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. Titos. E Bramlette. OPENING!

BULLOCK By the Governor : Governor David G. Cott iso, Secretary of State. octl4—tde Headquarters Department of tub South i AtlXnta, Ga., October 8, 1868. j 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.

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.
