THE PLATFORM.

When in The economy at Providence
his aud was to be purged OF human
slavery and when the strength of the
government OF the people, bY the people
and tor Tue people WAS 10 DC demonstrate
cd. tho Republican party came in'o pow
cr. IT, deeds have passed into IA story
and we look back 10 Them with pride IN
cited by their memories and high aims
Tor the good Ol our country and mankind,
aud looking to the future with unialtcI-
Ing courage, hope aud purpose, We, the
representatives OF the party IN National
convention assembled make the following
declaration Of principles;
lst-The United States oil America is u
nation no, q league. By the combined
workings of national STATE governments
under their respective Constitutions the
rights OF every citizen are secured III
home and protected abroad and the COM
mon welfare promoted.
2d-The Republican party has preserv-
ed those governments TO the one hun
1!redth anniversary OF the nations birth
aud they are now cmoodiments OF the
great truths spoken OF at its cradle-that
all men are created equal; that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain
inslienaUlc rights, among which are life,
LIBERTY aud The pursuit ot happiness /.
that Tor the attainment OF these ends
Governments have been instituted among
men, deriving their just powers from the
consent OF the governed. Until those
truths ale cheerlully obeyed, il needed to
be vigorously enforced, the work OF the
Republican party is uniiIished.
3d-The permanent pqcilicalion of the
Southern section OF the Union, the COM
plete protection OF all its citizens in the
Tree enjoyment OF all their rights are
duties to which the Republican party is
sacredIy pledged. The power TO provide
for the enforcement OF the principles en-
bodied 10 the recent constitutional amend
ments is vested by these amendments in
the Congress OF the United States, and
we declare il TO be the solemn obligation
of the legislative and executive depart
ment of the government 10 put into i'm
mediate and vigorous exercise ali their
constitutional powers for removing any
Just cause of discomfort on the part OF any
class and securing every American citi-
zen complete liberty and exact equality
in the exercise of all civil, political and
public rights. To this end we impera
lively demand Congress and Chief Ex-
ecutive whose courage and fidelity to
these duties shall not falter until these
results shall be placed beyond dispute Or
recall.
4th-In the first act OF Congress, as
signed by President Grant, the national
government assumed To remove any
doubts or purpose to discharge all obligs-
tons to public creditors, and solemnly
pledged its faith to make provision at the
earliest practicabeperiod for the redemp-
ton of United States notes in coin.
Commercial prosperity, public morals
and The national credit demand that this
promise be fulfilled by continuous and
steady progress to specie payment.
5lh-Under the Constitution the Presi-
dent and heads of departments are to

CONGRESSIONAL SUCCESSION. The con-
test tor Congressional nomination in
the fourth District wakes hot, Gen.
Plaisted of Bangor intends to run again,
and Lewellyn Powers OF Houlton will
contest his claims. Mr.. Powers was de-
feated 10 convention last year; and 10
fix the matter up, the right TO nominate
was conceded TO Aroostook, this year.
Oh course Mr.. Powers and his friends
expected he would receive the nomina-
ton. Now, however, the Penobscot
delegation is DESTROYS OF re-nOminating
Plaisted. Mr. Powers doubtless has
control of Aroostook, and will send dele
gates from &c arly every town. However,
he is not the sort of man Maine delights to
honor, and ifnominated his election would
be defeated by . prominent opposition
candidate.

The action of the House Monday in
he case OF Speaker Kerr was more than
just, On the part of the Republicans II
was magnanimous, and the adherents OF
that party all over the country will
warmly endorse the action OF Gen. Gar
field in securing the entry on the Hou 'e
Journal that the vole was unanimous. In
this connection it is proper to call atten-
ton To he tact that the country at large
will observe that the policy OF the Re
publicans in Congress and the Rep bican
press generally is in marked contrast with
that pursued by the Democrats toward
Mr.. Blaine and Secretary Robson.

The New Orleans Democrat., 1876-05-21

c.LvEsToN, May 19.-Another daring
...ge robbery has occurred Oh the FL
I5aso line. One stage and two hacks,
full Of passengers, were stopped by
three highwaymen, on the open prairie,
eighteen miles west Of Dallas. Before
finishing their work another hack full
Of passengers came up. On being or
dered to stop, the driver put whip to his
horses and escaped. Several shots Were
fired by the robbers and one Of them
followed the hack some distance.
The fire was returned by the passen-
gers, but no one was hurt. AS soon as
the robbers had secured their booty
which, it is reported, amounted to $1,000
they shot their own horses and mounted
the best ones belonging TO the stages
and rode off towards the Indian Nation.
From the description given it is sup
posed they were the same who recently
captured the San Antonio stages.
Mounted squads OF men started in pur-
suit.
CATER "A Galveston Ne,uS dispatch
from Fort Worth, 18th, says 'Jnforma-
tiOn just received states that ten men in
pursuit Of robbers were only ten minutes
behind them early this morning on
Grapevine Prairie. From descriptions
given it is supposed that they are the
James brothers. The entire country is
aroused and their capture Is considered
certain.
