In indorsing the principles and
electinE the candidates. OF this Con-
vention.
We accuse and arraiRn the Repub.
ican party, State and National, for
every crime possible to be committed
against free people, When the war,
waged to prevent States from seced-
ing, was ended, for the shameless pur-
pose Of perpetuating its power, it false
ly and contrary to principles upon
which the war was waged, assumed
and declared that the rebelling States
Were not members OF the Union; de-
prived them of self-government;
erected military despotisms over them;
established the rule OF the bayonet;
subverted the civil powers; deprived
the inhabitants Of civil and political
rights; and finally set up carpet bag
governments; put the ballot in the
hands of the negro, and through his
ignorance, prejudice, and the criminal
rapacity Of white Republican leaders,
plunged this already Impoverished
country into $500, 100000 of useless
debt. After peace WIS restored, and
when the people were borne down by
debts, bnrdened by heavy taxes to
maintain the war, it doubled import
duties, increased internal taxes, con-
tracted the volume of currency, de-
monetized silver, required greenback
bonds and obligations to be paid in
gold, and thus hctitiously deprecated
the value OF money, debts, bonds aud
securities, and multiplied the wealth
OF the bond holder, money lender and
creditor, and increased the burdens
OF the debtor and the distress OF the
poor. Sf.

United States, then the most august
