Eight-We hold in undying honor the SOL
diers and sailors whose valor saved the Union.
Their pensions are sacred debt of the nation,
and the widows and orphans of those who
died for their country are entitled to the care
of generous and grateful people. We favor
such additional legislation as will extend the
| bounty of the government 10 all our soldiers
and sailors who were honorably discharged,
and who in the line OF duty became disabled,
without regard 10 length of service or cause of
such discharge.
Ninth-The doctrine of Great Britain and
| other European Powers concerning allegiance
-"once subject always a subject" having
at last, through the efforts of the Republican
party been abandoned, and the American idea
OF the individuals right 10 transfer his allie
glance having been accepted by European ma
tons, II is the duty OF our Government to
guard with jealous care the right of her adopt.

| abolished, and the way prepared for speedy
reduction in the rates OF postage.

| press for attention is that which concerns the

legislation aslto secure full protection and an

tor OF capital, largest opportunities and Just
share of the mutual profits of these two great
servants Of civilization.
| Twelith-We hold that Cong ress and the
President have only fulfilled an imperative
duty in their measures for the suppression of
violent and reasonable organizations in GER
| tain lately rebellious regions, and for the pro-
| lection Of the ballot box that they are en-
titled therefore to the thanks of the nation.
Thrteenth--We denounce reputation Of
the public debt in any form of disguise as
national crime. We witness with pride the
reduction fthe principal of the debt, and of
notes of interest upon the balance, and con-
fidently expect that our excellent national cur
rency will be perfected by the early resump-
ton of specie payment.
Fourteenth-The Republican party is mind
| full of its obligations to the loyal women of
| America for their noble devotion 10 the cause
of freedom. Their admission to wider fields
of usefulness ia received with satisfaction, and
the honest demands of any class of citizens
for additional rights should be treated with
respectful consideration.
Fifteenth-We heartily approve of the ac-
ton of Congress in extending amnesty to those
| lately ia rebellion, and rejoice in the growth
of peace and fraternal feeling throughout the
| land.
Sixteenth--The Republican party propose
| to respect the rights reserved by the people
to themselves, as carefully as the powers dele
| gated by them 10 the States and TO the FEEDER
al government. 1t disapproves of report to
unconstitutional law for the purpose of re-
moving evils, by interference with rights not
| surrendered by the people to either the State
or the National Government.
| SeveDteenth-It 10 the duty Of the general
government 10 adopt such measures as will
lend to encourage American commerce and
ship building
| Eighteenth-We believe that the modest
| patriotism, the earnest purpose, the sound
| Judgment, the practical wisdom, the incom-
parable integrity, the iIustrious service of
Ulysses S. Grant, have commended him TO the
hearts Of the American people, and that with
him at our head we start to-day on a new
march to victory.
