and other European powers, concerning
the allegiance of 'once subject always
a subject having at least through the
effort of the republican party, been
abandoned, and the American idea of
individual right to transfer of his al
legiance, having been accepted by Eu-
ropean nations, it is the duty of our
Government to guard with jealous care
the rights Of adopted citizens against
the assumption of unauthorized claims
by their former Government, and we
urge continued and careful cncour-
agement, and protection Of voluntary
immigration.
10th. The franking privilege ought
to be abolished and the way prepared
for speedy reduction in the rates of
postage.
18th. Among the questions which
press for attention is that which con-
Germs the relations of capital and labor;
and the republican party recogni re the
duty of S, shaping legislation as to Sc
cure the full protection and amplest
field for capital, and for labor, the Gre
alton of capital the largest opportunities
and just share of the mutual profits
of these two great servants Of civiliza-
ton.
18th. We hold that congress and the
President have only fulfilled an impera-
tive duty in their measures for the sup
preston Of violent and reasonable
organizations, in certain lately REBEL

the ballot box, and therefore, they are
entitled to the thanks Of the ma

pride reduction of the principal of the
debt, and a reduction of the interest of
the balance; and confidently expect
that cur excellent national currency
will be perfected by speedy resump-
ton is specie payment.
14te. The republican party is mindful
Of its obligations to the loyal women of
America, for their noble devotion to the
cause Of freedom. Their admission to
wider fields of usefulness is received
with satisfaction, and the honest de-
mands Of any class of citizens for addi-
tional rights, should be treated with
respectful consideration.
18th. We heartily approve of the
action of congress in extending amnesty
to those lately in rebellion, and rejoice
in the growth Of peace and fraternal
feeling throughout the land.
10th. The republican party propose
to respect the rights secured by the
people to themselves, as carefully as
the powers delegated by them to the
state and federal government. 1t dis
approves of resort to unconstitutional
laws, for the purpose of removing evils,
by interference with the rights not SUR
rendered by the people to either the
state OR national government.
18th. 1t is the duty of the general
government to adopt such measures as
will tend to encourage American CON-
merce and ship building.
18th. We believe that the modest
patriotism, the earnest purpose, sound
judgment, practical wisdom, incompat-
ible integrity and illustrious services of
U. S. Grant, have commended them
selves to the hearts of the American
people, and with him at our head we
start to-day on new march to vic
tory.
