the United States in convention assembled
in the city OF Cincinnati, June 18th and
l3th, 1876, have adopted the following
declaration Of principles for the coming
campaign, and present the same to the
National Republican Convention for their

ton seeking to abridge the personal
rights Of the citizens with respect to its
Observance, is unconstitutional.

vised in view OF the recent decision Of the
Supreme Court declaring State legisla-

same protection abroad as at home. Any
discrimination between those adopted
and those native born Is unjust, and such
