The, United States of America is a na tion not a league ; by the combined workings of the National and State Governments, un der their respective constitutions, the rights rxt otfnrv citizen are secured at home and pro- v T . ... r . I tected abroad, ana tne common win 2. ; Te Republican party naa preserve Dartv these governments to the hundredth, ar versary of the nation's birth, and tHfey uuui- are ornhndimfinbi of the srreat truths spoken 1 LAV w w . 1 I H if. all mfn arfiCrpftted eaual. I rnai inev are cuuuwtu uj n haf thfw certain inauenaDie ngnis, auioug wuicu oic life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness ; that for the attainment of these ends, gov ernments have been instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent rfho nrornwl Until these truths are cheerfully obeyed, or, if need be, rigorously enforced, the work of the Republican party is unfinished. 3 The permanent pacification of tneSouth ern section of the Union and complete pro tection of all citizens in the free enjoyment of all their rights, are duties to which the Republican party stands sacredly pledged. The power to provide for the enforcement of the principles embodied in the recent con- stitutionai amenamenvs is v1 v"1 amendments in the Congrtss of the United States, and we declare it to be the solemn obligation of the legislative and executive departments of the government to put into Immediate and vigorous exercise all their constitutional powers for removing any just cause of discontent on the part of any class, and for securlLg to every American citizen complete liberty and exact equality in the exercise of all civil, political ana pumic riffhts. To this end we imperatively de- mand a uongrwsauuu v. v, whose bourage and fidelity to these results are placed beyond dispute or recall. 4.ilij the first act of Congress signed by President Grant, the National Government assumed to remove any doubUf its purpose to discharge all just obligations itothe pub iic creditors, and solemnly pledged its faith to make provision at the earliest practicable periodfor the redemption of the United States notes in coin. Commercial prosperity, pub lic morals and national credit demand that thi? promise be fulfilled by a continuous and steady progress to specie payment. 5. Udder the Constitution, the President and heads of departments are to make nom inations for office ; the Senate is to advise and consent to the appointment, and the House of Representatives is to accuse and prosecute faithless officers. The best inter ests of the public service demand that these distinctions be respected, that Senators and Representatives who may be judges or ac cusers should not dictate appointments to office- The invariable rule for appointment should have reference to the honesty, fideli ty, ahd capacity of theappointtees, giving to the party in power those places j where har mony and vigoref administration require its policy to be represented, but permitting all nfhftra t he filled bv persons selected with sole reference to the efficiency of the public service, and the right of all citizens to share in thei honor of rendering faithful service to their country. 6. We rejoice in the quickened conscience of the people concerning political affairs; will hold all public officers to a hgid respon sibility and engage that the prosecution and punishment of all who betray ojfieial trusts shall be speedy, thorough and unsparing. 7. TLe public school system of the several States is the bulwark of the American Re public, and with a view to its Security and permanence we recommend an amendment to the Constitution of the United States for bidding the application of any public funds or property for the benefit of auy schools or institutions under sectarian control. 8. The revenue necessary for current ex penditures and the obligations of the public debt must be largely derived from duties upon importations which, so far as . possible, should be adjusted to promote the interest of American labor and advance the prosper ity of the whole country. 9. We reaffirm our opposition to further grants of the public lands to corporations and demand that the national demain be devoted to free homes for the people. . . 10. It is the imperative duty of the Gov ernment to modify the existing treaties with European governments that the same pro tection that "shall be afforded to the adopted j.uxvs uau i;ii,iz.eu LUiti is given to tne native born, and that all necessary laws should be 'passed to protect emigrants in the absence or power in tne states tor that purpose. 11. It is the immediate duty of Congress to fully investigate the effect of the immi gration and importation of Mongolians upon the moratand material interests of the coun try. i 12 ; Thi Republican party recognizes with opiuva.1 .iuw bub:iaiuitttadvance recently made toward the establishment ol equal rights for women by the many important wu.fcBdinonts effected by Republican Legis- m u res in tne laws which , concern the per- other t,al and property relations of wives, moth- - e.lc and widows, and by the appointment , . and election of women to thn Riinfrintanri $6.25 $1.50 2.15 1.10 a general depression has fceen esperiencea in STBONAGQ and N EALSO dr ALL GROCERS AND TOOCONIST IN THE UNITED ency of education, charities, and other pub lie trusts. The honest demands of this class of citizens for additional l rights and privi leges and immunities should be treated with rrapectful consideration. . f. 13. The Constitution confers upon Con eress sovereien power over the Territories of the United States for their government (I and in the exercise of tins power it is tne right-and the duty bif Congress to prohibit and extripate in the; Territories that relic of barbarism ploygamy ; and we deman jsuch legislation as shall secure this nd and the supremacy of American institutions in ail the Territories. j , 14. The . pledges which the nation has given to our soldies and sailors must be ful filled. ; The grateful people will always hold this? yho perilled their lives for the coun try's preservation in the kindest remem brance. - ' . j . 15. We sincerely Idepiecate all sectional feeling and tendencies ; we therefore note with deep soliicitude that the Democratic party counts, as its chief hope of success, upon the electoral . vote of a united South, secured through the efforts of those who were recently arrayed against the nation. We invoke the earnest attention of the country to the grave truth that a success thus achieved would reopen sectional utrife and Imperil the national honor and human rights. - - 16. We charge the Democratic party as being the same in character and spirit as when it sympathized with treason : with making its control of the House ofBepre of the nation's recent foes ; with reasserting and applauding in the national uapitai tne w . . ..." .. sentiment oi unrepreseniea repeiuon, , wun moting uonreaerate soiaiers to tne iront; with aeiiDerateiv nronosmi? to reDuaiate tne tha nlierhted faith of the government : with w.j . .rvr.

We warn the coun try against trusting a party that is alike unworthy, recreant, and incapable. 17. The National Administration ' merits commendation fori its honorable work in the management of domestic and foreign affairs, and President Grant deserves the continued and hearty gratitude of the Amer ican people for his patriotism and his im mense repvice is war and peace. .Republican State Committee.
