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*. ro nun country season mu its.

THE 4 IIEAPEST PAPER l.\ G KORCi I t ! 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 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, On., the home of the Governor elect. The Kepi hi,h an modestly claims that it has done good service in tiie Union cause, and for the promotion of pure and 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 cate retrenchment and economy in the public expenditures, and Lbe 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.

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 destroy they first make mud/' Sknkx. .1 HILL 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 cation of said amendment by the Legislature 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. PERSONAL ITEMS. Sheridan has left Leavenworth lor further West.
