Umlom Kepultllcaa riuUurm. 1. We congratulate the country on the assured nucceiis of the reconetrgjtllon policy of Congress, ns evidenced by the adoption in n majority of the States lately in rebellion, of constitutions scouring equuj politliul rights to ull and regard It «• the duty of the Government to SttMiil'i 111 one constllupops, and lu prrymA the people of euoh Stole* from bolng remitted to h mate of anarchy or military rule, 2. The guarantee by Congress of equal «us fruge to all loyal men in theSontli wasdeumn ded by Ofery consideration of public safety, ol gratitude aiid justices and must be maintained, while the queitlon of suffrage in ollUhe loyal Htatea property belong* to the pooplb of those States. j 3. We denounce all forms df rejiadiation as a nntimml crime, and our imtionafhoiior re* fHiires.tl)e payment of the publifc lndeblouness in tlie utmost good faith, to oar fcn;dUo,. r s «t home and abroad, not only according to the letter but the spirit of tlie laws und-<r which it was contracted. 4. It Is due to tlie laborers of tlie nation that taxation should be equalized and reduced as rapidly as tlie national faith will permiti>. Tlie uatlomil debt, contracted as it has been for tlie preservation of tho Uiilon for ail time to conio, should be extended over a fair period for redemption, aqd it is the duty of Congress to reduce the of interest thereon whenever it can honestly, bo done. 6. That the begt policy todfmtnish our burden of debt 4a to HO iitipxoye qpr credit that capitalists will s.eali to loan us money at Itrwer rates of interest tlinru wt uow pay and must continue to pay so long ns repudiation, partial or tota), open ox covert, is threatened or suspected. 7. The government of the United States should be administered with the strictest ecoqo.ipy. The corruptions w iiich Imve been so shamefully nursed und fostered by Audiew Johnson call loudly for radical inform 8. We profoundfy deploie the untimely and tragic dentil of Anraham Lincoln, and regard us u national calamity the ascension of Andrew Jolmsou to the P-tasideney, who ha* acted treacherously to tlie people who elected him • and to the cause he was pledged to support; has usurped high legislative and judicial functions; has refused to execute the laws; lias used liis high office to induce otiier officers to ignore and violate the iaws; has employed his executive power to render insecure the livee, property, peace . and liberty of citizens; has t|ie pardoning power; has denounced thp nqlipnal legislature as unconstitutional; lias persistently and corroptediy resisted, by eyeyy measure iu bis power, every proper attempt at tlie reconstruction of the States lately in rebellion; hag perverted the public patronage into aiiengineof wholesale corruption; ana has been justly impeached of high crimes and misdemeanors and properly prpnounced guilty thereof by tne votes of thirty-five Senators. 9. Tbe doctrine of Grant Britain and ether European pojrqrs that because a man in once a subject he is always so, muet be resisted at every hazard by the Upifed States a as relict of the feudal times, not authorized by tbe law of nation?, and i« at war wilh our national power and Independence.

Oi all who were faithful in the trials of j the late war,there were none entitled to mor* I especial honor than tlie brave soldiers and seamen who endured the hardships of campaign und cruise, and imperilled theirclive? in tne | service ol lijo country. Tlie boiinliej? and | pensions provided by law for those brave de- ! lenders of u nation are obligations ueve'p to be , forgotten.

Foreign emigration, which in the pnet has added so much to the wealth.and development of tlie resources, and to tile increase of tlie power of tins nation—the asylum of tlie j oppressed of ull nations—should be fostered niid encouraged by a just aim liberal policy. .12.
