Pir,t-We affirm that the work OF the
I,s, tventy.one years has been such as 10
commend itsslf to the favor Of the nation.
and that the fruits Of the costly victories
which we have achieved through immense
dificultiss should be preserved. That the
ns.ce reg.ined should be cherished, That
~. d,sseyarea TJ,ion now hsppily restored,
shonid n. narnetu.tsd. and tbst the liber.
ties secured 10 This generation should be
transmitted undiminished 70 future gener-
ations. That the order sstablished and the
credit acquired should never Do imPeriled'
That the pensions promised should % psid.
That the debt 20 much reduced should Do
extinguished BY the fun payment OF every
dollar thereof. That the rowing indns.
tries should oe further promoted, sna ,nat
the commerce already 20 great snouid %

Second-The Constitution OF the United
States Is the supreme law. and mot mere
compact. Out OF Conieosratco otAtss u
made . sovereign nation. Some powers
are denied to the Nation. while others are
retained by the States; but the boundary
between the powers delegated and those
reserved 10 to be determined by Sauona
and not by State tribunals.
Third-The work OF popular edueauon
Is one lett TO tho care OF the seVsrsi states
but 10 10 the duty OF tho NATIONAL govern
ment to aid that work 70 the extent oi Its
constitutional ability. The intelligence OF
the nation 10 but the aggregate OF the IN
telligencs In the several States, and the
destiny OF the Nation must DO guided, NOT
by the genius OF any one stA'e' ou' tne
average genius OF al.
yoy.sEcrARIAS SCHOOLS.
Fourth-The Constitution wisely forbids
Congress 10 make any laws respecting an
sst.6ii,hmsnt Of religion, but Il is idle TO
hone tbat the Nation can bs protected
,gsinst the influence Of sectarianism while
each state Is exposed TO Its particular
Nomination. We therefore recommend
that the Constitution be 30 amended ss to
lay some prohibition upon the Legislature
Of each State and to forbid the appropria'
tion Of public funds to the support of Sec
tartan schools.
Fifth-we reafdrm the belief avowed IN
1876, that the duties levied Tor the purpose
OF revenue should 30 diseriminate ~ 70
favor American labor. That no iurther
grant OF the public domain should DC made
to any railroad or other corporation. That
slavery having perished IN the otAtss' us
