States. Those whose labor and enterprise
produce wealth should be secure in its enjoy

to the laboring classes whohave been thrown
out OF employment by the ruinous financial
policy and unjust legislation of the Rcpub-

party to the reversal of that policy and
restoration of all rights they are entitled to
upon its ascendency to power.
Resolved that there can be no legitimate
employment of organized force in this
country except to execute the law and

secured by legal methods We congratu-
late the country on the adoption of the con-
stitutional and pacific policy of local gov
eminent in the states of the South so long
advocated by the Democratic party, and
which has brought peace and harmony to
that section of the Union.
THE ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
1st.-Our unfaltering faith in the principles
and patriotism of the Republican party,
state and national, and its permanent fit
ness and ability over all other parties to
administer the government of both the
state and nation wisely and successfully.
2d.-That the Democratic party, being
largely composed of recent rebels and their
sympathizers cannot be safely entrusted
with the administration of the
OF government; that the partial
success of that party in congress as well as
In several OF the states only shows its
grossly partisan character and general in
capacity and lack of honor and patriotism.
3d.-For the financial system created by
the Republican party during the war and
in spite of the violent opposition of the
Democratic party We express our unqualified
admiration. By its provisions the people
have been supplied with a larger amount of
paper currency, safer and more uniform in
value than they have ever before enjoyed.
The credit of the nation has steadily i'm
proved, while both the principal and in
tcrest of the public debt, as well as the
burdens of national taxation, have been
steadily diminished. Such results can
only be produced by honesty, economy and
wisdom in the management of financial
affairs.
4th-We are also opposed to any further
contraction of the greenback currency and
are in favor of such currency AS can he
maintained at par with and controvertable
into coin at the will of the holder. We
are in favor of such currency being received
for import duties, and we deprecate the
defeat of the recent bill for that purpose by
the Democratic house of representatives.
5th-Thc permanent paciiication of the
Southern section of the Union and the com.
plete protection Of all its citizens in all their
civil, political, personal and property rights
is duty to which the party stands sacredly
pledged. In order to redeem this pledge it
placed the recent amendments to the con-
sttution ofthe United States, and upon the
righteous basis Of said amendments it will
90 forward in the work of pacifcation I'M
til peace shall come through right doing
and conten'mcnt through justice.
6th,--Tlat the criminal code should be
amended for the protection of depositors in
savings banks, by providing for the punish
mcnt of dishonest bank managers.
'lh-And finally, be it
Resolved, That We believe that those who
preserved the country should govern it, in
stead OF those who attempted to destroy it.
