THE USE or A REPUBLICAN, ANN1-
vERsARY.
The celebration Of tho twonty-hfth anni~
versary Of the organization OF tho Repub-
lican party in Wisconsin was especially i'm
portnnt in rsviving tho origin and recalling
the glorious achievements OF that patriotic
party. Tho drift Of tho speeches delivered
Oh tho occasion was naturally in that direc.
ton. Twenty-Five years is but brief epooh
in tho history of q milton, but during that
period the Republican party has founded
traditions which will carry its famo through
tho lapse Of ages; and m anniversary must
orouso even tho indifferent TO IN exalted
sonso Of pride in It's record. Tho Republican
party originated in groat principle, and tho
opposition it encountered developed anothor
great principle which It espoused and estab-
lished. Tho anti-s!ayery sentiment Of tho
country would have boon satisfied with a
permanent clock upon the extension Of tha.
institution, for tho acquioscenco Of tho sIaye-
holding States in this concession would
probably have prepared tho way for poaco-
ful and gradual emancipation. But tho
ElavoIolding aristooracy Of tho Boutl,
forced anothcr issuo upon tho party, which
