REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
The National Republican party of the United States,
assembled in National Convention, in the city of Chi
cago, on the 20th day of May, 186.8, 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, ot 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 maihtained, 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, io aii creditors, at home and abroad, not only
according to the letter, but the spirit of the laws
under which it was contracted.
4lh. It Is due to the labor of the nation that taxation
should he equalized and reduced as rapidly ns the na
tional faith will permit.
6th. ’Hie 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,
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
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 nfirsed mid
fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for r ulieal 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 pdbple 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
bis executive powers to render insecure the property,
peace, liberty and life of the citizen; has abused the
pardoning power; Las denounced the National Legisla
ture as unconstitutional; has persistently and corruptly
resisted, by every measure in bis power, every proper
attempt at the reconstruction of the States lately in re
bellion; has perverted the public patronage into on
engine of wholesale corruption; and has been justly
impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and
properly pronounced guilty thereof by tho vote of
thirty-five Senators.
9th. llie doctrine of Great Britain and other European
powers, that because a man is once a subject, he 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 law of nations, and at war with our national
honor and independence. Naturalized citizcnsare>enti
tled to be piotectedln all their rights of citizenship as
thoughtbey were natural born, and no citizen ot the
United States, native or naturalized, hiust 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 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 arc obliagtions 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, 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
rir
THE DEMOCRATS GIVE IT UP.
Hon. Foster Blodgett received the fol
lowing dispatch from a distinguished
Georgian. It will be seen that the Louis
ville Courier, the leading Democratic organ
of Kentucky, and edited by Gen. BuiKxmt,
gives up the contest:
Louisville, Ky., Got. 14, 1868.
Tu Hon. Foster Hlodgctt, Chairman Repub
lican State Central Committee of Georgia:
Dear Sir—Republicans hayc carried, by
largely increased majorities, all the States
that had elections on yesterday. The Louis
ville Courier of this morning says : “it is
useless to attempt to conceal the fact that
the verdict of yesterday virtually decides the
Presidential election. Our people must make
up their minds to the fact that General
Grant will be the next President.’'
Little Girl.—-Ma, what makes pa, and
nearly all the men, have such long faces to
day ?
Ma.—There was an election up North
on Tuesday, and it went against us.
Little Girl.—Well, I don’t thank 'em
for making my pa look so ugly.
We Cavlvred it. —Some ol our Demo
cratic friends complain that we used the
Democratic rooster yesterday. Well, wc
captured him.
Work.—Nothing is done while aught re
mains to do. Bear this in mind, Republi
cans. Is there anything remaining to be
done, that can be performed ? Let your
country’s peace, honor and liberty impel
you to it at once.
. -
Tde present Presidential campaign is
one of the very few that have ever occurred
in America where the choice lies between
a patriot simply and a mere politician ; one
being chosen by the impulse ami senti
ment of the great heart of thejicople - the
other by the wire-pulling, cunning, trick I
hunting leaders and followers of a party. I
77/7: LATE ELECTIONS.
We have less disposition to glory. over
the complete overthrow and route of our
political enemies, than to rejoice over the
certainty of the country’s redemption.
God being our judge, we believed a Dem
ocratic victory this fall would have been
attended with the most disastrous conse
quences in the South, and throughout the
country. As Gen. Longstreet remarked,
some time since, a Democratic victory
would re-open all the old questions that
were thought to be settled by the war, and
anarchy would have ruled the hour. But
happily, this danger has been averted. We
have met the enemy in four great States,
ami the result is not merely his defeat; but
an overwhelming route. We do not regard
this as a mere partisan triumph. It is a high
er and nobler victory. We arc willing to
share its honors with every one who is now
willing from this out, to give his voice and
vote for Grant ami Peace. There are many
stupid Democrats, but none so stupid as
not to know that General Grant is just as
certain to be elected President as he lives
to the day of election. Then, why not
accept him at once ? You know you can
trust him ; then, why not come and go with
us? We will do thee good. We will lead
you bom the poisonous pastures of social
bate and private discord into the green
pastures of harmony and fraternal friend
ship. Above all, we will teach you to love
the stars and stripes. That is the acme of
every Republican’s ambition—to love the
flag, and get others to love it.
When Gen. Lee saw that he was inevi
tably whipped, he surrendered. It he
could afford to surrender to Gen. Grant,
can’t you ?
Before the election, both the Democratic
papers in this city, and throughout the
country, admitted that if Indiana, Ohio
and Pennsylvania should sustain the Re
publicans, the case would have already
been decided against the Democracy. All
three of these States have gone for us with
a will. Then why longer abuse, villify,
proscribe and murder Republicans in
Georgia? Let us have peace ! It is wis e
to kick against the pricks.

From tho New York Times.]
THE SOUTHERN OPPOSITION AND
ITS PURPOSES—MR. HILL'S
LETTER.
Our allusion to Mr. B. H. Hill, as apoliti
cal missionary, whose services the National
Democratic Committee hesitates to employ,
has elicited from that gentleman a letter
which is at once an apology and a challenge.
Mr. Hill declares that he ‘did
North to make speeches,” though he admits
that it audiences of a certain kind were ob
tainable, he would be glad to address them.
Democratic invitations, he says, he has de
clined, and to the Democratic Committee he
has not made tiny offer of service. On the
former point our information was derived
altogether from Georgia newspapers friendly
to Mr. Hill and his alleged mission. They
announced his intended departure, Asserted
that he would place himself in communica
tion with the National Democratic Commit
tee, and speak wherever it might appoint.
A tour from New York to Wisconsin was
indicated as his programme, and the entire
Seymour Press of Georgia predicted benefit
to the party as the result of his oratory, If
there was misrepresentation here, Mr. Hill’s
most zealous friends are responsible for it.
His own admissions show, we think, that our
statement, of which he complains, was not
far from the truth. If he has refused to hold
public converse with Democrats, it cannot
be from any dislike to their candidates or
their cause. He is a supporter of Seymour
and Blair. Ho is a violent opponent of re
construction, and an advocate of its over
throw. And he was once sanguine of suc
cess. At least so we infer from bis Atlanta
speech on the 23d of July, an authentic
version of which is before us, bearing the
imprint of the Augusta Chronicle <(’; Sen
tinel. On that occasion he said :
“We have a party now organized—a
strong and a glorious party—with statesmen
at its head, and with correct principles for
its platform. From Maine to California
the glorious tramp of the Democracy is
growing more and more distinct, and by
November a verdict will be pronounced by
the great freemen of America that shall
gladden the hearts of patriots now and
forever/’
The letter we print to-day docs not main
tain the same confident tone. Its writer no
longer predicts a Democratic victory in No
vember. He is dolorous and fault-finding in
anticipation of defeat. But certainly, with
this highfalutin reference to the party and
its prospect on record, it is difficult to un
derstand his professed unwillingness to
affiiliate with the Democracy.
Mr. Hill complains that we speak of him
us it “ wild Southern extremist," and ap
peals to his antecedents to prove that he is
otherwise. What we did say was that
“in conjunction with Messrs. Cobb and
Toombs he had made himself obnoxious by
wild and bitter utterancesand the At
lanta speech is our justification. Thus, on
that occasion, referring to white citizens of
Georgia who sustained reconstruction, he
exclaimed:
“ Oh, you jenegades from everything that
can make you hope for even a chance of
being gentlemen. * * * * Ye
cowardly, base disunionists of the vilest
type, you disgrace humanity by c ailing
honest men rebels! * * * Ye vile
renegades from every law of God and every
right of humanity, you arc deceiving the
unfortunate negro to his ruin.”
Again, speaking of and to the same class
of loyalists, he said :
“And when the people shall have pro
nounced that verdict (in favor of Seymour
and Blair), the Court will take courage and
pronounce their judgment. Then, ah, then,
what will become of you, ye isolated hypo
crites; all power to threaten gone, treachery
exhausted, relief measures and reconstruc
tion measures both dead, the Radical party
out of Congress—how on earth will you hide
your shame, thus stripped naked to the gaze
of the world in all your unhidden inlauiy I
What will become of you ? ‘Ye generation
of vipers, how will you escape the damna
tion of hell ?’» That’s what is coming. Oh,
it's coming; thank God, it's coming—com
ing to the cheer of patriots and (he dismay
of traitors.”
Yet, again, on the same theme :
“These criminals will be among us and
must be assigned appropriate positions.
What shall we do with them? * * * I
would not hurt a hair of their heads; do
them no personal harm, and deprive them of
no right. Give them^iver—oh, give over the
miscreants—to the inextinguishable hell of
their own consciousness of infamy.”
We might extend our quotations, but these
are sufficient, probably, to prove that, de
spite his protestations, Mr. Hill is charge
able with “wild and bitter utterances.” The
man who thus assailed citizens of his State '
simply because they approved of a policy
which he opposes, can have no right to the
title of peace maker. To such heartless nod
unchristian appeals to the prejudices and
passions of pro-slavcty crowds may be traced
much of the lawlessness and violence which
at present disgraces Georgia. The intoler
ance which treats difference of opinion as a
crime, and which ostracises every supporter
of the (’.oigrAaoionßl nnlicy na n “mis
creant,” a “renegade,” a “viper” and a
“hypocrite”—after the manner ot .Mr. Hill—
is largely responsible for the massacre at
Camilla and the murders at Opelousas.
On the general subject of reconstruction,
Mr. Hill merely reiterates the well-worn
ideas of his party. He ignores the rebel
lion and its consequences. He assumes that
States which, through four bloody years,
fought to destroy the Government, have a
right to resume their old positions in the
Union, free from any penalty or condition
whatever. All his rhetoric has this for his
basis. The people who conquered the re
bellion, and brought back these refractory
States against their will, entertain a differ
ent opinion. They hold that the South for
feited the rights which it insolently relin
quished-, and may not resume them except
upon certain well defined terms, which Con
gress, representing the loyal States, alone
shall dictate. Against this assertion of right
on the part of the North it is idle to protest.
It is the logical, reasonable and proper re
sult of victory in war, and will be enforced
as resolutely as the war itself was prose
cuted. There was a time when milder
measures would have satisfied the country.
Those for whom Mr. Hill speaks were, how
ever, as bitterly hostile to the Fourteenth
Amendment as they now are to the Recon
struction acts. They stubbornly refused to
make the moderate concessions then de
manded, and thus, by disloyalty and ob
stinacy, necessitated the enactment of the
measures now in operation. Tho sternness
and vigor of Congress have ti vindication in
the intractability and bad temper of the
Southern whites.
If anything were required to establish the
reasonableness of the distrust with which the
loyal portion of the people regard the pur
poses of the Southern opposition, it would be
found in Mr. Hill’s letter. He announces,
in behalf of his Georgia friends, that they
will “ practically disregard these reconstruc
tion measures, it matters not who may be
elected ami order to the contrary.” So the
Georgia Legislature has already, in effect,
declared ; and so the Democrats everywhere
advise. What is this but a defiant and sys
tematic resistance to law and the authority
of the National Government? And does Mr.
Hill suppose that the power which put down
the rebellion will submit to insult and defi
ance, culminating in a practical disregard of
the measures it has enacted ?
Mr. Hill admits that he will return home
“a mortified if not a wiser man.” He sees 1
more suspicion in the public mind than he
expected to encounter. We tell him that that
suspicion is warranted by his utterances, by
other utterances like them, and by the law
less displays which almost daily occur in
Southern States. We tell him, moreover,
that he will go back imperfectly acquainted
.with public feeling in these latitudes, if he
imagine that Southern hostility to the policy
of Congress will be permitted to gain the
ascendancy. There is, as Mr. Adams has
said, neither malice norrevenge in the terms
dictated by Congress or the support accorded
them by the people. But there is, as Mr.
Hill should know, a settled distrust, which
experience excuses, and a settled purpose,
which Southern malcontents will in vain
resist.
HIGH DEMOCRATIC ENDORSE
MENT.
How many Democratic candidates for
Congress can obtain such high endorsement
as that of Gov. Bramlette, of Kentucky, of
the Republican candidate in the Second
District ?
Louisville, Kv., Oct. Bth, 1868.
It having been brought to my notice that
Capt. W. P. Pierce, late of the 11th Ken
tucky cavalry, now a resident of Georgia,
and a candidate for Congress, has been
shamefully traduced in his character as a
citizen and soldier, I deem it but an act of
justice to state, that I have known him from
his infancy, intimately and well, and that
no young man had a better character in
Kentucky than he. His father. Dr. J. S.
Pierce, was, during many years of his life,
my intimate personal friend ; was an emi
nent physician, and one of our first class
citizens. Capt. Wm. P. Pierce was com
missioned by me (as Governor of Kentucky)
captain of company A, 11th Ky. cavalry,
on the 7th of August, 1804, having previous
ly served as Sargent, and been promoted
to Adjutant of the regiment. His character
in the army was that of a gallant soldier,
and his promotion foiNgallant services. He
was from a boy a Republican, or as we term
them, abolitionist in politics. I cheerfully,
and as an act of justice to a meritorious
young man, bear testimony to his good
character as a citizen, and meritorious ser
vices as a soldier.

General Orders No. 27.
Whereas, By an act of Congress of the
United States, approved March 2d, 1865, it i s
made tho duty of the military authority to pre
serve the peace at the polls at any election that
may be hold in any of tho States; and IFA eTOIs ,
this duty has become tho more imperative, from
tho existing political excitement in tho public
mind, from tho recent organization of civil gov
eminent, and from tho fact that Congress ha.
by statute, prohibited the organization of mill
tary forces in tho several States of Un Depart
ment, it is therefore, ordered,
I. That the several District Commanders will
as soon as practicable, on tho receipt of this
order, distribute tho troops uudcr their com
mands as follows:
* * » * -x *
Iu the District of South Carolina :
One company Bth Infantry, to Chester.
Ono company Sth Infantry, to Unionville.
Ono company Bth Infantry, to Laurensville.
Ono company Sth Infantry, to Abbeville.
One company Bth Infautry, to Newberry.
Ono company Bth Infantry, to Edgefield.
Ono company 6th 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 Thomasville.
One company (C) sth cavalry, to Athens.
The company a t Savannah to be reinforced,
should occasion require, by such number 11 tutu
at Fort Pulaski as can be spared from the post.

11. Detachments, when necessary, may be
made to points hi the vicinity of each post; but
in no case, uor on any pretext whatever, will
detachments bo sent without a commissioned
officer, who will be fully instructed by his Post
Commander.
*'** » » »
VIII. District Commanders will instruct Post
Commanders in their duties, and the relative
position of the civil and militarj powers. They
will furnish them with copies of the circulars
from these lleaquuartirs, of August 25th, and
October Ist ult., (tho latter of whicli was for
warded September 15th, to District Command
ers), iu which the instructions of the War De
partment are set forth in full. They will
impress on Post Commanders that they arc to
a t in aid and co operation, and in subordination
to the civil authorities; that they arc to exercise
discretion and judgment, unbiased by political
or other prejudices ; that their object should be
exclusively to preserve the 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 w here time
will permit, apply for instruction to superior
authority, but they must at all hazards preserve
tho peace, and not be restrained by technical
points, when, iu their conscicntOus judgment
under the rules above set forth, it is their duty to
act. Poet Commanders, ou being notified ol the
proposed holding of political meetings, may
scud an officer, and if necessary a detachment,
to watch tho proceedings and sec that the peace
is preserved.
IX. To the people of the several States com
posing the Department, the Mi.jor General Com
manding appeals that they w ill co-operate with
him and the 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 cuaeted m
the Department. Ho urges abstinence Item
inflammatory and incendiary appeals to the
passions; discountenancing the keeping open ol
liquor shops ou days of political meeting atidof
election; the abstaining from carrying arms,
and assorting the individual right of construing
laws by force of arms. No just cause is ever
advanced' by resort to violence. Let there be
charity and forbearance among political oppo
nents, whatever may be the result; let B*°“
good citizen determine that all who, under the
law, have tho right to the ballot shall exercise it
undisturbed. If there are disputed points of
law, let them be referred to tho Court', and l ct
not mobs or political clubs, or other irresponsible
bodies, construe and undertake to execute the
law. Thia appeal is made in tho earnest hope
that the Major General Commanding can rely
on tho good sense and correct judgmeuttif the
mass of tho people, and that he will not be com
pelled to resort to the exercise of the power with
which he is intrusted, and which he will tn° st
reluctantly employ. But ho thinks it his duty
to make known, that so far as the power under
his command will admit, he will not permit the
peace to be broken, and that he will not be
restrained in the conscientious discharge ci his
duty by technicalities of laws made when the
present anamalous condition of affairs were
neither anticipated or provided for.
