their former relations 10 the Government. The
laws 1.-THE country have been faithfully executed
public faith has been preserved, and the national
credit firmly established. Governmental economy
has been illustrated by the reduction at the same
lime, of the public debt and of taxation; and the
funding of the national debt at a lower rate of in
terest has been successfully inaugurated. The
rights of naturalized citizens have been protected
by treaties, and immigration encouraged by liberia
provisions. The defenders Of the Union have been
gratefully remembered, and the rights and interests
OF labor recognized. Laws have been enacted, and
are being enforced, for the protection of persons

privileges and immunities of American citizenship
have become part Of the organic law, and lib.
eral policy has been adopted toward all who en-
gagged in the rebellion Complications in foreign

throughout the world, while the national honor has
been maintained. Corruption has been exposed,
offenders punished, responsibility enforced, safe
guards established, and nov, as heretofore, the
Republican party stands pledged to correct all
abuses and carry out all reforms necessary to main
tain the purity and efficiency Of the public service
To continue and firmly establish its Fundamental
principles we invite the cooperation of all the c
zens Of the United States.
