PRINCIPLES.
} 1t twill be devoted to the estab-

> l. That no peace can come to a
t distracted and embittered country
through either Of the old party
5 organizations they represent
9 the passions and resentments of
sections and the wrath and hates
n Of terrible civil war.
b II. That the success of new
e party upon new issnes would as
il suage the evil passions of the coun-
t try; divide up the popular vote up
70 on new basis; destroy the race
TO politics of the south, and assure
N the nation peace and repose.
is III. That the powers of gov
l. !, eminent should not be used to en-
% rich the few and impoverish the

Of sions and cunning of the few. In
&c other words "to take care Of the
