SUNDAY MORNING June 21. t**» For I»KESIDENT Or thr (Jnitkd Btatks: ULYSSES S. GRANT. FOR VICE PRESIDENT : Schuyler Colfax, of ix nr ax a. 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.

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 hi nisei f. Gexkuai. Grant is supported by neatly every illustrious soldier in the Union—Sher man, Meade, Sheridan, Sickles, George 11. ’] ho mat, Hooker, Pleasanton, McDowell, Canby, Emory, Schofield, Mower, Ord, Hal— lepk, Kilpatrick, Logan, Rawlings, and a host of volunteer Generals, many ot whom have heretofore been Democrats. General Hancock is the only really eminent ollicer who seems willing to train with the anti-war Democracy. In a Quandary.

The building will be capable of holding ten thousand people, and it will probably lie completed in time for the State Convention, to be hold on the Ist of July. The Mobile Tribune confidently looks for ward to the day when the South and the vast empire of the West shall control this Government, anil New England shall have no voice in it “except whining.’’ A few Republicans met on Saturday after noon, at the Astor House, and resolved to form themselves into an organization to sup port Chief Justice Clmse in ease it« received he Democratic nomination.

No Superintendent of Registration in the South bus at all equalled Col. Ilulbert in ability ns well as in the dispatch of business. Col. Ilulbert wished to retire from the position of Register long since, but Gen. Meade could not dispense with his services, and would not, we learn, accept his resig nation. In this, Gen.

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.

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. Manhattan, Kansas. April IT, 1866. 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.
