JiEl’l RMCAN PLATt'ORN,
The National Republican party of lhe United States,
assembled in National Convention, in the city of Chi
cago, on the 20th day of May, 1808, 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.
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 a’. 1 the loyal States properly belongs to the people of
those btates. >
3d. We denounce all forms of repudiation as a na
tional crime, and the national honor r equires the pay
ment of the public Indebtedness, in the utmost good
faith, to all creditors, ut 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 nution that taxation
should be equalized and reduced as rapidly as the na
tional faith will permit.
sth. 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 tjie 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 capitalistswill seek
to loan us money at lower rates of interest than we now
pay, and must continue to pay, so long us repudiation,
partial or total, open or covert, is threatened or sus
pected.
7th. The Government of the States should bo
administered with the strictest economy, and the cor
ruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and
fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for r ideal 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 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: 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 Statea 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
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 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 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
arrest and imprisonment, by any foreign power, fokacts
done, or words spoken, in this country, and if so arrested
and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government to
interfere in lys 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 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
ng
MORE MISREPRESENTA TIONS.
Sonic days since, the Ku-Klux editor
charged that Messrs. Bullock, Blodgett,
Conley, and others, had betrayed the
■F colored man by adopting a Constitution
which they knew denied to the colored
man the right to hold office. There is but
one way to deal with men that resort to
that kind of argument, and that is to brand
them as knowing f nlsjfires of facts. He
knows every one oi the gentlemen lie
names were decidedly in favor of colored
men being elected to office in some por
tions of the State. lie knows that his own
editorials daily alleged that because the
State Constitution secured to the black
man the right to hold office and sit on
juries, it should be voted against by the
Democracy. Now, did you not t
\\ k re Satisfied.—A dunce of a Demo
crat, in Sunday’s Ku-Klux organ, feels ex
ceedingly joyful, because in four States the
Democrats are said to have gained seven
Representatives in the lower House of Con
gress. What docs that amount to with our
two-third majority, from which to deduct a
few gains? But there’s the Senate: We
gain two United States Senators—equal to
one whole State for six years. Go on with
your jollification !
That Negro Fiddler.—The Columbus
Enquirer and Sun have much a do about a
colored fiddler that was placed at the head
of our telegraph columns on the reception of
the election news from the North. Be quiet,
gentlemen. " That negro is a correct repre
sentation of the only member of the brass
band that escaped the Democratic massacre
at Camilla.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM a “ WHJGi
OF 1840-48.”
We present this morning another highly
interesting and patriotic letter from a
“Whig of 1840-’48.” Its temper, spirit And
recommendations arc earnestly commended
to the thinking people of Georgia. Oh,
that we all had the courage to speak of
our own political errors and short-comings
with the frankness of this gentleman.
How many wounds would be healed, mis
takes rectified, and injuries repaired and
atoned for !
Perhaps the wisest uninspired writer
that ever lived has taught us that ‘ there is
a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken
at its Hood, leads on to fortune,’’etc. One
of these tides are flowing now, which the
moderate men can avail themselves of with
the certainty of the most happy results.
There are now no two opinions throughout
this broad land as to who will be our next
President. Democrats ami Republicans
alike unite in declaring that Gen. Gbant
will be triumphantly elected. Then let
the moderate men of Georgia accept him
in advance, as Chas. .1. Jenkins did Jas.
Buchanan, when he saw Fillmobe had
no chance in 1856. Seymour has no
chance now ; let all show that they arc
willing to trust the interests of the State to
Grant's soldierly honor, and those inter
ests will be protected with watchful care.
People with evil forebodings talk about
this intense Radical and that fanatic con.
trolling Ulysses 8. Gbant. How absurd I
The man that Sheehan, nor none of the
great council of war, could budge a pin
from his purposes at Vicksburg, will hardly
become the tool of any politician, however
talented or respectable. Let the good and
wise men of Georgia no longer hold their
peace, but speak out for Grant and Peace!
and when he is inaugurated, they will find
that they themsekes hare influence 'with, the new
President. Don’t talk about who will con
trol him, but go to work at once and put
yourself in a condition to advise with him
yourselves. That is the part of wisdom. It
is the path of duty. Then, in the mime of
your families, your f iends, and the peace
of the country, do not be deterred from
pursuing that path faithfully.
Then, by uniting here in Georgia, we
can do justice to all, secure rights for all,
and elect men of integrity and character
to office. But all this requires energetic
work. It cannot be accomplished by stand
ing, Micawber like, waiting for something
to turn up. Things don't turn of them
selves now-a-days. It takes brains and
muscle to turn them.

JUDGE CABINESS' ADDRESS
ANSWERED.
Extract from a Speech delivered by Col.
Akerman, Grant Elector, al Athens, Ga.,
October \llh, 1868
The Hon. E G. Cabine.-.s, as Chairman of
the State Democratic Committee, has lately
issued a remarkable address, pledging his
party, in the event of success, not to disturb
the reconstructed State Governments, unless
they shall be declared void by the Supreme
Court. I cannot beliwe that he has author
ity to make any such pledge. His party
has given him no commission to add a new
article to its creed, especially aa article that
contradicts all the professions ami all the
practice of the party, from lhe first day of
its existence until now; for, it that party
has been inflexible in any point, it is in re
jecting the doctrine that the country is
bound by the, decisions of the Supreme
Court on constitutional questions. While I
cannot question the sincerity of so respecta
ble a man as Judge Cabiness, I must say
that his pledge is not authorized by the his
tory, the temper, or the platforms of his
party.
Passing by that disrespect for all law,
which is a frequent and manifest ingredient
of Democratic character ; passing by the
contempt which Georgia showed for the
Supreme Court in the cases of Tassels,
Graves, the missionaries, and the Cherokee
Nation ; passing by the claim of President
Jackson to expound the Constitution for
himself, without regard to the expositions
made by that Court; passing by the
declaration of Mr. Cass, that while the de
cisions of that Court might bind inferior
courts they ought not to bind the other de
partments of the Government; passing by
Mr. Calhoun’s energetic denial of the juris
diction now conceded to that Court by Judge
Cabiness, but not forgetting that Mr. Cal
houn’s mind supplied the State Rights
Democracy with most of their constitutional
doctrine: passing by Judge Benning's at
tack on the authority of that Court in one
of his first opinions from the Supreme bench
of Georgia; passing by Mr. Toombs’ decla
ration in a printed speech now before me,
that “the Supreme Court has ever been an
unsafe reliance on political questions
passing by the contempt habitually express
ed for that Court by our Democratic orators
in places whore they do not expect to be
reported (for only last Tuesday 1 heard one
of them ray, in a speech at Carnesville, that
the Judges of that Court are “old women,’'
“silly creatures” and “old grannies"); I
come to the formal action of the Democratic
party, and assert that in no national con
vention, and in no Georgia State conven
tion, has that party.ever consented to be
bound by the decisions of the Supreme
Court.
On the contrary, it has solemnly refused to
be so bound.
In the National Democratic Convention at
Charleston in 1860, n resolution was offered
that “the Democratic party will abide by
the decisions of lhe Supreme Court on ques
tions of constitutional Jaw.” On this reso
lution the yeas were 21, and the nays 238.
Thus the doctrine of Judge Cabiness was
then rejected by the representatives of the
whole party, and this action has never been
reversed.
The National Convention which nominated
McClellan in 1861 did not reverse it. The
National Convention which nominated Sey
mour in t#6B did not reverse it. The State
Convention in Atlanta last July, of
which Judge Cabiness was the leading
member, did no't reverse it.
The doctrine of Judge Cabiness, then, has
never been admitted into the Democratic
creed. His party does not hold it. His
party will not conform to it. The whole of
their political nurture, faith and profession
is against it. His pledge to wait for the
action of the Supreme Court will be kept by
few of them besides himself. He is no
spokesman for the ferocious spirits of his
party who have disgraced the present cam
.paign with more lawlessness than ever ap
peared before in American polities. Violent
by nature, violent by training, violent by
practice, they will persist in violence until
they encounter the check of Grant’s firm
hand, or, in the improbable event of their
own triumph, rephinge the country in blood.

A $20,000 CONTRIBUTION.
Judge Edwabd Pierpont, one of the
most prominent lawyers in New York city,
and one of the main sachems of Tammany
Hall, has come out for Grant, and hands
$20,000 over to A. T. Stewart, to be
distributed for campaign purposes. Here
is Mr. Stewart’s reply :
My Deab Sib—lt gives me great pleas
ure to know that you fully appreciate the
consequences to all business men, indeed
every one having any .interest in the pros
perity of our country, that must result from
the election of General Grant.
' The question is presented to the people
whether they will aid in electing an admin
istration bent upon trampling loyalty into
the dust and elevating upon its ruins a
power controlled by rebel chiefs, whose
motto will be, “The Rebellion Vindicated,”
with prostration to every brunch of indus
try and business at the North; or whether
wc should place in.the Executive Mansion
one emphatically of the people, who has
never acted but from a just sense of duty
to his country, and from whose administra
tion we will have all the blessings that can
flow from peace in every department of our
Government, inspiring a confidence that
cannot but lead us to prosperity and hap
piness as a nation, and promising for us a
future unequalled in the history of the
past.
To secure this end, I accept your gene
rous contribution, and will apply it to
such proper uses as may tend to bring
about a result so promising, with blessings
to us all. Sincerely your friend,
Alex. T. Stewart.

A PROPOSITION FOR A POLITICAL
REFORMATION.
NO. 11.
Mr. Editor -The well-tempered remarks
with which you accompanied the publication
of my first communication has prompted me
to essay another.
We do not differ very widely in our csti
mate of the perils that environ us as a people,
or as to the best means by which we may
become extricated therefrom. There appears,
also, but little difference between us as to the
kind of men whom wc should select for im
portant public stations; and 1 agree with you
fully, that the choice,, heretofore, of incom
petent men by the Republican party at the
South, grew out of. the fact—as a very natu
ral consequence—that men who would have
more satisfactorily represented and reflected
the views of the people of our section, could
not be induced to become candidates of that
party. Instances of their refusal to. do so
have occurred in my presence ; and I cannot
I see how, under the circumstances, the Repub
licans could have done otherwise than to
vote for such as would accept their suffrage,
or yield the field altogether. Hence, it seems
that I, and other Conservatives are as much,
or more, to blame for the election of these
objectionable men to office, than are the
Republicans themselves. I see the error
now, as 1 saw it and warned my friends
three years ago; but, being impelled by cow
ardice —the dread of sundering old ties and
associations—l was deterred, like thousands
of like opinion in the South, from acting in
the premises according to my honest convic
tions of right and duty. I make this confes
sion with no small degree of shame, and with
the knowledge that the illiberal and bigoted—
those who deny that any purity and virtue
can exist in persons who oppose them will
denounce mid revile me for it. Let them do
so. They will yet learn that moderation, in
the present crisis, is the true policy, and that
which should have actuated our entire people
always, but more especially since their sur
render to Grant and Sherman, in 1865.
Your kind allusion to my unheeded coun
sels emboldens mo to state hero, very suc
cinctly, what “my policy” was. 1 refer to
it in no spirit of egotism, but that your
readers may compare it with lhe wiser
counsels lately uttered in the cities of
Columbia and Charleston. S. C., by that
distinguished Democrat, Hon. John Quincy
Adams, which that distinguished Southron,
Gen. Wade Hampton, has publicly avouched
as truthful and patriotic 1
Immediately after my return from the
army, in May, 1805, 1 endeavored to con
vince my friends that we wore a conquered
people, without rights or privileges except
by the sufferance of the United States Gov
ernment ; that we ought to be thankful for
the smallest of these, and careful to enjoy
them temperately and wisely. I urged, also,
that as slavery was “the Iliad of all our
woes”—the prime cause of the war—it
could not longer exist; and endeavored,
in my humble way, to impress all with
whom 1 came in contact that it was our
bounden duty—ns well a matter of interest
and self-protection as in justice to our former
slaves—to cultivate the kindest .relations
with them possible, so that when wo should
bo restored to our former position in the
Union, we could as confidently rely upon
their fidelity and friendship as we did before
and during the wav. Pending the canvass
authorized by President Johnson, for Gov
ernor and members of Congress and the
Legislature, 1 urged the selection of moder
ate men only for those positions—of men
who had not served in the Confederate
Army, or rendered themselves conspicuous
in the prosecution of the war, or in favor of
secession. And, on the meeting of the Leg
islature, I visited the capital and there
strove to induce members, as a matter of
policy, to elect ex-Provisional Governor
James Johnson and Hon. Joshua Hill
both of these gentlemen being at that time,
as now. in high favor at Washington— to
the United States Senate.
Such, sir, was “my policy” in 186-5, It
has undergone but slight change since.
Who does not now see that had it been
adopted by our people', Georgia would have
been immediately readmitted as an equal in
the Union, and that she would not this day
be saddled with that greatest curse of popu
lar governments—Universal Suffrage? But
enough, perhaps, on this subject, though 1
believe that a candid retrospection, each for
himself, by the leading men of all parties at
the South, would bo productive of much
good.
Men have read hjstory with but little
profit, and are short-sighted indeed, who
were unprepared for lhe present state of
things at the South, and everywhere in the
nation. The evi s and oppressions of which
we complain are the inevitable concomitants
of war; and none but bigots and fools will
delude themselves with the hope that this i
great government can only b° restor 'd and
administered in conformity to their selfish
views.
The ills that afflict us are the offsprings of
onr own Ambition and Hate; and the >.ooucr
we modify our views, and yield prompt, if
not cheerful, obedience to the terms exacted
by Congress, the better it will be for our
selves, for our section, and for posterity.
1 ask again, has not the South—which,
prior to the war, was lhe very Edeu of Peace
and Happiness— experienced enough of
s rite, of carnage and destruction ? Can the
conflicting views and opinions of men be
harmonized, except by conciliation and com
promise I hen, let the voice of those Cox
servativf.s who cannot agree with the
extremists of either party, but whose hearts I
yearn for the return oi peace and social
: equality among their fellow-citizens, be heard
and heeded now. In the name of all such
' (and they number many thousands in Geor
gia and the South), I implore both Democrats
’ and Republicans to yield something, for
■ once, to our demaud for peace and the
. restoration of friendly relations between our
people of every complexion and race. By
common consent, we demand that the asperi
ties of party shall cease, and (since all cannot
be of one mind), that all who cannot agree
shall agree to disagree as friends. We de
mand this, not as parlizans, or in the interest
1 of any political organization, but as brothers
having the same common cause, danger and
destiny a.-, yourselves. Wc state it boldly,
and ns a right. Our stout hearts ami strong
arms bled and struck for you in peril’s dark-
■ est hour; we stood firmly by you through all
j your long and desperate struggle for a sepa-
rate nationality. Having acted thus (and in
numerous individual instances contrary to
our feelings and best judgment), for the
1 sake of harmony and union, will you not
' now yield something for the attainment of
the same great end ? There is not only no
harm in retracing a wrong step, but it is
1 noble to acknowledge an error.
Very truly yours,
A Whig of 1840-’-18.
