Tenth. 1t is the imperative duty of
the government. to so modify existing
treaties with European governments
that the same protection shall be afford
ed to adopted American citizens that is
given to native born, and all necessary
laws be passed to protect emigraats in
the silence Of power, in the State for
that purpose
Eleventh. 1t is the immediate duty
of Congress to fully investigate the eff
feet Of the immigration of the Mongoli-
ans on the moral and. material interests
of the country.
Twelfth, The republican. party rec
ognizes with approval the substantial
advance recently made towards the es-
Enlistment Of equal rights for women
by the many important amendments eff,
fected by republican legislatures in the
law, which concern the personal and
property relations. of wives, mothers
and widows. and by the appointment
and election of women to the superir-
Etendence of education, charities and
other public trusts. The honest de-
mands of this class of citizens for addi..
ilial rights and privileges and immuni
ties should be treated with respectful
consideration. Applause
Thirt. enth. The constitution confars
upon Congress the sovereign power
over the Territories of the United States
for their government, and in the exer-
else of this power it is the right and du
ty of Congress to prohibit and ex,irpa q
in the Territories that relic of barbar-
ism polygamy-and we demand such
legislation as shall secure this end and
the supremacy Of, American institutions
in all the Territories. [Applause
Fourteenth. The pledges which the
nation has given to our soldiers and
sailors. must be fulfilled; the grateful
people will always hold those who per-
lied their lives for the country's preser-
walton in the kindest remembrance.
Fifteenth: We sincerely deprecate
all sectional feeling and tendencies we
therefore note with deep solicitude that
the democratic party counts as its chi,
hope of success upon the electoral vote
of united South, secured through the
efforts of those who were recently ar
rayea against the nation, and we invoke
the earnest attention of the country to
the grave truth that success thus
achieved would reopen sectional strife
and imperil the national honor and hu
man rights.
Sixteenth. We charge the democrat
ic party as being the same in character
and in spirit as when it sympathized
with treason, and with making it's con-
troll of the House of Representatives
the triumph and opportunity of the ma
TONS recent foes; with reassertine and
applauding IN, the national capitol the
sentiments of unrepented rebellion; with
sending Union soldiers to the rear; with
deliberately proposing TO repudiate the
plighted faith of the government with
being equally false and imbecile upon
the overshadowing financial question /;
with thwatring the ends of justice by
its partisan mismanagemept and OBJ
struction Of investigation; with proving
itself through the period of ascendancy
in the lower House of Congress utterly
incompetent to. administer the governs
ment. We warn the country against
trusting party thus alike unworthy.
recreant and incapable. FCheers,
Seventeenth. The national admins
tration merits commentator for it's
honorable work ia, the management of
domestic and foreign affairs, and Presi-
dent Grant deserves the continued and
hearty gratitude of the American people
for his patriotism and his imminent SER
vices in war and IN peace. Cheers.
