laws should be passed TO protect emf
grants, in the absence of power in the
States for that purpose.
Eleyenth.-It is the Immediate duty
of Congress to fully investigate the
effect of tho Immigration and importa-
ton Of Mongolians upon the moral and
material interest of the country.
Twelith-Tho Republican party rec
ognizes with approval the advance re-
Gently made toward the establish
rnent CT equal rights for women by
the many impartial amendments
affected by Republican Legislatures in
laws which concern the personal and
property relations of wives, mothers
and widows, and by appointment and
election of women to superintendency
of education, charities and.other public
trusts, the honest demands of this class
of citizens for additional rights and
privileges and immunities should be
treated with respectful consideration.
Thirteenth. The constitution confers
upon Congress sovereign power over
the erritories Of the United States
for their government and exercise
Of this power. 1t is the right and
duty of Congress to prohibit and
extIrpate in the territories that relic OF
barbarism, polygamy, and we demand
such legislation as shall secure this end
and the supremacy of American insti-
tulions in all territories.
Fourteenth.-The pledge 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 kindred remembrance.
Fifteenth.-Wo sincerely depricate
all sectional feeling and Tendencies we
THEREFORE note with deep solicitudo that
the Democratic party counts, as its chief
hope Of success, upon the electoral vote
OF a united South, secured through the
efforts Of those who were recently ar
rayed against tho nation; and we in
woke the earnest attention Of the coun-
try TO the grave truth that q success
thus achieved would reopen sectional
strife and imperil the national honor and
human rights.
Sixteenth charge the Democrat
ic party as being the Same in character
and spirit IS when it sympathized with
treason with making It's control of the
House Of Representatives the triumph
and the opportunity of the nations
recent foes, with rcasserting and APP
plauding in the National House Of Rep
resentatives the sentiments Of unre-
pented rebellion; with sending Union
soldiers to TO the rear and promoting
Confederate soldiers to tho front; with
deliberately proposing to repadiate tho
plightcd faith Of the government; with
being equally false and imbecilo upon the
overshadowing financial question; with
thwarting the ends Of justice by its par
tisan management and obstruction of in
vestlgation, with proving itself through
tho period af its as3cndency in the
Lower House of Congress, utterly in
competent to administer the govern
ment. We warn The country against
trusting party thus alike unworthy,
recreant and incapable.
ScveHtccth.-The national admins
tratl0n merits commentator for it's
honorable work in the management Of
domestic and foreign affairs, and Presi-
dent Grant deserves the continued and
hearty gratitude Of tho American people
for his patriotism and his immense SER
vice in war and in peace.
