FOREIGN PoIICY.
In reaftirming the declaT az on of the Demo
ciples embodief by jefferson in the Declara-
ton of Independence and sar ct oned in the
Constitution, which make ours the land of lib
erty and the asylum OF the oppressed of every
nation, have ever been cardinal principles in
not sanction the importation Of for
eign labor or the admission of servl.e
or kindred for absorption into the great body
of our people. or for the citizenship which our
laws confer. American civilization demands
that against the immigration or importation
OF M0ngol4ans the &c shores our gates
be clio el. The Temocratic party insists that
it is the duty of this Government TO protect
with equal fidelity and Wig lance the rights OF
its citizens, native and naturalIzed at home
and abroad, and to the end that this pro-
lection may be assured. Unite states
papers OF naturalization sued b. courts
of competens jurisdiction must be respec. cd
by the executive and leg isittive depar meuts
of ourown Government, ami by all fore gn
powers. 1t is an imperative duty of this
ghts of persons and properly of every
American citizen in 70 'eign lanls, an de-
mani and enforce full reparation for any in
Vasion thereof. An Ame an citizen Is only
res pO1sible to his own GOV ernment for any
act done in his own country or under
her Tag, and can Only te tried there
for OIL her own soil and ac ordiug to
her laws, and no power exists in
this Governm snt to cXpatrato an Ame ic IN
citizen to be tried in any e'gn land for any
such act. This country mas nevt had we'll
e ined and g xecute1 foreign policy save un-
der Demo ats administration. That policy
has ever been in regard to foreign nations,
so Ion ? ms they DO not act detrime ltai to the
inter, sts of the country or hur ful to our citi-
Zens to let them alone. That, rs result OF
this policy we recall th 2 acquisition OF LOUIS
fNn n nj No

contrast these grand aeqHls tons OF Demo-
crat C state smanship with the purchase or
A.as, Il, the sole fruit of Rcpubl can admin

TILDEN.
With profound regret we have been APP
! riSed by the venerable statesman through
principle of publicS (aequiesconce in the
viii of the majority, that he can not permit us
the Democratic hosts, for the reason that tbe
achievement of reform in the administrator
of the Federal Gov ImeEt is an undertaking
now too heavy for his age and failing strength.
Rejoicing that his life has been pro-
longed until the general iud I'm mt of our fell
low countrym n united in the wish that
wrong were rigited i'll his person, for the De-
mOcracY of the MT cd tues we OHef To him

our devotion to the p incpes and IN cause

country from the lahors and the name

Statement If the hopes prin ip'es and
purposes of the DemCc attic party, the great
Issue of reform and ct ange in administra-
