by the genius Of any State, but by the

by the genius of any iNtates, but by tht
 average genius of all.
 Fourth-Thc Constitution wisely for
 bids Congress to make any laws respect ing an establishment of religion; but it is 1 idle to hope that the nation can be pro- ] tected against the influence of ssctarian. ism, while each State is exposed to its
 particular denomination. We therefore
 recommend that the Constitution be SC
 amended as to lay some prohibitions upon the Legislature of each State, and to for bid the appropriation of the public funds
 to the support of sectarian schools. Fifth--We reaffirm the belief avOwed in | 1876. that the duties levIed for the purpose of revenues should so discriminate as-to favor American labor. That no further grant Of the public domain should be
 made to any railroad or other corpora ton.
 That slavery having perisaed Tn the States,
 it's twin barbarity, polygamy, must die in
 protection accorded to a citizen of Ameri-
 can birth must be secured to citizens by
 American adoption. That It is the duty
 of Congress to develope and improve our
 water courses and harbOrs, but we insist
 that further subisdIes to private persons
 or corporations must cease. That the Ob-
 legations to the men who preserved it's
 integrity in the day of battles are undi-
 unfinished by the lapse of fifteen years since their final victory. Their perpetual honor is and shall forever be the gi ateful privilege and the sacred duty of the American people.
 Sixth-Since the authority to regulate immigration and intercourse between the United States and foreign nations rests wi:h the Congress of the United States and it's treaty making powers, that the Republican party, regarding the unre- stricted immigration of the Chinese as an evil of great magnitude, involves tho ex- crcise of the power to restrain and limit that immigration by the enactment of such just. humane and reasonable pro- visions as will produce the result.
 Seventh-That the purity and patriot ism which characterizes the earller career of Rutherford B. Hayes in peac! and war, and which guided the thought of his lEl- mediate predecessor to him for a PresI- dential candidate, have continued to in- spire him in his career as Chief Execu- tive, and that history will accord to his administration the honors which are due to an efficient, just and courageous full tilment of the public business, and will hoEor his Interpretation between the peo- pie and proposed partisan laws.
 Eighth-We charge upon the De:slo- cratic party the habitual sacrifice of pa triOtisM and justice to a supreme and unsuitable lust for ortice and patronage; that to obtain possession of the nat'onal and State government, and the control of place and position. they have obstructed All the eiIorts 10 preserve the purity and conserve the freedom of suffrage; have devised fraudulent certificates and re- turns; and have labored to unseat law fully elected members Df Congress, to secure at all hazards the vote of the ma jority of States in the House of Represen- tatives; have endeavored to occupy by force anu fraud places of trust given to others by the people uf Maine. and res cucd by the courage aud action of Maine's patriotic sons; have by methods vicious in principle and tyranical in practice. at- tached partisan legislation to appropria- tion bills; have crushed the rights of in dividusls, and vindicated the principles and sought the favor of rebellion against the nation, and have endeavored to obit- ] crate the sacred memories of the war and l to overcome its inestimable good results | and individual equality We l affirm it to be the duty and purpose of the ! Republican party to use all the legitimate means of this Union to secure the perfect | harmony which may be practicable, and ! we submit to the practical, sensible peo- pie of the United States to say whether it would not be dangerous to the best inter- | ests of our country at this time to surren- der tLe administration of the National l to a party which seeks to | overthrow the existing policy under which we are so prosperous, and thus bring de struction and confusion where there is now order, confidence and hope.
