It is due to the labor of the nation that taxation should be equalised and reduced as rapidly as the na t tonal faith will permit. sth. The national debt, contracted, as it has been, for the preservation of the Union for ail time to come, .should be extended over a fair period for redemption, and it is the duty of Congress to red nee the rate of in terest thereon, whenever it can honestly be done. f»tb. That the best policy to diminish our burden of debt is to so improve our credit that capitalists will seek to loan us money at lower rates of interest than we now pay, and must continue to pay. so long as repudiation, partial or total, open or covert, is threatened or sus pected. ~ , Tth. The Government of the United States shonld be administered with the strictest economy, and the cor ruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for rrdiral re -Bth. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, and regret the accession of Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, who has acted treacherously to the people who elected him and the cause he was pledged to support ; has usurped high legislative and iudicial functions: has refused to exe cute the law’s; baa used his high office to induce other officers to ignore and violate the laws; has employed his executive powers to render insecure the property, peace, liberty and life of the citiien; has abused the pardoning power; has denounced the National legisla ture as unconstitutional; has persistently and corruptly restated, by every measure in his power, every proper attempt at the reconstruction of the States lately in re bellion ; has perverted the public patronage into an engine of wholesale corruption; and has beeu justly upeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and properly pronounced guilty thereof by the vote of thirty-five Senators. 9ih The doctrine of Great Britain aiul other European powers, that because a man is once a subject, ne is always so, must be resisted at every hazard by the United States, as a relic of the feudal time, not author ued by the law of nations, and at war with our natioual honor and independence. Naturalized citizens are enti tled to be piotectedin all their rights of citizenship as though they were natural born, and no citizen of the l nited States, native or naturalized, must be liable to nrtit and imprisonment, by any foreign power, for acts done, or words spokeu.tu this country, ami if so arrested and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government to interfere in his behalf. 10th. Os all who were faithful in the trials of the late w ar, there were none entitled to more especial honor than the brave soldiers and seamen, who endured the hardships of the campaign and cruise, and imperilled their lives in the service of the country. The bounties cud pensions provided by law for these brave defenders >d the nation are obligations never to be forgotten. The widows ami orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of the people, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation’s protecting care. Hth. Foreign immigration, which in the past has added so much to the wealth, development resources, and increase of power of this nation, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations, should be fostered and encour aged by a liberal and just policy. 12th. 'This Convention declares its sympathy with aii the oppressed people which are struggling for their rights. | Editorial Correspondence.] \A TIONA L REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. Chicago, May 20. The crowds in the city continue to increase, and it has become evident that Crosby's Opera House, in which the Con vention will sit, will not l»e able to accom modatc a tithe of the people who desire admittance. Much disappointment is ex pressed, and much pressure is made upon tlie delegates to obtain tickets of admis sion. Each delegate is furnished with two tickets, tor himself and for any one he chooses to invite, and it is said that as high as fifty dollars have been paid for a single ticket. The Convention was called to order at 12 o'clock to day, by the lion. Marcus L. Ward, of New Jersey. Gen. Carl Schura, of Missouri, was made temporary Chair man, and the usual committees were ap pointed. A most appropriate prayer was made by Bishop Simpson, of the M. E. Church, at the opening of the Convention. The question as to the admission of the unreconstructed Southern States came up incidentally upon the claim of Colorado to be admitted. Colorado is still a terri tory, and was kept from becoming a State bv the veto of President Johnson. It was claimed on one side that Colorado was still a territory, and the Southern States were treated a. territories by Congress, therefore, that neither were entitled to be represented: on the other hand, it was asserted that Colorado and the excluded States would all he in a condition to vote at the next Presidential election, and, therefore, they ought to be admitted to participate in the selection of the candi - dates. The whole matter was referred to the Committee on Credentials, who re - ported that those States and Territories having delegations here should be admit ted to vote in the Convention. Tilt; Committee on Permanent Organiza tion reported the name of Governor Joseph Hawley, of Connecticut, for permanent Chairman, with a Vice President and Sec retary from each State, lion. Foster Blodgett is the Vice President, and Hon. O. G. Wilbur is the Secretary, chosen for Georgia. The Convention being now fully organ ized, will proceed with tin; nominations to morrow. There is not a shadow of a doubt that General Grant will be nomi nated without a dissenting voice. The impatience to nominate him is so great that two or three attempts were made to day to procure a nomination by acclama tion even before the Convention was per •manently organized. If any prolonged contest arises, it will be upon the Vice Presidency. From present indications, Schuyler Colfax will receive the rnnnina. tion. The enthusiasm which prevails here lias been seldom surpassed. The failure of impeachment serin* to have encouraged the party to greater exertions instead of daunt ing them. If the Democrats can scare up any where a candidate sufUciently popular to make an interesting contest, the coming Presidential campaign will lie one of the most exciting on record. As fur as we can glean from the reports of delegates lu re, Grant will carry every Northern and Western State, with the exception of Ken tucky, and perlitps Maryland. He will not need the Southern States, though greet exertions will lx> made to carry them, and the sinews of war will be lil>crnlly pro vided. . C ' A MEMORABLE DA The twentieth day of May, IStJH, will l>e remembered as an era in thu Nation's life. The dominant party of the republic met in council under the solemnities of a c risis sueli as no country ever before has seen. They came together fresh from the people, whose prayers and whose counsels were sounding in their ears, as the echoed voice of God, who accomplishes His purposes among nationalities through human agen cies. They came from the seaboards of two oceans, separated hv thousands of leagues of prairies and of mountains — they gathered from the bleak regions ot the North ami the tropic fields ot the South, to designate the rulers of a couti nent instinct with the life ol forty mil lions of people. The destinies of unborn millions hung upon their deliberations. The lessons and experiences of eight years of unexampled vicissitudes were pressed into a day; and the transitions from uninterrupted peace to the horrible events of fratricidal war, followed by the thou sand disorders of conquest anti reconstruc tion, were all weighing in dread respond - bilitics upon them. Themselves true to the progress ot events and the onward impulse of over whelming exigencies, the delegates were painfully alive to the active and threaten ing aspects of enemies banded together by the infamous league and corrupt purpose to overthrow the Government, and still more painfully alive to the treachery of professed friends, who had been trusted only to betray. In solemn recognition of that Providence which sways the destinies of men, the Divine guidance was invoked by an appointed servant of God. That prayer was signally answered. Wisdom was given them in superlative degree, and the wonderful harmony of their counsels and their acts demonstrates that they were not left to human direction alone. For the first time in eight years, in any true sense, the North and the South, the East and the West, met together in one accord to act for the common good. Good men had predicted a “ pentccost ot freedom,” when tongues of fire would be given the disciples of justice and free dom. To day we can chronicle the new baptism of patriotism. With one heart and one voice the nation’s representatives have virtually selected the next President of the United States in the person of Ulysses S. Grant, and millions of hearts have been thrilled by the lightning flashes that open a sure pathway out of tlie terrible gloom that had overshadowed us. Already the great national victory is won by the unanimity of these conven tions, military and civilian, at Chicago. The battle-cry rises front myriad voices mingling as one. The standards are full high advanced, and borne by leaders tried and trusty. Invincible hosts will rally around them from every village and every hamlet in tlie land. Victory advances to meet them, and the establishment of peace js sure. The great questions of the time have been settled—the stability of the government is surely established. From this time faith in the Republican party will become consolidated, and all the glorious fruits of years of conflict will be eventually gathered in ripened perfection ! IMPEA CUM EX T. The voting on the Impeachment vs ill probably be resumed to-day. In any event, impeachment is not a “lost cause.’’ To have escaped impeachment by barely one vote less than two-thirds, if that be the final result, is to be morally convicted. The people will stand by the overwhelming majority in the House that voted for im peachment. They will stand by the thirty-five Senators who voted “guilty,” as against the nineteen who voted “not guilty.” It may seem possible that twelve Democratic Senators, with certain precon ceived political notions in accord with those of Andrew Johnson, might regard him as innocent of any very grave misde meanor, but it will be hard to convince reflecting men, of sufficient capacity and intelligence to sit as jurors, that the seven “recreant” Republican Senators could fairly come to the conclusion dictated by their votes, on an unbiased consideration of the law and the testimony. Tlie facts are all plain and palpable. The law will seem equally so to the common sense of men not entangled in the technical meshes of special pleading. But the Trial is by no means as yet over. It is anticipated tlmt the Second Article will receive one or more votes not given for the Eleventh—and it remains to be seen who of those voting for the latter w ill turn back on his record. * Tiik Wobk Bkkoui: Us.-—The trans cendent interests entrusted to the Hcpub lican party are those of human liberty and the national existence. The Declaration ol 'TO and the Constitution of the United States are together to be made good. We are to abide one people, and all free, lie established and reassured nationality, on the basis of equal rights, is the object of Republican effort. Never can there be true pence in the land till this object is gained. To this object 'the hearts ol the people are true. The present lirst duty ol the Republican party is to reassert, with clearest tones, and with fullest emphasis, its cardinal principles, and to give to the breeze its standard inscribed with them alone. This done, harmony and energy should lie the watchwords. The ranks should close up anew for a more determined light than ever, and we should enter upon the Presi dential campaign with an organization perfected and vigorous beyond precedent. In the spirit and conduct of the campaign the National Convention has given the key note one wliieli shall kindle anew the tires of patriotic confidence and cntliu si asm - On ant, the synonym ol victory! OUR PLATFORM. The Platform of Principles adopted by the National Republican Convention, at Chicago (published in our columns this morning), fairly presents the issues upon which the canvass is to be conducted, and which are vital to the maintenance of a just and honest government. It is worthy of tlie men who have been nominated to stand upon it: worthy of the men who made it; worthy of the people who are expected to vole for it. Thus with the best men for our candidates, and with righteousness embodied in the platform and emblazoned on the banner, the people may, with confidence, be called upon to work vigorously and steadfastly for Grant, Coi.fax, and Victory. • DELEGATES EIIOM GEORGIA.

Truth. —The Executive DepartmenUof the Government of the United States has an instinctive tendency to monarchy. - N. )’. Repress. It is not often that so much truth appears in an Opposition press. Under the administration of Washington and many others, the “tendency” was not so “instinctive”—-in fact could not be per ceived : but when the “Moses” of the tories had settled upon his “policy,” his “ten dency” to a monarch’s prerogatives was very clear, and has been, we regret to say, lully sustained by such papers as the Express. His first step, defying law, and claiming Judicial functions, has already been taken, and apologists for bis course anil those of his Senatorial defenders are already at their vain work of attempting to overturn public sentiment.

THE SIGNS <>F THE TIMES. Mn. Editor: Party interests aside, tlie times are big with events. Proscription is madness, and woe, increased ten-fold, awaits the people of this section, unless the opponents of this madness can kill, extir pate, eradicate, the influence now sought to be exercised over the masses by design ing demagogues—an influence that is at once sensual and devilish. These self styled Hunkers are of all men tho most Radical—first and foremost in denouncing the people of the North for associating policies with religion ; the Hunkers of the South tire the sternest advocates of that folly hero. You favored your readers, Mr. Editor, in publishing the “ Beautiful ” editorial, which eminated from the brain of “ Sir Oracle " of the Macon Journal. The policy it marks out is, in loto, the policy advocated by the penny-a-liner of Augusta. Let them rock on, Mr. Editor: they are doing your cause valiant service. They arc daily driving into tho Republican ranks the staunch men of this State, some of whom have been, in times gone by, deceived by these same demagogues. “Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mud,” was a favored maxim with the Latins. To this day, there is something in that adage; and I would tremble for this distracted section, did 1 not cherish the be lief that the objects of these ill-coneeivetl things and this proposed social, religious and mercantile ostracism, will rise superior to these earth-born, grovelling, bush-whack ing tactics. Bo it the privilege of these infuriated ranters to urge upon tho people the adoption of whatsoever policy they please, let the Republicans, the Reconstrue iionists of the South never condescend to such meanness. Rather let our weapons of warfare he facts, arguments and high minded appeals, stated, urged and made in dignified, elegant language, I toll you right will prevail, notwithstanding the machinations of the evil disposed. If those who battle for the right, avoid opprobrious language, the scirrilous attacks of proscriptionisu will prove harmless. Our policy has been to proscribe no man for opinion’s sake ; we must stick to that policy. If tlie “all respectable” will not design to recognize you, wlint matters it ? Tell me, are they not accustomed to treat you ns strangers, except on election occa sions? 1 hese sell righteous men—methinks I see them at their festive boards, discussing tlie question of “spoils,” and snecringly refer'ing to the audacity “poor men” have displayed in seeking office. The canaille, tlv v call them—the canaille, should make their living in the sweat ot their brows. But these “Sir Oracles” ami penny-a-liners, ami their fol lowers, will get to the end of llu-ir rope after awhile. Why, ere another moon has waxed and warn and,, numbers of these very men will bee seeking appointments at the hands ol Governor Bullock, and their strongest plea will be that, in appointing them to office, the Governor will immortalize him. But the Governor will be content to leave Off their "im" and “iw»,” and trust for immortality, as to reputation, to the good lie will accomplish for the Slate. Patience, lieconstructionists of Georgia. March with your foreheads to tho sky, and you will outlive and overcome the senseless denuiK Millions new being heaped upon you. May 25, 1808, Or,DRAM. i 11E NOMINATION OF GEN. QIIANT AND COLFAX. Reception of the News at the Capital. now tuk nominees received the news, Washington, Mar 21. Soon after the assembling of the Conven tion, dispatches began to come to various Senators, members of the House, and news' paper men, giving prognostications concern ing the Vico Presidency. About 1 o’clock, a telegram was reeoived making the simple announcement, “Grant nominated at the instance of Gen. Logan, by acclamation.” This news was expected, and took nobody by surprise. The interest centred in the Vice Presidency. Although the House was not in session to day, Speaker Colfax was in his routn at the Capital at an early hour. About 2 o’cl6ck, Speaker Colfax began receiving dispatches from the Hon. Wm. Orton, President of the Western Union Telegraph Company, who is at Chicago. The first few ballots were not encouraging, hut tlie New York men in tlie Speaker's room assured him that when Governor Fenton was dropped, their State would go for him. The telegraph messengers kept bringing in dispatches every few min utes, which were opened by Mr. Colfax with nervous eagerness, and read by him self and a half dozen of his friends simul taneously. As the contents of each dis patch were made known, the crowd in tho Speaker’s room—all of them evidently Collax men—became elated or depressed, according to tlie tenor of the news. The results of the first, second, and third ballots wore received and read, Senator Wade still loading; but knowing politicians in the room prophesied that Colfax would surely win in tho end. The fact that nfter tho first ballot Colfax gained on Wade was taken us a good omen. With the announce ment of the third ballot catnc the prophecy lront Mr. Orton that Colfax would bo nominated on tha»tifith ballot. The reading of this was received by three hearty cheers from all in the- room. Colfax himself brightened up, but still was not over sanguine. He has seen enough of political life to know the uncertainty of the action of Conventions, and so he thought it belt to wait until he was well out of the woods. When lie read the result of the third ballot he sat down at his table, and amid the turmoil and enthusiasm around him, wrote a hurried note, giving the result thus far, which he despatched to his mother by special messenger. lie said to those arouud him, ‘ She is so anxiuiMi to know, and 1 do not like to keep her in suspense.” Scarcely had tho letter beeu written and carried away when the telegraph boy entered with another dispatch. It was from Mr. Orton, and read as follows : -» Chicago, May 21, 18(58. “//cm. Schuyler Colfax, Speaker of the House of Representatives: Accept my congratulations upon your nomij nation for Vice President on the fifth ballot. The ballot was declared amid the wildest enthusiasm, and gave evidence of universal s itisfaction. Wm. Orton.” This was greeted with an outburst of ap plause, and a general rush was made to shake the lucky man by tho hand. A scene ot general joy aud rejoicing ensued. Mr. ('olfax, always bashful and modo3t, seemed completely overcome. His friends congratu lated him again and again. Members, em ployees of tho House, pages, and Iriends cheered until the Speaker’s room resounded again and again Thou they went out into the hall of the House and cheered repeat edly. To tho dispatch of Mr. Orton, Mr. Colfax replied as follows : ‘ft . IFa*. Or too, Prceitletrl Tel. Cos., (Jhie-.tyo : Thanks for many telegrams you have sent me in day. The expression of confidence in me by the Convention of tho party I love so much fills me with gratitude, which my feeble words are unable to express. Schuyler Colfax.” HEX. grant's NOTIFICATION. Gen. Grant received tho announcement ot his nomination at his headquarters five minutes alter it was made at Chicago, from the Hon. Win. Orton. The dispatch read : "You have just been nominated by accla mation." Gen. Grant received it with his usual composure. It was something which he evidently expected. Soon after Secretary Sianton and Representatives Hooper, Ames, I’ile, and Blaine, called and congratulated him. He exhibited very little feeling, and asked who was going to lie the candidate for Vice President, 1 and v.-hat was the nature of the platform. Then, handing cigars around to the company, h: lighted one himself, and sal down and began to smoke with as much nonehalence as if nothing happened particularly interesting to or concerning him. During the day lie re ceived duplicate copies of dispatches which were sent, by Mr. Orton to Colfax and Wade. Secretary Stanton also received copies of these telegiams. General Grant read them over carefully, and seemed pleased with the last dispatch, announcing the nomina tion of Mr. Collax. As soon it was known that General Grant was nominated, his staff, a majority of whom were in tho building with him, came in and congratu lated him. In the evening, Grant, liko Colfax, held a sort of impromptu reception, at his residence. The crowd, however, was not as great as at the residence of Colfax. Among the callers were Secretary Stanton, Senators Morgan, Cockling, Chandler, and others, and Representatives Washburno, Luflin, Robertson, Ketchum, and others. General Grant received everybody cordi ally, and expressed his entire satisfaction with thu platform as far as lie had any knowledge of it.

No on- doubt ; that llie Era is a very ite ii plaid- 1 journal, despite its stereotyped blowing, which,perhaps, is simply a question of taste. Wo have heard it intimated, how ever, that much of the “vitality” alluded to escaped during the unfortunate spell in dicted upon our Atlanta neighbor which caused him so long to keep “an open rear.” i♦ • Minium on a Railroad Train.— A shocking murder was committed on the pas senger train on the Nashville and North western Railroad a few days ago. It seems that two men, Newsom and Phipps, got into the same ear on their return from Nashville, where they had been to look after a law suit, in which one was a complainant and the other defendant, aud a quarrel ensuing between them, Phipps drew a revolver and tired upon Newsom throe times, the shots taking effect in his back, killing him in stantly. The murderer then gave the bell rope a violent jerk, and before the other passengers in the ear could recover their presence of mind, rushed to the platform and jumped off, milking his escape before the conductor was aware of what had oc cnrreil.
