The anti. Chinese resolution in the Chi
cago platform, as actually adopted, is a
singularly feeble affair; but it seems even
more feeble when compared with the
resolution which the committee origin.
ally intended to report, which we take,
as follows, from the New York Evening
Post;
Resolved, That in the judgment of this
convention the international treaty now
existing between the Government of the
United States and the Government of
China should be so amended or modi
fed, that further emigration, exceUt for.
purpose of commerce, travel and educa.
ton, should be restricted; that the exist.
ing commission to the Chinese Govern.
ment should be urged to speedy and de.
cisive action, to regulate and restrict the
inflow of Asiatic people to u country,
and the Congress Of the United States
ought, without delay, and as a matter of
national Importance and urgent n%eCessi-
ty, to pass the laws necessary to limit
and restrict Chinese emigration to our
country.
ReSOlved. That the Republican party is
opposed to the emigration to this count.
ry of all persons incapable of becoming
citizens under existing lave; and that the
Republican party, in the interest of la
Dor and good government, pledges itself
to enforce this resolve by appropriate
legislation.
Gen, Garfield voted against the anti.
Chinese bill in the last Congress, and
sustained Hayes's veto Of it. 1t is diff.
cut to see how this will add to his avail.
ability in the Pacific states. California,
Oregon and Nevada, with their twelve
electoral votes, may be counted sure for
the Cincinnati nominee.

Ny DEAR SIR l am not a lawyer, nor

full of danger to the cause of freedom

of the military power, through military
tribunals, created for the trial of offences

mitted, when the ordinary powers of the

charged with the administration of the

Gen. Winfield S. Hancock rendered
service in thu field during the war of the
highest Importance to the country; but
the services he rendered after the close
of hostilities were of i~ncalculable value,
and deserving of everlasting remem-
brance. As commander of the Depart
ment of Missouri (1S66 y and of the De.
partment of Louisiana and Texas 1857 81
he had to deal with civil questions re.
curing the best craftsmanship and the
soundest judgment; and the way in which
he dealt with them showed that he pos
sessed the qualities necessary for their
proper decision. In times of peril to the
constitutional rights of the States and to
the fundamental liberties of the people,
he went to the full extent of his power
in maintaining those rights and liberties
and made for himself a record that the
American people must keep before their
eyes in the days that are now upon US,
We have brought together from his Or
ders, letters, and speeches, while COM
manding the departments just named, a
few passages Of profound, permanent and
practical interest.

to the ciul-The principles of american
liberty our lawttd Inheritance,
The General Commanding is gratifed
to learn that peace and quiet reign in
this department. 1t will be his purpose
to preserve this condition of things. AS
a means to this great end, he regards
the maintenance of the civil authorities
in the faithful execution of the laws as
the most efficient under existing circum.
stances,
In war it is indispensable to repel force
by force, and overthrow and destroy OPP
position to lawful authority. But when
insurrectionary force has been over
thrown and peace established, and the
civil authorities are ready and willing to
perform their duties, the military power
should cease to lead, and the civil ad-
ministration resume its natural and
rightful dominion. Solemnly impressed
with these views, the General announces
that the great principles of American
liberty are still the lawful inheritance of
this people, and ever should be. The
right of trial by jury, the habeas corpus,
the liberty of the press, the freedom of
speech, the natural rights of persons, and
the rights Of property must be preserv.
ed.
Free institutions, while they are es.
sential to the prosperity and happiness
of the people, always furnish the strong
est inducements to peace and order.
\ Il \ While the General thus indi-
Gates his purpose to respect the liberties
of the people, he wishes all to under
stand that armed incursions or forcible
resistance to the law will be instantly
suppressed by arms.
