GENERAL: The National Union Republican
party assembled in national convention on the
10th Of this month, appointed Us, the ofdcers
Of the convention, TO wait upon you. In
obedience to Its instruction We give TO you Q
COPY Of the record of Its proceedings. You
will perceive that IL was governed BY the
most patriotic motives-harmonious, snthu-
siastic, and determined. We mean, in your
own words, to "savs In peace what we won
In war;. We mean to make II . solemn and
practical reality in the United States, that
"all men arc created equal, endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable rights, among
which are life, liberty and the pursuit Of hap
piness."
We intend that there shall never be cause
or opportunity for civil war In this nation,
originated either BY those who would enslave
A..
regain their freedom. We believe that there
can be no permanent peace save In justice and
equal rights-the equality of all men before
the law. We hope to sec our Government
reaching to the remotest corner, and to the
humblest person, securing to him BY Impartial
and Irresistible power his personal safety, the
right 10 the ayalis Of his labor, and the right
and the opportunity for physical, mental and
moral advancement, The best guarantee for
the continuance Of such a Government 4, TO
give to all classes, impartisIly, 4. share in Its
management,
We hear much of foraiyeues. and fraternity.
We, too. do most earnestly desire A speedy re-
turn of the policy and measure, of peaceful
times. None long more for 4 fully restored
Union than those WIN sustained their Gov.
ernment during the late dreadful war, but the
de,d men have l,ft !. trust in our hands. We
long for peaee and good will. hut we have no
friend, who opprcs, their feIlov.men. We do
not ,aIv and hopel.,slv AN N, ,ndemnitv for
Inc mast. We .esk onlv .ecu,it, for the future.
