THE ONO AGO FLATS oRm

THE CHIC AGO PL.A TF ORN
AS AMENDED AND ADOPTED.
Resolred, That we, the delegated representatives
of the Republican electors of the United States i'll
Convention assembled, in the discharge of the duty
We owe to our constituents and our country, uEite
in the following declarations:
1st That the history of the nation during the
last four years, has fully established the propriety
and necessity of the organization and perpetuatIon
of the Republican party and that the causes which
called it into existence are permanent i'll their ma
ture and now, more than ever before, demand its
peaceful and constitutional triumph.
2. That the maintenance of the principles pro-
mulgated in the Declaration of Independence and
embodied in the Federal Constitution-''T That all
men are created equal that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalienable rights that
among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness that to these rights, governments
instituted among men, deriving their just pow
from the consent of the governed lis essential
to the preservation of our Republican institutions
and that the Federal Constitution, the Rights of
the States and the Union Of the States must and
| shall be preserved.
g. That to the Union Of the States this nation
owes its unprecedented increase in population, its
surprising development of material resources, its
rapid augmentation of wealth, its happiness at
home and its honor abroad /; and we hold IN alb
horrence all sonennes for DisunOn, come from what
ever source they may: And we congratulate the
country that Republican member of Congress
has uttered or countenanced the threats of Dis
union SO often made by Democratic members, with
rebuke and with applause from their political
associates; and we denOunce those threats of dis
union, in case of popular overthrow Of their as
tendency as denying the vital principles OF a Iree
government, and an avowal of contemplated
treason, which it is the imperative duty of in
dignant People sternly to rebuke and forever ST.
lence.
of the States and especially tho right of each State
to order and control its domestic institutions
according to its judgment exclusively, is es-
sentaI to that balance of powers on which the per-
lection and endurance OF our political fabric de-.
| ponds and We denounce the lawless invasion by
armed force of tue soil of any State Territory,
matter under what pretext, as among the grave5t
| crimes.
s. That the present Democratic Administration
has far exceeded our worst approximations, in its
measursess subserYiency to the exactions OF sec
tiOnal interest," especially eyinced in its desper
ate exertions to force the infamous LoCempton Con-
stitutiop upon the protesting people of Kansas in
constituting the personal relation between master
and servant to involve unqualified property in
persons in its attempted enforcement, everywhere
on land and sea, through the Intervention OF Con-
| gress and of the Federal Courts, of the extreme
pretensions of purely local interest and in its
general and unvasying abuse of the power intrnsted
| to it by contiding people.
G. That the People Justly view with alarm the
reckless extravaganza which pervades every depart
ment of the Federal Government that return to
rigid economy and accountability is Indispensable
to arrest the systematic plumber of the public treas
ury by favored partisans while the recent startling
deVelopm6 of frauds and corruptous at the Fed
eral Metropolis, show that an entire change OF
| administration is imperatiyely demanded
z. That she new dogma that the Constitution, OF
its force, carries Slavery into any all of the
Territories of tho United States, is dangerous
visions Of that instrument itself, with contempora
neous exposition and with legislative and judicial
subversive Of the peace aud harmony of the country
s. That the normal condition of all the Territory
/ of the United States is that of freedom: That as
our Republican fathers, when they had abolished
slavery all national territory ordained that
no person should be deprived of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law" it becomes
our duty, by legislation, whenever such legislation
is necessary, to maintain this provision of the Con
stitution against all attempts to violate it aud we
deny the authority OF Congress, of territorial leg
slature, of any individuals, to give legal exist
ence to Slavery in any Territory Of the United
States.
8. That we brand the recent re-opening of the
| African Slaye-Trade, under the cover of our Ma
tional Flag, aided by perversons of Judicial power,
| a crime against Humanity ami burning shame
to our Country and Age; and We call upon Congress
take prompt and efficient measures for the total
| and final suppression of that execrable traffic.
| 10 That in the recent vetoes, by their Federal
Governors, of the acts of the Legislatures OF Kan
| sas ard Nebraska, prohibiting Slavery in those
Territories we find practical illustration of tho
boasted Democratic principle Of Non Intervention
and Popular Sovereignty embodied IN the Kansas
Nebraska BILL and demonst alton Of the deception
! and fraud involved therein.
H. That Kansas should, of right be Immediately
admitted q State under the Constitution recently
formed and adopted by her people, and accepted by
| the House of Representatives.
! Y. That, while providing revenue for the sup
port of the general government by duties upon I'M
ports, sound policy requires such an adjustment OF
these imPosts as to encourage the Development OF
the industrial interests of the Whole country and
wa Commend that policy Of national exchanges,
which to the working men liberal wages, to
eJricu t1Ire remuueyatfBe prices to mechanics and
labor and enterprise and to the nation commercial
prosperity and Independence.
ID. That we protest against any sale or ahena-
ton to others of the Public Lands held by Hctual
settlers, and against any view of the Free Home
stead policy which regards the settlers paupers
or sIppliants for public bounty and VIC demand
the passage by Congress Of the complete and salts
factory Homestead measure which has already pass
ed the House.
IA That tho Republican party is opposed to any
change in our Naturalization Laws, or any State
Legislation by which the rights of citizenship hith-
arfO ed to m
be abridged impaired; and in favor of Civ
ing full and efficient protection to the rights Of
all classes of citizens, whether native or natural
lied, both Mt home and abroad.
q 49, That appropriations by Congress for River |
and Harbor improvements of National character, |
required for the accommodation and security Of an
existing commerce, are authorized by the Constr
tuition, and justified by the obligation OF GoVera-
meat protect the lives and property ofits citizens
Is. That Railroad to the Pacific Ocean is i'm |
peratively demanded by the interests OF the whole
country that the Federal Government Ought 10 |
render Immediate and efficient aid in its constr'c-
ton; and that, rs preliminary thereto. a daily |
Overland Mail should be promptly established.
IT. Finally, having thus set forth our distinctive
principles and Vows, We invite the cooperation OF
all citizens however differing on other Questions,
who substan TALLY agree with in their afhrmaRce
and support. s=5
