and Liberal Republicans Of Massachu-
setts, assembled by their delegates in
convention TO consider public exigency
and organize for the great work of poiiti-
cal reform, appealing to all honest men
for cooperation in their efforts, declare
and affirm as bisis of this action:
First-We TeiteTste the declarations
conventions at Cincinnati and Balt.
more, in 1872, accepting the recent
amendments to the Federal constitution
as the full, final and permanent adjust
menI OF the political controversies Incl |
dent to the late war.
EecOnd-We demand for the Union |
support in the full vigoT of all its |
constitutional powers, rs the supreme
authority, utterly repudiating ali claim |
Of the right TO secede from the Union or
nullify its laws; and we demand for |
each State, as its equally inviOlaSl |
right, , govern il,eii according to its |
own sovereign pleasure, subject only to |
the limitations and obligations Of the |
Federal const tuition.
Third-In the intereS of public NOR. |
ais, the nations credit and the common /
vel are, we oppose any fuIt e. issue by |
the government of currency inconVeItl- |
BILE with god, the worlds recognized |
measure of value; and we favor a speedy
return to specie payments as essential to
the revival of Tue commerce, business
and credit OF the country, snd 10 the
welfare of the l4b0riDg masses,
Folrth-We srraign the Republican
party for its eXtravsgsnt expenditure
and profigate waste of the peoples mo-
ney; for its corruption; fer its pecula-
tions; for it's contempt Of constitutional
obligations; tor its eXtortiOnate increase
OF siDecures and of salaries Of our public
officers; for its oppressive, unjust and
detective system of taxation, finance
and currency, which have degraded pub
lie and private nGrslity and brought
upon US the present depression in the
commercial and industrial interests of
the country; for its Capitalization of
power and its encouragement of monOp-
olIes aud corporate corruption; for its
Of incompetent and dis
honest men in Office, and for its general
mismsnRgement Of both State and Fed
eral governments. We view with
alarm the increase in this COM
monweslth, under Republican ad-
OF the public debt, |
by prodigal appropriations for
objects not demanded by the public in
terests. We denounce unnecessary
taxation as a great crime. We demand
a reduction Of the States expenditures,
and a rigid economy and utmost limi-
tstion Of the practice Of mOrtgsging in-
dustries Of the future for GEe OF doubtful
expediency.
Sixth-The interests CT cspitai and
labor sre identical, and any any attempt
to produce aDtagOnIsms between the
two must be injurious 10 both. We IA
vor such legislation as gill secure to
both an open field and fair play, and to
both equal rights and just rewards under
law.
Seventh-We congratulate the good ]
citizens Of the commonwealth upon the
removal Of the odious prohibitory
law from the statute books, and we
expect that the pres
ent law, with such modification !
as experience shall suggest, will tend to
promote public order and morality, and
the Sest interests Of temperance.
Eighth-The Democratic party be-
lieves In the government OF the people
by the people, for the people, and there !
fore oppose constii 1tiOnsl amendments
which limit or restrict the election of
public officers by The people.
Hinth-We take an honest pride in !
the cordial and enthusiastic approval by !
the people Of the whole country, on the
OF June, 1875, OF the policy !
Of reconciliation, peace and fraternity :
advocated by the Democratic and Lib ..
srsl Republican parties in 1872, and we
" Welcome with especial satisfaction the :
assurance that that policy will he inau-
