Upon this cord the Republican pa-ty asks for the
Continued confidence sud support Of the opIe, and
this invention sus u,ts for Their approval the fol-
lowing statement OF the principles aud purposes
which VIII con.I to guide and inspire Its every ef
fort:
FIrst-ws IN N that the work OF the Republicans
party for the last twenty years has been such to
commend 1t to tue favor of the Nation; that the
fruits OF the costly victories which have achieved
through immense dificulr should be preserved
that the zee rega1d shoald be cherished; that the
Union should b. pei etr aud that the liberties &c
cured to this generation should be transmitted uRd
minished to future erations that the order estae
shed and the credit acquir"i should never be i'm
psir>d that the Iension should be paid; that the
debt so much reduced should be extDguishca by the
full payment of every dollsr thereof that the revy-
ing indus rie. shoald . further promot and that
the CONNER a'resdy great should be steadily en-
| courfy }.
second-The Constitution OF the Uni ed States is
supreme law and not mere contract. Out OF Confed
Grated States 1t made a sovereign Nation. SOM
powers are denied to the Nation Others deni"d t. thu
States but the 10 dary between the powers delega
ted and those resercd Is to be determined by the Ma
tional aud net by the State tribunal.
Third-Tne work of popular ducatiou IL one lef
to the cae of the ser ral ltes but 1t the duty
the National COVE ament to aid that work to the ex
tent of Its constitutional ability. The intelligence
the Nation Ii but aggregate of the Int e'gene n
the several States and that the destiny Of the NatoI
must be gaidsd not By the genius OF any one Stat
but by the acreage genius Of AL for the Constitution
wisely forbids Cep2rcs to make any law respecting
an establishment o. religion. But IL is idle to hopt
| that the Nation cla be protect against the
influence of seclarisl while each State is expose
to Its domination; we therefore recommend that thu
Constitution be 20 amended 90 to lay the same pro
hibition upon the Legislature Of each State and Il
forbid the appropriation # public funds to the sup
| port OF eects,ian schools.
Fou tn-we affirm the b:Iief ayow in 1876 tina
the dut le,i'd fer the purpC Of revenues shouk
90 discrip nate as 10 favor American sbor that M
further .nts OF the public domain should be mad'
to any railroai OF other cor ration that SLAYER,
having pc sht 10 the siafes its twin barbs-ity, po
lygap,y must de in the Territories that everywher
the protection sccorded to a citizen of American
birth must DO accorded to citizen Of American adop
ton that we I'm IL the dut. IF Coner IS to deve'
Cd and improve the water cour' es aud haibors, bu
insist that further suit ide, to private persons o
corporations nust tease; that the Obligation Of thu
Republic to the mea who pr atv- its integrity n
the hour Of battle s uu,min'sh by the lapse of II
years since their r. vicioJ; to do them honor Il
and shall fo-eye l., the rra ua privilege and sacrec
duty of the Anne NJ aPle.
Sixth Sin the authority reg ala immigration

States and the tire ty maxine power, the Republican
party, regarding the IN, 4 lei Immigration of Chi

that immigration by the enactment of such just, hu

steady and equal and complete enforcement of tn
laws, and the protection Of oil citizens In the en-
joymeat OF privileges and immunity guarantee d b
the Constitution e the FIRST duties OF the Nation
The dangers of /" Solid South can only be svoide
BY faithful performance Of every promise which th
Nation has made to the citizen. The execution Q
