srrd this convention submits for their appr"-
al Aha following Statements of the principles
,lHc EaIrposes which will continue TO guide
md Inspire It's effnri-:
ENUMERaTI"s OF PRINCIPLES.
Flrst-- We affirm THAI the work If the last
cNtcEty-one years has been such as to com
Yae,d itself to the favor of the nation, and
a!sct the fruits of the costly victories which
- have achieved through Immense diflicul-
-:6s should be preserved. That the peace re-
4rtined should berheri>hed. That the di>sev-
'-r9d Union, now happily restored, should he
rrn~petuaied, and tina; the liberties secured 10
Eals generation should he transmitted undi-
finished to future generations. That the or
Seq established and the credit acquired should
essNer be irnperied. That the pensions prom
t.ssd should he paid. That The debt so much
.rstuced should he eXinguished by The full
r1Tment of every dollar thereof That the
g. viving industries should be further promo
II, and that the commerce already so great
ssonid he steadily encouraged.
-Second--The Constitution of the United
=, sSes il the supreme law. and not a compact.
- lt Of Confederated Safes it made nation.
>~Stne powers are denied the Nation, while
'7,tsrs are retained by States; but the bound
s-'y between the powers delegated and those
- served Is to be determined by National aud
Is &C by State tribunals.
gaird-The work of popular education is |
-. left to the care Of the several States, but |
. 81 the duty of the National government to |
:. 4. that work to the extent of its constitutional
Utility. The intelligence of the nation is but |
she aggregate of the intelligence in the sever |
a STATES, and the destiny OF the Nation must
- guided not by the genius of any one
s,saial but the average genius of all.
NoN-SECTARIAN SCHOOLS.
RSwth-The Constitution wisely fOrbids |
q sugress to make any laws respecting es-
s<6iisbing Of religion. but it is idle to hope
tasN5 the Nation can be projected against the |
Sc uesice of seciariansm while each State is
@passd to its partisular domination. We
herdfere recommend that the Constitution he
s,H amended % lay some prohibition upon
zie5 Legislature of each State and TO forbid
tSia appropriation of public funds 10 the sup
saSrt 81 sectarian schools.
f'Ifth-We affirm the belief avOwed in 1876,
AT tie duties levied for the purpose of reve-
ShOnl1 a yitt,ir NAT a rs IN
can labor. That no further grant of the
bile domain should be made to any rail-
r3sd or other corporation. That slavery hav
~ persisted in the State Its twin barbarity,
FeAygamy. must die in the Territories. That
: gerywhere the pro ection accorded to citi-
-.u OF American birth must be secured to
tEeRs Of American adoption. That it is the
4&ty of Congress TO develop and improve our
sfSier courses and harhors, but we insist that
'"tther subsidies to private persons OF corpor
ti%3ns mnst cease. That the obligations to the
Zen who preserved lis integrity in the day of .
b,ttie are uniimini~hed bv he lapse of fifteen
vars since their final victory. Their perpet | !
ld honor is and shall forever be The grateful :
.~iViIege and the sacred duty of the Ameri- G
San people,.
THE CHINESE PLANK. .
SSixth-Since the authority to regulate i'm | +
n grafton and intercourse between the United il
~ @teS and foreign NAT ions Tests vii h the Con-
TsSs of the United States and its treaty
alsking powers. that the Republican party a

e Chinese an evil of great magnitude, ,
a wolves the exercise of the power 20 restrain
ID limit that immigration by the enact
cents of such just. humane and reasonable
DIVISIONS az will produce the result.
Seventh-That the purity and patriotism :,
3 ach characterized the earlier career of
b. Hayes, in peace and war. and b
%hch guided the thought Of his immediate 81
rTedecessor to him for a Presidential candi
2.e, have continued to inspire him in hls
s,reer as Chief Executive and that history o
sill accord to his administration the hOnors | ii
4 hich are due to an efficient. just and cOurag- Il
'eus fulfllment Of re public business aud 81
vii honor his inter t,osition between the peO-
lie and proposed partisan laws.
iNIQuITIEs OF THE DEMOCRACY.
Eighth-We charge upon the Democratic
,arty the nabtual sacrifice of patriotism and P
s.stice to a supreme and Unsuitable lust for
flee and patronage; that tn obtain possession
4 the National and State Governments, and
or the control Of place and position, they
ave INSTRUCTED all the efforts to preserve the
,urNy and conserve the freedom Of ~uffrage;
ave devised fraudulent certificates and re-
urns; have labOred to unseat lawfully elect a,
"a members of Congress, to secure at all 70
la2ards the vote of the majority of States in
ae House of Representatives.; have endeav- tn
'sed to occupy by force and fraud places OF
rust given to others by the people of Maine, al
ud secured by the courage and action of Ell
1sine patriotic sons; have by methods th
-se,ous in principal and tvrannical in practice tn
ttached partisan legislation to appropriation
ills; haye crushed the rights of individuals,
nd vindicated the principles and sought the
Svor OF rebellion against the Nation, and en-
ave endeavOred to Obiiterate the sacred
memories of the war and to overcome its in =
