Towanda, Thursday, May 13,1869.
WiIfiII:WVTURE OW THE RICPUBLICIAN
, rum&
- ,
. The- great,, controlling ,diff,e4rAcle.
between the two antagdniatic parties
of the country, for, many * years, has
been the question of Proodom, or ha-
man bondage.: -T'he-- institution of
Slavery, by creating a vast monied
and political interest, consolidated
the South, and cieatedibti, huclens,
as it Was. the strength, 'for many
years, of the Democracy. The intol
erable deniands for the extension and
perpetuation of the peculiar institu
tion finally aroused the freemen of the
North to i deteimine4,and succesifol
°ppisWlt to' ita arrogant assomp•
titans. The election of Itscotar, was
followed by the alaveholders'rebel-
lion; ands!) the miglresnits, which
were the concomitan i ta of :that strug
gle—the emancipation proclamation,
civil rights, and finally, universal
suffrage.
To ratify the Fifteenth Amendment,
conferring universil suffrage, 're:
quires the affirroativ votes of twenty:
eight States. 'New tirork iti the twen-
ty-first State that has . approved
Seven more are needed. Con
necticut, Rhode Island, New Hamp
shire, and Vermont will ratify it as
soon se their Legislatures assemble,
while, by the recent act of Congress,
Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas:4tre
required-to ratifrlt ere they can be
fully restored to the Union. That
they will do- so during the coming
summer or fall is beyond doubt.—
These seven States make up the re
quired number for incorporating this
amendment into the Constitution.
When this shall be finally accom
plished, it would - seem as if the pro
tracted controversy' concerning Sla
very was ended, and that the mission
of the Republican party was accom;
pfished, and certain short-sigh ed
timid partisans are trembling with
apprehension lest the cycle has been
furnished and fearful that- demorali
zation and disorganiation will take
place. If there had:'been nothing in
the past; but the overthrow and suc
cess of parties and the parcelling cut
of offices—evenhad there been noth
ing in the protracted and sad strug
gle, but the advancement of political
dogmas—we will confess there would
be a probability or plausibility in the
theory that the mission of the Repub
lican party was accomplished, that it
must perforce be dissolved, and re-or
ganized with some new name, and
for the advancement of some Lew
principles or purposes.
Although the startling occurrences
of the past. few years have crowded
each other in quick succession. Al
though the cause of Freedom and
Equal Rights, has made a progress
usually occupying centuries of time
and labor,—although the fullness of
fruition seems to await the struggles
of those who . have. championed the
good cause—we cannot admit, as we
see notbing to justify the assumption,
that the mission of the Republican
party has been fulfilled, and that it
will dissolve, and become a thing of
the past.
In our judgment, the Republican
party has yet much to aceompliah.—
The shackles have fallen from the
limbs of the slave, his rights hake
been asserted and secured, a broader
and higher recognition has been giv
en to the principle of Equal Rights
and Freedom everywhere? The op
pressed of all nations have' been lift
ed up by our example. He mat b.e
blind indeed, or wanting in faith, who
does not see that a power higher
than political parties is manifested in
the extraordinary occurrences of thu
past few years, beginning with the
madness of the slaveholders, and con
tinning to shape the destinies of the
Nation, until slavery was utterly ob
literated.
The Democratic party has never
byen, nor will it ever become, the par
ty of Freedom. It was ruled and
controlled by the Slave 'Oligarchy,
and it is to-day as essentially and ut
terly pro-slavery as it was before the
Rebellion. It cannot be trusted to
carry out the provisions which have
been recently adopted,to fit the freed.
man for the new order of things, - as
it would readily and willingly con
sent, were it possible, to revive the
old, regime, under which the Democ
racy was so . successful, and under
which they erjojed so many--privi;
leges. To believe that the Democrat
ic Party is destined to have control
of the destinies of this country at this
time, is to doubt the goodness or wis
dom of Providence. It cannot be,
that the guidance of the past is to be
withdrawn, and the good ship to be
allowed to wreck just as the haven
of security is in sight, nor that the
prayers and hopes of the good every
where are to be unanswered.
The Republican party has yet, to
assure the fruits of the struggle of
the past few years.—lt has to guard
as a precious birthright, the privil
eges and concessionsit has wrung
from tyranny and power. Millions of
human beings, degraded by years of
bondage_ and oppressiOn, lap to be
elevated in their moral and iiitellectu•
al natures, and protected from the
rapabity and greed whichwould again
enslave them. A noble work or a
higher mission never devolved upon
any party. It may be, that in the
progress of events,defeat and disaster
will be 'deserved,_ and experienced ;
but that the party is to be preseive4

Ma. Because a few Republican pa
pers are not altogether satisfied with
Gen. GRANT'd appointments, because,
per; hance, he has acted independent
ly, and contrary to their advice, a
great hue and cry is raised by the
Democracy. that a split in the Repub
lican ranks, has already commenced.
Mistaternent follows mistatement, un
til the thought is fathered by the wish,
and it appearsas "disruption" "dis
satisfaction" in the party. . We
beg here to remind these democrats
whei appear so solicitous-for the wel
fare of the Republican partY and the
present administration, that neither
the party nor the,ponutry are diasat
isfied with the President. None of
the appointees have yet had opPortu
nity for a fair trial, and until such op
portunity has been given, the masses
are not going ,to condemn. Herein
they differ widely from the flippant
and ctrons politicians andjournal
late of the rebel school. We should
say, then, that the newspaper is.sad
ly in want of a theme which deliber:
ately -parades the momentary out
bursts of a few disappointed office
seekers as- significant of revolution,
disruption, or anything else than a
not unnatural groial.
THE NEW Mune LAW The Adju
tant General is continually pestered
with letters.of 'inquiry from all sec
tions of the State as to, the terms of
the .supplement to the general militia
law paSsed at the last session of the
Legislature, and he wishes us to state
briefly and distinctly the previsions
of that act.
Under the law, as it now stands,
the ,tax imposed upon citizens duly
qualified to be members of a militia
company who are not members is fif
ty cents per annum. The act of last
session provides "that the -minimum
for all volunteer military organiza
tions, of all arms •of thZ service, is
hpreby fixed at thirty-two non-com
missioned officers and privates—ex
cept when called . into actual service,
when the minimum shall be the same
ail is now required by law."
This act is approved by the Gov
ernor, and under its 1 provisions we
hope to witness an active militaiy
epirit among our citizens.
g , Secretary Botrrwm, instead of
selling a million or two of gold every
month ; has ordered the Assistant Sec
retary in New York to purchase gov
ernment bonds to the , amount of one
million dollars per week. This will
assist very largely in appreciating
their value. It will tend to cause a
rise in Europe, while at the same time
it will throw a constant stream of
gold upon the market at regular in
tervals. This will, therefore, work
to the advantage of the country in
two ways—first, a steady supply of
gold, which must prevent the' great
fluctuations attendant upon a- spas
modic supply ; second, . a constant
withdrawal of a certain amount of
government paper from the market.

his work. The other day, wanting
to purchase goods with which in part

who did so. We may rest assured
for once the Government has got a
bill of goods in which no dishonest
commissions, no whisky and' cigars,
no hotel bills, no theatre tickets, no
carriage-hire or private steklings,
were charged. Who will say that we
are not progressing.

claiming as one of its cardinal prin.
ciples "the greatest good to the
greatest number.". But that such is
the _fact is beyond dispute. Every
means calculated to prevent illegal
voting and sharp fraud and Corrup
tion in election, secures the loudest
denunciations of the \ organs of the
Democratic party. This dislike of
the purifying process is •
hot confined
to any particular locality, and forces
the conclusion that the party oppos

tion.
A few days slice the New York
House of Representatives passed a
new registry law by a vote of 42 yeas
to 39 nays, every negative vote and
not one in the affirmative being Dem
ocratic. This law was introduced es
pecially to check illegal voting, and
to prevent, as far as possible, the re
currence of such frauds as those that
disgraced the city of New York last
fall. Yet there was not found a sin
gle Democrat to reverence the'prin
