Excerpt from Democrat and Republican: Slavery and Freedom, Past and Present Crises

The contests in the past, which have unfortunately been different, still come up before the minds of the people at the present day for justification or condemnation. So far as any party action is concerned in the past, as it may be in future, a righteous judgment cannot be justly taken or made thoroughly useful without a trial upon its merits of record, and such justification must follow as shall make it a safe guide for sufi'ragists of the present day as well as for posterity. As Republicans, or as Democrats, we shall examine the evi dence, and must again for the time abide the verdict of the people through their present judgment of merit or of party principle involved.
