slavery, and when the strength OF The
government of the people, by

MINIS for the good OF our country, and
lacking to the fnturo with unfalterlng
courage, hope aud purposes, we, the
representatives of the party In Nation
al Convention assem- bled, make the
following declaration OF prineiples;
First-The United States OF America
is nation, not league, and by the
combined workings Of national and
state governments under their respec-
tive constitutions, the rights Of every
citizen are secured at home and pro-
} tncted abroad and their common well
fare promoted
, Second--The Republican party has
preserved these governments TO the
hundredth anniversary OF the ma
tion, aud they are now the embodiment
of the great truths spoken at its cradle,
that ali men mr. created equal, that
rbev are endowed hy the Creator with
certain ina ienablo rights, among
