can be pronounced upon the principles
of that party, because it has conscious
integrity left sufficient to begin the work
of reforming itself by itself. Parties in
this country cannot live on their reputa-
ton. 1t was remarked, | believe, by
Sir Walter Raleigh, in reference to the
pride of ancestry that those who boast
ed most of their progenitors were like
the plant he had discovered in Ameri-
ca-the best part was under ground.
1t is not because the Republican party
has done good things, that it deserves to
live, but only as it shows present abili-
ty to continue the work of reform by
the application of the same principles
with which it has achieved its past sue
cess. 1t was because those who have
succeeded in obtaining control of its or
ganizatiOn and machinery are diverting
it from its legitimate objects and pur-
poses, that we are here to-day, to call
back those who have wandered, and to
recall those who are willing to work
with us, to restore those principles to
their proper primacy. And now, gem
tIemen, one Of the deep and earnest con
victiOns which has spread almost univer-
sally through the hearts of the Ameri-
can people. and out of which this move
ment proceeds. is this That the war
of the rebellion is ended, and that peace
is come, and that, as the war has ended,
50 ought military rule and military prin-
ciplcs. 50 ought everything that is ar
bitrary, so ought everything that de
grades a race Of individuals, SO ought
everything that opposes, everything that
corrupts, everything that keeps alive
and fans the cmbers of the dying, and
ought to be dead past. The cry came
up four years ago, and it was thought
an suspicious omen Of the coming Of
that time which we have looked for in
vain-when it was said, Let us have
peace :" But we have not had peace.
Look at the South to-day. What a spec
taclc we have. The example Of so
called civil governments bankrupting
the communities they affect to represent,
power usurped by strangers and not
conferred by the voice OF the people.
and not for the purpose of restoring the
prosperity of those battle-graZed fields,
but for corruptly enriching the men who
think that power and office belong to
them as property, and not as trust.
So. gentlemen, in every department
Of the government the slow poison Of
corruption, only, not sufficiently slow,
seems to have pervadcd the whole civil
and political administration Of the COun-
try, from head to foot. 1t is because
Republicans, with pain, with reluctance,
with sorrow and regret, see and know
and experience this condition Of public
affairs that they have felt they could no
longer afford the responsibility Of part
nership in such a wrong. hut that it was

SrICIDE.-Mr Thomas I. c. Cowley, a
highly respected and well-to-do farmer,
residing near Queenstown, Queen Anne S
county, committed suicide on Sabbath
morning, the 18th inst, by taking strych-
nine. Mr.. c. was on visit to his father
in-law, residing on Kent Island, and shortly
after breakfast he complained of feeling
sick, and died in Il very brief space of time.
In one Of his pockets was found on a paper
of strychnine, which led to the summoning
of coroner's jury, who, after hearing all
the evidence in the case, rendered a verdict
to the effect that the deceased came to his
death from poison administered by his own
hand. Mr. C. was possessed of considera-
BILE property; was of temperate habits, and
it is difficult to imagine any cause for the
preparation of this fatal act This makes
the fifth suicide of persons i'll that county

gratifying success. During his pastorship
one new church has been built-Ilart s.;

been greatly builtup. He leaves the charge
in n rood spiritual and financial condition.
The report in the Wilmington papers,
that Mr.. Tull had resigned the ministry on
