In calling this Convention, the Committee remind

States lately in rebellion have been restored to
their 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
OF labor recognized. Laws have been enacted and
are being enforced, for the protection ofpersons
and property in all sections Equal suffrage has
been engrafted on the National Constitution; the
privileges and immunties 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-
latjops 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 nov, 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, invite the cooperation of all the citi
zens of the United States.
