The following is the platform adopt
ed by the Republican Convention, at
Chicago, on Thursday the 2lst day of
May, 1868.
The National Republican party of
the United States, assembled IN Ma
tional Convention 10 the city of Chi
cage, on the 10th day Of May, 1868,
make the following declaration of
principles:
l. We congratulate the country on
the assured success of the reconstruc-
ton policy of Congress as e%vinced by
the adoption, ia a majority Of the
States lately in rebellion. Of Consti-
buttons securing equal civil and polit-
ical rights to all; and we regard it
as the duty Of the Government to sus-
tain those institutions, and to pre-
vent the people of such States from
being RENTED TO a state Of anarchy.
2. The guarantee by Congress Of
equal suffrage to all loyal men IN the
South was demanded by every con-
sideration of public safety, Of graft
tude. and must be maintained; while
the question Of suffrage in all the
loyal States properly belongs to the
people of those States.
3. We denounce all forms of repu-
diation as national crimes, and the
national honor requires the payment
of the public indebtedness. ia the
utmost good faith, to all creditors. at
home and abroad, not only according
to the letter bat the spirit of the laws
I'll der which it was contracted.
4. It IS due to the labor of the ma
ton that taxation should be eqQalized
and reduced as rapidly as u nation
al faith will permit.
3. Tae national debt, contracted,
as it has been, for the preservation Of
( the Union fer all time to come. should
| be extended owe a fair period for
redemption; and it Is the duty of
! Congress to reduce the rate of interest
thereon, whenever it can honestly be
done.
