FRIDAY mornekji M * T ' 9 ,SIW p or pKEHIDBNT Ok thr United States: !ULYSSES S. GRANT. FOR VICE PRESIDENT: SCHUYLER (OMW, OF tSniASA . RKI'I IIMCAK H.mOKW. The National Republican party of the United States, assembled in National Convention, ta the city of Chi cago, on the 30th day of May, IStfct, make the following Declaration of Principle* : l»t. We congratulate the country on the assured suc cess of the reconstruction policy of Congress, aa evinced by the adoption, iu a majority of the States lately in rebellion, of Constitutions securing equal civil and political rights to all, and regard it as the duty of the tioTernnient to sustain those institutions, and to prevent the people of such States from being ftmitted to a slate of anarchy. 2d. The guarantee, by Congress, of equal suffrage to all loyal men in the South w as demanded by every con sideration of public safety, of gratitude and of Justice, and must be maintained, while the question of suffrage in sll 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 fsith, 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 ihe nation that taxation should be equalized and reduced as rapidly as the na tional fsith will permit. sth. The national debt, contracted, as it has been, for the preservation of the Union lor all'time to come, should be extended over a fair period for redemption, and U is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of in terest thereon, whenever it can honestly be done. dth. That the best policy to diminish our burden of debt is to so improve our credit that capitalists will seek to loan us money nt 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 * 7th. The Government of the United Slates >houM be administered with the strictest economy, and the cor ruption* which have been so shamefully nursed and fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for r idUal 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; nas refused to exe cute the laws; has used his high office to induce other officers to ignore and violate the laws; bus 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 and corruptly resisted, 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 been justly impeached for high crimes ami misdemeanors, ami properly pronouuced guilty thereof by the vote of thirty five Senators. oth. The doctrine of Great Dritain mid other European powers, that because a man is once a subject, he is always so, must be resisted at 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 aud independence. Naturalized citizens are enti tled to be pjotcctod 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 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 the late war, there were none entitled to 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 tbo country. Tim bounties and pensions provided by law for these brave defenders of the nation are obligations never b» be forgotten. The widows and orphans <»f 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 iucreusc of power of this nation, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations, should be fostered ami encour aged by a liberal and just policy. 12th. This Convention declares its sympathy with all the oppressed people which are struggling for their rights. HON. FOSTER BLODGETT. The Ku lvliix men were jubilant, yester day, over the report of the arrest of Mr. Blodgett, on the 22d instant, >1 Chicago, on the affidavit of a man named Crangle, who alleged that, in 1860, Mr. B. instigated a mob in this city against him for his Union sentiments I We advise otir friends to keep cool. We have later intelligence from our distinguished le.llow-cifizen, and in due time this ‘ trick’' will he thoroughly exposed. * OFFICE SEEKERS. We w ere credibly informed on yesterday, that in a single Judicial Circuit in Georgia, there arc already no less than seven appli cants for the judgeship—front the ranks of the so-called Democracy I This is certainly strange consistency. These very men did everything possible to defeat Governor Bullock and the Constitution—worked early and late—spent time and money to defeat Reconstruction and the return of the State to the Union—and now conic begging offices at the hands of the men whom they have so villified and abused I Impudence it does seem to us—can no farther go. These are not by any means isolated eases—blackberries in June, is more fit comparison of the number. Os course, these aspirations will be duly con sidered and receive the attention they deserve. Unusual efforts, no doubt, will be resorted to by the incoming administra tion to relieve the agony of suspense of these gentlemen at the earliest possible moment. To suppose a ease, we will imagine one of tlie.se anti-Reeonstruction, anti-Conslitution, anti Relief men, up pointed to p judicial office, and a case should arise and conic before him involving the various monied points that were dis cussed adversely, previous to the recent election, by Ihe Democratic parly, what would be the decision and judgment held ! Would not self st ult ification be the result if a Constitutional decision was made by his Honor ! Would an appointee, of the Democratic persuasion, be equal to the occasion, if he fully appreciated the opinion of Mrs. Grundy ? Wclearnot and lienee our opposition to the appointment of men to official position, other than “veterans” in the cause of Republicanism. SellUYl.Kli Coi.fax The Deimn ratsknow not what to tny about the nomiiiHtion of the Printer of South I! ml. There is something magnetic in the new candidate for Vice President. He is popular.

He says to all, “There is my record ; look at it. 1 shall bo true to it.’’ This is enough ; and rt shows his great good sense- The people know General G han-t, and they respect and honor him lor his silence, as they respect and honor him for his noble (Lotts. Admission ok Southki;\ Status. —We know that General Grant and Mr. Colfax both favor the speedy admission of such States os have complied with the reconstruc tion acts, and can present acceptable Consti tutions. There are some persons, however who profess to believe the true interests of the Republican party will best be subserved by making haste slowly in this matter. The unanimity with which restoration bills have been put through the House may, it is be lieved, be a token as tho general indication of the feeling in the Senate. It scents pretty ceitain that the Senate will finally agree with tho House ill ordering anew election ill Alabama, but that the other reconstructed States will lie admitted before July. * Caution.— ls the “respectable"’ new con vert to Democracy, tip street, should chance to receive a delegate’s certificate to the Fourth of-.lulv Convention at New York* and should he not, meanwhile, be kicked by a mule nor re-bitten by a spider, Ins .should we suggest, keep a strict look-out among the Pennsylvania ibdcg ition, lest some one from that State should mike an affidavit regarding the alleged kidnapping by a Georgia General during the i.ite little diffi culty. He might, else, get into “trouble.” CtiAMiK ok Base. It is an inlere ling fact, that there is appearing among Demo crats of this section a remarkable readiness to abandon the extreme, ground they have held respecting Negro siifl’nige, and to admit that tiie freedmcivH ballots are as good as those of white men.

Governor Brown, of Georgia, stated in the Chicago Convention that there arc iarg, numbers of original Secessionists and I *OlllO - who will vote for Grant. The Republican SltUo Central Committee of Tennessee have called a Slate Conven tual to meet in Nashville on the tenth ol June, to respond to the Chicago nomina tions to appoint an electoral ticket and nomimitc a candidate for Congress, for the Slate at large. The terms of ill", seven Republican Sena tors voting “not guilty” on the eleventh article of* impeachment expire as follows: Fessenden, of Maine, IH7I ; Fowler, of Ten nessee, 1871; Grimes, of lowa, IH7I; Hen derson, of Missouri, 18(1!) ; Ross, of Kansas, 1871; Trumbull, of Illinois, 18711; Van Winkle, of West Virginia, 1869. Somebody has said that the Republicans are so elated by the action of the Convention and hy the popularity of the candidates, that they will take it out in rejoicing, uml will not work a < they ought to win a gin rious victory. This is a mistake ; they will not wait for victory to come to them, hut they will organize and work for victory, and they will achieve it. General Grant has frankly expressed his conviction that no man should he eligible to the. Presidency for more time a single term, and that an amendment of the Constitution embodying that limitation is m-eessatv to the preservation ol our Democratic institu tions. No doubt this is a sound opinion. As the matter now stands, a President is hardly inaugurated before he begins to intrigue for his re-election. The sooner this is changed, the better. The friends of Pendleton at Cincinnati and elsewhere in the West hnvo organized n committee, under the title of the "Pen dleton Kscort," to go to * ew ) ork on the day of the National Convention, in such numbers ns will adequately reflect Hie feeling ot the Went in reference to the Presidential candidate. Arrangements have been made with the railroad companies, and every facility will lie afforded to the “ members of the Pendleton Bseort” to reach New York in an inexpensive and pleasant manner. (Communicated. PROS VHI FT N. Mu. Editor; Since the late election, pro scription of Republicans, white and black, has been a favorite howl among the great “unterrified. ’ Tho party having for its prin ciples (Uod save the mark I) free speech, freo press, liberty of conscience, sic semper iyrannis, and tho Ku Klux Klan, must adopt another course, or they can never expect to gain the lavor of the Republican party— which they are trying very hard to do. The day is not far distant, gentlemen, when an inoffensive man will be able to walk the streets of Augusta sans ct peur et sans re procke, without being insulted or assassi nated simply for his opinions. Terrorism, twin Grottier of proscription, is born of the devil, and no Christian, l.e his politics what they may, will tolerate it when the day comes for it to die—and that day is not far distant, llie treacherous knife and murderous pistol will bo stricken from the hands of the so callcd chivalry ; humanity and justice will triumph over lawlessness and violence. No man can witness the sufferings of the poor black mail, since the election, without shud dering. Driven from their homes and em ployment by their friends— by the men who, previous to tho election, hugged them with huge promises—to seek a precarious subsist ence as best they might, or starve. Many of them arc starving; but that is not the worst ot it : many of them have been murdered like dogs, without any hope of being re venged on tlieir murderers. Such is the justice meted out to them by their best friends. But retribution is lit hand. Mur derers and bullies will he compelled to emi grate to their confreres on the borders, or suffer by the lianyflnan’s halter. Augusta. [Communicated. GRANT AND COLFAX. Mu. Editor: A short time since, in an article on “Conciliation," the “glittering generality" man of tho Chronicle <fc Senti nel rehearsed the numberless kindnesses which be and his associates have shown the colored people, and among uther sweeping interrogatories propounded, was this one: Have we not given them the elective fran chise? That was really audacious—to tell the “ignorant Sambo’s" that the Democrats have conferred upon them the right of suff rage, when all men know that opposition to that speciality was the hobby of the Ku Kluxites, their standing motto being, “This is a white man’s Government." So it is, but the Republicans of Georgia and the South have confidence enough in themselves anil the hallowed influences of freedom and “equality boforc the law,” to trust the ballot in the hands of the newly enfranchised, who, though they themselves (not of their own pleasure) are iguorant, have children, who will, if they avail themselves of the opportunities offered them, be prepared for the full exercise aud perfect enjoyment of every right guaranteed to them by the laws of the country. Thai “conciliation" editorial contains the gist of the plan upon which the Opposition expect to operate in the approaching Presi dential election. They intend, ns far as possible, to currv favor with the colored voters, by all possible means, and intimidate and influence white voters by all manner of threats and devices. Some of the Opposi tion are sharpers, and, to defeat them, we must he up and doing. To rest upon the laurels won in the Con stitutional contest, and become lethargic, is to deliver ourselves, bound hand and foot, over to the enemy. If iu the campaign just ended in this State wo won the fight be i ause thoroughly organized ; so we cannot expect to win the most important victory, in less doubly vigilant and energetic. All have not the gift of speech, but all cun buckle on the whole armor—all have lb" ballot and influence. Let the latter be judiciously exerted and the former (aith tally exercised, and all will ho well. Grant aud Colfax means victory. Even the New York Herald admits that the ticket is an overwhelmingly powerful one. The Democracy will be put to their wit’s end, to match it. To the people ol the South the election of Grant and Colfax means a per fectly restored Union, peace, prosperity, and happiness. That it what the masses ardent ly desire; and what they intend to have. Don’t you remember how a ranci 1 speaker “let fly" at the old men of Augusta, the night “old Boh Ridley" spoke his piece. There was something in it after all. The old men are with us. The majority ol our people have long since determined t.i vote as their consciences direct, and as their interests demand. That is a victory in itself. Suppose the voters ol Georgia had done so in 1861, where would secession have been ? But, unfortunately lor the State, and for thousands ot gallant, spirits, too many men allowed themselves to he “hull-ragged," driven into a movement which their good sense condemned us inexpedient and destruc tive. Men live to learn, and we have had a stern teacher whose instruction we shall not 3onn forget. On, then, to the front : on for Grant ami Col lax, peace and prosperity. May 2'J, 1868. Oldham.

It. is the only considerable dome of iron in the world. It is a vast hollow sphere of iron, weighing H, (100,200 pounds. How much is that? More than four thousand tons, or about the weight of seventy thousand full grown peo ple ; or about equal to a thousand laden coal ears, which, holding four tons apiece, would reach two miles njnl a half.

To every one who knows Judge Chase, this protesta tion from him must appear altogether im probable or extremely ridiculous. So it must seem to every one who ever lias known him ; for lie has been a candidate for President from a time when the memory ol most men now living runneth not to the contrary. The White House has been the pole star of his whole political life. In his own estimation ho is nothing if not Presi dent.
