Why is it? Because they have de-

Why, brother Thurman, on the

WHAT Tue REPUBLICAN PARTY nAs


DONE. .,..s


But you, my Republican friends,
who have stood so like a rock a.
gainst all these denunciations of
slavery and wrong, and have ney-
er swerved from your integrity,
still you are to be a praise in the
name of the nation in future years
your children and your grand
will rise up and call you
blessed. You are making NO com
mon history. You see how men
look at these revolutions. See to
what end they tried war. Was
ever more glorious consumma-
ton to any political controversy
than that which contributed in
striking the shackles off of FIVE mil
lions Of human beingsp That is
what you have done. You have
taken by the hand the poor and
needy. You have taught them
their rights. and placed them on
the firm rock of our Government,
TO participate therein, and to be
part and parcel thereof. l ItelIyou
you may search the history of the
Revolution all over, and you will
no where find any thing SO glori-
Gus as that. That is what we have
attained.


WHAT IS YET TO DE ACCOMPLISHED.


We have got almost 10 the END.
We have almost placed the weak
the helpless, and those who were
trampled down. upon the rock of
eternal justice and security. Will
you falter in the last step? Win
you hold back when you have but
one more effort to make? Is there
any man here who contemplates tax
ing a step backwared, when by go
doing he will forfeit his rightto glory
in the future? You may have pref.
udice against these men, but your
glorious good reason for once must
be brought to triumph over any
such feeling to enable you to en-
dure to the end. For the great
promise is made not 10 him that
begins and takes hold of the plow
and looks back, but unto him that
in the good and glorious work per-
severes to the end. Applause. 1
know you will do it. 1t is the last
account that the Democracy are to
have with US. You know they
have been nibbling at the heels Of
the negroes for twenty years. 1t
has been their only capital in trade.
