RKPUBLICAN PLATft'OHH.
Tht' National HepuWkau party of the United Suits,
AAsembled t» ¥ w *>f Chi
cago, on the 90th any of May, 186 R, nfftfee the following
DecUratidn of Principle# :
I*t. Vre conijidutatc the countrf on the assured Rite
««** of the policy of CoqmflL #!*
evinced by the In a majority of the States
lately in rebellion, of’fiOMUtutlona teeming equal tiivll
and political rights to all, and regard it aa tHe duly of
the Government to sustain those institution#, and to
prevent the people of such State# from being remitted
to a state of anarcKg
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 ami of justice,
and 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 notional honor requires the pay
ment of the public indebtedness, m the utmost good
faith, to ail creditors, at homo 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 ihe nation that 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 n fair period for redemption,
and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate or in
terest thereon, whenever it can honestly be done.
dtb. 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, opeu or covert, is threatened or sus
pected.
7th. The Government of the United States should he
ndminlsterod with the strictest economy, and the cor
ruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and
fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for ruiical re
form.
Bth. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic
death of AbrAham Lincoln, and regret the accffirtpn of
Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, who has acted
treacherously to the people who elected him and ihe
cause he was pledged to support ; has usurped high
legislative and judicial functions ; has refused to exe
cute the laws; has used his high ofiice to induce other
officers to ignore and violate the laws; has employed
his executive powers to reader 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 bis power, every proper
attempt at the reconstruction of the States lately in re
hellion; has perverted the public patronage into an
engine of wholesale corruption; and has been Justly
impeached for high crimes and 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 at war with our national
honor and independence. Naturalized citizens are enti
tled to be protected in all their rights or 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, in this country, ana if so arrested
and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government to
interfere in hisbeholf.
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. '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.
llth. 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 its sympathy with nil
the oppressed people which are struggling for their
rights.

For the Campaign !
THE eiIIIAPEST !* \ I‘l-llt IX
GEOItGI V !
The Presidential Campaign, for 1808,
will be the most important that lias ever
claimed the attention ol‘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.
The Republican modestly claims that
it has done good service in the Union
cause, and for the promotion of pure and
undcfiled 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 tile American people into one
Nation.
The Republican will heartily support
General Grant and Scuuyleu Colfax
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 seeure fair remune
ration for labor.
Tiie Rei'iblkan will 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 as the CHEAPEST.
Its conductors will study condensation,
clearness, point, and will endeavor to
present its renders, daily, with a summary
ol die world’s doings in the most luminous
and attractive manner.
Ami, in order to place The National
Km*i blican within the reach of all who
desire a good doily new*paj>cr, we present
the following low terms of subscription

CONGRESSIONAL.
In tho Senate, yesterday, the nulltftca’
tion of the relief clause in the Georgia
Constitution was confirmed by a large ma-
Mr. Steven** amendment (permit
ting relief clauses to operate for the benefit
of loyal persons) was defeated. An amend
ment wo* adopted, ordering the inaugura'
tion of State officers without unnecessary
delay, and declaring tol>c ineligible officers
elected, who arc excluded by Federal laws
or the provisions of the Fourteenth Article.
EX GOV. .UR OWN.
Our propriety neighbor across the street,
who, if "not dignified and critical, is
nothing, ’’ gives a half column under the
head “The Bight Doctrine,” and goes on to
say that “this anonymou -1 sefibbler is probably
some tool of the Georgia renegades,or, more
probably still, ay rautjielie of tho concern
which prints this effusion." We suppose Ire
alludes to un . article that appeared 1u our
paper of the 7ih inst., in which the author
as he there states, as an old, and now a
genuine ‘Democrat, seeks to do justice to
Governor Joseph E. Brown for his past ser
vices to the Slate of Georgia, while he di p
lecnles the asperities of the press and the
people ns to Governor B."s present honestly
entertained opinions io regard to the situa
tion of our country. Novi de plumes are
nothing if the sentiments expressed are of
the right sort ; nor do we propose to el.am.
pion any writer who secs tit to express his
sentiments through our columns. Tlugso
articles wo accept and print are from no
straw men, but from those abundantly able
to bike cure of themselves. “All die dig
ni ty men” need be under no apprehension
Mi U Governor Brown’s defence depends upon
anonymous writers or silly sentimentalities,
such ns is said to have been uttered by one
Murmaduko Johnson, of the unreclaimed
F. F. V’s, to General Wickham, at Ilanover
Courthouse, iu “Ole Virgiiiiiy.”
If the truth were known, we feel certain
that !lie words used by “Duke” Johnson
never were uttered—nud if they were, that
they would rend better and look more sensi
bly placed in one ol Mrs. South worth's or
Sylvituus Cobb's novels, which arc made to
get up a sensation, like the gas in lager bier,
and are nothing at last but foam and froth,
signifying 0. The chivalry die hard -like
tile turtle with his head off, the sun will soon
set, and with it the last gasp v?il! he given.
But they may be assured that Gov. Brown's
attain his former life, as Lawyer, Judge and
Governor, needs no defence, having been the
deeds of one conscientiously believing he
was right, and doing his duty as a repre
sentative man, in this age of the world’s his
tory, despite the intrigue of his opponents,
or the lukewarmness of pretended friends ;
and, what should be vlive most gratifying
reflection to Gov. Brown, and no less to bis
true friends, is, that he has made his inef
faceable mark, that cannot be obliterated by
time, or expurgated from the history yet to
be written of the United Stales of America*
We say the history yet to be written, because
the people have yet a position in which they
intend to place GOv. Brown, feeling well
satisfied that, in the fatuT, as in the | ast, he
will discharge the high trust r -pose-1 in him
with honor to himself and gratification to
l.is constituents.
COIN CON TU ACTS.
The Senate has passed a bill to make
contracts for the payment of coin collecta
ble in coin, just as contracts for paper
money arc now collectable in paper. This
action, if concurred in by the House of
Representatives and approved by the
President, will go a long way toward the
solution of the financial problem which so
greatly puzzles the political economists in
and out of the National Legislature. For,
as soon as our citizens are permitted to
revert to the universal currency of the
world, there will no longer be any such
complication of commercial accounts as
now prevails. Every merchant dealing in
imported goods, and every banker having
transactions with foreign countries, will
unquestionably return to specie payments,
in practice as well us in theory ; and the
example they will set will be followed,
first by the merchants of New York, and
gradually by those of the rest of the United
States. The consequence will be that
greenbacks will be used only in the settle
ment of contracts not yet terminated, and
will eventually either approach the value of
gold or go out of use altogether.
Grand National Circus! —By a letter
in yesterday’s Chronicle, we learn that “the
Cireus building in the vicinity of the
Academy of Music (Now York) will be
engaged for the accommodation of out*Lie
Southern delegations” at the -Itli-of-July
big Show in Gotham. It is thought that
the performances at the Grand National
Circus will boos a highly interesting char
acter. A clown of infinite jest, from
Augusta, has already volunteered for the
occasion, and strenuous efforts will be made
to secure the services of Master James, the
pet of the arena.
A DirricuLT Problem. —The "Conserva
tive soldiers” say, in their address, that Gen.
Grant “will be no stronger before the people
than the policy 1m represents, if the Demo
crats and Conservatives cordially unite and
nominate against him a statesman or a sol
dier, whose record ol patriotic service is as
unquestioned as lii.s own.” Exactly so. But
“a record of patriotic service ns unques
tioned” ns General Grant’s is very diliicult
to discover. The popular estimate is, that
no living man can present its equal. So tho
“Conservative Committee” have a hard job
on their hands.
Ok CoCh.se.—Tho Chronicle says “ The
Democrats of tho South will support any
man nominated by the Now York Conven
tion,” and hesitates not to say in advance
that “they will acquiesce in any platform
which may be adopted there, ovon by the
Northern delegates alone." In other words,
Master ltaiwey is right, after the woodchuck
—they’re out of meat.
Enthusiasm. —The Opposition papers
urlmit there was a big crowd at the Chicago
Convention, but deny tho existence of any
enthusiasm. Looking from a Democratic
standpoint, it is not strange those papers
should think so. A democrat can see no
enthusiasm where there is no one drunk. *
Dkmocbatio NoMit^TioNs.—Our Demo
cratic friends are hoping gqcat trouble in
finding suitable camlidktes fur fto empty
honor of leading the pvrty to defeat ibis
Fall, Their leading men all have question
able records of tho«fl|gh loyally during the
war, and occupy (some of them) more than
a doubtful position on the question of
honestly payiug our par debt. It has been
suggested that they'make up a martyr'a
ticket, and go life on the simple
issue of sympathy* «e further suggest that
the two great Dcgnq&nuie martyrs of (fee age
be put in' uiNj{iualtoifc*c . .

It is supposed that -uv-li a ticket would
dissolve the canting lih 01-Julv Convention
into tears and wash out all remembrances of
the historic “weeper's convention.” It is a
mutter of taste merely, ami the suggestion is
made bqgau.se of the difficulty, in which our
Democratw; friends find themselves. *
Another “War ov Hacks.”—Every few
days, if we are’to credit the lvu Klux
organs, we are just -pit the verge of a “war
of races.” Just mnv there is an excitement
iu certain quarters over the quarrel in
Washington between a white man and a
negro in which Ihe former was severely cut
with a razor. Formerly such things were
looked upon as individual affairs, involving
the interest of neither a nation nor a race.
Then, tho wish not being father to the
thought, nobody apprehended a “war of
races.” Why should wo fear an assault
from a party who must know that war is
sure extermination tqjiim ?
- ■ - -♦♦♦-
Tin: True Spirit.—Tho restoration, upon
just conditions, of tho mass of Southern
white men to full citizenship, protection to
the Union men South, civil rights to
the freedmen, permanent reconstruction on
the basis of loyalty alone, the nation’s debt
as sacred ns her graves, economy and equity
at home, and the maintenance of impartial
American citizenship both at home and
abroad—these are traits of the Republi
can platform. When were holier political
principles ever proclaimed? They mirror
the uncompromisingly Republican spirit of
the Convention, as it reflectedathe popular
devotion to every sentiment vital to the
glory and integrity pf (bo country. Tho
standard emblazoned with'jtfrcso principles
is consecrated to victory. F
Printing in Prison. Typographical
Failure at Sing Sing. —Tjie effort to intro
duce the art of printing,'says the New York
Evening Mail, of May 25th, into opr poni
teutiaries has proven so complete n failure
that it is not likely to be renewed fog many
rears to come.
On examination into the “facts” brought
forward in support of the effort, it was found
that of the fifty so called printers in the State
prison, but three were familiar with the trade,
i'lie rest were newsboys, blacksmiths,
pressmen, etc., who claimed to be printers,
and who were very ready to be called such
in hopes ol easy labor in learning to pick up
type. Some of them, indeed, were found by
the examining committee just learning to
read as a necessary preparation for the new
trade.
The bill which was passed at Albany not
only annulled all existing contracts made in
tbo name of the State, but provided that no
saliataction should be given for expenditures
already made 011 the strength of such
contracts.
It is unfortunate that any department of
popular industry should find a competitor iu
the State. It is wrong lor the Government
to permit those with whom it deals to
underbid the labor of honest men by using
that of criminals in bondage. It seemed
particularly unjust to ns to subject the
compositor*' trade to such unfair competi
tion. l’bis was because wo were prejudiced,
perhaps, in favor of a very important branch
ut journalism. It has been proven, however,
that the printers have nothing to fear. So
long u.s they are so very mii inly- represented
in the prisons as at present, no disagreeable
competition can possibly come from that
direction.
Lighting Street Lamps iiy Electricity.
-The Boston Traveller says:
At the Institulo ol Technology, on Friday,
Professor Win. B. Rogers presiding, there
was exhibited a working model of anew
invention lor lighting the street gas from a
centre point by electricity. There are now
in Do -t 111 5,000 street lamps, and tho cost of
help to lake care ol them is $12,000. Be
tween tho time when the lighting is begun
and when it is finished, mooli gas is unne
cessarily used, and it is calculated that tho
saving tr >m this and other sources by the
application ol tiie apparatus will lie $50,000
a year.
The pni' deal operation, last evening,
before ihu Institute of Technology called
forth beany applause. Connected with each
gusli/ht there will ho a little box. In the
box there will ho a valve worked by u notched
wheel. 'Each pulsation of the oleclric fluid
over tlie wire moves ono notch of tho wheel,
and eighly pulsations turn the wheel half
round, and the valve is thus slowly opened ;
iho moment it is open a flush of electricity
from a UhumkofF coii, also concealed in the
box, lights the gas. The gas is turned off
by setting the electricity at work again on
the notched wheel, and with eighty pulsa
tions in twenty seconds the wheel is turned
half round, and the valve is closed. Tho
valve its made in such a way that it cannot
get out nl order, being simply raised or
dressed in a socket by the action of the
wheel.
The current to work the wheel is arranged
by n wire, which passes through a circuit of
fifty lamps and returns to tho instrument or
office where it is started. A second wire,
similarly arranged, is required to change the
RhumkofY coils. There is, ot course, a coil
and wheel to each gaslight.
The batteries ol the office are not worked
by hand, as the telegraph operntor works by
tapping witli bis linger, but by a piece of
clock work called the automatic “circuit
breaker,” which makes its eighty "ftips of its
own accord when tho spring is touched, ami
then stops, and eighty taps more when the
spring is again pushed, and so on. It is
proposed to divide a city into eight districts.
In each district there will be a “circuit
breaker” connecting with all the gaslights in
that district. At the City Hall there will be
a central ollico; here there will be a central
battery ; eight wire* will go to the eight
“circuit breakersa man at the central
office will touch his instrument, and that will
flash a current that will move the springs ot
tho eight district “circuit breakers,''and in
twenty seconds more every burner in the city
will lie lighted.

ladies. “I have got a henery,” said a young
lady to her cousin. “Dear me,” was the
reply, “I thought his name was Charles.”
A little girl, seven years old, was recently
called as a witness in a police court, and, in
answer to a question as to what becomes of
little girls who tell falsehoods,she innocently
replied that they were sent to bed.
Mr. Robinson thjnks it a conclusive evi'

by the mail train.”
“Boys, what is all this noise in school ?’’

A “broad style” of Western man, visiting
Boston, said nothing had surprised him so

They would only be the tools of designing
politicians, who have no love for the Union,
Hnd who seek to create a sentiment in favor
of-principles and men antagonistic to the
true interests of all good citizens. If Hebrew
members of the Republican party decline to
support its caudidate, they will certainly do
so on their individual account, anil need no
pressure. They will not identify themselves
as Jews with any partizan movement. A
minister of a Jewish congregation once
preached a political sermon, to the surprise
and regret of his brethren. The experiment
has not been often repeated. Israelites are
too intelligent and too self-asserting to be
driven or led by their ministers, especially in
matters that have no connection with reli
