The credit of the nation from the point where

DEMONSTRATIONS OF PRINCIPLES.
First We affirm that the work IF the last
,weuty -one years has been such to COM
neud itself to the favor of the nation, and
shat the fruits OF the costly victories which
Vs have achieved through immense difficult
Ties should be preserved. That the peace re-
gained should be cherished, That the dissev-
parpetualed, and that tho liberties secured to
u is generation should be transmitted undi
sniuished To future generations. That the or
iet established and the credit acquired should
never be impered. That tho pensions prom
iged should he paid. That the debt much
reduced should I've exlinguisled by the full
payment OF ovcry dollar thereof That the
feviving industries should DO further promo
sed. and that the commerce already so great
should Ira steadily encouraged.
Second-rhe Constitution of the United
States il the supreme .aw, and not compact.
Out OF Confadera.ed States it made a nation.
Rome powers are denied the Nation, while
sthers are retained by States: but the bound
Ay between the powers delegated and those
reserved is to he determined by National and
not by State tribunals, ,..
Third-The work OF popular education is
,pe left TO the care OF The several States, but
II is the duty of the National government to
aid that work to the extent of It's oonsit utional
sbiiiy. The intelligence of the nation is but
ALe aggregate of the intelligence ia the sever
II States, aud the destiny OF the Nation must
DO guided, not by the genius Of any one
State, but the average genius of all.
...-# -sisCrARIAN SCHOOLS.
Fourtb-Tho Constitution wisely fOrbids
Congress ~ make any laws respecting An es-
sab'i.h;nS of religion, but it Is Idle I" hope
that the Nation can no protected ayainss tho
Influence of see;arianisiH while eseh Ntste IL

therefore recon mend that tie CONSTITUTION I've
~ amended as TO lay some prohibition up"a

port of sectarian schools.
Fifth--We affirm tho belief avoWed IN 1875.

Ng persisted in the state. its twin barbarity,
eolygsr,y. must die in the Territories. Tha
everywhere the pro- ection accorded 20 ci'i- |
zen Of American birth must be- secured to

duty Of Congress to develop and improve our |
water courses and harhors. bat We insist that |
sarther subsidies to private personsor corpOr- |
atoms n,nst cease. That, obligations to the |
men who preservod is integrity III the day Of |

wears since their final vtctnry. Their perpet |

Seventh-That the purity and patriotism
which characterized the earlier career Of
b. Hayes. In peace and war. and
which guided the thought of his Immediate
Predecessor tn him for Presidential candi

vNreer 6S Chief Executive, and that history |
will accord to his administration the honors
which are due TO an efficient, just and cOurag-
,ous fuiiiiment Of .Ae pubic business, and
will honor his inter POSITION between the peo-
Ne and proposed partisan laws.
