Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Synopsis of Political Issues, for the Presidential Campaign of 1872: For President, U. S, Grant
The Republican party never surrenders. It may, in time, be overcome by its political foes; but under no circumstances will four millions of self-thinking voters surrender their well matured convictions to a faction so small that an omnibus will hold them all. It is the main security of our Republic that it rests not upon the shoulders of a few political leaders, but upon the self-thinking masses; it is the most encouraging fea ture of Republican progress, that it has educated the people to a pornt, where public men only become the mouth pieces of the popular will. And as long as the people remain the master of their own destiny; refus ing to follow leaders, however brilliant, when they are actuated by personal motives; thinking for themselves and weighing all public question by their own calm judgment, the Republic is not only safe, but will be come the model government of the world.
