It liITBMCI IM PI. a ti- oil nr. 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 THE LEADING DEM OCR A TIC ORGAN IN THE UNITED STATES WANTS A CHANGE OF CANDIDA TES! Our telegrams this morning state that the New York World.'in a double leaded article, asks fix- a new deal in the Seymour and Blair game and thinks a change of Democratic candidates desirable !! Let us have Peace! —• ♦ • Now is the Time to ranks of the Grant column arc open for the re ception of recruits. Come all yc that love peace and prosperity, and good fel lowship and Christian unity, and march tinder our proud banner.

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 uamesof persons registering, has been making himself ridiculously conspicuous in the office of the Commissioners of Registration. Keep quiet, carpet-baggy. ♦ Sevmovr Tuicmphant.- A vote in the Auburn (N- Y.) State prison resulted as fol lows : For Seymour. 550 ; for Grant, 5. [ 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. . - «•» - ' Communicated. 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.

You see Bill and mo was down to the dam—excuse mo—catching fish, though we didn’t catch any; 1 got one bite, and Bill told me to .scratch, but I didn’t. Well, I felt in my pocket and found my knife and it was gone, and 1 said, 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 bigger’n him, and he said he'd ro«k mo to sleep mother, and I said he was a bigger one, and he said I never had the measles, and 1 said for him to fork over that knife, and he said he couldn’t see the fork, and I said I'd fix him tor a tombstone at Mark waiter’s, aud he said my grandmother was no gentleman, and I said he dersent take it up, but he did, you bet, you never—well, you never did—then 1 got up again, and said he was too much afraid to do.it again, and he tried to, but he didn't, and I robbed him and throwed him down on top of me like several bricks, and I tell you it beat al!—and so did he, and my little dog got be hind Bill and bit him, and Bill kicked at the dog, and the dog ran, and I ran after the dog to fetch him back, and didn’t catch him till 1 got clear home, and I’ll whip him more yet.

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.
