PRINCIPLES.
1t will be devoted to the estab--
lishment Of the following princi-
pies:
|. 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 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 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-
slons and cunning of the few. In
other words 'to take care Of the
poor, because the rich can take

class; it is reversion to barbarisms
and can only produce the most de-
structive consequences.
VII. That all the paper curren-
cy required by the people should
be issued directly by the general
government, without cost to the
people, beyond the cost of printing
it; and that we are opposed to-
the withdrawal Of the greenbacks-
