Addross of the Republican Congreesional Commiitee. To MIE HEPUBLICANS OF YAR UNITED HTARES:— ] The Executive and Legislative Departments of the nattopal government and two-thirds of the State governments have becn committed to your keeping. Buch power carries with it grave responsibilities. The people, as ts their right, Wilk hold you to @ strict accountability for the exerejse of this great trust, Elections wre soon to ee hela for the national House of Representatives. ‘Thene elections will determine the politica! com- plexion of the popular branch of Congress, ‘they will, too, determine the political character of several State governments, And these results will be accepted as the verdict of the people upon the ideas, principiea ann policies of tie republican party, and upon the measures and character af the national administration. To these responsibilities, and to the gravity of these issues, your thoughtful consideration 1s invoked, In the present jyncture it bchooves the repub- ican party not to forget its origin nor its Distory, Amid the diMfculties that beset it, and the responsibiliies and labors which the needs of the country in the new and untried condition of affaiirs imposes, it should remember that it was born of the nation’s necessities, and thus far it has grandly met the exigencies for which it was formed. Having passed triumphantly through three great eras of its history, it Is now summoned to enter upon its fourth, Gathering, therefore, Inspl- ration from past successes, it should grapple hope- fully and with upshrmking confidence with the du- es of the present and futtire.” fea Recurring to their origin republicans will remem. bar, when the land was the theatre of a stern and irrepressible confiict between the demons of slavery and caste and the spirit of liberty ond equality, when the slave powet held great interesig and powerful organizations in its grasp and ruled the nation with imperial sway, that the fonnders of the party, instructed by passmg events, With SoNVictions deepened and zeal quickened by the teachings of history and of hoiy writ and inspired by the deathless words of the patriots, statesmen and heroes of our eartler time, rose to the exigencies of the hour, opposed the haughty aubitions, the maddeniug passions, the cruel preju- dices aud the disorganizing theories of the dominat- ing majority, and, although long overborne by num- bers, still etrnggled on amid feers, Insults, mobs, blows and assassinations, till under the lead of Abra- ham Lincoln they achieved success and grasped the sceptre of political power, Entering upon its second era appalling responsi- blilties at once arose, The slave masters, In the pride and arrogance of power, instantly plunged tae nation into the tlre and biood of civil war. But the republican party rose with the crisis, It raised money In tnstinied measure, organized vast armies, created powerful navies, fought bloody battles, erushed the most gigantic rebellion of ail recorded history and saved the nation’s lite. It was then, wuld the clash of arms, that the republican party saw that slavery was the retentless and unap- peasable foc of the country, was the insptration, the heart and soul of that civil war, and that tts death would be the annihiiation of the rebellion, tie unity of the republic and the development of tree institu. | tions. Againstcowardly fears, selfish instincts and unreasonlog passions and prejudices 1t prononnced the doom of that hideous aud horrid system of human bondage, though it was upheld by the aggregated interests of three thousand million of dollars hedged about by the accumulated passions and prejudices, prides end ambitions of seven generations, and mtvenched within the social, poittical and ecclesiastical organizations and a tions oflife, Ay aseries of executive aud legisi tion acts it broke the chains and lifted from (he depths of chattethood up to the summits of manhood four anda half millions of hapless bondsmea, and stood before the nations with their riven fetters in one haya bud then tjle deeds to freedom in the other. : abate ‘The war ended, the rebellion subdued, the bond- men emancipated, the republican party entered upon the third era of its evoutfal history, Though conquered by arius the rebels did not accept the just, hamane and generous ideas of the victors, nor aid they return to thely proper allegiance and loyalty achieved; enough, a6 any rate, to satisfy them that the diMeout problems will be wrought out and the hoped Tor results accompih hed, General Grant came Inia omice tain mviolae the public saich, vednce the nattonal debs, dimtwish txalion approclate tbe currency, refora abuses im the eis! and milltary service aid maintain order in the States lately in reneilion.

The character of these ap- poinuments and the demoralizing influence which his opinions and conduct had upon them ‘were seen in the loss of scores of millions of dollars of revenue in those ycars, The large gaia in the collection ts muinly due to the determined and avowed purpose of Generai Grant to secure an hon- st adqmiuistration of the revenue laws an] the ap.

Progress of Lnbor Reform in Massachusetts. The State Ventral Committee of the labor reform party m Massachusetts held its frst meeting prepa- ratory to the fall campaign in Boston last Saturday, It was voted to call the State Convention at Worces- ter on Thursday, the Sth of September.

Seldom in story has there been im- posed upon apy body of men a work of greater mag- nitude or dificulty, The republicans might have shrunk from aud avoided it. They were sorely tempted to do so. But they resisted the temptation of omicial power and patronage, the threats of ex- ecutive dictation and all other adverse infuences, and with sublime fidelity and courage addressed themselves to the herculean task. ‘fo aid in reorganizing disorderea industries, caring for, protecting and instructing the emanci- pated bondimen in the new duties of thelr changed condition, the republicans established the Vreed- men’s Bureau, which, by the wise expenditure of | afew millions of dollars, did an incalculable work for order, peace and the rehabilitation of Scnth- ern society. To reconstruct rebelitous States on the solid of equal rights they gaye suiirage to the freedmen In the reconstruction measures, ‘To secure citizeaship and civil rights to a wroaged { and hated race, they proposed and adopted the fourteentn amendment, and enacted the bill of elvil rights. ‘o establish by irreversible guarantees equal political rights and privileges, they adopted the fifteenth amendment, aud a3 a crowning act for treedom they provided by law lor we enforcement | of theso amendments thus newly ensirmed within the constitution. ‘hus, the republte | cans, against the sternest opposi:ion, ayainst | m! tation, against appaliing obstactes, have st led on until the rebel States, reconstructed on the of impartial Mbercy, have been restored and the sublime doctrines of the Declaration of {n- dependence made assured and practical realitic3.

Having achieved this grand work, having passed through thes¢ three eras of its hisrory, the repul con party, entering on its fourth era, was sum- moned to deal with questions relating to the natioual deb,t the currency, finances and taxation, to reforms in the miujitary, naval and Indian service, and whatever remaining burdens and legacies were left by the war. Concerning these gnestions there are apparent diversities or mter- esis and real differences of opinion, The sointions of some of them are embarrassed by grave dillicul- tes, They require time as wel) as financial skill and practical statesmanship for thelr adjust. ment, Differences of opinion on matters go recon- dite and complex, in an organization embracing so many men of large intelligence, trained to habits of independent thougut, eepion and modes of action, are tuevituble, ‘They are, tndecd, to be expected and desired, for from such freedom of discnssion truth is elicited and proper modes of actton are deduced. ‘The men,\therefore, who gtooa so firmiy while in @ minority, amid the de- nunciations, atrogance and scorn of power; the | men who met the stern exigencies of civil war | with such heroic courage, who assailed the slave | power aud extirpated the slave system; the Men who grappled so successfally with the perplex- and pregnant issues of reconstruction, lifted helpless freedmen to citizenship, exalted them to the heights of civil and political rights and privi- leges, and made the nation free in fact as well as in name, should nos shrink from the less momentous and less rege ph juestions now before them.

If there are republicans who are weary of the ascend- aucy of a party which has achieved such crownto; victories, Who are tired of the responsibilities o: power, and would relinquish it to other hands, hey should remember that there are none worthy to accept it. For surely thoy cannot fail of see that the democratic party, by its poy during the closing year of its power, and by its blind and unrelentiag opposition to reformator' measures while out of power, even now, as if smit- ten by judicial blindness, refusing to accept tho con- stitutional amendments as fixed and final, has de- monstrated its utter incapacity for such a trust. Accustomed to success, even against fearful odds, and underrating perhaps the intrinsic diff. cuitics of the pending Jjssues, many republi- cans looked to General Grant's administra- tion with high raised expectations, Mf course they have heen impatient, and not always satisfied with resuits. But while these expectations have not been fully realized in the action of either tho Frepident ox of Congress, much hag been sional alatrict throughout the State.

The cbild, whose parents rdside in the lower part of thé village, became ill and rapidly grew worse until it sauk into what was supposed to be death. The body was prepared for the grave, and the parents Were prostrated with the deepest grief over the loss of their little one. Among those who visited the corpse was a woman whose ac perceptive faculties dis- covered to her certain appearances which indi- eated life. She applied cold water to the lips, which, after a time feebly auswered to the re- viving gana, and the proper restoratives being used the child was subsequently brought to cou- sciousness, and js now almost restored to a new life.
