preservation in the kindest

the country's preservation in the kindest
remembrance.
Fifteenth. We sincerely deprecate all
sectional feeling and tendencies. We there
fore note with deep solcitude that the
Democratic party counts as its chief hope
of success upon the electoral vote of an
united South, secured through the efforts
of those who were recently arrayed against
the nation, and we invoke the earnest
attention of the country to the grave truth
that a success thus achieved would re open
sectional strife and imperil national honor
and human rights.
Sixteenth. We charge the Democratic
party as being the same in character and
spirit as when it sympathized with treason,
and with making its control of the House
of Representatives the triumph and appor-
tunity of the nations recent foes: with re-
asserting and applauding in the National
Capital the sentiments of unrepented rebel
hon; with sending Union soldiers to the
rear; with deliberately preparing to repu-
date the blighted faith of Government:
with being equally false and imbecile upon
the overshadowiug financial question: with
thwarting the ends of justice by its partisan
mismanagement and obstruction of iuvesti-
CATION; with proving itself through the
period of its ascendcncy in the Lower
House of Congress, utterly incompetent to
administer the Government. We warn
the country against trusting a party thus
alike unworthy, recreant and incapable.
Cheers.
Seventeenth. The National Admnistra-
ton merits commentator for its honor
able work in the management of domestic
and foreign affairs, and President Grant
deserves the continued and hearty gratitude
of the American people for his patriotism
and his immense Servive in war and i'll
peace. Cheers.
