UNITED STATES DISTRICT ATTORNEY
A. q Keasby OF Newark, was the next speaker:
that the mission OF the republican party was
ended, and sometimes some republicans thought
were present great many who, by their pres
ence, did not think the mission OF the republican
party fulfilled seemed ernr 10 9m taas nd a, ,be eas aey
want taS'S the eec,on c Mr. Hasey for the D sra,
sake Of the ofiices, but to carry out the
principles OF the republican party. The mission of
the republican party was not ended. party
founded on an impure basis could not last. though
It might temporarily succeed. party which
would build party on the lnfamy OF slavery could
not last. 1t would crumble as crumbled Babel. A
party which sought TO extend human rights would
find that its mission never ended. 1t would
De unreasonable to expect that WORK
like the work OF the republican party
could be done III day. They did not
mean to give up power, though the gates OF hell
should prevail against them. When he read Of the
infamous outrages in the South he iet that the
hell hounds of blood had been lOOsed. There were
rumOrs Of wars of races in the South. If these
came on 1t certain that the mission OF the re-
publican party was not ended, and rhat mission
aries would yet have to go down there with some
thing more than spiritual weapons (Applause)
There were mistakes made, no doubt, by the
freedmen OF the South, but these were simply
what the South brought on itself by ITS rebellion.
There were abuses in the South, but 1t was the
mission OF the republican party to remedy them by
wise legislation There was much to preserve ana
other worlds to conquer They had to build up the
public credit and bring back the country 10 specie
payments. They had also to build up the navy,
20 that the dag OF the country might
not be INSURED with impunlty. Above all,
they must thoroughly investigate all frauds and
promote integrity in orcial trusts. tApplause.)
In conclusion Mr.. keasby spoke enthusiastically
Of Mr.. Hasey and OF the state Convention resou-
tiOn, stating that the party was in favor OF eStab
fishing port OF entry at Jersey City. He went
into this latter subject so extensively with dry
record quotations, &C., that the audience thlnned
out vtslby.
