TX. The doctrines of Great
Britain and other European pow
ers, that because man is once a
subject he is always so, must be
resisted at every hazard by the Uni
Tee States as relic of feudal times
not authorized by the law of ma
tons, and at war with our national
honor and independence. Natural
lied citizens are entitled to be pro
tccted, in all their rights of citizen
ship, as those. who are native born,
and no citizen of the United States,
native or naturalized, must be liza
BILE to arrest or Imprisonment 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.
X. OF all who were faithful in
the trials of the late war, there
were none entitled to more. espe
cial honor than the brave soldiers
and seamen, who endured the hard
ship Of the campaign, and imperril-
led their lives in the service Of the
fcountry. The bounties and pen
sions provided by law to these
brave defenders, are obligations
never to be forgotten. The widows
and orphans of the gallant dead are
the wards Of the people, sacred
legacy bequeathed to the nation S
protecting care. ,.-.
XI. AS immigration has in the
past added to the wealth of the
country, the development of our re-
. sources, and the increase of our
tpower as nation, the coming of

be fostered and encouraged by an
impartial and just policy.
I XII. This convention tenders
its sympathy to all the oppressed
peoples which are struggling for
their rights.
Mr.. Schurz then offered the fol
lowing resolutions which were
adopted: -
Resoloed, That we highly com
mend the spirit Of magnanimity and
forgiveness, with which men who
have served in the rebellion, but
now frankly and honestly cooper
ate with us in restoring the peace OF
the country, and reconstruction OF
the Southern State governments,
upon the basis Of impartial justice
and equal rights, are received back
into the communion Of the loyal
people; and we favor the removal
of the disqualifcations and restric-
tions imposed upon the late rebels,
in the same measure as the spirit OF
disloyalty dies out, and as may be
consistent with the safety Of loyal
people. -...s-
Resolued, That we recognize the
great principles laid down in the
immortal Declaration Of Indepen-
dence as the true foundation of q
Democratic Government, and we
hail with gladness every effort to-
ward making these principles a liv-
ing reality over every inch Of Amer
lean soil.
