s ,sa following propositions of political
a. r;rst--A sacred adherence to the
,,;nciples of government declared
pad mt in practical operation by the
t1h Of the republic.
sSecond-Opposition to agg ressions
hr either department of the govern
=! mon the functions ofthe others,
~. u. to the exercise by Federal author

sS;tion Of servitude.

TO- +, railroad, steamships or other com.
Seventll-The preservation of the

same.
Eicht-That the contraction of the
currency heretofore made by the re-
{. nnhlican party, and the further con-
traction proposed by it, with a view
to the forced resumption Of specie
navmept, has already brought disas-
ter to the business of the country,
and threatens it with general bank
rnntcy and ruin. We demand that
this policy be abandoned, and that
the volume of currency be made and
kent equal to the wants of trade,
leaving the restoration Of legal ten
der to par with gold, to be brought
shout BY promoting the industries of
the country, and not by destroying
them.
That the policy already in
itiated by the republican party OF
abolisbing legal tenders and giving
national banks power to furnish. all
the currency, will increase tho pow
er Of an already dangerous monopoly,
and the enormous burdens now op-
pressing the people without any com-
pensating advantage, and that We op.
pose to this policy the demand that
an tho national bank circulation be
promptly and permanently retired,
and legal tenders be issued in thei,
Place. !.
Tenth-That the public interest de.
mands that the government should
ccsss to discredit its own currency,
and make ito legal tender receivable

pect for the obligation Of contracts

half Of the customs in legal tenders

present national banks and the es
Enlistment in their stead Of a sys
tenn Of free banks Of discount only
under such regulations as the State
. may respectively prescribe, and NJ
paper currency, except such as ma.
10 issued directly by and upon tn
faith of the general government.
TWelfth-A tariff for tho sole pur
pose Of revenue.
Tbi,tecntll.-We favor the com
plete separation of church and State
Independent and absolute freedom o
opinion equal and exact justice t.
III religious societies, and purely &c
euhr education at the expense Of tn
taxpayer, without division among o
