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. TO Ol'li COUNTRY SURSCRtIIERS. We are mr.v seedin'; out bills (which are long past due) for Subscription. Those receiving a reminder will please nt once remit the amount, else their papers will be discontinued. 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 “FOR THE CAMPAIGN,” | From now HU the Jir.il of December. \ One Copy 512 25 Five Copies 00 Ten “ 18 00 Twenty “ ... .35 00 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 . . I*’or*Frt , »idont, .(TIEHkSt L. VALl.AXnifillAM, o!*Canad,a. Vivo President, C. \V. JVoi.lev, o! lint Vitiuflrßeatn Prison. 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. l’oor old Ad Interim Injs anew complaint, lie says that when ho demanded the War Office, Mr. Stanton called him n Thomas Cat. Ad Interim is mistaken. Ho is too old to hear straight. Mr. Stanton merely said, Thomas! Scat l FACETIAE. Visible neitc—Plymouth Sound. An objectionable plant—the croke-us. W hen did the ocean first beur grain ? In the time of Ce-crop. Why is the Maid of the Mist like pride ? Because it gocth before n fall. Why should the male sex avoid the letter A ? Because it makes men mean. What ihisg' plays more tricks than a monkey ? Mis-chief. When is wine liko a pig’s tooth ? When ’tia in a hogshead. What can a man have in his packet when it is empty ? A big hole. What most resembles the half of u sheep’s head? The other half. It is a mistake to suppose the sun is sup ported in the skies b f its beams. It is said that a miser’s chest is always heir-tight ns long as he lives. Every man should paddle his own canoe. The great difficulty is, to get a canoe. United States Securities—votes for Gen. Grant. Freedom ol the press—snatching a kiss from a pretty woman in a crowd. W anted, for chemical purposes—a “lady dissolved in tears.” It is asserted that a man with glass eyes can’t real eyes (realize) anything. The perfumer of the world—the centre of the earth. Who can doubt the wickedness of ballet girls, when they live by executing tbeir giaud pas ? Tbe Detroit l’ost says Ihe treachery of the Illinois Senator is foul ; but that of the Ten nessee Senator is Fowler. Pitch darkness has been so improved in latter times as to read “bituminous* ob scurity.” Look well to your daughters. Sparks falling upou your house are often less dan gerous than those coming into it. How many hens has your mother when it conics night ? None. They are all roosters. What proof have we that there was sew ing in the time of David? We read that 110 was hemmed iu on every side. “I have very little respect for tho ties of this world,” as the chap said when the rope was put round his neck. An exchange calls the bills of the gas companies tho heavy chargo of the light brigade. “The Flirt” is the suggestive name of a new jockey hat, which many of tiie fair ones can wear with great propriety. It is thought to be curious that a watch should keep so perfectly dry, when it has a running spring inside. It is singular that, in ltiakiug up boquets for danseuses, no florist has ever suggested fig leaves. Why is a hungry boy looking at a pud dling like a wild horse? Because he would Be all the belter if he Lad a bit in his mouth. A country paper says: “A cow was struck by lightning and instantly killed, belonging to the village physician, who had a beautiful calf four days old !’’ “Mynheer, do you know for what we calls our boy Hans'?” “Really, Ido not.” “Veil, I’ll tell you ; fler reason wo calls our bqv Hans—dat ish his name.” Fowl culture is being indulged in by the 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' dence of drunkenness when he secs a man “sticking a postage stamp behind his left ear and attempting to get into a letter-box to go by the mail train.” “Boys, what is all this noise in school ?’’ “It’s Bill Stykes imitating a locomotive..” “Come here, William, if you have turned into a locomotive, it’s time you were switched oft’.” All instructor in aschoql for young ladies, Berlin, has been discharged because be gave as a subject lor essays, “Sentiments and feelings at the sight ol an officer of cavalry.” Anatomists say that man changes "every seven years. "Therefore,” says the inimi table Jones, "my tailor should not remind me of tbe bill contracted in 1854—1 ain’t tbe man I” A man was suspected for scaling a horse, and was arrested. “What am 1 taken for?” he inquired of the Sheriff’. “I take you tor a horse,” was the reply; whereupon he kicked the Sheriff over and ran off. “Mr. Smith, I wish to speak to you pri vately. Permit me to take you apart a few moments.” Smith (who wasn’t tbe least frightened)—“Certainly, sir, if you’il prom ise to put me together again.” A “broad style” of Western man, visiting Boston, said nothing had surprised him so much ns to 3ee the New England farmers “boring holes in the rocks with gimlets to put in their grain.” "Why, out West,” lie added, “we put the grain 011 a table and lan it, and it comes up all around !” ■ —The Jewish Messenger says: “No sen aiblc Jews are taking part in the public meet ing called at St. Louis to opposo Grant. 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 Stovall’s Excelsior Mills.
