Os tiik United States:
pt¥§P S. UR A NT.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT:
SdiiviiEU Colfax,
OF ISO!AHA.
KBH'HUCAN I'I.ATI'OBSI,
Th« National Republican parly of tiie United Stales,
assembled in National Convention, in the city of Chi
cago, ou the »hh day of May, 186s, make the following
Declaration or Principles :
Ist. We congratulate the country on the assured anc
cess of the reconstruction policy of Congress, at
evinced by the adoption, in a majority of the States
lately in rebeltton, of Constltntiona securing equal civil
and political rights to all, and regard it as the duty of
the liorermuent to sustain those Institutions, and to
prevent the people of such States from living remitted
to a state of auan-hy.
Sd. The guarantee, by Congress, or equal suffrage to
all loyal men In the South was demauded try every con
sideration of public safety, of gratitude and of Justice,
and ranal bo maintained, while the question or suffrage
In alt the loyal States properly belongs to the people of
those Suites.
3d. We denounce all forma of repudiation n« 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 iho nation tbal taxation
should be 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 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, 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 the strictest economy, and the cor
ruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and
fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for ndUal re
form.
Blh. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic
death of Abraham IJncolti, and regret the accession of
Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, who has acted
treacherously to the people who elected him and the
cause be was pledged to support ; has usurped high
legislative and judicial functions; has refused to exe
cute the laws; lias used his high office to Induce other
officers to ignore and violate the laws; lias 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 been justly
impeached for high crimes ami 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 n 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 to be pi elected in all their rights of citizenship as
though Ihey were natural born, and no citizen of the
United States, native or naturalized, must l>e 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 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 jhe campaign and cruise, and imperilled
their lives in the service of the country'. 'Hie bounties
and pensions provided by law for these brave defenders
of the nation are obligations never to be forgotten. The
w idows 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
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 are struggling for their
rights.

THE WHITE VOTE.
The Democratic loaders arc sorely disap
pointed at tln> action of tlic white people,
ut the recent State election. They more
than realized their expectations on the
colored vote hut the white vote utterly
surprised and confounded them. In the
mathematical calculations of their leaders
ltefore the election, they considered ten
thousand white Republicans as u very
liberal allowance. They based their san
guine expectations on this number, and
determined to force a sufficient number of
colored men in Southwestern Georgia to
vote for Gordon, to secure his success
lioyond a doubt. They did force the col
ored men in that portion of the State, but
wliat they gained in black was more than
counterbalanced by white votes. If the
whites had acted as the disunioaists sup
posed, General Gordon would have been
elected by a triumphant majority; but
instead of Bullock only receiving ten
thousand white votes, he received nearly
four times that number. It is a low'esti
mate to say that thirty live out of the
eighty odd thousand votes cast for Bullock
were polled by white men.
It is on this fact the prediction is based
that Georgia will give General Quant
twenty thousand majority in November.
Every white man who voted for Bullock
passed the Rubicon of Secession Democracy
and landed safely on the Union shore,
while the colored men who were coerced
to vote for Gordon w ill be protected here
after. Mark that.
OUU A KA"/’ PRESIDENT.
We publish, this morning, the formal
letter of acceptance of GeneAl Grant.
Our candidate, in his laconic style, indorses
the Chicago resolutions, which, lie believes,
‘‘express the feelings of a majority of those
who sustained the country through its
recent trials.” He promises to administer
the laws “with the view of giving pence,
(piiet and protection everywhere.” lie
pronounces no line of policy for the un
foreseen future, but declares that the will
of the people, which he always has re
spected, he always shall respect, lie looks
to Peace to relieve our financial embarrass
ments, and closes with the significant
words : “Let us have Peace.”
“Still 11 akimbo on My Daughter.”—
Some of the Opposition journals continue
to put forward the pretense that danger
exists of “the permanent supremacy of the
Negro race.” How absurd I In Georgia,
we all know the white race constitutes a
clear majority. The political power is,
as a mere matter ot numbers, with the
whites. Are they not besides a superior
race ? Their strategy and intellectual
might must counterbalance hundreds, il
not thousands, of the ignorant, untrained
race so long their chattels. Tn every way
they have the advantage. Numbers and
prestige, and natural superiority, place
the sceptic in their hands. AVhat then is
the apprehended danger of Negro su
premacy .
It is bo li, or it is drivel. These races
have lived together, as master and servant,
as laborer a'nd overseer. The blacks have
been the productive element- the whites
were the governing race. Since the war,
the Republic pledged to the blacks free
dom and protection. 'I he ballot is the
cheapest and surest guarantee of both.
This minority, composed of an inferior
race, rise before the eyes of the old leaders
as the supreme power! Fewer, unedu
cated, destitute of experience, how are
they to attain to “supremacy” ! These
conservative gentlemen do not believe
their own declarations. Although con
science makes cowards of us all, this is
not die type of their apprehensions.
The Real Tuoi ulh. —We have, else
where, shown the insincerity of Conserva
tives who are spouting and writing so much
about Negro supremacy. But they do fear
that a large portion of the more patriotic
citizens will endorse the reconstruction
policy ; w ill vote only for men who seek an
early restoration of the States to their full
relations to the Union—and will actually
receive also the support of colored voters.
Thin is the fear. The old regime must die
under such influences. It lived only out of
slavery and the prejudice of caste and color.
Slavery is dead. More must be made out
of the old aristocratic feelings, out of the
old pride of white blood, out of the old
antipathy to the oppressed race. Every
body must beset at work again to kicking
Sambo, trampling upon and cursing him,
or the “peculiar institution” of the South,
with all its chivalrous belongings, will bo
gone forever.
These “conservative” gentlemen are
rather over doing their work. If, under
all the disadvantages of their position, the
Negro race are capable of attaining to
“supremacy” on the soil where they were
so recently slay on, they are not the brutes
and beasts they arc represented, and they
arc entitled to a fair share in the govern
ment under which they live. If no such
danger of “Negro supremacy” exists, it
can do no harm to introduce them to the
privilege of citizens. And that’s what’s
the matter.

J. M.
SPEECH OF GOV. BULLOCK.
At a Republican ratification meeting in
Albion, N. Y., ou Friday, 33d ultimo, the
Hon. It. B. Bullock, Governor elect of
Georgia, made a capital address, from
which we quote:
Gen. Grant and Schuyler Colfax are cmi
nent examples of the beneficence of Ameri
can institutions. Both noor hoys, one enters
the Military Academy, tho other engages in
the people’s college—the printing office—and
to day they are before us for the highest
office known to a civilized people. They,
however, are but men. The great questions
to he decided by the people, looking from my
stand point, seem to he, shall the represen
tatives of the people in Congress assembled
kc respected ns tho law-making power, or
shall nets of Congress he set aside by tho
will or the caprice of the Executive. The
decision of these questions is of vital impor
tance to the Soulli. Here, with your estab
lished civil governments, the baneful effects
of Executive malfeasance is net felt, hut
with us the President’* miliiary appointee is
the supreme power. Notwithstanding the
apportion from this sunvee. tiie friends of
the Government have succeeded, and it now
remains to be -ecu whether you will sustain
the wise course pursued by Congress—
whether you will sustain that system which
now in the South, as in the North, opens the
door of preferment to every man, no matter
how humble his origin, or ho.v remote the
place of his nativity; or whether you will
uphold the President's policy of placing the
power exclusively in the hands of those who
deny the validity ol Congressional laws.
The election of Grant and Colfax will make
the Southern States as free; will make labor
as respectable, and new comers as welcome
in Georgia as in this Empire State of tho
Union. Their defeat would leave those
States in the hands of the men who sought
to destroy and still condemn the Govern
ment -would practically place the laboring
classes in slavery and the friends of the
Government in peril. In a word, tho results
of the war arc now to ho saved or lost by
you of the North in tho coming political
contest. May wo feel assured that the cause
of Liberty’, of Justice, and of Loyalty will
be thoroughly vindicated.
Gov. Bullock was ctlttcatcd in Albion,
and resided there before he went South.
His numerous friends and old acquaint
ances were glad of the opportunity ot lis
tening to him and doing him honor.
Grant's Letter of Acceptance.
Washington, May 2'J.
Gen. Joseph It. Hawlc;/, President National
Union Republican Convention :
In formally accepting the nomination of
the National Union Republican Convention!
of the 21st of May instant, it seems proper
that some statement of views beyond the
mere acceptance of the nomination should be
expressed. The proceedings of the Conven
tion were marked with wisdom, moderation,
and patriotism, and I believe express tho
feelings of the great mass of those who sus
tained tho country through its recent trials.
I endorse tho resolutions. If elected to the
office ot President of the United States, il
will he my endeavor to administer all the
laws in good faith, with economy, and
with tho view of giving peace, quiet, and
protection everywhere. In times like tho
present, it is impossible, or at least, emi
nently improper, to lay down a policyato lie
adhered to, right or wrong, through an
administration of four year*.. New political
issues not foreseen are constantly arising.
The views ot the public oa old ones are
constantly changing, and a purely adminis
trative officer should always be left free to
execute the will of the people. I have
always respected that will, and always shall.
Peace and universal prosperity—its sequence,
with economy of administration—will lighten
the burden of taxation, while it constantly
reduces the National Debt. Let, us have
peace. With great respect,
Your obedient servant,
U. S. Grant.
DEMOCRA TIC ENDORSEMENTS OF
GRANT.
10 the New York II or/d belongs the
credit of having written more bitterly of
Andrew Johnson in March, of 1865, than
any other newspaper, and of pronouncing at
the same time the most unreserved eulogy of
General Grant. We have more than once
published its denunciation of the President
so soon forgotten and lot-given—and wo
could till columns with ils tributes to Grant,
if this were necessary to strengthen li is lujid
upon the confidence of the country. The
following extract will suffice :
11 anybody is so obtuse or so wrong
headed as lo see nothing great in General
Grant beyond hi* marvellous tenacity of will,
let that doubter explain, if ho can, how it
lias happened that, since Grant rose lo high
command, this quality iias always been ex
erted iu conspicuous energy precisely at the
point on which everything in his whole
sphere of operations hinged. There has
been m> display of great qualities ou small
occasions; no expenditure ol herculean
effort to accomplish objects of the first mag
nitude. It is only a very clear-sighted and
a very comprehensive mind that could always
thus have laid the whole emphasis ot an
indomitable soul so precisely on the emphatic
place.
llow, if he he not of a general of the first
order of intellect, as well us of tho most
heroic determination, does it happen that
in assigning great and brilliant parts to his
subordinate commanders, lie has never,
when the results of his strategy were fully
unfolded, appeared in tho picture except as
the central figure ? However it may scorn
during tho progress of one of his great
combined campaigns, it always turns out at
last, when it reaches that eompletenesj and
finish in which ho contrives to have his
campaigns end, that we see him standing
in tho foreground, and that the groopii.g is
always sucli that the glory of the other
generals, instead of eclipsing his own, gives
it additional lustre, it is this soreness of
judgment which sees precisely what arc die
objects that justify the utmost stretch of
persistence ; il is this ability to take in tl o
whulo field ol'view in just perspective iukl
due subordination of purls tlnit is the mark
of a superior mind. General Grant hai
taken out of the hands of all critics tin.
<[uestion whether it belongs to him. lie
has won his greatest triumph over the most
.skillful and accomplished general on the
other side ; over a general who foiled hint
long enough to prove Ins great mastery of
the art of war; and the completeness of
whose defeat is a testimony to Grant’s
genius such as a victory over any other
general of the Confederacy, or even an
early victory over Loo himself, could not
have given. Apply to General Grant what
test you will, measure him hy the magni
tude of the obstacles lie has surmounted, by
the value of the positions lie has gained, by
the fame of the antagonist over whom he
has triumphed, lay the achievements ot la's
most illustrious co-workers, hy the surencss
with which ho diroots his indomitable
energy to the vital point vvhieli is the key
pf a vast field of operations, or hy tlmt
suprotno tost of consummate ability, tho
absolute completcueM of bis results, and ho
vindicates hts claim to stand next after
Napoleon and Wellington, among the great
soldiers of this century, if not on a level
with the latter.
The New York Citizen , edited by Colonel
Charles G. Ualpine (Miles O’Reilly), on
the 23d ultimo, clinches this testimony as
follows:
The platform is so worded that even the
Democrats can scarcely take exception to
it, and the candidates are so moderate that
even Democrats might vote for them if it
were not for tho party they represent.
Grant and Colfax make a ticket hard to
heat. Tho wonderful military success of
the one, and the great political ability of
the other, can not he written down or
belittled by newspaper editors; and the
attempt to do so is a folly only worthy of
the late management of the Democratic
party. The hero of Donelson, Corinth,
most wonderful of all, of Vicksburg, and
finally of Richmond, is not a third rate
General, and no literary scribe can make
him one. The gentleman who lias worked
his way up to the Speakership of tho House
of Representatives is not a had politician,
and those who buy him for one will not
make a profitable bargain. Probably there
aro no two leading names stronger, indi
vidually or collectively, than the two which
have been put forward. And if they do
not receive the support of the people, it will
be from other than personal reasons. * * *
The Convention was powerful, dramatic,
and harmonious, and has the prestige of
success, which will draw many to its stand
ard. *****
Has Copperheadisin ever yet defeated loy
alty ? Can Pendleton overcome Grant ? It
Iris been our boast that there were more
Democratic than Republican soldiers in the
ranks of the loyal armies. Will these men
tight one way and vote another ? Having
whipped the enemy in the field, will they
vote him the victory in the council ? The
leaders who think so must be “Old Line
Whigs”—those most hopeless of political
drivellers. Can we go into this fight against
tho glories of Vicksburg, Donelson, Appo
mattox Courthouse, and a thousand other
famous fields, with “peace at any price” and
“the war a failure” inscribed on our ban
ners ?
These arc only, specimens. Thousands
more could be found in the Democratic pa
pers three years ago, almost as plentiful, in
fact, as their abuse of Johnson, their present
convenience. Os course the praise of Grant,
like the attacks on Johnson, are forgotten by
everybody hut the paper which loves the one
and despises the other.
John G. Whittier sends the following
rhythmic greeting to Colfax :
Colfax ! —well chosen to presido
O’er Freedom’s Congress, and to guide,
As one who holds the reins of fate,
The current of its great debate ;
Prompted by one too wise, and good,
And fair, withal, to be withstood.
Here, from our Northern river banks,
I send to thoo my hearty thanks
For all the patience which has homo
The weary loot of Ilunkum’s horn,
The hissing of tho Copperhead,
And folly dropping words ot load!
8ti!l wisely ready when the scale
Hangs poised to make the right prevail,
Still foremost, though secession’s head
Bo crushed, with scornful heel to trend
The life out from Us writhing tail!
As wise, firm, faithful to iho end
God koop thcc, prays thy sincere friend.
