Following are the resolutions adopted by the Republican National Convention. Republican rule has restored upon a sol . id basis payment m coin for all the uationa
 obligations. and has given us a currency ab 3 solutely good and legal, and equal in every 2 part of our extended country. IL has lifted
 the credit Of the nation from the point where
 six Ter cent bonds sold at Nj. to that where , four per cent bonds are eagerly sought at a , premium. Under its administration rail
 ways have increased from 2l .0o0 miles m lSG0, to more than s2.00U in 1872. Our for , eign trade has increased from S5o0 .000.000 tC Sl, ,l50 0O0. 900 in the same time, and our ex- ports. which were Sl0000,0UN less than ouI imports in lS60, were S264 ,Oo0. .O00 more than
 oar imports in ls70. Without respTting to 1 oans. II has, since he war defrayed ordinary eypeBSes Of Government besides the ac- cruing interest on the public debt, ami dis

 interest charge from nearly SlaloloWl t0 Cess than s}g. .000. .00l. Al the industries oi
 ihe country have revived; labor is in de- mand: wages have increased. and through
 out the entire country there is evidence uf a
 coming prosperity greater than we have D ever enjoyed. Upau IhIs record the Hcpub- . n Ticauariv asks for the .CoutinuCd conf
 dence and support of the people, and thIs , Convention submits for their approval the following statePeuts of thC principle and
 purpose which will continue to guide and
 inspire its efforts:
 ENUMERATION AND PRINCIPLE. First-weaifirm that the work Of the last
 twenty -o4e years nas been such as To com
 mendStsatf 10 tHe favor of the nation. and thal the fruits of the costly victories which
 we have achieved through immense dimcuI-
 ues should7be preseTved That the peace , regained should be cherished That the disSevared Union, now happily restored.
 shordd he perPetualed. and that the liberties
 secured to tifs generation should he trans mitted undiminished tO future generations. That the order established and the credit ac-
 Juiret should iuever be ImperIled. That the pensions promised should be paid. That the deDt so mu cb reduced should 1e eN- tinguished by the full rayment of every dol lar thereof That the rcNIyiug industries should be further promoted, and that the commerce already 50 great should be s,ead- fly encouraged.
 1 Socond-The Constitution Of the United Staies is the supreme law, and noi d mere compact. Out uf tbe confederate States it l made sovereign nation Some powers are denied to the nation, while others are ra-
 taiued by the States; but the boundary be- ] tween the powers delegated and those re-
 served k to be determined by National and ! not by State tribunals.
 | 1hlrd-The work of popular education is ! one left to the care of the several States, but ! it is the duty-of the National Government Co l ait. that work to the extent of it~ constllu-
 tional ability. The intelligence the NaJion | is but the aggregate of the intelligence in the 1 several States, and the destiny oi the nation
 must beguided, not by the geniu~ of any State, but~bv the average genius of all. FOuTth--Ihe Constitution wisely forhid>
 Congress to make any law respecting an es-
 tablishment of religion, bat It k idle Co hope
 that the nation can be protected against the | influence Of SeCiarianlSm, while each State is ex posed to it's particular domination. We | therefore recommend that the Constitution ! be so amended as to lay some prohibitions
 upon the Legislature of each state. and to forbid the appropriation of the public funds | to the support of secjariau schools
 1 N-Fifth-We reailirm the belief avowed in ] 1876, that the duties levied for the purpose | of revenues should SD discriminate as Co ! favor American labor. That no further grant of the public domain should be made I to any railroad or other corporation. That l slavery having porlShCd m the States, it's | twin barbarit", pOlygaWN, must die in the Territories. That everywhere the protection accorded to citizen Of American birth must ] be secured to citizens bv American adoption ! That Il k the duty of Congress tO develop and improve our water-cpurSeS and harboTS. ! but We insist that further subsidies to pri- yate persons or corporations must cease
 
 ! served it's integrity in the day of battle are undimIuished by the lapse of fifteen Ncar~ since their final victory. Their perpetual hononIs and shall forever be the grateful privilege and the sacred duty of the Ameri- can people.
 sixth iuce the authority to regulate ina migration and intercourse bC.wcCn the United states and foreign nations rests with the Congress of the United States and is treaty making powers. that the Republican party, regarding the unrestricted Imml- grafton of the Chinese as an evil of great magnitude, involves the exercise oi tleI power to restrain and limit that immigration by tie enactment nf such just, humane aud reasonable provisions as will produce the result.
 . Seventh-Thst the purity and patriotism . which cnar3cler1es the earlier career ui Rutherford B. Hay.~ In peace and War, and
 N hirh guided the thought ,f his lm.geIi .ain 1 predecessor Co him for a Presidential ctuul- ! date, have continued Co inspire ham iu L.s career s> Chief Executive, and that history will accord Co hI~ administration thc huunr- ] which are due t.-an efficient. just 1ut Culr- . ageou, fuIh.lmcut ,f ihe public business. . ana will honor his iuterp0~Itlou between the ! people and proposed partisan laws.
 Eighth-Nc charge UppU tho Democratic l party tbe hsD!tual sacrifice oi patriotism and iu>tice to a supreme and luS9jahle lust for office and patronage: that tn obtain Tos- ! session Of tic natluHht and >iaic govern 1 men:S, and Of the control of plac. and poe stion, they have obs,ruc,ed all the efforts Co ] preserve the puritvan conserve the freedom of suffrage: have devised fraudulent certiH- : catcs ard returns; have laborCd to unscat lawfully elected members Uf Congress 10 So- l cure at alL hazards. the vote of the majority of States in the House of Representatives: have endeavored tO occupy by force and fraud places of trust given to others by the people nf Maine, and rescued bv the cpur- age and actisn of Mainc's patriotic sons: have by methods VIsUioUS in priycjplC and tyTannical in practice. attached partisan leg iStion to appropriation bills; have Crus he'd the rights >ol iudr hblals, and yindicated the principles and sought the favor of rebellion against the nation, and have endeayorcd to osliterate the sacred memories of the War and to oyeruome its inestimanle good re- sulis-freeduuI and individual equality. We atiirm il to be the duty and purpose of the Republican party to use all the legitimate meansOf ,thts Union to secure the perfect harmony which may be practicable, and We submit to the practical, sensible people of the United States to say whether it would not be dangero,.S to the best interests of our country at this time to surrender the admin isiraton of the Nationfl ttoNeIumeut to a party Which seeks 10 overthrow tHe existing policy under which we are So prosperous, and thus bring destruction and confusion where there is now order, confidence and hopo.
