■Eri ni.KMN ri.ATroßm.
The National Republican party of the I’nitetl States,
assembled in National Convention, in the city of Chi
cago, on the 30th day of May, ISftS, make the following
Declaration of Principles :
Ist. We congratulate the country on the assured suc
cess of the reconstruction policy of Congress, a!
evinced by the adoption, in a majority of the States
lately in rebellion, of Constitution* seen ring equal Civil
and political rights to all, and regard it as the duly of
the Government to sustain those institutions, and to
prevent the people of such States 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 bo maintained, while the question of suffrage
in all the loyal States properly belongs to the people or
those States.
Sd. We denounce all forms of repudiation ns a na
tional crime, and tlie national honor requires the pay
ment of the public indebtedness, in the utmost good
faith, to all creditors, nt home and abroad, not only
according to the letter, but the spirit of tlie laws
under which it was contracted.
4tli. It is due to the labor of iho nation that taxation
should be equalized and reduced as rapidly as the na
tional faith will permit.
sth. The national debt, contracted, ns it lias been, for
the preservation of the Union for all time to come,
should be extended over h fair period for redemption,,
and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of in
terest thereon, whenever it can honestly be done.
6th. That the best 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 be
administered with tlie strictest economy, and the cor
ruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and
fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for ridi:al re
form.
Bth. We profoundly deplore the untimely and 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 and the
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 tlie 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 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 beeu justly
impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and
properly pronounced guilty thereof by the vote of
thirty-five Senators.
9th. The doctrine of Great Britain and other European
powers, that because a man is once a subject, lie 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 to be piotected In all their rights of citizenship ns
though they were natural bom, and no citizen of the
United States, native or naturalized, must bo 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 tlie 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 iu the service of tho 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.
11th. 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 the
oppres>ed of all nations, should he fostered and encour
aged by a liberal and just policy.
12th. This Convention declares it • sympathy with all
the oppressed people which are struggling for their
rights.

MONEY AND WHISKEY
Democracy, so-called, soems determined
to use all the money and all the strychnine
.whiskey to bo had for tho purpose of buying
up votes. IVe know a place not a thousand
miles away, where repeated ami persistent
efforts are being used to form Democratic
(?) clubs among tho colored voters. In
Baldwin county two colored moil woro
placed in position as Vico Presidents of a
club ; in Clarke county money hits been
contributed, and wo hear that a few soap
tails have gone under; In Oglethorpe
county tho effort, so far, has resulted in a
deud failure ; in Greene county tho same
thing has ocoured, although tho white
cravated gentlemen of Penfield are doing
their level best to create a furore, hut they
can’t come it, and had better, we think,
stick to their legitimate duties ; in Wilkes
county, with the blowing Toombs and
otlmrs, wo hive no doubt the facile and
easily persuaded are haltered—as tho smut
machine published there we(a)kly lias a
list of names paraded, of negro mechanics,
ns deserters of their race and their true
friends, who have gone “after strange gods.”
Let all these benighted people go—time
will reveal to them their folly. Reasoning
with them now is useless; but when the
rod of hale and persecution is brought to
bear upon them fiy these quondam friends,
like Dives, they will raise up their eyes—
being in torment—and ask for “a drop of
water to cool their parched tongues!” Then,
humanity-may speak, and tlie Republican
party forget their treason to their race, and
receive them back again. It is, howevcr>
our opinion that it is far better not to act so
as to require this sort of punishment of
repentance, but for all Republicans to stand
firmly by their party organization, come
what will, coinc what may.
CONTRAST OF PRINCIPLES.
The essential principle of Republicanism
is the principle of Free Labor— a principle
whose very essence is to uphold the rights
of the laborer in every form. Tlie essen
tial principle of Democracy—however it
may Ik: denied or disguised—is that an
nounced by a distinguished South Caro
linian, when he argued the necessity of
an inferior class, bearing the same relation
to the social framework that the mudsill
in architecture bears to the superstructure.
The first of these principles is repre
sented by the intelligent, vigorous, rapidly
growing North and West: the second by
the effete aristocracy ot the South, who
indulge the false pride which holds
work—the instrument of all wealth, and
power, and growth—to be disgraceful.
Who can doubt which of the two is
destined to dominate in this country ?
Whoever imagines that this nation is to
fall again under the domination of that
party which represented the slavcocracy of
the South while slavery existed, and will
hereafter represent the same aristocratic
principle in a form modified to suit the
altered circumstances of the present, must
be entirely blind to the actual ciiciun
stances of our political situation.
IMMIGRATION TO THE UNITED
STATES.
Immigration to the United State U
again becoming a vast movement, and is
bringing us large numbers of the working
people of Great Britain and Germany.
The successful result of the late American
Avar, and its development of the great
resources of the country, has swollen the
tide of immigration from 00,000 to 215,000
annually. We see it stated that during
the past week there have been large num
bers of arrivals at New York, the average
being 000 to 700 a day. Germany now
sends more than Ireland, but tlie immigra
tion from both, it scents, is only limited
+>>’ the capacities of vessels bringing the
anxious seekers for homes in the West.
Hundreds wait at the shipping ports week
after week to find a ship with berths
unoccupied. Denmark, Poland, Sweden,
Italy, and France, arc also contributing to
our population. The class that come arc
generally industrious and thrifty, and
their labor is worth a great deal to tlie
l nited States. The New York Herald
says that but one thing is to be deplored
in this swelling tide of immigration, and
that is that many of the Danes und Swedes
who come have east their lot with tlie
Mormons, and that, fraternity already
numbers too many disciples in America.
STULTIFICA TION.
The record shows that in the proceed
ings of Congress, the other day, on the vote
to restore the late insurgent Slates to their
place in the Union, the whole Democratic
party in Congress voted against it! Will
our Conservative cotemporaries tell us
what made these Democratic brethren
stultify themselves that way ' Let us have
their rationale of it. Ever since the Avar
closed, every orator and press on the Dem
ocratic side have been making an outcry
for the admission of the Southern rebel
States ; nay, they went so far as to insist
they Avert: already members of the Union
and entitled to representation in Congress,
and that the Republican party was treason
able and unconstitutional for keeping them
out. Now they have made constitutions
of their own, they come asking admission
to Congress, and behold ; every Democratic
vote is against it. Why is this thus !
•-
Tru k or tiik OreosmoN. —Tlie Diumion
newspapers are industriously circulating th e
story that tlie people do not ree.-ivo the

GEORGIA—IN CONGRESS.
If tho dispatch is to he credited, Congress
strikes from the Constitution of Georgia the
provisious repudiating old debts, except
those contracted tor slaves. In other words,
it nullifies all provisions for rolief, in the
Constitution of Georgia, except on debts
contracted for slaves.
For general information we append “the
first and third subdivisions of sectiou 17 of
the filth article oflho Constitution,” and itlso
tho “proviso to the first sub-division,” refer

AN HONEST ADVERTISEMENT.
The New York Board of Health have just
divulged the following advertisement of Mr.
Bonner’-: country place iu Westchester
county, prepared by him and intended to be
published last autuiuu, hut withheld at the
solicitation of his neighbors, who were afraid
it might injure the value ol property there.
It was elicited by the Board of Health, in
their official investigation of the ice pond
matter at West Moriisianin, and is a putt of
tlie evidence in that case:
A COUNTRY SKAT FOR KALE WHERE
A there is Fever and Ague. -I hereby offer
let ,-alo ray I'oiintry residence at West Morrisia
nin, near Mr:rose .Station,where I have lived lor
tho pii. l: three summers, but ilo not think that f
could live ranch longer, f have heard that pco
| :e l.iokiii ; for a place t" purchase could never
find one where they bnvo chill and fever -they
always have it about a uiitc, ainite and a half, or
two miles off, bill never right there, at the place
that is for sale. Now, i offer tor sale a curiosity,
-omething rare, the previse, exact spot where tho
fever and ague is. I will warrant it to bo there.
Thrco of toy children have it; ivy gardener has
it; ray gr on tins the sure prunonUory symp
toms, and i have a sufficient inkling of it myself.
Any doctor, with a large family, who has a
specific for lever and ague, would find this a
uio.-t eligible situation ; the neighborhood s full
ot the disease, and if lie could keep it out of his
own family it would give him a reputation which
would in uro his fortune. Besides the fever and
ague, the < stato consists of a line double bouse
with all modern con veniencos and improvements,
such as hot and cold water, furnace range, etc.,
nod about two acres of land, with a pretty fair
barn, and .-••me good box stalls for good horses.
I< is really beautiful place. Hie grounds arc
handsomely laid out, and covered with trees and
shrubbery of the choicest kind. These trees
afford not only a delightful shade, but a nice
bailo r lor mosquitoes. The mosquitoes thus
tor have not been so much affected try tho (ever
and ague :•-• to provent their filing. In fact, it
is a good place t• • r mosquitoes, t bought it to
pleura in . wife, and shall leave it to please my
whole family. Terms, cash. I am afraid any
security on it would get Iho fever and ague, and
become shaky. Those wishing to purchase will
please apply immediately. 1 want to get away
from it as fast us Dexter can carry me.

you will find that the caucuses were called

Republican party lias always licen victorious,
