the following dec!sra' ionf:
Fi'st-For nearly quarter OF a century
the Republican party, through its wist
Statesmen, sctlng from Wisu policy, has
sustained the National integrity; it has
founded and maintained q currency ur
equalled in the anra!a Of the world, cur.
rency that meets all the wants Of the
people, and tllst by its three fold form o.
specie, National bank notes aud greer.

Atty by its wise aud discriminating policy
Of encouraging public school education; i

AnteCd to actual settlers Of whRtpye,
nationality, bona file ownership in thu
national domain; 1t has made liners! pro
vision for tho internal commerce OF iht
nation by appropriations for interna! i'm
provements; it has protected American in
uustry from the competition OF psuper Ia
Dor in the old world by a wise and dis
criminativs protective tariff; within nine
teen years alter the close OF war that hac
well nigh Impoverished the resources and
credit OF the country it has filled our II tas
ury 10 rep!etion, re-establshed our csed!
so that it ia sec0ud to that of no other Ma
tion, brought prosperity TO ell the peop!e
and to all branches Of business, and wni)t
it has largely reduced taxation, has q; tht
same time reduced the public indebtedness
over 81 800. 100000.

people have an stsusarce OF its wisdom
and good faith for tho future; aud We con.
fdently predict, TINT in the coming can
vass its record will be endorsed BY the PEG
pie, 50 that prosperity and peacs may con
tinue to reig.. throughout tho length and
breadth Of the land.
Second.-We denounce the presea D an
ocratic House-of Representatives for it:
tampering with the iaritr which was thor
onghly and carefully revised by the laHl
Congress. because 1t tends to create distrus
and alarm in our commercial relations, Il
cripple the general business OF the Coun
Try and to deprive the working classts o
that fair and reasonable protection which
their interests imperatiyely demand.
Thiid-We arraign the Democratic part,
Of IVES. Virginia for having, in time O
peace and prosperity, created public deb
Of over $500 900 in violation OF the exprel
provisions OF our constitution; and We de
mand that the extravaeant expenditur
and waste Of tho public funds which ha
forced tina. debt upon the S a'e shall ceses
and that the affai,s OF the State, 10 all It
departments, ahall be economically admin
istered to the end that the debt which la
been illegally incurred may be paid witt
out increase Of taxation. 1.19

rate OF taxation compatible with the rubli
interest, and with lhnrough and etli.ie,
maintenance CT public institution 8.

the people oppressive assessments for th
purpose Of providing for deficiencies occf
