FOR VICE PRESIDENT :

RKPI’BLICAX FLATFOIIH.
The National Republican party of the United SUtes,
assembled in National Cootmom, in the city of Chi
cago, on the 20th dsy of May, IBOS, make the following
Declaration of Principles :
lat. We congratulate the country on the assured auc
caaa of the reconstruction policy of Congress, as
evinced by the adoption, in a majority of the State*
lately in rebellion, of Constitution* securing equal civil
and political rights to all, and regard it as the duty of
the Government to sustain those institution*, and to
prevent the people of such States from being remitted
to a state of anarchy. „ ,
2d. The guarantee, by Congress, «r equal suffrage to
all loyal men in the South was demanded by every con
sideration of public safety, of gratitude and of Justice,
and must be maintained, while the question of suffrage
In all the loyal States properly belongs to the people of
those State*. „ „ .
Sd. Wa deuouoce all forms 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 all creditors, at home and abroad, not only
according to the letter, but tho 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 a fair period for redemption,
aud it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of in
terest thereon, w henever it can houestly 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 londly 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 the
cause he was pledged to support : has usurped high
legislative and judicial functions, um refused to exe
cute the law's; 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 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 rc
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, lie 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 iawr of nations, and at war with our national
honor and Independence. Naturalized citizens arc enti
tled to be piotcctcdin all their rights of citizenship as
though they were natural bom, 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 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 tho
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.
11th- Foreign immigration, which in the past has
added so much to the w ealth, 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 all
the oppressed people which are struggling for their
rights.

The Presidential Campaign, for 1868,
will be the most important that has ever
claimed the attention of American citizens.
Our Republican friends, who realize the
advantages to be secured by the dissemi

promising loyalty to the Union, and will
resist every attempt to weaken the bonds
that unite the American people into one

GENERA L GRANT.
When General Guant was first nomi
nated, we were assured by several influen
tial Democratic newspapers that lie was to
receive at their bands no quarter; that his
military career was to lie exposed and laid
bare ; and that no mercy would be shown
him The World was particularly flippant
upon this topic, and this paper knew
whereof it affirmed, and it pledged itself
to strip off the General's laurels, and to
expose his charlatanism to the eyes of the
world. Just so. We have looked daily
for this promised dreadful onslaught, but,
up to the hour of going to press, wc have
“not seen it.”
The World crawls off, and does not think
it wise to "calumniate General Git ant."
The truth of the matter is, those men who
run before their time and make hot haste
to traduce the great General of America,
have found out that the man who “put
down tlie rebellion" is the People's man ;
and that assaults of tho nature which they
tirst proposed are assaults upon the nation
itself, and that ail attempts to belittle
General Guam will only serve to do him
good; hence they back out and wisely
conclude that all that sort of warfare will
be a failure. Their last conclusion is a
wise one.
The question now is, what kind of a
President will General Giiant make? lie
has shown those qualities of mind which
make statesmen. The notion, which lias
heretofore been somewhat popular, that a
military chieftain is not and can not he a
civilian and statesman, is a mistake. The
powers of mind required to make a suc
cessful military man arc just those qualities
requisite to make a great statesman. Any
one with half an eye can see that if a man
can become a successful captain, and can
marshal large armies and lead them to
victory, ho can manage any business of a
civil nature. It is a mistake to suppose
that a great military man is not also a great
statesman. The very qualities which are
required to make a great military hero are
just the qualities and powers which make
statesmen. There can be no school in which
a man can be trained which is so well cal
culated to prepare men for civil service. It
requires but a moment's reflection to con
vince any man of the truth of this. The
greatest statesmen of ancient or modern
times have been great generals.
Thus it must be admitted that General
, Gkant has all that proper fitness for the
high position of President which the nation
desires in one who shall lie chosen to enter
upon the discharge of the duties incum
bent upon and inseparable from the Presi
dential office.
Chase Kei.inqi'isiied.—The World of
the 17th gives up Mr. Chase us a possible
Democratic candidate. After submitting
the question of his candidacy for the con
sideration ot its Democratic cotemporaries
and observing their responses to the propo
sition, it concludes that the Democracy
can not yield their traditional prejudices
against the colored man so far as to take
up any one who has ever been his friend,
lie that begins a negotiation with the
Devil is pretty sure to get the worst of it,
for that Sbylock of a bargainer will never
be satisfied with anything less than a man’s
soul. Mr. Chase can apply this moral for

AN INTERVIEW WITH JUDGE
CIIASE.
tiie terms os which iie will rue rou the
euKStDEKvr.
A correspondent, for whom the Brook,
lyn Union vouches, writes to that journal
from Washington :
Soon after the Chicago Convention, 1 had
occasion ts call again upon the Chief
Justice. Immediately on entering tho
room, I was struck with his strange
manner, and tho unusual aspect of Coun
tenance with which lie lmd been ac
customed to greet me. That dignified
composure, that blanilncss and serenity
which ever rested so gracefully upon liis
manly presence, was gone. Nervous,
excited, almost pettish. 1 hesitated making
the occasion of my visit known, and I
should more hesitate now hail uot his
subsequent course given full warrant to
the expression of private interviews. When
a great man fails us—when the nation’s
representative separates himself from his
friends, they have a right to know fully
aud exactly why. This is just to him and
fair to them.
During the interview allusion was very
naturally made to the Chicago nomination,
in the result of which he expressed himself
as having no interest. “He bad been a
Republican once ; but they had gone away
from their principles, and had read him out
of the party, it had got new leaders, men
who opposed it while ho himself was strug
gling for its organization. lie had done
more fur the party than a regiment of the
men who had read him out of the party.
They had taken the reins into their own
hands; and now it mattered not to him
what they did.” t
Seeing ihe direction in which his remarks
were drilling, and wishing to avert tho
plunge down that precipice, 1 interrupted
abruptly, “But Chief Justice Chase can
never he anything hut a Republican.”
“I’m not a Republican,” lie said coldly,
and then, qualifying, added, “I am not a
partisan at all. I was a Democrat in my
younger days. I was elected to the United
States Senate as a Democrat, with anti
slavery, abolition principles.”
Still wishing to draw him hack, I re
marked: “You had many friends who
would have supported you had you received
the nomination at Chicago.” To which he
replied : “Yes, I know 1 had, but they read
mo out of the party, and have chosen
another leader ”
Again interrupting, bciug determined to
force him to adhesion to the great party of
progress and freedom, I said, earnestly:
“But you will not go to the Democrats ; you
can never act with that party as now organ
ized ; never certainly with its present ani
mus—its hatred of the negro; its denuncia
tion of reconstruction ; its opposition to all
great and good moral measures. You, hon-
ored sir, could never find home feeling and
sympathy there. You could never become
a co-worker with your life long political ene
mies—men who hold nothing in common
with you. Most assuredly you could never
consent to become the Democratic candidate
for the Presidency.”
Without manifesting any unwillingness to
continue the conversation, he seemed through
out nervous and fidgety. Ilis i 'ntenance
had not that cheerful, genial sent ipon it
that used to play so gracefully over .he face
of the model American statesman, lie turned
over file alter file, and seemed disconcerted,
as though he had a poor case, and had failed
to make his point. Taking up a paper from
one side of the table aud laying it down upon
the other, ho said, straightly:
“If they would accept of my principles as
their platform, I would. I shall not give up
my doctrine of equal rights. They must
take that. I shall hold to the reconstruction
measures ; they are right and constitutional.
I drew up the bill—the second one—though
1 did not have in the military. I would have
managed the affairs with civilian officers,
and called in the military as they were
needed. It I could get them to indorse these
principles, that would settle them forever.”
[From tho St. Louis Democrat.
ARE JEWS POLITICIANS?
The attempt to array citizens of a partic
ular creed or nationality in hostility to any
candidate has usually failed, and when it has
not failed it has usually reacted to the dis
advantage of those involved in it. We have
not had any idea that the attempt to array
the Israelites against General Grant would
succeed, hut if it could succeed, it would
place the people of that race and faith in the
very position which the most intelligent and
able among them have always endeavored to
avoid. No other people have so much in
their history to lead them to pr.ze the
religious freedom which exists in this eoun
try, lor no other people have been so cruelly
and persistently persecuted in almost every
other land. But religious freedom requires
for its maintenance the cooperation ol two
parties the State can not interfere with the
church, neither can the church interfere as
a church in affairs of State, without under
mining those guarantees of freedom which
protect w.lh impartiality ali churches and
creeds.
Any individual ot the Hebrew or any other
faith who chooses to vote as a citizen for or
against a candidate lias a perlect right to do
to, but when men undertake to unite all of
a particular faith i;i political action, and to
influence them to vote, not ns citizens o( a
common country, but ns Hebrews, ar as
Catholics, or ns Methodist, the first step hits
been tnUoii towards the overthrow of reli
gious liberty. Knowing how highly the
intelligent tlubruws value the freedom which
we enjoy in this country, knowing how
scrupulously the people ol that faitii have
hitherto avoided giving any partisan char
acter to their church, we have had no fear
that an attempt ot that nature would com
mand the support of the abler and more
influential men among them, or the “sober
second thought” ot the gieat majority ol
Israelites. If any man, whether Jew or not,
thinks lit to vote against General Grant,
in-cause in a single military order language
was used which can be interpreted quite
beyond the evident intention of the author,
wo may doubt the wisdom of his decision
against a candidate upon a reason so slender;
but no one will question his right to vote as
lie thinks proper. But the attempt to unite
citizens of a particular faith to vote, not as
citizens, but as Jews, is wrong in principle,
and will not approve itself to the sober
judgment of intelligent men of any creed or
race.
This attempt is evidently the work of poli
ticians, who are trying to use the Jews as
their tools. NOllO but politicians—and un
scrupulous politicians, too —would seek to
drag the religious faith of men into a political
contest, or would appeal to the prejudice of
race in a matter in which, but for the con
struction which they choose to put upon a
military order, no question of race would
seem to bo involved. All intelligent Israel
ite, true to his faith mid proud of his race,
would hesitate long before he would allow
oven the strongest possible reasons to drive
him into a public nppeal to his brethren ns
Jews to vote for or against ntiy candidate.
But the unscrupulous politician, caring
nothing for tho true welfare or honor of the
Hebrews, unhesitatingly risks both in an
attempt to influence votes for his own parti
san uses.
In this case, while we regret to seethe
names of a few men of substance and
character attached to tho protest against
General Grant—men who have perhaps
affixed their signatures without thorough
examination of tho questions involved- wo
observe, nevertheless, that the great tna
jority of tho signers are persons of little
influence or consideration among the people
for whom they assume to speak. Bome of
them are, if we are rigntly informed,
persons who would be very likely to fall
within the scope of any order intended to
prevent a disloyal and contraband trade
with the enemy in time of war. There are
in this city many Jews of character, ability
and iuflucnce, whose reputation os mer
chants is known. Nearly all of these have
refused to join in this protest. But thoro
are also in this city somo Jews of a very
different class—men who oen not thrive in
a regular and legitimate business—there
arc such persons of every race or creed—
and of these are somo who joined in the
protest in which the signers assume to
speak for all tho Hebrews in St. Louis.
There is a reason for this. Those Jews
who infested our armies ot the time General
Grant’s order was issued—who fed and sup
plied the enemy, ran goods through the lines,
coriuptcd army officers to get at cotton, and
bought posies and permits with gold and
falsehood—are not the substantial and up
right men of that faith who do business in
our cities. Solid business men stayed at
their posts, and made a living honestly in
legitimate trade. Patriotic men refrained
from pursuits which gave aid to the enemy.
Upright men shrunk from tho corruption
and demoralization attending an attempt to
traffic along the lines of contending forces.
Those who engaged in these pursuits were
men of whom no Hebrew, who respects him
self or his creed, will say one word in
defence. It was to reach such men, to save
the army from demoralization, to prevent the
enemy from getting Supplies, that the order
excluding Jews from the lines was issued.
Every man who reads it knows that, as it
did not iu fact apply to the respectable and
honest and patriotic class of Jews, simply
because they were not the sort of men to
come within its reach, so it was never in
tended to apply to them.
The precise language of an order, as
every one knows, is generally determined,
not only by the General in command, but
by some subordinate staff officer to whom
general directions only are given by the
chief, and in this case, when the intention
aud actual effect of the order are eminently
justifiable, it is altogether unreasonable to
charge upon the General himself strict
responsibility for a particular phrase which
may in fact have been altogether the work
of a subordinate. But if it were known that
the language were written or dictated by tho
General himself, will fair and candid men
forget the intention and actual effect of the
order in a captious criticism of a single
phrase? And upon a criticism so forced and
narrow, in regard to a single phrase of a
single order, out of thousands, will fair men
forget all that has been worthily and honor
ably done by the General of our armies—
forget all those qualities which recommend
him to the confidence and regard of the
people, and before knowing what sort of
man may be nominated against him, commit
themselves not to vote for General Grant
because just in a single order just, in purpose
and just in practical effect, a phrase is used
which offends their pride as a race or creed ?
We feel sure that the Jews of this city,
ns a class, will not, by their action, betray
a feeling so unworthy of them ; tha’t they
will not formally declare that they would
prefer the election of any man, however
unworthy or dangerous to their country,
to that of a General who has deserved
more than the country can give, but who
once suffered a phrase personally offensive
to them to he placed in one of his orders.
Nor would they take part with worthless
and unscrupulous creatures who fed and
supplied the enemy in time of war, simply
because, in order to put a stop to their
rascalities, the General thought it neces
sary to exclude all that class of Jews who
were trying to trade along his lines. Those
who then engaged, or would now engage
in that sort of business, may perhaps find
in his order real eause for indignation. If
they were willing to sell their country for
tho profits on their bargains, they natu
rally did not like to be excluded from the
lucrative trade. But respectable, substan
tial, honest Jews, who transact a legiti
mate business, who respect themselves,
their race, and their creed, will hardly
care to he mixed up in a manoeuvre
originated by unscrupulous politicians, and
appealing to the sympathy of unscrupulous
traders and spectators.
GEN. GRANT'S* ST A IESMANSUIP
Sonie of our cotemporaries are in a
painful state of patriotie apprehension and
alarm lest Gen. Grant's abilities as a
statesman should not prove equal to the
duties of the Presidential office. “Other
Presidents,’’ say they, “have, in their
messages to Congress, taken the initiative
in legislation by proposing and recom
mending measures; but Gcrt. Grant begins
by declaring that ho has no policy.” This
is a mistake. Gen. Grant has not declared
that he will have no policy, or that he will
not perform his constitutional duty of
recommending to Congress such measures
us he shall deem proper for their consider
ation. lie has declared, on the contrary,
that he has a policy, and that his policy is
not to enforce any policy against the will
of the people. We cordially endorse this
declaration as evincing, in the first and
inobt vital point, a souud view of the
functions of a President under our Consti
tution. We further commend it as truer
statesmanship than many of our Presidents
have displayed.
In stilting that lie has no policy to enforce
“against the will of tho people,” General
Grant implies that his whole energies will he
devoted to enforcing such policies as the
people, through their representatives in
Congress, shall have embodied into law.
Tho maintenance of peace and order, the
protection of the rights of all classed to
invest aud labor and to reap the fruits of
tlieir capital and industry, arc boons which
through more than half the area of our
country have never becu enjoyed. General
Grant, in securing these to the South, will
add hundreds of millions of dollars per
annum to the wealth and prosperity of that
section. The maintenance of peace upon
our Indian frontier, and the substitution of
the reign of law for violence and brute force
in otir mining and border districts, would
immensely aid the development of the
mineral Territories into States, and the out
ward flow of wealth which the Government
and people would derive from the precious
metals toward the redemption of the National
debt.
The vigorous enforcement of our revenue
laws would at once greatly cheapen the ob
jects of revenue to the consumer, increase
the income of the Government, lessen tho
burdens of honest tnx payers, and turn out
of office the tax thieves who now stand be
tween all imported and manufactured articles
nnd tlieir consumers, mid gorge themselves
by plundering alike producers, consumers,
and the Government. In achieving these
great results, General Grant will win a
success fur more difficult and glorious than
could arise front any influence he might
exert over t he legislative and political policies
of Cougress. Nay, his success in these, his
proper fields of duty, will add a power and
force to such recommendations as ho may
feel culled upon to make’to Congress which
they could not otherwise obtain. Andrew
Johnson lost tho power to command Ibr want
of the discretion and modesty to obey. Gen.
Grant, by entering upon his office with no
other disposition than to obey, and by the
steady pursuit of that wise policy, will attuin
a far greater inlliienoe and real power to
command. So far from such a policy afford
ing any indication flint Gon. Grant will be a
negative or weak President, it is only the
application to civil affairs of the same quiet
wisdom which has lifted him into the su
preme military power and insured his suc
cess in every undertaking on which he has
entered. • Tribnnt.

Messrs. Perry Davis it Son. Pntidena.R.l.
Dear Sirs -Dnring a residence of tmt ten
years as a Missionary in Siam and China, I found
vour vegetable Pain Killer a mofl valuable
remedy for that fearful scourge, the Cholera.
In administering the medicine, I found it most
effectual to give a teaspoonfu! of Pain Killer in a
gill of hot water sweetened with then,
after about fifteen minntes, begin to give a table
spoonful of tiie same mixture every minute until
relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to
the extremities. 1 tat be tne etomach with Pain
Killer, clear and rub the limbs briskly. Ot those
who had the cholera, and took the medicine faith
fully in the way stated above, eight out of ten
recovered. Yonrs, t:uly,
R TELFOBD.
If an attack with Diirrlira.i, Dysentery, or
Cramp Colic, don't delay the use of the Pain
Killer. Sold by all medicine dealers. Price, 25
cents, oh cents, and T 1 per bottle.

Gentlemen — * * I want to say a little
more about the Pain Killer. I consider it a rtrr
valuable medicine , and always keep it on hand.
I have travelled a good deal since I have ten in
Kansas, and never without taking it with me
in mv practice I used it freely for the AeiaUt
Cholera, in 1840. and with tetter success than any
other medicine: 1 also used it here for cholera in
ISoo. with tiie same good result.
