Below is given he text OF the platform reso
!utions adopted by the Republican National
Convention at Chicago:
Republican rule has restored upon a solid
basis payment in coin for all the national OBJ
legations, and has given us a currency abso-
lately good and legal, and equal IN every
ySsrt OF our extended country. 1t has lifted
s+e credit VI the MAJ ion from the point where
ftZ per cent. bonds sold at Sc, to that where
four per cent. bonds are eagerly sought at a
premium U der its administration rail ways
have increa-ei from p 900 miles in 1860 to
rIor- than 81, 900 miles i'm 1879. Our foreign
'y"ae has increased from 500 OOO, 900 to 81 l50-
y 600 ~ the same time, and our exports,
uosa Mere S2O,OO0,OO0 less than our imports

IS. w.. ard he Republican asks for the con-
BE- .l,aI oo,.tidence and support of the people,
e..,! rs convention submits for their appro-
v ts- following statements of the principles
.,,u GurpO-es which will cont "ue to guide
aui INSPIRE its .tfnrt-:
ENUMERATI, OF PRINCIPLES.
Cirst-We affirm that the work ef the last
twenty-one years has been such as to com
nl.nd itself to the favor of the nation, and
Mat he fruits of the costly victories which
". have achieved through immense difficult
SIS Shonli be preserved That the peace re-
- ted should be cherished. That the dssev-
t-,i Uoion, now happily restored, should be
.t,.uated. and thai The liberties secured to
81 generation should he transmitted undl-
g.I qIshed 10 future generations. That the or
tor >tabIshed and the credit acquired should
ever he imperiled. That the pensions prom
ID should he paid. That the debt so much
S.. uced should be eXtngui>hed by the full
reviving industries should be further promo
ted. and that the commerce already so great
shouid he steadily encouraged
Second-The Constitution of the United
Il .tes il the supreme law. and not a compact.
t'Gt of Confederated Staes it made nation.
some powers are denied the Nation, while
others are retained by States: but the bound
a~y between the powers delega ed and those
'-arved is to be determined by National and
-. by State tribunals
.ird-The work of popular education is
N.. left TO the care of the several States, but
the duty of the National government to
nj that work to the extent Gifts constitutional
ability. The intelligence of the nation is but
tAe aggregate of the intelligence in the sever
- States, and the destiny OF the Nation must
ne guided, not by the genius of any one
state, but the average genius OF all.
NoN-SECTARIAN SCHOOLS.
Feurth-The Constitution wisely forbids
Congress to make any laws respectng an es
tabishing of religion but it is idle to hope
that the Nation can be protected against the
Influence of sectarianiSm while each State Is
aA posed to its particular domination. We
therefore recommend that the Constitution be
50 amended as to lay some prohibition upon
the Legislature of each State and to forbid
She appropriation of public funds TO the sup
port of Sectarian schools.
Fifth-We affirm the belief avowed in 1876,
that the duties levied for the purpose of reve
uue should so discriminate as to favor Amer
4'au labor. That no further grant of the
nu bic domain should be made to any rail-
road or other corporation. That slavery hav-
ing persisted in the State. Its twin barbarity,
] .uiygamy, must die in the Territories. That
G vervwhere the protection accorded to a citi
ian of American birth must be secured to
citizens of American adoption. That it is the
duly of Congress to develop and improve our |
water courses and harbors, but we insist that |
further subsidies to private persons or corpor- |
atoms mnSt cease. That the obligations to the |
men who preserved its integrity in the day of
battle are undiminished by the lapse of fifteen !
years since their final victory. Their perpet |
usl honor is and shall forever be the grateful |
and the sacred duty of the Ameri- |
can people.
THE CHINESE PLANK.
Sixth-Since the authority to regulate i'm
migration and intercourse between the United |
States and foreign nations rests with the Con-
gress of the United States and its treaty
making powers, That the Republican party,
regarding the unrestricted immigration of
the Chinese as an evil of great magnitude,
involves the exercise of the power 20 restrain
and limit that immigration by the enact
ments of such just, humane and reasonable
provisions as will produce the result.
Seventh-That the purity and patriotism
b. Hayes, in peace and war, and
which guided the thought of his immediate
predecessor to him for Presidential candi
late, have continued to inspire him in his
;areer as Chief Executive, and that history
will accord to his administration the honors
" hch are due to an efficient, just and courag-
sous fulfillmen of me public business, and
will honor his inter ,ositiOn between the peo-
Pic and proposed partisan laws.
INIQUTrIEs OF THE DEMOCRACY.
Eighth-We charge upon the Democratic
party the habitual sacrifice of patriotism and
Justice to a supreme and Unsuitable lust for
,lIlce and patronage; that to obtain possession
IF the National and State Governments and !
or the control of place and position, they &
rave INSTRUCTED all the efforts to preserve the
purity and conserve the freedom of suffrage: !
rave devised fraudulent certificates and re.
urns; have labored to unseat lawfully elect /
ID members Of Congress, to secure at all I
hazards the vote of the majority of States in
he House of Representatives.; have endeav- :
red to occupy by force and fraud places Of i
rust given to others by the people of Maine t
nd secured by the courage and action of !
'Iaine patriotic sons; have by methods ;
icious in principal and tyrannical in practice 1
ttached partisan legislation to appropriation i
ills. have crI1Shad the rights IF individuals
