lIEPIBLICAN ri.ATFOK.VI.
The National Republican party of the United States,
assembled in National Convention, in the city of Chi
cago, on the 20th day of May, 1868, make the following
Declaration of Principles :
Ist. We congratulate the country on the assured suc
cess of the reconstruction policy of Congress, as
evinced by the adoption, in a majority of the States
lately in rebellion, of Constitutions securing equal civil
and political rights to all, and regard it as the duty of
the Government to sustain those institutions, and to
prevent the people of such States 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 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 States.
3d. We denounce all forms of repudiation as a na
tional crime, and the national honor requires the pay
ment of the public indebtedness, m the utmoat good
faith, to all creditors, at home and abroad, not only
according to the letter, but the spirit of the laws
under which it wus contracted.
4th. It is due to the labor of the 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, tor
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
Io 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. 'Die 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 ridical 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 power; has denouncer! the National Legisla
ture as uuconstitut ional; 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.
•Jth. The doctrine of Great Britain and other European
powers, that because a man 1s once a subject, ho is
always so, muat be resisted at every hazard by the
United States, as a relic of the feudal time, not author
ised by the law of nations, and at war with our national
honor and independence. Naturalized citizens are enti
tled to be protected in all their rights of citizenship as
though they were natural born, and no citizen of the
United States, native or naturalized, must be liable to
arrest and imprisonment, by any foreign power, for acts
done, or words spoken, in this country, and if so arrested
and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government to
interfere in bls 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 the country. The bounties
and pensions provided by law for these brave defenders
of the nation are obliagtlons 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,fhould be fostered and encour
aged by a liberal and just policy.
12th. This Convention ifeclares its sympathy with all
lhe oppressed people which are struggling for their
rights.

PersoKad.' —We had a “pop call” from
Dr. Bard, of tKe Atlanta New Era, yester
day.
What, Ho, Gxn. Mbam They have bad a
Camilla affair in Porte mouth, New Hampshire,
but the Radicals make very little fuss over it. A
1 Boston dispatch says :
' “A crowd of 3,000 men from the fishing fleet
attacked and robbed the gardens and orchards,
duting which pistols were fired, and a general
riot ensued. The police, after a hard fight, ar
rested thirteen of the rioters and lodged them
safely in jail.”
Suppo.-o that had happened in (he South, would
not the Northern heart have been tired to a
Vesuviuu heat ?— Anyuata Democratic Organ.
This is decidedly the feeblest defence of
the Camilla massacre we have seen. It is
not stated that I his crowd of 2,000 was
wholly Democratic or wholly Republican.
It was not a political party, but a crowd from
“the fishing fleet.” Against all law, they
attempted to rob gardens and orchards, and
thirteen were arrested by the police nnd
placed in prison. How different with the
Camilla rioters. They went to Camilla for
a lawful purpose. They were driven oil' by
a mob, and not one was sent to prison. They
were either killed or severely wounded. Ao
prisoners were taken.
♦ •
“Just This Once.”—“Just this once,”
the Ku-Klux organ lias said something for
which all Republicans will thank it —“ that
the Georgia Legislature is Democratic.’’
Tea, this body,a majority of whose members
say that the Constitution and laws under
which they assemble is “ unconititutiona),
revolutionary, null and rot J,” is Democratic.
What consistency! The Legislature of
Georgia is Democratic, and is responsible
lor the murderous sentiments now permea
ting the hearts of the people. They will |>e
held to a strict accountability.
Won’t Print' 'em. —The l)en>>< ratic
organ is so much tlisgusted with Ben
Hilk’s letters to the New York Tribune
that it emphatically refuses to print them.
We expect Ben will soon have to cofue to
I the Ifitri r.iacAN to get a hearing in
I Georgia.
“Gallant Little Connecticut.”—Al!
I Ku Kluxism is in the.grea.test ocstaey, just
now, over the reportari result of the insignifi
cant municipal elections in a few towns in
Connecticut. They are welcome to all the
comfort to be derived from such “gclorious"
news, confident, us we are, that their joy
will be greatly embittered on Tuesday and
Wednesday next, by the “lightning flashes’’
from thst hind of stofid” habits and pure
Republicanism. .
N. B.—The K. K. organ-grinder of this
city, and his “numerous admirers” are re
spectfully reminded that certain small sums,
which have been on deposit with us for
several weeks, to be wagered on lhe kucoess
of Grant and Colfax, are still without
takers. Can’t the veatth'j nnd influential
K. K.’g of Augusta “see” our “pile?”
IKI SHING TON AND GHA NT— I
COMV A lIISON.
I Points in a speoch by Dr. Tom O. Ed
wards :]
Neither Washingion nor Grant had early
advantages such as are enjojod by our chil
dren in acquiring knowledge. Grant re
ceived, nt West Point, a military education ;
Washington acquired his by private study
nud association with military men, such as
Lafayette. Green, etc., and both are remark
able for their confidence in the causes they
espoused. Both were candidates for the
office of County Surveyor, and both de
feated —Washington in Fairfax coufity, and
Grant in St. Louis county.
Washington was accused of aiming at
Supreme power—as desiring to make himself
Emperor or Dictator.
Frank Blair says : “Grant has his bay
onets at the throats of Southern millions,
and lie and tho military men who fought
under him aspire so a military and tyrannical
government.”
Washington, by his enemies, nud the ene
mies of his country, was declared illiterate—
a fool. In company with ladies in New
York, Colonel Tarleton, of Cowpens noto
riety, asked oue, “Who is this General
Washington you talk of so much? I never
saw him, nnd I understand he can scarce ,
sign his name?’’ “If you had have looked ;
behind you at the battle of Hie Cowpens, .
you would have seen him ; Jinlrif ’ ,
sign his name, he can was
the reply of a lady. It Tarleton .
looked at his crippled hMjjr'UUgtfs lips, and ,
retired. So of Grant, a inili- (
tary man, and not much of a man nt that] ,
knows nothing of polities, and is a fool in
statesmtiuship.’’ Buekuer, at Don'elson, said
“he was no gentleman,” when he demanded
“unconditional surrenderand Lee, no
doubt, thought him very foolish, on receipt
of his first letter demanding his surrender,
and still more foolish when be found this
Sentence in his second letter: ”1 would say
that peace being my great desire, there is but
one condition I would insist upon, namely,
that the men and officers surrendered shall j
lie disqualified from taking up arms again ,
against the Government of the United States (
until properly exchanged.” How foolish
Grant behaved then, after his experience at
Vicksburg in paroling thirty-seven thousand
of lhe chivalry, and, in four days after tbit,,
found them with Johuston in his rear, “as '
good as over.” A man that took Richmond,
after the failure ot the best Generals to re- ’
duce that Gibraltar, may not boa Democrat,
but I AVoirfj modestly venture the opinion, “
“he is no fool.”
KNOWLKIIOE OF MEN.
Washington distrusted Burr, who had ex
pended his patrimony in raising and equip
ping u regiment which he commanded so
ably ns to receive as a soldier the commeu
dation of Washington, and who appointed
him on his staff. Ilis knowledge of men
taught him that in Burr’s restless, active
and ambitious mind there was uo safety iu
such a period, and he never gave him his
confidence or imparted to him any important
secrot. Shortly after the war Burr fulfilled
all his fears.
Grant distrusted Rosecrans, and had suf
ficient cause, as exhibited in his recent
letter from Sulphur Springs, containing
fulsome adulation of Lee and other traitors.
NEITHER GRANT OR WASHINGTON- COULD MAKE
A SPEECH.
In the rotunda in Washingfofi you will
find a historical painting, “Washington
surrendering his commission.” 'The Speaker
of Congress made an eloquent nnd proper
i speech to Washington—who, after placing
in his hand the commission, attempted a
reply, but became confused and overpowered.
■ The Speaker rose and said, “Sit down Gen.
’ Washington, your modesty is only equalled
i by your merit, and your deeds trar.s'eeni
“ them both.”
j Grant litis never attempted a speech, amt
f it is impossible for him to make one from
B die character of his mind. But in this we
i shall lose nothing—after the exhibition the
; present President has ma eof himself in
“swinging round the circle,” and 1 would
prefer a ilea! and dumb man to one whose
speeches, in their number and virulence, are
such as Andrew Johnson’s.
The first actual w.tr that either of them
ever Seen was as Lieutenairt tu>d Quarter
master. Was'uiugton under Braddock —
Grant in the Mexican war, and they both
rose to the rank of Lieutenant Generals in
the regular service—the only two men who
1 ever filled the office.
' Washington was opposed by the Tories
and Cow Boys in thfi Revolution, and not
t one of them voted for him for President.
> Not a Rebel or Tory South will vote tor
Grant. The Democrats -under Jefferson,
opposed Waaliington’s reflection. Net one
of the “unterrified” will vote for Grant.
I Both advocated Union and peace.
k Washington established the Union, Grant
consolidated it, and both, from their know-
- ledge of war, were friends of peace. Wash
ington put down the whiskey rebellion,
Grant the slavery rebellion —each in person.
‘ Washington was diflident—Grant is.
Both these mon disliked display; neither
of them ever had on their uniforms what
the regulations required* and each refused
tenders of receptions and public display.
After the revolution, Washington visited
Wilmington, Delaware, and was offended at
the reception given him. He said to the
children who strewed the bridge with
flowers, “ It is wrong, it is a desecration for
my horse to tread on those beautiful flow
ers,” and avoided the Committee of Recep
tion. Grant will not go to any public
meetings, and dodges all Reception Com
mittees. Recently invited to visit Dubuqur.
where fcc had worked ns a tanner, be ac
cepted the invitation.
The Committee appointed 7 o'clock tv
meet him in Galena and escort him. At 1
o’clock a solitary passenger on u freight
train was 'Seen, with carpel bag in hand,
to leave the train at Dunlcith, cross the
river, arid walk to the Julian House and
register his name U. S. Grant, and asked
for a Mr. Randall, for whom he had worked.
The Committee had made much prepara
tion in music, flags, and ears, but it was all
dispensed with, and Gen. Grant in the
parlors of the hotel received Iris friends
that night and departed alone on the
freight train next morning.
Washington would not, nor will ‘Craiit,
talk politics. It is related of Washington 1
that when approached on polities he iny a '
riably turned the subject to farming, of !
which he was very fond, and an expert.
Gr int, when buttonholed by a politician
recently mid interrogated, replied, “Have 1
you seen the time of Dexter—three seconds '
faster than Lady Suffolk. He is a splendid
horse. Good bye, air.!’ t
Last though not least.
Washington served two terms us Presi
dent, and, although declared a fool by Tarle
ton, and accused by Jefferson, the father of
the Demosratic party, of determining,
“through the society of Cincinnati!, to es
tablish a monarchy, over which he would
be Emperor or King,” served these two
terms acceptably to the then existing peo
ple, aud with succeeding generations and
is now esteemed “first in war, and first in
peace, and first in the hearts of his country
men disappointed all his enemies, fulfill
ing the expectations of his friends. The
parallel between these two great and good
men will l>« complete when Grant, as lie
surely will, tills that chair, and fills it with
the same acceptance to the loyal men (hav
ing received the same opposition from the
disloyal), fills it in the same way, because
governed by the same principles: fills it by
the suffrages of men who risked their lives
for the Union, and says, as Washington did
in his lator life, “1 desire peace”—“Let us
have peace,” ways Grant.
Ah I my friends, when the star of Bethle
hem shone on Judah’s plains, and the voices
proclaimed to the listening winds “Peace
on earth and good wil! to man,” was it any
wonder that the shepherds, watching their
flocks by night, bowed in wofider and adora
tion at the good news ? They bowed in won
der that the condemnation of the guilty had
passed away forever, and that away was
then prepared by which fallen man could be
redeemed,and that away of escape was then
provided. Is it any wonder, with Grant’s
knowledge of war, that he prefers peace ?
Even Tecumseh, in his last interview with
General Harrison, declared the President a
fool, and when chided for his improper
speech, reiterated it: “I said any man is a
fool that wants war; we know its evils, Gen
eral, lor we fight; it is a great evil, a great
evil.” To many in front of me I need not
argue its evil. You have seen it in the
•'•camp fires of a thousand camps.” You
have seen it in the dying and wounded
around you. You felt its evil on the picket
lines, and never again will you desire war.
You mothers whose eyes were red with
weeping, nnd pained in the night watching
to hear from some son or husband—but I
forbear. War is an evil, known and ac
knowledged by both savage and Christian,
and in the name of humanity avoid it. Let
it be banished from the earth, and most of
all from this beautiful and bountiful
country.
The Doctor elaborated each oue of these
points, and illustrated by anecdotes and
familiar Buyings, such as but few are as
competent as he to do the extraordinary
resemblance between Washington and Grant.

. MORE MURDERS.
Office Sub-Asst. Com. Bureau I
Ref., F. & A. L., k
Athens, Ga., October 6, 18G8. J
Editor National Republican:
Dear Sir—l extract from a letter just
received from South Carolina, from a reliable
citizen, giving an account of the murder of
two citizens of my District, Jackson county.
The letter is dated at Lowndesville, 8. C.
October 2d, 1868, and reads as follows :
“Monday night, the most horrible, cold
blooded murder was committed within half a
mile of this place, that I ever heard of. Mr.
Peleg Cornell, and a colored man who was
with him, by the name of John, from Jeffer
son, Ga., was murdered by parties unknown
to any one here. It appears that they were
followed here, as a stranger was seen in our
village, while Mr. C. was in our store, and at
night, seven mon were seen by a young man
who came after a doctor at night, but who
they were he does not know.
“At night, between 12 and 1 o’clock, some
twenty-five or thirty shots were beard by
several but no attention was paid to them,
as shooting here has become a common
tiring at night. Ou Tuesday morning Mr.
Bell, who lives near where Mr. Cornell
camped, on going to his shop saw his wagon
but no mtfles ; he thought they had gone to
water ata branch close by. Alter breakfast
his supposition was that lhe mules had got
loose and they had gone to look for them.
About ten o’clock he went to a wagon and
saw under it a pair of boots and a coat.
He came to the store and told me. I went
and saw it was Mr. Cornell’s wagon, and
reported the circumstances to Esquire Giles,
who summoned a crowd and went in search.
As some were going along the road by a
pine thicket, they discovered horses’ and
men’s tracks. They went into the thicket and
found Mr. C.’s body. He had been stabbed
in the left breast, over the heart, with a
knife, one and a ball inches wide, and in
probing was found to have penetrated six
inches. A pistol shot in his head, his brains
running nut ami Iris Lands tied together.
1 turned to leave this sad sickening scene
and had gone some seventy yards and found
the negro man. Oh I what a sight he was
—dead ami his clothes burned off. On
examination eight shots were found through
his head, two iu Iris arm and four in his
back. Whether his clothes were set on fire
or caught from the discharge of the pistols,
the jury could not tell. A’Coroner's inquest
was held on Tuesday Evening (I was one)
and. the bodies brought to the village. I
had two Coffins made, and both were buried
Wednesday, Mr. C. was put in a large box
and packed with saw’ dust. I tried to get
somebod y to carry the body to Jefferson.
Who committed the deed, and for what,
we Lave no idea ; they robbed him of every
thing about his body, carried off his mules,
and how much from his wagons is not
known. I have his wagon and effects in
my charge.
1 have given you enough of this sad
affair and will close. Who Mr. C. was and
what he was, is unknown to me and to all
hove as far as 1 know. Find out all you
can, and write me.”
The foregoing speaks for itself—every
word of which is entirely reliable, and possi
bly it may throw some light on lhe subject,
when I tell you that Mr. Cornell was an en
terprising energetic, industrious young man,
from the State of New York. He was a firm
I nion man, an active supporter of the recon
struction measures of this State, and the
Icadimj Republicjn of Jackson county. He
called on me on Lis way to South Carolina.
I had a good long talk with him. He told
me he intended to return in three weeks, and
I had been looking for him some days, when
the shocking news of his death reached me.
Will New York papers please copy, so
that his relatives and friends may know of
his untimely end. “How long, Oh, Lord,
how long?” Very respectfully,
Jxo. J. Knox,
Sub-Ass’t Com'r.
—Additional intelligence from the scene
us lhe late earthquakes in South America
has been received. In Quito the stench
arising from the unburied bodies is horrible.
Pillaging was going on in Arica and Are
quipa, Peru. The artillery battalion at
Aries were at enmity with the people, who
accuse them of robbery. The stores of the
Watcree were being distributed to the needy
in Arica. Shocks were felt as late as
August 29. Some people were still Being
dug out of die ruins alive, one poor fellow
ainmvg them having been entombed for.six
days alongside of his wife’s corpse.
—Mr. Mill declines to contribute to the
