\ NATIONAL UNION REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION.

The undersigned, constituting the Ma
tional Committee designated by the
Convention held at Chicago on the goth
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 | 2 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 repre-
sented 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 prom
Uses of the Union Republican Conven-
ton of 1868 have been fulfilled. The
States lately in rebellion have been re-
stored to their former relations to the
Government. The laws Of the country
have been faithfully executed, public
faith has been preserved, and the ma
tional credit firmly established. Gov
ernmental economy has been illustrated
by the reduction, at the same time, of
the public debt and taxation and the
funding of the national debt at lower
rate of interest has been successfully in
augurated. 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 of labor recOg
nized 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 Constitution; the privileges
and immunities of American citizenship
have become part of the organic law,
and liberal policy has been adopted to-
ward all who engaged in the rebellion.
Complications in foreign relations have
been adjusted in the interest of peace
throughout the world, while the nation
al honor has been maintained. Corrup-
ton has been exposed, offenders punish
ed, responsibility enforced, afe-guards
established, and now. as heretofore, the
Republican party stands pledged to cor
rect all abuses and carry out all reforms
necessary to maintain the purity and eff
fciency of the public service. To con-
tinue and firmly establish its fundament-
al principles, we invite the cooperation
of all the citizens of the United States.
