National Eqmbliran AIHITtSTA. (>A. 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. TO OUJI country SUBSCRIBERS. We are now sending out bills (which are long past due) for Subscription. Those receivin" a reminder will please at once remit the amount, else their papers will he discontinued. 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 NATIONAL REPUBLICAN published every morning (Monday ex cepted) at Augusta, Ga., the home 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. The Repi iw.h an w ill always have all the NEWS- domestic, foreign, political, social, literary, and commercial -its pro prietors using enterprise and money to make the BEST possible Newspaper, as well us the Oil EA DUST. Its conductors will study condensation, clearness, point,- and will endeavor to present its readers, daily, with a summary ol the worlds doings in the most luminous and attractive manner. And, in order to place The Nation ai, Uepi iii.k an within the reach of all who desire a yooti daily newsjMi/ier, we present tin- following low terms ol subscript ion "FOR THE CAMPAIGN,” ( From mm till the Jirut of JteremlKr. | One <’o|*y $2 25 Five Copies jo 0 () T«n “ 00 Twenty “ 00 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. U. SfORANT.

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.” Cur this Out—Preserve It.—During the approaching Presidential campaign the ques tion will frequently arise, how many electoral voles are there, how many for each State, etc. For tho benefit of those who may not already know, wo give the following state ment : STATES REPRESENTED IN CONGRESS.
