The Republicans of New York in this centen-
Dial of the Nation reafirm the sacred truths and
principles of their fathers, and make the follow
ing declaration:
l. We are for the unity Of the Nation and the
Just rights of the Statcs for the full reconcilia
ton and enduring harmony OF all sections; for
the iDyiolate preservation OF the results OF the
war and the constitutional rights of every citizen
for the grateful recognition of the brave soldiers
of the Republic; for thorough retrenchment and
punishment of public frauds and official dishon-
erty for the ee vatiOn of the public service. and
pure and efficient Government; for maintaining
untarnished the Nationai credit and hOnor; Tor
sound currency of coin, or paper convertible into
coin, and for common schools absolutely free
| from sectarian influence.
2. We charge the Democratic party with being
the same in character and spirit as when II sym
pathized with treason; with making its control
| of the House of Representatives the triumph and
opportunity of the Nations recent foes; with re-
| asserting and applauding in the National Capitol
the sentiments OF unrepentant Rebels; with send
| ing Union soldiers to the rear, and promoting
Confederate soldiers 10 the front; with deliber-
ately proposing to repudiate the plighted faith of
| the Government; with being equally false and
imbecile upon oyershadowlng financial ques-
| lions; with thwarting the ends of Justice by its
| partisan mismanagement, and obstruction of in
yestigation through the four months OF its as
| tendency in the lower House OF Congress; with
| proving itself utterly incompetent TO administer
| the Government; and we warn the country
against trusting party alike unworthy, recreant
| and incapable.
3. Without regard to past differences, we cor
daily invite all who believe that the direction OF
| the Government should not pass into hands that
| sought TO destroy 1t, and who seek pure and
economical government by honest and capable
officers, do unite with us in fraternal and mutually
considerate Cooperation for the promotion OF
| these ends.
4. We emphatically condemn the dishonesty
and treachery of every official who is faithess to
| his trust, and approve the injunction to let nc
| guilty man, however high, escape. We believe
i the virtue OF lne people WnlCn saved the NullOI
| through the sto m Of war will preserve 1t from
the dangers OF corruption. We commend the
| good work of the National Administration in
! protecting the Public Treasury and Furnishing
! public offenders and in laying down his trust al
| the close of the period for which he has been
| chosen, President Grant will carry with him the
| lasting gratitude of the American people for his
patriotic services in war and in peace.
| 3. As statesman and patriot of the highest
ability and character, whose long and distin
guished public career is without reproach; who
has faithfully served the cause of freedom anC
Union through the great struggle of the past hf
teen years; who has been steadtast to equal right
and financial honesty, and the unhinching expo
| nent Of Republican principles, and who Possesses
| the experience, capacity, courage and hrmnes
which qualify him TO have the strength and hon
| or to govern, we present Roscoe COnkling to ih'
| National Republican Convention as our choic'
for nomination for President.
