 ENUaIEBATIOS AND PRINCIPLE.
 First-N affirm that the worA Ot ,he las. tWeuty-one years mas been such as lJ com mend itself To the favor of tlc nation, aud that the fruits of the costly victories which Two have achieved through immense dimcul- ues should be preserved. That lhe peace regained should be cherished. That the discovered UnIon. now happily restored, should be perpetuated, and that he liberties secured tC this generation should le trans mitted uD8Iminished 70 future generations. That the order established aud the credit ac- quired should never be impericI TaAl the pensions promised should b. paii. That the deOt so much reduced should Je ex- by the full payment of every dol ! lar thereof That the reyniug industries should be further promoted. and that the 1 commerce already so great should be s,ead- ! ily encouraged.
 Stcond--'rbe Constitution Of the United | Staies k the supreme law, and not a mere compact. Out of the confederate StateS l. 1 made a sovereign nation Some powers are I denied to the nation, while others are re- ! .ained by the States; bat the boundary be- ! tween the powers dele-ated and those re ! served l, to be determined by National and ! nol by S;a,e tribunals.

 FIfth-Ne reNlErm the belief aNuWed in s16, that the duiics levied for the purpose ,f revenues should SD discriminate a, 10 ayo. American labor.
