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.

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.

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 proclaim it then; since which lime lie has been “sintteilug round," until he went to Washington Citv, where, wo nr- ere libly. in formed, he rather winlol in favor of Grant, not yet. however, divulging his p Airy, which he told the Democrats he had. lie Inis been a policy man all of hi. \ life, and boxed every .-ide of the compass, and, should he live fifly yeai's, he will hold on Io his policy, and die with the seed of it in his breeches. Fii.tox 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. .

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.

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. SPECIAL NOTICES.
