!ssad this convention submits for their appr''-
va the following statements of the principles
SEE purposes which will conti"ue TO guide
NS inspire lis efforts:
ENuNERATInN OF PRINCIPLES.
Wrist We affirm that the work IF the last
tHeufy-One years has been such a. to COM
-aend itself to the favor Of the nation. and
hat the fruits of the costly victories which
~ have achieved through immense difficult
Sssss shouli be preserved. That the peace
;-sined should be cherished. That the di>Sev-
,red Unron. now happily restored, should he
@yarpetua'ed, and that the liberties secured I"
1sis generation should i've transmitted uudi-
4alnished to future generations. That the or
Ter established and the credit acquired should
~ yer be imperied. That the pensions prom
sfed should be paid. That the debt much
"sduced should he exinguished by the full
eTment of every liar thereof. That the
rsriving industries should be fur har promo
t"i, and that the commerce already great
.sond he steadily encouraged.
S-scOnd-The Constitution of the United
- ates " the supreme law aud not \ compact.
'>at of Confederaied ) ares it made nation.
'$arne powers are denied the Nation, while
e<hers are retained 10y States; but the bound
sry between the powers delegated and those
'sserved is to be determined by National and
yaos by State tribunals.
Third-The work of popular education is
r9s left to the care Of the several States, but
& IS the duty of the National government to
I'D that work to The extent of its consit utOnal
sbility. The intelligence of the nation is but
'.ae aggregate Of the intelligence in the sever |
al States, aud the destiny OF the Nation must
Ss guided, not by the genius of any one |
NON-SECTARIAN SCHOOLS.
-Fourth-The Constitution wisely fOrbids |
Congress to make any laws respecting eS- |
tsblishing nf religion. but it is idle to hope |
th.t the Nation can be protected against the |
influence OF sectaraniSm while each state Is |
exposed to its particular domination. We |
:neretore recommend that the Constitution tie |
30 amended as TO lay some prohibition upon
lae Legislature of each State aud 10 forbid |
;hs appropriation of public funds to he sup
:ort of sectaran schools.
Finh-We affirm the belief avowed in 1876.
that the duties levied for the purpose of reve-
rue should so discriminate A. to favor Amer
i%sn labor. That 10 further grant of the
VHhlic domain should be made tO-any rail-
"oad or other corporation. That slavery hav-
ing persisted in the state. Its twin barbarity,
!ulygsmy, must die in the Territories. That
Everywhere the pro ectiOn accorded to a cit-
IAN OF American birth must be secured to
~;.tizens OF American adoption. That it is the
,nty Of Congress to develop and improve our
water courses and harbOrs, but we insist thai
isrther subsidies 10 private persons or corpor-
atoms mnst cease. That the obligations to he
'pen who preserved its integrity IN the day of
Atttie are unii,ninished bv the la pse of fifteen
years since their final victory. Their perpet
'tai honor is and shall forever be he grateful |
sin people.
THE CHINESE PLANK.
'Slxth-Since the authority to regulate i'm | +
migration and intercourse between the United il
ls.leS ana nations tests with the Con- u
sEass Of the United States and its treaty b
l,2king powers, that the Republican party "
Harding the unrestricted immigration of !,
re Chinese as an evil of great magnitude.
uvoiveS the exercise of the power 20 restrain
nd limit that immigration by the enact
rsnts Of such just humane and reasonable
PROVISIONS a. will produce the result. II
Seventh-That the purity and patriotism =,
which characterized the earlier career of
rutherford B. Hayes, in peace and war. ami b
4 hjch guided the thought Of his immediate ~
Predecessor to him for a Presidential candi
late, have continued to inspirs him in his
srser a. Chief Executive, and that history b
gill accord to his administration the honors ~
oas fulfillment of re public business and "a
ciii honor his inter Iosition between the peo-
'ie and proposed partisan laws.
lNIQUICIEs OF THE DEMOCRACY.
Eghth-We charge upon the Democratic
Hrty the habitual sacrifice of patriotism and p
1stice to a supreme and Unsuitable lust for
flee and patronage; that tn obtain possession
Z tho National aud State Governments, and
or the control of place and position, they
ave obstructed all the efforts to preserve The
0rity and conserve the freednm Of suffrage;
ave devised fraudulent certificates and re-
Irns; have labored to unseat lawfully elect a.
members of Congress, to secure ut all :" -,
a1ards the vote of the majority IF States in
he House of Representatives.; have endeav- tn
red TO occupy by force and fraud places Of
rust given to others by the people of Maine, an
nd secured by the courage and action OF en-
iaine 8 patriotic sons; have by ethOds tn
s;ioUs In principal and tyrannical in practice tn
Ltached partisan legislation to appropriation
ills; have crushed the rights of individuals.
nd vindicated the principles and sought the
