PRINCIPLES.
It will be devoted to the estab-
lishment Of the following princi-
Piles:
l. That no peace can come to a
distracted and embittered country
through either Of the old party
organizations; they represent
the passions and resentments Of
sections and the wrath and hates
of a terrible civil war.
Ii. That the success of new
party upon new Issues would as
suage the evil passions Of the coun
try; divide up the popular vote up
on a new basis; destroy the race
politics of the south, and nssure
the nation peace and repos~.
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

poor, because the rich can take
care of themselves"

insure employment to labor, pros
oerity to the whole people, and

o aristocracy and class-priveleges.
V. That it is not so necessary

benefit Of the capitalist, as it is to
esume prosperity for the benefit
# the impoverished and suffering
multitude.

silver was intended to increase the
value of money at the expense Of
abor, and to enrich the creditor
class at the expense Of the debtor
class; it is reversion to barbarism
and can only produce the most de-
consequences.
VII. That all the paper curren-
~ required by the people should
% issued directly by the general
government, without cost to the
people, beyond the cost of printing
t; and that we are opposed to-
he withdrawal of the greenbacks-
