The National Republican party of the United .States, assembled in National Convention, in thu city of Chi cago, on the 20th day of May, 1868, make the following Declaration of Principles : Ist. We congratulate the country on the assured sue 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 bo maintained, while the question of suffrage hi al! 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 tho laws under which it was contracted. 4th. 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, contracted, as it has been, lor the preservation of the Union for alb time to come, should be extended over 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. 6th. That the best policy to diminish our burden of debt is to so improve our credit that capitalists will seek to loan ns 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 Lthcoln, and regret the accession of Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, who has acted treacherously to tho people who elected him and the cauße he was pledged to support ; has usurped high legislative and indicia! 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 his executive powers to render insecure the property, peace, liberty and life of the citizen; has abused the pardoning power; has denounced tho National Legisla ture 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 impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, ami properly pronounced guilty thereof by the vote of thirty-five Senators. 9th. 'Hie 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 are enti tled to be protected in all their rights of citizenship as though they were natural bom, and no citizen of the United States, native Or naturalized, must be liable to arrest and imprisonment, by any .foreign power, for acts done, or words spoken, iu this country, and if so arrested and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government to interfere in his behalf. 10th. Os al! 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, ami imperilled their lives In the service of the country. The bounties and pensions provided by law for these brave defenden* of the nation are obliagtions never to be forgotten. The widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wants of the people, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation’s protecting care. 11th. Foreign iunuigration, 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. 19th. This Convention declares its sympathy with nil the oppressed people which arc struggling for their rights. SEND US HIE NEWS. Our friends in all the county towns of the State will oblige us by sending us,.at as ittrlya day as possible, after the election, the vote in their respective counties. Don't I'OJtGET THIS. • ‘‘Swinging Rovmi"the CfitiLt:.”—Sev- Mocit is now busily engaged "swinging round the circle.” I’he New York World is joyful, and Ashy Johxsox is in eostieies. The red hot Democrats say that the World really desires Seymour’s defeat, and, as for Axnr, he is laughing to see the Demo? cratic candidate committing a like blunder with himself in 1860. He then “swung round the circle,” and lost thousands of votes by it As “misery loves company,’’ so Johnson is glad to have Seymour ‘swing round.” Mistaken- tw ash Mistaken New.— In 1861 Horatio Seymour told the people that the war lor the Suppression wi the re bellion was a failure- But the people responded : “No, the war is and shall he a success,” and they rejected, Mr. Seymour’s candidate lor the Presidency. Now, Mr. Seymour, in the same strain cries out, Rc constructiuh is a failure. But the people responded : "No, Reconstruction is mil shall be a success; we have willed it, “mid Gen. Grant says, “the will of the people > the law of the land,” and they will n(l< reject Mr. Seymour for the Presidency. NO REGISTRA TICK REQUIRED lo )R PRESIDE NITAh ELECTION. No one is required to register hi order to vote for President and Vice President. All qualified voters, whether thee are registered or not under the Militate Bills are entitled to vote in the election, next Tuesday. ENEMIES TO THE STATE. Georgia has no greater enemies than some of the editors of Democratic news papers within her limits. Their course in relation to the visit of Gov. Bullock to the North should cause them to beheld in execration by every upholder of the honor and integrity of the Empire State of the South, Why did the Governor visit the North ? Not in the interest of the Repub lican party, for he would render infinitely greater service to that party in the State than he can out of it. Not to accomplish any private ends of his own. His greatest enemy has not made this charge against him. No! He did not go for any parlizan or selfish purpose; but it is a fact, noto rious throughout the State, that he went on business in which the credit and honor of Georgia was and is involved. After the Legislature at Atlanta became Democratic, to meet certain liabilities of the State, and without any solicitation on his part, they authorized the Governor, on behalf of the State, to contract for the loan of a certain sum of money. Had not this loan been absolutely necessary, would the Democratic Legislature have authorized it ? What Democratic editor will cast the first stone nt the Democratic Legislature? To carry out the expressed wishes oi the Legislators, the Governor went North, and now the Democratic editors in Georgia arc crying down the credit ot the State. Their conduct does not injure Governor Bullock. It does not injure the Republi can party, as a party. But it is ruinous to Georgia. We call on the people to rebuke such infamous conduct. The men who in dulge in such warfare are enemies to the titate, and public opinion should so brand them. There can be no apology or excuse for them. It is notoriously unpatriotic, and if it could succeed, the credit oi Georgia would be blasted forever, and the State little better than Confederate bonds. But they will not succeed. We have a man at the head of affairs who will never permit the honor of the State to be tar nished. That man is Rufus B. Bullock. Peace in Auousta.—There need be no fears that there will be any public disturb ance in this city on Tuesday next. Mayor Blodgett has an ample force, the Sheriff of the county will have an effective posse, and last, and more potent than all, a com pany of United States troops are here to quell any riotous proceedings. There will be no fuss, and there can be no excuse for any one remaining away from the polls. Let us give an increase on Gov. Bullock’s ■ majority. We can do so, if wc try. Ought to Feel Chuai*.-—We wonder if those Republicans in the Georgia Legisla ture who connived at the violation of the Fourteenth Amendment by the retention of over forty ineligible members, will not feel cheap when they read Gov. Bullock’s truthful and manly denunciation of such conduct. ♦- No Right.—No person has a right to say that Governor Buli.oCK will throw out the election returns from any portion of the State, or that he will not do so. Those who may speak as if advised on the subject, are guilty of their usual presumption. In case of fraud and violence on Tucaday next, as there is certain to be in some localities, the facts will all bo duly laid liefore Con gress by the’Chief Magistrate of the State. Who Cakes?—The Agetit. of the Asso ciated Press sends over the wires many unimportant and silly matters. For instance, our readers were regaled, day before yes terday, nt our involuntary expense, with the sui stance of a cald published by John Forsyth, correcting an alleged misrepre sentation of the New York Times. This was a matter of no iniportuiice to the genera' public. Nobody cares anything about the opinions of John Forsyth, especially on the Presidential question. Wiiat Say Yt:?—Do the editors of' the Constitutionalist and Chroniele tentinel approve the scandalous treatment of Ron. Amos T. Akeh.man at Lincoln Court? Speak out. The people have a right to know. Written Si'ekcues.—The Ku-Klux editor affects to sneer nt Governor Bullock be cause he had the good sense to commit to paper his recent excellent speech, in New York, before its delivery. Frank Blair diil the same thing at Indianapolis, Indiana, a few weeks since. If it is right for the Democratic candidate for the Vice-Presi dency to read his speeches from the stand, certainly it is not wrong for the Governor of Georgia to du so too. WATCH THEM. It is intimated that the Democrats have villainously Hooded the State with tickets bearing Grant and Colfax at the head, but containing all the names of the Demo, cratic candidates for electors. Beware of these tickets. Every one of them that is voted counts for Seymour and Blair. If you cut your ticket out of the Republican you are sure to l»c right. *■ I ■■ ■' >■ ——— The Way to Southern Prosperity.— The election of Grant will be followed by a tide ot immigration to the Southern States. New comers will be assured of peace and security. They will start new branches of busineeh. They will help to develop our mineral resources. They will invest tuonrv so as to make money more remunerative. They will want to buy farms and home steads, and land being in demand will be coruu worth twice as much as it is at present. Is it xiot the interest of every Southern man to vot* lor those candidates whose election will advance the best iiiterc ts < !'dm v. ; h. Southern country? - ♦ Only Six Months-—Remember that six month's residence in the State, and thirty days in the county, authorizes you to vote for President, on Tuesday next. No manager of an election dare make you take any of the oaths in the code about your having lived in the State two years. We advise Republicans to watch Democratic managers, and confront them with the new Oonstitation, if any tricks are attempted. We have only One Dav to vote for President. Oommuniratione. UTILE EPISODES. Mr. Editor: Hon. Benjamin 11. Hill (that’s his title) prates about his having risked life to dissuade the people from secession. Ben was at the head of th* co-operation party, and tho repeated decla ration was : “ Don’t secede alone—wait for Virginia and the sister States ; let us go out in a body!” Now Benj’ie is trying to sow discord in families, by persuading wives to leave their husbands, who have the manhood to face persecution, ostracism and blackguards, in order to rescue loved ones from the woe* which Benjie's counsels, if heeded, are sure to bring. Grant and Colfax are the men, under whose administration all will be well. Rally to their support, and the thought of having done so will cheer you when totter ing on the verge of the grave. Man is the noblest work of God. Ho is thrice noble when ho fearlessly discharges hi* duty. We have had enough of war, enough of suffering, enough of crimination, enough of idleness. Come and vote for Grant and Colfax, and we shall have a flood-tide of peace, an abundance of good things, a great deal more of the milk of human kindness, and profitable employment for each and every man. S. W. BACKSLIDING. Mr. Editor:—l hopes you will not get riley at my often intrndin on your sanebo sanchorutn, and byway of apologee, 1 has to tell you dat I'm gittiu away on de slide from the Diinockracie, and, according to natur, seeks konsilation and wholesom advice in do society of such buckras as are of de jin nywine white folks.

Dese is what we calls de Club Rooms. “Shout! broder, shout!” is played out in de churches eber since wo kotched one of de white brodren trying to humbug de Pope of Rome. Sambo. —-♦♦♦• Remember. —Let white and colored Re publicans remember that no Democratic paper in the State has ever denounced the murder of any Republican by the Demo crats. No One Disfranchised.—lt should be borne in mind that no one is prevented from voting for President by reason of any dis franchisement under the Reconstruction laws. Let every white and colored man in the State be sure to attend the election’ urge a friend to go along with you, and cast your votes for Grant and Colfax. Let us have Peace ! ■ - ♦ -• • WHAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE DOING. Establishing the free schools, building Christian churches, paying the national debt, giving justice to the poor, making laws for the people, sustaining the State and National Government, and carrying every Northern and most of the Southern States for Grant and Colfax. WHAT THE KU KLUX ARE DOING. Let the Camilla massacre, the murdered negroes, the midnight assassinations, the threats of war, anarchy and ruin, which thicken the air with cries of terror and dentil, send back the answer. TO FOREIGNERS. Every male person who has declared his intention to become a citizen—who lias been six months resident in the State, and thirty days in the county, and who has paid all legal taxes which have been required of him, and which he has had an opportunity of paying, is entitled to vote for President nt the ensuing election. Remember this, foreigners ! Go to the Clerk of the Superior Court, “ declare your intentions,” and then, on Tuesday next, cast your first vole fur Grant and Coi.fax. Let us have Peace 1 —.— » ♦ •- GRANT AND PEACE. From a very able article in a recent num ber ot the New York times, in answer to the query of the World : “ How is Grant going to give us peace ?” w-a copy the closing paragraphs, as follows ; The whole country - North and South’ East ami West—Republicans and Demo crats, will feel that in Grant we have for President a patriot and not a politician— a man under no such obligalious and with no such relations to any pat ty as will constrain him to do so at jts bidding, and for its inter est, what ho docs not regard as conducive to the public good—a man of clear judgment, practical force and energy of character, and devoid of all ambition but that of pro moting the peace mid of advancing the power and prosperity of his country. He will be tb»' loo! of no faction or party. His hold upon the confidence and faith of the people will protect and defend him against subservience to any clique or undue depend ence Upon any faction. And this will be another of the influences which will give Grant the power to “give ns peace." We trust wc have answered the World’s queries, respectfully if not satisfactorily. We do not believe that journal doubts the substantial justice of this view of tho ease. We do not believe tho World itself thinks that the public confidence in the future would bo greater in case of Seymour's election than in case of Grant’s. Seymour is the favorite, the “idol," the World styles him, of a political party. Outside of that party he commands no confidence. His acts would be regarded us in the interest of his party, and his feeling, whether just or unjust, would impair public confidence in him and thus deprive him of the power to give the country peace. Grant is not a party man, Dora politician in any sense of the word. He commands at this moment the confidence of a very large part of the Democratic pirty to a greater degree than does <lovornor Seymour himself. His elec tion r. sfM-es harmony and unity of action ' to the two great departments of the Na tional Government, and thus ends what has be -n for tlie last three years a potent ele ment of public disturbance and strife. And before the four years of his first term shall have expired, the whole country will have reason to rejoice in the restoration of “ Peace and its sequence Prosperity.” Be Svßh.—Be sure that the names of the Electoral candidates are on the Ticket when you vote lor Grant and Colfax. Cut out the Ticket at the head of our Editorial < olurm s—and you will m.ik- sure of it. jissr R> im miter, that it the names of j Grant aud Colfax are at the head of the ticket, aud the Democratic Electors are on the ticket, it is a vote lor Seyrour ani> Blair. GRANT AND PEACE. “Let there bo peace,” the warrior said : And swift as light the word has sped By North and South and East and West, Calming the nation’s troubled breast, Inspiring hopes that still increase. Tho watchword grows: ‘tis “Grant and Feaoo!” Peace, nurse of industry ; Peace over land and over sea ; Peace to tho shop, the farm, the mart; Peace to the mother’s blooding heart, Called on no more for sons to die In distant fields for liberty. Peace to the eager, active North, To aid her enterprise and worth ; Peace to the battle wearied South— Peace in the spirit, not the month— To heal her wounds, to euro her grief, And give her fainting sent relief. Peace unto a'l that toil and strive To hoard the honey in their hive ; Peace, to give Union, perfect, pure, Through ages stainless to enduro ; Os power to bid all discords cease, And commerce, trade and wealth increase; Such is the spell of “Grant for Peace!” Gkobge Vandenhoff. New York, October, 1868. TEXAS ITEMS. Tho Jefferson Times, of the 15th, says cotton is arriving in that port at the rate of one hundred bales per day, • imparting a new and lively activity to the mereanlile trade. The Harrison county Flag of the 15th has favorable reports from every portion of eastern Texas in regard to the yield of cot ton. It will be much heavier than was first anticipated. The Dallas Herald estimates the crop of cotton in that county this year at three thousand bales. Whereupon the Rusk <ob server says Cherokee will beat those figures at least one thousand. The Inquirer, of Gonzales, says that Mr. E. Lewis, of that city, last winter grafted a Delaware grape cutting upon a mustang vine, and the graft has borne two crops this year. It is a matter of surprise that our people do not pay more attention to grafting the better varieties of grapes to our native vines, and thus improve both. The Bastrop Advertiser says that the y ield of cotton in that county will be much larger than was expected. A Mr. J. P. Nixon has raised twu hun dred and fifty bushels of sweet potatoes to the acre on Galveston Island. General Speight informs us that the crop of cotton on his plantation is turning out re markably well. He says that the trouble is, that it is all open at once, and that it is liable to destruction should a storm of any kind visit us. The general says his planta tion of six or seven hundred acres will turn out over a bale to the acre.— IFaco Register. The Tyler Reporter of the 7th reports the migration over that country of at least 10,000 hawks. They were Hying from north east to southwest. Woe to ehickcndoin where they establish themselves. A letter from Bastrop, Texas, says gold and silver constitute the currency there, greenbacks being entirely ignored. Bastrop doesn’t care a sentimental who is elected President. BEAR IN MIND, That it is the voter’s right to have an opportunity of voting for Presidential Electors on Tuesday next. Hence the ’ necessity for additional boxes at every 1 county scat, as ordered by the Governor. If the Governor had not so ordered, it would nevertheless have been the duty of the managers of the election to have pro vided means for all to vote. So sure as all the voters that desire are i not allowed to vote, by election managers obeying the "Governor East of the Oconee" instead of the Governor of Hie State, just so sure will the vote of Georgia be thrown 1 out by Congress. - ’ If you put the names of Grant and I Colfax iu the ballot-box, without the names ’ of the Electors, it will not be counted. POLITICA L ITEMS. E. Z C. Judson (Ned Buntline,) writes from California that that State will give ■ General Grant 10,000 majority. , The Boston Post remarks that “the Demo crats enjoy one advantage from the recent election returns —it uosts them nothing for powder.” Frank Blair and Wade Hampton seem to have formed a partnership in the Jonah business, much to the injury and discomfort ’ of the Dotnoctaf'c ’.’hale. Ever since the r New York Convi iniou the unfortunate ani- ■ mtil lias been endeavoring to swallow them and their doctrines, but the dose is too nasty, and they are vomited up. This pro- ' cess, as seen by the recent elections, has resulted in great general debility to the whale. To remedy this, $>40,000 .worth of “Buchu” have been ordered, but it is feared that it is now too late, as the vital forces are too much weakened. A Quincy (Ill.) correspondent of the Chi cago Tribune, writing of Mr. Adolph Moses’ advocacy of Grant, says; ‘ Our Hebrew citizens will ni*iuly all of them vote for Grant and Colfax. All doubts that may heretofore have been entertained with regard to them arc now removed, for Mr. Moses wields a powerful influence. The -lews here know that they can rely upon him as a leader, ant) that gentleman, after a thorough investigation, is convinced that General Grant is not the enemy of his people. You don't have to pay taxes before you vote for Presidential Electors. The Test.—No man can claim to be a Republican who fails to vote for Grant on Tuesday. Official.
