tralion Of affairs generally, ayoring the
granting the right of citizenship to all
classes OF citizens, repudiating the rebel

The resolutions on the Southern measures
of the President are as follows. and We're
evidently framed by the conservatives
EeS0lred, That We approve. is emuently
wise and just, the sentiments OF Kindness
and confidence which President johnson
has evinced towards those of the communi-
ties aud individuals lately IN rebellion. who
accept the perpetuatl0n of the Union and
the perpetual prohibition of slavery as the
legitimate and irreversible results OF the
war; that we approve the initial steps he
has taken towards relaxing the bond, 0l
military authority in the Southern states
and in restoring 10 their people full and
complete control over their local affairs
just rs soon as may be found compatible
with the preservation Of order. the main
tenance Of peace, the exclusion OF slavery
and the iuliillment OF the constitutional OBJ
legation 10 the national authority. 10 GUAR
antee 10 every State a republican form OF
government. and that We confidently look

With the public safety 10 restore to the

The Detroit Tribune observes:
The platform is about what We had ex- ]
ected. Ii Is decidedly better than the /
democratic Platform, but on the whole i !
tlmld performance. Its endorsement Of I
resident johnson IS cordial aud unre- |
erved. His reconstruction policy and late I
peech are specially commended. On the |
1oJect of negro suffrage. it SAYS nothing. \
III there Is a squirt at il in the request \
hat the southern States will recognize e. in \
spirit OF equal and impartial justice. and \
lth view 10 the elevation and prepara- \
on Tor the full rights OF citizenship Of an \
'e'F people. which We take il will have no \
cry visible effect upon the aforesaid South y
IN states, but Is very proper thing for 4 y
epubllcan Convention TO say. ii nothing \
lore emphatic was in order The readieST
nns that viii be said by the Democrats n
'out thls platform is, that il I, not what No y
'dlcalS would have made IL. and vet M. q
reeley writes that they were in majority n
90 IN the Convention but without disci- n
me, and falling to act in concert. %
