pardoning power; who has denounced the National Legis-
lature as unconstitutional; who has persistently and cor-
ruptly resisted, by every measure in his power, every pro-
per attempt at the reconstruction of the States lately in
rebellion ; who has perverted the public patronage into an
engine of wholesale corruption, and who has been justly
impeached for high crimes and misdemeanours, and properly
pronounced guilty thereof by the vote of 35 senators.
Ninth—The doctrine of Great Britain and other European
Powers, that because a man is once a subject he is always
so, must be resisted at evety hazard by the United States,
as a relic of the feudal times, not authorized by the
law of nations, and at war with our national honour and
independence. Naturalized citizens are entitled to be
protected in all their rights of citizenship, as though they
were native born ; and no citizen of the United States,
native or naturalized, must be liable to arrest and impri-
sonment by any foreign Power for acts done or words
spoken in this country ; and if so arrested and imprisoned,
it is the duty of the Government to interfere in his behalf.
Tenth.—Of all who were faithful in the trials of the late
war, there were none entitled to more especial honour
than the brava soldiers and seamen who endured the hard-
ships of campaign and cruise, and imperilled their lives in
the service of the country ; the bounties and pehsions pro-
vided by the laws for these brave defenders of the nation
are obligations never to be forgotten ; the widows and
orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of the people, a
sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation's protective care.
Eleventh.—Foreign immigration, which in the past has
added so much to the wealth, development, and resources,
and increase of power of this nation, the asylum of the
oppressed of all nations, should be fostered and encouraged
by a liberal and just policy. Twelfth.—The Convention
declares itself in sympathy with all the oppressed peoples
who are struggling for their rights."
Mr. Spencer, of New York, immediately moved
that the report be adopted, and called for the pre-
vious question, which Ohio seconded, and the re-
port as presented by the committee was adopted
with only two or three dissenting votes: General
Carl Schurz then moved the adoption of an addi-
tional resolution recognizing the Declaration of In-
dependence as the foundation of a true Democratic
Government, and commending the magnanimity to
the reconstructed rebels, who now support the Go-
vernment, and favouring the removal of the restric-
tions and disabilities imposed upon them, just as
rapidly as their loyalty justifies it. The chairman
of the Pennsylvania delegation and Mr. Gooch of
Massachusetts seconded the and it was
unanimously adopted. Another resolution was also
adopted, declaring that adjournment would not
effect dissolution of the Convention, but that its
organization should remain in force, and that it
should be called together again at any time and
place that the National Republican Committee
should designate. A motion was then made that the
Convention proceed to ballot for a candidate for
President, and Gen. Logan of Illinois said, " In the
name of the loyal people and soldiers of the Republi-
can party, I nominate Ulysses S. Grant for President
of the United States." The whole Convention rose to
their feet amid great cheering and waving of hats
and handkerchiefs. The applause was prolonged,
and ended in " three cheers for Gen. Grant," and
the band played " Hail to the Chief." The States
were then called, and each in succession voted for
Grant. The vote of Georgia was announced by
Governor Brown, who said " the Georgia Republi-
cans, many of whom were originally Secessionists,
recognized the maxim, ' Enemies in war, in peace
friends.'" During the progress of the call, each
successive vote was received with great enthusiasm.
Gen. Sickles, on rising to cast New York's vote, was
received with cheers. The Territories were also
called, each having two votes, except Colorado,
which was allowed six. The chair announced that
six hundred and fifty votes had been cast, and all
for Gen. Grant. An indescribable scene of enthu-
siasm followed, and a curtain was suddenly lifted
and a fine portrait of Grant displayed, supported
by the figure of liberty, with the White House be-
hind. On one pedestal was inscribed "Republican
Nominee of Chicago Convention, May 20, 1868 ;"
on the other, " Democratic Nominee of the New
York Convention, July 4, 1868." Above was a
scroll, on which were the words " Match Him ;"

but the " M" being badly formed the New York
