THE pARrY,s RALLY POINT.

THE PARTY'S RALLY POINT.
TO men and women. without regard to
political preferences, who admire de-
cision Of character, who can admire and
trust men who make manly defense
of an opinion avowed or a position taken,
the attitude of the Union Republicans
in the General Assembly ought to excite
enthusiastic applause. Amid the shift
ing indecision of the opposition they
move as a solid body; as men of mind,
ard purpose, and discipline. They repre-.
sent something that is known to and
valued by them ala great faith and
hope held in common, and worthy pur-
pose evolved from that faith and hope
held IN common. No matter what oc-
ours, what attacks are made or what
stories come, they hang together with IA
tenacity which alone ought to win ad-
mration and applause.
II is upon such men as these that rests
| The fate OF States and Nations. 1t is
L
lnd preserved the liberties of this peo-
pie. II was such men as these, inspired
| py high patriotic purpose, that repelled
the invasion of the north at Antietam,,
md Gettysburg, during the Civil War;
| md these men of admirable discipline
and courage in the Delaware Assembly
represent just the same undying prin-
ciples, and are fighting for the same
nigh purposes i'll government, as du
states was imperilled-the principles Of
,hr Union Republican party. Without
,hese men of courage and discipline in
The defense of principles, Delaware would
aever have become Republican State;
Without them Delaware cannot be de-
lended and kept in the Republican line.
II they quit fighting for Republican
principles, if they desert, OF fall i'll their
places, the long fight and the victories
ought and won for naught, and Re
publican rejoicing over those victories
won becomes farcical.
1t will be conceded that the hope OF
he Republican party in Delaware, Of any
party, anywhere, organized for Il worthy
purpose, depends upon its sturdy, deyot
ID and unyieldinn advocates and de
lenders. 10 find out who are these ad
locates and defenders Of the Republican
party principles in Delaware, it is only
necessary to read the roll call Of the
Assembly On II Senatorial ballot. The
onion Republicans are always III line
voting by argument and for Il purpose
they vote deliberately and every vot,
