KEPIBIK.IX PLATFORM.
The National Republican parly of the United States,
assembled in National Convention, in the city of Chi
cago, on the SOth day of May, 1868, make the following
Declaration of Principles :
. Ist. We congratulate the country on the assured suc
cess of the reconstruction T>olicy of Congress, a?
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 aharchy., -
2d. The guarantee, by Cengre s, of equal suffrage to
all loyal men in the South was demanded by every con r
side rat lon of public safety, of gratitude and of justice,
ayd 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 whMhit was contracted.
4tb. 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, contrasJvd, a> it ha£ been, for
the preservation of the Union for all time to come,
should he extended over a fair period for redemption,
and it is the duty of Congress to’redtice the rate «f in
terest thereon, whenever it can honestly bedoue.
6th. That the bast policy to diminish our burden of
debt is toimprove our credit that eapitttfists will seek
to loan us money at Ipwer rates of interest than we now
pay, and must continue t-» pay. I"’.*:: a i< j. .illation,
partial or total, open or covert, is threatened or sus
pected.
7th. Th#Government of the United States should he
administered with the strictest economy, and the cor
ru|4ions which have been so* Hhamefhlly nursed and
fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for rulical re
form.
Bth. profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic
death of Abraham‘Lincoln, and regret the occesslau of
Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, who lias acted
treacherously to the people who elected him and the
cause he was. pledged to support; bus’ usurped high
legislative and judicial functions; has refused to exe
cute the laws; has used his high office to tnlluce < ther
officers to ignore and violate the,laws; Ims employed
his executive powers to render insecure the property,
peace, liberty end lift? of the cilixen: ha:: abn.-od the
pardoning power: has denounced the National Legisla
tiweasunconstitutional; has persistently ajxl corruptly
resisted, by every measure in hi< power, every proper
attempt at the reconstruction of the States lately in re
bellion; has pervorted the public patronage into an
engine ot wholesale corruption ; and has been;Justly
impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and
properly pronounced guilty tlierrof by the vote of
thirty-five Senators. -
9th. The doctrine of Great Sri lab: aild other 'European
powers, that because a mun is cube a subject! be is
always so, must be resisted at every bayard by the
United States, as a relic of the feudal time, not author
ised by the law of nations, and at wav with our notional
honor and independence. Naturalised oiti-zens are enti
tled to be protested ip til their rights of cilir.enrtiip ns
tliongli they were natural horn, end no citizen of the
United States, native or naturalized, must lie liable to
arrest and ini|>risonment, by any foreign power, for act*
done, or words spoken,in thiseetnitry, andif so arrested
and imprisoned, it is tbr duty of the feOrernment to
interfere in his belmlf.
Mth. Os alt who were fnillrfulin the trials of the late
war, there were none entitled to more ospeaiar bonor
than the brave soldiers and serunen, who -endured the
hardships of the campaign and cruise, and imperilled
their lives in the service of the country, fflie bounties
and pettehms provided by law for these brave defenders
of the nation are obliagtions nOver to be forgotten. The
widows and Orphans of the gallant dead am- the wards of
the people, aaacfed legacy bequeathed to the nation's
protecting care.
11th. Foreign Immigration, which iu the past has
added so much to the wealth, development of resources,
and Increase of power of this natron, the asylum of the
oppressed of all nations, should be fostered and encour
aged by a liberal and just policy.

LETTER FROM THE CAPITAL.
The Weather—Fickle Politicians, etc.
Atlanta, Octabsr'2o, 1868.
Editors National llepvblican—-In th ■
“ Gate City' 1 the similarity between the
weat’u i and politics is very striking. To-day
the sun shines most beautifully, shedding its
refulgent rays upon all alike; to-morrow,
clouds gather and rains descend in torrents,
and gfotmi settles upon every face. So with
some so-called politicians iu this region. A
few months since, when the Democratic skies
were bright, ami the hope of success was
buoyant, and, as one said, on a certain occa
sion, that the “whole weight 61 the ■ Demo
cratic party of Fulton county was upon his
shoulders, - ’ io those days these Democrats
became Blair eyed, and could Seymour ItAo
the future than they were willing to Grant
to any one eKe.
But now, the weather has changed, the
clouds coming troin the North and North
. west have so overwhelmed them, that they
are willing to Grant more and Ney-less
than any men I have read nboht. Ever and
anon we hear them exclaiminir, ‘'Mac, as
the sun rase this morning, ami 1 gazed upon
her beauty, I whs determine 1 -to wash tny
hands of polities.” His repentance, poor
fellow, came too late ; be identified himself
with the Atlanta clique, and can't shirk, the
responsibility at «<> late a p-riod in his
political history. Wo liav. ,up lien ,to >, a
strange anomaly as a politician—no one
knows where to place him —a certain S- na
tur to Congress, who wasaccidentally elected.
The Democrats rattier claimed him after his
election, and he made them a spec;!:, in
which he said he had'apoh'rv/, but coil 1-not

been “sintteilug round," until he went to
Washington Citv, where, wo nr- ere libly. in

he told the Democrats he had. lie Inis been

t.ETTER I ROM ATHENS.
Editoi: Bm’vm.iCA.v—On Saturday last,
by command of a previous notice, a Mass
Mooting was held here of the white and
black Republicans of this section of country.
There.were present al least four thousand
people.
A procession was Famed at 12 o’clock m.,
at the Colored Baptist Church, in the rear of
the old Mitchell Hotel. When the band
wagon, at the head of the procession, reached
the Episcopal Church, the last of the assem
bled persons wore culy leaving the place
from wehnee they started. First, came th'e
colored brass baqd, in a wagon drawn by
four horses, decked with miniature flags .of
the Union. Next came a four horse wagon,
in which were thirty-seven children, repre
senting the thirty-seven Stales of this glo
rious Union. Following these were nutneroiis
Societies—Firemen' • and Benevolent—and
the balance were composed of the numerous
delegations from the surrounding counties.
The procession moved on to the lot in the i
rear of the Lucy Cobb Institute, where a
Stand bad been prepared by the Committee,
of Arrangements. After a very feeling
prayer by the Rev. Mr. MeLean, interrupted
by an accident to the stand Anly for a few
moments, Major .1 71. Knox introduced to
the assembly the Hou. A. T. zkkerman,
Grant Elector for the State al Large, who,
for over two hours, interrnpftd by frequent
cheering, entertained his audience as few
other Sncn in our State ean do, or ever do.
He was followed bv Dr, ,1. E. Blount, of
Stewart county, for the s ime length of thiu»,
who. in his.bold, instructive, and feeling
manner, produced a decided impression
upon Ips fearers. Ni xt came Mr. Mat.
Davis, who was recently ousted from his
seat in the House ot Representatives n: a
member from Clarke, on account of col'r.
Mat. made the fur fly, as ho <an do and
always does. Major J. J. Knox, in a lew
brief remarks, dismissed the crowd, an
nouncing “that that old eray-hcarded sinner
above all men,’' Dr. F. J. Robinson, of
Lexington, would endeavor to speak to the.
Grant Club at the Club Room, after tea.
The crowd dispersed quietly and peacea
bly. There was not even a dog fight in the
town the whole day, or at night, to disturb
the peace and quiotne s that prevailed. We
were pleased at this—we were pleased at
the kindness exhibited by the citizens of
Athens, and by a resolution, passed b , the
Club that night,the County and City I (ffieials
ami the citizens very properly received a
vote of thanks. I his is refreshing to us
thirsty souls who di sire and hope an 1 pray
for Grant's election, that we may say truth
fully and with feclin.;—“Let us bavi I’eac
We went, after 4ea, to the Grant Club
room: a full attendance was present. Dr.
R was on hand, and for one-hour a id a
bait entertained the audience in his usual
hard-fisted style. Dr. Blount followed him.
Mr. Davis made an explanatory ddress of
great power, and, as usual, -Major Knox
was called on to wind up the services. All
separated peacefully and quietly, not a
thing that wc have heard es produced ajar
upon the serene atmosphere that environed
the white > r black, in Athens
on-that day. So may it ever be with those
■ who believe in the stars and stripes—that
old flag of the Union.
Before General" Grant made a distinct
avowal of his political sentiments, tuc Demo
cratic papers spoke of him as follows :
BEFORE.
A great soldier.
• An example of magnanimity.
A great captain.
The stull' of which stat, sin. n are made.
A leader id rare endowments. ■
1 he man whose valor saved the country.
The' conqueror of die rebeiliom
i he hero of many vietpries.
. Fhfe saviour ot our institutions.
AFTER
he had oolne out Republican, they talked
about him thus : ,
D< übttul in his, policy.
JVeli enough but for his associations.
A prospective tool of the Radical*
A General whose victories were too costly
to be valuable.
The lucky man to whom Lee surrendered,
when h ■ oughf to have surrendered to Lee.
The military blunderer. .
The butcher of the national army.
The brainless taimer, whur-mir I •

A man why tucdiessl, sacrificed 100.000
lives iu bis Pctojpac campaign.
Notoriously a disreg.ntler pt ’the truth.*'

A poor tool in Radical hands.
Confirmed drunkard. Liar. Sot. Fool, j
Pomeroy says there were three men in
New \ork wl>- ‘‘stool bi the Democrats of
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana, and en
couraged‘them on.’’ Three out of all the
Democrat.- ol that great and rich and very
Denn • ratio city! Call you that backing
your friends?
From the St. Louis ( iloo Democrat.
A PLAIN TALK.
Confederate soldiers, and you who hon
estly sympathized with the “lost cause 1” hear
us fur a uiomgnt.
You were cheated by the Northern Demo
crats into a rebellion. They promised aid
which they never gave. They predicted a
success which never came.
You were cheated by again and
again, into renewed efforts to prolong lice
war, even after your own judgment told you
that it was impossible long to resist the
power of the nation. 'They [ remised jtmiti
cal reactfons and victories, and you fought
on with a perseverance which shpuid bring
the blush of shame to their cheeks, and the
chill of remorse tn their hearts, for wasting
the liven of men so bravo.
» You were cheated again into resistance to
the policy of reoonslruotiou by amendment
of the. Constitution. Democrats pledged
themselves to sustain the President's policy.
You met at Philmlelplii.:, ui arm-in-ann con
vention, and shed many tear/, while the
country laughed at the farce ol Democrats
pretending to represent the North. You re
jected the constitutional amendment, and, to
your dismay, the country again buried De
mocracy under overwhelming majorities.
Thus two years of time were wasted, which
ivOuM have done much toward restoring the
South, and the [ e/ple of the North were
cor>vin»ed that i/> lovul reconstruction was
possible but by in iro - uffrage.
Once more you have been Cheated. North
ern Democrats told you that they would
Garry tl/e North in opposition to the measures
of reconstruction, and Chat Biair's revolu
tionary letter , would be sustained. You
went Dome, publicly recording your belief
that the people of the North were ripe.for
revolution. What do you think of it now ?
Your mistake has been in trusting those
who have, politically, damried themselves
ut the North, and supposing that they could
speak fyr the Northern people. You have
learneff from bitter experience that their
pledges are worthless. You are learning
now that they are equally untruthful in fact*
or predictions. You have found them faith
less friends ; you now find them powerless
allies and worthless prophets. Their aid is
a curse ; their predictions a delusion and a
snare. And yet they will beg you to trust
them still longer !
Infinitely better would it have been for
the Southern people, infinitely better for
you, especiilly, if you had ceased to rely
upon them when they first proved faithless.
If, after the war, you had followed the
sagacious and truthful advice of General
Grant, who said to Governor Orr, of South
Carolina:
“Have nothing whatever to do with the
Northerners who opposed the war. They
will never again be entrusted with power.
The more you consort with them, the more
exacting the Republicans will be and ought
to be.”
Or if, having tried oucc more their ability
to aid you in 1866, you had then turned for
advise -to those who truly represent the
Northern people, you would undoubtedly
have been spared great loss, great suffering,
great humiliation and great delay and waste
of precious time. You may as well face
the fact at once, that the people of the
North are firmly resolved never again to
trust poiver to thpse Northern Copperheads.
Treacherous to you, they have also been
trendherotts to. their country. Incompetent
to serve’you as friends, they are yet more
incompetent to serve or represent an age
and a civilization of which they know
nothing. They are political Bourbons,
stupid beyond conception, blind to all the
I the tendencies and influences of the ago,
and capable only of a pig-headed, obstinate,
ill-tempered, malignant and mean antag
oni:m to everything -that they have riot
brought-to pass. Like an old hound, bay
ing nt the moon all the night long asTt
sweeps onward in its majestic path, these
Copperheads can only bark at the tenden
cies of modern civilization, and curse the
source of all the light that they enjoy. No
doubt some of you are as obstinate as thilv,
and as incupable.oi seeing khat the rebellion
was beaten, not by a party nor by a section,
but by that glorious progressive civilization
of which free labor is a symptom. Rut
there are abler and younger men among
you who can see it,"ami ■.■.];;> ought, to know
better than to was c your strength in fight
ingsigainst the inevitable..
Be cheated i. <i my -r! These Democrats
have befouled you foiqc enough. Often enough
have they cursed the Southern people with
their final friendship. Abjure their false,
alliance; turn a deaf car to then - worthless
counsels; come ou' like ’men lor the better

Carolina? Its b ader of SatiirdayTnori/ing,
entitled “The Middle, Path,” leads, urn to
in ye it will; for I le .ir ■to say something to
the white people of the State, which I can
not well cotumuuicate except through a
Dem- raiie paper. Mr. Adams, as a Demo
crat, is listened to, when Republicans occu
pying esse: fiaUy the sani ■ position would not
bo. Also.-.- me to premise that lam a Caru
litnan by birth, ami yield, to none in my
devotion t» the ?eacc, prosperity and happi
ness of the p- ■> ih State. It is true, I
have iliilcreil r. W'th many as tn (he be«l
means' oi ntta - 3 - ibis peace and prosp city.
But 1 am wiffoig, at nil times, to submit tny
views io the Lst < i fair argument, and a
r.-asoanWe oppniK- il ought to be willing to
do the sjme, without either impugning the
. r.otivcs of the othw.’
Bat my object is not now to . o over old
ground. 1 wish to sp.ak of w’liat must now
I-' manifest to all, viz; that Genera! Grant
■ be next- President o the United States
i'll:- lias been manif ”1 tb Ifenublicaps since
li.e Democrat’s mad .■ their nominations and
pUtlorm i:. July, and since we have hoiirl
’lie utterances ol several of the Southern
leaders. But.sim, the elections on Tu s.lay,
1 pre.->i i.o nil intelligent men. Republicans
a. i. i' inoerats. will admit that the election
•of Gr int is a lorconm conclusion. 1 hive
recently had line opp rtuniti, s of seeing how
the public sentiment is drifting al th North,
and J feel confideut the Democrats will not
carry a single origins, free State for Seymour.
M liy is the‘North <o strongly in favor ot
Geir. Grant, .and what course is he likely to
pursue? No one has more aptly, or as I
think, more correctly explained tiro reas-.n
vi the unanimity fin tirant than Mr. AJaihs,
in his recent letter and speech in Columbia.
In his letter he says : “distrust and fear
have dictated your terms more than malice
or revenge?' He thinks that the defeat of
the Democratic party will result from the
tear that ■“its success would jeopardize the
substantial results of the war or surrender
its acquisitions?' I am well acquainted
with many of the leading men of the Re
pufdiean ’ party, and beliete I understand
the principles of the party well, and 1 feel
confident that nine-tenths of the Republican .
members of Congress would fully endorse
the main points in Mr. Adams' speech and
letter. There is no spirit of malice or
revenge actuating the great mass of the
Republican party. There is no desire to
see men without character, whether North
ern or Southern born, governing the people
of the South. Nor is there any desire to
see ignorance and incompetence occupying
high places and legislating for the country.
Rut there is a determination to secure all
the substmUial results of the war, to pre
serve the credit of the government, to de
cure the equality pf all classes in the eyes
of the law, and to see to it that the freedmen
have equ d and impartial justice done them
all over the South. Above all things, there
i.; a fixed determination to establish ft-ecj
dom of opinion and freedom of speech, and
to sqpprcss the lawlessness and violence
now existing all over the South. It is felt
that General Grant is the man, before all
others, to do this work. #
But in General Grant the law-abiding
white men of the South will not find an
enemy. Nothing in his course has indibated
that he would act the partisan in the execu
tion of the laws. His course during the
war was always that pf a generous foe, and
since the war clojsed he has at all times
shown the greatest desire to restore the
Union as early as possible, and on the basis
of law and justice, Even Governor Perry
would scarcely be able to point to a -ingle
act of Genera! Grant indicating a disposi
tion to tramp's upon the laws ai>l assume
dictatqrial powers. Those who believe that
General Grant will be a tool of ultra men,
or indeed of anybody, know but little of the
character of the man. In him the North
believes we will have a President firm but
just, and who will obey the Constitution and
laws himself, and enforce obedience from
others, of whatever party, and who will en
force the honest and economical administra
tion of the government. Cannot honest, pa
triotic, law-abiding and law-loving men ol
the South, of both parties, respect such a
man ? It is my hope and belief that wiltim
a few months after General Grant’s inaugu
ration he will be a popular man with all
friends of law gnd order at the South.
Now, the suggestion that I wish specially
to make, and to urge upon your attention,
is that the Press and leaders of the Demo
cratic party modify their tone somewhat;
that instead of violent abuse of the opposi
tion, calculated to excite the passions of
demoralized, lawless men, that every effort
be made to restrain such men; that all acts
of violence be discountenanced and dis
couraged, and that evil disposed persons be
reminded of the harm they tire doing the
country; and especially their own party. I
am confident the Republican leaders will
readily agree with the Demo, ruts to do all
in their power to prevent violence, and to
urge moderation at all times and places.
With such an arrangement between the
parties, I doubt not we could prevent, to a
great extent the lawlessness and bloodshed
that is disgracing every part of the South
We do not ask, and do not desire, your party
to desist from any proper means of carrying
the election in South Carolina. We intend
to use all fair and legitimate means of
carrying the election in South Carolina,
and wo are certainly willing for you to do
the same. But we do ask, and we believe
the request to be a reasonable one, that you
unite your efforts with ours to prevent
violence. I' know that many prominent
men in the Democratic party in this city
wojdd .readily sauction such a course, be
lieving that it would result in very great
good to the country, and to the credit of
their party. It would tend not only to
bring about a more friendly feeling between
the parties and the two races at the South,
how entirely too bitter for the welfare ol
either, but it would create at the North a
feeling of greater confidence in the gobd in
tentions of the white people of the South
that would be most beneficial.
I hope you will consent to publish this
communication, and yourself to advocate
the suggestions made.
■ Very respectfully,
B. 0. Duncan.
