We are nov entering upon the
closing year of the first century Of
American Independence; and il be
hooves the Republicans Of Pcnnsyl-
yania, who believe heartily not only
10 tio words but in the spirit of the
Declaration Of Independence, 50 show
their faith by their works, anil rally
firmly and unitedly TO the support OF
their principles. We counsel them,
IN view of tho intorosts which ara at

cronces; to organize actively and
efficiently to present none but good
aud true men .or local Offices; and
standing firmly by what they bolieye
and know 10 be right, demonstrate
their claim TO public confidence. The
second century Of our national exist
encs should begin as the first one
did, by supreme devotion to Re.
publican principles, to which only II
Republican administration, in State
or nation, can be or will be faithful.
Tie experience Of the past furn.
ishes abundant evidence that the
best interests OF the people demand
the continuance of tho enlightened
and liberal course OF the Republican
party in its we'll defined ond clearly
announced purpose 10 foster tho az
.ricultural, industrial and commercial
iuterests Of tho country in its poll.
cy which has led to reduction OF
seventeen millions OF the State debt
and six hundred millions OF the Ma.

OF internal improvements having for
their object the snlargemonts OF ia
cilities and reduction in the cost OF
transportation for our inter. State
commerce in its firm adherence to
an iudissoluble Union aud to the
unity and sovcreignty Of ths nation
in its honest aud faithful administra-
ton Of the lava; and in its stcrn DC
votion to the priciplos Of truth and
progress. Firm in that conviction
we confidently present our platform
and candidates for public support
thoroughly assured that in their sue +
cess will be found tho true and only
road to National Unity, National
Progress and Natio nal Prosperity.
BY order Of tho Conmittoo.
