FOR VICE PRESIDENT: Schuyler Colfax, or IS DIAS A. 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. SIIAMI-.n J,, TIKM'OII Natus.w,. It would *><’ difficult even for tin: Columbus /•;««;uirer to string together, again, so many delibe rate falsehoods in ns few lines, n,s me to be found in his cowardly attack upon "Blodgett,” of the 2‘Jlli instant. As a specimen, the smallest lie in the whole batch is that Mr. 15. "could not find a man to become surety on his bond, and had to go into limbo.” If this statement was ■nude in ignorance, the Kiujnii’fi' man is incompetent to furnish reliable news; if fas is more likely) he knew lie was pub lishing a falsehood concerning a polities| enemy, the dirty act was imply eontempti ble.

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 . Tm: ■ H u’i’v Famii.y." General Utilise 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. Untki tmvoimiY. —“I can not trust an uncommitted man,” said Daniel Webster, after years of political experience and careful study. Human nature has not changed since the Fail in Paradise. Let true Republicans heed (he warning voice of the departed Statesman of the East. [ Community toJ. 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.
