he cannot buy. ..

Union Republican Platform.

G1AGH Republican E1akAOFms
The following i the platform adopt
ed By the Republican Convention, at
Chicago, on Thursday the 21st day of
May. 1853.
The National Republican party of
the United States, assembled in Ma
tionaI Convention Ia the city of Chi
cago, on the Goth day of May, 1868,
make the following declaration of
principles:
/. We congratulate the country on
the assured success of the reconstruc-
ton policy of Congress as evinced by
the adoption, IN a majority of the
States lately in rebellion, Of Consti-
tutions 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 remittedto 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
tuie. 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. in the
utmost good faith. to all creditors. at
home and abroad, not ouly according
to the letter but the spirit of the laws
under which it was contracted.
4. It is due to the labor of the ma
ton that taxation should be eqTal;Zc3
a
