The convention reasml.l.,J at p, o'clock Friday morning. The Committee- on Resolutions ,(r sented their report. 1 1. following U the platform in full as teportcd and adopted : We, the Liberal Republicans af the United States, in .National Convention astemtded at Cincinnati, proclaim the following nnn' oiplee ae essential to jam (ovemsneut , First We recojn x the equality of ansa betöre th law, and hold that it ia tbe dutT of the Government, in ita dealings with th' people, to mete out eMual and exact luetics to all, of whatever nativity, race, color or persuaaion, religious or political. Stcond We pledge ourselves to maintain the law, the union ef these States, eniancipation and enfranchisement, and to BMaej any reopening of the. questions settled by the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the Constitution. Third We demand the immediate and absolute removal of ail disabilities imposed on account of the rebellion, which was final. If subdued seven years ago, believing that universal amnesty will result in complete pacification iu all aectiona ot the country. Fourth Local self-government, with im. partial suffrage, will guard the rights of all citizena more securely than any cejiralixed power. Tbe public welfare require! the supremacy of tbe civil over the military authority, and freedom of person under the protection of ihe kabca corpus. We demand for the individual the largest liuertv, consistent with public order, for the 8tate self-government, and for the nation to return to the methods of peace and the coastitutional limitations of power. Fifth The civil service of the (saves B ment has become a mere instrumnt of i. irusan tyranny and personal stun. iou iuJ aa object of selfish greed. It is a soaudal and a reproach upon free institutions, and breeds a demoralization dangerous lo the perpetuity of a republican Government. Hüth We therefore regard a thorough reform of the civil service as one of the most pressing necessities of the hour; tbst honesty, capacity and fidelity constitute the only valid claims to public employment, that the offices of GoTern rent cease to be a matter of arbitrary favoritism and patronage, and that public a'atiou ahall become again the post of honor. To this end u ,. imperatively required that no President shall be a Candidate for re-election. Seventh The public credit nauet be aacredly maintained, and we denounce repudiation in every form and guise. Eighth A speedy return to specie perineal is demanded alike by the highest considerations of commercial morality and honest Government. y,nth We remember with grat tude the heroism and tacrifieea of the aoldiera and tailor of the Republic, and ne act of ouri shall ever detract from their justly earned tame or the full rewards of their patriotism. Tinth Weareoppoted to all further gran. t of lands to railroads or other corporations. The publio domain ahoald be held sacred to actual settlers. Eleventh Vie hold that it ia the duty of the Government, in its intercourse with for eign nations, to cultivate tbe iriendships of peace tty treating wilh all on fiir und Meal L run ; regarding it alike dishonorable either to demand what is Lot right, or to submit to what is wrong. ' Twelfth -For the promotion aud success of tne several principles ami support of the candidates nominsted by this conveu'ioa, wo invite and cordially welcome Hie cooperation of all patriotic citizens, without regard to previous political amliations.
