ULYSSES S. GRANT.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT:
Schuyler Colfax,
OF t SOI ASA.
rktibmi an I’f.ATroiim.
The Kathiuet Keputtk-ma party of the I'uttoit Stales,
assembled tn Kallotial Convention, in tho city of Chi
cago, on the 20th day or May. IWB, make tho following
lvrlaration of Triumph's :
l*t. Wo congratulate the country mi the assured anc
cea-s of the reconstruction policy of Congress, at
evinced by the adoption. In a majority or the States
lately in rebellion, of Constitutions securing equal civil
and political rtgbls to all. and regard It as the duty of
the tioveruiuent to sustain those institution*, ami to
prevent the people of such State* from being remitted
to a state of anarchy.
2«1. 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,
ami must be 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 as a na
tional crime, and the national honor requires the pay
ment of the public indebtedness, m the utmost good
faith, to all creditor*, at home and abroad, not only
according to tho letter, but the spirit of the laws
under which it was contracted.
4th. It is due to the labor of ilio nation that taxation
should be equalized and reduced ns rapidly as the na
tional faith will permit.
sth. The national debt, contracted, ns it has been, for
the preservation of the Union fur all time to come,
should be extended over a fair period for redemption,
aud 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 bunion 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.
Tth. The Government of the United States tdumld be
administered with the strictest economy, and the cor
ruptions which have been so .shamefully nursed and
fostered by Andrew Johuson call loudly for rulijal re
form.
Bth. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic
death of Abraham Lincoln, aud regret the accession of
Andrew Johnson to the I’residency, who has acted
treacherously to tho people who elected him ami the
cause he was pledged to support : has usurped high
legicUtive and judicial functions: has refused to exe
cute the laws; has used his high office to imlnco 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; has abused the
pardoning power; has denounced tho 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 and misdemeanors, ami
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, 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 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 and imprisonment, by any foreign power, for acts
done, or words spoken, iu this country, and if so arrested
aud imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government to
interfere in his behalf.
10th. Os all who were faithful iu 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 the 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
oppressed of all nations, should be fostered ami encour
aged by a liberal and Just policy.
12th. This Convention declares its sympathy with all
the oppressed people which sre struggling for their
right*.

THE 4 IIEAPEST PAPER l.\

The Presidential Campaign, for ISOS,
will be the most important that lias ever
claimed the attention of American citizens.
Our Republican friends, who realize the
advantages to be secured by the dissemi

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 weaken the bonds
that unite the American people into one
Nation.
Tiie Repi iu.k an will heartily support
General Grant and Si iiuvj.ku Colfax
for the responsible positions for which
they have been nominated. It will advo

BK UT AND DOING.
The Republican party liava nominated
ULYSSES B- Ghaut for President and
Bcm YUtn Colfax for Vice President, and
the purpose is to elect this ticket. It ought
to be, anil it can Ire elected. Confidence
and enthusiasm will not do it. Work,
labor, and organization am accomplish it.
Nothiny rl»e trill.
We have thirty days in whic h wo can so
far pcrlcct our organization before the
Democratic ticket is in the field, that, if
we do our duty, we can achieve an immense
advantage. Every town anil village must
l>c canvassed and organized. Wc should
stop at nothing short of this. It will not
do to rely upon enthusiasm. On ant’s name
is a tower of strength, and Colfax is popu
lar. Ho far so good. We gain much from
this; but we gain more by work and or
ganization than we can possibly gain by
any overweening confidence in the strength
of our ticket*, or in the fact that our princi
ples are sound, ns we know they are.
It lias been well said that it will not do
to calculate upon any divisions in the
Democratic party. They may tight and
quarrel like cats mid dogs before tlic
nomination, but when their ticket is a fixed
fact then their party is a unit. It does not
matter \s ho tlieir candidate may be. Brick
Pomeroy, C. L.Vnllandigham, Judge Chase,
Fred Douglass, William Lloyil Garrison,
IVemlel Phillips or Itansc Wright, even
supposing these men would consent, or
some unknown black or white man, no
matter who, the Democracy will rally to a
man in support of the ticket which shall be
nominated at New York on the 4th of July
What Mr. Calhoun so aptly character
ized as the ‘xoliesivc power of public plun
der” rules the Democratic party leaders and
people. They want the spoils. They have
been fora long time out in the cold. They
mean to get in—if they can. It does not
signify who shall lead them; the spoils
they want, and any thing that promises
them the control of the thousand millions,
more or less, of patronage, will be accepted,
gladly accepted. Every Democrat will
endorse Mr. Greely’s view, “universal suf
frage and universal amnesty,” or “univer
sal suffrage and amnesty” when they can
get it, or vice term. It matters not what,
so that they get nt the patronage. To a
Democrat power, patronage, plunder is
everything ; principle is nothing.
We say, therefore, to our people, every
where, organize—know your men, in
fluence the doubtful; delay not a single
day. Do your whole duty. Cultivate all
the enthusiasm that is in tin- ranks. You
can but teork ! work ! WORK! from now
to the day of election.
ADMISSION OF TllU STATUS
Whenever a State has fully complied
with the requirements of Congress, it should
be admitted as quickly as possible. If
any of the Southern States have failed in
any particular, it will remain for Congress
to say whether the failure is really mate
rial, or only iu a toclmicalily or form.
Unless it is really a material failure, we
believe Congress would tin wisely to admit
the State at once—no matter how it may
vote. The whole eounlry desires the set
tlement of this question. Congress will do
well to show every disposition to settle
it without captious quibbling or needless
delay. *
TIIU DIFFERENCE.
The difference between a Northern and
a Southern Democrat is, that the former,
with few exceptions, has loir prejudices,
and the latter hi<jh prejudices. If thrown
into the same circle, the one set would
be the boot-blacks of the other, pretty
much as they have been politically. The
point to be adjusted is, to find out how
much can be conceded to Southern preju
dice without alienating tin; “respectable’’
portion of their party North.
Cilieumstances Ai.teu Casks.— The K.
K. organ, up town, calls a Democratic
colored man an esteemed citizen; hut if he
he a Republican, why then lie is a “nigger.”
For the National Republican.
IIOF. JOSEPH E. HIIOWS.
Tile writer of this article has been a con
sistent Democrat from his earliest manhood,
anil still cherishes the principles, while lie
approves die general policy <•(' that party,
lie opposed ami voted against the Constitu
tion framed by the Atlanta Convention.
Politically he has, and still docs, occupy a
position of absolute antagonism to Radical
ism in all its forms. With Governor Brown,
lie does not agree upon present political
issues. He could have wished that his course
had been otherwise. But he Ims neither
sympathy with, nor respect for the vulgar
anil virulent assaults that arc continually
being made upon him by the ignorant and
illiterate penny-a-liners, “who have ever
made the singular mistake of supposing that
passion, denunciation, and cavy are the
element.-; of success.” That strong emotions
should at times find expression in the
language of energy, and even of indignation,
excites no wonder, because it is natural;
but wisdom, justice, and charity alike are
shocked and disgusted by the Billingsgate
that disgraces this remarkable secular epoch.
Surely the advocacy, of round principles, and
a wise and enlightened public policy, does
not require the language of vituperation and
low personal abuse. The voice of Reason
has ever been unchoked by Passion. Indeed,
there are few higher evidences of weakness
and error than violent anil intemperate forms
of speech. Wo have no doubt that- tho
hotspurs of the Democratic party lost it
thirty thousand votes in the late election.
No intelligent, man will deny that Governor
Brown has great abilities. Thousands who
now join in the abuse it is fashionable to
heap upon him, once rejoiced in his leader
ship. Is he so much less wise than then--
so iiiiii li less honorable—that every virtue
must bo denied him? Can the fact that lie
now differs from hi* former followers ho
accounted for only upon the hypothesis that
lie is an apostate null a villain 7 The writer
as already said, doe* not approve Governor
Brown’s policy, or rather the policy he
nilmwa/cK, lint he doc.i believe him to
be as honest, as sincere, as patriotic
as any of Georgia's distinguished, or un
distinguished, sons. Ho was, in the estima
tion of impartial men, one of ll»* very ablest
Executive officers tho State ever had.
None, cerluinly, ever contributed more to
her prosperity, or administered her govern
ment with greater enoegy or fidelity ; and
to day, we firmly believe no >mun within
her limits, has her host intcr*»ts closer to
his heart than this eminent citizen. Wo
think he is mistaken in bis judgmont, but
honestly mistaken. Reason, observation
and experience nil teach us a man would
not willingly and deliberately sacrifice all
that is dour to him, and who has, or can
liavo, a deeper interest in tho peace, happi
ness and prosperity of Georgia, than Gov.
Brown 7 It is his home, the birth place of
liis children, anil the seouo of his early
struggles uuil his later triumphs. Is there
any limit to that fanaticism which produces
alienation of friendships and social ostra
eisni for opinion's sake ? It was not always
thus in Georgia. Iu 1860, when political and
party feeling ran higher than ever before,
Gov. Johnson and Mr. Stephens could
differ from the policy of their partv, and
advocate the claims ot jlouglas," while
other patriotic citizen- urged those of Mr.
Bell, without being denounced as traitors,
liars, and p ijured villains. Surh terms
were then unknown to our political nomen
clature. And if* L), inocraey should he
ultimately damned, its death may he traced
to the virulence, violence aud fanaticism of
.its friends. In its own hou.se will it lie
slanglilereil; “lor whom thtfgjds would

To Admit lh Stutes of North Carolina,
South Caru'ina, Louisiana, Georyia, and
Alabama, l<> Represen'alion in Congress.
Wms iiKas, Tli ■ people of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, and
Alabama have, in pursuance of the provisions
of an Act entitled “An Act for the more
efficient government of the rebel States,”
passed March second, eighteen hundred and
■sixty seven, and the Acts supplementary
thereto, framed Constitutions of State gov
ernments which are republican in form, and
have adopted said Constitutions by large
majorities of the votes cast at the elections
held for the ratification or rejection of the
same: Therefore,
He it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, That the
States of North Carolina, South Carolina,
Louisiana, Georgia, and Alabama shall be
entitled anil admitted to representation in
Congress as States of the Union when the
Legislatures of said States respectively
shall have duly ratified the amendment to
the Constitution of the United States pro
posed by tho Thirty Ninth Congress, and
known as article fourteen, upon the follow
ing fundamental condition: That the Con
stitutions of said States shall never be
amended or changed so as to discriminate
in favor of or against any citizen or class
of citizens of the United States in their
right to vote who are now entitled to vote
by said Constitutions respectively, excopt
as a punishment for such crimes as are
now felonies at common law, whereof they
shall have been duly convicted; and no
person shall ever be held to service or labor
as a punishment for crime in said States
except be public officers charged with the
custody of convicts by the laws thereof: and
that so much of the seventeenth section of
the fifth article of the Constitution of the
State of Georgia as gives authority to Legis
latures or Courts to repudiate debts con
tracted prior to the first of June, 1805, and
similar provisions in all other of the Consti
tutions mentioned in this bill, shall be null
and void as against all men who were loyal
during the whole time of the rebellion, and
who, during that time, supported the Union,
and they shall have same rights in the
Courts and elsewhere ns if no rebellion had
ever existed.
Skc. 2. And be it furthir enacted, That if
the day fixed for the meeting of the Legisla
turc ol cither of said States by the Constitu
tion thereof shall have passed before tho
passage of this act, such Legislature may be
convened within thirty days after the passage
of this act by the President of the Conven
tion which framed the Constitution of such
State.
Sec. 3. And he it Jurlher enacted, That
the first section of this act shall take effect
when the President ol the United States
shall officially proclaim the duo ratification
by the Legislatures of said States respec
tively of article fourteen of the amendment
of the Constitution of the United States pro
posed by the Thirty Ninth Congress ; and it
is hereby made the duly of the President,
within ten days after receiving official ratifi

of either of said Slates, to issue a proclama
tion announcing that lact.
From tho New York Times, j
“LET US HAVE PEACE!"
General Grant's letter, accepting the Re
publican nomination for President, is a gem.
it says just enough, and not a word too
much. It is clear, unmistakably explicit on
every point, and as modest and unpretend
ing as Grant is himself. Its tono is thor
oughly patriotic, anil in full sympathy with
the people upon the great principles of Re
publican government.
Gen. Grant characterizes the proceedings
ol the National Convention as having been
marked by “wisdom, moderation, and patri
otism and he is unquestionably right in
believing that they express the feelings of
the great mass of those who sustained their
country during its recent trials. No Con
vention has ever met which more billy em
bodied the sentiments and opinions of tile
people than did the Convention at Chicago.
Os the resolutions adopted, and of his
own seinimeutt) on Iho subjects involved
in the eauvass, General Grant proceeds to
say :
“I indorse their resolutions, and if olecle-1
to the office of President of the United
States it will be my endeavor to administer
all the laws in good faith, with economy,
and with the view of giving peace, quiet
and protection everywhere. In times like
tho present it is impossible, or at least
eminently improper, to lay down it policy
to be adhered to, right or wrong, through
an administration of four years. New
political issues not foreseen are coustantly
arising, tho views of iho public on old ones
are constantly changing, anil a purely
administrative officer should always be left
free to execute tho will of tho people. I
always have 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.”
No language could tnoro fully or more
explicitly embody the dominant wish of the
American people than that with whieh-the
General closes this admirable lettor : “Let
ns have peace !’ It is tho wish nearest the
heart ol all classes .ill States and all
section*. Peace ;i settled, just, ami per
manent Peace - not merely the emi ol
war, but iho i-Ld of the discord, resentment,
and hatred, which survive the war is ivlmt
the American people, without distinction ol
section, of party, or of race, most of all, at
this moment, most fervently desire. They
see in it the indispensable condition and
the sure guarantee ol tho ‘‘universal pros
perity” which Gen. Grant justly and fitly
say* is “its sequence." It is the beginning
of the nation’s eonvalesonco. When it
comes, the wounds of war will begin to
heal: the losses of war can he ropaired ;
the life of the nation, paralyzed, and
checked by war, will again start forth and
renew, with augmented vigor and force, the
development of the nation's strength.
And tho country will recognize In tho
victorious General who closed tho war and
put tho finishing Mow to tho rebellion
out of which it grew, the man, best fitted
of nil, to giro the nation that peace whose
worth lie understands so well. His election
will reassure the country, in all its parts,
that the reign of peace—under tho protec
tion of tho law and the Constitution—has
again begun. Every branch of industry—
every department of public and of private
activity—labor in all its forms—enterprise,
adventure, cnorgy in sill tho shapes and
channels through which their results aro
achievod, will experience anew anomoro
vivid life, and will pour into tho nation’s
lap richer and more abundant fruits.
The whole country repeats tho demand
“ Let us linve pence,”—and will regard
Grant’s election as the harbinger of its
coining.
