glorious triumph;
The National Republican party Of the United
States assembled In Naiionn Convention, In the
city of Chicago, on The goth day OF May, 1868,
make the following declaration Of ptinciplesi
Firr e. We congratulate tho country on the
assured success OF the reconstruction policy of
Congress, ~ ovinccd by the adoption, in a ma
iuity Of the States lately in rebellion, of constitu-
tions securing equal civil and political rights to
all, aud regard II as the duty Of the Government
to sustain those institutions, and to prevent the
people Of such States from being RENTED to
state Of anarchy.
S.coud- The guarantee 10y Congress, OF equal
suffrage TO nll loyal men in the South was de-
manded by every consideration of public safety,
of gratitude aud Of justice, and must be main
tanned, while tho question Of suffrage in all the
loyal States properly belongs to the people Of
| those states
TSi,d We dcnouncc all forms or population MS
a national ciimc and the national houor requires
the payment Of the public Indebtedness, In tie
utmost good faith, to all creditors, at home aud
abroad, not only according 10 inc ielteri Dnt the
! spirit ol thelRWs uhder Whlch u was cohuacteo'
foWm II is que 10 the 'aooI OF inc hnuoh thot
taxation should bc cqualized ana reduced rs
rapidly as the national faith will permit.
FIW The national debt, contracted MS II has
been, for the prcscrvotiono the Union for all time
| to como, Should pc cNlehue1 over iair Peruu lor
redemption, aud IL is the duty Of Congress to re-
dncothe rate Of interest thereon, Whenever 1t can
