Away, and its older members can hardly fail to find some pleasure and prefit ln reviewing the story of its organization and Victories. N 0 party ever had such a record. It has freed feur millions of slaves; it has suppressed the most formidable rebellion the W0111d ever saw; it has preserved and strengthened the credit of the nation; it has conferred equal rights of suf 'frage and citizenship upon all the inhabitants of this Republic, and it has administered the Government for twenty - four years With signal fidelity, honor, and intelligence.
