Platform:
Resolved, That we point with pride
and satisfaction to the history and rec
ord of the reat National Republi
can Party of the United States and
ask for it the confidence and unfalter
ing support of our fellow citizens:
First, Because it saved the R public
from overthrow by pu'.ting djwn ths
most wanton and wicked Rebellion
urred in the interest of slavery and
oppression, ever known to the history
of the world:
Second, Because it has stood like a
"wall of fire' between tha oppressed
and iheir relentless and unrepentant
oppressors, and demanded, as il still
demands, that in the Reconstruction of
the rebel States, loyal men only shall
con'rol:
Third, Because it has given to the
country a Homestead Law, thus provid
ing Free hones for Free'.Men, and pro
viding lands for the laudless without
price.
Fourth. Because it has chartered and
endowed the Great Pacific Rail Road,
thus uniting with iron bands, the At
lantic with the Pacific, and bringing
through ihe State the commerce of
China and India, in exchange for the
commodities and productions of Amer
ican labor, skill and enterprise.
Fifth, Because it is the vivifying
power that imparts to the efforts of the
struggling friends of freedom, through
out ihe world, their light, their heat
and their highest value.
Resolved, That we heartily approve
of aud endorse as just the doctrine of
uuiversal amnesty and impartial suf
frage, believing that in its app'ication
will be found a just rule tor a perma
nent eettlemeni of the great question
of recons ruction
Resolved, That, recognizing the doc
trine that allrsriance is alieiiib.e, our
national government should protect
American citizens abroad, whetherna
tive or foreign born, and any outrage
committed on the person of an Ameri
can citizen by a foreign government
should be resisted at every cost, and at
all hazard.
Rcsclvtd, That the nation is deeply
indebted to the soldiers and sailors who
gallautly defended it in the late war
of ihe Rebellion, and that ihe memory
of those who perished in the conflict,
should and will be held in grateful re
membrance; and their widows and chil
dren should be tenderly cared for by
the nntion; that those who returned and
are in our midst we congratulate, and
tender them the assurance of our
honor and regard, aud trust that they
will aid in perpetuating the liberties of
the Consiitution of the country they
parilled their lives to save.
Resolved, That the Republican party
was organized for the preservation of
ihe life of our nation, and for the pur
pose of estab.ishing equality to all be
fore ihe law; and that whilst, as a parly
wj favor all movements tending to pro
mote public morality, yet we are op
posed to all prohibitory laws and stat
utes interfering with the national cus
toms of any portion of our citizens, as
subversive of sound morality, and as
unnecessary abridgements of the liber
ties of the person guaranteed ihe peo
ple by all Republican Constitutions.

tions be considered seriatim. Lost.

cure iheir nomination.

Gen. S. A. Strickland,
My Dear Sir: Some kind friends
in Nebraska have mentioned my name
in connection with the Vice Presidency
Truly erateful to them for this expres
sion of their regard, I must, however,
request that no proposition of the kind
be entertained in the convention about
to assemble.
If not officious I will express ihe
hope that the choice of the Republican
pnrty of Nebraska, be Grant and Wade.
Wade helped to make Nebraska a
