"The republicans of Penn
sylyania in convention assem-.
bled reatlirm their unfaltering
faith in the cardinal principles of the
republican party and win adhere to
them so long as the contest between
right and wrong continues. Beaten
but not cast down, in the late presi-
dental election and advancing con-
iidently TO another struggle, they de.
clare that the republican party OF
Pennsylvania, proclaims Its advocacy
of the repeal ofinternal revenue taxes
except upon spirituous and
malt liquors. The rev.
enue necessary for liberal
support OF the government, and the
payment OF pensions to our disabled
soldiers, their widows and orphans,
aud OF the principal and interest OF
the public debt should be raised by
an additional levy upon imports, and
with view to lifting business from
its present condition and guarding
against future depression, we insist
not only on full protection
to all home industries, but
also upon prompt reviva
of our commercial and marine trad,
and the promotion of foreign com
merce, by aproper discount of dutie

dustry, not only through adequate
tariff laws but such as will efiectuall,

give lis competent officers, and We
not bind either the political thought
or actions of the American people
one which will give us fixed tenur
of office, and no removal during tn
term of office except for adequat
public causes. Tho necessity for th
