pressing need of the hour that imld, jndi

with our eracd. -itoilid there explain our

Free Thought, F. •)• Speech am! a Free
Pic livery part of this Republic must
be open to the discussion of principles
and measures. This must be sustained, as
a cardinal point in our creed, at any and
••very hazard. Efforts to intimidate the
hnmble and ignorant voter on the part of
the Southern planter, must be met with
the spirit of freemen, and the determina
tion which a just cause sanctions.
In time past, tin- Republican party lias
.struggled against the unjust reproach of
being sectional in its aim- and character,
though it - purpose* and it- mean of effec
ting them were such as the fathers of tin
Republic approved. It was accused of
beiag governed by selfish motives, and of
'ffcsirim: to aggrandize tio North at the
expensi of the South. Its adversaries,
having Hit-poyver to silence and to crush
all opposition, denied all di-cu-siou. anti
overawed even freedom of thought in fif
teen State* of the Union. It is, therefore,
now ami imperative duty, which we owe
to our party and to ourselves, to embrace
the first opportunity of truly representing
to tho*e States how consistently we have
contended for the inten sts, welfare and
freedom of the whole Union.
The overthrow' of Slavery and the Re
union. and the enfranchisement of the
freedmen. rendering tbi* overthrow se
cure and filial, have happily vindi, ated
i»iii ♦ course and organization : but it. is
mce-saty to stamp the conviction of onr
loy.-.ty and ’idciity to tlie right, irtisjKf
tive of set tion or ran:, upon the recou
str u b-d States. For tlie fir-) time in many
years, the enthusiastic followers of our
ting ami eonfessort of our faith are there
taking part in the popular gatherings,
and in many of the Southern States we
have rc iam to believe that they form a
decided, majority. Tio v are. however,
without organization, amt lack the ro
be-ion and discipline mces-ary to success.
Three-fourths of the Republicans have
never voted, and have no practicable
knowledge ot the mean.- )vhereby the
populai will is expressed With’many
of them, the habit is fixed, of remlerine
