THE LIBERAL PLATFORM.
r /he following urg tji<?
in fall adopted tiv iho Lint-raf Re
publican National Convention at
Cincinnati in May, arid endorsed by
the Democratic Convention hr Jnly:
We, the Lilieial Republicans of
the United States, in National Con
vention assembled at Cincinnati,
proclaim the following principles as
essential to a just •government :
First—VVe recognize the equali
ty of ail men before the law, and
bold that it is the duty of the gov
ernment, in its dealings with the
people, to mete out equal and.exact
justice to all; of whatever nativity,
race, color, persuasion, religious or
political.
Second —We pledge ourselves to
maintain the union of these States,
emancipation npd enfranchisement,
and to oppose any reopening of the
questions settled by the Thirteenth,
Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend
ments of the constitution.
Third—We 'demand' the imme
diate and absolute removal of all
disabilities imposed on account of
the rebellion, which Was finally
subdued seven years ago, believing
that universal amnesty will result
in the complete pacification of all
sections of the country.
Fourth—Local self-govei n merit,
with impartial suffrage, will guard
the rights of all citizens mure se
curely than any centralized power.
The public welfare requires the su
premacy of the civil over tl.e mili
tary authority, and the freedom of
persons under the protection o( the
habeas corpus. We demand for
the individual the largest liberty
consistent with pubfic order for. the
States; self government, and for
the nation a return to the methods
of peace and the constitutional limi
tations of power.
Fifth—Thq civil service of the
government has become a mere in
strument of partisan tyranny and
personal ambition, and an object .of
selfish greed. It is a scandal and 1
reproach upon our free institutions,
and breeds a demoralization dan
gerous todhe perpetuityjof republi
can 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
1 ebnstitute the only valid claims to
public employment ; that the officer
of the government cease to be a
matter arbitrary favoritism and
patronage, and?that public stations
become again posts of honor. To
this end it is imperatively required
that lio President shall lie a candid"
ate for re-election.
Sixth—Wo demand a system of
iocleval taxation which shall not
unnecessarily interfere with (he in
dustry of the people, and which
shall provide means .necessary to
pay the ■ expenses of the government,
economically administered', pen
sions, the interest on the public
* debt, and a moderate ’reduction, an
nually, of the principal thereof,
and recognizing that there are
in our midst honest, but irreconcil
able differences of opinion with re
gard to the respective systems of
protection and free trade,- we remit
d|seupsion of the subject to the peo
plodu thoir congressional districts,
■and to the decision of Congress
. thereon, wholly free of executive
interference or dictation.
Seventh —The publiq credit must
be sacredly maintained, and we de
nounce repudiation in every form
and guise.
Eighth—-A speedy return to spo-.
cie payrhents is demanded alike by
the highest considei ations of com
mercial morality and honest gov
ernment.
Ninth — We remember with grat
itude the heroism and sacrifice of
the soldiers and sailors of tire re
public, and no act of ours shall ever
detract from their justly earned
fame or the full reward of their pa
triotism.
Tenth —Wc are opposed to all
further grants of lands to railroads
•or other corporations. The public
domain should be held sacred to
actual settlers.
Eleventh —We hold that it is the r
duty of the government, in its in
tercourse with foreign nations, to
cultivate the friendship of peace by
treating with all on fair and equal
terms, regarding it alike dishonora
ble either to demand what is not
right or to submit to what is wrong.
Twelfth —For the promotion and .
success of these vital principles,
aud the support of the candidates
nominated by this convention, we
invite and cordially welcome the
co-operation of all patriotic citizens,
without regard to previous politi
cal affiliation.
Movace Greeky s s letter
of Atccjdaiice.
New York, July 23.— The fol
lowing is Mr. letter, ac
cepting the Baltimore nomination,
in reply to the letter of the com
mittee appointed to notify him
thereof:
New York, July 18, 1872.
Gentlemen; Upon mature de
liberation, it seems fit that I should
give to your letter of the lQtli in
stant sqtne further and fuller re
sponse than the hasty, unpremedi
tated words in which I acknowl
edged and accepted your nomina
tion at our meeting on the 12th
instant.
That your Convention saw fit to
accord its highest honor to one who
had been prominently and pointed
ly opposed to your party in the
earnest, and sometimes angry con
troversies of the last forty years, is
essentially noteworthy. That many
of yon Liberal Republicans, should
present answer candidate for Presi
dent, and would more rapidly have
united with us in the- support of
Adams or Trumbull, Davis or
. Brown, is.well known. I owe my
• *♦ adoption at Baltimore wholly to
fact that I had already been
dividual at Cincinnati, and Unit,
tives and' frte? c . e,ltratsoD of forCes ar^
with the follow 111 been proved imprncM- 1
salt: Greeley, 1
decided, 8. I am at your yoncur-jj
t-i^cinnati nojjjbnatiou/1
and m+mW
not. have concurred had von
not denmed me upright and capa
ble, 1 found m*thi:,.: to .the -hi r*’un
til* nee cak‘|lated to inflame vanity*]
01 nourish self-conceit. Rut that
your Convention saw fit to reaffirm
the Ofneinnati platform is to me a
source of the . jirofoundbst 'satisfac
tion. That body was constrained
to take this'step by flo party neces
sity, real or supposed. It might
have accepted the candidates of
the Liberal Republicans upon
grounds entirely its own, or it might
have presented them as the first!
Whig convention did Harrison and
Tyler, without adopting tidy plat
form whatever.
That it chose to plant itself de J
liberately, by a vote nearly unani
nious, upon the fullest and clearest
enunciation of principles which are
at once incontestably Republican
and emphatically Democratic, gives
trustworthy assurance that anew
and more ’auspicious era is dawn
ing ©poo our long distracted coun
try. Some of the best years and
best efforts of uiy life wore devoted
to a struggle agnii#t chattel slavery,
a struggle none the less earnest and
arduous because respect for consti
tutional objections constrained tne
to act for the most part on the de
fensive in .resistance to the diffu
sion, rather than in direct efforts
for the extinction, of hnmaq bond-
age.
Throughout most of three years
my vision was uncheered, my- exer
tions were rare rarely animated by
even so much as a hope that I
should live to see my country peo
pled by froedmen alone..- The af
firmance by vour Convention of
the Cincinnati platform is a most
conclusive'proof that not merely is
slavery abolished, but that its spir
it, is extinct, that despite the pro
tests of a respectable but isolated
few, there remains among us no
and .no fuu-midabfe interest
Winch'regrets tnc overthrow or de
sires of human
bondage, whether in letter or in
spirit. I am thereby justified in
my hope and trust that the first
century of American, indeuendence
will not close befbrai five ,grand ele
mental truths on which its rightful
ness w .l s ba§ c d by Jefferson and,
the Continetal Congress of ”76 will
no longcTbc regarded as glittering
generalities, but.will jbavajfbeoome
the universally accepfed and hon
ored foundations of our political
fabric, I demand the prompt appli
j catign of those principles to our ex
isting conaiiion. L !s 0
. Having doue what I could for the
cum pi etc emancipation of the blacks,
I now iusisl on the full enfrancise
inent of all my white countrymen.
Let iiblie s.iV tnat'tho ban has just
been removed from all but a few
hundred elderiy gentlemen to
whom eligibility to. office can be of
little consequence. My view con
templates not the hundreds pro
scribed, but the millions who are
denied the right to be- ruled and
represented by men.. oi tTiqir own
tmi’ettcfed chou?e. Proscription
were absurd if these did not wish,
to elect the very men whom they
are forbidden to choose.
I have a profound regard for the
people of that part of New England
wherein,! was bran, in whos£ com
mon schools -llwas taught. I rank
no people above them in intelli
gence, capacity and moral worth;
but while they do many things'
well, and some admirably, there is
one thing they cannot safely or
wisely undertake, and- that, is the
selection for Slates remote from
and unlike their ofrn, Os the persons
by whom these Stat&dshall be rep
resented in Congress. If they
could do this to good purpose, then
Republican institutions are unfit
and aristocracy the only true polit
ical system. Yet, what have, wei
recently witnessed ? Z. B. Yancey
the unquestioned, .choiqe o,f a large
majority oft he pvlsWit. Legislature
of North Carolina, hacked by a;
majority of the people who voted
at its election, refused the seat in
the Federal Senate to which ho
was chosen, iui.il thd’
whs tIHiS th 'clfhbsC' an
other in his place or leave the
State unrepresented for years. .
The votes of New England thus
deprived North Carolina of the Sen
ator of her choice, and compelled
her to send another in his £tead—
another who in our late contest
was, like Vance, a rebel and a fight
ing rebel, but, had not served in
Congress before the war as Vance
had, though the latter remained
faithful to the Union -till the clos#
of his term. I protest against the.
disfranchisement of a State, pre
sumptively of a number of States,
on ground so narrow and and tech
nical as this. .The fact that the'
same Senate which refused his seat
proceeded to remove his disabilities
after that seat had been filled by
another, only serves to place in a
stronger,light,the indignity to North
Mo unit, and the arbitrary, capri- j
cious tyranny which dictated it.
I thank; you, srentlemen, that ray
name is'to Ife
ciated with yours an a determined
effort to render amnesty complete
raid universal in spirit as well as in
letter. Even defeat in such, a case
would leave no stink, while triumph
would rafik with tbosO victories
which no blood redden, and which
evoke no tears but those of grati
tude and joy.
Gentlemen, your platform, which
is also mine, assures me that Dem
ocracy is not henceforth to stand
for one thing and Republicanism
for another ; but these terms arc to
if naan in politics, as they have al
ways mount ip (j tbe dictionary, sub

namely; eqnM rf^i#^of
