Democrat OF the South and his subser-
went Northern ally. There is not
true interest Of the South of which the
Republican party is not the friend.
There is not man here who would not
60 the verge Of his ability to give the
South that priceless blessing. the COM
mon school, who is not delighted to hear
of the growth of new industry, the
building of new railroad. the founding
of new university. Look at the North
ern contribution for Southern education.
Look at the magnificent work of the
American Missionary Association. The
Eads jetties, undertaken for the benefit
of the South, which are to make one long
harbor Of the Southern Mississippi. from
which all Europe may be clothed and
fed, owe their success to the votes of
Northern Republicans. The one hearts
desire of Republican New England is
for prosperous, happy. free, peaceful,
educated South. (Applause.) All we
have to ask of her is: Come out from
among the tombs. Think of the living
and not of the dead. Look abroad over

school-houses, and not at grave yards.
Think of the future, and not of the past
or, if you must think of the past. think
of the Revolution, and not of the REBEL
ion. (Applause.)

South will show us any way SO promote
their moral or. material prosperity, no
one of their own representatives will
pursue it with more eagerness of desire

Lighthouses, we will help improve their
rivers and harbors, we will help revive
their commerce, and cover their land
with railroads. But for their sake, as
for our own, we will not permit them to
wipe out the results of the war, or to
trample under their heels either our own
| constitutional rights or those of our
Republican fellow-cltizens. applause

Southern struggle for political power
begins always. like the ancient games,
with sacrifice; sacrifice in which is
