year prepared to make still more
vigorous canvass for success; COM
mittees and clubs will be organized
in every county, and it will not

STATE ORGAN,

PRINCIPLES.
It will be devoted to the estab-
lishment of the following princi-
pies:
I. That no peace can come to a
distracted and embittered country
through either Of the old party
organizations; represent
the passions and resentments OF
sections and the wrath and hates
of a terrible civil war.
| III. That the success Of a new
party upon new issues would as
suage the evil passions Of the coun-
try; divide up the popular vote up
on new basis; destroy the race
politics Of the south, and assure
! the nation peace and repose.
III. That the powers of gov
eminent should not be used to en-
rich the few and impoverish the
many, but to arrest the aggres-
sions and cunning Of the few. In
other words s'to take care Of the
poor, because the rich can take
care of themselves"
". To this end a policy Of f.
nance is necessary which shall
insure employment to labor, pros
perity to the whole people, and
the crushing out Of all tendencies
to aristocracy and class-priveleges
v. That it is not so necessary
) to resume specie-payments for the
: benefit of the capitalist, as it is tc
! resume prosperity for the benefit
: Of the impoverished and suffering
; multitude.
+ vi. That the demonstration o.
!, silver was intended to increase the
9 value Of money at the expense O
labor, and to enrich the creditor
0 class at the expense Of the debtor
= class; it is reversion to barbarisn
and can only produce the most de
. structive consequences.
VII. That all the paper curren
cy required by the people shoult
be issued directly by the genera
government, without cost to tn
people, beyond the cost Of printing
it; and that we are opposed t.
