increased. and throughout the entire country
there is evidence Of . coming prosperity
greater than we have ever enjoyed. Upon
this record the Republican asks for the con-
sinued confidence and support Of the people.
and this con vention submits for their appr0-
val the following statements Of tho principles
and purposes which will continue to guic
and inspire its efforts: ...,
ENUMERATION OF PRINCIPLES.
First-We affirm that the work Of the last
twenty lone years has been such - to COM
mend itself to the favor Of the nation, ana
that the fruits of the costly victories which
we have achieved through Immense dincul-
ties should bs preserved. That the peace re-
gained should be cherished. That the dissev
cred Union, now happily restored, should b.
psrpetuatsd, and that the liberties secured to
this generation should be transmitted undi-
minishsd to future generations. Tat the or.
der established and the credit acquired should
never be imperiled. That the Rensiona prom
issd should be paid. That the debt 50 much
reduced should be extinguished by the full
PAYMENT of every dollar thereof. That the
rsviving industries should be further promo
ted, and that the commerce already 80 great
should be steadily encouraged.
Sscond-The Constitution Of the United
States is the supreme law, and not = compact.
Out Of Confederated States it made nation.
Some powers are denied tho Nation, while
others are retained by States; but the bound
ary between the powers delegated and those
reserved is to be determined by National and
not by State tribunals.
Third-The work Of popular education is
one left to the care Of the several States, but
it is the duty Of the National government to
aid that work to the extent Of its constitutional
ability. The intelligence Of the nation 10 but
the aggregate Of the intelligence IN the sever
al States, and the destiny OF the Nation must
be guided, not by the genius Of any one
State, but the average genius OF al.
NoN-SECTARIAN SCHOOLS.
Fourth--The Constitution wisely forbids
Congress to make any lava respecting An es-
tablishing Of religion. but 1t IL idle TO nope
that the Nation can be protected against the
influence Of ssctarianism while each State is
exposed to its partisular. domiuation. We
therefore recommend that the Constitution be
70 amended as TO lay some prohibition upon
the Legislature Of each State and to forbid
the appropriation Of public funds to the cup
port Of sectarian sohO0ls. -
bs ~. dvs. I s ovGrsd IN
nue. should so discriminate o. to favor Amer
loan labor. That no further grant of the
public domain should be made to any rail-
road or other corporation. That slavery hav-
ing persisted in the State. IT'S twin barbarity,
pOlygamy, must die in the Territories. That
evsrvwhere the protection accorded to . citi-
zen of American birth must be secured to
citizens Of American adoption. That it is the
duty Of Congress to develop aud improve our
water courses and harb0rs, but we insist that
further subsidies to private persons or corpor-
atiops mnst esse That theoblgationst 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.
ual honor is and shall forever be the grateful
can people. .,. ..rs...- !. d. .s,..-..
THE CHINESE PLANK.
Sixth-Sinc 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, tl'st the Republican party.
regarding the unrestricted Immigration OF
the Chinese Is an evil of great magnitude,
involves the exercise Of the power 70 restrain
and limit that immigration by the enact
ments of such Just, humane and reasonable
provisions as will produce the result.
Sevepth-That the purity and patriotism
which characterized the earlier career Of
Rutherford B. Hayes, in peace and war, and
which guided the thought Of his immediate
predecessor to him for Presidential candi |
date, have continued to inspire him in his
career IS Chief Executive, and that history !
will accord to his administration, the honors |
which are due to an efficient, just and coursg- |
eous fulfllment OF he pablo business, and |
will honor his intel. ,osition between the peo- |
pie and proposed partisan laws.
INIQUITIEs OF THE DEMOCRACY.
Eighth-We charge upon the Democratic |
psrtv the habitual sacrifice of patriotism and |
Justice TO q supreme and unsuitable lust for !
of1co and patronage; that to obtain possession !
Of the National and State Governments, and |
for the control of place and position, they |
have obstructed all the efforts to preserve the
purity and conserve tho freedom of suffrage;
have devised fraudulent certificates and re-
turns; have labored to unseat lawfully elect
ed members of Congress-, to secure ut all |
hazards the vote Of tho majority of States in
the House Of Representatives.; have endeav-
pred e occupy BY force and fraud places Of
and secured by the courage and action Of
Names patriotic sons; have BY methods
vicious In principal and tyrannical in practice
attached partisan legislation to appropriation
bills; have crushed the rights Of individuals,
