The Weekly Democrat. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 81, 1872. THE LIBERAL PLATFORM. The following are the resolutions in full m adopted by the Liberal Republican National Convention at Cincinnati, in May, and en dorsed by the Democratic Convention at Bal timore, in Jnly. We, the Liberal Republicans of the United States, in National Convention assembled at Cincinnati, proclaimed the following princi ples as essential to a just government: First—We recognise the equality of all men before the law, and hold that it is the duty of the government, in its dealings with the people, to mete out equal and exact justice to all; of whatever nativity, race, color, per suasion, religious or political. Second—We pledge ourselves to maintain the union of these States, emancipation and enfranchisement, and to oppose any reopen ing of the questions settled by the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the Constitution. Third—We demand the immediate and ab solute removal of all disabilities imposed on account of the rebellion, which was finally subdued seven years ago, believing that uni versal amnesty will result in the complete pacification of all sections of the country. Fourth—Loccl self-government, with im partial suffrage, will guard the rights of all citizens more securely than any centralized power. The public welfare requires the su premacy of the civil over the military author ity, and the freedom of persons under the protection of the habeas corpus. We demand for the individual the largest liberty consist ent with public order for the State’s self- government, and for the nation to return to the methods of peace and the constitutional limitations of power. Fifth—The civil service of the government has become a mere instrument of partisan tyranny and personal ambition, and an object of selfish greed. It is a scandal and reproach upon our free institutions, and breeds a de moralization dangerous to the perpetuity of republican government. We therefore regard a thorough reform of the civil service as one of the most pressing necessities of the hour; that honesty, capacity and fidelity constitute the only valid claims to public employment; that the offices of the government cease to be a matter of arbitrary favoritism and patron age, and that public stations become again posts of honor. To this end it is imperatively required that no President shall be a candi date for re-election. Sixth—We demand a system of federal tax ation which shall not unnecessarily interfere with the industry of the people, and which shall provide means necessary to pay the xe- penses of the government, economically ad ministered, pensions, the interest on t he pub lic debt, nnd a moderate reduction, annually, of the principal thereof, nnd recognizing that there are in our midst honest, but irreconcil- iable differences of opinion with regard to the respective systems of protection nnd free trade, we remit discussion of the subject to tli® people in their congressional districts, anil to the decision of Congress thereon wholly free of executive interference or dic tation. Seventh—The public credit must be sacred ly maintained, and we denounce repudiation in every form and guise. Eighth—A speedy return to specie payments is demanded alike by the highest considera tions of commercial morality and honest gov ernment. Ninth—ll’e remember with gratitude the heroism and sacrifices of the soldiers and the snilors of the republic, and no net of ours shall ever detract from their justly earned fame or of the full reward oi their patriotism. Tenth—We areopposeil to all further grants of lands to railroads or other corporations. The public domain should be held sacred to actual settlers. Eleventh—Wehold that it is the duty of the government, in its intercourse with foreign nations, to cultivate the friendship of peace by treating with all on fair nnd equal term regarding it alike dishonorable cither to de mand what is not right or to submit to what is wrong. Twelfth—For the promotion and success of these vital principles, and the support of the candidates nominated by this convention, we invito and cordially welcome the co-operation of all patriotic citizens, without regard to previous political affiliation.
