| Adepted 1t IL R7sblicaa National Correatiss, O
| Philadelphia. yssse 8, 1872.
The Republican party of the United States as
sembled in . National Convention. in the city Of
Philadelphia. On June and 6, 1877. again de
| clares its faith. appeals 10 its history, and an
nounces its position upon the questions befors
the country.
1. During eleven years Of it, supremacy, il ha1
accepted. with grand courage. the solemn duties
emancipated ,O0O, 000Of slaves decreed the equal
citizenship Of ALL and established universal suf
frxge. Exhibiting unparalleled magnantmity, II
has crimipally punished NO man for political Of:
lenses, and warmly welcomed all who proved
their loyalty by Obeying the laws and dealing
justly with their neighbors. It has steadily de-
| creased with . firm hand the resultant disorders
| ward the Indians. The Pacific Railroad and sim
liar vast enterprises have been eenerously aided
and successfully conducted: the public land free
ly given to actual settlers; immigration encOur-
| aged and protected. and . full acknowledgment
Of naturalized citizens rights secured from Euro
pean powers. uniform national currency has
been provided, repudiatiOn frOwned down. the
national credit sustained under the most extra
ordinary burdens. and new bonds Negotiated ~
lower rates; the revenues have been carefully col
| lected and honestly applied. Despite the annual
large reductions Of rates Of taxation. the public
debt has been reduced during General Grant s
Presidency ut the rate Of $780, 0OO. go year:
great financial cricis has been avoided. and peace
and plenty prevail throughout the land. Men
ecing foreign difficulties have been peacefully
and hOnOrably compromised, and the honor and
power Of the nation kept in high respect through
ont the world. This glorious record Of the past
is the partys best pledge for the future. We be-
lieve that the people will mot entraEt the Gov
arnment to any party Or combination OF me- n
composed of those who chiefly have resisted
every step Of this benificial prOgres.
2. Complete liberty and exact equality In the
the enjoyment of all civil, political and public
rights should be established and edectually main
vg~usS~ NR.sx,,
prupriate State and Federal legislation; neither
law nor its administration should admit Of any
discrimination in respect to citizens by reason Of
race creed, color, OF previous condition u sefvi
tude.
3. The recent amendments to the National Con-
stitution should be cordially sustained because
they are right, and not merely tolerated because
they are law. and should be carried out according
to their spirit by appropriate legislation. the en-
f0rcement Of which can be safely trusted only to
the party th.t secured those amendments.
4. The National Government should seek to
maintain m Honorable peace with all nations.
Protecting its citizens everywhere, and syMpa-
thyzing with all people who strive for greater
liberty.
S. Any system u civil service under which the
subordinate positions u the Government are con-
sidered rewards for mere party neal. is fatally de-
moealixinS. and We therefore favor . system BY
laws which shall scolish the evils Of patrOnaee.
