auspiciously, 50 far as the testimony
is concerned. Ovington, the FIRST

involved himself in perfect laby-

Not Yet Ended.

1t is somewhat amusing to see Demo
cratic editors, who never Endorsed the Re
publican party or any of its measures, give
as a reason for the faith that is in them Of
the defeat awaiting the Republican party
that the mission OF said party is ended. II
is fairly deducible from the remark that
said editors mean that the mission OF the
Republican party was to save the Union
when threatened by the Democracy. An
honest confession is said to be good Tor the
soul, and the confession couched in The
declaration that the Republican party has
mission and performed it demonstrates
that the editors aforesaid are not soulless,
But the mission of the Republican party
is not wholly ended. True, through its
insuumentality the Democratic rebellion
was crushed like an egg in full grip as
Grant once expressed ii, but its mission
Will not be wholly fulfilled until the
Democracy is as dead as is their REBEL
ion.
When the Republican party attained
power it had to confront leading tenet
of the Democratic party, to the effect that
one or more States had the right to secede
at will or pleasure, and that the Union had
no power of selfpreservation. That dog,
ma has never been as publicly recanted as
it was enunciated, and it is fair to presume
that tits yet a part of the Democratic con-
tession of faith.
Many of the leaders of the late REBEL
ion still live. JEFF Davis, the Jupiter

glorying in his shame. He and his com,
peers look with favor on the contemplated
overthrow of the Republican party ana
