ated coin, no deprecated paper, and
every dollar, whether of metal or pa

fixed standard. The value OF popular
education can hardly be overstated,
although it's interests must of necessi'
ty be chiefly con(ided to the voluntary
effort and individual action of the Sc
veral States. They should he encour-
aged so far as the constitution permits

the whole country demand that the ad-

reach of every citizen, and that no
revenues of States should be devoted
to the support Of the sectarian schools.
Such changes should be made in the

facturers and artisans to compete sue

The government should aid works of
internal improvement, national in
their character, and should promote
the development of our water courses
and harbors wherever the general in.
terests of commerce require. Four
years ago, as now, the nation..stood at

ton, and the Republican party, in soil
citing the continuance of it's ascenden-
cy, founded it's hope of success, not up
on its promises, but upon it's history.
Its subsequent course has been such
as to strengthen the claims which it
then made to the confidence and sup
port of the country. On the other
hand, considerations more urgent than
ever before existed, forbid the acces.
sion of it's opponents to power. Their
success, if success attends them, must
chiefly come from the united support
Of that section which sought the forci.
bic disruption of the Union, and
which, according to all the teachings
of our past history, will demand as.
cendancy in the councils of the party
to whose triumph it will have made
by far the largest contribution. There
is the gravest reason for apprehension
that the exhorbitant claims upon the
public treasury by no means limited to
the hundreds of millions already COW
cred by bills introduced in congress
within the past four years, would be
successfully urged if the Democratic
party should succeed in supplementing
it's present control of the national leg
islature, by electing the executive al"
so. There is danger in trusting the
control Of the whole law-making pow
er of the government to party which
has in almost every southern State re-
pudiated obligations quite as sacred
as those to which the faith of the ma
ton now stands pledged. I do not
doubt that success awaits the Repub-
lican party and that it's triumph will
assure just, economical and patriot
ic administration. lam, respectfully
