national capacity, must always
exalt the ptide of patriotisrn.
The citizenship of Republican must
be the panoply and safeguard Of him
who wears 1t. The American citizen,
rich or poor, native or naturaliZed,
white or colored, must everywhere
walk secure in his personal and civil
rights. The Republic should never ac-
cept lesser duty. 1t can never assume
a nobler one than the protection OF the
humblest man who owes il loyalty
protection at home and abroad, into
whatever land he may 20 upon lawful

THE soUTH-THR SOUTHERN STATES.
l recognize not without regret the
necessity for speaking of two sections
of our common country, but the
regret diminishes. when I see that
the clements which separated them
have yielded and are yielding,
while a growing cordiality warns
the Southern and Northern heart
alike. Can any one doubt that between
the sections confidence and esteem are
to-day more marked than at any
period in sixty years preceding the
election Of President Lincoln? This is
the result in part of time and in part OF
Republican principles applied under the
Favorable conditions Of uniformity.
1t would be a great calamity
1.-THE Southern commonwealth
are learning to yindieste civil
rights and are adapting themselves
to "a condition of political
tranquility and industrial progress, If
4 there be occasional and violent out
breaks In the South against this peaceful
progress, the public opinion
of the country regards them
az exceptional and hopefully
trusts that each will prove the last.
The South needs capital and occupation,

needs the full protection of the
revenue laws which the Republican
party offers. Some of the south
ern States have already entered
upon a career of industrial development
and prosperity. These, at least
should not be blind to their own
future, Any effort to unite the Southern
States on issues that grow out
of the memories of the wal
will summon the Northern
States to combine in the assertion o
