WA SUING TON R ( MORS. The World says Secretary Seward desires to resign. The probability is that there will he other changes in the Cabinet. Hon- Samuel Shellabarger, of Ohio, arrived in Washington, Wednesday, and will resume his seat in the House forthwith. Senator Grimes, it is said, intends to resign. The probabilities are that his vote for acquittal will be his last in the United States Senate. Senator Trumbull tries to weather it out, but has a very hard time ot it. Every mail brings him dozens of petitions and letters urging his immediate resignation. The report that Speaker Coltax will take the stump after the adjournment of Con gre.-s is contradicted. He does not contem plate -peaking publicly during the cam paign. It is held lliat Secretary Stanton has not resigned, and never will resign to please Andrew Johnson. lie merely evacuated the position he was holding for the good of the country, when the country failed to sustain him. Senator Fessenden says.he shall soon go home ; that he has no longer any position or influence at Washington, and is tired of public life. He lias no present intention of resigning, but will probably think different ly when he returns to Maine. Gen. Thomas says Mr. Stanton lias not resigned in form ; that be has no right to leave the key with Gen. Townsend ; that t lie chief clerk ought to take charge, and that the whole thing is one of Stanton's tricks, and he’ll bed if he puts his foot into the trap. PERSONAL ITEMS. John C.

(*a. THURSDAY MORNISiI Jbdo 4 > ,s ** For PRESIDENT Or tiik United States: ULYSSES S. GRANT. FOR VICE PRESIDENT: Schuyler Colfax, OR INOIASA. ■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. TO OCR COUNTRY SUnSCRIRERS.

Tim Kepi:blu’an modestly claims that it has done good service in the Union cause, and for the promotion of pure and undefiled Republicanism, since the party had an existence in Georgia. It will be guided, as it lias been hitherto, by uncom promising loyalty to the Union, and will resist every attempt to w eaken the bonds that unite the American people into one Nation. The Ri.ri ijmi an will heartily support General Guam' and Siiuylick Colfax for the responsible positions for which they have been nominated. It will advo cate retrenchment arid economy in the public expenditures, and the reduction of onerous taxation. It will advocate the speedy restoration of I lie South, as needful to revive business and secure fair remune ration for lul.or.

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 nomination ot Grant and Cot,fax with tho enthusiasm that gives assurance of success to the ticket. \Ve venture to say- and the information is reliable and certain that conics lo us Horn all sections of the country --that tlieto never was a Presidential nomi nation received fiy it great and united parly with more satisfaction and with hotter assurances ot success. And that's not all.

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 red to in tho telegram : Motion XVII. 1. No Court iu this .State shall have jurisdiction to try or determine uny suit against any resident of this Slate upon any contract or agreement made or implied, or upon any contract made in renewal of any debt existing prior to the fir.il day of June, 1805. Nor shall any Court or ministerial officer of this St ite have authority lo enforce any judgment, execution or decree rendered or issued upon any contract .-r agreement made or implied, or upon any contract in renewal of a debt existing prior to the first day of June, 1565, except in the following cases: 1. In suits against trustees where the trust property is in the hands of the trustee, or has been invested by him in other specific effects now in his hands, and in suits by tho vendor of real estate against tho vendee, where not more than one third of the pur chase money has been paid, and the vendee is in possession of the land or specific effects for which lie has sold it, and he refuses to deliver the land or said effects to the vendor. In such cases the Courts mid officers may entertain jurisdictions and enforce judg ments against said trust property, or laud, or effects. 2. In suits lor the benefit of minors fiy trustees appointed before the first day of June, 1805. :•». In suit3 against corporations iu their corporate capacity, but not so as to enforce the debt against the stockholders or officers thereof iu their individual capacity. 4. In suits by charitable or literary insti tutions for money loaned, property —other than slaves—sold ; or services rendered by such institutions. j. In suits on debts due for mechanical or manual labor, when the suit is by tho mechanic or laborer. G. In cases when the debt is set up by way of defense, and the debt set up exceeds any debt due fiy defendant to plaintiff of which the Courts are denied jurisdiction. 7. In all cases in which the General As sembly shall by buy give tho said Courts and officers jurisdiction: Provided, that no Court or officer shall have, nor shall the General Assembly give, jurisdiction or authority to try or give judgment on or enforce any debt, the consideration of which was a slave or slaves, or the hire thereof. . 111. It shall be in the power o( the Gene ral Assembly to assess and collect upon all debts, judgments, or causes of action when due. founded on any contract made or implied before the first day of .June, 1805, in the hands of any one in his own right, or as trustee, agent or attorney of another, on or alter tlie first day of January, 18G8, a tax of not exceeding 25 per cent., to be paid by tlie creditor on pain of the forfeiture of the debt, but chargeable by hint as to one half thereof against the debtor, and collectable with tho debt: Provided, that this tax shall not fie collected it the debt or cause ot action fie abandoned or settled without legal process, or, if iu judgment, be settled without levy and sale : And provided further, That this tax shall not be levied so long as the Courts of this .State shall not have jurisdic tion of such debts or causes of action. 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.
