THE PLATPOEM
Of the National Republican Party. Adopted at Chicago, May 2i,lSeS.
The following platform, reported by
tne Committee on Resolutions, was
unanimously adopted by the National
Republican Convention, in session at
Chicago :
The National Republican party of
me unitcu Mates, assem oieu m nat
ional Convention in the city of Chicago
on the 20th dav of May. lHoS. make
the following declaration of princi
pies :
First. "We congratulate the country
on the assured success of the recon
struetion protects of Congress, as evine
ed bv the adoption, in a majority of
the States lately in rebellion, of con
stitutions securing equal civil and
political rights to all, and regard it as
the duty of the government to sustain
these institutions and to prevent the
people of such States from being re
mitted to a state of anarchy
Second. The guarantee of Congress
of equal suffrage to all loyal men of
the South was demanded by every
consideration of public safety, of grat
itude, and of iustice, and must be
maintained, while the question of
suffrage in all the loyal States projer
ly belongs to the iwonle of those States
Ihiru. e denounce all lorms ot
repudiation as a national crime, ami
honor requires the paymentof the na
tinoai indebtedness in the utmost good
faith to all creditors, at home and
abroad, not only according to the letter
but the spirit ol the laws under wmcn
it was contracted.
Fourth. It is due to the lalorof the
nation that taxation should le equal-
a m . 1 .1
ized ana reduced as rapidly as me
national faith will permit.
i iltli. 1 he national debt, contracted
as it has been for the preservation of
the Union for all time to come, should
be extended over a fair period for re
demption, and it is the duty of Con
gress to reduce the rate of interest
thereon Whenever it can possible be
done.
Sixth. That the best policy to dim
inish our burden or debt is to so im
prove ourcrcdit that capitalists will
seek to loan Ud money at lower rates of
interest than we now pay, and must
continue to pay so long as repudiation,
partial ortotal , open or covert, is threat
ened or suspected.
Seventh. The government or tne
United States should be administered
with the strictest economy, and the
corruptions which have been so shame
fully nursed and fostered by Andrew
Johnson call loudly for radical re
form.
Eighth. "We profoundly deplore
the untimely and tragic death of
Abraham Lincoln, and regret the ac
cession of Andrew Johnson to the
Presidency, who has acted treacher
ously to the people who elected liim
and the cause he was pledged to sup
port ; has usurped legislative and jud
icial functions ; has refused to execute
the laws ; has used his high ottice to
induce other officers to ignore and vio
late the laws ; has employed his ex
ecutive power to render insecure the
prosperity, peace, liberty and life of
the citizens ; has abused the pardon
ing power ; ha denounced the .Nation
al Legislature as unconstitutional;
has ersistently aud corruptly resisted,
by even- meaus in his power, every
proper attempt at the reconstruction
of the States lately in rebellion ; has
perverted the public patronage into)
an engine ot wholesale corruption, and
las been justly imicacned lor high
crimes and misdemeanors, and prop
erly pronounced guilty by the votes
of thirty-five Senators.
rsinth. The doctrine of Great Brit
ain and other European powers, that
because a man is once a subject he is
always so, must be resisted at every
hazard by the United States as a relic
of the fedual times, not authorized by
tne law or nationsand atwarwith our
national honor and independence.
Naturalized citizens are entitled to be
protected in all their rights of citizen
ship as though they were native born,
and no citizen of the United States,
native or naturalized, must be liable
to arrest and imprisonment by any
foreign power for acts done or words
spoken in this country. And if so ar
rested and imprisoned, it is the duty of
the Government to interfere in his
behalf.
Tenth. Of all who were faithful in
the trials of the late war there are none
entitled to more especial honor than
the brave soldiers and 6eamen who
endured the hardship of campaign
and cruise,and imperiled their lives in
the service of their couutry. The
Kunties and pensions provided by
aw for these Lrave defenders of the
nation are obligations never to bS for
gotten. The widows and orphans of
the gallant dead are the wards of the
people, a nacrtd legacy bequeathed to
the nation s protecting care.
Eleventh. Foreign emigration.
which in the past has added so much
to the wealth and development of the
resources and the increase of power of
this nation, "the asylum ot the op
pressed ofall nations," should be fost
ered ami encouraged by a liberal and
justpolicj.
Twelfth. This convention declares
its sympathy with all the -oppressed
Konle wuo are struggling ior tneir
. ..!.
rignts.
On motion of Gen. Carl Schurz. the
following additional resolutions we
unanimously adopted as part. of the
platform: - -
Kcpohrd, Thatwehighly commend
he spirit of magnanimity and forbear-
ance wua which lut-iiiru wnonave
served in the rebellion, but now frankly
aud honestly co-o)erate with us in
restof ins the peace of the country and
reco n st r uct i n g t h e So u t hern St ate go v-
ernments uim the basis of impartial
ustlce and equal rigms, are received
back into the communion of the loyal
neonle : and we favor the removal of
the disqualifications and restrictions
imposed upon the late rebels in the
same measure as their spirit of loyalty
will direct, as maybe consistent
the safety of 'the loyal people-, ,
7 'imy.0,
Sdiuylcr Colfas
Resolved, That we recognize
jrreat principles laid down in
the
the
immortal Declaration of Independence
as the true foundation of democratic
government, and we hail with glad
nessevery efl'ort toward making these
principles a living reality on every

A queer basis, the claim of Horatio
Seymour to statesmanship lias, wnen
you come to look at it."
He opposed the Wilmot Proviso.
He supported the Fugitive Slave
Law.
He sustained the Nebraska bill re
pealing the restriction on slavery ex
tension.
He apologized for or defended the
border rnffian outrages in Kansas
He sustained Breckinridge against
Dousrlas in 1SG0.
He threw the blame of the begining
of secession upon the Republicans
while Mr. Lincoln was only President
elect.
He asserted that to call out troops to
suppress the rebellion was more "rev
olutionary " than the rebellion itself.
He declared the Montgomery con
stitution better than ours, and ex
pressed the opinion that tne war
ought to be avoided by the Isorth
adopting it, thus giving the highest
possible sanction to treason.
lie never in tne last eignt years once
delivered any argument, appeal,
denunciation or censure against the
relel cause : and never failed to charge
revolution, usurpation, outraged op
pression, tyranny and all the political
crimes in tne caiander upon tne Ke
publcans. July 4, lws, wmie jjce's army was
in Penn-lvania, on its way to Phi-
adelphia and New York, and lie had
heard only of UMtmcccss, he delivered
an oration in rsew ork, imploring
the North to compromise, warning it
against aril tear at home, and de
nouncing the Republicans for " in
fringing upon our rights, insulting
our homes, and depriving 113 of those
cherished principles for which our
fathers fought, and to which we have
sworn allegiance.
In oration aforesaid he warned the
Republicans thus : " Remember this;
that the bloody, treasonable, and
revolutionary, doctrine of public nec
essity can be proclaimed by a moo as
well as by a Government."
hen Lee had been defeated, and
nevertheless the mob arose, which
lis language had invited, he address
ed them as his "friends," was receiv
ed as their "tnend," and promised to
get what they were fighting for, the
suspension of the draft.
lie told Ir. Lincoln that the draft
act wn unconstitutional, and warned
11m that if it was enforced his 'friends'
might resist it.
He presided at the Chicago Conven
iori, and, with it, declared the war a
failure, and called for an immediate
peace that is for disunion.
He opposed, and now opposes the
Fourteen tli amendment, and all mea
sures marking treason as a crime.
b malry during the past eisht years.
he has been admired and honored bv
every rebel in the country, and dis
trusted and hated by ninety-nine out
of a hundred of those who demanded
the suppression of treason.

and believe, execute the laws ' hon

JLETTEJt FROM NEW MEXICO.
Fokt Craig, New Mexico,)
August 2-Uh, lm. j
Editor Xebraska Advertiser.
Tell a Mexican that the Rio Grande Is not
the greatest river in the world, or that Its val
ley la not the most fertile, and he will receive
your statement with the same discredit that
you will any assertion he may make to you
after you become acquainted with him. To
them It may be so, as they have never seen
any other; but in my view the' Rio Grande
is very much like the Platte a rapid current
winding along among sand bars and over
quick sands, frequently changing its channel.
The low bottoms, mostly on the west side, are
the only portions succptible of cultivation
the second bottoms, or table lands, being
nothing but barren, drifting sands. The low
bottoms at this time tthe rainey season,) are
mostly covered with water, although thickly
settled all the way.
The first appearance of thrift and industry
manifests Itself at the Pueblo Indian village,
ten miles below Albngnerqne. Here were
the best crops of grain that I have yet seen In
the Territory. Men, women and children all
busy at work harvesting their wheat, now
ripe. I would estimate the yield at about ten
bnshels per acre, and their corn at not over
thirty." The Implements used by these peo
ple are of the most primitive kind. They cut
their grain with a crooked knife, carry and
pile it on carts, and haul It direct to the
threshing place to tramp it off with cattle
The wind Is their fanning mill. The quality
of the wheat is medium. Tronged sticks
were the only forks I saw, and wooden pad
dles the only shovels. These Pueblos were
comfortably dressed, and appeared contented
and happy. They have abundance of all
kinds of frnit, apples, peaches, pears, apricots
and grapes in abundance. These grapes, I
am told, make a superior wine, though for
table use they are not good. The vine is here
cultivated by trimming down to one stem
about one foot high in the fall, and covering
this entirely up -with sand during winter.
In spring the sand is removed, and the vine
immediately throws out new shoots on which
the fruit grows. I failed to get any wine, as
it was all sold or consu med.
The lands under cultivation here are patches
oblong, triangular, and -of every other con
ceivable shape, inado to conform to the Sake
(irrigating ditches); and in the construction
of these very' little engineering skill is man
ifested, yet the expense and labor of construct
ing them is an item of no small Importance,
as the nature of the soil here (mostly pure
sand,) requires constant, unremitting care
and attention to keep the Sakes in repair. I
was thinking to-day that had I to till the soil
here for my bread, instead of ditching and
laming these bottoms, I would damn them
and not ditch them at all, as 11 is a iaci very
apparent to ray mind that every bushel of
rain raised in this valley is secured at more
than three times the cost It is with us, and
very little demand for it except by Govern
ment. My impression is it was a God send to
this country when Uncle Sam assumed the
care of it. . So far as the Mexicans themselves
are concerned, two-thirds of them we see
are clothed from Uncle Sam's wardrobe. His
wagons supply all the carts used here; his
saddles, bridles, blankets and spurs are every
where seen. I have never seen a mexlcan at
work, and yet he would shame a Jew In the
price he will endeavor to extort from you for
anything he has that you may want, and
then take what you may give him and any
thing else he can conveniently get withoui
your giving it to him. So far as the charac
ter of the lower class of Mexicans is concerned
Elder Chivington's estimate is about correct
as near the truth as he ever preached.
After leaving the Indian village for ft dis
tance of probably three miles, the bottom
lands are very badly alkalied, the soil being
white with it, and all the pools of standing
water discolored. Below this again the coun
try Improves crops are better and fruit plen
ty. All along the banks ot these Sakes cot
ton woods are plenty ; some of these now are
from twelve to eighteen inches in diameter,
but all branching out very low. I find these
arc planted for the purpose of holding the
banks of these ditches from washing, and
the tops or limbs of these trees, which
are cut on atxmt every other year, afford
supply of fuel, as there is no timber
whstever in the valley of the river. From the
time we leave the mountains, twenty miles
east of Albuquerque to Ft Craig, a distance
of one hundred and thirty inile, we have to
lug what wood . we use, at an extravagant
price.
They tell us that this is the worst season of
the year here. Yesterday at noon the ther
mometer was 79 in the shade. This morning
6 o'clock it was ii ; quite a change . It
rains every day, and was it not that our teams
are extra good, we could not travel at alt. As
it is, we made sixty miles in eight days.
Locosso Ls a very pretty little Mexican town
thirty-six miles above Ft. Craig, containing a
steam flouring mill, several stores, and some
ery neat residences. From here down the
table lands become very stroncr, and" we find
some grass growing upon them. I notice for
the first time some Mexican, at work build
ing some new adobe houses and in their corn
patches. A short distance below this the first
timber appears scrubby cottonwood on the
river bank. Grass continues good, but the
bottom vejry badly alkalied, and no water fit
for use except river water, and it muddy ana
warm. The river has washed the road away
in several places, as also t he town of San Mi
guel; and the lnhabltants-of the latter are
building a new town on this side. Our flac 1
a welcome sight at all times to the rrue Amer
ican waves from the Fort
Ten miles below here we leave the river for
ninety mile3, with no wood and scarcely any
water the Spanish "jorunda del muesto,"
(Journey of death). The road down this (west)
side of the river is very rough, and with load
ed wagons almost impassible. I see prepara
tions making to work newly discovered cop
per and silver mines at several places In the
mountains back from the river.
There ls ho inducement for any man to
come to this valley to till the soil or raise
stock. Alkali water, mcqaetoes--the most
I ever saw Indian interference and the price
of produce below ours, will not Justify the in
vestment,
Will write you again from the MesiUa Val

An Eloquent Speech by Gen.
Sherman.
Contrast the following extract from
Lieut. Gen. Sherman's speech, at the
annual reunion of the Army of the
lenncssec.ih St. Louis, last Novem
ber With Frank Blair's revolutionary
letter :
"How ha? this punishment been
partitioned by the result of this war?
We of the North have to mourn the
loss of fathers, brothers, sons and
friends, and are burdened with a vast
national debt, binding on us in tact,
in law and honor, never; I hope, to be
questioned by any honorable man in
America till even cent is paid.
"Look at the South, aud you Who
went with me through that land can
best say if they too, have not been fear
fully punished. Mourning in every
house-hold : desolation wnttenin hard
characters across the whole, face of
their country; cities in ashes, and
fields laid waste: their commerce gone
their system of labor annihilated and
destroyed, ruin, poverty and distress
everywhere, and now pestilence ad
dins the cap-sheaf to their stock of
misery : her proud men begging for
pardon : and appealing for permission
to raise food lor their children ; her
4,000,000 of slaves free, and their value
lost to their former masters lorever.
"How any Southern gentleman,
with these facts plain and palpable
everywhere staring him in the face
and recorded forever in the book of
history, can still boast of his " ljst
cause" orspeax 01 it in language otner
than that of shame and sorrow, passes
my understanding; and instead of be-
ing revived, 1 Know inai, ineir lost
cause will sink deeper into infamy as
time more keenly probes its hidden
mysteries and revels theni to the light
of day.
" Now that slavery is gone, and gone
forever, with its unhappy Wrecks left
behind, and all danger is past of any
set of men again appealing to war
when they have courts to secure their
rights and redress their wrongs, 1
would trust our national destiny
against those grand old national laws
which raised our country through the
long, tedious vassalage of colonization
which carries us safely through the
ordeal of our revolutionary war, made
our llag famous on the high seas in
1S12. led our conquering army to the
gates of Mexico in 1847, and has borne
us gloriously through lour years of as
hard a war as ever tested the manhood
of any people;
" Let us revive, as far as lies in our
individual power that sj'stem which,
Bancroft tells, guidod our fathers le-
fore the revolution the system which
has been reveled in Judea the system
which combines and perfects the
symbolic wisdom of the Orient, and
redecting genius of Greece the system
conforming to reason, yet kindling
with enthusiasm ; always hastening
reform, yet always conservative ; pro
claiming absolute equality among
men, yet not suddenly abolishing the
unequal institutions of societ' : guar
anteeing absolute freedom, yet; invol
ving the inexorable restrictions 01
duty ; in the highest degree theo
retical, yet in the highest degree
ractical; awakening the inner man
to a conciousness of his destiny, ami
yet adapted with exact harmony to
the outer world ; at once divine and
luman. This system was professed
in eveiy part Of our widley extended
country, and cradelcd our freedom.
"With such a spirit pervading all
our country once more; w ith our pop
ulation increasing thirty-three per

wealth developing in even a greater
ratio; with our frontiers pushing back
in every direction: with farms and
villages and cities rapidly covering
our vast domain; with mines of gold
and silver and iron and coal, pouring
out wealth faster than ever did the
cotton fields of the south; with forty
thousand miles of finished railroads
and other tliousauds in rapid progress
an any one doubt our present
strength or calculate our future des
tiny ? If our friends at the South will
heartily Tind cheerfully join with us
in this future career I for one would
welcome them back our equals but
not our superiors rapplause.1, and
end them a helpnig hand ; but if, like
spoiled children, they cling to the
dead past and shut their eyes to the
coining future, I would only call their
attention to that wave of emigration
that has swept over our land from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and must soon
turn back - and flow South. Ap
plause. They may oppose, but their
opposition will be as vain as it was
for them to try to stop tne Army 01

and breadth of their land. The next
wave of Northern invasion will not
desolate their land, but will fructify
and regenerate it.

WThat is the matter with Brownville ?
It was my privilege to spend a few
days with the good people of Brown
ville, and we had occasion to notice
that something was the matter with
the people and the place. Some nine
or ten years ago we first passed th rough
Brownville. YV e then thought it the
tidiest, brightest, and neatest place on
the river from St. Joe to Nebraska
City. But that was in mill winter.
The ground wa3 white with snow.
and the air was full tf the feathery
flakes. Now, it was the last of sum
mer. Nature everywhere in and
around Brownville gave unmistakable
evidence that she had been profu.se
with her favors. Yet something was
the matter with Brownville. All around
it was plain to be 6een that the peo
ple of Brownville were "dissatisfied
and discontented. Manifest disquie
tude was depicted everywhere. Old
buildings that had done 'good service
for long ears were being torn down.
or enlarged and remodeled. Beauti
ful new brick business houses had been
erected, a large High School Building
of the same material, churches no
where to be seen a few months since
have sprung up, the streets were lined
with huge piles of old brick and refuse
timbers, tellingplainly that something
is the matter with Brownville.
We noticed but few places where
the grass was allowed to grow, but all
around the people were digging down
and tilling up. riles of fresh dirt dug
from the hill side, or some cellar, well,
or cistern, were lying abound loose,
making it absolutely unpleasant .if
not dangerous to perambulate the
streets. Over and through the steep
and rugged hill sides, north, south,
east and west, the brush was being
cleared away, deep channels cut, ra
vines filled up, "God's green earth"
rudely "trampled under foot," and
man, weak ana teeble man, doing ap
parently his utmost to improve upon
the works of nature, lo accomplish
all this, laborers and mechanics are
being mprcz$ed into the service. A
citizen of .Nebraska- City, and well
known as one of our bet artisans
while standing with nu upon one cf
the hill sides in Brownville, and joint
ing out the changes that had taken
place, in which he had been jmrsuaded
to take a part, added: "I haven't
been home since the fourth of July."
Greenbacks, and all sorts of "filthy
lucre," are unceremoniously shaken
in the face, in order to "persuade men."

57i? Coshocton (Ohio) Democrat hav
ing Interpolated a word in a sentence
of Henry Ward Beecher's lettter to
The JJosfon Advertiser which perver
ted the meaning, the editor of The
Coshocton Republican wrote to Mr.
Beech er on the subject, and recieved
the following reply: '
Peek kill, Aug. 13, 1SCS.
Dear Sik: You ask me whether
I wrote the following sentence :
"The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
in the closiug sentence of a letter to
the editor of The llotton Daily Adver
tiser, utters an honest sentiment in
the following:
"There willbeno third candidate
between Grant and Seymour. It will
be a fair fight between rugged (Dem
ocratic) honesty and plausible craft.
Coshocton Democrat
I did not. The word (Democratic)
was interpolated by the editor of the
paper from which it comes, on pur
pose to deceive his readers. I re
gard Grant as an upright, honest man,
of good administrative skill the very
man to be President in times which
require steadiness, clear sense, kind
ness and tried patrioitsm. I not only
believe that he will be President, but
that his civil administration will be as
remarkable as his military career.
Since all the men who sought to de
stroy this Government are rallying
around Seymour, it is fit that all the
men who stood up for the union should
gather about Grant. It is an honor
that will not happen twice in a man's
lifetime to have a chance to vote for
such a man as Grant. No young
man can well afford to throw away
his chance. Even if done, it
ought
to be in favor or some better m:t n
than he who, through all the years
from 18G0to 1SC8, studied how to help
Southern treason without incurring
the risks and pains of overt and cour
ageous treasonable acts. I axa very
truly yours.

Jlore Exhibit.
Since the Democrats are so fond of
making exhibits in figure, it seem
to be the disposition of the Republican
to give them .all they want. Mr.,
Blaine, in a speech before the IIousj.
of Representative, shows not only
that Mr. Buchannan'. expenditure"
were heavier in Proportion than those
since the Republicans came Into pow
er, but wherein his expense we're ex
cessive. The army, under Mr. Bu
chanan's War. Minister, -cost .f22,fiD,
IM) annually, for nineteen regiments,
or conside rable over flWHl.tXAiper reg.
iment in gold. Under Gen. Grant,
sixty regiments cost for the year onlr
$33,lX'0,ioO, or a little over half a mii
ion per regiment in paper. At tho
same extravagant rate of expenditure
as that indulged in under Mr. Buch
anan, our present army would cost
over 70,KX,XM annually in gold, or
S10i,0,jotJ in paier. liven Preside
ent Johnson had been compelled to
admit "Gen. Grant's judicious econ
omy a the direct cause of. saving many
million to the Treasury."
The estimates for the navy are equal
Iy disparaging to boasted democratic
economy. Our little navy cost over
$l.'5,00O,!XK) a year in gold during the
reign of tho would be "la-t of tho
Presidents." Our estimatt-3 for tho,
current year are only $18,000,000 in pa
per tor a vastly larger force. Practir
ing democratic economy we might
put them at 30,000,000.
The post-ofiice expenes, under dem
ocratic rule, were from $.,0x.P"J0 t
.?7,000,000 a year in gold. With a
vastly increased postal service, we aro
able to get alon? with S-VoOO.OOOa year
in paper. The comparisons might bo
extended throughout all the depart
ments and their branches with like
result. But we have given cnongrr'
to 6how the difference between the
asserted republican extravagance and,
the hosted democratic economy.
Yet, "inheriting a bankrupt treas
ury, a dishonest credit and a gigantic
rebellion," all tho while we have!
been accused of extravagance an ex
travagance whieh put democratic
economy to sham? we have been
encouraging industry and enterprise,
and carrying on improvements ort"
such a scale a? was never realized;
and never could be realized, under,
democratic rule. Our rivers and hartM
rs bear witness in our favor, and wo
have a railroad to the Pacific well und
er way. Our industries are thriving,
the Greant West is rapidity filling up
with hardy and enternri-Ing settler
to share our burdens ot taxation, and
immigrants are pouring into the
country and scattering over our
domain by ten of thousand., to add
to our future wealth and. greatness.
We defy our democratic opponents to
show anything in their history that
offered greater advantages to capital,
genius and enterprise, or opened a
brighter and nobler career to our com
