HKIMMI.MaN I*I,ATI OKM.
Thft National Republican party of the United Slates,
Msciublcd in National Convention, in the city of Chi
ctgo, on the 30th tUy of May, 1868, make the following
Declaration of Prtadplcs :
lit. We congratulate the country on tho assured •tw
ees* of the reconstruction policy of Congrem,
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 il as the duty of
the Government to sustain those institutions, and to
prevent the people of such Stales 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
sideration of public safety, of gratitude and of justice,
and must ho maintained, while the question of suffrage
In all the loyal States properly belongs to the people of
thosa 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 borne and abroad, not only
according to the letter, hut the spirit of the laws
under which it was contracted.
4th. It is due to the labor of ihc notion that taxation
should he equalized 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 couie,
should be extended over a fair period for redemption,
aud it is the duty of I’ongress to reduce the rate of in
terest thereon, whenever it can honestly be done.
6th. That the beat 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.
7th. The Government of the United States should he
administered with the strictest economy, and the cor
ruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and
fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for rultaal re
form.
Bth. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic
death of Abraham Lincoln, and regret the nccession of
Audrotv Johnson to tho Presidency, who has acted
treacherously to the people who elected him and the
ho. was plodded 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: Ims 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 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 tho vote of
thirty-five Senators.
9th. The doctrine of Great Britain and 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 and independence. Naturalized citizens are enti
tled tube piuteciedin all their rights of citizenship 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, and if so arrested
and imprisoned, it is the fluty 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 cruisei 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 notion's
protecting care.
11th. Foreign immigration, which in the pa. t lias
added 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 und just policy.
12th. This Convention declares its sympathy with all
the oppressed people which are struggling for their
rights.
THE WHISKEY TAX.
This excise, it is contended, now supports
a combination which is stronger than Con
gress. Its next game, evidently, is to
control the Democratic nomination tor
President, and the election. There is one
way to Break il tip—nnd but one—and that
is to abolish the lax, or to mbit e it to a
rate so low that it will not sup,' it this
rombiimtion and turn!.-; the means to buy
the revenue oShears.
To repeal the tax, i to deliver the country
from infamy. The immediate result will be
a saving of money; for the Government is
paying the so-called revenue officers more,
on account of ihe whiskey excise, than they
are collecting—the cost of the salaries of
thieves, to wutrh each other, is now greater
than the amount they i illect. The same
effect may possibly he wrought bv 1 educing
tbe tax to twenty cents a gallon. It should
not be higher than this.
Aokk t.LTi itAi. Societies. The science
of farming (for it i» a science) threatens
to become tv “lost art" among our people
-4\ hat we need, perhaps, is an energetic
association, such as some of the other
States have, with a competent head, and a
central office, where [dun- may be organ
ized, by prizes, by publications, and by
annual shows, in each of the towns, by
which a stimulus shall be exerted, which
in u few years shall bring every acre of
land, of any value, under its proper culti
vation. We well remember, when a young
man, how many more farmers we had
than we now have, and what a clear
headed and considering the advantages
they possessed and the few improvements
then developed -what a skilful and noble
lace they were. Before agriculture as a
pursuit is quite extinct, we would like to
see an effort made to throw more life into
it. An occasional conclave of epicureans
at the Hat e Track, with the chief view of
having a “good time" generally, and
sowing wild oats, can hardly he. called an
agricultural society meeting.

ADMISSION OF THE SOUTHERN
STATES INTO THE UNION.
The New York Tiiiu *, of thu 20th inst.,
lias an able article, urging that the people
of the Southern States should resume con
trol of their own domestic affairs—should
be again allowed to make their own laws,
and that tile whole machinery of their State
governments should again pass into their
own hands. The Time * proceeds to say:
Tho people of tho South are now fully
capablo of taking charge of tlioirown affairs,
and thoro is every reason why they should
bo allowed to do it.
These States ought to take part in the
pending Presidential election. They ore
entitled to a voice in deciding what shall be
the course of the Government, in fixing its
policy nnd guiding its administration for
tho next four years. Very much of its ac
tion will relate to (heir affairs and affect
their interests ; and it is their right to share
in its "election. They arc just as much
entitled to he heard in the canvass as arc
the people of any of the Northern and
Western Slate*. Indeed, as they will he
more directly affected by the result, they
may he said to have even a stronger claim.
The only objection urged against their
prompt admission, by any of their own
people, is that the blacks ought not to vote.
Tho whites claim for themselves all the
powers and political rights of government.
They would rather retrain under their
present military reyime than share authority
with the negroes, and prefer not to como
hack into the Union until they cun come
hack without any such partners in political
power. So far as their objection takes tin-;
shape, it is not entitled to weight. Their
objection to negroes voting because they
arc too ignorant to vote intelligently, is, in
our judgment, valid; hut it has been over
ruled by Congress, and, besides, it is an
objection which loses force with every day
that passes. The efforts made to educate
the Southern blacks, and the success that
attends them, will very speedily make
them quite as capable of voting intelli
gently as the great body of the white voters
there arc to day. But the protest against
their voting, which rests on the hare fact
that they arc black, is utterly invalid and
scarcely entitled to respect. This is m.-t a
“white man’s government" alone; it is a
government of the people—that is, of all
who are the subjects of it. Whatever we
may say or think of the principle as
a matter of natural right, the theory
and practice of our Government alike
teach that all citizens, who are required to
obey the laws, tire to have a voice in making
them. Congress, moreover, has decided
that in the reorgaruz ition of the Southern
State Governments, mid the general recon
struction of S nthiru society, all their
citizens shall he put upon an equal footing—-
that blacks and whins shall alike share,
according to their numbers, in the enjoy
ment and exercise of political power, and
the process of restoring those States to the
Union must go on upon that basis. When
the Union is once more restored and the
Southern States resume their relations to
the Government, any evils that may result
from the mode of doing it can he redressed.
But the condition of the country is such
that longer delay in bringing about that
restoration, is alike impolitic and unjust.
Pile l nion should be at once leslored on
the basis of equal rights and equal suffrage,
whi< h Oongre alias prt tib and. The South
ern States should promptly take their places,
through their representatives, in Congress.
And they should have a chance, if radio
posi 4—ns doubtless several ol them at least
will he—to givo their aid in electing Gen
Grant to the I’resiih v .

is kicking tq> again, and talking saucily to
the antiquarians coiiqxi.-ing the “Central
Executive Committee of the Inunocrntic
l’r.rty of Georgia,” because those worthies
have seen tit to ignore the editorial advice
tendered by the ml Til. rim “Governor
East of the Oconee." It seems that the
Ceil. Ex. Com. of the Deni. Party of Go.
have railed a Stale Convention to be held
in Atlanta on the 23d day of next duly
after the meeting, you see, of the New
York Convention. Our ml interim Gov
ernor. ttji street, don't like it, blows a little
at the Ceil. E\. Com., intimates that “a
strict adherence to the advice and counsqjs
of certain old fossils of the party will be
sure to bring disaster upon the Demo
cracy,” then (figuratively, of course) dares
the Join mil and Afensenycr to knock a chip
of his hat, and, like Judge LonosthktV
celebrated Kanney Sniffle, winds up by
sloshing around generally. Look out for
the Eighteenth Section.

THE SEAT PRESIDENCY.
Mr. Edi/or : A celebrated Roman author
is entitled to the thanks of the people ol the
present age, pm ticularly of some Deinuiralic
editors, for having conceived and reduced to
writing the following great truth :
"Tempura mutuntur ct no* luutauiui* in illis.’’
Jf the truth ol that sentiment was ever
questionable, a short reading of some scala
wag, alimi Conservative, uUtut Democratic
organs would remove the doubts ol the most
incredulous. 1 would refer particularly to
the astonishing aerobatic teats n ■ nlly
performed by your neighbor up the street.
Previous to the election, he was the bitter., t
among the hitter on sundry questions then
in issue. In his opinion, the South would
never submit to universal suffrage— a war
of races would ■ ensue, etc. But, now tho
election is over, lie has the effrontery to
claim the credit for the rights grunted, tho
granting of which lie so vehemently opposed.
Listen at him—speaking of the colored
people under the head of conciliation, lie
says : ‘‘Have ice not given them th ; elective
franchise?” Jehosnpliat! wa; ever impu
dence more unblushing? ‘Ah I Raueidon,
Kaucidon, quae te dementia copit?” In my
school hoy days I learned the old saying :
“Quein ileus vult perdere, prius demeotat.”
from tile recent manooavres and omer
mulling of the editors of scalawag eigaux, it
verily seems that their recent del. at has
operated very injuriously upon their bruins,
and I am rather inclined to believe that the
gods have afllietcd them with political in
sanity, anil have decreed their political de
struction.
Previous to the election they consulted
every lexicon to find the bittern ■< epithets to
apply to those who voted for the Convention,
and who had the good sense to make the
action of that body effective by voting for
Bullock and the Constitution. They were
“scalawags,” “deserters of their race,”
“while niggers,” etc. Now, see with wlmt
soothing words he speaks to the noble
mountain hoys who so gallantly shouldered
Bullock and the Constitution, nnd rescued
the old ship of Stale from the doom which
he hud fixed for her. With what gentleness
does ho now woo them to fall into the loving
embrace of Rcmoeracy! and how sweetly
doca bo sing to thu colored citizens :
“Won’l you come to my bower."
A short while ago it wa* an outrage o|sm
tho finer feeling* of Southern sentiment to
behold the colored citizens organized us Re
publican clubs. Now the scalawag spokes
man beseeches them to form Democratic
clubE 4 erily, do the times change and we
change with them ? “Quod crat demon
strandum,” is tho mathematical conclusion.
Blit tuy object in writing the above is to
call your attention to tho fact, that there is a
significance of ominous import in this great
change which lias so suddenly seized upon
the minds of these blatant erring spirits.
The great battle is yet to bo fought. The
Presidential contest is" now almost upon us,
and they are marshaling th Hr hosts for the
liiml struggle. The great medium to he used
by them this summer is barbecues, and the
overjoyful, spiced with large promises for
some and threats for others. The contest,
I ruin the signs already developed, will he
sharp and vindictive on their part.
The wounds uud bruises received in their
recent detent have not cicatrized, uud they
have become goaded to desperation. Hence
no means will he omitted to iuflut lice the
election. Rut what is our duty at this hour ?
Shall we he content to know that our chief
is in the field and nobly unfurls the battle
flag lo the breeze? Shall we remain supine
ami indolent because of the prestige of that
chief “first in war, first in peace, and first
in the hearts of his countrymen”?
The rather should wo he up and doing.
Let us, too, marshal our forces, and when
the day comes he prepared to march in
solid phalanx to tho polls and roll up such
a majority as will confound and rout for
ever our opponents. If this great last
battle he lost, tho fruits of our late victory
will have been destroyed for ever.
But we must, we will succeed. Lot every
man do his duty. The peace, prosperity,
happiness, and future glory of the country
demand it. The cause of liberty, good
government, posterity demand it at our
hands. When the country shall have been
rescued from its state of gloom and uncer
tainty, when the dishonor attaching to the
Presidential chair shall be wined out, and
its lost honor retrieved by the gallant hero
w hom we have chosen for our leader, then
will the bright star of Hope dawn upon us
with dazzling splendor—peace and pros
perity shall be our reward, aud our country
shall attain a degree* of glory, strength,
and power unknown to her in her former
brightest days. *
More anon. Yours,
Bob Shout.
LAY SEIIMON.
When then makest a dinner or supper, call not
thy friends uor thy brethren, noithcr thy kins
men, nor thy rich neighbors, lest they also bid
thco again, and a recompense be made thco. But
when thou inakest a feast, call tho poor, the
maimed, the lame, the blind, aud thou shaM be
blessed; for they cannot recompense thee; for
thou sbalt bo recompensed at the resurrection of
the just.—l.uke, xiv, 12-11.
The ministration, of Christ was essential
ly democratic—that is for the people. Near
ly eighteen and a half centuries have
elapsed since this precept was given, and
yet we do not comprehend the spirit of this
teaching of our Saviour. We do not wonder
at this, for Christianity, like all other insti
tutions of mankind, necessarily, takes
more or less hue from the developments
and customs of tho age through which it is
passing.
The go proof given to Judas Iscariot, in
the gospel of John, chapter XII., verses
1-8, shows that the welfare of the poor was
i always ttppcrwosLhiu tho mind of Jesus,
i The efforts of Jesus were primarily for this
I class. T lio chief complaint of the Jews,
I was, that he was a man gluttonous, and a
wine bibber, and a friend of publicans and
sinners; and when the scribes and Pliari
secs asked: “llow is it that he catcth and
drinketh with publicans nnd sinners?” tho
answer which came hack—“they that arc
whole have no need of n physician, but they
that are sick. I canto not to call the right
eous, but sinners toropcntar.ee”—must have
given to these self righteous people a sense
of the power of Jesus an 1 an exemplification
ol lli s minion.
The pour have always been, nod prooahlv
will always be, in a minority in this world.
While those who arc feeble in intellect, and
who do not possess ivliat is called .shrewd
ness in temporal affairs, can hardly he
presumed to acquire wealth ; we have the
authority ol Ecclesiastes ix, 11, (or saying
that the race is not to the swift nor the
battle to the strong, neither yet broad to llu:
wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding.
Now, il the feeble in intellect and Ihe men
of understatiding arc deducted from tho
mass of the community, it will be readily
perceived that a vast, majority of the people
of every ago must Ibrego the possession of
riches, and, therefore, Christianity, when it
turned its attention to the well being ol the
poor, vindicated its supremacy over all the
religions which preceded it, inasmuch as it
looked to the welfare ol a vast majority of
every community.
A Christian (east, after the model of
our text- who ever heard of one? The
clannishness of all our Christian brethren,
o( whatever denomination, and tho exclu
siveness ol loa many ol tin mi, even among
themselves, compels ibein to neglect the
direction of Jesus to till up their tables by
bringing hither the poor aud the maimed
and the h ill and the blind ; or Lin■ I'niher
direct am lo go out into the highways and
hedge,, and compel litem lo come in, that
the house may he lillid.
This true Catholic spirit, so beautifully
illus'i aici! Iq our Saviour, ought to banish
all exclm ivi.iuss from the Church of Christ;
and, if il cannot he followed, as regards
outsiders of a particular congregation, it.
ought to teach a lesson to each church and
con, legation to gladly receive in their
respective social circles those whom they
expect to meet in Heaven. Were our
churches to do this, harmony would prevail
in r ich church, and those who were without
the pale of either could not hut he impressed
with the declaration of King David : “Be
hold how good and pleasant it is for brethren
to dwell together iu u,.ity."
Let uq not he understood as caviling at
the present status of any of our religious
di*in*tiiituttionh. We simply desire to ask
whether, whatever their peculiar creeds
may he, they cannot inaugurate tho spirit
nl Jesus, of which wo are speaking, in their
respective churhes ? The poor are sensitive
in this regard. When they bocomo members
of a church they ask, and have a right to
ask, whether the blood of the Saviour,
which has prepared thorn for tho mansions
above, has not effected a sufficient purifica
tion to entitle them to an admission into
mansions below, and whether both rich and
poor would not he alike henefittod in the
elevated social and religions interc mrso
which would follow.
“Ye have the poor with you always, and
whenever yo will yo may do them good,”
said Jesus to those who wero assembled
with him in the house of Simon, the leper,
at Bethany, when tho woman applied to him
the ointment of tho spikenard. Tho suite
assertion is equally applicable to our sge,
and to none is it more suggestive than to
the Christian world. And if wo would do
them good, how is Unit good to be done ?
Not by exclusiveness on our part, not by
withholding our sympathies from them,
but by making it our duly, as it certainly
would be for our interest, to do all in our
power for their religious, moral, and social
elevation.
