attempted to destroy the Union
it was reserved for the Republican party to
guide the country in that peril0us time,
and to crush the most gigantic rebellion
the world ever saw. Without this party
the country must have perished But it
has been reserved for il to write on it's ban
ner in the last twenty years the following
principles affirmed in the Declaration Of
Independence: 1t lias saved the Republic;
has given us a wise system offinance cur
rency that has carried us through the re-
bellion.. 1t has failed in no particular, and
it is meet that the people con-
tinue it in power so long as it deserves its
s0RRport,d RRpportdiDu this q, the highest honor Of
my life to. preside over the deliberations. of
