Il
The above named Committee IN
view of the present important cam
paign have issued an address replete
with subject matters of generalinterest
to tha-country; NE regret that our
limited space will preclude more than
a synopsis of the sams--1n the pre-

States" the Committee p%ertinently

say:
tt1hc government, like the servant,
owes faithful service. But the people,
like the master, owe honest recogn1T;
ton of faithful service. Every thought,
full employer knews that he can NOT,
with impunity deory faithful labor
He who. does SC. habitnaAly. vii soon
have no faithful laborets. The faith.
full servddlt will inbt submit to be treat
ed rs a ;faithless one. IF SO, treated,
he himself will become faithlcss, or he
will give place to one who is faithless:"
Advertip;g to Democratic statesman
ship the craftsmanship Of the 'Rcpub-
ican party is narrated, and the Wis
dom of its firm and judicious manage
ment: in thirteen years Of administer
ton is shown relative. to our foreign
relations, in contradistinction to the
puerilo and ignoble policy Of the Dem
ocratic party during thirty years pre-
viously of governmental control. t..
The Ostcnd manifesto, the violation
Of the rights of naturalizcd, citizens,
and the tame REIMBURSEMENT to Great
Britain of i portion: Of our territory in
tho Northeast. AMI yet a larger por-
ton in the Northwest, and the eucces-
sive concessions by which the area OF
Canada was enlarged. and the permits
sion of their products to free access in
our: markets, arc all cited rs illustrating
the diplomacy of the Democratic su;
prcmacy., . .,.~ g.
:. CHEAP GOVERNMENT.
OF this the Committee say: '"'The
story of our home rule would be sad
der,-if anything saddcr could be"
1t dared not levy a tax, except on the
importation of IL foreign commodity,
and'cvcn then dreaded such imposi'
ton, lest it might unwittingly pro-
motto some domestic industry. No
well-educated Democrat could tolerate
such q result. So deficient revenues
were the consequence, aided from
time to- time by loans. Its inability
and unwiliuSncss to improve our riv
ers and harbors, and its general. futiity
in craftsmanship and work are further
a~ttestetl. The Louisville canal and it,
wretched management, "Other Spcci-
mems of Democratic Rnle;' and "Do
Nothing Policy" together with its alb
solute lack Of power to 4 v the gov
crnment when rebellion menaced it,
ure all set forth; representing the con-
dition Of affairs when the Republican
party succeeded Oh the 4th Of March,
1861. That party was instructed to
but one duty. It was commanded to
save the Territories from the defle'
ment of slavery. The order was obey
ed. No slavcry.in any of the Terrific
RIGS, and moro than all, none in any ol
the States.
OTHER THINGS ACCOMPLISHED.
The rebellion was sublued. Nine
States which claimed to have left thu
protection of the Constitution, wer'
returned. A race numbering millions
has been raised from the condition o
chattels to the state of men. Human
rights have gained the sanction o
three new chapters added to the M
tional Constitution. Murder organized
in several States, wearing the garb ant
plying the trade of iends, under tn
name of Ku-klux, has been exposed
convicted, punished. Our foreign Of
fairs have been wisely managed
Great Britain has corrected her mis-
} takes. Those islands taken from u
in the Northwest have been relinquish
ed. THE dogma of a British bor1
subject never changing his a1legianc
: has also been abandoned. German.
has followed, or rather set this wis
, example. Belgium, Sweden, Norway
. and Denmark have done the same, an
: now when the republic grants tn
. boon Of citizenship to one Of Irish
: English, German, or Scandinavia
, birth, the grant is recognized in th
! land of his nativity. 's.
