CURTIS.
thank you sincerely for this evidence of your conf

who persuaded that the republican is the party
of Justice union and liberty, it also that of
citation, honesty and REFORM For fifteen years the re-
publican party hos governed the country II saved the
Union war; and 1t has restored and pacihed IT, if its
opponents may be believed 1t has done this, not al
ways wisely WELL and in the face of the most
scrupuous and remorseless opposition but IL has done
it, 1t has restored the country the lost glory of the
American name That the OF national life has
been removed; that the liberty of all the people
and their equality before the law have been
serted and maintained; that the question of
State secession has been settled forever;
that our politics have been lifted from the fierce and
fatal difference the nature of the government
the discussion Of the constitutional methods Of admin
istraton; that the national name before
ilustrous nor its power and honor so universally re-
spected are results vast benedcen permanent which
are due to the American people acting through the
publican party. Naturally to those of who have
borne the and shared the struggle, the ere
publican has inspiring charm. IL Is connected
with great historic epoch with great soldiers states
men and martyrs with great trumphs for the country
and manhood. The name of the democratic party is
ndeliby stained with slavery and secession with inf
deity TO human rights and the Union as their guaran-
