THE PLATFORM.
ResOlred, That we refer with pride
To the history of the Republican par
ty, and congratulate the people of
hiscOuntry upon its successful career.
1t has given TO the poor man Il home
stead; it has abolished slavery,
and established manhood suffrage,
crushed treason, given us vast lines
Of continental railways, settled the
doctrine of the right Of expatriation,
maintained the honor, integrity and
credit Of our nation. 1t has vindica-
ted the Monroe doctrine by prevent
ing foreign powers from interfering
with tire governments on this cOnti-
nent; and to perpetuate it in power
is the only safe guaranty for peace
and prosperity in the future.
Iesolred, That we heartily congrat-
ulate the country upon the settlement
of orr vexed and dangerous contro-
versics with the government of Great
Britain, and especially upon the just
and Christian spirit and manner in
which these controversies have been
settled.
Resoircd, That while we cordially
favor Just and reasonable degree OF
protection to all branches Of our
American industry against injurious
foreign competition, we are unalter-
ably opposed to any system OF legis-
lation which favOrs one section Of the
country, or one department Of indus
trial enterprise, at the expense Of
another, and therefore advocate sacll
protection only as fairly adjusted
revnnlie tariff will afford.
