WEDNESDAY MORNING Juno 10. 1868
For PRESIDENT
Os thk United States:
ULYSSES S. Git WT.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT:
Schuyler Colfax,
OF IXD/AXA .
HKPI RIICAN PLATFORM.
The National Republican party of the l/nlted State.*,
assembled in National Convention, in the city of Chi
cago, on the 90th day of May, 186s, make the following
Declaration of Principles :
lat. We congratulate the country on the assured suc
cess of the reconstruction policy of Congress, as
evinced hy the adoption, in a minority of the Slates
lately in rebellion, of Constitution* securing equal civil
aud 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 fVom being remitted
to a state of anarchy.
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 be maintained, while the question of suffrage
tit 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, iu 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.
4tli. It is due to the labor of ihe nation that taxation
should be equalized and reduced as rapidly as the na
tional faith will permit.
sth. Thq national debt, contracted, ns it lias been, for
the preservation of the Uuiou for all time to come,
should be extended over a fair period for redemption,
ami 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 tang as repudiation,
partial or total, open or covert, is threatened or sus
pected.
Tth. 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 rulUal re
form. f
Bth. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic
death of Abraham Uncoln, aud 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; has used his high ofllce to induce other
officers to iguore 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 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 nerverted 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 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 nt war with our national
honor and independence. Naturalized citizens are enti
tled to be piotected in all their rights of citizenship as
though they were natural born, and no citizen of the
United native or naturalized, must be 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 the campaign and cruise, and imperilled
their lives in the service of the country, 'l’ho 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, tho 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 nil
the oppressed poofgo which are struggling for their
rights.

We are now sending out bills (which are
long past due) for Subscription. Those

For the Campaign !
THK CIIIIAPEST IMI'EK l\
REOKGI.I !
The Presidential Campaign, for 1808,
will lie 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

Governor elect.
Thk llepi rj.ka.n 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 loyalty to the Union, and will
resist every attempt to weaken the bonds
that unite the American people into one
Nation.
The Kkim'isi.h an will heartily support
General Gkant and Seituvx.KH Coj.fax
for the responsible positions for which
they 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.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR
TITE PRE&IDENGY.
T hem seems to be considerable stir
among the Ku Klux Klans of Democracy
us to who shall he put on the Presidential
track for the November races. Chase,
Pendleton, Hancock, and others, are spoken
of, and the various sections arc putting
forth every effort to get nags in for tho
dead bait so surely to follow-—no matter
which of these men is the happy c hoice of
the Fourth of July Convention! Some
Georgia editors are wondrously exercised,
and prate about Democracy as if they
knew its first principles, and were reared
upon the Jacksonian principles of true
Democracy. It is amusing to hear them
thus ventilate their gas upon the various
matters always coming up in die
tion of a great party, suggesting this caVtl
to be played out, or that trump to he le;l,
knowing as little of the game that the
Pendleton Atml Seymours and others intend
to, and always have played, as children.
Taking their cue from the Wisconsin
Danton of so-called Democracy, making a
text hook and prayer hook of the vile
creature's still viler slie.-t, we are not left
to conjecture from whence is derived the
choice language and vulgar epithets so
profusely interlarded in their lengthy
vapidisms. The contrast between the two
Conventions—the one past and tho one to
come on the 4th proximo—will no doubt
lie astonishing to the Democracy (so-called)
themselves. In (lie one case we, tho Re
publican party, were united on great and
enduring principles. We had no score of
aspirants for the first ottice, hut with un
surpassed unanimity selected Gen. Gkant.
For the second office complimentary votes
were cast for several gentlemen, hut the
nomination of Speaker Colfax was very
nearly a unit.
How will it be at New York ? Will it
be a second edition of nearly every other
Democratic Convention of the past ! We
think it will be infinitely worse. In a
wild hunt after the spoils, the “outs”
never fail to jostle and juggle, and lie, if
need he, to get “in;' combinations arc
formed, aspirants are choked off, and,
from present appearances, there will have
to be a good deal of labor performed in
that way. llow many “manhood suf
frage” Chascites will slough off if he is
beaten we can not tell, for we can not see
how lie can be reconciled to Western
men, who have so emphatically opposed
the doctrine. Bcyllaon one side—Charyb
dis on the other, and many other hidden
rocks in the narrow channel between—the
National Democratic Party will find the
prestige of its name has been swallowed
up by the “fish, flesh, and fowl” concomi
tants of its organization at the present
time. Viewed in any light, then, we look
for a stormy session, and, as a last resort,
the nomination of some third rnte man—
perhaps with a jpilitarv record, perhaps
with none—-ns the candidate in tlie first
place on the ticket; and for the second
place, either Seymour, of New York, or
some other “old Inner,” with the faint
hope of catching the same class of voters.
Well, let them put out their steeds, mount
their riders, and away; hut yes, but
- they’ll find it is no common but
they'll find that Gkant and Colfax will
leave them so far behind in the race, there
will be great inquiry in a short while
amongst them, “Did we run anybody?”
Beware of the “Ides of November,” sirs, of
tlie I hmoeraey !
THE FUTURE.
Men may play the traitor, hut the battle
for the right, though “bailledoft, is always
won.” The Republican party is not
worth saving if it has not virtue and
patriotism enough to save itself, and to
“pluck from the nettle danger the flower
safety.” We grieve only because the honor
of the Republic has been stained by its
failure to discard a President who has
disgraced it, and by the conduct of .Sena
tors who have cast no honest vote. We
grieve because of the peril to which the
Republic will now he exposed, and the
delay yet to he endured before it can
reach a just and permanent peace. From
this time until November, the ration will
be upon the rack of suspense, the regen
eration of the South will he deferred, and
tho peace of the land will he at the mercy
of a bad man, emboldened by impunity.
It may be that years of strife must conic
before the cause baffled by his acquittal
shall win its final triumph. But every
year lifts the people to a higher education,
and the delay, however trying and painful,
will only make the triumph more com
plete when it comes.
The Republican party has at least tried
to rid the country of this disturber of its
peace, and, whatever may happen, it is no
longer responsible for his misdeeds. 111 the
long years to come, the names of one hun
dred and forty-one Representatives and
thirty-fiveSenutors—whom neither ambition
nor revenge could seduce, and whose votes
neither office nor gold could buy—-will he
remembered with gratitude and honor.
If the defeat teaches only one lesson, it
will not be in vain. We have had enough
of mere foundlings, tossed into office to
keep them from starving; enough of mere
adventurers, whose convicting fluctuate
with the market rate; enough of cowardly
trimmers and calculating worshipers of
expediency, who care for the country only
as a farmer values a good milch cow be
cause it gives sustenance to tlicir families
and friends. The Republican party must
henceforth put trust only in men of proved
principle, tried fidelity, and a character
that places them above temptation. Choos
ing such men, and rising in courage ns the
difficulties before it increase, it. will not
only win, hut its victory, when won, will
mean something.
The acquittal of Mr. Johnson makes
the Republican party more necessary than
ever. Made bold by this victory, and
assured that all the power and vast pat
rotutge of the President will now he
unscrupulously used to aid them, the
Democrats will spurn all disguise, demand
control of the men who tried to destroy
the government, and light with determina
tion and hope. It is no small gain that
the Republican party is henceforth eman
cipated from the emasculating influence of
false leaders, and goes into the fight with
only tried men at the guns. The very
blow which traitors have allied at the life
of the Republican party gives it new vigor,
for it makes that party more necessary
than ever to tho republic. No combina
tiou can defeat u party which so links
itself to the very existence of the nation
that its defeat is a national peril, and its
victory the only hope of national welfare
and safety. Nerved by danger, the party
closes its ranks ami moves forward. It
can not falter. Its standards will not be
lowered. The honor, the peace, the very
lire of the nation, are now in its care.
With it go the prayers of every loyal man
at the South and of every patriot nt the
North—with it the anxious thoughts and
longing hopes of every man in any land
who loves free institutions, and has faith
in self govern ment. True to itself, it can
not fail. *
SOUTHERN STATE OFFICERS.
A telegram announces that in the House
of Representatives, yesterday, the bill to
inaugurate the ollicers elect in the Southern
States had its third reading, and was passed.
Now then.
Since tho above was in type, wo have
received a later telegram, which gives the
entire bill., *
THE OMNIBUS BILL.
It will be seen that in the Senate, yester
day, Alabama was added to the “Omnibus
bill” by a vote of twenty two to twenty one.
The bill was under discussion nil day.
CURRENCY.
I hose who favored an additional issue of
irredeemable paper money, have persistently
attributed the depression in business to a
scarcity of currency. From this basis it has
been argued that further issues would give
business anew start and change the results
of trade from that of loss to profits.
The people, however, are getting from
under the influence of tho delusion, and it
becomes evident that a superabundance of
cheap money does not exercise that magic
influence upon business that was anticipated;
and as the further discovery is made that
the depression in trade is caused by the
natural reaction which always follows infla
tion, coupled with a series of crop failures*
While the leading articles of food are at
famine prices, no reasonable, intelligent
inun will be able to argue himself into the
belief that currency is scarce ; or that the
depression in trade can be fairly attributed
to a want of paper money. No use of people
undertaking to deceive themselves upon this
point. It is true that money is scarce in the
country, but this is beeause people are
deficient in those articles which can bo
exchanged for,money. This being the case,
an inflation of the currency would aggravate
rather than modify the evil complained of,
us it would enhance the value of commodities
which people arc compelled to buy, while
the producing classes have little to sell.
But Ihe present condition of affairs
places lhc question beyond the range of
controversy. In all the commercial centres)
money, at the present time, is over
abundant. In New York, for example, tho
rate of interest is down to 3 i4 per coat, on
call loans, and banks are unable to find
employment for their balances. At the
West there is also more money than can he
used, and currency is being sent to New
York where banks pay 3a t per cent, on
deposit, which is hard, just now, on those
banks. Asa consequence National securi
ties that bear equal to 8 per cent, currency
interest are selling at a net premium of
8a 10 per cent,, and 10 per cent, railroad
securities bring a premium of 10.,20 per
cent., while stocks that pay no dividends in
prospect, are bringing 80a95 per cent.
If, therefore, an abundance of cheap
money could revive general business, trade
would be active where it is stagnant. This
state of things proves conclusively that
business men do not believe in the inflation
theory. They know that crop failures arc
Ibe cause of tho depression. They know
that the country is poor because the crops
of 1800 and 1807 were largely deficient,
and tlicir hopes for better times are based,
not upon an increased supply of currency,
but upon good crops of 'cotton, corn, wheat,
and other agricultural products, in 1808.
If the crops this year result as they now
promise, tho people who produce will have
much to se 1 ; the purchasing power of the
greenback dollar will lie increased ; money
will flow from the commercial cenircs, where
it is a drug, into the hands of tho people,
where it is scarce ; good times will he ex.
perieneod, and there will bo an end of the
croaking about a scarcity of currency. *
Coi’ktkous. -The elegant young gentle
man now daily writing himself down an
Ass, through the columns of the Macon
Journal, and who, by a stretch of courtesy,
calls the National Refuulican “a news
paper,” is excused—as lie really don’t know
any better. Poor young man ! He is the
identical youth who, during the late un
pleasantness, acted upon the idea of okl
Richelieu, that “tho pen is mightier than
the sword,” with which weapon he distin
guished himself in the “,V. N. V." Having
safely returned from the wars, the valiant
Sccesh warrior is now engaged in demol
ishing “Radical*” with a weapon similar
to the one used by Sampson —the jawbone
of an Ass.

Woodchuck. While it is sedulously
proposed ift some quarters that the stout
slashing, defiant, un terrified old Demo
crude parly should change its nature and
simmer down into inanity and conservatism,
the more vital elements of the Democracy
seem to he resolved on maintaining its
early character and its ancient renown. In
this seuse, the States and Union, one of the
most outspoken journals ol New England,
jeers nt the notion of a Conservative Democ
racy, as follows : w
It is solid consolation to be conservative.
It is an anchor to the soul both sure and
steadfast, and will anchor it in heaven,
perhaps, but more likely in the other place,
because conservatives never climb, but
gravitate. It is against their principles
to move up or move on. That is aggressive.
They must be conservative or they are
nothing. Conservatives are not offensive.
They never tread on anybody’s corns. They
are a very modest, moody, solemn class of
brethren, who believe in letting the world
wag. Why shouldn’t it wag ? It was made
to wag, and better let it wag. We are called
upon to unite, harmonize, fraternize, bed.
board, and fight with conservatives, but we
don’t see where that comes in. There’s no
fight in them, and we arc for putting them
back in the rear to take care of the baggage
and provisions, and bury the dead. They
arc honest, and will make good undertakers.
But kept back in the rear, and brave men,
fighting men, Democratic mettle and muscle
to the front. Get back, you
are right in the way.”
It will be different to bring the exuberant
spiflt3 of these positive and aggressive men
down to the policy of nominating Judge
Chase instead of their favorite Pendleton ;
but yet, as wc intimated the other day, it
cau be done. The story of the boy digging
for the woodchuck, illustrates the whole
situatiou: “Yes, sirree ! I must have him 1
We're out of meat.”
