SATURDAY MORNING M»y 3". I***
For PBESIDENT
Or tub United States:
IM SSIS K. «UNT,
FOR VICK PRESIDENT:
StlllYLEftl COLFAY,
OF INDIANA.
iiKPinu(.%K ri ATroirn.
The National IlrpoMicnn parly of the United SUUs,
A&aerabled In National Convention, in the city of Chi
cago, on the *2tkh day of May, lHhs, make the following
Declaration of Principles :
Ist- We congratulate the country on the assured sue*
ceae of the reconstruction policy of Congress, a*
evinced by the adoption, in 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 Ctovcrnmeot to sustain those institutions, ami to
prevent the people of such States from being remitted
to a state of anarchy.
*Jd. The guarantee, by Congress, of equal suffrage to
all loyal men in the South was demanded by every con
sideration of public safety, of gratitude and of justice,
amt must bo maintained, while the question of suffrage
In all the loyal States properly belongs to the people of
those States.
3d. We deiioume all forms of repudiation as a na
tional crime, and the national honor requires the pay
ment of the public indebtedness, in the c 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 was contracted.
4th, It is due to the labor of ihe nation that taxation
should be equalised ami reduced ns rapidly as the na
tional faith will pennit.
sth, The national debt, contracted, as it lias been, for
the preservation of the Union for all time to come,
should be extended over a fair period for redemption,
ami it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of in
terest thereon, whenever it can honestly be done.
tith. That the best policy to diminish onr burden of
debt is to ao improve our credit that capitalists will seek
to loan us money at lower rates of interest thau we now
pay, ami 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 shamefully nursed and
fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for ridisal re
form.
Bth. We profoundly deplore the untimely ami 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 ami the
cause he was pledged to sup|n>rt ; has usurped high
legislative and judicial functions; has refused to exe
cute the laws; lias used his high office to induce other
officers to ignore and violate the laws; lias employed
his executive powers to render insecure the property,
peace, liberty and life of the citixen; has abused the
jmrtbning 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 iu re
bellion; has perverted the public patronage into an
engine of wholesale corruption; and has been justly
impeached for high crimes atid misdemeanors, aud
properly pronounced guilty thereof by the vote of
thirty five Senators.
ftth. 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
ixed by the law of nations, and at war with our national
honor and independence. Naturalised citizens are.cnti
tied to be piotected in all their rights of citir.euship as
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, 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
hardships of the campaign and cruise, and 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 be 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.
1 lilt. 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 tin*
oppressed of all nations, .should be fostered and encour
aged by a liberal and just policy.
l*2tli. This Convention d* i t n*. it. sympathy w ith all
the oppressed people which are struggling for their
rights.
OUR POSTAL SYSTEM.
An interest I ttfg debate occurred in the
House of Ktqirescntalives, a few day since,
on tile comparative merits of I’ost Office
and Express Companies as common car
riers.
The agent of the Internal Heroine De
partment received a large package of
stamps hy mail, and I icing subsequently
directed to return them, did so through
the same channel, but, nevertheless, the
package was lost. The department claims
that the agent should lose the amount Qir
having intrusted the package to the mails
instead of the express.
The same position was assumed in de
bate. It was claimed that the Government
official should have ignored the Govern
ment mails as not trustworthy, and em
ployed private enterprise. What a com
mentary upon our postal system !
The stamps were at all times Government
property, and being intrusted to the mails,
were stolen by Government agents, and yet.
the Government proposes making imjivid
ual citizens responsible. *
THE SOUTHERN STATES.
We entirely agree with the New York
Times, that “it is quite time these States
were restored to their ‘practical relations’
to the Government of the Union,’’ and,
now that impeachment is out of the way,
we trust Congress will take up the Consti
tutions adopted by several of the Southern
States, and, if satisfied with them, proceed
nt mux to admit those States into the
Union. The States must he restored. The
contest of two year..' duration, as to menus,
must now yield to the attainment of the
end. Representatives arc wanted in Con
gress familiar w ith the wants and necessi
tics ol the Bouth, and capable of advising
such action as we require. Our industry
languishes: capital holds itself aloof from
our borders; our labor is disorganized, and
all the national legislation which has any
bearing upon our interests and our wants
has to be enacted by men from the North
alone, who are, from necessity, without
that intimate knowledge of our affairs
w hich is essential to just and useful action.
Kepreaeutittivcii of the Southern States and
the Southern people are imperatively need
ed in Congress. *
VOICE OE THE PEOPLE.
Our exchanges collie to us with a full
endorsement of the Republican Ticket and
i’latforni, the latter being universally recog
nized as a full, fair, mid comprehensive
statement ol the principles of the party.
Although the. designation of Gen. Grant
for President had long ago practically
been made, its reiteration by the delegates
Irom all the Btates and Territories has
stirred up enthusiasm, and developed con
fidence to a degree such as onr political
annals have not before recorded. The
supporters of the other .candidates for Vice
President accept Mr. Com ax, not formally
hut w ith hearty good will. Both the can
didates and the platform are calculated to
consolidate all the electors who have not
made up their minds to cast their lot with
the disuniotiists and repudintors. They
mollify asperities; they remove antagon
isms; they bring cheer and confidence, and
readiness to work for the t miso.
TIIE GOVERNOR ELECT.
The pony whining of sore headed
Opposition men to the contrary notwith
standing, Governor Btixoci will enter
upon his important duties with an eye
single to the welfare of his adopted State,
in the prosperity ot which no miui within
its landers cherishes a deeper interest
Governor Bt i.i.ock w ill begin his guber
natorial career with no “enemies to
punish." Gifted with tine ndminihtrativc
ability, a clear perception of men and
measures, and indomitable energy, he will
prove no laggard in the work of making
Georgia, indeed and in truth, the “Empire
State of the South.” He lifts clearly ex
pressed his views upon the great questions
of popular education, the manufacturing in
terests, and internal improvements and
those who have witnessed his enterprise, as
u private citizen, during his ten years’ resi
dence among us, need no assurance that
his ofiieial influence will he exerted in
behalf of every movement calculated to
secure the comiuerciid prosperity and
general welfare of the people. *
1 lon. Fostkk Hlodoktt, With what
pertinacity Union men are hunted down
by Copperheads and Rebels, is evidenced
by the arrest of lion. Foster Blodgett, in
Chicago, on a charge of mobbing a man
named Crangle, in 1860. The fact ot the
case is, that Mr. Blodgett, as Mayor of
Augusta, interceded for the man’s life, and
thereby incurred the displeasure of the
community.- -American Union.
This fact, as stated by our Macon
cotemporary, is known not only to our
“respectable” citizens, but also to Kanso
Wright. *
Funny, Cttslos monun, the immaculate
of the Journal <f Messenger (who don't go
to operas and blushes at the hare mention
of the Black Crook), is regaling its “re
spectable” readers with the publication ol
love letters from a white woman to a “big
buck nigger.”
True, <> Athenian. “Our policy is
aggressive,” says the Journal it- Messenger.
’1 hat’s so—ami any Union man who has
lived or travelled, within the past twenty
years, in the South (cursed by the presence
of such sprigs of chivalry as the ,/. it M.
F. R. G.), will bear witness to the truth of
that remark.
» IVA SUING TO NRI MO RS.
Colfax is radiant ami joyous, anil males
no secret of his satisfaction nt Ihe result.
Grant takes his nomination quietly, and
is apparently the coolest man in Wash
ington.
Henderson, Fowler, and Ward refuse to
tell what they did with Ihe money they
drew out ol the hank. It was used, as they
say, tor purposes wholly foreign to the
inquiry on foot, and claim that it is no
business of the ('ommittee’s.
I lu re is some excitement ovn the state
ment that Mr. Stevens will submit three
new articles to the Managers, and if not
accepted, will lake them before the House.
He is confident he can frame one or two
i-rsii-b-.i certain to convict. The proba
bilities arc that tin* Ib.-i .. will adopt hi
\ iews.
The Mima 'ors maintain tin- strictest
.silence as t . wlinl occurs in tin it eoiumittee
room, and the re polls that have been alloat
in Iteuioir.l lie new.,papers at. imHociid iu
the White House, and colored, of com e, to
suit lilt: I’resideut’s side ol the case. It is
hut lair to make this fact known, ami that
the eoniitry may know that only one side of
the ease is published.
The investigations ol the Managers have
established beyond the possibility of doubt
that a strong anti impeachment ■ ring 'was
lorin. and, and that they began '.heir intrigues
on tile first day ol the trial. Ferry Fuller,
S. S. fox, Samuel Ward, .1. T. Leggett, id
Kansas, and two or three other persons
were examined Friday. Mr. Francis E.
Spinner, the Hon. Tom Ewing, and 001.
John Henderson, were in attendance at the
I'ipitnl, for the purpose of examination.
Fuller was questioned concerning the draw
ing and depositing of large sums of money
which he did not account for altogether to
the satisfaction of the Managers.
PERSONAL ITEMS.
Miss Redden, Ihe American mute poetess
is at Sorrento, engaged to marry an English
artist.
Michelet has sold Ihe copyright ol his
“History ol France” for live years, ami got
$31,000 in gold for it.
The rumor is that Miss Mary Foote do
dines to marry Senator Henderson since he
voted against impeachment.
Mr. Ross, the Kansas Senator, was lineman
ol Ihe Milwaukee .'enlincl iu 1856, ami in
that year emigrated to Kansas.
Brevet Major General W. IJ. llazeu,
Colonel 38th IJ. 8. fnlautry, on lie- 30th nil.
assumed command of Fort Crai>, New
Mexico.
The Queen has graciously ordered Angus
McPherson to translate her Imok into Gaelic,
and it lias also been done into Welsh.
Bunsen, whose memoirs have lately been
compiled and published bv hi t widow, was
formerly the tutor and travelling companion
of Win. B. Antin'.
The King ol Ihe French says he was not
born with warlike propensities, and that it
was a sense of duty which prompted him to
command the troops in Italy, Hi, Majesty
is too modest.
Ex-Governor l’ierpon!, of Virginia, ban
left Richmond, which he has made his resi
dence since Ihe t loso of the war, in conse
quence of hit official duties, and now re
turns to his old Innne in Fainnounl, Wes!
Virginia.
Adelina Patti has not yyit entered into the
bonds cd matrimony, and whether or riotshe
will marry the Marquis de Caux remains a
mystery unsolved. Patti p.:re, in a note to
the London Post, denies the rumor of the
Paris Figaro, but does not enlighten tin as
to the future.
it is rumored that Queen Victoria will
make Mr. D’lsrcali a Knight of the Garter,
ft distinction usually conferred upon mem
bers of royal families and the higher no
bility. Mr. Pitt was the only other cimiimmcr
who was offered this honor, and he, greatly
to his sovereign's disappointment, declined
to accept it.
A writer in a late magazine tolls a story
which ho had from the late Major Noah, to
the effect that when James Gordon Bennett
first applied for work at the office of tho old
Courier if Enquirer, Ito was in such distress
that the kind hearted Noah first gave him a
quarter of a dollar to got a dinner with
beforo bogining to talk with him about bis
future occupation. After Mr. Bennett bad
satisfied bis hunger, Ito ltiatlo a bargain
with Major Noalr, and went to work ; his
duties included sweeping out tlio office in
the morning, in addition to his more litera
ry avocations. There are few men in bis
tory who, from such small beginnings have
risen to such wealth and power ns Mr.
Bennett.
• AGRICULTURAL HIIEVITIRS.
Mrs. Ware, near Norfolk, Va., derived,
lust year, SIO,(UK) from a pear orchard of
thirty acres. Eighteen acres of apples netted
$3,000.
Hie Tctolaky is anew apple from Russia;
is sour, of line quajtly, hardy, grows nearer
the North polo than nny other, and blossoms
and ripens within sfxly days.
banners of Minnesota tire sowing a larger
area of laud to wheat this year than ever
before. Minneapolis, Minn., expects to ship
200,000 barrels of Hour this year.
Thc> Department of Agriculture, in its
monthly report, says iu the neighborhood of
Roquefort, France, fight million pounds of
cheese are made aunuallv from the milk of
about -100,000 sheep.
Wool growers are still nimble to decide
whether it is best to wash their wool. In
Central Illinois the buyers are so unjust that
the sheep men have built a Factory, and they
sell cloth instead of wool.
Tito fanners iu-tli West are said to lie
beginning to plant fore.-l trees on their
prairie lands as a protection for their dwell
ings against the cold northern blasts ol
wittier.
The enormous gq»in crops in California in
the Inst two years have lilted llto pockets ol
farmers, and they are improving their lauds
extensively. The next crop of wheat in the
Slate, il is believed, will not fall short of
30,000,000 bushels.
The Canadians have more wheat than
they can use. Coal oil is so cheap that tliev
have closed tho wells. .Silver money is a
drug, and yet times never were so hard, for
imn.igrants will not come in, and old settlers
are leaving. When young folks lire in a
similar condition, the only remedy is to get
married.
Wheat. —Tho Columbia (Tcnn.) Kcrahl
hears of a farmer near Spring Hill who has
engaged his forthcoming crop of wheat, to
ho delivered at Smith’s Station, at $2.50 per
bushel. On the contrary, the editor hears ol
many others who are anxious to engage
theirs at sl, bat can find no bidders.
Rust in Wheat. —A writer in the Balti
more Rural Gentleman states that ho once
sowed wood ashes on a part of his wheat
crop at the rate of eight bushels to the acre,
when the wheat was beginning to joint—
weather wet. 'The part of the field thus
sowed escaped the rust, and the remainder
was nearly destroyed by it.

i in; Late Stuuugi.k.—in the late struggle
in Georgia, the “National Democracy” made
strong appeals aud fair promises to the
blacks, and thus secured the votes of some
tlioiisinds 111 them. Why not insist that
they, too, shall have a fair show iii Demo
cratic Conventions ? We like Gen. Forrest’s
principles so well that we could wish to have
them consistently heeded, Aud. if there be
(as we have seen stoutly asserted) living
specimens of that rara avis, a “Secesh
nigger,” to bo found in the South, we suggest
that one of them should bo sent to the Dem
ocratic National Convention which will
inaugurate tmr new Tammany Hull on the
4lh of July next. It is currently urged in
the Democratic organs (wisely, we judge)
that the party must shed its old skill and
stand lorlh progressive, illumined, and ready
to keep abreast with the times, unless it is
roll tent to remain forever out ol power, Let
il "conquer its prejudices,” then, and send
us at least a graft from one ot its “first
luHiiln on an African stock, as a represen
tative ol renovated Georgia or South Caro
lina in Ihe approaching Sanhedrim. We
have, ha-1 talk enough of Democratic pro
ffress mid rerognilinii of accomplished facts;
now h i us .ee these wonts translated into

I bat was an admirable resolution
adopted hy the Chicago Convention, on
motion "f Carl Rehurz, “commending the
magnanimity of the reconstructed rebels
who now support the Government, and
layering Ihe, removal of the restrictions and

rapidly as their loyalty justifies it." A
