RE I* I'BI. IC AN I*l. A T FOR M.
The National Republican parly of the United States,
assembled in National Convention, in the city of 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, as
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 sustain those institutions, and to
prevent the people of such States from being remitted
to a state of anarchy.
2<l. 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, in 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.
sth. The national debt, contracted, ns 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.
(»th. 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 nursed and
fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for r adical 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 people who elected him an*! the
fause he was pledged to support ; has usurped high
egislativeand 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
his executive powers to render insecure the property,
peace, liberty* and life office 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 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 guilty thereof by the vote of
<4hirty-flve Senators.
9th. Tho 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 citizens are 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
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 nene 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 tho country. The bounties
and pensions provided by law for these brave defendera
I 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.
11 th. 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
“Sad News." —The Quitman Banner heads
the late election returns as above quoted
and remarks :
We have no heart to comment on this fell
stroke of destiny. It shatters the hope, of the
South for the restoration, in November, of con
stitutional liberty, anil is indicative that the
chafing chains of oppression will be increased.
Why are wc thus accursed ?
Keep a stiff upper lip, brother of the
Banner. There ’is no cause for despond
ency in the late elections; but rather for
joy and gladness. Come, help us elect
Grant and Colfax, and we promise that
constitutional liberty shall be restored to
and “the chafing chains es oppression”
stricken from the limbs of all at the South I
Pehsecution of Freedmen. —However
unpalatable, the severity of the following ,
from a late number of the New York Tri
bune, will be acknowledged as just by fill
right thinking men :
While he is coaxed and caressed by the
Seymourites in some of the Southern States,
the persecution of the freedman has reached
to such a pass in others that if the Demo
cratic National Committee cares a penny for
its chances in those States, it must call off
its dogs. Southern passions and prejudices
are fooling it once more, as they have often
fooled the Democratic party in years gone
by. The mad, infuriated, blind, and reck
less course pursued by some of the Southern
Seymourites is not merely alienating such
colored men as might be disposed to go with
that party, but it is awakening a feeling of
indignation at the North, and driving thous
ands of Democrats in the Republican ranks.
They are welcome, although wc bitterly re
gret the cruel cause of such accessions.
Meanwhile, the freedmen in Georgia, and in
some of the other States of which he is a
citizen, is learning a sharp lesson. If he
should fail to profit by it, then human nature
is a little different from what it used to be.
Call off yonr dogs !

PICTURE BY A DEMOCRATIC
ARTIST.
“My Maryland,” in ft gushing paroxism
of defeat, thus ventilates bis indignation :
“We have always held that it was the
better policy for the South to abstain en
tirely from the business of reconatrnction.
The masses thought, or weio impelled to
think, differently, and so, made one damag
ing concession after another, without glory
and without compensation. One step of this
sort necessarily involved another, and the
culmination came nt the New York Con
vention, when there was a general fraterns
zation between old foes, and a determina
tion expressed to forgive past differences
and lock shields for the restoration of true
Republican liberty and the purity of tbe
Constitution. So far, so good. The South
formally conceded leadership to the North
ern Democracy, and, if fictions meant
anything, pledged herself to be guided by
those who commanded the Northern column
of the parly. Scarcely, had the
New York Convention passed away, when
the campaign was precipitated in the South,
before the North had made a sketch of
operations or projected a plan ot battle.
The very men who should have been
most quiet, all at once became most vocifer
ous, and the very prejudices which ought
to have been held in leash in the South
were most vigorously and incautiously pre
sented. Early in the canvass, we protested
'against this folly, and were rewarded for
our pains by paltry innuendoes or slang
imputations. The triumph ol Seymour
was taken for granted. The possibility of
his defeat absolutely hooted at. 1 his vehe
ment and passionate condition lasted until
even those who were most haughty at first
began that they had committed
an egregious blunder. They found that
everything they said was purposely distorted,
and every correction made laughed at and
derided by unscrupulous and fanatical par
tis ms. By this adroit and persistent mi
representation, lhe unthinking multitudes ol
the East and West were Inshed into a belief
that all previous pacification at the South
was a cunning sham, and that the spirit of
revolt only waited an opportunity for a fresh
manifestation of vitality.
Cease tour Strife, Ben.—There can be
no question that Mr. Hill has spoken and
written himself—if not an ass, a most intol
erable bore. We are sorry lor this, because
we admire his talents, and regret to see
them prostituted ns they have been, lhe
New York Sun thus “pokes fun” at him :
“Instead of delivering speeches from the
rostrum to Northern audiences, Mr. Hill, of
Georgia, has taken to writing long epistles
to all the newspapers. In this way he lias
favored the Times, Heiald, and Tribune —
but how happens it he has overlooked the
World? The Democratic leaders may pre
vent Mr. Hill from injuring their cause by
his speeches, but they can’t prevent him
from injuring it through the newspapers.”

Editor National Republican—
Dear Sir : I am sorry to have to call your
attention to a wholesale wrong being enacted
on an extensive scale by a few unprincipled
storekeepers, who, not being satisfied to do
an honest and legitimate business, adopt
the most nefarious system of employing
“drummers,” who daily carry a train .of
their own color into one or two certain
■tores where they are fleeced of their hard
earnings, by being greatly overtaxed, for
what they need, to sustain their illegiti
mate and nefarious system, thus robbing
the most respectable portion of storekeepers:
which, if on the other hand, this dishonest
(and 1 may term it) cruel, unfair system
was abolished, every storekeeper would
share alike. Believing if a very heavy line
was imposed upon those caught drumming
many who refrain from coming here from
doing business, would gladly return.
Hoping you will give publicity to the
above for the good of thousands,
Yours truly, Justitia.

Dear Republican: Glorious news have
reached us this morning from Pennsyba
nia, Ohio and Indiana. Republicans and
peace arc in the ascendency. The election
of Grant and Colfax is certain. Democrats
look sick, and Seymour and Blair stock is
offered at a ruinous discount this morning.
A grand illumination will lake place here
to-night. Advise Republicans throughout
the State to pay their taxes for last year, or
they will not be allowed to vote. Democrats
are on the alert—Republicans must be alive.
Let us have Peace.

Liberal.—We learn, by a private letter
from Augusta, that Judge King, of the
Georgia Railroad (the most liberal road in
the State), has furnished money for the pur
pose of having the wagon roads leading to
it worked and put in good order, so as to
enable planters who live off the road and
desire to ship their cotton to Augusta, to do
so with greater facility. This is a good
move in the right direction,and we hope will
induce many farmers to ship their cotton
over that rond, and thus reward them for
their liberality.— Eatonton Press.

General Ordert Jfo. 27.
Whereas, By an act of Congress of the
United States, approved March 2d, 1865, it i s
made the duty of the military authority to pre
servo the peace at tho polls at any election that
may be held in any of tho States ; and WAereass
this duty has become tho more imperative, from
the existing political excitement in the public
mind, from the recent organization of civil gov
ernment, and from the fact that Congress has.
by statute, prohibited the organization of inili
tary forces in the several States of this Depart
ment, It is therefore, ordered,
I. That the several District Commanders will,
as soon as practicable, on tho receipt of this
order, distribute the troops under their com
mands as follows:
«-•» • * »
In the District of South Carolina:
One company Bth Infantry, to Chester.
One company Sth Infantry, to Unionville.
One companysth Infantry, to Laurcnsvillo.
Ono company Sth Infantry, to Abbeville.
Ono company Bth Infantry, to Nowberry.
One company Bth Infantry, to Edgefield.
One 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 16 th Infantry, to Albany.
One company 16th Infantry, to Columbus.
One company 16lh Infantry, to Maron.
One compauy 16th Infantry, to Augusta.
Ono company I6th Infantry to Washington'
Wilkes county.
Ono company 16th Infantry, to Americus.
One compauy 16th Lifautry, to Thomasville.
One company (C) sth cavalry, to Athens.
The company a t Savannah to be reinforced,
should occasion rcqujroj by such number el men
at Fort Pulaski as can fie spared from the post. *
* •» » «■ » »
11. Detachments, when necessary, .way be
made to points in tho vicinity of each post; but
in no case, nor on any pretext whatever, will
detachments bo sent without a evunuissbned
officer, who will be fully instructed by hi-- Pwt
Commander.
* »»*-»*
VIII. District Commanders will instruct Post
Commuudcrs in their duties, and tho relative
position of the civil and military powers. They
will furnisTi thorn with copies of the circulars
from these Hcaquuartirs, of August 25111, and
October Ist ult., (the latter of which was for
warded September lath, to District Command
ers), in which the instruction.; of the War De
artment are set forth in full. They will
impress on Post Commanders that they arc to
act in aid and co operation, add in subordination
to the civil authorities; that they are to exorci.-c
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 the civil officer calling on them
for aid, that they must in all cases whore time
will permit, apply for instruction to superior
authority, but ihoy must at all hazards preserve
the peace, and not be 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 Hie
proposed holding of political meetings, may
send an officer, and if necessary a detachment,
to watch the proceedings and sec that the peace
is preserved.
IX. To the people of the several Stales com
posing the Department, tho Major General Com
manding appeals that they will co-operate with
him and the civil authorities in sustaining law
and order, in preserving tho peace and in avoid
ing those scenes of riot and bloodshed, and the
wanton destruction of property and life, which
has already, in seme instances, been enacted in
tho Department. Ho urges abstinence from all
inflammatory and incendiary appeals to the
passions ; discountenancing the keeping open d
liquor shops on days of political meetings ando,
election; the abstaining from carry mg arß,! >
and asserting the individual right of construing
laws by force of arms. No just cause is ever
advanced by resort to violence. Letelicre be
charity and forbearance among political oppo
nents, whatever may be tho result; let each
good citizen determine that all who, under the
law, have the right to the ballot shall exercise it
undisturbed. If there are disputed points of
law, let them be referred to tho-Courts, and H
not mobs or political clubs, or other irresponsible
bodies, construe and undertake to execute the
law. This appeal is made in the earnest hope
that tho Major General Commanding can rely
on the good sense and correct judgment of th®
mass of the people, and that he will not be com
pelled to resort to tho exercise of the power wif
which he is intrusted, and which he will tno •
reluctantly employ. But he 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 be will not
restrained in the conscientious discharge of '■
duty by technicalities of laws made when t- c
present anamalous condition of affairs
neither anticipated or provided for.
