States lately in rebellion have been restored to
their former relations 10 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
irne, 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 immunites Of American citizenship
have become part Of the organic law, and a lib.
cral policy has been adopted toward all who en-.
gagged In the rebellion. Complications in foreign re-
laons 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, thu
Republican party stands pledged to correct al
abuses and carry out ali 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
fens Of the United States.
