THADDEUS STEVENS.
We publish from this morning's . Press the _ _
fol
lowing excellent sketch of the life and , eireer of
the great statesman of l'etineylvtuala, whose
° death we record to-day
Few bold leaders survive to enjoy the triumphs
of their own opinions, and none the hatreds of
their antagonists. Althongh it cannot be said
that Thaddeus Stevens has silenced the censures
of his adversaries, it cannot be denied that he
has commanded their respect. Yet a more en
during wreath may be laid upon his honored bier.
Be dies at the moment when the truths for
Which he fought a long and doubtful battle
have permanently and almost universally pre
vailed. The work to which ho dedicated himself
In early manhood, and for which, more than to
any other thing, with the single exception of
popular education, he has toiled with
unceasing perseverance, is now nearly accom
plished, and it may be claimed that his rugged
career has been finally rounded by the victory
of opinions which he could never have dreamed
would be vindicated in his own lifetime. And
if human slavery had not attempted to destroy
the American Government, Thaddeus Stevens
would hare lived and died the leader of a brave
but unsuccess'ul party. That fatal mistake for
thememies of progress—that glorloterevent for
the'ffiends of human freedom—soon proved that
be alwa3s best understood the public danger
and the public duty, and that the .surest defence
against the enemy was to deprive him of the
means upon which he had grown strong, and to
dismantle the fortress behind which he had con
ceived his plans and forged his weapons. When
Tnaddens Stevens - was born, but one theory was
recsgnized in the national law, fundamental and
statute—the theory of the Declaration of Inde
',cadence. Yet so dangerous is the slightest con
« ssion to error that the feeble poison -drop in
the Constitution of the United States—the to err-
Lion of the supposed temporary existence of hu
man slavery—quickly permeated the whole instru
ment, till, Zia little more than a generation it
had impregnated the entire body politic, mytiti
fit d great, organizations, called into being able
and aogmatic advocates, and finally, in the height
of its power, plunged the country into a civil war,
which, after incredible sacrifice of blood and
treasure, happily relieved the nation of the
detestable disease: Thaddens"'Steverts - never
believed that the, Cimatitution of the United
States was Interided to, prove the Declaration
of Independence a lie. Ile could not under
stand that the men who carefully laid
that foundation of Liberty would deliberately
build upon it a superstructure intended as a
mockery and a lure. He remembered that bat for
the General Government, the States would sooner
or later rush from their respective spheres into
deadly and exterminating conflict. And, there
fore, he became a Federalist; but not in the
sense that regretted a defeated royalism;
riot in any mope of reiving "here feeble
copies of the miserable shams, from which
his fathers had escaped—but because ho
believed that if practical freedom was evor to
find and found a home in America, it must be by
constructing a strong government—a govern
- merit strong-in the_affections of-the-people F ited
dedicated to the liberation of all mankind. He
tue ei•re, no • acra a, .
—, according, to the
aristocratic opinions attributed to Hamilton
—but simply a Federalist in his opposi
tion to the new-fangled doctrine first se
riously introduced into party platforms by John
C. Calhoun, which, tor the sake of slavery, as
serted that the States were sfide t reign iu tuem
selvt.s, and at their will and pleasuic could nul
lity every act of the Central Government not in
accordance with - tali interests.' *lf Thaddeus
Stevens hod been contemporaneous with Thomas
Jefferson he would have acted with his p irtr,
because that party was in the largest souse a
Democracy 'instinct with the Declaration
of Independence, written by Jeffersol, and
radically in sympathy with the leaders of thn
French Revolution—and by consequence radi
cally hostile to the teachings and aggressions of
the British Government. Hardly any part of the
record of Mr. Stevens Is inconsistent with tuis
estimate. His governing idea was hatred to
every form of tyranny over the minds of men,
and his steady adherence to the pole star of his
career defeats all attacks upon the sincerity of
his motives.
Thaddeus Stevens was born on the 4th of April,
1792, in the town of Danville, Caledonia county,
'Vermont. With that strong attachment for the
scenes of his childhood characterizing the natives
of all mountainous and picturesque regions, he
called his iron works in Franklin county, Penn
sylvania, "Caledonia," after the county of his
nativity. Educated at the University of Ver
mont, at Burlington, until the occupation
of that town by the British troops
during the war of 1812, at which time tam
school broke up, he was than sent to Dartmouth
College, where he completed his education. His
father was Joshua Stevens, and his mother's
maiden name was Sarah Morrill. Immediately
after leaving Dartmouth College he removed to
Pennsylvania. fixing his first residence in the
borough of York, where he taught school for a
livelihood, and read law carefully and steadily
through the intervals of the day and night. He
reached that border town in 1814, when he was
just twenty-two years of age. It was then hardly
mere than a hamlet, but among its practicing
lawyers wore some men of uncommon ability
and distinction, and its neighborhood to Mary
-1 ind not wily brought Mr. Stevens In contact
ith the pc liticiaLs and leaders in that State, but
ci a rid 116 to) el, to the CA its of human slavery as
these were diiilayeel in the mild form of that in
itialon as it then existed in the State of Carroll
and Calvert lie commenced his studies with
David Cassel, a prominent York county lawyer,
and prosecuted them with characteristic eneriry.
In 1814 Henry Clay was it, the zenith of his
fame, and it is easy to believe that the example of
the brilliant Kentuckian, us a member and
Speaker of the House of Representatives of the
United States, and his eloquence against the ag
gressions of Great Britain, produced a strong im
pression upon the mind of young Stevens. Bat
Thaddeus Stevens, doubtless because he had
come into Penasyivania frr are purpose of seek
ing his fortune, however keenly and closely he
observed the acts of public men, and studied the
events of the times, waited many years bafore
he participated in politics. Numerous anec
dotes are told of him by the old residen , s
of York. during the two years he taught school
and studied law in their midst. His indus
try, his wit, his eloquence, his legal acumen, his
large reading, and his daring devotion to what
he believed to be - igtit, made him a general fa
vorite, and when he removed in 1816 to the ad
joining county of Adams, where he was at once
admitted to the bar, he soon rose to the head of
his profession—a position which he maintained
to the last without a rival, and frequently with
out a competitor. No commanding benevolence,
no leading public work, nothing calculated to
improve his fellow-men, or the district In which
he lived, was projected or completed without his
efficient aid and generous contribution; and
when, in 1833, he became a candidate for the
State Legislature, no was elected almost without
opposition, holdirg his seat up to 1835, when he
was chosen a member of the convention to revise
the Constitution of the State.
There is one side of the character of Thaddeus
Stel ens to which, unfortunately, no justice can
be done. No public man was ever more famous
for ready original humor, and if, like Sidney
Smith, he had been an essayist, and in theba
bitual exercise of letter-writing; or if, like Dr.
Johnson, he had possessed a faithful and con
genial Boswell, the volumes containing his
works and his sayings would have constituted
a precious legacy to his countrymen. Mach of
his wit was exceedingly personal, savoring of
snore than the Attic salt; and partaking too fre
quent!, of the gall of bitterness; but it was often
remaraf , l, even by those who suffered most
keenly from his quick and unerring shafts, that
no man was more ready to repair the injuries
he inflicted, or go further on occasion to serve a
political foe: yet his irony .was unsparing and
impartial, and more than once he delighted his
adversaries by the manner in which he exposed
the timidity of his party associates.
He was the monarch of the bar at which he
practised, and his speeches before the juries,
though unreported, ore still quoted by the gene
'rations that have followed his departed com
hanions; but his jokes in the professional, and
is repartee in the social circle, his grim Bar-
CLIMB, his keen fleshes and his inimitable play
apon_words In the public bodies, where he
always reigned supreme, have not been, and can
not be recovered. -He was, of all living men,
the most collected and undaunted as a party
leader or a public debater, and where he tailed
be in a great measure redeemed his defeat by
the courage with which he maintained
. the controversy to the last. Even the
celebrated "Buckshot War," growing . out
PI the election — for Governor in 1838, of
V *
which he was the 'Wowed leader, and which his
friends and himself are Willing to forget, was
redeemed from lastiug condemnAtlon by the fact.
that it elicited coma of the finest flights of his
'rhetoric and some of the best exhibitions of his
Wit: We look buck - to the Buckehot'war and me
opposition. w klasonry, , with its-so-called - Star
Cliareher'Committee, and the speeches of George
M. Dallas anti the'Rev. Mr. Sproul; the letter of
Govt rnor Wolle. e and the intens) agitation among
the membtris of that still influential order, and
their nugry attack's upon Mr. Stevens for having
summoned these distinguished men before his In
vestigatirg committee, and for a moment we
stand in the midst of the strong passions of that
pelted—hear the shouts of the contending fac
tions, and see the long lines of military called
from the different parts of the State for the pur
pose of suppressing what was charged to bo
au insurtectiun against the will of the
pr ople—and yet, as we turn to the
generation around ns, wo dud nearly all those
things iolgotten. The part played by Mr. Ste
vens in that curious drama is generally forgotten
or forgiven by his political adversaries; but he is
remembered with gratitude by every poor man
and woman in the - State for his magnificent
championship of popular education. They do
not pause to think of Thaddeus Stevens as the
counsellor of Joseph Ritner, or the confederate
of William B. Reed, in the great anti-Masonic
inquisition ; they cherish him as the indomitable
and sleepless pioneer of the cause which enables
every child in the commonwealth to aspire to the
highest position in the nation. When he
broached the grand design of taxing the
people for the education of their children,
a storm of obloquy and of opposition
rose around him.,The people of Adams,
who had followed him with such unquestioning
fidelity on all other subjects, refused to second
hie educational movement; and again and and
again they instructed him to change his course.
His answer was renewed efforts in the holy cause,
alias wore defiant disobedience of their man
datt.s; till at last, persuaded by the splendid auda
city of his eloquence, and the unfailing courage
of perseverance, they came back to his side, and
enthusiastically re-elected him. The school law
Was pee& d, and had just been put Into operation,
with the sanction of all Intelligent and benevo
lent men; but it had still to contend with
a double opposition. The miserly and
ignorant wealthy every where • combined to
bring it into. _disrepute, and a Legislature.
pledged to its reperu _wits elected by an over
whelming Majority. Positively instructed to
expunge the glorious law from the statute book,
the members were on the eve of complying,
when Thaddeus Stevens fApril 13, 1835,1 rose fn
his seat and pronounced that speech which will
stand a perpetual monument to his name. All
the barriers of prejudice broke down before it.
It reacheil men's hearts like the voice of Inspira
tion. • Those who were almost ready to take the
life of Thaddeus Stevens, a few weeks before,
were instantly converted into his admirers
.and friends. During its delivery, in the _
hall of the House at Harrisburg, the scene was
one of dramatic interest and intensity. Thad
dens Stevens was then 43 years of age, and in the
prime of life, end his classic countenance, noble
voice, and cultivated style, added to the fact that
be was speaking the holiest truths and for the
noblest otnll - human - causes,: created such afeel- -
Me Reams his fulhriw-memhera that far mien at
least our State legislators rose above all selfish
feelings and responded to the instincts of a high
er nature. Tee motion to repeal the law failed,
and the number of votes pledged to sustain it
were changed ui on the spot, and what seemed
to be an inevitable defeat was transformed into
a crowning victory for the frieuds of common
Echcoh.
At the time of this his greatest victory, Thad
dens Stevens was the proclaimed and persistent
foe of human slavery, and it is natural to believe
that one motive for his fervent support of popu
lar education was the belief that nothing was re
quired to overthrow a system so abhorrent to
God and man but the elevation and enlighten
ment of the American masses—his expectations
will not be disappointed.
In 1886 Mr. Stevens was elected a member of
the convention to revise the Constitution of the
State of Pennsylvania. There were one hundred
and thirty-three members in the convention—
men carefully bele( ted by the people for their ex
pel ience, patriotism and integrity, representing
all interests and nearly all professions, the mem
bers of the bar, as usual, largely in the majority.
e are now reaping the fruits of the great
blunder conirnittcel thirty years ago by inserting
the word "white" into the clause of the consti
tution, defining the qualifications of voters.
Against that blunder Thaddeus Stevens protested
with all lis mia,ht, and when it was perpetrated
he (eased to take any interest in the proceedings
of the convention, and in disgust refused to
Lis 114111 e to the ani...nded instrument. The
corn St in tin R. form Convention of Pennsyl
vania on this subject was a memorable one—a
fact easy to understand as we rend the prophetic
Invective of Thaddeus Stevens. The debate was
hot. angry, and protrrted, and the measure
Itself only prevailed by if small vote.
Mr. Stevens resumes his seat in the Legisla
ture before the adjournment of the Ste Conven
tion. In 1838 he was appointed a canal com
missioner. The next we bear of him is his promi
nent part in thereat campaign against Martin
Van Buren, which resulted in the election of Gen.
Harrison to the Presidency, an event soon suc
ceeded by his death, and by the treachery of the
Vice President, John Tyler.
In 1842, at fifty years of age, Mr. Stevens
realized that his excessive attention to politics
had compelled him to neglect his private affairs,
and especially his large furnace, Caledonia. ha
found himself insolvent, with debts of over two
hundred thuusand dollars, incurred partly
thr.ugh his pellucid expenses, yet mainly by his
partner in the iron business; and to liquidate
them was equally his study and his resolve. The
}qualm of the law, even with his commanding
pesithth at the Gettysburg bar, offered no pros
pect for ppyir g off so large a sum, and there
fore, in pursuit of a more remunerative field,
lie change, Lis abode to Lancaster, where
he has seer since resided. fits partner took the
benefit of the bankrupt law of 1841, but Mr.
Stevens set hiruselt to hard work, and after years
of toll, paid ull all his liabilities, principal and

Hut est: mig,lll, leave his vindication to his
worst pi !Meal lidrer:taivs,even those at his own

always tollowed his Liberal professions. No
charily (Aur appealed to him in vain, no poor
man or w ()man ever left bia door empty-handed,,
and it may he said that if he died without for
tune, it was neeaube he loved to share his wealth
among his ue foe eutiatc fellow-ceed.turcs. In all
things his liberality was Impartial.
Ile hen the ted'es.ot Lancaster called upon him
for a seta' ipticie to their Orphans' School he
declined the re q_..cst on toe ground that they re
fused adm , ssiiiii to colored children, saying: "I
never will, heaven helping me, encourage a sys
tem which Conics education to any one of God
Almighty's htuschu , d." A few months before
his death, while thinking of selecting his burial
ground, be remembered that he was the owner of
two lots in two of the leading cemeteries of Lan
caster,' but, , learning that their charters denietl
interment to the colored people, ho sold them
both, and purchased a square of ground in what
Is known as Shreiner's Cemetery, on North Mul
berry street, where he will sleep his last sleep. Nor
was this conduct contrasted by unreasoning
opposition to the men who had kept
the colored race in slavery, and plunged
the country into civil war. The rebels
who visited Washington could best
describe his way of receiving them. Nut one of
them ever visited him or asked his aid without
a pleasant greeting, and Lfrequently with a more
substantial response. He never would consent to
legislate for the restoration of the class that had
led and persevered in the oppression of the
colored people, but when it came to individuals,
whether in recommending their pardon or
alleviating their distress, none wore in ad
vance of --- Lim. He was never what - is
called a strict constructionist; he never accepted
the Constitution as a chain upon progressive ac
tion; a tact that will account for his belief that a
free country, especially when called upon to sup
press a bloody rebellion, should not be restrained
by any law, written or fundamental, enacted for
a different condition of public affairs. In voting

It is utterly impossible to •do justice to Mr.
Stevens, as a national charaCter, in' a newspaper
sketch, however elaborate. The materials aro
equally worthy the patient analysis of the histo
rian and the careful study of the biographer. Wo
see the man in a new light and on a larger theatre.
Having previously conteidcd, as we have shown,
with gigantic intellects, in gigantic struggles,
be began his Congressional experience us a vete
ran, and in Congress, as elsewhere, his com
manding intellect and - `large experience placed
him instantly in the front rank. Indeed ho
assumed a first position as if it belonged to
him, and although sometimes assailed by his
enemies as too much of a leader, and some
times complained of by his friends as too much
of a dictator, yet there .was hardly a day that
all parties did not concede him the mastership.
Thaddeus Stevens did not always assume to be
a politic, and therefore was not always a popu
lar parliamentary general; he made mistakes that
frequently terrified his friends, but ho made
amends by the candor with which he confessed
them, and the sincerity with which he attempted
to repair them. He was extremely careful when
assuming an original position or proclaiming a
novel opinion to take . the whole responsibility,
so that when his adversaries attempted to hold
his—party accountable, ho could insist upon
carrying all the unpopularity himself; and yet
nothing contributed more to lthe strength of the
Republican party than the boldness with which
he attacked the wrongs of slavery, and the
promptitude with which in the dark hours ho
placed himself in the lead. Thaddeus Stevens
was not a theorist. Passionately attached to
his convictions, be never aticklod at his opin
ions. To carry the one to triumph he readily
conceded or changed.- the others, and thus he
combined in his nature' the,rarest aptitudes of
the statesman and the politician, showing him
self a philosopher and a common-sense man at
the same time. Nothing escaped him; he took
part. hi the most trilling legislation; never out of
his seat unless-forced-to take his bed by order of
his physician, he frequently shamed the younger
members of the House by refusing to stir from
his post; and the writer of these lines remembers
more than ono occasion when Congress sat from
noon of one day to almost noon of the next, that
the example of Thaddeus Stevens, and particu
larly his unwearied diligence and good humor,
rallied his own party and kept the Opposition on
the watch. His supreme object - Wee the overthrow
of slavery, and' the rebellion as the creature
of slavery; and to dethrone a colossal evil and a
colossal crinmhe employed only-Colossal-weap
ons. As the champion of home industry ,and the
enemy of free trade, he only carried out the views
with which he entered public life, and as ho lived
long enough to realize that, if his predictions on
the slavery question and his anticipations of
popular education were confirmed, so he lived
long enough — to — prOVelliartarffron burdened withwith
anoh n ,i,-ht no nnna nnrl antlinnr esof ,tin
mission of evangelizing an empire heretofore
addicted to and degraded undef the opera
tions of human slavery, could no more
work out its salvation with free trade, than tree
trade could work out Its ends without ignoraneit
to help it. Harmonious with all his convictions,
and going hand in band with all his actions, were
his t irons for the representation of the colored
people of the South. He saw that in the District
of Columbia, the .seat of the National Govern
ment. the great experiment of equal justice must
b of necessity boldly and promptly tried, and
tht efore he gave to this measure and to the task
of •ongenial legislation an especial and peculiar
at ention. The result is the triumph of universal
suffrage in the cities of the District of Columbia,
and the improvement alike of black and white'
Mr. Stevens's foreign policy was always in ac
cord with his liberal principles. He did not have
one set of doctrines for his own people, and an
other for the people of other countries. Among
the firvt to recognize and applaud the emancipa
tion of the Russian serfs, he always sympathized
with the republicans of Mexico, and 'with char
acteristic generosity was willing to run the risk
of endorsing the bond's of the latter to assist
them in their great struggle.
No selfish motive ever animated Thaddeus Ste
vens; he was equally indifferent to praise or
blame. With-a character poised in conscious
rectitude, and strong in an enormous- will, he
always planted himself upon a logical purpose,
and marched on, and straight forward, until that
purpose was achieved. He was neither self
asserting nor deferential in manner; neither
demanding nor soliciting the good opin
ions of men, but in all his actions seemed to
say, "I am just what I am, whether you
like me or not." He was undoubtedly, all
things considered, the ablest political or parlia
mentary leader of his day or time. Tall in sta
ture, deliberate in utterance and in gesticulation,
with a massive head, and features so remarkable
that no one who flaw him once could ever forget
him, his whole presence conveyed the idea of
dignity and force. Ms forehead was uncommonly
high and broad, his features bold and striking,
his brows projecting, and his cavernous eyes
bright, piercing, and full of expression. He was
simple and direct in his conversation, and when
he listened he locked, as it were, into the very
soul of the speaker, piercing clear through du
plicity, and laying bare all deceit. He was never
declamatory, and rarely eloquent, yet everybody
listened to him; and he had that personal and in
describable magnetism by which some men lead
other men, but which is never separated from
strong intellect and unbending determination.
In his last resting place let no hatred follow him.
As Charles Lamb has beautifully said: "It is a
trait of human nature, for which I love it, that
man wars not with the dead, for the dt ad are no
man's enemies."

THE CARE OF . HOESES.—The Society for the
_Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have tuned a
• circular, in which they call attention to the suf
fering of animals in our streets during the hot
weather, and recommend the wet sponge upon
the head of the horse or mule; to furnish them
with drinking'water as often as practicable, and
at the same time to cool the mouth and face
with wet sponges; and to throw buckets of
water upon the legs, and such parts as are liable
to chafe by perspiration or otherwise; to drive
slow, and lessens:the weight usually imposed
in cooler weather; to relieve, them of -the
weight of their loads when at rest by the use
of the prop-stick; to loosen the check-rein, or
dispense with it altogether; and lastly, to see
that the harness is not unnecessarily camber
some and;heavy, the bridle of; which might be
materially relieved by taking oft the• eye-blinds.
Upon the passenger railroad lines the committee
advise slow driving; to use the sponge; .to,-have
men stationed at proper distances . along the
route with buckets of cool water 'for watering
and other purposes; and the' committee particu
larly recommend, a head-shelter or awning, cod
structed.of wire and covered with canvas, which
can be attached to the head' without materially
adding weight. The committee. earnestly, re
quest the'directors of these lines to iforbid• the
overloading of these cars, and avoid whipping:_:,

Schurz will be able to make in Pennsylvania.
7he lietipublicaun Platform.
The National Republican Party of the United
States, assembled in National Conrention in the
City of Chicago, on the 20th day of May, 1868,
make the folOp fog declaration of principles
1. We congratulate the country on the assured
SUCCe£I3 of the Reconstruction policy of Congress,
as evinced - by - the sd • in - the - majority of - the
States lately in rebellion, of Constitutions wear
ing equal civil and political rights to all, and it
is the duty of the Government .to sustain those
constitutions, and to prevent the people of such
States from being remitted to a state of an
archy.
2. The gtuarantee by Congress of equal suffrage
by every consideration of public safety, of grati
tude and of justice; and must be maintained;
while the question of suffrage in all the loyal
States properly belongs to the people of those
States. . .
3. We denounce all forms of repudiation as a
National crime; and the National honor requires
the payment of the public indebtedness ut the
uttermost goo:L.IMM to all creditors at home and
abroad, not only according to the letter but the
spirit of the laws under which it was contracted.
4. It is duo to the labor of the nation that
taxation, should be equalized and reduced as
rapidly as the National faith will permit.
o. The National debt contracted, as it has been,
for the preservation of the Union for all time to
come, should be extended over a fair period for
redemption; and it is the duty of Congress to
reduce the rate of interest thereon, whenever it
can be honestly done. .
6. That the beat policy to rliminlah our burde n
' of debt is to so improve our credit that capital
ists will seek to loan us money at lower rates of
Interest than, we now pay, and must continue to
pay,Eo long as repudiation, partial or total, open
or covert, is threatened or suspected.
7. The government of the United States shonid
be administered with the strictest economy, and
the corruptions which have been so shamefully
nursed and fostered by Andrew Johnson call
loudly for-radical reform.
8 We profoundly deplore the untimely and
tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, and regret the
accession of Andrew Johnson to the Presidency,
who has acted treacherously to the people who
elected him, and the eausehe was pledged to sup--
port; who has usurped high legislative and judi
cial fanctions; who has refused to execute the
laws; who has used his high office to induce
other officers to ignore and violate the
laws; who has employed his exe
cutive pbwers to render insecure the
property, the pence, liberty, anti life of the citi
zen; who has abused the pardoning power; who
It e denounced the National Legislature as un
constitutional; who' has persistently and cor
ruptly resisted, by every; measure in his power,
every- proper attempt at the reconstruction of
the States lately,ln rebellion; who has perverted
the public patronage intoln engine of wholesale
corruption, and who has beeTh justly impeached
for high crimes and misdemeanors, and properly
pronounced guilty thereof by the vote of 3,5
Senator&
9. The doctrine of Great Britain and other Eu-
ropean powers, that because a man is once a sub
ject be is always so, must be resisted at every ha
zard by the United States, tits a relic of the feudal
times, not authorized by the law of nations, and
t war with our national honor and independence.
Naturalized citizens are entitled to be protected
in all their rights of citizenship as though they
were native born, and no citizen of the United
States, native or naturalized, must be liable to
arrest and imprisonment by anY foreign power
for acts done or words spoken in this country;
and if so arrested and imprisoned it is the duty
of the Government tolnterfere In hislaehalf.
10. Of all who Were'faithful in the trials of the
late war, there were none entitled to more espe
cial honor than the brave snifflers and seamen
who endured the hardships of campaign and
cruise, and imperiled their lives in the service of
the country; the bounties and pensionsprovided
by the laws for these brave defenders of the na
tion are obligations never to be forgotten; the
widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the
wards of the people, a sacred legacy bequeathed
to the nation's proteeting,care.
11. Foreign immigration—Which in the past has
added so much to the wealth, development and
resources and increase of power to this nation,
the asylum of the oppressedof all nations—should
be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just
policy.
12. This Convention declares itself in sympathy
with all the oppressed people which are strug
gling for their rights. •
13. That we highly commend the spirit of mag
nanimity and forbearance with „which the men
who have served in the rebellion, but now frankly
and honestly co-operate with us in restoring the
peace of the country ,aid reconstructing. the,
Southern State Governments upon the basis of
impartial justice and equal rights, are received
back into the communion , of the loyal people;
and we favor the removal of the disqualifications
and restrictions imposed ,upon the late Rebels in
he same measare„as their ~ spirit, of loyalty will -
direct, and as may be consistent with the safety
of the loyal people.
14. That we recognize the great principles laid
'down in the immortal Declaration of Indepen
dence as the true foundation of, democratie,:gov
ernment, and we hail with ^ gladness every effort
toward making- these principles a living reality
on every inch of :American Soil.
