hazard against tho rebellion; because ihe
Republicans In Congress pulsed laws 10
raise armies, 10 create u navy, 10 borrow

successful financial measures OF tho ngc.
We are Republicans because tho lie.
publican party saved the Union,
and not only preserved Tree GOV.
ernment to our own people, but gave
an impetus 10 the cause OF freedom
throughout tho world. We are Repub)i.
cans because the Republican party eman.
cipated four millions OF slaves, aud gave
them equal rights and the ballot. We are
Republicans because the Republican parry
has preserved the public credit, reduced
taxation, reduced the public debt, refund.
ell It at u low rate Of interest, and has
resumed specie payments. We are Repub-

Gently passed n law for the overthrow OF
that twin relic OF bLrhtrisul." 1t is in
favor OF an efficient and honest adminis-
tration OF the public service, and it has
proven its faitl, by its works. The Repub-
iicau party is opposed 10 b..llot.box stuff.
ing, false counting, social oslracism, bull.
DOING, intimidation and murder as means
to carry elections. It is in favor OF coual
rights, equal protection under lust laws, a
