Description
Excerpt from The Republican Party: Its Origin, Necessity and Permanence
The rule Of'' Principles, and not men is hardly applicable to a man whose life now bears the sacred seal of death, and whose name is the synonym of principle yet I do not hesitate to say that our cause is best appreciated in its precise objects and aims, Proud as we may be to tread where John Quincy Adams leads the way, there is a guide of more commanding au thority found in the eternal law of Right, and the concurring mandate of the Con stitution itself when properly interpreted, which teaches the duties of a good citizen Such is the guide of the Republican party which, I say fearlessly, where most known, will be most trusted, and which, when understood in its origin, willbe seen to be no accidental or fugitive organization, merely for an election, but an irresistible ne essity, which in the nature of things must be as permanent as the pretensions, moral and political, which it seeks to con strain and counteract.
