vigorously enforced, the Work OF the
Republican party is unfinished.
Third-The permanent pacifcation OF
the Southern section of the Union and
tue complete protection of its citizens
in the free enjoyments of all their
rights, are duties to which the Republic
can party stands sacredly pledged. The
power to provide for the enforcement
of the principles embodied in the recent
Constitutional Amendment is vested by
these amendments ia the Congress OF
the United States. and all declare it to
be a solemn obligation of the Legsla-
tive and Executive Departments Of the
Government to pnt into immediate Use
aud exercise all the constitutional
powers fer removing any jast cause of
discomfort ON the part Of any class and
ior securing to every American citizen
complete liberty and eqslify ia the ex-
ereise Of civil aud political rights.
To this end we imperatively demand Il
Congress and Chief Executive, whose
courage and fidelity to those duties
shall not falter until those results are
placed beyond dispute or recall.
Fourth--In the first act of Congress.
signed by President Grant. the National
Government sought to remove any
doubts OF its duties to discharge all
just obligations to public creditors, and
solerunly pledged its faith to make a
provision, at the earliest possible mo-
ment for the redemption Of United
States notes in coin. Commercial
prosperity. public morals and national
credit demand that this promise be
fulfilled By a continuous and steady
progress to specie payments.
Fifth - under the Constitution the
President and heads of Departments are
permitted to make nominations FIR GER
tain Offices. Tie Senate is to advise
a to consent to these appointments,
aud the House of Representatives is to
prosecute faithless officers. The best
interests of the public service demand
that these distinctions be respected:
that Senators and Representatives who
may be judges and accusers, should
dictate appointments to officers. The
rules for appointments should have
reference to the honesty, fidelity
and capacity Of the appolntees, giving
to the party in power those places
where harmony aud vigor OF admins
tration require its policy to be prepre-
scented, but permitting All Others to be
filled By persons selected with sole
reference to the efficiency Of the public
service and the gifts of all citizens TO
share in the honor Of rendering faith
full service to their country.
Sixth. We rejoice that the quiekened
conscieRces of the people concerning
political affairs will hold all public Of
ficers to rigid responsibility, and en-
gage that the prosecution and punish
ment Of all who betray official trusts
shall be speedy, thorough and unspar-
ing.
seventh. The public school system
of the several States is the bulNof1 of
the American Republic, aud with Il
view to It's efficiency aud permaaence,
We recommend an amendment TO the
Constitution of the United States, for
bidding the appropriation of any pub
lie funds or property for the benefit Of
any schools or institutions under sec.
tartan control.
Ei3hth.--The revenue necessary for
current expenditures and the obllga-
ton of the public debt must be largely
derived from duties on importations,
which so far as possible, should be al
justed to promote the interest OF Amer.
lean. labor, and advance the prosperity
OF the whole country.
Ninth.--We re-aflirm our opposition
to any further grants of the public
land TO corporations and monopoIies.
and demand that the national domain
remain free for homes of OR people.
