transfer his allegiance having been accept
cd by Europea nations, i, is the duty o.
our Government to guard with Jealous care
the rights OF our adopted citizens against
the assumption Of unauthorized claims by
their former governments, and We urge
continual and careful encouragement and
protection to voluntary immigration.
10 The fsanking privilege ought to be
abolished, and the way prepared for q
speedy reduction in the rates Of postage.
II. Among the questions which press
for attention is that which concerns the re-
lations Of capital and labor ana the Repub-
lican party recognize the duty Of 50 shap-
ing legislation as to secure full protection
and the amplest field for capital, and for
labor, the creator of capital, the largest ops
portdniiies aal a just share Of mutual prof
Its of these tho great servants Of civiliza>
ton.
-. We hold that Congress and the Pres
ident have only fulfilled an imperative duty
in their measures for the suppression Of
violent aud reasonable organizations in
certain lately rebellious regions, and for
the projection Of the ballot box and, there
fore, they are entitled to the thanks OF the
nation.
l3 We dcnouncc the reputation Of the
public debt in any form or disguise, as q
national crime. We witness with pride the
reduction OF the principal OF the debt. and
Of the rates Of interest upon the balance,
and confidently expect that our excellent
national currency will be perfected by .
speedy resumption Of specie payments.
II. The Republican party is mindful OF
its obligations to the loyal women Of Amer
ica for tleir noble devotion to the cause Of
freedom their admiss sion to wider fields Of
usefulness is received with satisfaction, and
the honest demands, o. airy class Of citizens
for additional rights should be treated with
respectful consideration.
Is. Wo heartily approve Of the action Of
Congress in extending amnesty to those
lately in rebellion, and rejoice in the
growth of peace and fraternal feeling
throughout the land.
10. The Republican party propose to re-
..sct the rights reserved by the people, ID
themselves as carefully as the powers dele-
gated by them to the State and to the Feder-
al Government. II disapproves of the re-
sort to unconstitutional laws forthe purpose
of removing evils by interference with the
rights not surrendered by the people to
either the State or National Government.
II. 1t is the duty Of the General Govern
ment to adopt such measures as will tend TO
encourage American commerce and ship
building.
Is. We believe that the modest patriot
ism, the earnest purpose, sound judgment,
practical wisdom, incorruptible integrity
and illustrious services Of Ulysses s.
Grant have commended him to the hearts Of
the American people, and, with him at cur
head, We start to-day on q new march to
victory.

Democrats and opposed by the Re

outstanding this last vote, the Dem.

y upon carrying the State at this

have generally conceded that they
might do SO, they have not intermit

not be in vain.

St6tC AIT.
H.. Editor -
Respectfully call the attention OF
the public to tho preparations made
tor the State Fair at Cedar Rapids,
September 9th, 10th, 1lth, 18th, and
18th.
l. The Grounds, fifty,six acres,
we'll watcred, and interspersed with
forest trees, have been thoroughly
cleaned up and arranged with neat.
ness aud taste. Tho newness of last
year is fast disappearing, and fine
sward OF blue grass and white clover
now covers the surface.
2, Tho fences have been rebuilt,
and tho grounds thus made more at.
tractive, and visitors entirely secure
from possible accident from teams
and the testing Of horses. and the ex.
hibition Of cattle.
8. The Amphitheater now nearly
completed, is six hundred feet long,
set on stone piers, has heavy timbers
and shinglo roof, and will comtorta-
bly, hold 5000 persons. This will
add very largely to tho comfort of
visitors. It will be free at all times
except during the contest tor tho
purses Of $500 and $1,000.
4. In the improvement Of the
Grounds there have been used more
than 100000 feet Of lumber and
100000 shingles, affording 500 stalls
for horses and cattle, $50 pens for
hogs and sheep, q Fine Art Hall, .
Floral Hall, Dining Hall, Offices
for the President and Secretary, oil
these at cost of nearly.s30, 900, and
afording facilities for an exposition
Of our industries in which all can
take pride.
5. The Society has secured the
services OF the Vinton Zouaves as q
Police Force, and the public may
rest assured the duties will be well
and thoroughly performed.
6. The Refreshments will be in
charge of an experienced caterer,will
be abundant, OF good quality and at
reasonable prices.
l. All immoral, indecent or noisy
Sides Shows, and all games of chance,
gambling, and traps tor the unwary,
will be prohibited and promptly sup.
pressed.
! =. Hotels and private houses will
be prepared accommodates thos.
! from abroad, at reasonable rates, and
no one need feel tho want Of 4 good
bed and square meal"
8. Railroads will offer largely in.
creased facilities for reaching Cedar
Rapids aud Fair Grounds, both for
visitors aud articles Of exhibition
Every car that contains only articles
for the Fair will be Immediately
transferred to the grounds and un.
loaded there. Frsights free; visitors
at about half-farc on all roads,
Trains will run regularly at short in.
tcrvals, from the depot TO the Fair
Grounds, at merely nominal fares.
10. The trotting track has been
greatly improved IN various ways !;
purses of $500 for running horses,
and $1,000 for trottlng, offered by
the local Association, it is believed
will add greatly to the interest Of tho
Fair. Some Of tho best horses in the
United States are expected.

Inventor and Bank Ohlcer.

There is good article on THE
Electrotype, its Application to Print
ing Processes" from which we ex.
tract the following incident as an
amusing illustration of some of the
drawbacks encountered by invent.
Ors:
Mr.. Dixon, tho inventor OF zinc.
ography produced fac-simile OF a
bank hote-this was lofty years ago
and took it in high glee to tho
president of a Boston Bank. Being
introduced, no showed his two pieces
Of printed paper, and asked which
was the original and which was the
counterfeit. The bank officer polite.
~ asked him to be seated. anc en-.
Enthusiastically Dixon pointed out the
extreme accuracy Of his duplicate,
and enlarged upon the importance Of
his invention. The solid man listen.
ed attcntively; but presently excused
himself, and stepped out of the room
for few seconds. On his return, he
patiently listened to further cxpla.
nations Of the enthusiastic inventor.
Soon an addition to tho company was
made in the shape Of constable,
when the bank officer-whoso hor-
ror at the sight of a counterfeit Of
his bank note entirely obscured his
admiration of tho art that had pro.
uuccu M---rlSlT. from MS seal, III
| formed the astonshed inventor. that
the plate from which this counterfeit
had been produced must be immcdi-
| ately delivered up; that counterfeit
ing was State, prison offence, and
that he had committed great crime;
and, unless he was prepared to com
ply, the constable must do his duty.
In vain the inventor explained that
he had made the counterfeit to show
him that the present style of printing
bank Dotcs would not be secure when
his invention was published; that he
was not counterfciter for the pur.
pose Of defrauding. But the man Of
genuine notes was memorable; and,
to prevent tho misfortune OF being
sent through the streets to com.
mon Jail, Dixo2 was obliged to go
with him to his house, and deliver
up the disputed piece OF Emo. Alter
q lecture upon the sin OF counterfeit
ing, the bank officer departed. As
he was leaving. the anger Of the irate
inventor broke forth in this exolama-
ton: "You blasted fool! DO you
suppose I can't make another ?"
