the individuals right % transfer his
allegiance having been accepted by
European nations, il is the duty Of our
government to guard with Jealous care
the nights Of adopted citizens against
the assumption Of unauthorized claims
BY their former governments, and we
urge the continual and careful encour-
agement and protection Of voluntary
immigration.
Tenth. The iranking privilege ought
TO be abolished, and the way prepared
for a speedy reduction IN the rate Of
postage.
Eleventh. Among the questions
which press for attention is that which
concerns the relations Of capital and
labor, and the republican party recog-
nize the duty Of so shaping Legislation
as to secure full protection and amplest
field for capital, and for labor, the
creator Of capital, tie largest opportu.
mites and a Just share of the mutual
profits Of these two great servants Of
civilization.
Twelfth. We hold that Congress
aud the president have only fulfilled an
imperative duty in their measures for
the suppression of violent and treason
able organizations in certain rebellious
regions, and for the protection Of the
ballot box, and therefore they arc en-
titled to the thanks Of the nation.
Thirteenth. We %denounce the repud-
iation Of the public debt ii any form or
Disguise as q national crime. We wit.
ness with pride the reduction of the
principal Of the debt, and of the rates
Of interest upon the balance, and con.
idently expect that our excellent ma
tional currency will be perfected by a
speedy resumption Of specie payment.
Fourteenth The republican party is
mindful Of its obligations TO the loyal
women Of America for their noble de-
votion 70 the cause Of freedom. Their
admission to wider fields Of usefulness
il received with satisfaction, and the
honest demands Of any class Of citizens
for additional rights should be treated
with respectful consideration.
Fifteenth. We heartily approve the
action Of Congress in extending am-
nesty to those lately in rebellion, aud
rejoice in the growth Of peace and fra.
ternal feeling throughout the land.
Sixteenth. The republican party pro-
poses to respect the rights received by
the people to themselves as carefully
as the powers delegated by them to
the state and to the federal govern
ment. 1t disapproyes Of the removing
evils, by an Interference with rights
not surrendered by the people to either
the state or national government.
Seventeenth. Ii is the duty Of the
general government to adopt such
measures as will tend to encourage
American commerce and ship build
ing.
Eighteenth, We believe that the
modest patriotism, the earnest purpose
the sound judgment, the practical wis
dom, the iucorruptiblc integrity and
the illusinous services Of Ulysses s
Grant have commended him to the
hearts 81 the American people, and,
with him at our head, we start, to-day,
upon q new march to victory.
