The'National Republican party of the United States,
assembled in National Convention, in the city <«f 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, aa
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 sifstain 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, tn the utmost good
faith, to all creditors, at home and abroad, not only
according to the letter, but the spirit of the laws
under which it 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. •
stb. The 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, ho 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 nursed and
fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for radical re
form.
Bth. Wt* profoundly deplete 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; lias 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 denounced the National Legisla
ture as unconstitutional; has persistently and corruptly
resisted,by every measure in his power, every proper
attempt at the reconstruction of the States lately !n 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.
9th. The 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 Slates, 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 citizen* arc 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
nrrest and imprisonment, by any foreign power, for acts
done, or \V>rds 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 werefrdthful in the trials of the late
war, there were none entitled to more especial honor
than the brave soldiers and senmen, who endured the
hardships of the campalgti and cruise, and imperilled
their lives In the service of the country. Hie bounties
and pensions provided by law for these brave defenders
of the nation are 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
rig

UNPARALI.kt.ED.— In the history of this
country for the past fifty years, the circum
stance of the election of a particular Presi
dential candidate being generally and
almost universally conceded by the oppo
nents of that candidate, nearly a month
before the election. Such is the fact this
yeas. Every one admits the certainty of
Grant's election. That means a peaceful
obedience to law.
Keep Quiet. —We understand that acer
tain fussy little Democratic carpet-bagger
who has been given the pitiable job, by the
Democratic Clubs, of copying, daily, the

himself ridiculously conspicuous in the

[ New York Exchange.
Yu Hypocrites.—One would suppose, on
reading the Ku-Kluxund Democratic organs
in Augusta; that the Democratic citizens
regarded the sending of troops as an unmiti
gated outrage against the rights of the people
of Georgia. These papers never mention
the names of General Meade or Governor
Bullock, except to scandalize and villify in
the grossest and most indecent manner, about
this matter of sending troops to Augusta.
Now, in order te show how vile and knavish
is all their publications, we state that it is
within the knowledge of the conductors of
both these newspapers that a certain activ e
local Democratic politician took round a peti
tion for signatures,req««•/<«</ that the military
be returned to Auguslh. This petition was
numerously signed by Democrats, and was
promptly forwarded.
We do not object to the petition ; but we
submit that it is manifestly unjust and unfair
to attach blame to others for doing what they
themselves requested.

RECONSTRUCTION SEYMOURITES.
Editor Republican:
Is not the above a very strange name ?
Can there be such animals? Il seems so.
But I take the broad ground that no
sensible man who favored reconstruction,
from whatever motives, or tor whatever
reason, can, conscientiously, honorably, and
with pure motives, support Seymour and
Blair, their platform and their party : ami I
will prove it to themselves.
Who were the reconstructionists in Geor
gia? First, the Union Republicans proper,
white and colored, who sincerely believed
that a perpetual Union, safe, protective ami
desirable, could only be rebuilt upon the one
enduring basis, civil and political equality un
der the broad tugis of the great national party,
which had pul down the giant rebellion,
overthrown African slavery, and was power
ful to protect all, oppress none, that were not
criminals. Os course, none of these can go
back to barbarism and be Seymourites 1
There was another class, not in unison with
the Republican party—its ideas and aims—
who, fairly beaten iu arms, honestly surren
dered and determined to accept
terms they could get. (desiring, of course,
the least objectionable), and who believed
the Reconstruction Acts-the best that, could
be got under the circumstances, and heartily
desirous of making the best .of a bad
bargain, by wisdom, prudence and for
bearance.
There was still another class, not Repub
lican, nor yet willing to submit gracefully to
the results of vanquished rebeliioii, brought
on causelessly by themselves, but who looked
to the Republican party and Reconstruction
as the only hope for relief from their old
debts. Many of these latter had not the
nerve and manliness to come out for Recon
struction, but skulked and would not go to
the polls, looking to those they despised t>
save them. To-day, many such are using
all the vile terms of reproach in the Demo
cratic vocabulary against the Republicans,
when they know that to the negroes, carpet
baggers and scalawags they owe all the
relief they have got, the homestead, and the
abolition of that relie of barbarism—im
prisonment for debt. Shame on them.
Now, is there one sensible man of the
second class named who really believes we
can get any better terms by the triumph of
Democracy in the election of Seymour and
Blair? All know that both the candidat s,
all the party, the platform, arc unequivo
cally pledged to undo Reconstruction —Blair
by the army, the moderate ones by the Court,
by time, and by votes. Every one knows
1 that the Senate is Republican lor the next
four years ; so nothing can be done by legis
lation. The Court will refuse to adjudicate
political questions, flic only hope, then, is
Blair's war. But, weak-kneed Reconstrnc
tionists, do you prefer war, with its simple
chance of better terms, io negro suffrage,
which is really the matter of offence? And
do you really think Blair’s war could possi
bly boa success ?
As to the Relief men, they arc not only
to the last degree unwise, bui they are most
ungrateful. But for the despised and ma
ligned Republicans you would to-day be
houseless and homeless, by the Sheriff coin
pelling you to pay your just debts to your
honest and long-suffering creditors, and
your wives and children would be without
shelter or a place wherein to lay their heads;
yet, knowing as you do that with the elec
tion of Seymour and Blair, and the success
of their policy, away goes Relief, away goes
the Homestead, and in their stead returns
the ghostly, barbaric spectre, imprisonment
for debt, and the Sheriff’s wallets will be
filled with bail writs and ea. sas.
Men of Georgia, will you not be men in
deed, conquer your prejudices, save your
roof-trees over the heads of your families,
and seek your own enduring, best interests?
Negro suffrage is not only a fixed fact—Hie
Democratic partyof Tennessee having pledged
themselves to it, mid the other States will
soon fall iii line-.-but it has done you good
only, so far, and not evil.
The truth is, that the men of the two
classes named, who go, or pretend to go, for
Seymour and Blair, me either too ignorant
to know their best interests, or are actuated
by unworthy motives—fear of public opinion,
moral cowardice, or insane prejudice against
the blacks, or hope of personal, local advan
tages in trade, politics, etc.; fur the last
glimmer of hope of national success has
faded from the vision of the well-informed.

Bill, you stole my knife, and he said I was
another, and I said go there yourself, and
he said it was no such a thing, and 1 said
he was a liar, and could whip him if 1 was

you never did—then 1 got up again,

Whereas, By an act of Congress of the

made the duty of the military authority to pre
serve the peace at the polls at, any election that
may bo held in any of the States; and lI7i CI - m „
this duty has become the more imperative from
the existing political excitement in the public
mind, from the recent organization of civil gov

by statute, prohibited the organization of mili
tary forces in the several States of this Depart

I. That the several District Commander will

order; distribute the troops under their com

will furnish them with copies of tbo eiroulati
from these Heaquuart< rs, of August L’itli, and
October Ist ult., (the latter of which was for
warded September 15th, to District C'jmtpaud
ers), in which the instructions of the War fie
artment are set forth in full. They will
impress on Post Commanders that they are to
act in aid and eo operation, and in subordinate®
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 tbo peace and uphold
law and order, and they must be sa'isfiod such
is the object of the civil officer calling on them
for aid, that they must in all cases where time
will permit, apply for instruction to superior
authority, but they must at all hazards preserve
the peace, and not be restrained by technical
points, when, in thcii; conscientious judgment
under the rules above set forth, it is their duly to
act. Post Commanders, on being notified of the
proposed holding of political meetiu.'S, m’J
send an officer, and if necessary a detechmcot,
to watch the proceedings and see that the peace
is preserved.
IN. To the people of the several States com
posing the Department, the Major General Com
manding appeals that they will co-operate with
him and the civil authorities iu sustaining law
and order, iu 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, boon enacted n>
the Department. Ho urges abstinence from all
inflammatory and incendiary appeals to the
passions; discountenancing the keeping open el
liquor shops on days of political meetings and of
election: the abstaining from carry ms srms ’
and assorting the individual right of corfstruiog
laws by force of arms. No just cause is over
advanced by resort to violence. Let there be
charity and forbearance among political oppo
nents, whatever may bo the result; lcte.ic.l
good citizen determine that all who, under b'
law, have the right to the ballot shall exercise it
undisturbed. If there are disputed points v
law, let them be referred to the Courts, and ”-
not mobs or political clubs, or other irresponsib'O
bodies, construe and undertake to execute <■-
law. This appeal is made in the earnest hol«
that the Major General Commanding can c J
on the good sense and correct judgment of t -
mass of the people, and that be will not be c
pelled to resort to the exercise of the power " 1U
which he is intrusted, and which he will i
reluctantly employ. But ho thinks it bis -.
to make known, that so far as the power un i
his command will admit, he will not permit ti
peace to be broken, and that ho will
