IHtD For PKESIOENT Or thk United States: ILISSES S. GKWT. FOR VICE PRESIDENT: N< hi vLicit Colfax, OF IXDfAXA. itivtM iti.K %\ i*i % noun. The National ItepvhUean parly of the Fulled States, Assembled in National Convention, in the city of Chi eago, on the MOth day of May, 18fiS, make the following lvd»r*tion of Principle* : Ist. We congratulate the country on the assured suc cess of the reconstruction policy us Congress, as evinced by the adoption, in a majority of the States lately in rebellion, of Constitution* Mcurtng equal civil and political rights to all. and regard it ns tho duty of the Government to sustain those institutions, and to prevent the people ©f such States from being remitted to a state of anarchy. 2d. The guarantee, by Congress, of equal suffrage «-• all loyal men in Ihe South was demanded by every con - Migration of public safety, of gratitude and of justice, and must be maintained, while the question of suffrage In all the loyal States property belongs to the people of those States. Sd. We denounce all forms of repudiation ns 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 ami abroad, not only according to the letter, but the spirit of the laws under which it w«s contracted. 4th. It is due to the labor of ihc nation that taxation should be equalised and reduced as rapidly as the na tional faith will permit. sth. The national debt, contracted, as it has been, for the preservation of the Union for all time to come, should he 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 don*. ©th. That the best policy to diminish our burden of debt is to so improve our credit that capitalists will seek to loon us mouey 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, ami the cor ruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for ndiral re form. 8tl». Wc profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, ami reeret the accession of Andrew Johnson to llie Presidency, who has acted treacherously to the people who elected him and ihe 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 power; has denounced the National Legisla ture as unconstitutional; has persistently ami corruptly resisted, by every measure in his power, every proper attempt at the reconstruction of the Stales 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. ffth. The doctrine of Great Kriuin and other European powers, th.it because a man is once n subject, he is always so, must be resisted at every hazard l>y the United States, ns 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 piotected in all their rights of citizenship ns though they were natural born, and no citizen of the United States* native or naturalized, must be liable to arrest and imprisonment, by any foreign power, for acts done, or wonts spoken, in 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 war, there were none entitled to more especial honor than the brave soldiers and seamen, who endured the i hardships of the campaign and cruise, and imperilled their lives in the service of tho country. 'Hie bounties and pensions provided by law for these brave defenders of the nation are obligations never to be forgotten. The widows and orphans <>r 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 lias lidded so much to the wealth, development of 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 .»ll the oppressed people which are struggling for their rights.

RESTORATION Ihe t.iith of the Nation is pledged to admit tile hite insurrectionary Slates so | soon us the conditions proposed by the I Congress shall have been complied with. I The people of the South o understand it ! the people of the North so understand it— the Congress so umh islands it,and Congress will stand to its pledges. When impeach ment is finally disposed of, if not before, the Senate will act. There need be no apprehension as to wli.tt that action will be, Sensible men agree that the development of material prosperity is an important clc ment of reconstruction. Let peace and security be reestablished, and the tide of Northern capital and enterprise will flow into the South. Our agriculture will re vive on anew basis; our commerce will spread and prosper: new towns and vil lages will arise, while the old ones take a newstart of improvement; and the cx “robel,” now impoverished and believing himself outraged, will suddenly discover that all tlm change has been for his benefit —that be has profited by the abolition of slavery -tlmt his property has trebled and quadrupled in value —that new chances and opportunities of enriching himself are crowding around him and that free labor, after all, is a blessing and not an injury. The South is mnv asked to listen to the voice of reason. Gentlemen of the sunny clime, tile natural resources of this section of country are great All it requires is the repression of the spirit of violence. Let order and security be maintained, and prosperity is sure to follow. WHO SHOULD HOLD OFIIOK IN CKO HO l A { This question seems to be much agitated at this time in our State. We can see no reason for the furor. It may be well under stood that the right men will be found and put, in flic right places, if human .judgment is able to accomplish file work. It would bo altogether unreasonable to suppose that a lukewarm quasi friend of the administration soon to be inaugurated, could receive the same sort of considera tion as one who stood his ground like a man, and fought bravely, against fearful odds, for the success of the Constitution and the Reconstruction Acts of Congress and for Governor Bullock, at the recent election. We say it is unreasonable; yen, wc believe it would be damaging to flic Republican party, and not for a moment to be thought of. I lie rewards arc certainly inuiieasiiruhl v <l'te to the veterans who carry the scars, ami not to the new recruits, who never smelt the powder or heard the roar of the guns and the whistle of the bullets in the lute war for the Right. While we know there are very many clever men even in the ranks of the "so called." who wo would trust, to do justice and equity in all eases and to nil parties, on the llenelt, or in any other eiipaeity, ns ollieiul . ivc cannot, get. our consent to see a single one of them receive an appointment of any kind, feeling as we do the unjust and false and unfair means used against tlic Republican party, the abuse and unification of the best men in tlic State, which was and is the practice of the lenders of the Democratic party, “so-called,” even to this day. It may lie that some may have conceived the mistaken notion iu fact, we have seen appeals of the sort made—that the Repub lican party should Im) generous (?) It will be —and it should Iks— to its friends, its real friends; not to those who were open and avowed enemies, nor again, to those who iu secret endeavored to stall, while openly pretending to be friends;nor again, to those who with “open rear” occupied the position of the rifleman, who tired so as to “hit it it should be a deer and miss if a colt.” Neither of these classes, we are sure, have any claim upon the Republican administration. THE I‘HIMIEIISIIIP. The political “situation” in London, has become very interesting. Disraeli re fuses to resign ; he clings to the Premier ship with a tenacity worthy of liis race. Notwithstanding his signal defeat upon the Discndowment question, he did not resign his place according to the usual custom in such instances, but astonished political friends and foes by liis continuance in office. The contest between the two great leaders in the House ot Commons was brilliant and exciting. On the one side was Disraeli, flushed with liis late pre ferment, and determined not to be baffled just after the achievement of the hope of years. Supported by the Government and the Tory interest, lie felt that no efforts of the Opposition could wrest frem liis hand the sceptre lie had won. On the other side was Gladstone, thirsting for power— a model leader of the Opposition. Life to him had been a continual conflict for place. When he saw Disraeli assume the Premiership as the reward for success fill leadership in the House of Commons, he felt that to defeat the new minister on some test question would be to secure the ascendancy in England after long and weary years of patient waiting. The golden opportunity came in the question of the discndowment of the Church in Ireland—and before Disraeli had been fairly seated in his new office, he found himself defeated by the brilliant roup <le etat of liis skilful adversary. According to custom, all England then expected the resignation of the Tory Cabinet, and the investment of Mr. Glad stone with the Premiership, ns the lender of the party that had just won such a signal victory. But the new Premier “wouldn't"; he had not reached liis position so easily that he was willing to yield it because of one defeat, and he determined to enter the li'ts again as the antagonist of his rival before he would yield the palm of victory, minister determined to “ tick" he dial hinged the crdicism of his opponents and remained steadfastly in office. Since then, tlie gauntlet thrown down bv Mr. Glad stone wa- taken up by Ihe Premier. On the Scotch Reform Bill, giving seven new member, to Scotland, ihe Tories, who opposed it, were defeated by the Liberals who favored it. Thus a second time since his ministry, Mr. Disraeli was warned of the uncertain teimre-of office and of the slight hold of any man on the popular favor and support. And now, for the third time, the cable dispatches advise us of tke defeat of Disraeli, after a severe contest, over the question of passing the Irish Church hill to a second reading. A division was called for and resulted in the defeat of the ministry by a vote of 812 against “58, or a Liberal majority of •> t. The Opposition demand that the Premier shall immediately resign or dissolve Parlia ment. lint he lias a fair precedent for not immediately dissolving Parliament : in December, 1783, the second William Pitt became Prime Minister, with a majority of seventy three against him. and persevered, during ten weeks of debates and defeats, in continuing in office, without dissolving Parliament. -‘Gradually the opposition melted away like snow on the mountain tops, and when a general election did take place, a very large majority- in favor of Mr. Pitt's administration was tin: result.” Tut; Nio.vr Vick President. In the nomination of Srin;vj,i;it Comma. the argu ments of locality yielded to considerations of his fitness and worth. From all the other candidates, delegates turned to him. as after all the best, man to be put on the ticket with Grant. Neither men arc sec tional in sentiment or affection. Both arc national in their principles and services. It makes little difference from what State cither of them hails. Their patriotism includes the whole Union. They will be President and Vice President of the United States. Neither Illinois nor Indiana will monopolize the attention or the allections ot cither. I hey Are not chosen for their locality.

Is hr ever “hungry " ? * The Raxerupt Law.— An opinion is abroad that the fifty per cent clause has been postponed from the first of noxt June to January 1, 1809. This is a mistake. A bill providing for an extension of the full benefits of tho not to tho latter date passed the House of Representatives some weeks ago, but it lias not passe 1 the Senate, and it is fur from certain that it will do so. Many Senators are known to be opposed to the extension, believing that all who are unable to pay fifty per cent, of their debts should be compelled to go into bankruptcy prior to June Ist. As the law now states, any bankrupt who files liis papers on or after June Ist, will be emu polled to procure the written assent to bis discharge of the majority of liis creditors, i t number ami in value, who have proved their claims, unless liis assets pay tis l i per cad. <>J the. debts proved gainst liis estate. This, of course, is after the costs have been paid; and us these will not be less than ten per cent., in ordinary eases, tho assets of a bankrupt who will then obtain an unconditional dis charge must be quite large. This will be the more evident when it is remembered that no assignee can close up and convert into cash an embarrassed estate at the full value of the property. There will always he sacrifices ami forced sales. l’ructieally, tlioii, after June first, unless further legislation is had, tho Bankrupt Law will cease, except as an agency on tho part of creditors to compel failing and dishonest debtors to make full and impartial distribution of their property. For this purpose it is and will bo permanently very valuable. But voluntary cases in bank ruptcy will be few, and the registers, hitherto so busy, will have ample leisure for other duties. [Communicate 1. HO IF DOES THE CONSTITUTION ALIST PRAY? That it does pray, there is internal evi dence. Its words are so sweet and loving— its thoughts are so tender and humane—its spirit so Christ-like—its every utterance so manifestly marked with the signs ot lull, plenary inspiration, it must be a praying paper, and its editors praying men. But what kind of prayers does it offer ? Evidently it does not pray like other men. Its thoughts, wishes, hopes, aspirations are not like those of the great mass of praying people. Its strictures on the prayer of tho Chaplain of the House, iu its issjje of the 23d, give full proof that its prayers are not in sympathy with the wants of other men. After quoting from the Rev. Doctor’s prayer tho words: “May ail things bo so done as to vindicate the honor and dignity of Amer ican Statesmen. May no one so vote as that his children shall blush for it when they stand by his grave. The Lord preserve every one from doing anythiug by which the interests of the country might be en dangered, or the cause of liberty put in peril,” it proceeds to make tho following com ments : “Although Boynton, sweet angel, prayed to the House of Representatives, he was all the while glancing askew at the doubtful Senators. We trust, for the sake of posterity, that Boynton is a bachelor. It is a sad heritage for children to know that their progenitor thought so xvell of himself that lie undertook to lecture Almighty God, th'' lace of his pocket divinity,'ami Qucqueg drove a spike into his fetish, wc have had nothing so awful as Chaplain Boynton— Reverend by brevet, of Messrs. Donnelley. Washburn: and Forney.” Elegant diction; Maeauley could not have done better. What is there, we ask, about this prayer which should challenge such words of ensure? What is true progress? Is it not the out pouring of a burdened spirit into the ear of Heaven? I’he telling God our wants and ■ kin: him to supply them? Did not the Chaplain ot the House, when lie uttered llie prayer quoted above, pray just as Christ taught us? “give us this day our daily bread, Whatever you mad to day, ask lor. And could the Chaplain of the House on th.it eventful dav, when a question was to he decided, which was baking the nation from the centre to the circumference could ain in, called by the representatives of the people to olli r prayer for ihe guidance and welfare ot the nation, make no :iTl uoioi i to it? Was i: a question so totally iirelevant 10 our wants ami tile wants ot llie republic, that lie could touch it on no side with prayer. W e cannot account tor I lie criticism ot the Constitutionalist on any other theory than that it feels itself and tin cause so manifest ly in the wrong that nil genuine prayer inu-t make against it. Had the Constitu tionalist been Chaplain, 1 suppose it would have prayed at that time which tried men’s souls, “ter the hringin ; iu ot the Jews and the Conversion of the Gentiles.” It would have told the Lord how great sinners the Jews were, Hid thanked Him that the Con stilidioiutisl was not like other men. And it it came any rear r to the linn s, it might have put up a fervent prayer lor the success of the “whi key ring.” But, doubtless, its great burden at ,11 limes it. —“Depart from US, U 1 oid! lor we desire not the knowledge of thy wins.’’ * # [ Communicated.

If I were permitted to “venture” any opinion on the subject, J would say that, in my judgment.

The truth is, that tho great mass of tiie white men in Northern Georgia who voted for Bullock were for tho Union before the war, for the Union during the war, and voted for tho Union in April.
