its fourth era, was summoned to deal

upon the ideas, principles and policies of
h? ltepubliean party, and upon the
measures and charac ter of the National
Administration. To these responsibili
ties, and to the gravity of theso issues,
?our thoughtful consideration is invoked,
u the present juncture it behooves the
ltepubliean party not t forget its origin,
nor its history. Ami 1 the difficulties
that beset it, ami the responsibilities and
lariors, which the needs of the country
i the new and untried condition of af-
ment. Dilferences of opinion ou matters
so recon lire and complex, in an organi
zation ambraciiig so many men of larire
intelligence, trained to habits of inde
pendent thought, expression, and modes
of action, are inevitable. They are, in
deed, to be expected and desired, for
from such freedom of discussion, truth
is elicited and proper modes of action are
deduced. The men, therefore, who
stood so firmly while in a minority, amid
the denunciations, arrogance, and scorn
ot power; tne men who met. the stern
bill is an important financial measure,
which contemplates the saving of inter
ost upon the public debt by the exchange
of outstanding six per cent, bonds for
those of a lower rate of interest, to the
amount of S2o,"00,0) a year. While
a reduction of taxes transfers the bur
den of the. debt from one year to anoth
er, from one ccnoration to another, a re
duction in the rate of interest is an aet
uiil saving to the country, not only for
the nresent generation, but for all time.
And yet theso important mi l beneficial
financial r.ieasores.JSinten.led to lighten
t!;e public burden, received little coun
tenance and support from the Demo
cratic party, whoso respon.-ioiiities for
the war, its losses, its expenditures, its
debts find its taxation, arc fearfu.ly large.

Not f initios, buf hich. noble, and
glorious is the record of the Republican
party. History will note it, and the
world will gratefully remember it. In
the light of this brief review of its
achievements, lor patriotism, liberty,
justice and humanity, should not repub
licans, one and all, cling to their grand
organization, rectify its iiilsfgk.es, cor
lect its errors, and keep it true to its
past traditions, and in harmony with the
enlightened and progressive spirit of the
age? So doing may they not perpetu
ate their power until their brnifioent
principles shall 1 ccomo the accepted
policy of the nation ?

ORIGIN OF THE PARTY.
Recurring to their origin. Republicans
will remember, when the land was the
theater of a stern and irrepressible con
flict between the demons of slavery and
caste and the spirit of liberty and
equality, when the slave power held great
interests and powerful organizations in
its grasp, and ruled the nation with im
perial sway, that the founders of the
party, instructed by passing events, with
convictions deepened and z.al quickened
by the teachings of history and of Holy
'Writ, and inspired by the deathless
words of the patriots, statesmen and he
roes of our earlier time, ro-e to the exi
genciesof tin hour, opposed the haughty
ambitions the maddening jci-sions, the
cruel prejudices and the disortrnaiziicr
itheories of the dominating majority, and,
although long overborne by nuiabursT
still fctrug-jUid on -am fd jeers, insults.
jnehtf, blows ami assassinations, till, un
Jer the lead of Abraham Lincoln, they
achieved success and grasped the scepter
fi political power.
THE SECOND ERA.
Entering upon its second era, appal
ling responsibilities at once arose. The
slave masters, in tne pride ami arrogance
of power, instantly plunjred the nation
into the fire and blood of civil war. Rut
the Republican party rose with the crisis.
It raised money in unstinted measure,
.organized vast armies, created powerful
navies, fought bloody battles, crushed
the most gigantic rebellion of all re
corded history, and saved the nation's
Jife. It was then, amid the clash o
arms, that the Republican party saw
that slavery was the relentless and un
;appeased foe of the country, was the in
spiration, the heart and soul of that
civil war, and that its death would be
,the annihilation of the rebellion, the
.unity of the Republic, and the develop
ment of free institutions. Against cow
ardly fears, selfish instincts, and unreas
oning passion? and prejudices it pro
nounced the doom of that hideous and
horrid system of human bondage, though
it was upheld by the aggregated inte
rests of three thousand million dollars,
jiedged about by the accumulated pas
sions and prejudices, prides and ambi-
ot seven gencra'ion?, and
conclusively that the
Prussians are making heavy inroads into
trench, territory. The Prussians are
making a move which will prove very
disastrous to them should they fail in
consummating their designs, but which

men who grappled so successfully with
and pregnant issues ot
reconstruction, lilted helpless lreedom
to eitizenslrp, exalted tli.-m to the
heights of civil and political lights and
privileges, and made the nation free in
fact as well as in name, should not shrink
from the less momentous and less em
barrassing iuestion now before them.
WORK TO BE ACCOMPLISIIF.H.
Patriotism, principle, the continued
existence, reputation and renown of the
Republican party, and a duo sense of
selt-respect and pride of character de
mand that Republicans now, as in the
past, should have faith in their capacity
to carry forward to completion reforms
so auspiciously begun. It came into be
ing as an organization of reform and
progress, and should lie ever ready to
accept t he living issues ol t he hour and
march abreast with the spirit of the age.
Unaided it has fought t lie battles of re
form wit h constancy an 1 courage. Nor
in the work still before it can it hope for
aid from those who still chliS to thi tra
ditions of jhe past', pride thrm
eje!FC3 ort" their conservatism, and who,
during the conflicts of the past twenty
years, have resisted all reform, and
mourned over every effete, ; and hateful
abuse as it felL If there are Republi
cans who are weary of the ascendancy of
a party which h:is achieved sush crown
ing victories, who are tired of the re
sponsibilities of power, and would relin
quish it to other hands, they shoul ro
mcniber that there are none worthy to
accept it. Tor surely they cannot fail to
see that the Democratic party, by its
policy during its closing year:s of its
power, and by its blind and unrelenting
opposition to reformatory measures while
out. of power, even now, as if smitten by
judicial blinddess, refusing to accept the
Constitutional amendments as fixed and
final, has demonstrated its utter incapaci
ty for such a trust.
PRESIDENT GRANT'S ADMINISTRATION.
Accustomed to success even against
fearful odds, and underrating, perhaps,
the intrinsic dilficulties of the pending
issues, many Republicans looked to Gen.
Grant's administration with high raised
expectations. Of courso they have been
impatient, ami not always satisfied with
results. But while their expectations
have not been fully realized in the action
of either the President or of Congress,
much has been achieved, enough, at anv.
rate, to satisfy them that the ditlic i't I -rjir,,

They have evidentlv
the best of it so far, with favorable pros
pects ahead. Metz is completely cut off,
and Bazaine has been checked in three
dillereut attempts to retreat. The Pa

which prevents unfavorable news going

We saw an illustration of woman's
rights yesterday.
In a certain houue upon a certain
street, a certain man was sweating over
an uncertain wash-tub, for it stood on a
three-legged stool, that looked inelim d
to topple over. His shirt sleeves were
roiled up to his armpits, and his nanus.
were very red and his jhee was very long.
We saw him puil up from the hot, steam
ing suds, a certain garment that sug
gested a woman's most sacred article of
apparel. As he held it a moment in the
air, it seemed to us that his lips moved in
imprecations; and we are quite sure that
when it went back into the tub it went
with a little more force than duty to the
garmnt rcouired, though it must be
confessed it showed very visible effects of
the terrible heat and wretched dust of
dog-da' service.
A woman sat in the window, and from
her general appearance, which was that
of one waiting for clothes to be washed,
and from the dogged manner in which
she was observed by the man at the tub,
we concluded that she was none other
than the wife of the martyr, who, in
stead of keeping her bed, as would have
been most modest and appropriate, had
been constrained to come forth, on ac
count of rebellion on the part of her
little man.
Her face, which was stern an uninvit
ing, was resting on her hands, and her
hands were supported by her elbows rest
ing on her knees. Her position in the
window brought her feet about twelve
inches from the floor, and well into view.
They were not by any means delicate,
and were covered by a pair of cloth

at toe, winch it is sale to say were pur

The war ended, the rebellion subdued,
i-Ui bondmen emancipated, the Republi
can party entered upon the third era of;
its eventful history. Th-vigh eomjuered
b arms the rebels did not accept the
just, humane, and generous ideas of the
victors, nor did thv return to their
proper allegiance and ioyaity to the Gov
ernment, but still bemoaning the ''lost
cause," they remained unsubdued in
will and unrepentant in spirit and pur
pose. Though made free, tho bondmen
were homeless, without property, with
out employment, subject to the cruel
laws against free people of color, which
had always disgraced Southern legisla
tion, and in tho midst f a people exas
perated by defeat and maddened by
their loss of power still longer to hold
and oppress. Property was swept away,
industry disorganized, society disinte
grated, and States were without lawful
governments.
TIIE WORK OF RECONsTiUXTION.
Upon the Republican party devolved
ihe tak of reconstruction. To its in
trinsic difficulties were a iled the intense
hostility of the ex-rebels, the lingering

system, the timid counsels of conserva

Great interests and powerful comhiua
lions sought to so reconstruct the South
as to place the power in the hands of the
late slaveholding class, and leave the
helpless freed iron in the abject condition
of practical serfdom. Seldom in history
has there imposed upon any body of men
a work of greater magnitude or difiieulty.

V tempted to do so. Rut they resisted the
temptation ot ottieial power ami patron
age, the threats of Executive dictation,
and all other adverse influences, and
with sublime fidelity and courage ad
dressed themselves to tho herculean
task. To aid in reorganizing disordred
4 industries, caring far, protecting, and
instructing the emancipated bondmen in
': he new duties of their chanced condi-
(i tion, the Republicans established the
Freedmen's Bureau, which, by the wise
i 'i expenditure ot a tew millions of dollars,
"j dicf an incalculable work for order, peace
) and th rehabilitation of Southern soci
4 ety. To reconstruct rebellious States on
I the solid basis of equal rights, they gave
"i puffrage to the freedmen in the recon
, ptrnction measures. To secure citizen
Jtj ehip and civil rights to a wronged and
t" hatel rare, they proposed and adopted
'1 the Fourteenth amendment, and enacted
' i the bill of Civil Right-. To establish bv
prec-iate me currency, retono at.uses in
the civil and military service, and main
tain order in the States lately in rebellion.
Ry the combined action of ihe President,
the Heads of Depai tin-'iits, Congress and
t!ie tlenaial of the Army, many abuses
have been corrected and many reforms
inaugurated. President Grant's Indian
policy is bringing forth e vidences of its
justice, its humanity and its wisdom.
Ihe iirm, just and gonerous policy ot the
.Aununisiration toward tiie urates lately
in reLclIicm has brought much f order
am.lseeurity, and crimes h ive largely di
minished. In the interests of economy
the services of thousands of employees,
both civil and military, have been dn
pensed with. The currency has been a p
predated in value bj tens and scores of
millions of dollars, and the national
c redit has been largely strengthened.
THE RKVENTES.

;?o7,0 M.ooO in the first fiscal year of J
Gen. Grant's administration. In the!
last, sixteen month i of Air. Johnson s
adiuinistiaton he removed all Republi
cans appointed by .Mr. Lincoln and oth
ers who adhered to the principles of the
Republican party, and appointed Demo
crats where he could do so. The char
acter of the appointments, and the do
moralizing influence which Ids opinions
and conduct had upon them, were seen
in me loss ot scores ot millions ol dol
lar of revenue in those years. The
large gain in the collection is mainly due
to the determined and avowed purpose
of Gen. Grant to secure an honest ad
ministration of tho revenue laws, and
the appointment of Republicans to of
fice earnestly devoted to his economical
policy.
