FRIDAY MORNING Juno 5, ISM
For PRESIDENT
Or tub United States:
rnssis s. (;im\t,
FOR VICE PRESIDENT:
SaiiYiiit Colfax,
OF jyDIANA.
UKPI RLltM* PLATFOnm.
The National Republican party of the United State*,
assembled in National Convention, in the city of Chi
cago, on the 20th day of May, 186s, make the following
Declaration of Principles :
Ist. We congratulate tho country on the assured suc
cess of the reconstruction policy of Congreax, oj
evinced by the adoption, in a majority of the State*
lately in rebellion, of Constitution* securing equal civil
and political rights to all, and regard it as the duty of
the Government to sustain those institutions, and to
prevent the people of such States from being remitted
to a state of annrehy.
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 of
those States.
3d. We denounce all forms of repudiation ns 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 home and 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 ihc nation that taxation
should be equalized and reduced ns 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 come,
should be extended over a 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, ami must continue to pay, so long as repudiation,
partial or total, open or covert, is threatened or sus
pect ed.
7th. The Government of the United States should be
administered with the strictest economy, and the cor
ruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and
fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly f«*r radical 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; lias used his high ollice 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; lias abused the
pardoning power; has denounced the National Legisla
ture as unconstitutional; has persistently and corruptly
resisted, by every measure in bis 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, ami
properly pronounced guilty thereof by the vote of
thirty-five Senators.
9th. The doctriuc of Great U.ritaln 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 tha feudal time, not author
ized by the law of nations, and at war with our national
honor and independence. Naturalized citizens arc enti
tled to be pi otected in 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 aud 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 tho country. The bounties
and pensions provided by law for these brave defenders
of the nation arc obligations never to be forgotten. The
widows ami 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 pad has
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 and just policy.
12th. This Convention declares it sympathy with all
the oppressed people which arc struggling for their
rights.

THE DEV AHD OF THE HOUII.
It ia no time for the political parties of
this country to l*c negative in their prin
ciples. The age and the country demand
something positive. Every platform must
boldly and freely enunciate political truths
or heresies ns tho basis of action, or it will
be cast aside us worthless. It will not do
to resurrect dead issues, with the hope ol
renewing their vitality. Time has banished
them from polities, and they can never
return to disturb tho popular mind. Cir
cumstances have rendered them entirely
obsolete, and an obsolete political idea is
gone for ever. Live questions are agitated
daily—questions affecting the national
welfare, and determining national destiny.
Parties must meet those questions or
perish. A live people raise new iSsucsi
tutd will support only those parties that
discuss and decide them. Evasion will not
satisfy. Parties must embrace those prin
ciples that pertain to government stability
and national prosperity. To fail to do it
is to lose the popular ;;upjs>rt, for the time
has passed when men will blindly follow
political leaders or be lured to their side
by a sounding name.
ft is tliist devotion to live principles that
has given the Republican party of this
country the ascendancy among the people.
It lias aimed to advance with every new
idea that lias entered the popular mind.
It lias been in full sympathy with every
principle of liberty, and has boldly taken
its place in the van of reform. It lias
scorned denial of its adhesion to universal
freedom, and has been proud to rank itsell
among its defenders. Its platform has
•always been an assertion of great moral, as
well as of great political truths. It has
been unqualifiedly the party of moral ideas
For this, it has been derided by its oppo
nents, but the people have recognized the
truth and dignity of its position untl have
repeatedly crowned it with victory. It lias
refused to bind itself to the past, but has
always endeavored to keep pace with the
march of events. Its whole history lias
been one of uncompromising fidelity to
those ideas that increase the national virtue,
and as such has been worthy of and receiv.
ed the respect aud confidence of the majori
ty of the people.
The Democratic party, on the other hand,
has had no sympathy with these grout
fundamental principles ot free government.
The people have looked ill vain to its
platforms for a response to the new issues
which the times have again and again
thrust upon the nation. It has either been
silent upon the most momentous question
or has been only negative in its assertions.
It has lived only by criticising the platforms
of its opponents. It has, to day. no fixed,
distinct, and clearly enunciated principle.
It has nothing positive about it —except a
positive opposition to everything that
looks like progress or the establishment of
great moral principles. Such a party can
not thrive, atul is defeated because it can
gather to its ranks only a minority of a
people that believe in political advance
ment.

her over a million for a university, and
promises another million for a hospital.

A life saving apparatus was tested a

went down In the Narrows, in the United
States steamer Henry Smith. 'Two men,
dressed in india rubber, were carefully
lowered to the water, where they floated
about for an hour and a half, with no fatal
results. The seamen of the Tariff', of New
York, coining up the hay, thought they
were derelict and drowning individuals,
and pulled vehemently for them, expecting
to bring them aboard in an insensible eru
dition. But thoy were greatly surprised to
find them Inking refreshment and looking
as calm as a couple of lotuses. The dress
provided for the occasion is a clever con

LETTERS FROM MR. REACH.—I.
* TUB ClTliS OF TUB BOUTH.
Atlanta, Ua., May 25, 1868. —0n a
ccrtbin day injcarly May, Manhattan itself
glided, as quietly and deinuroly as such a
body should, down Hudson’s swift runuing
waters, through its famed Narrows, tiuu
across that only bay which yields not to
the Neapolitan m rank. “Out on an ocean
all boundless'’ she rode, unhindered by brist
ling cannon, or tho concealed “bars’’ of
civilized life.
But. start not! My Manhattan is not
New York’s fast anchored isle. Created on
tho soil—a child of Manhattan’s children—
she may well claim the name, though tho
dissemblance in form be yet untold. Her
foundations are not of granite nothing but
of good old fashioned oak. llor hull of
wood fias full equivalent in Iter command
ing. Wood hull below Woudhuil above.
My riddle is tho Charleston steamship
Manhattan, Captain Woodhull, whereon 1
found safe passage, and pleasant witluil, to
tljc very nurse ground of secession. Old
ocean slept peacefully as 1 passed along—
ruffled not his matte, even, as I look' and
where fearful llatteras ought to be, and
uttered no growl when ruined Sumter
appeared in view. If there lie others whd
wish easy passage to these Southern climes,
them do 1 commend to Woodhull's com
mand.
What welcome to Charleston? Her rem
nants of walls, once blackened by conflagra
tion, are bleached by the winds and storms
of years; but rdtnnants they still remain I
A solitary •‘ebony’’ props up a post on the
otherwise deserted pier toward pvhich we
hasten. lie'll not pull hands out of pocket
to facilitate our landing I What silence!
What death in file is here? One pair of
hacks rest quietly at Ihe pier end. They
will carry all our passengers. Strife for the
preference is needless, and, as in a funeral
procession, we move to the hotel. Do we
dream ? Is this the once busy Charleston ?
Or this a double fast day obligation, that all
is so death-like ?
Time, which proves all things, determines
that tltis is indeed all that is left of once
busy Oharlestup, and that this is neither a
fast nor a Sabbath day. A fearful silence
does indeed brood over all things ! Whether
it betokens a sleep from which there shall be
present awaking, or whether the sceptro is
passing away from the once proud city to
another and more fortunate queen of South
ern land, we are yet to sec. Deserted streets
and houses, and whole acres of abandoned
“burned city,” in the very heart of the
beautiful city, tell a story of sorrow and
mourning which words can not interpret. I
will not pass judgment upon her deservings,
but none can deny that Charleston is suffer
ing most fearfully from the war which first
blazed in her own streets. She has become
not unlike the desolate and tenantless forts
and breastworks which cover every inch of
land in her harbor—useless.
The chill which crept over me on landing
would not be shaken off; it seemed to per
vade every thing, if not every person, with
whom it came in contact. An excessive old
time conservatism was in the air. Memorial
services were in vogue, and graves were
being decorated, but the sorrow was politi
cal, not human—forced, not natural. It
was such a hopeless clinging to the past as
bodes no future health. The patient seemed
to have out lived disease and vitality at the
same time, and likely to dio lor mere want
of a struggle. Every one waited for life,
hut none sought for it; property changed
hands for just what one would pay for it,
aud rented for tho mere cost of repairs.
And this, to me, was Charleston ! I left it
without rcgret-r-left the one horse dragging
a m- -to of people along tho streets, and the
nye (“etillud") man driving off a .score of
flies at the dinner table.
I tried to find Savannah, but the burned
bridges ol 18G t had not been rebuilt, and
the cool sea breeze threatened sea sickness
to sundry weak stomachs in my party, and
so wc turned Augustawtiril. 1 will not tell
hew "! ligingly attentive was the conductor,
lest I be obliged also to explain for which
pair of bright eyes In; invested untold dimes
in ripe strawberries; neither will l tell of
the cold stormy day, lest you say that I
rail at Southern skies; and yet will I say
that conductor and storm were decidedly
Northern in their characteristics.
The long shaded streets - avenues rather
—of Augusta were good substitutes for the
same features in Savannah. flic war
touched lightly hero, and a full fledged
Yankee cotton factory was found in full
blast, and with promise of making itself
felt in the years to come.
A night ride io the ear.-', is shorn of former
horror, and thus we wnk.al, one bright morn
ing, in Atlanta, ready for a few hours’ sight
seeing, were hours required to see the sights
of a mushroim city such as this. One a"d
twenty year 4 have pass.-.! since a stage load
of wearied and worried souls were let from
light-long racking ami swaying in the
cramped quartets of a stage coach, to lave
brow and hand at the tavern door near by as
a prelude to breakfast. I was one of that
small load, and the tavern was one of the
three or four buildings to he seen within a
circuit ol many miles. That one and twenty
years, while only serving to bring the boy to
man's estate, has seen the growth of a city,
tho rise and fall of a great war, in which
the city was destroyed, and, not least, though
1 ist, the rebuilding almost entire of the de
stroyed oily.
Atlanta is the very counlerp.irt of Charles
ton. hast in i deadly struggle whereto
Charleston led the wav and forced her com
pany, Atlanta, more than doubly destroyed
(by friend as well as foe), has fought, and
fought resolutely, an apparent late. Against
ail odds she struggled, anil to day she ex
hibits a deg ruts vitality which will carry
her on io uinluriiahlo success. Atlanta, in
her growth and resources, compares only
with our oil cities, which have sprung to file
like the prophet’s guard, but which tires,
though oil repented, can never destroy, fieri:
purchasers seek property and investments,
and on , vci'W hand are signs id thrill and
growth. Nothing is idle; every talent is
improved, and every ten talents gains ten
tth tils more. Charleston buries her talent,
while Atlanta gets back Iter own with usury.

lie possesses no warmth of feeling in com

as such, or any trustee or trustees acting in
a public capacity, are or shrill be entitled to
present or appoint, it shall not he lawful to
appoint any person to succeed to such arch
bishopric, bishopric, dignity, or benefice, and
upon thp happening of such vacancy, the
management and receipt of the rents and
profits of all the lands, titles, and other
emoluments pertaining to such archbishop
ric, bishopric, dignity, or benefice, shall be
transferred to and vested in the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners for Ireland, subject to all
charges legally affecting the same, and the
said Commissioners shall have power to
grant renewals, and do all other acts which
may be necessary for the due and proper
management thereof, and shall cause the
same and the proceeds thereof to be kept
distinct from all other funds, to be disposed
of iu such manner as Parliament shall
direct.
2. In case of the vacancy of any arch
bishopric or bishopric, tho person designated
by the thirty first section of the third and
fourth William IV., chapter d7, to execute
the powers of the said act during such
vacancy, shall be the guardian of the
spiritualities of such archbishopric or bish
opric ; and in case of tho vacancy of auy
benefice with cure of souls, till the powers
and authorities granted by the 116th section
of the said act for supplying thqspiritual
wants of suspended benefices shall apply
and be exercised in respect of such vacant
bcttcficcs, by the same persons and in the
same manner as therein directed, provided
that in regulating the salary of the offici
ating minister regard shall be had to the
nature and extent of the duties to l.e dis
charged.
3. It shall not be lawful for the Ecclesi
astical Commissioners for Ireland to make
any new grant for the building, rebuilding
or enlarging of any Church or Chapel, or
for tho building of any glebe house or the
augmentation of any benefice, or the main
tenance of any minister, or the purchase of
any house, land or'site rentage.
4. Every person who shall be appoint and
to any lay office in connection with the
Established Church in Ireland after the
passing of this act shall hold the said office
subject to the pleasure of I’arliam nt.
5. This act shall continue in force until
the first day of August, one thousand eight
hundred and sixty nine.
Singular Makkiagk.— On Tuesday oi
last week, Mr. William Blodgett, a resident
of Topslieid; who served creditably in the
army in the late war, and is looking for a
pension for support, called in at the public
house of Mr. Parkinson, where a woman
was staying who had been soliciting charity
from the inhabitants. Blodgett said to her,
iu substance, “I am going West. I have
lost my wife, and wish to obtain one to
accompany me.” The woman replied that
she was a widow, with two children to
support, and having 10.-. t her husband duriiic
the war. and that she would become his
wile. Whereupon both repaired to the
town clerk’s, aud procured a certificate,
going afterward to the house of llev. Mr.
McLoud, where they were lawfully married.
