Eitt THE GREAT ISSUES.
The Country, it is now ev dent, can rely with
conf tence upon the republican party only for
such reform az ;.re. demanded by The most en-
Ii htened pubic opinion. These reforms are:
Industry may 3Cceive it's b rld-earnea wages in

Union against oppression or outrage on account
Of roiti ;ai and social prejudices.

No hope can DC placed IN the Democratic marty

significance. In ohio, New Jersey, New ork.
and other states, open attempts have been made
I'd corrupt, pervert, or destroy the American pub

silent upon tina great q e-tion, and also upon

taxation, corrupt on. and Inc Iicency. have been
marked results OF Democratic a. tendency.
The preservation Of freedom of speech, and of
peace, safety and public oroer, is demanded by
every patriotic consideration. But It is notori us
that, in he southern States. and that rece ntlt,
Democratic chs have indglged in riot, insurrec-
ton, and murder, for political ends: that liz mo-
cratic State governments have made no atteu,pt
to suppress such disorders; and The Democratic
party docs not even intendto offer security FIR
free speech and tree opinion aSalnsS political or
social prejudtces The pa ifcatlon OF the coun..

rights, can only be secured through the ascen-
dency Of the Republican party.
