l. We chngf&lhte the soantrS soif eheI
assured success Of the Reconstruction pol
icy of Congress, as evinced by the adop-
lslon In tie majority of the States lately In
lreeH5on, of Constitutions securing Equal
fCfvn and Political Rights to all; and It is
the duty ofthe g EoSefAmelt t6 sustain those
institutions, and to prevent the people Il
| such States from being remittcd to State
| of anarchy,
| II. The guaranty by Congress Of equal
Suffrage to all loyal men at the So,lth was
tdshfahded by every consideration, of public
| safety, OF gratitude, and of-;,ustice, and
must be maintained; while tt. e question of
Suffrage in all the loyal States properly be.
longs to the people sfthos States: .e.1.
III. We denoulce all forms of Repudia-
| tlon as natlozIaI crime; and the, national
honor requifes the pay nlent of the public
edress in the uttermost good faith to
| ali creditors at home and abroad, not only
according to the letter, but the spirit of the
laws under which it was enacted.
| ~. 1t is due to the labor of the Natl, n
that taxation should be equalized, and re-
duced as the national faith wilt permit.
| V. The National Deb, sas it
has been, for tRepreserv all enaofthe. Union
| for all time to come, should be extended
over fair period for redemption; and it is
the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of
| interest thereupon, whenever it can be hon
testify done.
| W. That the best policy to diminish
our burden of debt is to so improve our
credit that capitalists will seek to loan US
money at lower rates of interest than we
now pay, and must continue to pay SO long
as reputation, partial or total, open or
keeyert, is threatened or suspected.
t~VII. The Government of the United
States should be administered with !, the
strictest economy and the corruptions which
have been SO shamefully nursed and fos
ttered by Andrew johnson call loudly for
radical form.
T VII. We profoundly deplore the untimely
and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, and
regret the accession to the Presidency of
Andrew johnson, who has acted treacher-
ously to the people who elected him and
the cause he was pledged to support; who
has usurped high legislative and judicial
| functions who has refused to execute the
! laws; who has used the high office to in
| duce other officers to ignore and violate the
laws; who has employed his executive pow
ers to render insecure the property, the
peace, the liberty, and life of the citizen;
who has abused the pardoning power; who
has denounced the National Legislature as
unconstitutional; who has persistently md
