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. TO OCR COUNTRY SC/IStRIRERS. W c are itmv sending out bill;.

Tin; cniiAi’i’ST imfeii is beoiuu v: The Presidential Campaign, for 1863, will he the most important that lias ever claimed the attention of American citizens. Ottr Republican friends, who realize the advantages to he secured by the dissemi nation of political truths through the medium of a well conducted daily journal, should, at once, organize Clubs for the purpose of increasing the subscription list and efficiency of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN published every morning (Monday ex cepted) at Augusta, Cht., the home of the Governor elect. Tiik Rkim'ulhwn 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 he guided, as it has been hitherto, by uncom promising loyally to the Union, and will resist every attempt to weaken the bonds that unite the American people into one Nation. Tilt-; I{i i-i in,n \n will heartily support General Gkant ami S< iu yi.kii Colfax for the responsible positions for which •hey have been nominated. It will advo cate retrenchment and economy in the public expenditures, and the reduction of onerous taxation. It will advocate the speedy restoration of the South, as needful to revive business and secure fair remune ration for labor. Tiik Reim iu.k an will always have all the NEWS— domestic, foreign, political, social, literary, and commercial its pro prietors using enterprise and money to make the BEST possible Newspaper, as well as the UIIEAI’EbT. Its conductors will study condensation, clearness, point, and will endeavor to present its renders, daily, with a summary ol the world's doings in the most luminous, and attractive manner. And, in order to place Tiik National RKitiu.ican within the reach of all who desire a tjowi .laity itcirynijicr, we present the following low terms of subscription “FOR THE CAMPAIGN/’ [ From now till /he fu st of December.\ Ono Copy 25 Five Copies io oo Ton “ 18 00 Twenty “ ... 35 00 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. I’li ESI I) EN TIA /. EfEC! foX. S’.

I'. Times. A life saving apparatus was tested a day or two ago, by sumo gentlemen who 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 trivance and capable of saving life. But seaworthy ships aru still hotter contrivance) for the purpose.— N. V. Times. [From the New York Hon. 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. A I’iiTinu:.
