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.

Hear him: “ There is not within the entire Radical party a more infamous aud atrocious liar than ***»♦*, We dislike to use harsh epithets, but the course of this vile wretch during the present canvass, to say nothing of his previous shortCdnihigs, demands plain Jealiug, There is no falsehood so gross—no villainy so great—no crime so abhorrent that he would not commit, to secure the success of his party and put money in his own pocket. lie is the very incarnation yf al! that is mean, and vile, and infamous.

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 “ To his faults a little blind, And to his virtues very kind.” Whig of 1840-’4B. Augusta, October 26th, 1868. 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. ’Fulton. Atlanta, Ga., October 24, 1868. From our own Correspondent. 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. —•— Come out from among them. —There arc Borne good fellows in the Democratic party who have no business there. They will always be welcome to the Republican ranks. The present is a good time for them to swap horses. - ~ 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. I.VSIRAME.
