gage that the prosecution and punish
mient of all who betray official trusts
shall be speedy, thorough and unspar-
Ing.
Sevanth-The public school system OF
the several States is the bulwark OF
the American Republic, and with a
view to its efficiency and permanence.
we recommend an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States, for
bidding the appropriation of any
public funds or property for the ben
EFT of any schools or institutions
| under sectarian control.
Eighth.-The e necessary for
current expenditures and the obliga.
ton of the public de bt must be largely
derived from duties on impOrtatiOns,
which, so far as possible, should he
adjusted to promote the interest OF
American labor and advance the
prosperity of the whole country.
Ninth-We reaffirm our opposition
to u further grants OF the public
lands to corpora o n and m~onopolies.
and demand that the national domain
remain free for homes tor our people.
Tenth.-It is the imperative duty OF
the Government to so modify existing
treaties with European Governments
that the same protection shall he at
forded to the American citizen that is
given to the native horn; that all nee
cessafy laws should be passed to pro-
tect immigrants in the absence of the
power in The s ates for that purpose.
Eleventh-It il the immediate duty
of Congress to fully investigate the eff
feet 'ot the immigration and impOrta-
ton of Mongolians upon the moral and
material interests OF The country.
Tweifth-The Republican party recog
nizes, with approval, the substantial
advance recently made towards the es-
Enlistment of equal rights for wo-
men by the many important ainenta-
ments, effected by Republican Legis-
latures, in the laws which NICER tho
personal property, relations of wives,
mothers and widows, and by the APP
pOintmeut and election of women to
educational, charities and other trusts.
The honest demand of this class OF citi-
zens for additional rights and privi-
leges and immnnities should be treat
ed with respectful consideration.
Thirteenth.-The Constitution con-
fers supon Congress sOve eign power
over the Territories of the United States
for their government, and in the exer-
else OF this power it is the right and
duty of Congress to prohibit and extir-
pate in the Territories that relic of bar
barism, polygamy, and we demand
such legislation as shall secure this
end and the supremacy of American
institutions in all the Territories.
Fourteenth.-The pledges which the
nation has given to our soldiers and
sailors must be fulfilled. The great
people will always hold those who per-
illed their lives for their country's pres
ervation in the kindest remembrance.
Fifteenth.-Ws sincerely deprecate
all sectional feeling and tendencies.
We, therefore, note with deep solIcitude
that the Democratic party counts As its
chief hope of success on the electoral
vote of the South. We invoke the ear
nest attention of the country to the
grave truth that a success thus achieved
would reopen sectional strife and i'm
peril our national honor and human
rights.
Sixteenth.-We charge the Demo.
cratic party Is being the same In char
acter and spirit AS when it sympathized
with treason; with making it, control
of the House of Representatives the
triumph and the opportunity of the
nations recent foes; with reasserting
and appending at The national capital
the sentiments OF unreperied rebellion;
with sending Union sol II RS to The
rear aud promo ing Confederate soldiers
to the front; with deliberately propos
ing to repudiate the piighted fai h of
the Government; with being equally
false and imbecile upon the evershau-
owing of the ends of justice hy its par
tisan Encouragement and obstruction
of investigation; with proving itself
through the period OF ascendency in
the lower House Of Congress, utterly
incompetent to administer the Govern
ment. We warn the country against
trusting a party thus alike unworthy,
recreant and incapable.
Seventeenth.-rhe National Admin
istiation merits commendation for its
honorable work in the management oil
domestic and foreign affairs, and Pres
ident Grant deserves the continued and
hearty gratitude of the American PEG
pie, Tor his patriotism and his immense
service in war and in peace.
