arrayed against the nation, and we
invoke the earnest attention of the
country to the grave truth that success
thus achieved would reopen sectional
strife and imperil the national honor
and human rights.
16. We charge the Democratic party
as being the same in character and
spirit rs when it sympatbized with
treason; with making its control of the
House of Representatives the triumph
and the opportunity of the nations re-
cent foes; with reasserting and ap>
plauding in the national capitol the
sentiments of an unrepented rebellion;
with sending Union soldiers to the wall
and promoting confederate soldiers
to the front with deliberately
proposing to repudiate the plighted
faith of the government, with being
equally false and imbecile; with over
shadowing the ends of justice by its
partisan mismanagement and obstruc-
ton of investigation, ard with proving
itself through the period of its ascend
ency in the lower house of Congress
utterly incompetent 10 administer the
Government. We warn the country
against trusting party thus alike un :
worthy. recreant and incapable.
II. The national administration
merits commentator for its honorable
work in the management of domestic
and foreign affairs, and President Grant
deserves the continued and hearty graf
itude of the American people for his
patriotism and his immense service in
war and in peace.
