with organizations in several coun-

vigorous canvass for success; COM

a battle a

PRINCIPLES,
It will be devoted to the cstab-
lishment Of the following princi-
pies:
/. That no peace can come to a
distracted and embit,ere1 country
through either Of the old party
organizations;-they represent the
passions and resentnents of .cc-
tons 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 a new basis; destroy the race
politics OF the south, and assure
the nation peace and repose.
III. That the powers of govern
ment should not be u-ed to en-
rich the few and impoverish the
many, but to arrest the aggres-
SONS and cunning Of the few. In
other words "to take care O. the
poor, because the rich can take
care Of themselves"
". TO this end a policy of
finance is necessary which shall
insure employment to labor, pros
perity to the whole people, and
The crushing ont OF all tendencies
to arstocracy and class privileges.
V. That it is not so necessary
to resume specie-payments for the
henc6t OF the capitalist, as it is to
resume prosperity for the benefit
of the impoverished and suffering
multitude.
VI. That the decentralization Of
liver was intended to increase the
value of money at the expense of
labor, and to enrich the creditor
class; it is a reversion to barbarism
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.
We ask all parties who agree
with US in the support of these
principles, to aid Us placing the

stroy liberty or establish it firmly
