PLATFORM.
The Republican Party of the United States Il
National Convention assembled In the Git
of Philadelphia on the fifth and sixth o
June, 1872, again declares its talth5 appeal
to its history, and announces Its poslnol
upon the questions before the country.
I. During the eleven yeavs of its supremacy
it has accepted with grand courage the solemn
duties of the times. It has suppressed gigan
tic rebellion; emancipated four millions o
slaves: decreed the equal citizenship OF al, ant
established universal suffrage, exhibiting un
paraIleled magnanimity,it has cnminally pun
fshed no man for political offenses, and warnll
welcomed back all who proved their loyalt
bv obeying the laws and dealing justly wit
ueighbors II has steadily decreased with ir1
hand the resultant disorders of the great wal
and initiated a wise policy toward the Indians
the Pacific Railroad and similar vast ente1
prises have been generally aided, and success
fully conducted; the public lands freely give
TO actual settlers; immigration protected an
encouraged, and a full acknowledgment O
naturalized citizens rights secured from Euro
pean powers. A uniform national currenc
has been provided, reputation trowned down
the national credit sustained, under the mos
extraordinary burdens, and new bonds az
negotiated at low rates. The revenues hay
been carefully collected, and honestly applied
and despite the annual large reductions {
rates of taxation, the public debt has been n
duced during Gen. Grants presidency at a raj
of one hundred million dollars year. A gre'
financial crisis has been avoided, and pesS
and plenty prevail throughout the land. NJ

III. The recent amendments to the:Nat
Constitution should be cordially sustained, |
cause they are right, not merely tolerated
cause they are law, and should be carried 0
according to their spirit by appropriate leg

trusted only to the party that secured tho
amendments.
