every appropriate measure to accom- plish
the end desired, aud shall oppose any

The resolution with respect to the
| public school system is one which GER
tainly should be heartily supported by
American people. Agitation upon this
snhject is to be apprehended until by
constitutional amendment the schools
are placed beyond all danger OF secta-
! rlan control or interference. The Re-
publican party is pledged to secure such
an amendment.
The resolution of the Convention OH
the subject OF permanent pacification of
the country and the complete protection
of all the citizens in the free enjoyment
of all their constitutional rights is timely
and of great importance. The condi-
tion of the Southern States attracts the
attention and commands the sympathy
of the people of the whole Union In
their progressive recovery from the
effects OF the war, the first necessity is
an intelligent aud honest administration
OF the government which will protect
all classes of citizens In all their poIiti-
cal and private rights. What the
South most needs. is peace, and peace
depends upon the supremacy of law.
There can be 10 enduring peace it the
constitutional rights of any portion of
the people are habitually disregarded.
A division OF political parties resting
mainly upon distinctions of race and upon
sectional liEes is always unfortunate and
may be disastrous. The welfare of the
South, alike with that OF every other
part of the country. depends upon the
attractions 1t can offer to labor, to immi-
grafton and to capital; but laborers
will not go and capital will not be ven
tured where the constitution and the
laws are set at defiance, and distraction.
apprehension and alarm take the place
of peaceful and law abiding social life.
All parts of the constitution are sacred
and must be sacredly observed; those
parts that are new no less than those
parts that are cd. The moral and ma
terial prosperity of the Southern States
can be most eff.ctually advanced by
a hearty aud generous recognition of |
the rights of all, by recognition with |
out reserve or exception. With such |
a recognition fully accorded, it will be
practicable to promote by the influence
OF all legitimate agencies OF the general |
government: the efforts OF the people of /
these States to obtain for themselves /.
