and inspire its efforts:
ENUMERArI,N OF Principles.
First We affirm that the work IF the iasi
swenty -one years has heen such to COM
aend itself to the favor of the nation. aud
that the fruits of the COSTLY victories which
We have achieved through Immense difficult
ties shout be preserved. That the peace re-
gained should be cherished. That the di-sev-
cred U"IOn. now happily restored. should he
perpetu aed, aud tina, The liberties secured 10
chis generation should lie transmitted undi
n,inished to- future generations. That the or
der established and ;he credit acquired should
aaver lac Impaired. That the pensions prom
ised should lie paid. That the debr so !nnch
reduced should bs eXtiugui~h-d bv the full
payment Of every d"llar ,h-r-of That The
reviving industries shouIi be f.irrh r. promo
eel. and that the commerce. Already 80 grea,
should he steadily euruursged.
Second-Fhe ton~ti'uiinu af the United

Some powers arc denied the Nation, while
others are retained ht States; tut The hound

reserved is To be determined by National and
no. by safe tribunals.

sDiity. TIE Intelligence of The ion Is bur

that the Nation can I've projected asainSt the |
Influence Of secarianISn while each state l. |

.hereiore recommend that the CONSTITUTION im |
30 amended AS TO lay some rr"hl,ition upon
Inc Legislature of each State and to forbid |
he appropriation of public funds 10 he sup
Arrt OF sectarian schools.
Fifh-We affirm the belief avnwed in 1876
hat the duties levied for the purpose of reve-
rue should So discriminate aS to favor Amer.
oan labor. That NO further grant of the
,u bic domain should lie made to any rail-
DAD or other corporation. That slavery hav-
NC persisted in the State. ITS twin barbarity, |
'alygsmy. must die in the Territories. That
verywhere the pro ection accorded TO ci'i-
an OF American birth must ba secured to
itizens OF American adoption. That it is the
uty Of Congress to develop aud improve our
'ater courses and harhOrs. but We insist thai
brther su hsidies 10 private per~nnsor COrpOr-
tons must cease. That the obligations to the
zen Who preserved its integrity ~ the day of

ears since their final victory. Their perpet

rivilege and the sacred duty of the Ameri-
40 people. ...- .-a r.r..as ...

ress OF the United States and its treaty
