GEN. JAMES A. GARFIELD,
OF OHIO.
The Republican party In National Conven
tion assembled, at the end ot twenty year
ince the Federal Government was lirst sub
mitted to their cluircre, submits to the neople
of the U. S. tins In i, f report of its adminis
tration. It siipres.e,l a rebellion which had
".niied nearly a million of men lo subvert the
National atflhority. It reconstructed tne
Union of the States with freedom instead of
slavery ns its corner-sione. It transformed
four million human beings from the likeness
of things to the rank of citizens. It relieved
Congress from the infamous work of hunting
fugitive slaves, and charged it to see thnt
slavery does not exist. It has raised the val
ue of our paper currency froin 3J per cent to
the par of gold. It has restored upon a solid
basis pay meut in coin for all thcnational obli
gations, and has given us a currency abso
lutely good and equal in every part of our ex
tended country. It has lifted the credit of
the nation from the point where 6 per cent
bom la sold at 8:i to that where 4 percent bonds
aro eagerly sought at a premium. Under its
administration rdlways iiave increased from
3l,O)0 miles in 1-00 to more than 82,Ouo miles in
170. Our foreien trade has increased from
$700,01)0,00;) to fl.ljO.ooo.OOO in the same time,
and our exports, winch were $20,1-00.000 less
than our imports in ISjIO, were $2.4,000,l'oo
more than our imports in ls79. Without
resorting to loans. it lias, since the warclosed,
de frayed the ordinary expenses of Govern,
ment" besides the aci-ruing interest on the
public debt, and disbursed annually over
30,000,000 for pensions. It has paid 8Si,0CiO,Ou0
of the public debt, and by refnnding the bal.
lance at lower rates has reduced the annual
interest cliai-sre from nearly l.il.OOO.ooO to less
than .y.oon.OO. All the industries of tho
country have revived, lalior is in demand,
wages "have increased, and throughout the en
tire country there is evidence of a coining
prosperity greater than we have ever enjoy,
ed. Upon this record the Republican party
asks for thecontinucd ronlldeneeand support
of the people, and this convention submits
for their approval the following statement of
the iii ini i iles and purposes which will con
tinue 10 guide and inspire its efforts.
1. We affirm that the work of the last ttcen
to.one years has been such as to commend it
f.olt to'th, favor f the nation, and that the
fruits of the costly victories which we have
achieved through immense difliculties should
be preserved; that the peace regained should
be. cherished ; that the dissevered union now
happily restored should be perpetuated, and
that the liberties secured to this generation
should be transmitted undiminished to future
generations; that the order established and
the credit acquired should never be impaired ;
that the pensions promised should be paid;
that the debt so much reduced should be ex
tinguished by the full payment of every dol
lar thereof; that the reviving industries
should be further promoted, and that tho
commerce already so great should be steadily
encouraged. .
. The Constitution of the U5. Is a supreme
law and not a mere contract; out of confed
erate slates it made a sovereign nation; some
powers are denied to the nation while otherd
are denied to Stales, but the boundary be
tween the powers delegated and those re
served is to be determined by the National
and not the State tribunals.
X The work of popular education la one
left 10 tiie care of tin; several s-tates, but it is
the duly of the National Government lo aid
that win k lo the extent of its constitutional
abiii y. The iiitellivencc of the nation is hnt
the a gregate of the intelligence in the sev
eral Stales; nnd thedestiny of the nation must
he guided, nut b.- the genius of any one state,
but by the average genius ot all.
4. The constitution wisely forbids Congress
to make any law respecting an establishment
Df religion, 'but it is idle to hope that the Na
tion can lie protected against the influenresof
sectarianism while each' stale is exposed to
it s denomination. We therefore re oiiimend
th t the cuns'.itiition be so amended as to lav
the saino prohibit. on upon the legislature of
each Stat,-, and also lo iorbi l theappropi iation
of p.ibiic. funds to tiie 6upp art of sectarian
chools

in the States, its twin barbarity nlygainy
must die in the Territories ; that everywhere
the protection nccorded to a citizen of Ameri

Congress to develop and improve our water

the benefits of American citizenship. The in
flux to our shoresof hordes of people who are
unwilling to perform the dutiesof thecitizen,

to u?e all lesruimatu means to restore all the
States of this Union to the most perfect har

United States to say whether it would not be

of respect for the Constitutional rule cover

the civil service should be thoroughly
radical and complete. To this end it de
mands the co-operation of the Legislative
with the Executive department of the Gov

and that the power of removal for cause, with
due responsibility for the good conduct of
subordinates, shall accompany the power of
appointment.
in Market street with their tail-boards
to tlm sidewalk, nnd the farmers sold
thfir produce to the town people, who
jostled each other as they wnJkcd up
11 1 id down in front of the market carts
a cu-tom of street markets still car
ried on in Wilmington.
Friend William Stapler stopped, on
Ms w:iy in market in his cart, at Eliz

nn cl. lo 1,-ave a doen etrirs and two
pound-, of butter, as be did each Tues
day and Friday eveuiii";, . Elizabeth
c tiiic lo ihi door with a basket fyr half
a 1 e; k of potatoes. William Stapler
took oil' his hrnad-hriiiimcd hat, and
lowly rubbed his horny hand over his
bhoi t-i tit. siubblv opav hair.
. "Ah! I nil thee, Lizabis-h, they're
a-doin leiit things up above Chadd's
lord. 1 hearn th caunino; a-boomin'
away all day' to-day. Ah. Ldzabcth,
t iu world's people, is a wicked people.
They spare not thy brother's blood
when tlf Adam is aroused within them,
They siau iu .slippery places, Ldza-
bel ii."'
Does thee think they're fightiiur,
Wiliiim?"
"Truly I th'i.k they are. Ah! I tell
thee, Lizabcth, t .ley're diU'eren' 'n when
1 was yoiiiio-. Then we only feared the
liiiuns, n' now it's white men agin
white men. They tuck eight young
turkovs of mine, 'n' only paid me ten
fchillhY for Vm."
"But, oh. William, I do hope they're
Dot lighting! I expect my son-in-law,
Captain William Bellach, aud his
friend Colonel Tilton, will stop here 011
their way to join (Jeneral Washington;
find they may arrive to-niht."
"Ah, "Eial.eth, I've- lifted up my
voice in testimony agin the voting men
iroin to the wars an' she.ldiu' blood.
a man diggelh a pit ah'' falleth into
it himself, who shall help him out
thereof? Haifa peck o' potatoes, did
thee say, Eizabeih V"
During tiie evening rumors became,
riore exciting, and it was .aid that the
Americans had ' been deie tted, and
were retreating towards 1'hiladclphia.
Late that night Captain Bellach and
Colonel Tilton arrived at Elizabeth
Hanson's house.
"I heard the rumors, mother," said
Captain Bellach.. "1, don't believe "cm;
but even if there was a lile of Britiak
at the door here, I would be too tired
to run away from them."
Pretty Nancy Hanson spoke up.
But, Billy, they would not only send
thee and thy friend to the hulks if they
caught thee, but they might be rude to
lis women were they to Iind thee here."
"Yes, sister-in-law, if I thought
there was any danger. 1 would leave
instantly; but the British, even if they
have lHaten us, will be too tired to
come here to-night."
"1 agree with my friend Will, Mis
tress Xaucy," said Colonel Tilton.
"Moreover, our horses are too tired to
take us farther to-night."
About two o'clock- in the morning
the silence of tho deserted streets of
"the town was broken by a rattling and
jingling' of steel, the heavy, measured
tiviul of feet, and sharp commands given
in a low voice.
Nancy Hanson awoke at the noise,
and jumping out of bed, ran to the
window and looked out into the moon
lit street beneath. A lile of red-coated
soldiers were moving by toward ihe
old Bull's Head tavern. The cold moon
light glistened 011 their gun-barrels
and bayonets as they inarched. Nancy
ran to lier mother's room and pounded
vigorously 011 the door.
"Mother! mother! waken up!" she
cried; "The British are come to town,
sure enouo h !"
. The family were soon gathered
around t lie dull ligiit of a candle, the
gent leincu hastily awakened to have
their hair en ijiicik; the la. ties in short
gowns and petticoats; Elizalicth Han
son wore a great starched 'nightvap
perched high upon her head.
"You were right, sister-in-law," said
Captain Bellach, "ami I was wrong.
The best thing we can do now is to
march out ami take our chances."- .
"So say J," assented the colonel.
"It's well enough for thee, Billy, to
talk of marching out and taking thy
chances," said Nancy; "thee has thy
black citizen's dress; but Colonel Til
ton is in uniform."
"True ; 1 forgot."
"It does not matter," said the col
onel. "Yes, but it does," cried Nancy.
"Stay now until morning, and 1 think
I can get thee citizen's clothes. I have
a project, too, to get thee. oil. For
mother's sake, though, we must hide
thy uniform, lor if ii is found here, she
will be held responsible. Billy, thee
will have to go with thy friend back
to the bedroom ami bring us his things
as soon as he can take tlieni oil. Thee
must lie aled, Colonel Tilton.'.
Nancy's plans were carried into exe
cution. The bricks in one of the up
stairs fire-places Mere taken up, the
sand beneath them removed, and the
colonel's uniform deposited in the va
cant piace, over which the bricks were
carefully replaced.
In the gray of the morning Peggy
Allison and Hannah Sha'icross, on
their way to market, each with a bas
ket on her arm, met in front of Eliza
beth Hanson's house. A company of
soldiers hail halted in Shipley street,
and their arms were stocked before
Elizabeth's door. The red-coated oi
tliers were lounging ajil talking and
smoking. Son).; ollicers sit around a
lilt: near by warming their hands, for
the morning was chill.
''Tis a shame!" said Hannah Shall
rross, vigorously 'tis a shame to see
these? redcoats parading our streets a.4
bold as a brass farthing. I only wish
1 was John Stcdhaiu the constable; I'd
have 'cm iu Ihe Smoke-house or the
stocks in a jill'y, I tell thee!"
The Snio'ue house was small stone struc.
lure soineliiing like a sentry. Imix, only with
an iron door and ir rated windows, in litis ne
groes, petty criminals, vagrants, and drunk-it:-
is were cnnlincd. It stood at the junction
of the two most important streets of the
town.
She spoke loudly and sharply. A
young British ofti-er, who was passing
stepped briskly up, and tapped her on
the arm.
"Madam." said he, "do you know
that you are all prisoner-.? Be ad
vised by me, an 1 return h i 1 1 " home
until the town is in or ler."
However patriotic H-imiah might ha
she did not I hiuk it advi-abie to dis
regard this order, and boili dames re
treated iu a tliit Ier. As Ihe yoim r olli
cer stood looking alter them, tie house
door opposite htm opened, and Nancy
Hanson appeared on the door-step.
She had dressed herself carefully iu her
line quilted petticoat and best flower
ed over-dress, and looked as pretty and
fresh as an April morning.
"Friend," said she, in a half-doubtful,
half-timid voice. The young olli
cer whipped oil" his cocked hat, aud
bent stillly, as you might bend a jack
knife. -
"Madam, yer servant," he answered.
He spoke with a slight brogue, for ho
was an Irish gentleman.
"We have a friend with us," said
Nancy, "who hath been compelled for
a time to keep his bed. He was
brought here last night 011 account of
the battle, and was too weary ta go
further. Our neighbor, Friend John
Stapler, across - the sheet, hath thick
stockings, and I desire to get, if I can,
a pair from him, as, thee may know,
in cases of dropsy the legs are always
cold. 1 am afraid to cross the street
with these soldiers iu it. Would thee
escort me?"
"Madam, you do me infinite honor
in desiring me as an escort," said the
young olliccr, bowing more deeply
than before ; for Nancy wat very
pretty.
Friend John, Stapler was a very
strict Friend, and as such Mas incliiK.il
to favor the royalist side; still, he was
willing to do a kindly turn for a neigh
bor. He was a wrinkled, weazened
little man, whose face, with its pointed
nose and yellowish color, much resem
bled a hickory nut.
"Hum-m-m !' ejaculated he, when
Nam y, who had left t he-ollieer at the
door, stated the case to him -vhuui-m-m!
t litis it is "that intercourse with the
world's people dHileth the? chosen.
St ill, I may as well help thee put of
the pother. Hum-m-m! 1 suppose my
small-clothes would hardly be large
enough, won hi 'they?" and he looked
tl iwn at his withered little legs.
-1 hardly think so,", said Nancy,. re
pr --ing a smile, as she pictured to
lie.--eit' i!ie Lill, d';gii::i'-(l colonel iu lit
tlc'Johu ; t pier's Mil il!-c!otIies.
"W li. wi li,"' said Ik', "HI- just step
out tiie ! ck way, and borrow a nit
from .Jo!i;i . I'.en-on. lie's. the fattest
man I know."
He so in returned with the borrowed
clothes, which they wrapped up in as
sm ill a bundle as possible, after which
Nancy rejoined the olliccr at the door.
""Tis a largish bundle of stockings,"
observed he, as he escorted her across
the street again.
"They are thick stockings," she an
swered demurely.
When they reached home, she invited
her escort and his brother officers, who
were gathered around the lire near by,
to come iu and take a cup of coffee an
olFer which they were only too glad to
accept, after their night's march.
"Gentlemen," said Nancy, as they sat
or stood around drinking their hot cof
fee, suppose you have no desire to
retain our alllicted friend a prisoner?
The doctor, who is with him at pres
ent, thinks it might benefit him to be
removed to the country. I spoke tc
my friend whom I saw this morning,
and he promised so scud a coach. MaV
he depart peaceably when the coach
comes?"
"Faith," said the young Irish ollieer,
"he may depart. He shall not be 1110.
lested. 1 command here at present."
"What is the matter with the inva
lid?" inquired another ollieer,
"He appeareth to have the dropsy,"'
answered Nancy, gmvcly.
In about half an hour tin old-fashioned
coach, as large as a small dwelling-house,
and raised high from the
ground on great wheels, lumbered up
to the door. The slops were let down,
or unfolded, until they made a kind of
step-ladder, by which the passenger
ascended to the coach which loomed
above. The door stuck, iu consequence
of being swelled by the late rains, and
was with difficulty opened. The offi
cers stood around, waiting the appear
ance of the invalid, and the young
Irishman who had been Nancy'a escort
waited at the door to help her in, for
she was to accompany her alllicted rel
ative to the ferry.
The house door opened, and she ap
peared, bearing a pillow and blanket
to make the sick man comfortable.
She arranged these, and stepped back
into the house to see him moved. Then,
with a shuffiing of feet, the pretended
victim of dropsy appeared, dressed in
plain clothes, and 'bo enormously puff
ed out that there was scarcely room for
him in the passage-way. The so-called
doctor, dressed iu black, ami wear
ing a pair of black glass spectacles, as
sisted the invalid on one side, and Nan
cy supported hwu on the other. The
dropsical one groaned at every step,
and groaned louder than ever as they
pushed, squeezed, and crowded hi 111 up
the steps and into the coach. Nancy
ami the doctor followed, and the Irish
officer put up the steps and clapped to
the door, while Nancy smiled a fare
well through the window to him a
the great coach rumbled away toward
the Christiana Kiyer. .
"Oddzooksl" exclaimed one of tlio
officers, "that is tho fattest Quaker I
ever saw."
Ho would have been surprised if he
had seen 'the fat Quaker draw a stout
pillow from under his waistcoat alter
the coach had moved away, while the
doctor stripped some black court-plaster
from the back of his spectacles, and
instead of the invalid and the physi
cian appeared, two decidedly military
looking gentlemen.
The coach and its occupants had
lumbered out of sight for some time,
and the young ollieer still remained
lounging- near the door of Mistress
ILuisou's house, when an orderly,
splashed with mud from galloping ovei
yesterday's battle-field, clattered up to
the group.
"Which is Major Fortcsciic?" he
asked, in his sharp military voice.
"I am," answered tho young Irisb
officer. .
"Order for you, sir;" and lie reached
the major a folded .paper, scaled with a
blotch of wax as red as blood. He
opened it, and read :
"You will immediately arrest two men, ofll.
rers 111 the rebel army, known respectively ai
Colonel Tilton and Captain IJellacu. 1 11 forma
tion has bee. lodged at lieadq uarlers that they

"To Major Allan FoiiTESccKj

Newcastle County, Delaware, formerly a
portion of Pcuu's proprietary government, ia
tho Americas.
"Stop them!" roared Major Fortes
cue, as soon as he could catch li is
breath. He gave a sharp order to the
soldiers lounging near; they seized
their arms, and the whole party start
ed at double-quick for the ford of the
Christiana lliver, half a mile away,
whither the coach had directed its
course.
Meanwhile the fugitives had arrived
at the bank of the river, where they
found that ' the ferryman was at tha
other side, and his boat with him.
He was lying on the. stern seat, in the
sun, aud an empty whisky bottle be
side him sufficiently denoted the rea
son of his inertia. When the colonel
called to him, he answered in endear
ing terms, but moved not; and when
the officer swore, the ferryman reprov
ed him solemnly. Affairs wero look
ing gloomy, when Captain Bellach,
who had been running up and down
the embankment that kept the river
from overflowing the marsh lands that
lay between it and the hill on which
the town stood, gave a shout which
called the colonel and Nancy to him.
They found that he had discovered an
old scow half hidden among the reeds ;
it was stuck fast in the mud, and it
was only by great exertions that the
two gentlemen pushed it oil" the ooze
into the water. The colonel then took
Nancy in his arms, and carried her
across the muddy shore to the boat,
where he deposited her; then, pushing
oil' tire scow, he leaped aboard himself.
"Lackaday for my new silk petticoat,
all spotted and ruined V cried Nancy.
