ciatinr no criticism, and invoking no
charity in the construction of IL acts,
but challenging faithful record Of il
through the viclSsitudrs Of war and peace.
and the candid judgment of all good
men in no spirit Of vain glory, but in the
simple difference in the history Of truth
We assert that since the Republican
party raised it. banner at Jackson. Ind.
it has never failed Under trials more St
we're than have brsrt the history Of any
other party sine" the organization Of the
government, to stand in tn" advanced
line of human progreS. during the tur-
bulent years before the war, throughout
the war, and in the unprecedented per-
plcxities which has succeeded. 1t has
forfeited none Of its pledges to humanity,
10 it, sister States, nor 20 the interest Of
our own citizens. 1t has promised the
protection Of good laws, and faithful
administration Of them. 1t ha, legisInt"d
wisely for hed"vcopmcnt Of our sbund-
ant resources.
Ironicai Talk.
Il ha, been liberal in III" encourage
mcnt of learning, and bountiful in pro-
vidiug for the unfortunate. II has per-
,i~t"ntly cultivated better civilization.
and there is no malignant hand that
can point t. any Of its legislation which
may be used 10 make man worse; ut the
same time 1t has been prudent and econ
omlCal in expenditures; ha, kept down
taxation: has been and is steadily re-
ducing the public Indebtedness, and the
financial credit of the State under it
management, is Of the highest standard
in all the commercial cities of the world.
We shall regard it as a good reason for
aCceding to the statement of'our oppo-
ncnts that the mission Of the Republican
party is ended, when we are pointed 10
political organization more bcnatiCent in
aims or more devoted or comprehensive
in lis patriotism. but n long rs it leads
all other parties u, it ha, done in the
past. il -till docs in the advancement of
good work in the investigation Of gricy-

Government on tn" very brink ol de-

Moro Irony.

held power in either pointing with just
pridr to the great and steadily increasing
reduction Of the national debt, and thr
jmrrovemcnt Of the national credit, ac-
compared by an equally remarkable re-
