As to a defense of the whole republican party. which he has seen fit to arraign. there need little be said. We have before us today a living and useful illustration of the wise forethought and broad philanthropy of the men of 1776. Today it is the boast of the republican party that every man born in this country or naturalized. no matter what his condition in life. his race. or color. is an American citizen. and. as such. is entitled to equal rights before the law. and to a participation in the elective franchise. The republican party. which has achieved much for the country. has wrought no greater work than this. It is a proud day for us.
