the inhabitants of the land in sym

When I wrote you Inst the mortuary
reports showed a decrease of deaths
from yellow fever in the city. Since
that time there has been throe or four
wahis to tmcipstoftoLeu#> n
tiuuous rain and bad weather. Prob
mhly from this cause, on Friday, the

To thosp famiUfjr with the city and
its busy streets, when free from yel
low fever, Savannah appears u> be
j coniparntlrcly a deserted city. Bay

I ness, life aud animation. A stranger
i waiting here would suppose that the
[ ffjdies hkd all tied the city, so rare a
sight it is to see ouo oh the streets.
'Savannah, although bereft6t many
of its atfraetiops by the prevalence of
the epidemic, is still, I think, the
handsomest city in the Union. Its
numerous cloth
ed iu liviug groen, impara aTook of
beauty, freshness and health, that is i
rarely seen in other cities. The
stranger who has visited other places,
that, has an appreciation of tile beau
tiful in nature and urt, cannot fail to
give expression to his feelings in no
faitlt terms AV laudat ion and admira
tion of the beauties of the Forest
City. The traveler who has. paid any
attention to the subject of hygiene,
would pronounce it, in all pro fa
'of its numerous squares, the ven
tilation of the ciiy is nearly
perfect. The soil of Savannah is
composed principally of sand and is

Forthe Democracy .>i the whole country, we
do here reafilrm ottr faith in tho permanonue of
thfi Fiidorfl Union, our devotion to tho Constltu-
Uou of tlio tJmtfed States with lta amendmentß
umvornaUy accepted aa a final Hetdemeut ot th>
eontroN’eriiioa that eiigendvrod civil v,;ar, and do
here record our steadfast confidence m Uie i>or
petuity of Hepubhoan SeU-Uoverumeut.
In absolute acquleicence lu the wilf or the ma
jority—tho vital prtmnpto of the republic ;in the
Miprouuuy of tho civil over the military authority;
In thh‘total anparatlon of Church and State, for
the Hake alike of qititaud rohgjona freedom;
in the equality of ak citizong koxore juet laws of
their owu enactment; in tho liberty of individ
ual conduct, uuvexed by guiuptuury lawe; in the
taithful education of tho rUing generation, that
they maypreaorye, enjoy, and trauamlt those
bCbt cQudittona of hurnau happiness aud hopo, wo
behold tho nobSwt products of a hundred years
of changeful hiatory; but wliile npholdiug the
bdiid of our Uniou and great Charter of these
our rights, it behooved a free people to praolise
•iso thaf eternal vigilance which in tho price of
Liberty.
Ittromr la uecesaary to rabuild and establish
iu the hearts of the whole people, the Union,
eleven years ago happily rescued from tho
danger of a Beoeggion of States: but now to be
saved from a corrupt Centralism wnich, after
luflictjihg upon ten States the rapacity of carpet
bag tyraumes, has houeyuombud the ofilcua of
uge Federal Government it self with incapacity,
was to and fraud; iufeoted States und wnnicipal
ities with the contagion .of misrule, and locked
fast the prosperity of an industrious people iu
the parfciy *is of ‘Hard Times.’
Kkform is ueceasary to establish a pound cur
rency, restore the public credit, ind maintain
the uatioual honor. ~ .
Wo denounce the failure lbr all these eleven
years of peace to make good the promise of the
legal-tender notes, which are a changing stand
ard of vahie in tho hands O# tho people, and tho
aou-payuiout of which is a disregard of the
plighted faith of the nation.
Wo denounce the improvidence which iu
eleven, years of peace has takey, from tho people
m Federal takes thirteen times the whole amount
of the legal-tender notes and squandered four
times theic sum ip useless expense without ac
cumulating any reserve fok* their redemption.
We denounce the financial imbecility aud im
moraflty of that party which, during eleven
years of paaec, has made no advance towanl
resumption, no preparutipn tor resumption, but
instead has obstructed tesumptirntj by wasting
ouf resources and exhaustiaig all our surplus
moomo-aud, while aunually proiesfling to in
tend a speedy return to specie payments, lias
ißiiuaUy vnactud-.fKcfih, hjnd.mucea thereto. As
a hindrance Wo dbnOUncC the Re?sfmptioh
iay clause of theactof 1H76 and demand its re-
MU.
Wo dentanfya judiciOtis syatoin of preparation
by public aoououiicu, by official rctreuuhmcpts,
and by wise fiuauce, which shall enable the
tialiou soon to aasure the wdiolo world, of its
perfect ability aud Us perfect readiness to meet
my of its prorriiges at the call-of the creditor en
tith'd to paymeut.
We believe uch a system, well’ devised, aud,
above all, edtrntacd to oompatent hands fui
execution, creating at no tiruo an artifieiftl apur
city of currency and at no tilde alarm mg’ the
public miml into a wdthdrawalof that.- aster
machiuery ofereditsby which jUf pur cent, of all
>usiue*R transactimis are performed.—a system
qeu, public, and.inspiring general confidence,
vYoiiid from tne day of ft* adoption bring Sealing

iu motioa tho w'liuelft .of commerce, manufac
tures, and the mechanic arts, restore employ
ment to labor, anti renew iu all ito natural
sourecs tha prbapexity of ue people.
JHrfokm is necessary ill the siim and modes of
Federal Taxation, to the end that capital luay
oe set free from distrust, and lAbor lightly btir
lebg|.
We denounce the present Tariff, levied Upon
nearly 4,000 articles, as a maetorpieea of injus
tice, in equality, and false pretense. It yield,a a
dwindling, not a yearly rising revenue. It Aha
impoverished many induatriea to subsidize a
few. It prohibits imports that might purchase
th product* of American labor. It lias degraded
American commerce frou| thuffrwt inferior
rank on tho nigh Bijas. It has Cut ifOwn the
of American manufactures at heme and
abroad, and depleted the returns of _ American
agriculture—an Industry followiTd by liaif our
paopto. dt paata the people fife time* more
than it produces to the treasury, obstructs' the
Hoeessen of production, and wastes the fruits or
)or* It promotes fraud, fesfrira ginuggling,
eriricheß dlshonCßtomcialß, audbauruptß noneif
merchants. Wo demand, that all Cnftom-
Uouse taxation shall be only for Revenue.
Keeoiim in neoessary, in the aealo of Pubffo
F.xpenao—Federal, HUto aud Municipal. Our
Federal taxation has swrileh front CO million?
gold,"in iB6O, to 460 millions 6hrrency, iu 1870;
nor aggregate taxation from 154 millions gold lu
1860, td 730nirilllonfe currency'in 1870; or in one de
cade, from less than $5 per be*d to more than
#lB per head. Since the peace, the people have
paid to their tax gatherers more than thrice tho
suinof tho national debt,, and om than twice
that sum for the Federal Government alofie. We
demand a religious frugality in every depart
ment, aud from every officer of the Qpverumeut.
Ukfobm is necessary’to put a stop to the
profiigate waste ofpubiio lauds and. their diver
sion from actual settlors py the party Ifr power,
which has squandered ‘2UO millions of acres upon
railroads alone, aud out. of more thau thrice that
aggregate has disposed of less thin a sixth direct-'
!y to tutors of the soil, ..
Kbfobm is necessary to correct the omipsiojis
of & Republican Congress and tho 'errors of our
treaties and our diplomacy which have stripped
our fellow-citizens of foreign birth and klpdred
race reerosslng the Atlantic, 1 of the shield of
; American citizenship,, and have exposed our
brethren of ihr VdcHfif coast 1,6 the incfirslorrs <k
a race upt sprung fropi the ssme great parent
stock, aud in fact now by law denied citizenship
through HftturMlfcationhs being neither accus
tomed to the traditions of a progressive oivlliza
tlon nor exercised iri liberty under equal lAWs.
vVe deuouuco the policy which thus discards tho
liberty-loving Gorman aud tolerate# the revival

ed lor immoral purposes, and Mongolian men
* hired to perform servile labor contracts. ,.
Reform is necessary and can never be effected
but. by making it tho issue of the
elections, and lifting ft above the two false iSeuos
with which the office-holding class aifd the party
in power Seek to smother it—
1. The ffilso issue with they would en
kindle sectarian strife iu respect to the public
schools, of which the establishment arid strppbrt
belong exclusively to tho several States, and
which the Democratic party lias, cherished from
their foundation, and is resolved to maintain
without prejudice or prolorenco. for any class,
sect or creed, and without largesses from the
fremrary to any. /l■' ?x , /*■fiVd *■ o rU,: ui >\
