Adopted at Cincinnati, June loth, 1S7(.
Wiieli hi the economy of Providence, his
laud was to be purged of human slavery, and
when tiie strenylli of the Koverniuent of the
people, by the people, for the people, was to be
demonstrated, the Ui publican party came into
' power. Its deeds have passed into "history, ami
I We look back to them with pride. lueilcd by
t heir memories and liiyh anus for the good of
our country and mankind, and looking to the
future with unfaltering courage, hone and pur
pose, we, the reireseiu.itive.s of the the party,
in national convention assembled, make the
following declaration of p: lin-iplcs :
1. The C lined stales ot America is a nation,
not a league. Bv the combined woikiiiisot the
National and State lioveriunents, under tln-ir
resj.eetive consU:utio:iS, tile rilits of every cit
7cn are secured at home anil protected abroad,
and the common welfare promoted.
J. I he Republican party has pieserved those
governments to the hundredth anniversary of
Ihe nation's birth, and they are now tin- em
bodiments of the Ki'cat troths spoken al its cra
dle : Thai all men were created eeual ; that
they were endowed by their Creator Willi ! -taiii
iual'eiiablc i ii:hts. anioiiLr which arc lite.
liberty and the pursuit of happiness; tnat for
t he at lan.iiietit ol tiiesi- rials governments have
been instituted anions men, deriving their just
powers lrom the consent of the governed. I n
til those truths are cheerfully obeyed or, if
needed to be, vigorously enforced, the work
of the Republican parly is uuliuished.
3. The permanent pacification of the South
ern section ol the I'nion, and the complete pro
tection ol its ciiiens in the enjoyment of all
tlieir rights, are duties to which the Republican
party siai.ds sacredly pledged, 'i he power to
provide for the enforcement of principle. em
bodied in the icceut constitutional amendments
Is vested by those amendments m tbe Congress
of the I nited Stales and we declare it to be the
solemn obligation of the legislative and execu
tive departments of the s ;o eminent to put into
immediate an.l vU"iuiis cxerc.se all their con
s'.iiiitiottai powers for removing any ji,-.t causes
;f dlsCMlileul on the pai t ol :i;;y st -

r. I nder the eonstitutinn. the Presid. tit and
heads of depart uients are lo make nominations
for oilice. the Senate is to advise ;:nd to consent
to appointments, and Ihe House ot Representa
tives is to accuse and prosecute tail ii less o.'li
cers. i he best interests of tne public service
deitiiiid th.tt these d isl ii.et io-is be respected;
that Senators and Representative who may be
judges and accusers should not dictate appoint
ments to ottice. The nival i.ibie iide ior ap
poilitmeiits should have relrrence to the hon
esty, l.oelity and capacity of I he appointee, giv
ing' to I lie party in power those places wnerc

ils policy to be represented, but permitting ail
other- to be liiiod by persons selected witn side
reference to the etlieiency of Ihe public st rv ice
and the right of all citiens to share in the honor
of rendering faiihful service to their country.
tj. We rejoice in the ipiiekeiied conscience of
the pro; le concerning political alf.iirs. and will
hold all public officers to a rigid responsibility,
and engace that the prosecution ;uid punish
ment ol ail who betray otiicial iiusl shall be
speedy, thorough ami linspiirin.
7. T he public .school sy si em ot t he several S ates
is the biilwai'ii of the Anieri 'iiu Itepnhlic.alld
with a view to its security ami pcriii.tiinncc. we
recomnieiid an aiiicniliiicut to the constitution
of the L'nited stales forbidding tUe appliciilioa
of ai;v public lund or proopcrlv for ihe benefit
of any school or insiiiniicns utider .scctiiiiau

s. The revenue m-cessarv for current expen
ditures and I he obligations of the public debt
must be largely derived from duties on iinpor- j
tr.liniiwhieh.sii fas as possible, should be ad
justed to promote Ihe iiiteri'sts of American la
bor and advance the prosperity ot the whole
country.
y. e reaffirm our opposition to further j
grants of the public laud lo corporat ions and!
monopolies, and demand that the national do
main be tievoled to free homes for the people.
lo. It is the imperative duty of Ihe Govern
ments!) to uioitiiv existing treaties with Europ
ean governments hat t he same protect Ion sha.l ;
be afforded to the-adopted ainciiiaii rill.eii,
th. it is given io the name boru.and th.it all'
necessary laws should bo passed to prof eel em- I
igialitsiii the absence id iiowr in tite Stales i
for that purpose. "
II. It is the immediate duty of Congress to j
fully invesiiiiie the ellei-t of immigration and t
importation of Mongolians upon the moral iind :
material interests of the country. j
1. T he Republican party recognizes w itu ap
proval the substantial advance iceeiitly made !
toward the establishment of i-ipml rights for:
women by the many important ainetuliiiciiis el- I
feci od by the Republican legislation in Ihe law !
whu h concern the personal and proin itv lela- 1
lions of wives, inoliiers ami widows, and by the
appointment and election of women to the su
perintendence of education, ehiirities and other
public trust. The honest demands of tiiis
class of citizens for additional rights and privi
leges ami immunities should he Heated with re
sped I ul consideration.
IX The Constitution confers upon Congress !
sovereign wer over the lerntorrp's ol the ;
Cnitcil States for their government, and in the j
exercise of this power il is the right and duty,
f Congress to prohibit ami exti rpate in tlie .
Tcrritorrics that relic or barbarism, polygamy,
anil w e demand such legislation a shall pro- i
cure this end and the supieinaoy of American I
institutions in all the Territories.
14. The pledires w hieii the nation has given I
to our sobiieis a. id sailors must be tnliiiicd. !
The grateful people will always bold iho-c who
periied their lives lor i heir count rv s preserva
tion in t he kindest iciin iiil'raiice.
1.1. We sincerely depreciate ali seel tonal feel
ings and tendencies. We tlieretoie note Willi
deep solicitude that the Democratic party,
counts as its chief hope of success upon the

The Latr of Horse-Hire.
The Rural Sun has the following: It
has been decided that when a horse or
carriage is let out for hire for the pur
pose of performing a particular journey,
the party letting, warrants the horse or
carriage tit and competent for such a
journey. If the hirer treats the horse
or carriage as any prudent man would
do, he is not answerable for any dam
age that ither may receive, llut he
must use the horse for the purpose for
which he hired him. For instance, a
horse hired for saddle, must not be used
in harness. If the hirer violates this ex
press condition of the contract he is li
able for any damage that may occur. If
the horse is stolen through the hirer's
negligence, such as leaving the stable
door open all night, lie must answer
for it. lint if lie is robbed of it by
highwaymen, wheu traveling tlie usual
road at "usual hours, he cannot be held
for damages. As these questions are j
frequently in dispute, these decisions
may be interesting.

We pas-scd through the salt basins west
of Lincoln, through Lancaster county
into Seward county; here the crops
are better. Then into Eilmore county,
the corn through this county will
average about one-quarter of a crop;
Eainnount, the coumy-seat, we find a
thrifty little village, of 1,000 inhabit
ants ; it is situated on the B.i&M. 11.11. A
few hours recreation and on we roll
next into Clay county; here we find
about a one-quarter corn crop left. We
pass through Sutton City; they have
1,200 inhabitants. Thence into Adams
county; here the corn fields look as if
a Surveying party had been through
every field shooting buffalo and ante
lope; there is nothing but the stubbles
left to tell there had ever been a corn
crop there. Still on we go to Hastings,
a lively city, f somewhat larger than

the Denver & St. Jo. K. IL Here we
met our handsome and enterprising

notes rolling from the gifted tongue of

The whole broad sweep of our Colo
nial and National life, from the birth
of Columbus to the admission of Colo
rado as the "Centennial State" is pre
sented to the readers in a volume of
convenient size, w ritten in a fctjle that
maintains ones interest from first to
last. And yet nothing is omitted, noth
ing is slurred over, nor is tho record
thrown loosely together as a mere dry
annal of disconnected facts, without
the informing spirit of the original his
torian. On the contrary, tlie author
unites the style of the annalist and tho
philosopher, closing his account of each
subject fith a masterly summary on
character anil motives which the read
er at once recognizes as the fitting mor
al of tlie preceding narrative.
This volume will supply a want long
felt. It has often been a matter of re
gret that we have hitherto had no his
tory of our great country at once com
prehensive and popular. Between the
brief and unsatisfactory school histor
ies en the one hand and the bulky vol
ume on the other, there has been a
great gap a gap which is filled by this
work. Here we have a delightful nar
rative in which every material fact is
set down without those dry details of
scholastic research which rpel rather
than attract the mass of readers.
While the history of each Colony is
complete in itself, the chain of cotem

Maps also show the political divisions
of this country from time to time. It is
rather startling to turn to the lino
map on page lCtl, and again to that
on page 557, and see that more than
four-tilths of this great country was
once in the undisputed possession of
the French! Again it appears that
we have acquired from Spain and her
Colonies an area thirteen times the size
of Ohio.
But if our territorial growth has been
wonderful, what are we to think of the
amazing development of late years, as
shown in the authors bnliant sum

Our space will not permit a more ex
tended review, but our examination of
the book justifies us in saying it is al
together superior to any other History
of the United States ever published. In
addition to the excellence of its sub
ject matter, its mechanical appearance
is superb. Beautifully printed and el
egantly illustrated, it also possesses the
additional requisite of cheapness. "We
