Ii one Of the great obstacles to areyiyal
Of confidence and business, and 10 are.
turn Of prosperity, That uncertainty
can be ended In but one Way-the re-
sumption OF specie payments; but me
longer the instability connected with eur
present money system Is PERMITTED 70
continue, the greater will DO the inluty
inflicted upon our economical interests,
and all classes Of society.
II elected, l shall approve every appto,,
PIRATE measure to accomplish inc desired
end, and ahoA oppose any aep 6aekaSGrd'
The resolution with respect 70 the pub
lie school system Ia one which should re-
ceiye The hearty support OF the American
neopIc. Agitation upon this subject Is TO
be unprecedented, until, by constitutional
amendment, the schools are placed beyond
all danger Of Rectarian control or inter
ference. The Republican party Is pledged 10
secure such an amendment.
The resolution Of the Convention on the
subject Of the permanent paciGcation Of
the country, and the complete protection
Of all It's citizens in the free enjoyment Of
all their constitutional rights, is timely
and OF great importance. The condition
OF the Southern States attracts the atten.
ton and commands the sympathy Of the
people OF the whole Union. In their pro.
greasive recovery from the effects Of the
war, their first necessity is an intelligent
ndhoncst administration ofgoyernment,
which will protect all classes Of citizens
In all their political and private rights.
What the South most needs is peace, and
peace depends upon the supremacy oflaw.
There can be no enduring peace, II the
constitutional rights Of any portion Of the
people are ha6itially disregarded. A
division Of political parties, resting
merely upon distinctions OF race, OF
upon sectional lines, is always uniortu.
nate, and may be disastrous. The wei
fare Of the South, alike with that OF every
other part Of the country, depends upor
the attractions 1t can offer to labor, &c
immigration, and to capital. But labor
ers will not 20, and capital will not b
yentured, where the constitution and tn!
laws are set at defiance, and distraction
apprehension, and alarm, take the place
Of peace. loving and law.abiding socia
life. All parts Of the constitution ar
sacred. and must DO sacredly obseryed-.th'
parts that are new no less fhanthe part
! that are old. The moral and materia
prosperity ofthe Southern States can b
most effectively advanced by hearty ant
generous recognition Of the rights OF al
By ALA recognition without reserve o
exception. ,-
With such recognition fully accorded
| IL will be practicable to promote, by th
influence Of all legitimate agencies OF th
general government, the efforts Of til
people OF those States to obtain for them
selves the blessings Of honest and. capabl
\ local government. -.
Ifelected, I shall consider it not onl
my duty, but it will be my ardent desire
to labor for the attainment OF this end.
Let me assure my countrymen Of tn
Southern States that il l shall be charge
with the duty Of organizing an Admins
tration, it will be one which will regar
and cherish their truest interests-th
interestA Of the white'and- Of the colore
