FOR VICE PRESIDENT:
Schuyler Colfax,
Os I SI) IAN A.
KKt’l HI.HMX I*l.ATf'OKltt.
The National Republcau party of the United States,
assembled in National Convention, in the city of Chi
cago, on the 90th day of May, 1868, make the following
Declaration of l*rtnciples :
lft. We congratnlnto the country on the assured •m -
cesa of the reconstruction policy of Congress, ai
evinced by the adoption, in a majority of the States
lately in rebellion, of Constitutions securing equal civil
aud political rights to all, aud regard it »s the doty of
the Government to auKlaiu those institutions, and to
prevent the people of such States from being remitted
to a state of anarchy.
2d. The guarantee, by Congress, of equal suffrage to
all loyal men in the South was demanded by every con -
sideratiou of public safety, of gratitude and of Justice,
aud must bo maintained, while the question of sutfiage
In all the loyal States properly belongs to the people of
those States.
3d. We denounce all forms of repudiation as a na*
tional crime, and the national honor requires the pay
ment of the public indebtedness, in the utmost good
faith, to all creditors, at home and abroad, not only
according to the letter, but the spirit of the laws
under which it was contracted.
4th. It is due to the labor of iho nation that taxation
should be equalized and reduced ns rapidly as the na
tional faith will permit.
sth. The national debt, contracted, as it has been, for
the preservation of the Union for till time to come,
should be extended over a fair period for redemption,
and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of in
terest thereon, whenever it can honestly be done.
6th. That the best policy to diiuiuish our burden of
debt is to so improve our credit that capitalists will seek
to loan ns 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.
7th. The Government of the United States should be
administered with the strictest economy, and the cor
ruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and
fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly ffcr ridDnl re
form.
Bth. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic
death of Abraham Lincoln, aud 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 judicial functions; has.refused to exe
cute the laws; has 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 citizen; has abused the
pardoning pow er; has denounced the National Legisla
ture as unconstitutional; has persistently and corruptly
resisted, by every measure in his power, every proper
attempt at the reconstruction of tho States lately in re
bellion; has perverted the public patronage into an
engine of wholesale corruption; and has been justly
impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and
properly pronounced guilty thereof by the vote of
thirty-five Senators.
Dtlj- The doctrine of Great Britain and other European
powers, that because a man is once a subject, he is
always so, must be resisted nt every hazard by the
United States, as a relic of the feudal time, not author
ized by the law’ of nations, and at war with our national
honor and independence. Naturalized citizens are enti
tled to be protected in all their rights of cilizeuship as'
though they were natural born, and no citizen of the
United States, native or naturalized, must be liable to
arrest *nd imprisonment, by any foreign power, for nets
done, or words spoken, in this country, and 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 tho Into
war, there were none entitled lo more especial honor
than the brave soldiers and seamen, who endured the
hardships of the campaign and cruise, ami imperilled
their lives in the service of the country. The bounties
and pensions provided by law for these brave defenders
of the nation are obligations never to l»e forgotten. The
widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of
the people, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation’s
protecting care. *
11th. Foreign immigration, which in the past has
added so much to the wealth, development of resources,
and increase of power of this nation, the asylum of the
oppressed of nil nations, should be fostered and encour
aged by a liberal and just policy.
12th. This Convention declares its sympathy with all
the oppressed people which are struggling for their
lights.
DEMO Cl!. I 77 V CONS IS TUNC Y.
1 lie lK*»t wav to judge of the principles
of ;t political party i.> by their arts. The
Democrats claim to be the only conserva
tors of justice and the people’s rights.
They have a fatal facility for misrepresent
ing their opponents, and with the mo t
unblushing effrontery charge all their sins
of omission and commission upon their
adversaries. To read tlieir newspapers one
would suppose that all their troubles of the
last few years were the direct results of
Kepitblican rule and Republican principles,
and that such si thing as an armed rebellion
to destroy the Government had never
existed, much less that the Democratic
party were the instigators to it, and solely
responsible for every evil that followed in
its train. Vet, in spite of all its preten
sions, the people will never forget that the
party ia everywhere and always hostile to
justice, and only actuated by a desire to
secure power for evil ends, and, when once
secured, to perpetuate it.
As ail illustration in point, the St. Louis
Dimocrat refers to some late action of the
Ohio Legislature, a modern Democratic
body of lawmakers. They have recently
passed an act known as the ‘‘visible ad
mixture bill," which denies the right of
suffrage to all persons who have a visible
admixture of negro blood, and subjects
any who are suspected of partial and re
mote descent from Ham to a series of im
pertinent questions. This law was in
direct violation of the State Constitution,
as expounded by the Supreme Court. A
week or two since Judge Stephenson Burke,
of the Court of Common Pleas, charged
the grand jury of Summit county that this
act was null and void, and that no atten
tion ought to be paid to it. This, of
course, soon came to the ears of the Demo
crats in the Legislature, and immediate
steps were taken to secure the party from a
more effectual judicial decision on the
constitutionality ot the act. A resolu.
tion was introduced in the House
looking to the “impeachment" of the
Judge who dared to give an opinion
that a law panged by this immaculate
Legislature was unconstitutional. On the
same day a member of the Senate, mid the
same who was the* author of the bill dis
franchising students, introduced a bill to
regulate proceedings in the Supreme
Court. It provides that eases shall not be
taken up out of their regular order. A
the docket is now very full, this bill, it it
passes, and it undoubtedly will, must pre
vent any decision on the visible admixture
act that will be binding, until after the
October election.
Ibe intent is, as a matter of course, to
disfranchise large elasse of legal voters,
mid prevent a true expression of the will of
the people, both in State ami Nation, at
the autumn election;;, flic, infamousplnti
will prolmbly succeed, and thus one more
Instance will be recorded of the corrupt
ami villainous inconsistency of modern
Democracy. Let them be repeated, for
they nil help to tench the people that no
party is to be trusted that does not take
the immutable principles of justice for its
guide. •
si. J.
The telegram from Washington brings
intelligence tlmt Andrew Johnson has been,
virtually, acquitted iu the high court of
Impeachment—notwithstanding tho (act
tlmt when tho President, cither by blind
blundering, or from malicious obstinacy,
violated tho Tenure of-office law on the
twenty-first of February, the Senate said
upon their solemn authority'** legislators,
that he had no right or authority to re
move tho Secretary of War and appoint
an ad interim substitute. Seven Republi
cans anti all the Democrats linvo voted
since, that it was mt cause for impeach
ment. It is not likely that the considera
tions which led them to vote in this way
will bo lessened by the interval of time.
The break in the Republican line by Sena
tors who have been looked upon as leaders,
iu point of ability, makes a cover for the
defection of such ns can be operated upon
by outer inducements that have encompas
sed this trial, and thus it is unlikely that
time will work anything in favor of Sena
torial dignity.
The Democratic Senators admit the acts
charged—the insurrectionary declaration
against Congress, the violation of the
Tenure of-Ofiice art, and the attempt to
defeat the Reconstruction acts-- aud justify
them. They admit the violation of an act
by the Executive, aud the attempt to de
feat other acts. The Republican Senators
who went with them do not. deny the
insurrectionary declaration against Con
gress; they have voted that he violated
the law in the Stanton-Tbomas affair; and
they admit that he has tried to prevent the
execution of the Reconstruction acts. Thus
they admit the case of misdemeanor legally
made out. The case at law is thus estab
lished by unanimous judgment. The ver
dict after that was a matter of moral
sense a measurement of the desert of such
a crime; and this brought it into the
sphere of the sympathies.
On nil the points involved in this long
controversy between the President and
Congress, the opinions of intelligent men
are made up on the one side or the other;
and tlie quarrel is now adjourned to a
higher tribunal than the Senate-—the great
forum of the People. *
MORE JILO H7A a: 1
A correspondent of the Atlanta hXeu Era
writes to that paper from Dalton, Ga. :
It is not doubted by any one, or by either
party, but that Governor Bullock is mainly
indebted to the I'm and Governor Brown
for his election. How far Governor Bullock
would be willing to recognize this fact, 1
can't say, but beyond a doubt, such is the
case. I venture that Governor Bullock will
not repudiate these two valuable sources of
cooperation.
We “venture" to express the opinion
that the Governor elect has no idea of re
pudiating his friends, and trust the agita
tion of tin* Km is premature. Really,
though, this porpoise like blowing of so
respectable a journal is not warranted by
simple tacts. Most reflecting persons are
under the impression that the “Fifth
District" (ours) did pretty well in the late
campaign- but we're not going to blow
about it. *

Managers leave no doubt that the Whiskey
Rings of the country were largely interested
in the acquittal of the President. In three

whiskey in the United States amounted to a
trifle over £3,000.000. Jn that time the
whiskey manufactured in New York alone,
if it had paid the lax, would have yielded
more than the entire amount collected in the

answered.

Washhkjtos, D. C., May 23, 1868.
Tho long agony is over; Grant and Colfax
aro to be the Republican standard bearers
lor the campaign for the next four years.
Ihe Convention, representing the people,
ignored the schemers, who, for the last -six
month?, have been holding a roil over tho
heads ul their political associates, and very
wisely adopted a platform ot principles, and
admitted the Southern delegates, before se
lecting candidates. A few individuals who
had assume 1 the exclusive control not only
°f General Grant, hut of the whole Republi
can party, insisted tint* the nomination of
Grant should he secured first; hut, upon
reaching Chicago, their project was not lis
tened to for a moment. On Thursday alter
noon the platform of principles was received
here by telegraph. Anxious to learn whether
approved of or not by General Grant, I at
once sought an interview, when he frankly
stilted that tin y met his entire approval.
This was tin- first time lie ever openly en
dorsed Republican principles, although his
course lias leaned in that direction. When
hit attention was called to his not having
made n declaration before, and many had
been in doubt as to his real political views,
he promptly stated there had been no occa
sion for him to express any opinion before.
Grant’s reticence upon all subjects is charac
teristic ol the man of his whole life. He has
been frequently urged to express some wish
as to who should be placed upon the ticket
with him, but never has indicated any pref
erence whatever. Now he says no better
man could have been selected than Mr.
Colfax. Their personal friendship com
menced early in the late war, and nothing
lias occurred to intenupt it.
Since the announcement of the nomina
tions on Thursday, there has been a constant
stream of visitors going towards the resi
dences of Grant and Colfax—the former on
1 street, north, near New Jersey avenue,
formerly occupied by General Breckinridge ;
and the tatter, No. 7 President square,
known as the Stockton mansion, and at one
time occupied by General Sickles. At both
houses, all visitors have been received with
unaffected cordiality. Among the visitors I
have observed Democrats as well as Radical
and Conservative Republicans—many of the
former class already declare their intention
of voting the Republican ticket. The wis
dorn shown by the Convention in the
selection of candidates, and in the platform,
will unite the party in one solid phalanx
from ocean to ocean. A few disappointed
men will undoubtedly slough off, of this
number I feel mortified in being forced to
say that Chief Justice Chase is one. The
evidence of his seeking a Democratic nomi
nation, and of the treachery to the principles
he has always advocated, accumulate every
day. His position reminds uie of what
Dante says he saw in Malebolge: “A strange
encounter between a human form and a
serpent. After a severe contest they stood
glaring at each other, when suddenly both
were enveloped iu a cloud, aud a wonderful
metamorphosis began. The serpent’s tail
divided itself into two legs; the man's legs
entwine themselves into a tail; the body of
tho serpent put lorth arms; the arms of the
man shrank into his body. The serpent
stool up a man and spoke; the mau sank
down a serpent and glided hissing away.” Is
not this something like the transformation
that would necessarily take place in Mr.
Chase to bo ome the head ol the Copperhead
Democracy of the country?
Both candidates were sciciiadcd last
night, and the great*--tenth usi asm pn * vailed,
reminding one id the lnylor mid Fillmore
campaign in 1.848. Gram made his maiden
speech, and was much embarrassed at Ins
novel position. What he said, however, was
b> the point, as you have doubtless seen.
I lie lion. Mr. Dike of Maine, in introduciin
Mr. Colfax, said; “The Convention took
good care to lvllett the popular will in t.lu>
selection of Ulysses S. Grant for the first
place, and they took equally good care to
select for the second place upon that suc
cessful ticket a gentleman whose character,
public mid private, whose long and well
known services and devotion to principle
afford sufficient guarantees that ie:Ta/'/cc no
person shall Mr ike down the firs to secure a
traitorous administration /”
this lvlercnce lo the bill id iiurrison,
Taylor and Lincoln was received with
trcinet.ilous applause.
I lie siih impeachment Committee has
been engaged now for a week, in an off'oit
to ascertain whether there is any real fouti
daliou for the numerous rumors afloat as to
the bribery of Senators in connection with
the trial ot Andrew Johnson. No testimony
has yet been made public, but it is under
stood that some important evidence bearing
upon the subject has been obtained. The
publication of what purports to he testimony
iu the Copperhead papers, does not come
from the Committee, but from witnesses
opposed to impeachment, and consequently
is not reliable.
The nomination of Grant, it is believed,
will compel the Democrats to take up either
Hancock nr Chief Justice Chase. The
strengtfi of the Republican ticket is con
ceded, and a Copperhead Democrat, in
opposition,would stand uo chance for success
at all. With either of the persons named,
the lending Democratic politicians hero
believe they could make the contest a close
one. But the Democratic managers are
liken certain French family; they never
learn or forget anything, for if they did
why throw away such an opportunity as
they bad in 1.8(31? they will not have
another such a chance to regain power
during tho present generation.
It is hoped and believed that tlie next
administration will make a clean sweep of
departmental officials in Washington. At
least ono third of tho employees aro hostile
to tho Government—some of them openly
so. Whole families of this class are pen
sioned upon the Government, to tho exclu
sion of those who suffered by taking the
Union side in tlie late war.
Opinion is dividod as to what will be the
result of a vote upon the remaining Articles
of Impeachment, on the 26th. But few
Republicans feel sanguine of success, or
certain of anything, indeed, since the Into
treachery. There is some satisfaction and
consolation, however, in the fact that the
delinquents are politically dead and shorn
of their format* strength. They can never
more harm the party. The Chicago Con
volition left them no room for a middle
course and the dice. Capital.
