
in the days Of old by the cry, "Are
you going to make a niger equal to
a white man ?1 That language adOp-
ted at Cincinnati Is simply the Ian
guage Of the Republican party Of the
United States. 1t is language that Of
old was embodied in your declaration;
it is language that found a place in
your Constitution. But until the
party Of the Union came to the rescue
and vindicated the Constitution Of the
United States, and assured 20 all the
Justice which it was intended % eststb-
lish and enforced IT by the law, the
equality of all men before the law was
a thing absolutely unknown in Amer
lea.
That all men are equal before the
law has become reality in the United
States, through the tFiumphs Of the
party Of the people within the last
Twelve years. ] know well how it
comes TO be that to-day America
stands crowned with the greatness Of
Justice in the fact that before the
majesty Of her law all men are equal.
1 know that it came through sacrifice
and suffering and martyrdOm. I
know that it came through the living
and the dying Of the three hundred
thousand Of your unreturned braves
who perished in the defense Of the
Union amid the consuming fires Of
battle. know that it came through
the might and the OmnipOtence Ofthe
