The Republican Party.

Senator Oglesby, in his speech at
Cincinnati on Friday evening, thus
referred to the Republican party and
the blessings conferred upon the peo-
pie through its influence:
Under the auspices, under the wise,
magnanimous, humane policy of the
Republican party now engrafted in
lasting letters in the Constitution of
our country, he who is citizen by
birth or by adoption of either State in
this Union is citizen in all the
States. Applause. Wherever the
home of any of US may be as to lacali-
ty, in State or Territory. it is still un-
confined by State or Territorial boun-
daries, but reaches over the lair plains
of the whole republic. All live in a
national union, in government to day
of all the American people cheers |,
so l feel at home in Cincinnati. Re-
newed cheers I have right to be
here. I can not feel otherwise than
comfortable, because I am treading
my own domain. Happy country!
Grand people! blessed with institu.
tons of this character. All thanks
to the Republican party for its grand
and liberal policy. Applause. ]

grand plateau Of liberty, by the grace
of the Republican party, We are all
made free and equal. Applause. ]
No distinction here of caste, or grade.
or color No titles of nobility or de-
bility. The fairest lady in this audi
ence tonight and the ugliest man
[laughterl stand alike in the enjoy
ment of all the civil liberty that hu-
man being can enjoy. How grand
this idea is! How noble the thought,
that to dwell in America is to be the
equal Of the hiehest!' There are no
lines of demarcatlon, no places of dis
tinction. if a man be moral and a great
citizen. l want no better land; l crave
no other country. Here / am willing
to live and die, and only hope my
children after me, all unnumbered
generation, to follow US, all may be
spared the privilege of this great re-
public. Loud applause s

"Gov. Ames, of Mississippi. appeals
to the Government to help him en-
force order in the State. If Ames
and his ilk will get out of the State,
there will not be long a necessity Tor
enforced order. Sentinel.
This is spirit of Democracy. As
this purports to be free country,
and as the constitution provides that
1.-THE citizens of each State shall be
entitled to all privileges and immuni.
ties of citizens in the several States
it is difficult to see why "Ames and
his ilk, have not right to be and
stay in Mississippi But the Demo
cratic party down there, the White
Leaguers and white liners, do not
recognize the right of Northern men
to come there, nor the right of any,
body. white or black, to vote the Re-
publican ticket. According tn their
theory, the indispensable condition Of
peace is that ''Ames and his ilk, !"
meaning thereby everybody except
Democrats. shall get out OF the
State" Then there will be peace.
This is the spirit of Democracy in ev-
cry Southern State It does not in
tend that the colored man shall exer-
else the rights OF freemen. nor that
the Republican party shall maintain
any organization in the South: 1t is
the spirit of intolerance and barbar-
