In calling this Convention, the Committee remind
the country that the promises of the Union Republi
can Convention of 1858 have been fulfilled. The
States lately in rebellion have been restoedred
their former relations 10 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 illustrated by the reduction at the same
ime, of the public debt and of taxation; and the
funding of the national debt at lower rate of in
terest has been successfully inaugurated. The
rights of naturalized citizens have been protected
by treaties, and immigration encouraged by liberal
provisions. The defenders Of the Union have been
gratefully remembered, and the rights and interests
oflabor recognized Laws have been enacted, ant
are being enforced, for the protection of persons
and property in all sections. Equal suffrage ha
been engrafted on the National Constitution; tn,
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 re
latioDs have been adjusted in the interest of peace
throughout the world, while the national honor ha
been maintained. Corruption has been exposed
offenders punished, responsibility enforced, safe
guards established, and nov, as heretofore, the
Republican party stands pledged to correct al
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 ct
gems OF the United States.
