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.

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.

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.

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.
