Tlio followlui; U llio rintfoim pro scnlod by Mr. llavslpy to the Hepiilill. can Convention, at Clnclnnnti on Thins tiny last, anil altor soma tlobato, linnlil moiisly ndoptoil '. When, In tlio economy of Providence, tills laiiil was to lio purged of liut.inn slavery, anil when tlm streniitli of the fioveriiinentof thopeople.hy the people, for tlio people, was to be demonstrated, the Hepuhllcan party ctiue Into power. Its deeds lmvo passed Into hlstoiy, and wo look back to them with pride, incit ed by their tnemoilos mid lilj!li alms for the cowl of oMr omintry and, mankind ; mill, looking to the futiiro with tiufnl. terllip; courase, hopu ami purpose, we, tho representatives of tlio paity In Natlnnnl Convnllon nsiembled, mako tho followltiu ileelnratlnii of principles : Elrst. Tho United States of Ainetiea Is a nation, not a lenuno. Itv tho com bined wmklnui of the Nntlonal and Statu fioveniinetits under their respec tive CoiiMlttitloni tho rluhts ot every citizen are secured at home and protect ed abroad and the common welfaro pro moted. Second. Tho Ilepuhllcan parly hai preserved thoso governments to the hundredth anniversary of the nation's birth, anil they aru now embodiments of the (jreat truths spoken at Its cindlo that all men aro created equal : that they aro endowed by their Creator with certain InalU'iialilo rights, amoiiR 1 lull aro life, liberty nnd tlio pursuit of hap piness j that for tlio attainment of theo ends governments hnvo been In stituted aineni; men, deriving their lut powers from tlio consent of tho govern ed ; until tlieso truths aio cheerfully obeyed, or If need bo vlgorotiily en forced, tho work of tho Hepuhllcan paily is unfinished. Third. Tho permanent pacification of tlio Southern section of the Union, the,coiiplrte protection of all Its citizens In the free enjoyment of all their rluhts, aro duties to w tiicli tho I'emibllcaii- pailyls sacredly pledged. Tlio power to provide tor tho enfoicemi-iit of tho piinciples embodied in tho leeentcmi stltutlonal amendments Is vested by those aiiiendmcntH in tlio Congress of the United States and wo declare It to he tlm solemn obligation of tho legisla tive and executive; departments of tho government to put Into immediate and vigorous exercise all their constitution al powers for rcmovlne- any lust causes of discontent on Hits part of any class and bi'curlng to every Ameilcan cltlzru complete liherly and exact equality In me exercise ot all em', political and public lights. To this end we lm Rela tively demand a Congress and Chief I'.xectilivi) whose courage and fldelitv to these duties shall not falter until thee eMilts aie placed heyoul dispute or re call. Eouith. In tho flTf-t net of Congress signed by President (Jr.uit, the Nation al Government assumed to remove any doubts of purpose to discharge all just obligations to public creditor", and solemnly pledged Its faith to make pro vision at the earliest practicable period for icdemptlon of the United States notes in coin, Commercial prosperity. public merits and national credit de mand that tills promise be fulfilled by a conili uous and steady progress to spe cie payment. Fifth. Undet tho Constitution the President and heads of departments aro to makn nominations for ofllcc, the Senate Is to advlsa and consent to ap pointments, and tho House of lEepre- (ontatlves is to accuse nnd prosecute faithless oulcers. Tho best Interests of the public service demand that tills dis tinction be respected', that Senators and Iteprojentatives who may ho judges anil accusers should not dictate appoint ments to ofllcc. Tlio invarialilo rule for appointments should liavo reference to the honesty, fidelity and capacity of appointees, giving to the paity ln power thoio places where harmony and vigor of administration require Its policy to be presented, but permitting all others to bo filled by persons selected with tho solo reference to efficiency of public ser vlco and the right of citizens to sharo n the honor of rondering faithful service tn the country. Sixth. AVe rejoice in tho quickened con science of the people concerning politi cal affaiis, and will hold all public offi cers to a rigid responsibility, anil en gage that the prosecution and punish ment of all who betray oulclal trust shall be speedy, thoiough and unspar ing. Seventh, the public school system of the several States Is tho bulwark of the American liepublic,and with a view to its security and permanence wo reco mend an amendment to the Constitu tion of tho United States forbid Jine the application of auy public funds or pro perty for the benefit of any school or Institution under sectarian control. Eichth. Tho revenue neceSBarv for current expenditures and tho obligations of tho public debt must be largely 'de rived from the duties upon Importations which, so far as possible, should bo ad justed to promote the Interest of Ameri can labor and advance the prosperity or the whole country. Nimn. wo reaiiinn onr position to further grants of tho public lands to corporations and monopolies, and de mand that the national domain ue de voted to fren homes of tho people. Tenth. It Is tho Imperative duty of the government to modify existing treaties with European government, that tho same protection shall be afforded to adopted American citizens that U given to native born, and all necessary laws be pasted to protect emigrants in the nbsenco of powor In tho State for that purpose. Eleventh. It is tho Immediate, duty of Congress to fully Investigate the ef- icct or tno emigration anil importation of Mongolians on tho moral nnd mater ial Interests of the country. Twelfth. The Hepubllcnn party re cognizes with npproval tho Substantial niUaneo recently made towards tho es tablishment of equal rights for womuu by the many Important amendments, effected by Republican Legislatures, in tlio laws which concern the personal and propeity relations of wives.mothtrs and widows, nnd by the nppolntmeiit nnd election of women to the superin tendence of education, charities aud other public trusts; tho honest demands of tliis class of citizens for additional rights and privileges and Immunities should bo treated with icspcctful con sideration, t Thlitcenth. Tho Constitution confers upon Congress sovereign power over tho Teriltories of tho United States forthelr government, nnd in tho exercise of tills power it Is tho right and duty of Con gress to prohibit and extirpate In tho Territories that relic of barbarism, poly gamy; and wo demand such legislation ns shall secuio this end nnd tlm supre macy of American Institutions in all tho Territories. Fourteenth; Tho pledges which the nation has given to our soldiers nnd sailors must ho fulfilled ; a grateful peoplo will periled their preservation brance. Fifteenth. always hold thou who lives for the country's, In tho kindest reiuom- We sincerely deprecate nil in'g and tendencies.

A native of Ohio, Mr. Hayes has gained his academical education within tho limits of that state, commanded an Ohio regiment' during tho war nnd has parsed Ills eutlro pro fessional life at tho bar of tho state. lie is now fifty, four years olJ, having; been born at Delawaro, Ohio, October 4, 182i. He graduated at Kenyon col lege, Gainbier, Ohio, and obtained his professional education at tho Canibrldga Law school, Tho practice of his pro fesslon began In Cincinnati in Ms thirty fourth year, when ho received bis first official po-itiou ns e.ity solicitor, which ho held till tlio war broke out in 1801. Very near Its opening ho enlisted In tho Twenty-third Ohio volunteers, and si rved with the regiment till he receiv ed the command of a brigade In 180 1. His first appointment was as major, his first promotion came within less than a year, ard In September of 1S02 he held a commission as lieutenant colonel aud was In command of his regiment, which ho led into the battle' of South Moun tain. The Twenty-third regiment form ed at the time a part of General Reno's diviaion Its command devolving upon Gen. Cox, who afterwards preceded Gen. Hayes as governorafter tho death of General Heno In action operating as the right wing of tho army of the I'otomac. miring mo action uoionel Haves receivid a severe wound hi tho arm, but remained witli his regiment to the last, and was tho first otllcar wJiose command established n position at South Mountain. 1 wo years later lie had be come Brigadier General Hayed, when lie received tho republican nomination In tho Second Ohio district, a part of Hamilton county, nnd received, home nnd army vote together. 3,003 majority over Joseph liutlcr, the democratic candidate. The Ohio delegation to the Thirty-ninth congress, In which Gen. Hayes took his seat December 18G5. was remarkable for Its ability, and In cluded an unusunl number ot men who have bitico gained marked and unusual distinction In tho lepubliean party. Mr. Hubert C. Sehenok, Mr. Columbus Delano, Mr. John A. Ilingh&m, Mr. James M. Ashley and - Mr. Samuel Slipllnbirgcr worn nil members of this delegation, nnd tho oxtent nnd vnrl..t of the talent by which Mr. Haycs surrounded doubtless had much to do with tho obscurity In winch his term was passed.

It wasn't strange that Mr. Hayes, with hloas of this character In regard to tho manipulation of Fed eral ofticos.and a serviceable friend llko Mr. Delano In office, should liavo gained the nomination he had previous ly lost. Ho entered the campaign with strong odds In his favor. General Rosencrans was nominated by the demo cratle convention which met In July of that year, nnd at which Mr. Pendleton's name was peremptorily withdrawn ; tlio expected candldato refused the) nomination, however, and at a lato elito Mr. Pendleton was induced to tako tho democratic nomination. Success was senrcely pos-lblc under the clrcumsttn cos. and General Hayes carried the stato by a majority ot 7,519, or about one third that of the year before on tho stalo ticket. Tho next appearance of Mr. Hnyes as a candidate was last fall, when he was nominated on the public school platform, after a sharp contest with Judgo Taft, whose candidacy In oppo sition to Mr. Hayes was no fault of his my!,'lu,t was duo entirely to a letter which Mr. Hayes wroto tho night be fnro the convention, of which the fol lowing Is an extract : I Cinnof flllmv rnvnaniAfA ss . .
