TUESDAY MORNING..! Jun* 16, 1868
Voi* PRESIDENT
Or the United States:
111 SSI'S S. GRANT.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT:
Schuyler Colfax,
OF IS DIANA.
It ICIMItLH'.IN platfoiih,
The Rational Republican party of the Uni tad States,
aaaembled in National Convention, in tho city of Chi
cago, on the 80th day of May, 1868, make the following
Declaration of rrinclplea :
lat. We congratulate the country on the assured suc
cess of the reconstruction policy of Congress, a 3
evinced by the adoption, in a majority of the States
lately in rebellion, of Constitutions eecuriug equal civil
and political rights to all, and regard It as the duty of
the Government to abstain those Institutions, and to
prevent the people of such State* from 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 publio safety, of gratitude aud of Justice,
and must be maintained, while the question of suffrage
In ail the loyal States properly belongs to the people of
those States.
3d. We denounce all forms of repudiation ns a na
tional crime, and the national honor requires the pay
ment of the public indebtedness, in the utmost good
faith, to all creditors, at home and abroad, not only
arcording to the letter, but the spirit of the laws
under which it wus 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 a fair period for redemption,
and 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 long as repudiation,
partial or total, open or covert, is threatened or sus
pected.
7th. 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 radical re
form.
Bth. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic
death of Abraham Lincoln, and regret the accession 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; lias used his high office to induce 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; lias 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 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. Ihe doctrine of Great Rritain 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 ami independence. Naturalized citizens are enti
tled to be piotectedin all their rights of citizenship ns
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, and if so arrested
and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government to
interfere in hfs 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 tho 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 and encour
aged by a liberal and just policy.
12th. This Convention declares its sympathy with ail
the oppressed people which are struggling for their
rights.

The Presidential Campaign, for 1808,
vvili 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 -t

cepted) at Augusta, Ga.. the home of the
Governor elect.
Tins Republican modestly claims tlint
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 be
guided, as it lias been hitherto, bv uncom
promising loyalty to the Union, and will
resist every attempt to weaken the bonds
that unite the American people into one
Nation.
The Repciii.ican will heartily support
General Ghaut 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, us needful
to revive business and secure fair remune

TRIBULATIONS OF THE DEMO
CRACY.
The tribulations of qte Democracy do
not decrease ns tho day of their National
Convention approaches. Their dilemma
is not confined to individuals. A unit
upon the twin doctrines of opposition to
reconstruction and sympathy with the
rebellion, they dare not make these doc
trines a part of their platform, and are,
therefore, driven to choose between the
alternatives of adhering to their faith nml
so meeting defeat, or of surrendering that
faith for tho purpose of securing a doubt
ful victor)’.
We find, in a letter from “Occasional,"
that Pennsylvania presents three candi
dates in the persons of Gen. W. S. Hancock
of Montgomery county, lion. Asa W
Packer of Carbon, and General George W.
Cass of Alleghany; Ohio presents Chase,
Pendleton, and Thurman; Indiana, Thos.
A. Hendricks; New Jersey, Joel Parker;
New York, Horatio Seymour and General
John A. Di\ ; Connecticut, Governor W.
E. English; Massachusetts, Charles Francis
Adams; Maryland, Iteverdy Johnson;
Illinois, David Davis, of the Supreme
Court of the United States; California,
Stephen .1 Field, also of the Supreme
Court of the United States; Wisconsin,
James K. Doolittle; and last, not least,
Tennessee, Andrew Johnson.
It can not he said that in the multitude
of candidates there is safety, lor in all this
mixture there are only two names that
possess the joint virtue of availability, and
these are the types of the two ideas against
which the whole rebel Democracy have
been stubbornly arrayed since the begin
ning of the war—Hancock, supported
because he fought against the rebellion,
and Chase, because lie is the embodiment
of universal suffrage.
The situation of the ultra Democrats
may be summed up in a single sentence:
They are ready to stultify themselves by
supporting a Union soldier in tlic hope
that that will secure to them enough
soldier votes, or they arc ready to support
an Abolitionist in the equally desperate
hope of securing a sufficient number of
negroes to give them the next Adminis
tration.
What is all this but an overwhelming
tribute to the Republican party, its candi
dates, and creed 1 What else but an invo
cation to the Republicans to close ranks
and secure victory 1 Looking over the
wide field of action, there is scarcely a
State in which the signs are not hopeful.
Let us look at the figures, as condensed
in the Washington C/mmicle :
If ail the Southern States were recon
structed, and voted in November, the whole
Electoral College would stand 317, of which
a majority is 159. It is universally conceded
that General Grant will carry the following
loyal or adhering States : Illinois, 10; lowa,
S; Kansas, 5; Maine, 7; Massachusetts, 12;
Michigan, 8; Minnesota, 6; Missouri, 11;
Nebraska, 3; New Hampshire, 5; Ohio, 21;
Rhode Island, i; Tennessee, 10; Vermont,
5; West Virginia, 5; and Wisconsin, S—
making 132, or 27 less than a majority—
leaving out Pennsylvania, New York, Con
necticut, Indiana, Nevada, Orego.i, ami
California. If we Carry Pennsylvania, 26,
and Indiana, 13, we Imve u majority. Dr il
we carry Pennsylvania, 26, and California,
5, we have a majority. Or il we carry
Pennsylvania, 26, and Connecticut, 0, we
have a majority.
And if we include in this count the South
ern Stales that are conceded to us —Arkan
sas, 5; North Carolina, 9; South Carolina,
6; Mississippi, 7: and Louisiana, 7—General
Grant is elected, excluding Pennsylvania,
New York, Oregon,California, Indiana, Con
necticut, and Nevada. But who can doubt
our success, as he studies the figures, in
Pennsylvania, Indiana,Connecticut, Oregon,
California, and Nevada, without counting a
single Southern State?
In the face of these figures, where clothe
Democracy expect to get their electoral
votes ? Even if they were united, they
would find it a hard and desperate strug
gle ; but when they oppose their disloyal
record, their quarreling household, and
their multitude of candidates, to the tin
stained and patriotic record of the united
Republicans under Gkakt and Colfax,
tlieir attempted campaign becomes “sim
ply ridiculous."
TltE HOMESTEAD LAW.
We take pleasure in assuring our lead
ers that while Congress has nullified
partially the Relief Ordinance of the
Georgia Convention, the Homestead Law
has not been touched, and remains just as
the wisdom of the Georgia Convention
passed it. Its provisions being so much
less iu amount than that of some other
States, and the act itself being in strict
conformity to the Constitution of the
United States, there could have been no
excuse for Congress to have interfered in
the matter. We have always contended,
and shall ever do so, that its provisions
are not up to the standard. While Cali
fornia and Louisiana have a five thousand
dollar homestead exemption, and thus
show their high appreciation of the family
and of society, we claim that Ilia Empire
State of the South should have not fallen
short, but, if anything, exceeded these
States in their provision for the women
and children of our land. As it is, our
Homestead Law is a good one as far as it
goes; but it does not go far enough, and
our reasons are these: when the Southern
States, in their folly and madness, led by
Illicit, and Toombs, and Davis, and others
of lesser light, started out in their execu
tion of crime, they pledged their honor,
their property, and their liberty for the
accomplishment of the hellish purpose
they had in view.
We contend that every dollar of prop
erty in the Southern States of slaves,
notes, bonds, mortgages, and money -was
tendered in the wild and foolish bet, and
that every species of personal property,
even to the clothes on the bucks of the
people were placed “upon the hazard of
till! die.” We only ask the simple (pies
tion, “Where is the man who can refute
this proposition
It is well known that much personal
property has been destroyed; that the
mudsills of wealth—the slaves -have been
set free. The question only recurs, What
of all the immense wealth of the South is
lelt f We answer, not a dollar. It is
only by u magnanimity beyond parallel
that the conqueror bus Iran so merciful as
to leave our lands unbnfiscated, and
above that has merciftfly spared our
lives; and by charitahlepontributions of
food anti raiment, has ttys far sustained
>n life their erring brcthci). Such, then,
being the case, we say (o the people of
our own Stute, be peaceful and submissive
to our fate, trusting in Him who holds
the nations of the earth in the hollow of
His hand, nnd nil will bewll.
“Wiittk Mans Govwjjment."— It is
dawning on the Denuxtitic niintl that
time will be spent to moth advantage in
trying to persuade negnts to vote the
Democratic ticket, tliail in trying to
deprive them of the right <if voting at ail.
The World takes this vktv of the subject,
and is pressing it, with a good deal of
force, upon the consideration of its party.
It says “there is every reason to expect
♦hftt-the Southern ncgroct will vote in the
next Presidential election; and if wc
permit all those States to be carried by
the Republicans, wc may ns well hang up
our harps on the willows. It concerns us
to gain a portion of the negro vote.”
That’s so. The negroes have the right to
vote now ; and taking it away from them
will not be easy, nor will it tend to pro
mote and secure the peace and order of
society. They are ignorant, but they
will learn. They are distrustful of the
whites, but if they don’t get over that
it will be the fault of the whites. They
are not used to voting, and don’t under
stand politics, but they will remedy these
defects gradually, if they have a fair
chance. Indeed, every one of the objec
tions urged against their being allowed
to vote will grow less and less weighty
every year, and in a very short time will
wholly disappear. They will improve in
knowledge, in character, in political cx
’perience, and iu fitness to vote, just as
white men have done before them. The
Democrats may possibly “get a portion of
their votes,” but not by trying to prevent
them from voting at all. The negroes
will bo slow in coming to the theory that
“this is the white man’s government.” *
In Trouble. —We sympathize sin
cerely with tlic Democracy in their
troubles. Up to this date they have not
decided whether to nominate a Republican
or a Democrat for President; whether
they will stand on the platform of gold or
greenbacks'; whether their battle cry will
be “Universal Suffrage,” or “A White
Man’s Government.” Os course, Demo
cratic principles are immutable—when
they decide what they are. *
PASSAGE OF THE BILL FOR THE
ADMISSION OF THE SOUTHERN
ST A TES.
The following bill, providing for the ad
mission of the States of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida,
and Alabama to representation in Congress,
was passed by the Senate and House, and
goes to the President.
Whereas. The people of North Caroliua,
South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, Ala

except the proviso to the first subdivision,

Assembly of said Slate by solemn public
Act sbali declare the assent of the Stale to

- WORK FOR CONGRESS.
We trust the Republicans in Congress do
not forget that the strength aud success of
the parly next Fall depend largely Jon their
action. Their position is one ot responsi
bility. Tbo National Convention at Chicago
put forth a declaration of principles for the
party ; but whether it means anything or
nothing, will depend largely on Congress.
The Republicans have the power by large
majorities in both branches. They can pass
what laws they please. They cun give
practical meaning and effect to the principles
announced at Chicago. And having the
power, they must exercise it, or incur the
charge of insincerity, in the platform the
party has put forth.
The material interests of the country
demand prompt attention at the hands of
Congress. It will not do to ignore them or
to postpone action upon them. Something
must be done to reduce the expenses of the
Government—to increase its revenues and
to lighten the burdens of taxation, which are
beginning to press heavily on the labor and
lives of the people. It may not be possible
to perfect a full and comple system of
taxation which shall meet the permanent
necessities of the country. But enough may
ensily bo done to show that the magnitude
and importance of the task are fully appre
ciated by those upon whom it has devolved,
and to vindicate the good faith of the declara
tious made in regard to it uu behalf of the
party at Chicago.
The Presidential canvass is to be active
aud sharply contested. It is to be an
earnest, vigorous, and most important con
test. It is not to be carried by bluster, nor
by enthusiasm, hut by opgattized, steady,
and intelligent effort. Nor will it turn on
what men or parties have done in the past —
in their action during the war, or their votes
and opinions on impeachment. The party
and the men will succeed next Fall who
may best satisfy the country of their ability
and purpose to give the nation Peace, and
Prosperity for the future; nnd that can be
done much better by deeds than by words.
The declaration at Chicago have been
received with marked and cordial lavor by
the Republican Parly and by the people
generally throughout the country. They are
regarded as embodying wise and practical
principles and modes of action for the public
good. But they are os yet only word#; it is
for Congress, by prompt and resolute action,
to give them life and force, and to satisfy
the country that the party which announced
these purposes intends to carry them out.
The talk of adjournment, under such
circumstances, is premature. Congress
ought to do a good deal more than it has
done yet before it adjourns. It can greatly
strengthen the party which is responsible
for its action, and thus aid the canvass,
which is to decide its fate. If there is not
time to perfect nnd pass the tax bill, or to
reorganize thoroughly and finally the
Revenue Department, much may he done
toward increasing its efficiency. Congress
must make some provision for a more
effective administration of this branch of
tho public scrvico. Something must be
done to purify it of its corruptions and
abuses. A beginning of the reforms whiclt
have become absolutely indispensable may
at least be made.
Every step taken in this direction will be
of essential service to the Republican party
in the election. It will give far more sub
stantial aid to its candidates titan the
loudest boasts of the past or the broadest
promises for the future.

Cooperative Reformers states that arrange
ments arc being made to hold a Convention
in Chicago, on the 4th of July, for the
purpose of nominating an independent
people’s candidate for the Presidency.
A trustworthy Washington correspondent
says that Mr. Pendleton lias written a letter
to a friend aying that tho moment any
other candidate gets a single vote more
than himself in the nominating Convention
his name must be withdrawn.
The Albany Journal says “Mr. Chase
was strong only in the principles of which
he was a pretended admirer and vigorous
advoente. Separated from these iiis indi
viduality commands no support, lie would
be even weaker in the South because of his
past radicalism."
Gen. Charles F. Manderson, who wTts
appointed a delegate from the Ohio seven
teenth District to the New York Conserva
tive Soldiers’ Convention, has declined in
a letter, in which he says that lie shall
continue to fight on the old line, and vote
and work for Grant, Colfax, and victory.
A Baltimore correspondent says it is now
understood that all but two of the delegates
elected by the Maryland Democratic State
Convention to tho 4th of July Convention
at New York, are strongly favorable to
Pendleton’s nomination. Gov. Swann lias
some hopes of obtaining the Vice Presi
dential nomination.
1 lie Hon. P. Phillips, who onco repre
sented tho Mobile District in Congress, says
that the South cannot afford to adopt a man
as the Democratic candidate because of his
past hostility. The South has now, lie says,
to play at a game in which it would be fatal
to lose-a trick.
Vnllandighain says : “We are no admirer
of Ulysses Simpson Grant as a military
genius. But about the weakest and most
foolish thing the Democratic orators could
do would lie to depreciate his capacity, or
assail him for incompetently, unless in
defence of other Generals whose laurels his
friends may seek to steal a way."
Iho Dayton ledger, Vallandigknm’s
organ, says of that branch of the Democratic
party which it represents: “Isa ‘War Dem
ocrat of the Marble llalpine ‘Haunting lie’
school is chosen standard bearer of the
party, his defeat is inevitable, because tho
wing known ns the Peace Democrats will
not support him ; if at all, at least with no
degree of zeal—and they are a power in the
land."
r l’he Cleveland Herald says : “The Repub
lican party must now look upon Mr. Chase
ns a powerful enemy, made desperate by
disappointed ntnliition, and must brace itself
lo meet this new treachery with courage and
strength. But it has too much vigor not to
crush all these combinations, in which it
must light both the Executive and Judicial
Departments, ttu] in which it will surely
conquer.”
Pho Boston Traveller comments upon
the probabilities of the Democrats nomi
nating Chase, and adds: “If they could
contrive to put Mr. Garrison on their
ticket for the Vice Presidency, with the
understanding that Mr, Wendell Phillips
should be made Secretary of State in the
event of the Chief Justice's election, tltcir
proceedings would become sufficiently round
ed and orbicular to satisfy the most fastidi
ous ol the worshippers of perfection.”
The Democratic leaders at St. Louis are
disputing over a classification of the dele
gates lrom Missouri to the Democratic
National Convention. The Republican
avers that the delegates “are nearly all in
favor of Gen. Francis P. Blair, Jr., for the
Presidency.’’ The Dispatch gives Blair IS ;
Pendleton, 3; Hancock, 1 ; doubtful, 8.
The Tones insists that one half of the
delegalion are for Pendleton, and, at a
pinch, two thirJs or even three fourths
might be relied upon for him.
The Rolla (Missouri) Express reports
that the Democrats of l’bcips county, Mo.,
have had a meeting pursuant to “orders
from the State Central Committee,” and
passed thrilling resolutions, among which
was the following:
Resolved, That while wo recognise in the
Hon. Petroleum V. Nashy the true Democrat
and fearle.B patriot, and while we acknowledge
liis good intentions, we would respectfully re
quest him to discontinue writing letters in
defence of the Democratic party, as we suspect
that some of his efforts are calculated to do
more harm than good in some localities.
The Galveston Bulletin says : “That Mr.
Chase could ever have lent himself to the
idea of becoming the successful candidate ol
a third party under the present condition of
the countrv, carrying the doctrine of “uni
versal stiffr.Age’’ into the Democratic camp,
and scorned, on the other hand, by the
abolitionists, under the lead of Phillips, for
his “treachery” to the party in permitting or
largely contributing to the defeat of im
peachment -ireveaH an unlooked for weak
ness iu the judgment of the Chief Justice
which can scarcely be explained. That the
Democrats will use Mr. Chase as a wedge to
drive asunder the hitherto tenacious cohorts
of anti-slavery, and thus try to conquer by
dividing, is very likely ; but beyond this no
one seriously believes he can be thought of
for a moment as a formidable Presidential
candidate.”
Senator Frelinghuyscn, in a recent letter,
says: “Our party was once sectional; it is
so no longer. In a few weeks seven, and
I hope nine, States will add their large
majorities to the party that makes the
Declaration of Independence their platform
aud the elevation of man its object. That
great and good, that patriotic and prudent,
that brave and modest man, who inaugu
rated victory for our arms first in the West,
and then at the East, and who never knew
defeat, will in November lead the loyal
hosts of America on to victory, and beside
him will stand his worthy associate, the
accomplished and popular Colfax. Then
the Rebellion will all bo over, and then
this nation will make such strides in ma
terial development, in intellectual, social,
and moral progress, as lias no parallel in
history.”
At a meeting of the Equal Rights Associ
ation, of New York, on motion of Theodore
Tilton, the following resolution was adopted,
amid much laughter:
Whereas, Miss Susan B. Anthony through
published writings ia the Resolution, has given
the world to understand that the hope of the
Woman’s Bights cause rests more largely with
ihe Democratic party than with any other por
tion of the people : therefore,
Resolved, That Miss Anthony be requested to
attend the approaching National Democratic
Convention in New York, July 4, for tho pur
pose of fulfilling this cheerful hope, by securing,
in the Democratic platform, a recognition of
woman's right to tbo elective franchise.
Speaking of the Chase movement, the
Indianapolis Journal says: “The Eastern
Democrats do not seem to realize that the
strongest bond of union among Western
Copperheads is hatred of the negro, and a
fanatical hostility to negro suffrage; if they
did, they would perceive at once that the
acceptance by the latter of a candidate who
owes all the influence and reputation he
possesses to (lie advocacy ol the rights of
the negro, and who is a known supporter of
the principles of negro suffrage, is simply
impossible. With Chase and Dix for their
candidates, the Western Democrats would
be so metamorphosed that they would not
know themselves, and they do not intend to
lose their identity.” This will have no effect
on Capt. Rynders.
