41OANs
The undersigned constituting the
National Committee designated by the
Convention held at Chicago on the 10th
of May, 1868, hereby call convention
Of the Union Republican Party at the
city Of Philadelphia, on Wednesday
the 9Th, day of June next, at II O'Clock
noon, for the purpose of nominating
candidates for the offices of President
and Vice President Of the United
States.
Each State is authorized to be rep
resented in the convention by delegates
equal to twice the number Of Senators
and representatives to which it will be
entitled in the next National Congress,
and each organized Territory is author
lied to send two delegates.
In calling this convention, the COM
mittee remind the country that the
promises of the Union Republican Con-
vention of 1868 have been fulfilled
The States lately in rebellion have been
restored to their former relations in
the Government. The laws of the
country have been faithfully executed,
public faith has been preserved, and
the national credit firmly established
Governmental economy has been Illus
trated by the reduction, at the same time,
of the public debt and taxation, and the
funding of the national debt at a lower
rate of interest has been successfully
inaugurated. The rights of naturali-
zed citizens have been protected by
treaties, ard immigration encouraged
by liberal provisions. The defenders
of the Union have been gratefully re-
membered, and the rig hts and Interests
of labor recognized Laws have been
enacted, and are being enforced, for
the protection of persons and property
in all sections. Equal suffrage has
been engrafted on the national Consti-
tuition the privileges and immunities
of American citizenship have become
part Of the organic law, and a liberal
policy has been adopted toward all who
engaged in the rebellion. Complica-
tons in foreign relations have been ad-
justed in the interests ofpeace through
out the world, while the national hon
or has been maintained. Corruption
has been exposed, offenders punished,
responsibility enforced, safeguards es-
tablished, and now, as heretofore the
Republican party stand pledged to cor
rect all abuses and carry out all reforms
necessary to maintain the purity and
efficiency of the public service. To
continue and firmly establish its fund
amental principles, we invite the CO.
operation of all the citizens of the Uni
ted States. --aa
