The Republican Creed

The Hon. Emory B. Potter Of New York
in recent speech gave short but emphatic
delineation of the Republican creed which we
subjoin for the information of those who arc
not versed in its doctrines:
We seek a just and economical administra-
ton of the government.
A wise,- conciiatory and just foreign policy;
A system Of revenue duties. which, while it
supplies the needful expenses Of government,
shall at the same time yield incidental protec-
ton to industry against the cheap labor Of Eu-
rope;
A system Of improvement, not only upon
our ocean coast, but upon our inland lakes and
rivers and other great avenues of trade, which
will strengthen commerce, and insure the safe
ty Of our property and lives of our people in
time of peace, and serve for military transpor-
ton in time of war.
A chain of railroads which shall connect the
Atlantic and Pacific, binding our wide spread
empire with the strong bonds Of common IT,
terest and giving Us the carrying trade of the
world;
A policy in the disposal of the public lands
which shall give the pioneer, the actual SET
tier, homestead, an advantage over the mere
Spectator; and thus instead of town plats and
cities on paper, build upreal towns and cities,
making the wilderness literally blossom like a
garden, spreading civilization and generalpros-
perity over the land;
Laws and policy for Utah, which shall put
an end to the hdeous deformty upon our in
stitutions which disgraces us in the eyes Of the
world;
A constant and implicit observance of the
rights Of the several States, according to the
understanding of Jefferson and the early faith
ers Of the Republic.
Now, sir, ask Southern meil--for 1 speak
to them in this matter--what in aIl this is sec
tional, tllat is not for the interest of the South
us we'll as the North, the East as well as the
West2
If it is said that have said nothing in re-
gard to the policy of tie party, as to- Negro
Slavery, / will add that our policy upon the
subject is as simple ard as time-honered as
either of the other planks have named. 1t
is simply to let it alone where State rights
protect it, aud refuse our sanction to it and
oppose its entry into any Territory where it
has no such shield to guard it.. If you say
that this policy is sectional, Ireply, then, that
you, not we, have made it so: for it is but q
brief period that parties Soath, as well as
North, held this identical doctrine In common
even to insisting that it was not within the
power of Congress to legalize slavery in the
Territories
This furnishes a tree and inst view Of the
real objects and aims Of the Republican par
ty, and no just man can object to them. Mis-
representation of its principles may for time
fill many with prejudice, but time the corrector
of all that is wrong. will certainly secure for
these principles popular support.
