He felt as if we had cause for congratulation, ae Republicans, and could say with all reverence that we should thank God and.

take courage. There should be, there can be. no faltering in the Republican party. The Republican party, was formed from a necessity common to all its members, and the reasons which led to its erganiEstion will hold it together, lie was proud to say that he was an abolitionist when there were not enough ot them for milestonas; and he thought there was occasion for pride, when States began to contest claims of priority in the organisation of the Republican Party. He went an to allude to a scene in the First National Re-publican Convention at Philadelphia, in 1856, which nominated He was a delegate to that convention and sat in obscurity till Chandler, of Michigan, claimed for that State ae honor of taking the lead in the formation of me party.
