RBPI'HLICAN PI.ATFOKM.
The National Republican party of the United States,
assembled in National Convention, in the city of Chi
cago, on the 20ih day of May, 186 h, 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 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 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 redneed as rapidly as the na
tional faith will permit.
Gtb. The national debt, contracted, as it has been, for
the preservation of the Union for all time to come,
should be extended 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.
<Jtli. That the bast 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 radical re
form.
Bth. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic
death of Abraham Lincoln, aud 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 bis high ofllce to induce other
officers to ignore and violate the laws; has employed
his executive powers to render insecure the property,
puace, liberty and life of the citizen; has abused the
pardoning power; has denounced the National l.eglsla
lure 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
ini]»eached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and
properly pronounced guilty thereof by the vote of
thirty-five Senators.
Oth. The doctrine of Great Britain and other Eucopeao
powers, that beenuse a man ia 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. NaturuNted citizens are enti
tled to be protected tn all their rights of citizenship as
though they were natural born, and no citizen or the
United Stales, native or naturalized, must be liablo to
arrest and imprisonment, by any foreign power, for acts
done, or words spoken, in this country, and If so arrested
and imprisoned, it js 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 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 aro -obliagtions never ter bo forgotten. The
widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards us
the people, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation’s
protecting care.
Hth. 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 (kmvention declares its sympathy with all
the oppressed people which are struggling for their
rig

■The editor of the Ku-Klnu organ in this

PARTY RANCOR—FAULTS AND
DUTIES OF THE PRESS.
Mr. Editor: It is a muttcrof amazement to
a mere spectator, to notice the great impor
tance attached to party newspapers. Their
supporters and conductors assume a hauteur
of deportment, and a consequence a little in
ferior to that of the real pillars of the State
or Nation. They not unfrequently boat/, (as
your party-friends of the Atlanta Era re
cently, Mr. Editor 1) of the great aid their
party has derived from the illiberal abuse
so lavishly bestowed upon their opponents-
During the recent contest for Governor in
this State, and the present, one for Presi
dent, so disgraceful in their progress, and
so degrading to the best feelings of human
ity, party newspapers have accumulated
like frogs in Egypt—blackening every one
who happened to come in contact with
them. But, as it has often heretofore hap
pened, ns soon as the excitement of the
existing contest is over, and the turgid pool
of passion subsides and settles down to a
state of calmness, many of these will cease
to exist, and their conductors be forced to
cultivate other fields in which, let us hope,
there will be less of Prejudice and Hate,
and more of Goodwill and kindliness of
feeling.
Declamatory and inflammatory produc
tions have never yet done good to either
party —they have shed no light on their
cause, nor convinced any one of the error
of his opinion. True, a great deal of slang
wang is published on both sides, dirtying
and bedaubing each other most vilely, und
that is all the good, if it may be so called,
that is done by any of them.
It is frequently observed by some, “He
deserves well of his party —he has done
much for it.” Now. let me ask, what has
any of the class of whom I speak, done for
it? In my opinion nothing—except prosti
tuting his own talents, and dipping his pen
in gall, to sully the fame and wound the
feelings of a fellow mortal, without benefit
ting his own, except gratifying the most
diabolical passions of a depraved heart
He has brought no.one over to bis cause,
for very few read party papers but those of
their own way of thinking, and they are
already of the same creed; therefore,
nothing is added to their strength. They
may— do indeed amuse a few vulgar
minds, or the evil disposed, who, like flies,
pass over the sound part of a man and light
upon that which may be corrupt.
An honest and candid investigation into
the character, talents, integrity and capacity
of men, who are placed before the public for
high and responsible offices, is ever right
and commendable, and it is the inestimable
privilege of freemen to make such inquiries
and strictures as shall fairly lay their merits
before the people. Scrutiny into the con
duct of public men, or of those who would
feign to become such, is admonitory—it
serves to teach an important lesson—that
they should keep a faithful watch over their
actions, and circumscribe within due bounds
the most inordinate desires of the heart;
for, when they inay imagine themselves
veiled in the mantle of darkness, the public
eye, which never slumbers, is fixed intensely
on them. But, in so doing, let Truth, uner
ring Tflith, be their constant guide—let Pa
triotism, and zeal for the Public Good, be
the only incentives to action, untainted by
Rancor, or misguided by Prejudice. When
an ungenerous and disingenuous course of
conduct is adopted—when the parti-colored
shield is set up to bewilder the gazer on, the
intended effect is lost, and it recoils back
with accumulated force on the authors.
How much better for the State und for
the people of the State, if the opponents of
Governor Bullock would accord to him, as
the Chief Magistrate of the Commonwealth,
at least respectful mention and treatment.
I do not blame them fdr opposing his elec
tion in the first place, and using all fair and
honorable means to defeat it. They thought
him unfit, and it was their right—their
bounden duty—to oppose him. But., though
their opinions may have undergone no
change, to oppose him now does no good,
but only tends to exasperate a party, without
lienefitting any one. Our dear old State
has, of late years, been already too much
disgraced by wanfou attacks upon the char
acter and conduct of men in high official
positions. It is due to onr own dignity ns a
People, it is a debt we owe to Patriotism,
to bury Party feelings for the public good.
If we would be respectable abroad, or happy
at home, we must pursue this open, honora
ble and peaceful course. While an election
is pending, all have a right to exert their
influence in their own way; but, when it
has been decided, all factious and unavailing
opposition to the will ot the people should
immediately cease ; and all good citizens of
all parties determine, as well for their own
happiness as for the reputation of the State
abroad, to yield respectful treatment to the
elect, and Ire

LETTER FROM FULTON.
Mr. Editor : There are bad men in every
political organization—bad leading charac
ters in every party. With these men per
sonal and selfish motives guide them, they
lose sight of all else except the accomplish
thent of those ends which will secure to
them honor, distinction and pecuniary re
sults—the success of their respective parties.
It is not so much the principles of the party
themselves for which they work and advo
cate, except so far as the success of those
principles shall or is supposed to confer
upon them these favors. Such men as these
can well be spared from any country on earth,
their services go a long way toward blight
ing the happiness and retarding the pros
perity of the people of that unfortunate gov
ernment in which such characters live. Our
own country, this fair land of ours, I am
sorry to say is cursed with many of these.
But thanks to the God of the Universe,
there are those, and a large majority too,
who rise above these corrupt and wieked
purposes—men who are honest in all things,
who love their country, who want it to be at
peace and progressing, who love the citizens,
thereof, and want them to live under good
government prosperously ami happily. To
all such the nation is indebted for all of
good government it has enjoyed, .and all the
liberty and blessings her people have hud.
In the future it wilt be as ip the past. Let
the people rightly understand, and left free
to dictate a government, and it will be a
good one.
.Many men are honest, sincere in their be
lief, whatever that may be; many are una
ble to rid themselves of the prejudices which
encumber them. This is the condition of a
great many Democrats of to-day. They
want peace and quiet, and prosperous times
to return; they love the Union, and want
good government. Convince them such is
the object, and such will be the legitimate
result of the triumph of the Republican
party, and there will be hut few opponents
to it.
The war of '76 was fought aud won; her
“Great Captain” was placed at her head in
peace, as he had been in war. An era of
progress and prosperity was vouchsafed to
the American people. The party men who
bad controlled affairs for more than two
thirds of this period, whatever may have
been their merits, were now like King
David in Israel —holding the reins of gov
ernment with feeble hand. Another war
followed—the struggle of ’GI : that struggle
has ended; armed resistance to the Union
put down, and her “Great Captain” is before
lhe nation os a candidate for President. Is
it not fit and proper that he be elected ?
The United Stales, like the Kingdom of
Israel, has suffered, and still suffers, from
the depression und disorder which long years
of war produces every where; her people
want peace and order and prosperity. They
sue for it as did the Israelites under similar
circumstances, when King David’s rival
was his son, the silent, modest aud wise Sol
omon. Solomon ascended the throne amidst
chaos and confusion, but he was the “right
man in the right place,” and what his head
planned with wisdom bis hand executed with
vigor, till his government, admirably organ
ized in every department, resembled a vast
machine complete in its details, beautiful in
its construction, with its numerous wheels all
revolving in silent and perfect harmony.
Ont of chaos and confusion order was re
stored, and the people were made prosperous
and happy. Such was the case in that day
and time, and just such glorious results will
come from the occupancy by Generttl Grant
of the Presidential chair. Without any
breach of the laws of justice, or encroach
ment on the rights of the subject, he will
dexterously rid himself of every person dan
gerous to the government, thereby rendering
peace permanent, and establishing the Union
forever. Without him, then, his opponent
instead, the people of this country have no
thing good to hope for.
Can the people be so blinded to their in
terests, to the welfare of the nation, as to
place in power again that party which
brought ou the war, and still promises no
thing less? We will see. Let patriots
everywhere, who want peace instead of war—
who want freedom and liberty and good gov
ernment—attest the fact on November 3d
by voting for Grant and Colfax.

OCR WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Democracy Hopcleeely Demoralized— Their
only Hope the State of New York and not the
Election of Seymour—lnterest Money to be
Paid—The Sale Defalcation.
Washington, October 22, 1868.
The extent to which the so-called Demo
cratic party is demoralized is perhaps more
fully apparent at this point than elsewhere
throughout Ihe country. This being the
great political centre, let come what will,
success or defeat, it is the inecca for politi
c. us to seek congratulations or consolation
according to circumstances. Here politi
cians assemble from the different States,
compare notes, and discuss the prospects of
their respective parties for the future, and
confer with government officials, who are
supposed to know more than others of the
political status of individuals, their weak
and strong points, and, more than all, their
availability—-a strong point in estimating the
chances of success. One man is not
ble in a certain district because of his im
moral character; another for some fancied
or real political delinquency. These matters
are discussed in all their bearings, and as a
rule the fate of an aspirant for political
honors is in the hands of those managers;
Hence it is, more is known here of the de
moralized condition of our opponents to-day.
It was believed and admitted, by Democrats
in Washington political circles, as long ago
as last August, that they had no chance be
fore the people; that the New York Conven
tion of 18(18 had made a worse mistake
than was made in 1861. In the latter case
the platform was only really bad, but now
both candidates and the platform are offen
sive to every truly loyal man throughout the
country; and it only needed the October
elections to convince the rank and file
of the party what the leaders had
known belore. The plot to change front
was not broached to the public until
the subject had been thoroughly dis
cussed here, and it is believed President
Johnson has done more to demoralize the
late Democratic Organization than any other
man. He takes a fiendish delight in
seeing the party in hot, water. It pays
them off for ignoring his claims in the Con
vention, so he thinks; and he talks thus to
his intimates. The defeat on the 13th inst.
is not the only eause for demoralization—an
open rupture in the ranks of the party has
been made which can not be healed. Tire
backers of Seymour denounce Blair, and the
friends of Blair denounce in turn the organs
of Seymour. Conservative Democrats, ot
the Hancock, Chase and Eldridge school,
denounce both. the other divisions of the
rebel Democracy, so that between the trio of
elements there is no unity or good feeling
whatever. The World has gone so far in
its frenzy as to publish Mr. Motley's long
address, delivered in Boston a few days
since—the most powerful Republican argu
ment made during the campaign, contain
ing, as it doos, words of encouragement for
all, as well as political wisdom. The indi
cations now are that Seymour will not carry
more than three States. I observe you con
cede Oregon and Arkansas to Seymour.
The first named State is coneeded, here,
safe for Grant, and the latter State is equally
safe for him if a fair election can be had.
The recent Ku-Klax outrages are looked
upon as the dying struggles of Rebeldom,
and it is believed that this class ot Demo
crats will have expended their force
before November, and that the election
will pass oft' quietly. 'i he leaders of
the Republican party are quite as
leniently inclined towards the people
of the Southern Stales lately engaged in
rebellion us it is prudent for them to be. It
will be for ibat class to determine whether this
good feeling shall continue or not. The
dominant party is disposed to deal justly by
all, and if the heretofore disaffected people
of the South accept the situation in goed
faith, an era of good feeling will be nt once
inaugurated, and at an early day all disabili
ties will be removed. The Republican party
is not disposed to use the power placed in
their hands by the people in an arbitrary
manner. The incoming administration, while
executing the laws impartially, will at the
Same time tender the olive branch to the
disaffected. While there wdl be no yielding
of principle, a conciliatory course will be
adapted, ami the disappointed and dissatis
fied, when they find themselves powerless for
evil, will ex neecssila yield as gracefully as
it may be to the logic of events. The car of
progress is moving onward, and the sooner
tins tact is acquiesced in, the belter it will be
for all concerned. A glorious future is ia
store Jor the country, and, a few years h.'ttce,
men will ho amazed at their want of fore- j
right.
Under the belief that Grant will be at the
head of affairs for the next four years, thou
sands of Northern men are now making
preparations to move southward early next
Spring ; the demand for Southern land has
suddenly increased and prices are conse
quently firmer. I know of one lot of land
in North Carolina which was sold yesterday
for an advance of twenty per cent, more
than was asked before the late elections,
when no sale could be effected. These
emigrants go South to seek permanent homes
and carry with them all the attributes pe
culiar to the descendants of New England
—money, brains and muscle In whatever
community a few may locate they will
breathe into it new life and vigor; they will
teach, by precept and example, the trne
way to greatness; schools and churches will
flourish under their fostering care, and a
new order of things for the South will come
to pass. The same influence will turn the
tide of foreign itninigation Southward to a
more kindly soil and a more congenial
climate than the great West affords, until
the “Southerner” of to-day will become
merged or so different as not to form a dis
tinctive class, when enlarged ideas will pre
vail, and, instead of State, National pride
will be developed and occupy the first place
in the thoughts of all citizens.
Seymour has at last been smoked out, and
has taken the stump—another appalling in
dication of the weakness of the cause he
advocates. New York is all the Northern
Democracy hope to save now. the patronage
of that State being next in importance to
that of the General Government.
A large clerical force has been dismissed
within the last few days, but, strange to say,
a majority of those discharged were Demo
crats. Straws indicate the popular current.
Twenty-three million and seven hundred
thousand dollars in coin will be drawn from
the Treasury on the Ist of November, to pay
the semi annual interest on the Five-Twenty
Bonds. There is now $100,000,000 of coin
in the Treasury. The next payment of in
terest will be on January Ist, of $28,000,000,
to pay the semi-annual interest on the bonds
of 1881, at which period, with the estimated
receipts during the next two months, the
amount of coin will be about the same as
now.
The foreign ministers resident here agree
that the English Government acted legiti
mately in recognizing the rebels as bellig
erents, after Mr. Seward’s proclamation
blockading Southern ports.
Olmstead, the alleged defaulter, was liber
ated to-day on SIO,OOO bail. If there is a
case against him, it is not likely it will be
tried. He is in a low state from the effects
of opium-eating. Capital.
Butter be Satisfied.— The Southern
journals are beginning to take a sensible and
encouraging view of the results that will
follow the election of Gen. Grant. They
acquiesce in it, and are convinced that Grant
will make a firm, wise, and patriotic Presi
dent. They also advise their readers to pay
less attention to politics, and to go to work
in earnest in the fields of industry. Very
good advice indeed. If it should be taken
with energy, and pursued with discretion and
economy, the Southern people would soon
heal all the scars and make good all the
pecuniary losses of the war.—A’. T Suh.

Don’t Like the Flag. —The Wilmington
(N. C.) Star is enraged at the idea of an
American flag being erected over the City
Hall of that place, and calls upon the people
to put down a party that could be guilty of
such an outrage by voting for Seymour.
This is as good a reason as can be given
for voting the Democratic ticket.
