voices as clear in the promotion OF

plause. long continued.l During
the last few years in which we have
been blessed with peace, the
Republican party has been con-
tinued in The administration Of the
government. The great question
Of preserving or giving up the union
of states was presented to as. It
was the republican party which
affirmed its per petuity. 1 open no
wounds nor do / resurTect any bad
memories in stating this as an indie
lible fact; when you and |, my
friends, and that vast body OF men
who, having declared in favor of
preserving the Union, were COM
PEELED to resort to the last dread
mea sure, The arb trament of war,
We did so under call Of the Iepub>
hcan party; many of us had been
educa; ed by our fathers in che demo.
cratic SCH oil of p0lltics, and many
of US were acting with that party at
the time the issue of war was pre-
scented 10 us For years the demo-
cratic party had welded the desti-
MES of our government, and had
served its purpose under the mar
rover views OF an ideal republic
which then existed, but the matrix
OF time has developed new child
Of progress, which saw the light of
day under the name Of the republic
can party. It's birth announced
the conception of higher, broader,
principles of human government
than had been entertained by our
forefathers; but few OF us, perhaps,
none, took in the full dimen ions of
the coming fact at that early day.
IL broke upon us gradually like the
light OF the morning sun, as he rises
in the misty dawn above a sic epy
mountain top. Atlength it came in
full blaze, and for the first time in
the history of our republic, we began
to give q genuine vitality to the
declaration of 1776, that call men
are created equal, and are entitled
to the inalienable rights of life, libS
erty and the pursuit of happiness"
(cheers.) The Republican party was
unquestionably the agency which
bore this gift to a waiting age, and
it was the Dem ocratic idea which
disputed their value, frst upon the
field OF battle, and subsequently and
up to this moment, at the polling
places Of the country. The Repub-
lican party, then, represents the
latest fruitian OF governmental pro-
gress, and Is destined to survive on
the theory that the strong outliye
the weak till the development of |
still more advanced shall |
compel it to measure its step with |
he march If the ege, or go to the |
wall as an instrument which has
UTILIZED its destiny. So long
IS the Democratic party |
ball cling either in open. or In Coz |
-ert to the traditions and policy be-
ongDg to an expired era of our
lie veto. ment, just so long will the
epublican party be charged with /
he administration of our govern.
