National Ucpublicon AU«tTHTA. WEDNESDAY MORNING Ju “*. lT ' ,M ® For I’li 10S11)l’*IN r l Or tiik United Statics: I MSSI-S S. «RAIT, FOR VICK PRESIDENT: Schuyler Colfax, Or INDIANA. iibpirlicak platfobm. The XaUoual Republican party of the United Slates, aa»etnbled In National Convention, in the city of Chi cago, on the 90th tier of May, 1808, make the following Declaration of Principle* : let. We congratulate the country on the Assured euc cana of the reconstruction policy of Congreu, ai evinced l»y the adoption, in a majority of the State* lately in relifelHon, of ConaUtutious securing equal civil and political rights to all, and regard it a* the duty of the Government to auatain those InMltutiotis, and to prevent the people of such States from being remitted to a state of anarchy. 90. The guarantee, by Congress, of equal suffrage to all loyal men iu the South was demanded by every con sideration of public safety, of gratitude and of justice, and tnnat be maintained, while the question of suffrage In all the loyal States properly belongs to the people of those States’. 3*l. We denounce all forma of repudiation as a na tional crime, and the national honor requires the pay ment of the public indebtedness, in the utmost good faith, to ail creditors, at home ami abroad, not only according to the letter, but the spirit of the laws under winch it wras 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. tith. That the best policy to diminish our bunion 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, ami must continue to pay, so long as repudiation, partial or total, open or covert, U 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 r.tdical 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 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 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: has abused the pardoning p«w^r: has denounced the National Legisla ture as unconstitutional; has persistently and cormptiy 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. The doctrine of Great Hritain 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, aihl at war with our national honor and independence. Naturalized citizens are enti tled to be piotectedin all their rights of citizenship as though they were natural born, and no citizen ot 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 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 tbo country. The bounties and pensions provided by law for these brave defenders of the nation are obligations never to be forgotten. The widows ami 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 Uie oppressed of all nations, should be fostered and encour aged by a liberal and just policy. 12th. This Convention declares its sj-inpathy with all the oppressed people which are struggling for their rights. TO OUR COUNTRY SUBSCRIBERS. We are now sending out bills (which are Ions; past due) for Subscription. Those receiving a reminder will please .it once remit the amount, else their papers will be discontinued.

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 ceptcd) at Augusta, (la., the home of the Governor elect.

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 the American people into one Nation. The Rkitiiucan will heartily support General On ant and S<ihvi.eh Com ax for tlie responsible positions for which they have been nominated.

And, in order to place The National Hkim iii.k ax within the reach of all who desire a ijihhl tlnily nrwn^nijier t we present the following low terms of subscription “FOR THE CAMPAIGN,” | From now till the fir at of December. | One Copy 12 25 Five Copies 10 00 Ten " Ik 00 Twenty “ ... 35 00 KKCONB TRUC TED. In a few days, for the Unit time ia our history, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia. Louisiana, North Carolina and South Carolina, will have govrraßteata framed according to tlte will anti support ed by the ballots of a majority of the whole people. Virginia, Mississippi and Texas remain, but the work in those States, though delayed, will be the more likely to succeed it the organization* in the recon structed States go into immediate and successful operation. "You can never reconstruct the Union,” said the Democrats in 1865. The Repub lican party lma tried it. "You never mean to reconstruct the Union,” said the Demo crats when the reconstruction bill was passed. The admission of seven of the teu revolted States, within a year from the passage of that bill, is the best proof that could he given, both of the sincerity of the Republican party and of the wisdom and practical good seme of its measures. These are indeed glorious proofs of the wonderful changes wrought by the Repub lican party. To-day seven loyal States come forward front the ruins of the war— those lately in arms "accept the situation, ’’ and by thousands vote tile Republican ticket. Industry will thrive, and the people ot the State will contend with each other, not with arms, but in honorable rivalry to repair the ravages of war, anti restore tlte prosperity and enterprise which rebellion prostrated. To every citizen, indeed, there comes a vision of a future brighter than his State has ever seen, and of a prosperity greater than could ever have been realized under the old system. In these bright hopes all citizens have an equal share, and they will gladly accept from the new governments that protection and civil order which will enable them to realize their anticipations. ENTHUSIASM. It is charged that the nomination of General Gh.vnt has been received without enthusiasm. We are all too well satisfied to make any great noise until we see the disunion candidate. Then, the country will behold a display of ‘enthusiasm’ for the Republican hero that will eclipse the days of llu: hi sox and Taylor. Every body. except traitors, loves Grant, and their love will be made known all over the Union by such exhibitions of popular en thusiasm as America has never seen before. The Republican party does not worship men. It rewards patriots, and glorifies their good deeds. It remains to the petro. lcum codfish of the North and aristocratic oligarchy of the South to deify a man, despite his faults or crimes. The enthu siasm of the one party is as different from the other as day from night. One looks h> the establishment of great principles—it is a high moral enthusiasm; while the other looks to place, and office and salary, and is directed towards individuals. One is the expression of the true Republicans of the land; the other, of corrupt dema gogues, and aristocrats, and traitors to free government in America. That i* the dif ference. I VII. I T IS MODE US 1) EM I> ( 7.\ 1 C Y ? This pertinent question is easily an swered. The true definition is not hard to learn. All the leading presses of the South all the leading men of the South who claim alignment with national De mocracy, echo and re-echo the sentiment every day. It is opposition to the Gov ernment of the United States of the same kind and of the same venom as that to which we owe the attempted dismember ment of the Union. To day there is as much disposition on the part ot the Ku Klux Democracy of the South as there ever was to array themselves against their government, and the oath of allegiance they were so anxious to take in I#U5 is violated in letter and spirit every hour of the day. In view of the status of these rebels, would it be wise on the part of the Government to allow them another oppor tunity to league together in armed resist ance ? We think not. Wc fear that too much leniency ha* already been shown on the part of the powers that be to the enemies of peace, law, and order, and we hope that this last move from the friends of the murderers of the lion. Mr. Asliburn, by seeking lobby influence at Washington, will meet with signal and deserved defeat. \Vc are well satisfied that this is no time to show pity, but hold that the stern mandates of justice require examples to be made of violators of the. law, espe cially where evidence said to be so con clusive and so irrefutable is ample to convict a number at least of the men now in prison at Atlanta of the foulest and most cowardly murder recorded in the annals of crime in Georgia. The murder of Asliburn was designed to be but the commencement of a concocted plan, secretly formed by the Ku Klux leaders in the South tor the wholesale murder of all the prominent Republicans of the country, while they “deny with an oath” any p&ticipatiou whatever in tiie secret begotten elans, whose organization ex tends over the whole South, where it is well known to exist. If they dared to avow their purpose it would be but the reiteration ot the plans ol the conspirators of other days. Know ing their impotency to offer open and manly resistance by peaceful means, to what they are pleased to term mal-admin istration of our government, they seek, by murder and assassination, to effect tlieir object, We again repeat that it is no time to show leniency to criminals, if, upon a fair trial, they may lie convicted of base crimes : nor would it be wise to allow such cases as the Asliburn murderers to be tried other than by a Military Court. It, is useless to talk of conviction where money in any quantity can lie had to prevent it, as would be the case with this respectable clan of midnight conspirators and assassins from Columbus. Those murders and nssas. (filiations would not have been confined to any special locality, hut the best nu nos the country would have met the fate of Ashburn had not the promptness of the Government arrested the matter at its beginning. The end has not come, if threats weigh anything as coming from< certain leaders of modern Democracy; ami for the sake of the colored race and the loyal nun, women and children ol the country, wc hope early steps will he taken to organize fully a Htate guard, to take the place of the troops now so necessary to preserve the peace ot the South, when they iany be removed from the Southern States (as has been the prayer of the Ku Klux clans this many a day), but which wc hope will not lie dnfic iu years to come. Once more in the Uniou, and living under the ;egis of our country's flag, and pro tected by the government, the conscien tiously loyal man may re-cape the dangers that now surround him; but we prefer to have, as an additional safe guurd, the pro tection given by the liayouet rather than be liable to assassination, which, from threats already made, seems to be the fixed purpose of disloyal leaders and their un derstrappers throughout the whole terri tory of the South. VOTES OF THE STATES. In the course of the debate in the Senate • ... > a few days since, on the question of including Alabama in the admission bill, Mr.Trumbull made the following statement of the votes of die Southern States : In North Carolina there were registered 179,633 votes, half of which is 89,826. There were east for the Constitution 92,500 voles, being 2,074 more than a majority of the registered vote. There were 71,820 votes cast against the Constitution. In South Carolina thfire were registered 127,432 votos, half of; which is 63,716. There were cast for the Constitution 70,758, being 7,012 more than a majority of the registered vote. In Georgia there were registered 191,501 votes, half ot which is 95,750. There were east lor the Constitution 89,007, showing less than a majority of the registered vote by 6,713 votes. In Alabama the vote cast fur the Consti tution was less, by 13,099, than a majority of the registered vote. In Louisiana there were registered 129,651 votes, half of which is 64,827. There wero east for the Constitution 66,152, being 1,325 more than a majority. In Florida there were registered 28,003 votes, half of which is 14,001. There wore east for the Constitution 14,511, being 510 more than a majority. PENNSYLVANIA. From a private letter we quote the follow ing, in allusion to the coming Presidential campaign: We are just catering upon a fierce contest in old Pennsylvania. We mean to win, as we did heretofore, whenever a Union Repub bean victory was needed. If it is true that Pennsylvania is the battle ground, then even victory is certain, simply because, at a Pres idential election, when a full vote will bo polled, wc can not be bealen. Wc hope our friend's hopes will be realized, and that the “Old Keystone” and the “Em pire” of the South, as ho says, may bo found side by side in the great final triumph next November. Our best efforts shall be put forth in that direction, and wc have no fears of success in the race in Georgia, if the Republican party i* true to itself, and labors, ns we know it can, for the election of Giiant and Colfax, and the continued su premacy of its principles. The Dkm and for Kkfohm in the Reve nue service is not confined to any party. Though the Democrats, for party purposes, are most noisy, the Republicans are even more anxious for a thorough reform, for in that party arc found tlte greater proportion of the substantial tax payers of the country. The resolution adopted by the Chicago Convention, which demands reform in tlte revenue service, was not an empty and unmeaning declaration, but the great body of Republicans heartily endorse, and will bold their representatives to a strict ac countability if they fail to give it speedy attention. It, is in the power of Congress to end these frauds, and the people demand that it shall be done. An Honest Confession. —We have, more than once, remarked that the self styled “respectable” party claiming that "this is the white man’s government,” is opposed, to universal suffrage mainly be cause the colored voters seem to prefer the Republican ticket. And. as a chapter in the history of the present times, we append the following from the Columbia (8. C.) Phoenix, a Democratic paper: As for ourselves, wo shall not decline the honest conservative colored man’s aid. when, invested as he has been with the right to vote, he comes forward and offers to help us to save the Commonwealth. To win in ihe eomiiig light, we must accept every r, emit wc can get. But let it not he a.-suntod that we propose to secure the colored voter by any means inconsistent with our own principles or his interests The negro votes. We may not like it. The negro, nevertheless, does vote, and this fact we can not ignore. Now, that philosophy is the best which bravely looks events in the face, and accepts, with equanimity, that which is. lienee, in view ol surrounding circumstances, wo advocate the poliey of winning the colored man’s vote, for his own interests, and our own interests. And this, wo conceive, is one of tho most important objects to be kept in view. Vote the colored man, for you vote him for your own benefit, and you cote hint into a future for his own race. Uecoxsti:ccnos.—Congress has at last done what we wish it had done sooner— pa«aed a hill readmitting the six States of North and South Carolina, Georgia, Ala bama, Louisiana, nnd Florida, to representa tion in cither House, and restoring them to all the rights of self-government which they dissipated by rebellion. Arkansas had already been restored by a separate act; so that there will remain hut Virginia, Missis sippi, and Texas, which (through no fault ot Congress) tire not yet ready for restora tion. We rejoice that tho cavils which would have delayed the restoration of Alabama and of Florida have not prevailed in either House, ami we hope to see all these States represented in both before the 4th ot July. What hinders Virginia ? It she is waiting for means to hold an election, why not supply Ihe needful? Hurry up the work of Reconstruction ! Tribune. .st The Tribune thinks that the vole* of (lie .Southern States will ho about equally di vided between the two parties, and that the battle ground will ho in the States ot Con* nocticut, New York, Now Jersey, Pennsyl vania, and Ohio. The electoral vote of Now York Is 33, Pennsylvania 26, nnd Ohio 21. [Communicated. NON. ED. RANDOLPH HARDEN. Mr. Editor —You need not tie reminded, I presume, that, during tho recent heated and bitter contest, it required no small amount of nerve for one to sympathize with, to say nothing of advocating, the ratification fl the Constitution, the election of Governor Bullock, and, generally, the principles in volved in the Reconstruction Acts of Con gress. But while the contest was heated and bittur everywhere, it was intensely so in that portion ol the Stale denominated the "Black Belt,” lying between Macon and Columbus, and Albany and the Chattahoochee. To maiutaiu one's position, under the storm of abuse, odium and contumely Heaped upon recoustructionist* there, required the exercise of mi unusual amount of moral courage and devotion'to principle. The possessors of this ennobling quality, as manifested by their outspoken sentiments and brave and bold action, are entitled to consideration at the hands of the people, nnd of the “powers that be.’ We doubt not a grateful constituency will remember, und, in due time, reward them. • Among the goodly number of noble spirits standing prominently out ns co-worker* in the great cause of reconstruction, "to the manner born,” and whoso talents and merits have already been recognized, is that of him whose name heads this communication. De scended from the best of old Virginia's stock, and connected with the most distin guished in Georgia, he stands unimpeachcd for patriotic devotion to the interests of his State and section, and is recognized by all who know him as possessed of fine talents and capacity, and unquestioned private and political integrity. The estimate placed upon these is best known by the following honor able, if not extended record : He was for eleven years a prominent officer of the Western and Atlantic railway, giving tho highest satisfaction. In 1851 he was appointed Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States for Nebraska Territory by President Pierce, which position lie held for four years. He served in the first Legis lature which assembled in Omaha City. In 1861 he was appointed Judge of the Su preme Court of the United States for Utah, but resigned at tho expiration of three months. He was also a delegate to the Charleston Convention. Besides this, he has filled numerous other private and politi cal positions of more or less importance—all to the satisfaction of gratified constituencies. During the late memorable, embittered Gubernatorial contest, Judge Harden, true to his early open and honest espousal of reconstruction, did good service in behalf of the ratification of the Constitution, the elec tion of Gov. Bullock, nnd the success of those supporting both. Iu common with Gen. McCay, Mr. Whitclcy, and others in that section, equally true and deserving, though less prominent, Judge Harden has been the subject of unstinted abuse and denunciation. Amid it all he has been true to principle and its advocate*. Judge Harden, thus distinguished (or honorable service and unflinching devotion to what he regarded the good of his section of the country, deserves recognition at the hands of the people. It is hoped he will receive it. His ability and experience emi nently fit him for Judge ot the Superior Court ot the Circuit in which he resides. He has probably borne as much abuse, and is more prominent than any other gentleman of the legal profession who espoused our cause. He deserves the appointment, and in awarding it to him, Gov. Bullock will undoubtedly gratify his trustworthy constitu ents in that Circuit. Clarke. GEN. GRANT AND THE JEWS. The most insidious efforts are being made at this juncture in Indiana, as well as in other Western States, to prevail upon the Jews to declare at masse that they will not vote for General Grant on account of his well known Vicksburg order. Two circulars have lately becu addressed to a great many Jews ofßepubliean proclivities in the West ern States, for the purpose of inducing them to join in this crusade against the I Republican candidate for the Presidency- One of them is dated and mailed at St. Louis, ami signed by a certain Isaacs, who styles himself a “Jewish officer,” but who, it is said, can not be found in that city at all. The other is got up in Chicago, and is not signed by anybody, but it is full of preposterous falsehoods concerning the opinions which, it asserts, General Grant entertains in regard to the Jews in the United States. To judge by these circu lars and the constant harping of many Democratic papers in the West on the same subject, it i evident that desperate efforts will be made all Summer to alienate the inass of the Republican Jews from General Grant. If this line of policy bad any prospect of success, the matter would be serious enough, for there arc in Illinois not loss than 30,000 Jewish voters, and in Indiana at least 15,000 ; and, inasmuch as live sixths of them have hitherto always voted with the Repub licans, a wholesale defection on their part would endanger the election of Grant and Colfax in Illinois, and render the election of the Democratic ticket in Indiana cer tain beyond a doubt. But these efforts are wasted. The Jews now already declare indignantly that appeals of this kind are insults to their common sense, and that if, as certain Democratic politicians have ad vised, mass meetings of the Jews should be called for the purpose of making demon strations against Gen. Grant, their loading men would be the first to denounce the movement and the designing politicians who originated it.— Y. Times. Gen. Beauregard, who is now stop ping at the New York Hotel, says, in reference to the probablo course of the Southern delegations in the Democratic National Convention, that it is extremely improbable that the voto of a single South ern State can be cast for the Democratic candidates; and, therefore, the Southern Democracy have no right to advise, much less to insist, upon the adoption of any special nominee by their Northern allies. Tho duty of the South is this: Accepting its situation, it will do its utmost to sustain, whatever candidates shall appear most' available and most likely to secure success in the judgment of the Northern delegations. For Gen. Hancock all the white men in tho South would turn out and work with great zeal, if he should happen to be the nominee; hut if in the judgment of the Northern delegations success could only be secured by the nomination of Salmon P. Chase, upon any other platform than that of absoluto negro suffrage, then tho Southern white Democrats would gladly work for his elec tion also. But if, unfortunately, the North ern delegations should put up such a platform us the Pendleton people of the West propose, out-lleroding that of the Republicans on the negro suffrage question, then the whites of tho South would stay at home, and lot their Northern brethren take the chances of success or defeat without their assistance. Such are tho views of Gen. Beauregard and thoso whom ho repre sents.—JV. I”. Sun. Col. I. N'. Morris, of Quincy, Illinois, well known in former yeats as a prominent member of the Democratic party, made a political speech in that city on the 30th ult., in which lie came out boldly and unequivo cally in favor of the election of Geo. Grant to the Presidency. PAPAL RECRUITS. The statement that the Sovereign Pontiff or Romo has chosen the United State* as recruiting ground for his army again comes ***, a p ro** the cable ; this time with the addition that he <f h&B scut an agent to enlist troops,” and that Garibaldi has written several earnest letters to his friends and the authorities of America discouraging the project. We hope, for the honor of the American nation, that means will be taken to resent this insult if the alleged intentions of the Pope shall be authenticated by tacts. No sovereign lias the right to enlist troops on American soil, and onr Government will be held to strict accountability by the people for permitting such an invasion of their rights and breach ot the law*. This general ground of objection is suf ficient a* against all sovereigns; but if there is anything which could add to the repugnance with which the American people would witness an invasion of their territory to recruit for foreign Powers, it is that the strength thus secured will be used for the purpose ot maintaining an eccle siastical despotism and preventing that unity which is the first great essential to Italian liberty. While the temporal power of the Papacy exists there can be no free dom ol religion, of political opinions in Rome; and even now it is full known none but Catholics can worship there, the Protestant chapels that were set up as part “of the domestic establishments of the British and American embassies having been driven out. Rome is to day far more intolerant than Constantinople, for the Protestant, Catholic, Greek, Christian, Ameriian, Ghelir, and every other sect is tolerated by the Mussulman, while the professed head ot the Christian Church tolerates nothing but the sect of which he is a member. The Paj ml Government is a government of priests, and by virtue of their vows, these priests arc celibates. Here are two strong arguments against the government itself. An essential clement ot goveruraent is force, and the doctrines ot Christ need to be taught by men whose vital principle is non-resistance. A priest can not use force without bringing the sanctity of his calling into question, yet the Pope is constantly invoking ils aid to protect his government, which, unlike that of Christ, is most de eidedly of this world. The very nature ot his spiritual calling unfits a priest for secular government. Besides this, and as an additional ground of objection to a government by Catholic priests, they arc celibates, aud we hold that no celibate is qualified to govern in a Christian State. The Christian State is based upon the family, und the family is the offspring of monogamic marriage. The family is the basis of society, and it is au accepted political axiom that the duly of government is to protect society. A man who does not marry, who never has experienced the tender relations of husband and lather, who knows nothing experimentally about the family, is unfit to role The crowned priest at the head of the Papal State proclaims it as the first and most sacred of his duties as a civil ruler tc administer the affairs of the State with a view to the welfare of the Church. He is supreme in a sense that no other ruler in the world claims to be. He is directly empowered, and infallibly directed, by the Spirit of God to govern the Church for its best interests, and the people as secondary and subservient to them. It would be extremely offensive to the American people to permit un army to be recruited on our soil to uphold this effete ecclesiastical government, so in'olerant that nine tenths of our people cannot worship in its dominions : and to day the great burden to the accomplishment of Italian unity and freedom. — Washington Chronicle. - ■—. Attempted Suicide.— About nine o'clock yesterday morning, Bridget Haney, an Irish woman, thirty years of age, attempted to commit suicide by drowning herself off the Battery, near Moreland's Wharf, but was rescued before her rasli purpose could he accomplished. It appears, that finding the water at the point indicated very shallow, she walked oat and lay down, awaiting the rising tide to pro-luce tli>- fatal effect, a* it would have done in a few moments had she not been discovered by two colored fisher men, who drew her out of the water; not, however, before she had taken in a consid erable quantity of the brine. When extri cated she was insensible, audit was presumed that she had taken an opiate before launch ing into the dock. She was sent to the City Hospital, and soon recovered, but refused to give any account of herself or of the reason* whicli prompted her to self destruction.— Charleston Courier. A Whole Congregation Poisoned at Lovk Feast. —The Chicago Tribune of the 10th has a special from Napicrville, about twenty miles west of that city, giving an account of the poisoning of the whole con gregation of a church at that place on Sun day last. Tho church was celebrating a love feast. The meal had been prepared in a copper kettle, and allowed to remain in it all day, till the liquor had become oxydized. The scone that followed beggars description. In different parts of the church were the sufferers ; some lying on the floor, and all suffering the most excruciating pains. Medical assistance was at once summoned, but it was a long time before the entire number (about one hundred and thirty) could he attended to. About twenty of the number wero regarded as in a dangerous condition, but none have as yet died, and it is hoped that all will recover. SPECIAL NOTICES. ffjg* GRAIN AND FLOUR SACKS!!
