THEDIFrERENCE

We have vet to hear of the first republican

On the other hand, IN the strong demo
cratic counties of Fulton, Brown, Green
Shelby, Clinton-in short all through The
middle and south part OF the state, the demo
cratic party wherever the occasion has pre-
scented itself, have given way to the farmers
conventions and agreed to support their nom
nations. Do the farmers see nothing Slgnlil-
cant in this? Are they being swallowed by
the democratic party, or are they not r4'her
swallowing up or wipng out that party! Oh
whon, under such circumstances, have the
farmers cause to be jealous or TO stand in fear
the democrats or republicans? Who are
their enemies-thc democrats or republicans?

The republicans Of Putnam county thinl
that the party that has been able TO libe
ate 4 100000 slaves and crush the rebellion
| is able 10 crush out other mOnOpOlies.' jus
what we VeHOHH IHdcr.
The Republican party did not Of itsel
" crush the Rebellion and "liberate 1900,
600 Of slaves" None but reckless falsiiiol
pretends in these days that the war to crust
the rebellion was in the north at any time q
party question, or that the democrats did not
contribute to the war both in men and money
as freely and largely rs the republicans did
This claim that the republican party alone
crushed the rebellion is rs impudent q it is
unfoundcd, and is put forth only by small
politicians devoid Of decency and shame.
But suppose the republican party did in
that respect all that is so rccklessly claimed,
the position of the party towards the monop-
oists is the very opposite of that it occupied
towards slavery The party was organized
to oppose slavery, and gained all it, strength
and prestige from its clearly pronounced and
well known opposition to that institution
toward the monopoists? 1t has created, pro
tcCted and foStcrcd them all. The Pacific
railroad, the currency, the cotton, the lumber,
salt, wooden and leather mOnOpoles are all
of the republican party These monopolies
know their parcntagc, and in return support
and uphold the party. Their mutual sup
port and dependence is so perfect that the
leading spirits.of both are fully conscious that
without such mutual support both must fall
Was such, or anything approaching it, ever
he position of the republican party in ref
renee to slavery? On the contrary, the
present position of the republican party with
eiercncc to the monop0lies is exactly that of
he southern rebels with reference to slavery
,cfore the rebellion. And the folly would be
not one whit greater now to looi 20 the re.
publican party to crush the monopolics, than
t would have been in 1860 to lock to the
southern rebels to crush slavery. 4
The strength Of the democratic party from |
the days of Jefferson to Franklin Pierce, lay |
IN the South, and it was 10 Southern states
man chiefly that the party owed its brilliant
record; but the party had bound itsef TO main
tain the compact of the fathers on the slavery
question, and when the time came 10 resist
the aggrcssions Of that monster was no long |
or to be trusted, The strength of the rcpub- |
lcan party lies in New England ther, it had |
its birth and all its prestige comes from New
England principles and ideas, and New Eng |
land is the home and the dependent of the
system. The time has come to re
sist TIE aggrcssions of that monster, and like
the democratic party On the slavery question
so now the republican parry on the mopopo-
~ question, is not to be trUstcd It's mission as
an anti-slavcry party is fulfilled; its work is
done; its career ended; itmust die and give
way to new organizations based on new ideas
