proval the substantial advance recently made to.
ward the establishment Of equal rights for
women by the many important appointments
effected by Republican Legislatures in the laws
which concern the personal and property rela-
tions Of wives, mothers and widows, and by the
appointment and election Of women to the super.
intendcnce Of education, CHARITIES and other pub
lie trusts. The honest demands of this class Of
citizens for additional rights and privileges and
immunities should be treated with respectful con.
eideration.
49, The Constitution confers upon Congress
sovereign power over the Territories OF the United
States for their government, and in the exercise
OF this power IL ie the right and the duty Of Con
gress to prohibit and extrpate In the Territories
that relic Of barbarism, polygamy, and we demand
such legislation as shall secure this end ana the
Territories.
ID. The pledges which the Nation has given to
our soldiers and sailors must be fulflled the
grateful people Will always hold those who per-
lied their lives for the countrys preservation In
the kindest remembrance,
IS. We sincerely dcprecate all sectional feeling
and tendencies; we therefore note with deep
solicitude that the Democratic party counts ne IT'S
chief hope of success upon the electoral vote OF
the united South, secured through the efforts Of
those who were recently arrayed against the Ma
ton and we invoke the earnest attention of the
country to the grave truth that success thus
achieved would reopen sectional strife and inn
peril the National honor and human rights.
IL. We charge the Democratic party as being
the same in character and spirit as when II sym.
pathized with treason with making it's control
Of the House of Representatives the triumph and
the opportunity OF the Nations recent fOce; with
asserting and applauding in the National Capt..
tol the sentiments of unrepentant rebellion; with
sending Union soldiers to tho rear, and pro-
noting Confederate soldiers TO the front; with
deliberately proposing to repudiate the plighted
faith of the Government; with being equally
false and imbecie; with overshadOwing the
ment and obstruction Of investigation; with
proving ITSELF through the period of its ascend
ency in the Lower House Of Congress, utterly in
competent to administer the Government. We
warn the country against trusting a party thus
alike unworthy, recreant and incapable.
IA. The National Administration merits com
mendatiOn for its honorable work in the manage
ment of domestic and foreign affairs, and Presi-
dent Grant deserves the continued and hearty
gratitude OF the American people for his patriot
ism and his eminent services in war and in peace.
