The undersigned constituting the National Com
mittee designated by the Convention held at Chca-
20 ON the 10th of May, 1865, hereby call conven-
ton the Union Republican party al the city Of
PHILADELPHIA, on Wednesday, the 9Th day ofJune
next at u o'clock noon for the purpose OF nominal
ingcanddates for the Offices Of President and Vice
President of the United States.
Each State is authorized to be represented 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 authorized TO send TWO dei'
egates.
In calling This Convention, the Committee remind
the country that the promises Of the Union ltepubli-
can Convention of 1865 have been fallllled. The
States lately in rebellion have been restoedred
then former relations TO 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
are being enforced, for the protection of persons
and property in all sections. Equal suffrage has
been engralted on the National Constitution; the
privileges and immunities of American citizenship
have become part of the organic law, and lib
eral policy has bel adopted toward all who en-
gagged in the rebellion. Complications in foreign re-
latons have been adjusted in the interest of peace
throughout the world while the national honor has
been maintained. Corruption has been exposed,
offenders punished, responsibility enforced safe
guards established, and now 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 cit
zens of the United States.
