IS«* Por PHBMDENT 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. TO OUll COUNTRY SUBSCRIBERS.

Our Republican friends, who realize the advantages to be secured by the dissemi nation of political truths through the medium of a well conducted daily journal, should, at once, organize CTuljjt for the purpose of increasing the subscription list anil efficiency of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN published every morning < Monday ex cepted; at Augusta, (in., the home of the Governor elect.

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. ■♦ ♦♦ Wo lake the liberty of pulilialmig the following, and -will Lo happy to meet our Irieml at any time when lin visit* Augusta : Junk 3d, 1808.

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.
