KI4PI BI.ICAN PI.ATFOHM.
The National Republican party us the United States,
aMCiubled in National Convention, hi the city of Chi
cago, on the 20th day of May, 1868, make the following
Declaration of Principles :
Ist. Wo congratulate the country on tlx assurecT suc
cess of the reconstruction policv of Congress, as
evinced by the adoption, in a majority of the States
lately in rebellion, or Constitutions securing equal civil
and political rights to all, and regard It as the duty of
the Government to sustain th'»se institutions, and to
prevent the people of such States from being remitted
to a state of anarchy.
2d. The guarantee, oy (JongroM, 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 piust 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, in the utmost good
faith, to all creditors, at home and abroad, not only
according to the tetter, but the spirit of the laws
under whkhit was 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, for
the preaerration of the Union for all time to come,
should be extended a fair .period for redemption,
and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of in
ferest thereon, whenever it can honestly be done.
ttth. That the beat policy tn dimtideh our burden of
debt is to so improve our credit that capitalists will seek
to loan us money at tower 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 Goveniment of the Uuitutl States shoiijd be
administered with the strictest economy, ami tho cor
ruption* which have been so shftmefliUy nursed and
fostered by Andrew Johnson ©all loudly fbr ridicai re.
form.
Bth. We profoundly deplore theuntlmofy 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 te support; has usurped high
legislative and judicial functions; has refused te exe
cute the laws; has used bls high offtee to induce other
officers t< ignore and violate the laws; hits 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 Ijegisla
tore as unconstitutional; has persistently and corruptly
resisted, by every measure in his power, every proper
attempt at the reoonstruction 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 gnllty thereof by the vtsie of
, thirty-five Senators.
Vtii. The doctrine of Great Britain and other Ettrvnean
powers, that because a man is onee a subject, he is
always so, must be resisted at every hazard by the
United States, as a relic of the feudal time, pot Author
ized by the law of nations, and at war with oar national
honor and independence. Naturalized citizens are end
i tied to be protected In all their rights of citizenship as
though they were natural bom, and no citizen oi the
United States, native or naturalized, must be liable to
s arrest and imprisonment, by any foreign power, for acts
done, er word® spoken, In this Country, and if so arrested
• and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Gowrnment io
' interfere hi his behalf.
loth. Os all who were faithful la the trials of the late
war, there were none entitled io more especial honor
than the brave soldiers and seftmen, who endured the
hardships of the campaign and cruise, and imperilled
their lives in tlie service «the country. The bounties
and pensions provided by law for these brave defenders
of the nation are obliagtfons 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,
i and increase of power of this nation, the asylum of the
t oppressed of all nations, should be filtered and encour*
•B c d by a liberal and just policy.
5 12th. This Convention declares its sympathy with all
• the oppressed people which are struggling for their
e r»ghts.

OLD WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Revenue Fentitle.—The cry ts “Stop Thief*—
Tie Caniillti Mueeacre—Gordon Granger—
Gear fit PolitHiane—No Conyresis.
Washington, October 10, LSGB.
The Biuckloy Revenue fraud investigation
has come to an inglorious ending—no cause
for action having been found, and the tool,
McHenry, will have an opportunity to act as
defendant iu a criminal court for false swear
ing. Binckley, however, “still lives,” and
intimates that the future is pregnant with
big events; but this is all bluster. Thei
object of Binckley is well understood here.
It is \vel| known that the President is “in”
with the “Whiskey Ring,” and, as the public
knew well enough there was an immense
amottni of swindling going on, it became a
matter of necessity to make a scape-goat of
somebody. Accordingly, Goininisskmer
Rollins aud his assistant, Harlan, being
Republicans, were weleeted for the demon
stration, It was as fully believed Before the
inVestlgatfon as trow, that the accused parties
were innocent of all crimes, but the tracks
of the real rascals must be covered up in
some way, ami accordingly the officers of the
law were pift upon the wrong scent. It is
the old game of a thief crying “stop thief,’'
(tod has thus far been very successful. The
villains will be unearthed, though, in the
future—say immediately after Gen. Grant’s
inauguration as President, op the 4th of
Maroh next.
Tho official report in relation to tho Cam
illa massacre' is now before the public, aiid
excites very general indignation. The most
important fact established by this ami simi
lar outrages Is, that the white masses of the
South are not yet prepared to acknowledge
the rights guaranteed by.the Constitution to
individuals who held diifereut political opin
ions. Until these rights are acknowledged
arid lived up to, the, people will hava to be
ruled by the strong hand.
General Gordon Granger has come to
grief. He has been absent from his com
mand for a lofig time without leave, and it is
iutiiuatcd that be will be tried by a court
martial.
The sudden demise of Howell Cobb turd
the political assassination, in New York, of
B. It. Hill, should warn Southern men of
their political stamp not ■to trust to the
promises of Northern sympathizers. Many
of their class are good philosophers—that is,
of tlie ancient stdmols, before Bacon upset
all the old theurigs; but they eanutit con
tend with tire practicsi, logical, taultcr-of
fact Northman. Far letter for-them to
stay at borne and cultivate their farms and
the colored population. Your 'Conserva
tives” by thia time ought to have learned
that blustering is not logic, nor threata of
violence argument. The people of the
North are beginning, reluctantly, to believe
that there cau be no substantial peace at
the South until the old visionary theorists
haye died out, or arc suppressed
The visit of J. Q. Adams to Columbia is
looked upon as cue of the novelties of the
campaigu. He will undoubtedly state some
wholesome truths, by which tho people there
may profit, if they will but take heed. They
should invilo Charles Sumnor next.
Another novelty was the McClellan
demonstration in New York. McClellan
refused to attend |>ersoually, but wrote n
letter. ’ It was tbc play of Hamlet with the
character of Hamlet left out. The letter
afforded but a grain of comfort. While the
"Hero of Spades’’ is a ’Democrat, he is
anything but a modern one, aud the
Democracy are (privately) terribly indig
nant at his reserve. It was a noticeable
fact that there werenoex-soldiers organisa
tions participating in the display.
It is feared that with all our other troub
les the “Grecian Bendibus” is upon us in
an epidemic form. A large nujiiber of
Indies in this city have been attacked, and
the number of cases is increasing daily—
imtwithstauding the exclamations of wicked
boys, “Oh hain’t she gut it lwl I”
Washington is very quiet to-day. -'fhere
arc.comparativcly few strangers in town,
besides a large number ot GovctuinDHt
employes have left to vote in tlieir respec
tive States on Tuesday next. Tire only
anxiety manifested here in regard to the
October elections is as to the Republican
majority each State will roll up.
1 venture this prediction: that Grant’s
administration will be as popular ..t the
South before the first year has elapsed m
he is personally popular throughout the
North to-day. He will give to the South
just what is required to develop her vast
resources—peace. I of course do not in
clude the blusterers—they will dry up and
blow away in good time.
There is little or no foundation for tho
report of the intended marriage of Secre
tary Seward, fie will possibly visit Cuba,
as stated, during the coming winter; but
the visit, though ostensibly to recuperate his
health, will be in reality to make a bid for
the Island. t'■ f i
It has been aiiflioritatitely announoed
that there will be no session of C mgress on
the IGth, and the Washingt in boarding
lious ■ keepers are iu despair. On t|ie day
named both houses’of Congress will be ad<
juurned by their presiding officers to Novem
ber 10th. Capital.
MINOR TOPICS.
From the New York Times.j
The election .of General Grant will secure
harmony between Congress and the Execu
tive nnd all the departments of the Govern
ment.
Pendleton said, some lime ago, that the
October elections, which come off on Tues
day, the 13lb, would decide the Presidential
issue. He will, therefore, be kept iu sus
pense for only twu more secular days. After
that time, he can put a period to his long
speeches, and be happy that he failed of a
nomination.
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Ne
braska will be carried by tho Republicans on
Tuesday. On Wednesday tho World will
show that they have been carried by the
Democrats. On Thursday we will have the
official returns. On Friday the World will
show ttwt the elections were of very little
account. On Sattftday all sensible men will
acknowledge the certainty of Grant carrying
three-fburths of all the States, and more, too.
In January, 18G5, before Grant’s success
over Lee, gold was as high as 2.34. A few
months after, when he had gained his great
victory over the rebels, it fell to L3.fi—4o.
Why this immense change for the better?
Because Grant’s success gave security to
the national life, peace to the country,
strength to the government and assurance
to the public mind. In like manner, Grant’s
election next month must improve our finan
cial condition ; for it will give assurance of
peace to the country, will scatter all schemes
of repudiation, will dispel all doubffi of the
national honor, and will secure an economi
cal aud successful administration.
Gov. Bullock, of Georgia, and Gen. Meade
have hsued proclamations in regard to
affairs in that State. The Governor refers
to the recent disturbances, declares that
order throughout Georgia must be maintain
ed, aud orders all sheriffs and other civil
officers to take steps for its mainteuancc.
Gen. Meade’s proclamation directs the dis
tribution of his troops in different localities
with a view to the forthcoming elections,
and .while announcing that they must be
subordinate to the civil authorities, says
they must not be restrained, in ease of dis
turbance, by any petty technicalities. These
prompt and excellent measures of the civil
and military authorities of Georgia, give
assunmee of order throughout the State.
WIIAT WILL JOHNSON DO!
On the fourth day of March, 18$)—rain
or shine, blow hot or blow cold, fair weather
or foul, there will be no postponement—Mr.
Andrew Johnson will positively retire from
the White Hoose at Washington. Ho went
in by actual murder; he goes out by poHti
eal suicide. What will become of him ?
lie cannot be a Moses. He has tried his
hand, and failed. He could not get as far
as the cradle in the bulrushes in that char
acter. “A damned pretty Mosessaid an
oitl negro iu the gallery, who listened to the
reading of his first veto message. The Red
Sea through which he proposed to lead the
colored people must have been the red sea
of blood. But they have respectfully de
clined his services us a leader, and ii he
leads anybody,.it must be white people
De the white people wish him for a
leader ? We do nut. know where. His rise
in political office was, as he has often nar
rated, gradual, and through regular stages,
from village alderman up. His descent
promises to be more rapid. It looks as
though from the summit of the White House
he would go suddenly down out of sight.
Mr. Johnson’s father is said to have once
distinguished himself by saving a drowning
mnri; but it Wenk! teqaire more than hu
man power to save Mr. Johnson . himself
from sinking. ■,» <
Mr. Johnson was formerly a tailor; but
uiib of his former slaves; now a freedumn,
occupies his old.tailor shop, aud might not
like io give it rip.
We can think of no s;xjl on earth hl
which the presenft: of Mr. Johnson will be
parlimdarly valued. After all, if there was
only a ladder by which to get to it, that Hole
in the Herivens selected by Mr. Boutwell as
the place to which Mr. Johnson should be
c-misigticQ, miglß bp eligible as any hole
that he can crawl.into.
Mr. Johnson, however, might console him
self with one reflection, if with no other. It
is said that misery loves coniphny. He can
not, be /uistnkeu ih estimating himself aS of
about as much consequence as either of the

General Orders No. 27.
Wn.'kCAS, By an act of Congress of the
United States, approved March 2d, 1865, it is
made the duty of the military authority to pre
serve the peace at the polls at any election that
may be bold in any us the Statesand Whereat’
this duty has become the more imperative, from
the existing political excitement in the pubiic
mind, from the recent organization of civil got
eminent, and from the fact that Congress has,
by statute, prohibited the organization of mili
tary forces iu the several States of this Depart
ment, it is therefore, ordered,
I. That the several District Commanders will,
as soon as practicable, on the receipt of this
order, distribute the troops under their com
mands as follows;
* « ♦ » * ♦
In the District us South Carolina:
One company Sth Infantry, to Chester.
One company Bth Infantry, to Unionville.
Ono company Sib Infantry, to Laurensviile.
One company Bth Infantry, to Abbeville.
One company-Bth Infantry, to Newberry.
One company Bth Infantry, to Edgefield.
One company Sth Infantry, to Beaufort.
One company 6th Infant-y, to Georgetown.
One company 6th Infantry, to Florence.
In the District of Georgia :
One company 16th Infantry, to Albany.
One company 16th Infantry, to Columbus.
One company 16th Infautsy, to Macon.
One company 16th Infantry, to Augusta.
One company 16th Infantry to Washington
Wilkes county.
One company' 16th Infantry, to Americus.
One company 16th Infantry, to Thomasville.
One company (C) sth cavalry, to Athenk
The company a t Sav.aunah to be reiafuroed,
should occasion require, by such number vi men
at Fort Pulaski as can be spared from the post.
♦«.* * » r •
11. Detachments, when necessary, may be
made to points in the vicinity of each post ; but
in no ease, nor bn any pretext whatever, will
detachments be sent without a commissioned
officer, who will be fully instructed by hi.- Post
Commander. ; . »
» » « •»■»»
VIII. District Commanders will instruct Post
Commanders in thoir duties, aud the relative
position of the civil and military powers. They
will furnish them with copies of the circulars
from these Heaquuarters, of August 25th, and
October Ist ult., (the latter of which was for
warded September 15th, to District Command
ers), in whioh the instructions of the War De
partment are set'' forth in full. They .will
impress on Post Commanders that they are to
act in aid and co operation, and in subordination
to the eivll authorities; that they are to exerci.se
discretion and judgment, unbiased by political
or other prejudices; that theft object should be
exclusively to preserve tho peace and uphold
law and order, and they must bo satisfied such
is the object of tho civil officer calling on them
for aid, that they must in all cases where time
will permit, apply for instruction to superior
authority, but ihey must at all hazards preserve
the peace, and not bo restrained by technical
points, when, in their conscientious judgment
under the rules above set forth, it is their duty to
act. Post Commanders; on being notified of the
proposed holding of political mbetlSgs-, may
send an officer, and if -necessary a detachment,
to watch the proceedings awd see that the ]i«ace
is preserved.
IN- To the people 01-Uie-eeverai stales cum
posing the Department, the Major General Com
manding appeals that they will co operate with
him and tho civil authorities in Sustaining law
and order, in preserving the peace and in avoid
ing those scenes of riot and bloodshed, and the
wanton destruction of property and life, which
has already, in some instances, been enacted in
the Department. He urges abstinence from all
inflammatory and incendiary appeals to the
passions; discountenancing the keeping upon of
liquor shops on days of political meetings and of
election; Hie abstaining from carrying arms,
and asserting the individual right of construing
laws by force of -arm?. No just cause 15 ever
advanced by resort to violence. Let there be
charity and forbearance among political oppo
nents, whatever may be the result; let each
good citizen determine that all who, under tho
law, have the right to the ballot shall exercise it
undisturbed. If there are disputed points of
law, let them be referred to the Courts, and let
not mobs or political elobs, or other irresponsible
bodies, construe and undertake to execute the
law. This appeal is made in the earnest hope
that the Major General Commanding pan rely
on tho good sense apd correct judgment of the
mass of the people, and that he will not be com
pelled to reeort ta fho exercise of tho power with
which ho is intrusted, end whieh he will most
reluctantly employ. But he thinks it bis duty
to make known, that so far as the power under
his command will admit, tie will not permit the
peace to lie broken, and that he Will not be
restrained in the conscientious discharge of his
duty by teohuicalUies of laws made when the
present auaiaaleus condition of affairs were
neither anticipated or provided for.
