REPUBLICAN PLATFORM-18S0.
The republican party in. national con
vention assembled, at the end of twenty
years since the federal government "was
lirst committed to its charge, 6ubmits to
the people of the United States this brief
report of its administration. It sup
pressed a rebellion which had armed
nearly a million or men to subvert the
national authority. It reconstructed the
union of the states with freedom, in
stead of slavery as its corner-atone. It
transformed 4,000,000 of 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 that slavery
docs not exist. It has raised the value
of our paper currency from 33 per cent,
to the par of gold. It has restored upon
a solid basis payment in coin for all the
national obligations, and has given us a
currency absolutely good and equal In
every part of our extended country. It
has lifted the credit of the nation from
where G per cent, bonds sold for 80 cents,
to that where 4 per cent, bonds are
eagerly sought at a premium. Under
its administration railroads have in
creased from 31,000 miles in 1960 to more
than 82,000 miles in 1879. Our foreign
trade has increased from $700,000,000 to
$1,160,000,000 In the same time, and our
exports, which were $20,000,000 less than
our Imports in 1880, were $264,000,000
more than our imports In 1879. Without
resorting to loans -it has since the war
closed defrayed the ordinary expenses
of the government, besides the accruing
interest on the public debt, and has
annually disbursed more than $30,000,
000 for soldiers' pensions. It has paid
$S3S,000,000 of the public debt, and by
rciunuing tne Daiance at lower rates nas
reduced the annual interest chargofrom
nearly $151,000,000 to less than $S9,000,
000. All the Industries of the country
have revived, labor is in demand,waget
have increased, and throughout the en
tire country thare is evidence of a
coming prosperity greater than we have
ever enjoyed.
Upon this record the republican party
asks for the continued confidence and
support of the people, and this conven
tion submits for their approval the lol
lowing statements of the principles and
purposes which will continue to guide
and inspire its efforts:
1st. AVc affirm that the work of the
last twenty-one years has been such as
to commend itself to the favor of the
nation, and that the fruits of the costly
victories which we have achieved thro'
immense difficulties shuld be preserv
ed; that the peace regained should be
cherished; that the dissevered union,
now nappuy resiorea,snouia oe perpet
uated, 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 ex
tinguished by the full payment of ovcry
dollar thereof; that the reviling indus
tries should be further promoted, and
that the iommcr.'o, already .so great,
should be .steadily encouraged.
2d. The constitution of the United
States if a supreme law unt a mere con
tract; out oftoiileduraieil ntates It uiado
u sovi r-if;ii liutiun. tioiiiu powers are
denied to the natiou. while other: are
denied to the states, but tho boundary
between tin- poer delegated and thoe
reserved is t be deni mined b the na
tional and not lj the rtatc trioiuialn.
3d. The work ol popular education is
one left to the rare ut the several state,
but it is the duty of the uatioual gov
ernment to aid that work to the extent
of Its constitutional duty. Tho intelli
gence of the nation is but the aggregate
f the intelligence in the neveral states,
and the destiny ot the nation must be
guided not by the genius of any one
state, but the average genius of' them
all.
4th. The constitution wisely forbids
congress to make any law respecting an
establishment of religion, but it is Idle
to hope that the nation can be protected
against the Influence of sectarianism
while each state Is exposed to its domi
nation. We therefore recommend that
the constitution be so amended as to lay
the same prohibition upon the legisla
ture of each state, and to forbid appro
priation of public funde to the support
ot sectarian schools.
6th. We aflirm the belief avowed in
1S7C, that "the duties levied for the pur
pose of revenue should so discriminate
as toftvor American labor, that no
furth(P"p-antof the public domain sho'd
be made to any railway or other cor
poration; that slavery having perished
in the states, its twin barbarity, polyg
amy, must die in the territories: that
everywhere the protection accorded to
citizens of American birth must bo
secured to citizens by American adop
tion, and that we esteem it the duty of
congress to develop and improve our
water courses and harbors, and insist
that further subsidies to private persons
or corporations must cease; that the
obligations of the republic to the men
who preserved its integrity in the hour
of battle are undiminished by the lapse
of fifteen years since their final victory
to do them perpetual honor is, and
shall forever be, the grateful privilege
and sacred duty of the American peo
ple. Gth. Since the authority to regulate
immigration ana lntercouse between the
United States and foreign nations rests
with congress or with the United States
and its treaty making powers, the re
publican party, regarding the unre
stricted immigration of the Chinese as
an evil of great magnitude, Invoke the
exercise of those powers to restrain and
limit that immigration by the enact
ment of such Just, humane, and reason
able provisions as will produce that
result.
7th. That the purity and patriotism
which characterized the earlier career
of Rutherford B. Hayes in peace and
war, and which guided the thoughts of
our immediate predecessors to him for a
presidential candidate have continued
to inspire him in his career as chief
executive, and that history will accord
to his administration the honors which
arc due to an efficient, just and cour
teous discharge of the public business,
and will honor his interposition be
tween the people and proposed partisan
laws.
Sth. We charge upon the democratic
party the habitual sacrifice of patriot
ism and justice to a supreme and insa
tiable lust of office and patronage; that
to obtain possession of the national and
state governments and the control of
place and position they have obstructed
all eflorts to promote the purity and to
conserve the freedom of suffrage and
have devised fraudulent certificates and
return j; have labored to unseat law fully
elected members of congress, to secure
at all hazards the vote of a majority of
the 6tates in the house of representa
tives; have endeaored to occupy by
force and fraud the places of ttust given
to other by the people of Maine, and
re-cued by the courageous action of
MaioeV patriotic sons; have, by meth
ods vicious iu principle and tyrannical
in practice, attached partisan legisla
tion to appropriiticn bill, upon whore
passage the ierv movements of the g.n
ernment depend, and have crushed the
rights of individuals; hive advocated
the principles and sought the fat or of
rebellion against the nation, and have
endeavored to obliterate the sacred
memories of the war. and to overcome
its Inestimably valuable results of na
tionality, vere'iWedom and Individ
ual equality1"
The qtal. steady and complete en
forcement of laws and the protection of
-itlour citizens In the enjoyment of all
Privileges and Immunities guaranteed
y the constitution, are the first duties
of the nation. The dangers of a solid
south can only be averted by a faithful
performance of every promise which the
nation has made to the citizen. The
execution of the laws and the punish
ment of all those who violate them are
the only safe methods by which an
enduring peace can be secured and
genuine prosperity established through
out the south, "whatever promises the
nation makes the nation must perform,
and the nation cannot with safety rele
gate this duty to the states. The solid
couth must be divided' by the peaceful
agencies of the ballot, and all opinions
must there find free expression, and to
this end the honest votes must be pro
tected against terrorism, violence, or
fraud. . .
And we aflirm it to be the duty and
the purpose of the republican party to
use every legitimate means to restore
all the states of this union to the most
perfect harmony that may be pfactic-s-le,
and we submit It to the praetisal,
tates, to
to the dearest interests of our country
at thiB time, to surrender tho adminis
tration of tho national government to
the party which seeks to overthrow the
existing policy under which we are so
prosperous, and thus bring distrust and
confusion where there are now order,
confidence, and hope.
The republican party, adhering to the
principles affirmed by the last national
convention, of respect for the constitu
tional rules governing the appointment
to office, adopts the declaration of Pres
ident Hayes that the reform of the civil
service shall be thorough, radical and
complete: to that end it demands the
co-operation of tho legislative with tho
executive departments of the govern
ment, and that congress shall so legis
late that fitness, ascertained by proper
practical tests, shall admit to the public
service.
BRACTS AUD BUSINESS.
Gtaeral Garfield's Letter of Accept
ance of the Republican
Nomination.
Am Able DecineBt fro
telllgemt tla.
l am In
Mektob, O., July 13, 1 a. m.
General Garfield has forwarded the
following letter of acceptance of the
nomination tendered him by the re
publican national convention to Sen
ator Hoar, of Massachusetts :
Mentor, O., July 10, 1880.
Dear Sir: On the erening of tne
8th of Jnne last, I had tho honor to
receive from you in the presence of
the committee, of which yon were
chairman, the official announcement
that the republican national conven
tion at Chicago had that day nomi
nated me as their candidate for
president of the United States. I
accept the nomination with grati
tude for the confidence it implies
and with a deep sense of the respon
sibilities it imposes. I cordially en
dorse the principles set forth in the
platform adopted by the convention.
Of nearly all of the subjects on
which it treatB my opinions are on
record among tho published pro
ceedings of congress. I will ven
ture, however, to make special men
tion of some of the principal topics
which are likely to become subjects
of discussion. "Without recurring
to tho controversy which has been
settled during the last 20 years, and
with no purposo or wish to revive
the passions of the lata war, it should
be said that whil tho republicans
fully recognize and w ! tiiuously
defend all the rights vc veil to the
states, they reject pernicious
doctrine of stato upri'iiiu which
so long cripplod the fundi iis of the
national government n. at ono
time brought the union very near
to destruction. They insist that the
United States is a nation, with am
ple powers of self-preservation; that
its constitution and the laws, made
in pursuance thereof, are the su
preme law of the land; that the
right of the nation to determine the
method by which its own legislature
shall be created cannot bo surren
dered without abdicating one of the
fundamental powers of government ;
that the national laws relating to the
election of representatives in con
gress shall neither be violated or
evaded; that every elector should
be permitted freely and without in
timidation to cast his lawful, vote at
such an election and have it honest
ly counted, so that tho potency of
his vote shall not be destroyed by
the fraudulent vote of any other
person. The best thoughts and en
ergies of our people should be di
rected to those great questions of
national well-being in which all
have a common interest. Such el
forts will soonest restore to perfect
peace those who were lately in arms
against each other, for justice and
good will are our last possessions.
But it is certain that the wounds of
the war cannot be completely healed
and the spirit of brotherhood cannot
fully pervade the whole country
until every citizen, rich or poor,
white or black, is securo in tho free
aud equal enjoyment of ovory civil
and political right guaranteed by
the constitution and the laws.
Wherever the enjoyment of these
rights is not assured discontent will
prevail, immigration will cease and
the soil and induMrial forces will
continue to be disturbed by the mi
gration of laborers and the conse
quent diminution of prosperity.
The national government should
exercise all its constitutional au
thority to put out these evils, for all
the people and all the states are
members of one body, and no man
can suffer without injury to all.
The most serious evils which now
afflict the south arise from the fact
that there is not such freedom and
toleration of political opinion and
action, so that the minority party
can exercise effective and whole
some restraint on the party in pow
er. "Without 6uch rf.s.raint pa'rty
rule becomes tyrranical and corrupt.
The prosperity which i? iTiide pos
sible in the eoujh by v rn ad
vantages of soli aut fiiiiic will
never be realized unti tiry voter
can freely and safely fr-i,port any
party he pleases. Next in import
ance to freedom and justice is the
popular election, without which
neither justice nor freedom can be
permanently maintained, .unless its
interests are intrusted to the states
and the voluntary action of the
people. Whatever help the nation
can justly afford should be gener
ously given to aid the states in sup
porting the oommon schools ; but it
would be unjust to our people and
dangerous to our institutions to
apply any portion of the resources
of the nation or the states for sup
port of sectional schools. The sep
aration ff Ui kmrt aid tk UU
sensible people of the Uni'.
6ay whether it would not i
in everything relating to taxation
should bo absolute. On the subject
of the national finances my views
have been so frequently aud fully
exprossed that little is needed in the
way of additional statement. The
public debt is now so well secured,
and the rate of annual interest has
been reduced by refunding, that
rigid economy in expenditures and
the faithful application of our sur
plus revenues to the payment of the
principal of the debt will gradually
and certainly free tho people from
its burden and close with honor the
financial chapter of the war. At the
same time the government can pro
vide for all ordinary expenditures
and discharge its sacred obligations
to the eoldiers of the Union and to
the widows and orphans of those
who fell in its defense. Tho re
sumption of specie payment, which
the republican party so courageous
ly and successfully accomplished,
has removed from tho field of con
troversy many questions that long
and seriously disturbed tho creditor
the government aud business of the
country. Our paper currency is
uow as national as the flag, and re
sumption has not only made it
everywhere equal to coin, but has
brought iuto use our store of gold
and silver. The circulating medium
is more abundant than ever before,
we need only to maintain tho equal
ity of our dollars to insure to labor
aud capital a measure of value from
the use of which none can suffer
loss. The great prosperity which
tho country is now enjoying should
not be endangered by some violent
changes of doubtful financial ex
periments. In reference to our custom laws,
a policy should be pursued which
will bring revenue to the treasury
and will enable labor an.d capital
employed in our great industries
compete fairly in our own markets
with tho labor and foreign produ
cers. "We labor for the people of
the United States not for the whole
world and it is our glory thnt tho
American laborer is more intelli
gent and better paid than his foreign
competitor. But the country must
be independent unless its people
with their abundant natural resour
ces, produco the requisite skill in
war time to clothe, arm tud equip
themselves for war, and in tinier of
peace produce all the necessary im
plements of labor. It wa the man
ifest intention of the fotindors of
our government to provide for the
common defense, not by standing
armies alone, but by raising among
the people a greater army of arti
sans, whoso intelligence and skill
should powerfully contribute to tho
safety and glory of the nation. For
tunately for the interests of com
merce, there is no longer any for
midable opposition to appropriations
for improvements of our harbors
and great navigable rivers, provided
that tho expenditures for that pur
pose are strictly limited to works of
national importance. The Missis
sippi river, with its great tributa
ries, is of such vital importance to
so many millions of peoplo that the
safety of its navigation requires ex
ceptional consideration, in order to
secure to tho nation the control of
all its waters. President Jefferson
negotiated the purchase of a vast
territory extending from the Gulf
of Mexico to the Pacific ocean. The
wisdom of congress should be in
voked to devise 6ome plan by which
that great river shall cease to be a
terror to those who dwell upon its
banks, and by which its shipping
may safely carry the industrial pro
ducts of twenty-five millions of
people. The interests of agricul
ture, which is the basis of all our
material prosperity, and in which
seven-twelfths ot our population is
engaged, as well as the interests of
manufacturers and commerce de
maud that the facilities for cheap
transportation shall be increased by
the use of all our great water
courses. The material interests of
our country, the traditions of its
settlement and the sentiments of our
peoplo led the government to offer
the widest hospitality to emigrants
who seek our shores for new and
happier homes, willing to share the
burdens as well as the benefits of
our society aud intending that their
posterity shall become an undistin
guishable part of our population.
The recent movement of the Chinese
to our Pacific coast partakes but
little of the qualities of such an
emigration either, in its purpose or
its results. XL is too much like an
importation to be welcomed with
out restrictions; too much like an
invasion to be looked upon without
solicitude. ve cannot consent to
allow any form of servile labor to
be introduced among us under the
guise of immigration. Recognizing
the gravity of this subject, the pres
ent administration, supported by
congress, has sent to China a com
mission of distinguished citizens for
the purpose of securing such moder
ation of the treaty as will prevent
the evils likely to arise from the
present situation. It is confidently
believed that these negotiations will
be successful without the loss of
commercial intercourse between the
two powers which promises great
increase of reciprocal trade and the
enlargement of our markets. Should
these efforts fail it will be the duty
of congress to mitigate the evils
already felt and prevent their in
crease by Buch restrictions as with
out violence will place on a proud
foundation the freedom and dignity
f Itr. Tht appointment f titi-
zenB to the various executive and
judicial offices of the government is
perhaps the most difficult of all the
duties which the constitution has
imposed upon the executive. Tho
constitution wisely demands that
congress shall co-operate with the
executive departments in placing the
civil service on a bettor basis. Ex
perience has proved that with our
frequent changes of administration
no system of reform can bo made
effective and permanent without the
aid of legislation. Appointments
to the military aud naval service are
so regulated by law and customs as
to leave little ground for complaint.
It may not be worse to make similar
regulations in civil service, but
without invading the authority or
tho necessary discretion of the ex
ecutive, congress should devise a
method that would devise the tenure
of office ana greatly reduce the un
certainty which made that seryico
so uncertain and unsatisfactory
without depriving any officer of his
rights as a citizen. The government
should require him to discharge all
his official duties with intelligence,
efficieucy and faithfulness. To se
lect wisely from our vast populatiuu
those who are best fitted for the
many offices to be filled requires an
acquaintance far beyond the range
of any one man. Tho executive
should therefore seek and receive
the information and assistance of
thoe whose knowledge of the com
munities iu which the duties are to
be performed best qualifies them,
to aid them in taking the wisest
choice.
The doctrines announced by the
Chicago convention are not the
temporary devices of a party to at
tract votes and carry an election.
They are deliberated convictions
resulting from a careful study of the
spirit of our institutions, the course
of our history, and the best impulses
of our peoplo. In my judgment
theso principles should control the
legislation and administration of the
government, fn any ovont they will
guide my conduct until experience
points a better way. If elected, it
will be my purpose to enforce strirt
obedience to the couMitution and
the laws, and to promote, as best I
j maVf lno intoreit and
whole country, relyin
honor o. the
g for cuj p r'
upon the wisdom of congress, the
intelligence and patriotism of tbb
poople and the favor of God.
"With great respect, I am, very
truly yours. J. A. Garfield.
To Hon. Goo. F. Hoar, chairman
of committee.
Before proceeding to commont on
tho result at Chicago, we must first
of all congratulate the Republican
party on its narrow escape from a
great danger. Had Gen. Grant re
ceived the nomination the party
would have been doomed ; but when
wc come to consider the actual can
didate we do not know whether we
ought to congratulate the Republi
can party or to condole with it. Mr.
Garfield is tho most estimable and
popular man in the party, but he is
not a man whom the party would
have spontaneously selected as its
standard bearer in an important
presidential election. Ho is takeu
up only because the really strong
men of tho party were tnought to
have no chance for the nomination.
Mr. Garfield is on record, however,
as ono of the most fair-minded and
liberal-minded men of his party, in
connection with the questions which
relate to a magnanimous treatment
of the southern states. His instincts
are not those of a demagogue, but
those of a statesman. New York
Herald.
At the palace theatre last even
ing an amusing episode occurred,
which brought down the house.
Jerry Cavanaugb, the Ethopian
comedian, who by the way is a nat
ural born wit,while on the state en
gaged in a sort of word-sparring
match with a sharp rooster in the
audience. It was give and take be
tween the two, and each got off
some witty hita. Finally Cavan
augh said to the fellow, "You're a
calf, and I'm letting out the rope."
"You're a fool," replied the young
man in the audience. "You're an
other," said Cavanaugh, "but I am
doing this for money, and you're
making a fool of yourself for noth
ing." That settled the controversy.
It was no put up job either.
A family found a good thickness
of cream on some milk that had Leon
standing ovor nighr, and when tho
milkmnn made his usual call tho
pleasod servant exhibited the cream
and said, "I never expected to see
this." Tho man looked at the cream,
winked wisely and solemnly,
scratched his heid and replied :
"Well, I don't know what's tho mat
ter with it; but you can throw it
out, and I'll give you a fresh pint ip
Its place."
A story is told of a darkey preach
er in the South who took his text in
Psalms ivii. 8 "Awake psaltery and
harp." He read it peaseltree and
harp, and expended his time and
energy on the peaseltree, describ
ing its size and flowers and fruit,
aud how it was cultivated and was
used solely to hang harps on. For
tunately, he said it could not be
raised in this country.
Wisdom is the olive which spring
eth from the heart, bloometh on the
tongue, and beareth fruit in the
attlvns.
