Entered a cording to act of congress, in the year iST-i By Cline and M^Haffie. ill the office of the LibraTiaU' of Congress, -at WasMngtoi \1\ DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. IN CONGEBSS, TUESDAY, JULY 4, 1776. Agreeably to the order of the day, the Congress resolved itself into a committee of the whole, to take into their further consideration the Declaration ; and, after some time, the Pres ident resumed the chair, and Mr. Harrison reported that the committee had agreed to a declaration, which they desired him to report. ( The committee consisted of Jefferson, Frank lin, John Adams, Sherman, and R. R. Livingston.) The Declaration being read, was agreed to, as follows : A DECLA.RATION BY THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED. When, in the course of human events, ic becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have con nected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect for the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal ; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights ; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from tho coasent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, (3; DECLARATION OF IMDEPENDENCE. and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes ; and, accordingly, all experience hath shown tliat mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invari ably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colo nies, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having, in direct object, the establishment of. an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world : He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained ; and, when so suspended, he has utteily neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature — a right inestim able to them, and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of thsir public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved representative homes repeatedly for oppos ing, with manly firmness, his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused, for a long time after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise, the State remaining, in the meantime ex- DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. posed to all the danger of invasion from without, and convul sions within. He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States ; for that purpose, obstructing the laws for naturaliza tion of forei < ners ; refusing to pass others to encourage their emigration hither, and raising the conditions of new appro priations of lands. He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refus ing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. He has made judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure of their offices and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their sub stances. He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the consent of our legislature. He has affected to render the military independent of, and superior to, the civil power. He has com^yined, with others, to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation: For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us; For protecting tham, by mock trial, from punishment, for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these States; For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world ; For imposing taxes on us without our consent; For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury- For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses. For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neigh boring province, establishing therein an arbitary government, and enlarging its boundaries, so as to render it at once an ex ample and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these colonies ; For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable DECIARATION OP INDEPENDENCE. laws, and altering, fundamentally, the powers of our govern ments ; For suspending our own legislature, and declaring them selves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection, and waging war against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coast, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is, at this time, transporting large armies of foreign mer cenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and ty ranny, already begun, with circumstances of cruelty and per fidy scarcely parnlleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow-citizens, taken captive on the high seas, to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends arid brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction, of all ages, sexes, and conditions. In every stage of these oppressions,, we have petitioned for redress, in the most humble terms ; our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a ty rant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nnr have we been wanting in attention to our British breth ren. We have warned them, from time to time, of attempts made by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdic tion over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them, by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They, too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war — in peace, friends. We, therefore, the representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in GENERAL CONGRESS assembled, ap pealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, Free and Independent States ; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connec tions between them and the State of Great Britain, is, and ought to be, totally dissolved; and that, as FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which INDEPENDENT STATES may of right do. And for the support of this Declara tion, with a firm reliance on the protection of DIVINE PROV IDENCE, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

Whereas, One of the greatest necessities of the age, in a political, commercial, postal, and military point of view, is a speedy communication between the Pacific and Atlantic coasts ; therefore, be it resolved, 7. That the National Democratic party do hereby pledge themselves to use every means in their power to secure the passage of some bill, to the extent of the Constitutional au thority by Congress, for the construction of a railroad to the Pacific Ocean at the earliest practicable moment. PLATFORM OF THE DOUGLAS PARTY OF 1860. Resolved, That we, the Democracy of the Union in Conven tion assembled, hereby declare our affirmation of the resolu tions unanimously adopted and declared as a platform of prin ciples by the Democratic Convention at Cincinnati, in the year 1856, believing that Democratic principles are unchanga- ble in their nature when applied to the same subject matter, and we recommend as our only further resolutions the follow ing: That inasmuch as differences of opinion exist in the Demo cratic party as to the nature and extent of the powers of a Territorial Legislature, and as to the powers and duties of Con gress, under the Constitution of the United States, over the institution of slavery in the territories ; Resolved, That the Democratic party will abide by the de cision of the Supreme Court of the United States over the in stitution of slavery in the territories. Resolved, That it is the duty of the United States to afford ample and complete protection to all its citizens, at home or abroad, and whether native or foreign born. Resolved, That one of the necessities of the age, in a mili tary, commercial, and postal point of view, is a speedy com^ munication between the Atlantic and Pacific States, and the Democratic party pledge such constitutional enactment as will insure the construction of a railroad to the Pacific coast at the earliest practical period. 58 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. Resolved, That the Democratic party are in favor of the ac quisition of the Island of Cuba, on such terms as shall be hon orable to ourselves and just to Spain. Resolved, That the enactments of State Legislatures to de feat the faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave Law are hos tile in character, subversive to the Constitution, and revolu tionary in their effect. Resolved, That it is in accordance with the Cincinnati Plat form, that during the existence of Territorial Governments, the measure of restriction, whatever it may be, imposed by the Federal Constitution on the power of the Territorial Leg islature over the subject of the domestic relations, as the same has been or shall hereafter be decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, should be respected by all good citizens, and enforced with promptness and fidelity by every branch of the General Government. THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM OF 1860. Resolved, That we, the delegated representatives of the Re publican electors of the United States, in Convention assem bled, in the discharge of the duty we owe to our constituents and our country, unite in the following resolutions : 1. That the history of the nation during the last four years has fully established the propriety and necessity of the organ ization and perpetuation of the Republican party, and that the causes which called it into existence are permanent in their nature, and now, more than ever, demand its peaceful and constitutional triumph. 2. That the maintenance of the principles promulgated in the Declaration of Independence, and embodied in the Federal Constitution, that " all men are created equal ; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are those of life, liberty and the pursuit of happi ness, and that Governments are instituted among men to secure the enjoyment of these rights, deriving their just power from the consent of the governed " — are essential to the pres ervation of our republican institutions, and that the Federal Constitution, the rights of the States, and the union of the States, must and shall be preserved. POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 69 3. That to the union of the States this nation owes its unpre cedented increase in population, its surprising developments of material resources ; its rapid augmentation of wealth ; its happiness at home and its honor abroad; and we hold in abhorrence all schemes for disunion, come from whatever source they may ; and we congratulate the country that no ^Republican member of Congress has uttered or countenanced the threats of disunion as often made by the Democratic mem bers of Congress, without rebuke and with applause from their political associates ; and we denounce those threats of disunion in case of a popular overthrow of their ascendency, as denying the vital principles of a free Government, and as an avowal of contemplated treason which it is the imperative duty of an indignant people sternly to rebuke and forever silence. 4. That the maintenance inviolate, of the rights of the States, and especially of each State, to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgment ex clusively, is essential to that balance of power on which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric depends ; and we denounce the lawless invasion by armed force of the soil of any State or Territory, no matter under what pretext, as one of the gravest of crimes. 5. That the present Democratic Administration has far ex ceeded our worst apprehensions in the measureless subserviency to the exactions of a sectional interest, as especially evinced in its desperate exertions to force the infamous Lecompton Constitution upon the protesting people of Kansas, construing the relation between master and servant to involve an unqual ified property in persons ; in its attempted enforcement every where, on land and sea, through the intervention of Congress and of the Federal Courts, of the extreme pretensions of a purely local interest; and in its general and unvarying abuse of the power entrusted to it by a confiding people. 6. That the people justly view with alarm the reckless ex- trava-gance which pervades every department of the Federal Government. That a return to right economy and accounta bility is indispensible to arrest the plunder of the public treasury by favored partisans, while the recent startling devel opments of frauds and corruption at the Federal metropolis show that an entire change of administration is imperatively demanded. 60 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 7. That the new dogma that the Constitution of its own force carries slavery into any or all the Territories of the United States, is a dangerous political heresy, at variance with the explicit provisions of that instrument itself, with cotempo- raneous exposition, and with legislative and judicial prece dents, that it is revolutionary in its tendency and subversive of the peace and harmony of the country. S. That the nominal condition of all the territory of the United States is that of freedom ; that as .our Republican fath ers, when they had abolished slavery in all our national terri tory, ordained that no person should be deprived of life, liberty O) property without due process of law, it becomes our duty hy legislation, whenever such legislation is necessary, to maintain this provision of the Constitution against all attempts to violate it ; and we deny the authority of Congress, or a Ter ritorial Legislature, or of any individual, to give legal existence to slavery in any Territory of the United States. 9. That we brand the recent re-opening of the African Slave Trade, under the cover of our national flag, aided by perver sions of judicial power, as a crime against humanity, and a burning shame to our country and age; and we call upon Congress to take prompt and efficient measures for the total and final suppression of that exercrable traffic. 10. That in the recent vetoes by their Federal Governors of the acts of the Legislatures of Kansas and Nebraska, pro hibiting slavery in these Territories, we find a practical illustration of the boasted Democratic principles of non-inter vention and Popular Sovereignty, embodied in the Kansas- Nebraska bill, and a demonstration of the deception and fraud involved therein. 11. That Kansas should, of right, be immediately admitted as a State under the Constitution recently formed and adopted by her people, and accepted by the House of Representatives. 12. That while providing revenue for the support of the General Government, by duties upon imports, sound policy requires such an adjustment of these imports as to encourage the development of the industrial interests of the whole country, and we commend that policy of National Exchange which secures to the working men liberal wages, agriculture remunerative prices, to merchants and manufacturers an ade- POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 61 quate reward for their skill, labor and enterprise, and to the nation commercial prosperity and independence. 13. That we protest against any sale or alienation to others of the public lands held by actual settlers, and against any view of the free homestead policy, which regards the settlers as paupers or suppliants for public bounty, and we demand the passage by Congress of the complete and satisfactory homestead measure which has already passed the House. 14. That the National Republican party is opposed to any change in our naturalization laws, or any State Legislation, by which the rights of citizenship hitherto accorded to immigrants from foreign lands shall be abridged or impaired, and in favor of giving a full and efficient protection to the rights of all classes of citizens, whether native or naturalized, both at home and abroad. 15. That appropriations by Congress for river and harbor improvements of a national character, is required for the ac- cpmmodation and security of an existing commerce, or au thorized by the Constitution and justified by the obligation of the Government 'to protect the lives and property of its citizens. 16. That a railroad to the Pacific ocean is imperatively de manded by the interests of the whole country ; and that the Federal Government ought to render immediate and efficient aid in its construction, and that preliminary thereto, a daily overland mail should be promptly established. 17. Finally, having thus set forth, our distinctive principles and views, we invite the co-operation of all citizens, however differing in other questions, who substantially agree with us, in their affirmance and support. PLATFORM OF THE NATIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL PARTY OF 1860. The Union, the Constitution and the Laws. 62 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. UNION .PLATFORM, ADOPTED AT BALTIMORE, JUNE 8,. 1864. Resolved, That it is the highest duty of every American citizen to maintain against all its enemies, the integrity of the Union, and the paramount authority of the Constitution ani laws of the United States, and that, laying all political opin ions aside, we pledge ourselves, as Union men, animated by a common sentiment, and aiming at a common object,'to da everything in our power to aid the Government in quelling^, by force of arms, the rebellion now raging against its author ity, and bringing to the punishment due to their crimes, the rebels and traitors arrayed against it. Resolved, That we approve the determination of the Gov ernment of the United States not to compromise with rebelfr or to offer any terms of peace, except such as may be based upon an unconditional surrender of their hostility, &c., an^ a return to their just allegiance to the Constitution and laws of the United States, and that we call upon the Government to maintain this position, and to prosecute the war with the ut most possible vigor to the complete suppression of the rebel lion, in full reliance upon the self-sacrifices, the patriotifeihjjj the heroic valor, and the undying devotion of the American: people to their country and its free institutions. - Resolved, That slavery was the cause, and now constitute; the strength of the rebellion, and that as it must be always* and everywhere hostile to the principles of Republicaa Gov ernments, justice and the national safety demand its utter and. complete extirpation from the soil of the Republic, and that we uphold and maintain the acts and proclamations by whick the Government, in its own defence, has aimed a death blow at this gigantic evil. We are in favor, furthermore, of such. an amendment to the Constitution, to be made by the people; in conformity with its provisions, as shall terminate and for ever prohibit the existence of slavery within the limits of ther jurisdiction of the United States. Resolved^ That the thanks of the American people are due to the soldiers and sailors of the army and navy, who have periled their lives in defence of their country, and in vindir cation of the honor of the flag ; that the nation owes them some permanent recognition of their patriotism and their valor, and ample and permanent provision for those of their survivors who have received disabling and honorable woundl POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 63 in the service of their country, and that the memories of those who have fallen in its defense, shall bo held in grateful and everlasting remembrance. Resolved, That we approve and applaud the political wis dom, the unselfish patriotism and unswerving fidelity to the Constitution and the principles of American liberty with which Abraham Lincoln has discharged, under circumstances of unparalelled difficuly, the great duties and responsibilities of the Presidential office ; that we approve and endorse, as demanded by the emergency and essential to the preservation of the nation, and as within the Constitution, the measures and acts which he has adopted to defend the nation against its open and secret foes ; especially the Proclamation of Emanci pation, and the employment, as Union soldiers, of men hereto fore held in slavery, and that we have full confidence in his determination to carry these and all other Constitutional measures, essential to the salvation of the country, into full and complete effect. Resolved, That we deem it essential to the general welfare, that harmony should prevail in the national councils, and we regard as worthy of public confidence and official trust those only who cordially endorse the principles proclaimed in these resolutions, and which should characterize the administration of the Government. Resolved, That the Government owes to all men employed in its armies, without distinction of color, the full protection of tho laws of war, an^ any violation of these laws and of the usages of civilized nations in the time of war, by the rebels now in arms, should be made the subject of full and prompt redress. Resolved, That the foreign immigration, which in the past has added so much to the wealth and development of resources and increase of power to this nation, the asylum of the oppress ed of all nations, should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy. Resolved, That we are in favor of the speedy construction of the railroad to the Pacific. Resolved, That the national faith is pledged for the redemp tion of the public debt and must be kept inviolate; and that for this purpose we recommend economy and rigid responsi bilities in the public expenditures, and a vigorous and just 64 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. system of taxation ; that it is the duty of every loyal State to sustain the use of the national currency. Resolved, That we approve the position taken by the Gov ernment, that the people of the United States can never regard with indifference the attempt of European power to overthrow by force, or to supplant by fraud, the institutions of any Re publican government on the Western Continent, and that they will view with extreme jealousy, as menacing to the peace and independence of this our country, the efforts of any such power to obtain new footholds for monarchial governments sustained by a foreign military force in near proximity to the United States. FREMONT PLATFORM, ADOPTED AT CLEVELAND, MAY 31, 1864. 1. That the Federal Union must be preserved, 2. That the Constitution and laws of the United States must be observed and obeyed. 3. That the rebellion must be suppressed by the force of arms, and without compromise. 4. That the rights of Free Speech, Free Press, and the Habeas Corpus must be held inviolate, save in districts where martial law has been proclaimed. 5. That the rebellion has destroyed slavery, and the Fed eral Constitution should be amended to prohibit its re-estab lishment. 6. That the right for asylum, except for crime, and subject to law, is a recognized principle — a principle of American lib erty ; that any violation of it must not be overlooked, and must not go unrebuked. 7. That the National policy known as the Monroe doctrine has become a recognized principle, and that the establishment of an anti-republican form of government on this continent by a foreign power can not be tolerated. 8. That the gratitude and support of the nation is due to the faithful soldiers, and the earnest leaders of the Union army and navy, for their heroic achievements and valor in defense of our imperiled country and of civil liberty. 9. That the one term policy for the Presidency adopted by POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 65 the people is strengthened by the existing crisis, and shall be maintained by constitutional amendments. 10. That the Constitution shall be so amended that the President and Vice President shall be elected by a direct vote of the people. 11. That the reconstruction of the rebellious States belongs to the people through their representatives in Congress, and not to the Executive. 12. That the confiscation of the lands of the rebels and their distribution among the sSldiers aud actual settlers is a measure of justice ; that integrity and economy are demanded at all times in the measures of the government, and that now the want of this is criminal. NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM OF 1864. Resolved, That in the future, as in the past, we will adhere with unswerving fidelity to the Union under the Constitution as the only solid foundation of our strength, security and hap. piness as a people, and as a framework of government equally conducive to the welfare and prosperity of all the States, both Northern and Southern. Resolved, That this Convention does explicitly declare, as the sense of the American people, that after four years of fail ure to restore the Union by experiment of war, during which, nnder the pretence of military necessity or war power higher than the Constitution, the Constitution itself has been disre garded in every part, and public liberty and private right alike trodden down, and the material prosperity of the country es sentially impaired, justice, humanity, liberty and the public welfare demand that immediate efforts be made for a cessation of hostilities with a view to an ultimate convention of the States, or other peaceable means, to the end that at the earli est practical moment peace may be restored on the basis of the Federal Union of the States. Resolved,, That the direct interference of the military au thorities of the United States in the recent elections held in Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and Delaware was a shameful 5 QQ POLITICAL PLATFORMS. violation of theConstitution, and a repetition of such acts in the approaching election will be held as revolutionary, and re sisted with all the means and power under our control. Resolved, That the aim and object of the Democratic party. is to preserve the Federal Union and the rights of the States unimpaired, and they herebj' declare that they consider that the administrative usurpation of extraordinary and dangerous powers not granted by the Constitution, the subversion of the civil by military law in States not in insurrection, the arbi trary military arrest, imprisonment, trial and sentence of American citizens in States where the civil law exists in full force, the suppression of freedom of speech and of the press, the denial of the right of asylum, the open and avowed right of disregard of State rights, the employment of unusual test oaths, and the interference with, and denial of the right of the people to bear arms in their defense, is calculated to prevent a restoration of the Union and a perpetuation of the Govern ment deriving its just powers from the consent of the gov erned. Resolved, That the shameful disregard of the Administra tion to its dutj' in respect to our fellow-citizens who now are, and long have been, prisoners of war in a suffering condition, deserves the severest reprobation on the score alike of pubhc policy and common humanity. Resolved, That the sympathy of the Democratic party is heartily and earnestly extended to the soldiery of our army and sailors of our navy who are and have been in the field and on the sea, under the flag of their country, and in the event of its attaining power, they will receive all the care, protec tion and regard that the brave soldiers and sailors of the Re public have so nobly earned. THE CHICAGO PLATFORM, 1868. The following is the platform as adopted: The National Republican Party of the United States, as sembled in National Convention, in the city of Chicago, on the 20th day of May, 1868, make the following declaration of principles : 1. We congratulate the country on the assured success of POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 67 the reconstruction policy of Congress, as evinced by the adoption, in the majority of the States lately in rebellion, of constitutions securing equal civil and political rights to all ; and it is the duty of the Government to sustain those consti tutions and to prevent the people of such States from being remitted to a state of anarchy. 2. The guarantee by Congress of equal suffrage to all loyal men at the South was demanded by every consideration of public safety, of gratitude, and of justice, and must be main tained, 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 in the utmost good faith 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 due to the labor of the nation that taxation should be equalized and reduced as rapidly as the national faith will permit. 5. The national debt, contracted as it has be^n for the preservation of the Union for all time to come, should be ex tended 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 best policy to diminish our burden of debt is to so improve our credit that capitalists will seek to loan us money at lower rates of interest than we now pay, and must continue to pay, so long as repudiation, partial or total, open' or covert, is threatened or suspected. 7. The Government of the United States should be admin istered 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 professedly 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 cause he was pledged to support — who has usurped high legislative and judicial func tions — 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 executive powers to render inse- 68 political PLATFORMS. cure the property, the peace, liberty, and life of the citizen— who has abused the pardoning power — who has denounced the National Legislature as unconstitutional — persistently and corruptly resisted, by every measure in hi<5 power, every proper attempt at the reconstruction of the States lately in rebellion — who has perverted the public patronage into an engine of wholesale corruption, and who has been justly im peached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and propeirly pro nounced guilty thereof by the vote of thirty-five Senators. 9. The doctrine of Great Britain and other European Pow ers, that because a man is once a subject he is always so, must be resisted at every hazard by the United States as a relic of the feudal times, not authorized by the law of nations, and at war with our national honor and independence. Nat uralized 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 to interfere^ in his behalf. 10. Of all who were faithful in the trials of the late war there were none entitled to more especial honor than the brave soldiers and seamen who endured the hardships of cam paign and cruise, and imperiled their lives in the service of the country. The bounties and pensions provided by the laws for these brave defenders of the nation 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 protecting care. 11. Foreign emigration, 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 oppressed of 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 struggling for their rights. ¦ The following resolutions were also adopted unanimously, and are added to the declaration of principles : Resolved, That we highly commend the spirit of magnan imity and forgiveness with which the men who have served in political platforms. 69 the rebellion, but now frankly and honestly co-operate with us in restoring the peace of the country and reconstructing the Southern State governments upon the basis of impartial justice and equal rights, are received back into the com munion of the loyal people. And we favor the removal of the disqualifications and restrictions placed upon the late rebels in the same measure as the spirit of loyalty will direct, and as may be consistent with the safety of the loyal people. Resolved, That we recognize the great principles laid down in the immortal Declaration of Independence as the true foundation of Democratic government ; and we hail with gladness every effort toward making these principles a living reality on every inch of American soil. DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM OF 1868. The Democratic party, in National Convention assembled, reposing its trust in the intelligence, patriotism, and discrimi nating justice of the people, standing upon the Constitution as the foundation and limitation of the powers of the Government and the guarantee of the liberties of the citizen, and recog nizing the questions of slavery andsecession as having been set tled for all time to come by the war or the voluntary action of the Sou.thern States in Constitutional Conventions assembled, and never to be revived or re- agitated, do, with the return of peace, demand : 1. The immediate restoration of all the States to their rights in the Union under the Constitution of the civil Gov ernment and in the American people. 2. Amnesty for all past political offenses ; the regulation of the elective franchise in the States by their citizens. 3. Payment of the public debt of the United States as rap idly as practicable, all money drawn from the people by taxa tion, except so much as is requisite for the necessities of the Government economically administered being honestly ap plied to such payment, and where the obligations of the Gov ernment do not expressly state upon their face or the law under which they were issued does not provide that they shall be paid in coin they ought, in right and justice, be paid in the lawful money of the United States. 70 political platforms. 4. Equal taxation of every species of property according to the value ; reducing Government bonds and other public securities. 5. One currency for the Government and ^e, people, the laborer and the office-holder, pensioner and the soldier, the producer and the bondholder. 6. Economy in the administration oi the Government; the reduction of the standing army and navy ; the abolition of the Freedmen's Bureau, and all political instrumentalities de signed to secure negro supremacy; simplification of the system and discontinuance of inquisitorial modes of assessing and collecting internal revenue, that the burden of taxation may be equalized and lessened, and the credit of the Government and the currency made good ; the repeal of all enactments for enrolling the State militia into a national force in time of peace ; and a tariff for revenue upon foreign imports and such equal taxation under the internal revenue laws as will afford incidental protection to domestic riianufactures as well, with out impairing the revenue, impose the least burden upon and best promote and encourage the great industrial interests of the country. 7. Reform of abuses in the Administration ; the expulsion of corrupt men from office ; the abrogation of useless offices ; the restoration of the rightful authority to and the independ ence of the Executive and Judicial Departments of the Gov ernment ; the subordination of the military to the civil power, to the end that the usurpation of Congress and the despotism .of the sword may cease. 8. Equal rights and protection for naturalized and native born citizens at home and abroad ; the assertion of American nationality, which will command the respect of foreign pov?ers furnish an example and encouragement to people struggling for national integrity, constitutional liberty, and individual rights ; and the maintenance of the rights of naturalized citi zens against the absolute doctrine of immutable allegiance and the claims of foreign powers to punish them for alleged primes committed beyond their jurisdiction. In demanding these measures and reforms, we airaign the radical party for its disregard of right and the unparalleled oppression and tyranny which have marked its career, alter the most solemn and unanimous pledge of both houses of Congress to prose- political platforms. 71 cute the war exclusively for the maintenance of the Govern ment and the preservation of the Union under the Constitu tion. It has repeatedly violated that most sacred pledge nnder which was rallied that noble volunteer army which car ried our flag to victory. Instead of restoring the Union it has, so far as it is in its power, dissolved it, and subjected ten States in time of peace to military despotism and negro supremacy. It has nullified there the right of trial by jury ; it has abolished the writ of habeas corpus, that most sacred writ of liberty ; it has overthrown the freedom of speech and of the press ; it has substituted arbitrary seizures and arrests, military trials, se cret star chambers, and inquisitions for constitutional tribu nals; it has disregarded, m time of peace, the right of the people to be free from search and seizure ; it has entered the post-office and telegraph office, and even the private rooms of individuals and seized there their private papers and letters, without any specification or notice of affidavit, as required by the organic law. It has converted the American Capitol into a bastile; it has established a system of spies and official espion age to which the constitutional monarchies of Europe never dare to resort. It has abolished the right of appeal on important constitutional questions to the supreme judicial tribunals, and threatens to curtail or destroy its original juris diction, which is irrevocably vested by the Constitution ; while the learned Chief Justice has been subjected to the most atro cious calumnies merely because he would not prostitute his high office to the support of the false and partisan charges against the President. Its corruption and extravagance have exceeded anything known in history, and by its frauds and monopolies it has nearly doubled the burden of the debt cre ated during the war. It has stripped the President of his Constitutional power of appointment even of his own Cabinet. Under its repeated assaults the pillars of the Government are rocking to their base; and should it succeed in November next, and inaugurate its President, we will meet as a subjected and conquered people amid the ruins of liberty and the scat tered fragments of the Constitution ; and we do declare and resolve that ever since the people of the United States threw off all subjection to the British crown, the privilege and trust of suffrage have belonged to the several States, and have been granted, regulated, and controlled exclusively by the political 73 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. power of each State respectively, and any attempt by Con gress, on any pretext whatever, to deprive any State of thia right, or interfere with this exercise, is a flagrant usurpation of power which can find no warrant in the Constitution, and if sanctioned by the people will subvert our form of Govern ment, and can only end in a single, centralized and consolidated Government, in which the separate existence of the States will be entirely absorbed, and an unqualified despotism then be established in place of a Federal Union of coequal States, and that we regard the reconstruction acts so called of Congress such usurpations and unc&nstitutional, revolutionary and void; that our soldiers and sailors who carried the flag of our country to victory against a most gallant and determined foe must ever be gratefully remembered, and all the guarantees given in their favor must be faithfully carried into execution; that the public lands should be distributed widely among the people and should be disposed of either under the pre-emption of the homestead lands and sold in reasonable quantities, and to none but actual occupants, at the price established by the Govern ment. When the grants of the public lands may be allowed necessary for the encouragement of important public improve ments, the proceeds cf the sale of such lands, and not the lands themselves, should be so applied ; that the President of the United States, Andrew Johnson, exercising the power of his high office in resisting the aggressions of Congress on the constitutional rights of the States and the people, is entitled to the gratitude of the whole American people, and on behalf of the Democratic party, we tender him our thanks for his patriotic efforts in that regard. Upon this platform the Democratic party appeal to every patriot, including all the conservative element, and all who desire to support the Constitution and restore the Union, for getting all past differences of opinion, to; unite with us in the present great struggle for the liberties of the people ; and that to all such, to whatever party they may have heretofore be longed, we extend the right hand of fellowship, and hail all such co-operating with us as friends and brothers. POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 7$ REPUBLICAN PLATFORM, 1872. The Republican party of the United States, assembled in national convention in the city of Philadelphia on the 5th and 6th days of June, J 872, again declares its faith, appeals to its history, and announces its position upon the questions before the country: 1. During eleven years of supremacy it has accepted with grand courage the solemn duties of the time. It suppressed a gigantic rebellion, emancipated four millions of slaves, de creed the equal citizenship of all, and established universal suffrage. Exhibiting unparalelled magnanimity, it criminally punished no man for political offenses, and warmly welcomed all who proved loyalty by obeying the laws and deaJingjustly with their neighbors. It has steadily decreased with firm hand the resultant disorders of a great war, and initiated a wise and humane policy toward the Indians. The Pacific rail road and similar vast enterprises have been generously aided and successfully conducted, the public lands freely given to actual settlers, immigration protected and encouraged, and a full acknowledgement of the naturalized citizen's rights se cured from European Powers. A uniform national currency has been provided, repudiation frowned down, the national credit sustained under the most extraordinary burdens, and new bonds negotiated at lower rates. The revenues have been care fully collected and honestly applied. Despite annual large reductions of the rates of taxation, the public debt has been re duced during General Grant's Pi'esidency at the rate of a hun dred millions a year, great finapcial crises have been avoided, and peace and plenty prevail throughout the land. Menacing foreign difficulties have been peacefullj'- and honorably com posed, and the honor and power of the nation kept in high respect throughout the world. This glorious record of the past is the party's best pledge for the future. We beUeve the people will not intrust the Government to any party or combination of men composed chiefly of those who have re sisted every step of this benificent progress. 2. The recent amendments to the national Constitution should be cordially sustained because they are right, not 74 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. merely tolerated because they are law, and should be carried out according to their spirit by appropriate legislation, the enforcement of which can safely be intrusted only to the party that secured those amendments. 3. Complete liberty and exact equality in the enjoyment of all civil, political and public rights should be established and effectually maintained throughout the Union by efficient and appropriate State and Federal legislation. Neither the law nor its administration should admit any discrimination in respect of citizens by reason of race, creed, color, or previous condition of servitude. 4. The national Government should seek to maintain hon orable peace with all nation ', protecting its citizens every where and sympathizing with all peoples who strive for greater liberty. 5. Any system of the civil service under which the subor dinate positions of the government are considered rewards for mere party zeal is fatally demoralizing, and we therefore favor a reform of the system by laws which shall abolish the evils of patronage and make honesty, efficiency, and fidelity the essential qualifications for public positions, without creating a life tenure of office. 6. We are opposed to further grants of the public lands to corporations and monopolies, and demand that the national domain be set apart for free homes for the people. 7. The annual revenue, after paying current expenditures, pensions, and the interest on the public debt, should furnish a moderate balance for the reduction of the principal, and that revenue, except so much as may be derived from a tax upon tobacco and liquors, should be raised by duties upon im portations, the details of which should be so adjusted as to aid in securing remunerative wages to labor, and promote the industries, prosperity, and growth of the whole country. 8. We hold in undying honor the soldiers and sailors who«e valor saved the Union. Their pensions are a sacred debt of the nation, and the widows and orphans of those who died for their country are entitled to the care of a generous and grate ful people. We favor such additional legislation as will ex tend the bounty of the Government to all our soldiers and POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 75 sailors who were honorably discharged, and who in the line of duty became disabled, without regard to the length of ser- Tice or the cause of such discharge. 9. The doctrine of Great Britain and other European Pow ers concerning allegiance — "once a subject always a subject" — having at last through the efforts of the Republican party been abandoned, and the American idea of the individual's right to transfer allegiance having been accepted by Euro pean nations, it is the duty of our Government to guard with jealous care the rights of adopted citizens against the assump tion of unauthorized claims by their former Governments, and we urge continued careful encouragement and protec tion of voluntary immigration. 10. The franking privilege ought to be abolished, and the way prepared for a speedy reduction in the rates of postage. 11 Among the questions which press for attention is that which concerns the relations of capital and labor, and the Republican party recognizes the duty of so shaping legis lation as to secure full protection and the amplest field for capital, and for labor, the creator of capital, the largest oppor tunities and a just share of the mutual profits of these two (great servants of civilization. 12. We hold that Congress and the President have only fulfilled an imperative duty in their measures for the sup pression of violent and treasonable organizations in certain lately rebellious regions, and for the protection of the ballot- fbox; and therefore they are entitled to the thanks of the ination. i3. We denounce repudiation of the public debt, in any form or disguise as a national crime. We witness with pride the reduction of the principal of the debt, and the rates of in terest upon the balance, and confidently expect that our ex cellent national currency will be perfected by a speedy re sumption of specie payment. 14. The Republican party is mindful of its obligations to the loyal women of America for their noble devotion to the cause of freedom. Their admission to wider fields of useful ness is viewed with satisfaction ; and the honest demand of 76 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. any class of citizens for additional rights should be treated with respectful consideration. 15. We heartily approve the action of Congress in extend ing amnesty to those lately in rebellion, and rejoice in the growth of peace and fraternal feeling throughout the land. 16. The Republican party proposes to respect the rights reserved by the people to themselves as carefully as the powers delegated by them to the State and to the Federal Government. It disapproves of the resort to unconstitutional laws for the purpose of removing evils, by interference with rights not surrendered by the people to either the State or na tional Government. 17. It is the duty of the General Government to adopt such measures as may tend to encourage and restore American commerce and ship-building. 18. We believe that the modest patriotism, the earnest pur pose, the sound judgment, the practical wisdom, the incor ruptible integrity, and the illustrious services of Ulysses S. Grant have commended him to the heart of the American people, and with him at our head we start to day upon a new march to victory. 19. Henry Wilson, nominated for the Vice-Presidency. known to the whole land from the early days of the great struggle for liberty as an indefatigable laborer in all cam paigns, an incorruptible legislator and representative man of American institutions, is worthy to associate with our great leader and share the honors which we pledge our best efforts to bestow upon them. NATIONAL LIBERAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION, 1872. ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. The Administration now in power has rendered itself guilty of wanton disregard of the laws of the land, and of usurpmg powers not granted by the Constitution; it has acted as if the laws had binding force only for those who are governed, and not for those who govern. It has thus struck a blow at the fundamental principles of constitutional government and the liberties of the citizen. POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 77 The President of the United States has openly used the powers and opportunities of his high office for the promotion of personal ends. He has kept notoriously corrupt and unworthy men in places of power and responsibility, to the detriment of the public interest. He has used the public service of the Government as a machinery of corruption and personal influence, and has inter fered with tyrannical arrogance in the political affairs of States and municipalities. He has rewarded with influential and lucrative offices men who had acquired his favor by valuable presents, thus stimu lating the demoralization of our political life by his conspicu ous example. He has shown himself deplorably unequal to the task im posed upon him by the necessities of the country, and culpa bly careless of the responsibilities of his high office. Thrf partizans of the Administration, assuming to be the Republican party and controlling its organization, have at tempted to justify such wrongs and palliate such abuses to the end of maintaining partisan ascendency. They have stood in the way of necessary investigations and indispensable reforms, pretending that no serious fault could be found with the present administration of public affairs, thus seeking to blind the eyes of the people. They have kept alive the passions and resentment of the late civil war, to use them for their own advantage , they have resorted to arbitrary measures in direct conflict with the organic law, instead of appealing to the better instincts and latent patriotism of the Southern people by restoring to them these rights, the enjoyment of which is indispensable to a successful administration of their local affairs, and would tend to revive a patriotic and hopeful national feeling. They have degraded themselves and the name of their party, once justly entitled to the confidence of the nation, by a base sycophancy to the dispenser of executive power and patron age, unworthy of republican freemen ; they have sought to silence the voice of just criticism, and stifle the moral sense of the people, and to subjugate public opinion by tyrannical party discipline. They are striving to maintain themselves in authority for 78 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. selfish ends by an. unscrupulous use of the power which right fully belongs to the peoplcj and should be employed only in the service of the country. Believing that an organization thus led and controlled cmi no longer be of service to the best interests of the Republic, we have resolved to make an independent appeal to the sober judgment, conscience, and patriotism of the American people. RESOLUTIONS. We, the Liberal Republicans of the United States, in National Convention assembled at Cincinnati, proclaim the-- following principles as essential to just government : 1. We recognize the equality of all men before the law,,,. and bold that if is the duty of government, in its dealingst,: with the people, to mete out equal and exact justice to all, of whatever nativity, race, color, or persuasion, religious or political. 2. We pledge ourselves to maintain the Union of these States, emancipation and enfranchisement, and to oppose any re-opening of the questions settled by the thirteenth, four teenth, and fifteenth amendments of the Constitution., 3. We demand the immediate and absolute removal of all disabilities imposed on account of the rebellion, which was finally subdued seven years ago, believing that universal am nesty will result in complete pacification in all sections, of the country. 4. Local self-government, with impartial suffrage, will guard the rights of all citizens more securely than any centrahzed , power. The public welfare requires the supremacy of the civil over the military authority, and the freedom of person under, the protection of the habeas corpus. We demand for the indi vidual the largest liberty consistent with public order, for the State self-government, and for the nation a return to the me ihods of peace and the constitutional limitations of power.. 5. The civil service of the Government has become a mere instrument of partisan tyranny and personal ambition, and ani object of selfish greed. It is a scandal and reproach upon free institutions, and breeds a demoralization dangerous to th& perpetuity of republican government. We therefore regardi? a thorough reform of the civil service as one of the most press ing necessities of the hour ; that honesty, capacity, and fidelity POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 79 constitute the only valid claims to public employment ; that the offices of the Government cease to be a matter of arbitrary favoritism and patronage, and that public station shall become again a post of honor. To this end it is imperatively required that no President shall be a candidate for re election. 6. We demand a system of Federal taxation which shall not unnecessarily interfere with the industry of the people, and which shall provide the means necessary to pay the ex penses of the Government, economically administered, the pensions, the interest on the public debt, and a moderate reduction annually of the principal thereof; and recognizing that there are in our midst honest but irreconcilable differ ences of opinion with regard to the respective systems of protection and free trade, we remit the discussion of the sub ject to the people in their congressional districts and the decision of Congress thereon, wholly free from executive inter ference or dictation. 7. The public credit must be sacredly maintained, and we denounce repudiation in every form and guise. 8. A speedy return to specie payments is demanded alike by the highest considerations of commercial morality and honest government. 9. We remember with gratitude the heroism and sacrifices of the soldiers and sailors of the Republic, and no act of ours shall ever detract from their justly earned fame or the full rewards of their patriotism. 10. We are opposed to all further grants of lands to rail roads or other corporations. The public domain should be held sacred to actual settlers. 11. We hold that is the duty of the Government in its inter course with foreign nations to cultivate the friendships of peace by treating with all on fair and equal terms, regarding it alike dishonorable either to demand what is not right or submit to what is wrong. 12. For the promotion and success of these vital principles and the support of the candidates nominated by this conven tion we invite and cordially welcome the co-operation of all patriotic citizens, without regard to previous political affili ations. go POLITICAL PLATFORMS. NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION, 1872. We, the Democratic electors of the United States in Con vention assembled, do present the following principles, already adopted at Cincinnati, as essential to just government. 1. We recognize the equality of all men before the law, and hold that it is the duty of Government in its dealings with the people to mete out equal and exact justice to all, of whatever nativity, race, color, or persuasion, religious or political. 2. We pledge ourselves to maintain the union of these States, emancipation, and enfranchisement, and to oppose any re-opening of the questions settled by the thirteenth, four teenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. 3. We demand the immediate and absolute removal of kll disabilities imposed on account of the rebellion, which vras finally subdued seven years ago, believing that universal am nesty will result in complete pacification in all sections of the country. 4. Local self-government, with impartial suffrage,' will guard the rights of all citizens more securely than any cen tralized power. The public welfare requires the supremacy of the civil over the military authority, and freedom of persoji ander the protection of the habeas corpus. We demand for the individual the largest liberty consistent with public order ; for the State self-government, and for the nation a re turn to the methods of peace and the constitutional limita: tions of power. 5. The civil service of the Government has become a mere instrument of partisan tyranny and personal ambition, and; an object of selfish greed. It is a scandal and reproach upon free institutions and breeds a demoralization dangerous to the perpetuity of republican government. We therefore re gard a thorough reform of the civil service as one of the most pressing necessities of the hour ; that honesty, capacity, and fidelity constitute the only valid claim to public employ ment; that the offices of the government cease to be a mat ter of arbitrary favoritism and patronage, and that public station become again a post of honor. To this end it is im peratively required that no President shall be a candidate for re-election. POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 81 6. We demand a system of Federal taxation which shall not unnecessarily interfere with the industry of the people, and which shall provide the means necessary to pay the ex penses of the Government, economically administered, the pensions, the interest on the public debt, and a moderate re duction annually of the principal thereof; and recognizing that there are in our midst honest but irreconcilable differ ences of opinion with regard to the respective systems of protection and free trade, we remit the discussion of the sub ject to the people in their Congressional districts, and to the decision of the Congress thereon, wholly free from executive interference or dictation. 7. The public credit must be sacredly maintained, and we denounce repudiation in every form and guise. 8. A speedy return to specie payment is demanded alike by the highest considerations of commercial morality and honest government. 9. We remember with gratitude the heroism and sacrifices of the soldiers and sailors of the Republic, and no act of ours shall ever detract from their justly earned fame for the full reward of their patriotism. 10. We are opposed to all further grants of lands to rail roads or other corporations. The public domain should be held sacred to actual settlers. 11. We hold that it is the duty of the Government in its intercourse with foreign nations to cultivate the friendships of peace, by treating with all on fair and equal terms, regard ing it alike dishonorable either to demand what is not right or to submit to what is wrong. 12. For the promotion and success of these vital princi ples, and the support of the candidates nominated by this convention, we invite and cordially welcome the co-operation of all patriotic citizens, without regard to previous political affiliations. NATIONAL LABOR REFORM CONVENTION, 1872. We hold that all political power is inherent in the people, and free government founded on their authority and estab lished for their benefit ; that all citizens are equal in political 6 82 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. rights, entitled to the largest religious and political liberty compatible with the good order of society, as also the use and enjoyment of the fruits of their labor and talents ; and no man or set of men is entitled to exclusive separable endowments and privileges, or immunities from the Government, but in consideration of public services; and any laws destructive of these fundamental principles are Without moral binding force, and should be repealed. And believing that all the evils re sulting from unjust legislation now affecting the industrial classes can be removed by the adoption of the principle con tained in the following declaration : Therefore, Resolved, That it is the duty of the Government to estab lish a just standard of distribution of capital and labor by providing a purely national circulating medium, based on the faith and resources of the nation, issued directly to the people without the intervention of any system of banking corpora tions, which money shall be legal tender in the payment of all debts,- public and private, and interchangeable at the option of the holder for Government bonds bearing a rate of interest not to exceed 3-65 per cent., subject to future legislation by Congress. 2. That the national debt should be paid in good faithj ac cording to the original contract, at the earliest option of the Government, without mortgaging the property of the people or the future exigencies of labor to enrich a few capitalists at home and abroad. 3. That justice demands that the burden of Government should be so adjusted as to bear equally on all classes, ani that the exemption from taxation of Government bonds bear ing extravagant rates of interest is a violation of all just prin ciples of revenue laws. 4. That the public lands of the United States belong to the people and should not be sold to individuals nor granted tO' corporations, but should be held as a sacred trust for the ben efit of the people, and should be granted to landless settlers- only, in amounts not exceeding one hundred and sixty acres. of land. 5. That Congress should modify the tariff so as to admit free such articles of common use as we can neither produce nor grow, and lay duties for revenue mainly upon articles of luxury and upon such articles of manufacture as will, we hav- POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 83 ing the raw materials, assist in further developing the re sources of the country. 6. That the presence in our country of Chinese laborers, imported by capitalists in lr.rge numbers for servile use, is an evil, entailing want and its attendant train of misery and crime on all classes of the American people, and should be prohib ited by legislation. 7. That we ask for the enactment of a law by which all mechanics and day-laborers employed by or on behalf of the Government, whether directly or indirectly, through persons, firms, or corporations, contracting with the State, shall conform to the reduced standard of eight hours a day, recently adopted by Congress for national employes, and also for an amendment to the acts of incorporation for cities and towns by which all laborers and mechanics employed at their expense shall con form to the same number of hours. 8. That the enlightened spirit of the age demands the abo lition of the system of contract labor in our prisons and other reformatory institutions. 9. That the protection of life, liberty, and property are the three cardinal principles of Government, and the first two are more sacred than the latter ; therefore money needed for prosecuting wars should, as it is required, be assessed and col lected from the wealthy of the country, and not entailed as a burden on posterity. 10. That it is the duty of the Government to exercise its power over railroads and telegraph corporations, that they shall not in any case be privileged to exact such rates of freight, transportation, or charges, by whatever name, as may bear unduly or unequally upon the producer or consumer. 11. That there should be such a reform in the civil service of the national Government as will remove it beyond all part isan influence, and place it in the charge and under the direc tion of intelligent and competent business men. 12. That as both history and experience teaches us that power ever seeks to perpetuate itself by every and all means, and that its prolonged possession in the hands of one person is always dangerous to the interests of a free people, and. believing that the spirit of our organic laws and the stability and safety of our free institutions are best obeyed on the one 84 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. hand, and secured on the other, by a regular constitutional change in the chief of the country at each election : therefore, we are in favor of limiting the occupancy of the presidential chair to one term,, 13. That we are m favor of granting general amnesty and restoring the Union at once on the basis of equality of rights and privileges to all, the impartial administration of justice being the only true bond of union to bind the States together ahd restore the Government of the^eople. 14. That we demand the subjection of the military to the civil authorities, and the confinement of its operations to national purposes alone. 15. That we deem it expedient for Congress to supervise the patent laws, so as to give labor more fully the benefit of its own ideas and inventions. 16. That fitness, and not political or personal considera tions, should be the cnly recommendation to public cffice, either appointive or elective, and any and all laws looking to the establishment of this principle are heartily approved.

The early settlements of this part of the county were made between the years 1825 and 1831, and among those who should be held in grateful remembrance by posterity for undergoing the privations and hardships of pioneer life, might be mentioned the names of George C. Brightman, Josiah Bryant. Caleb Johnson, Obadiah Tincher, George Tincher, Nicholas Osborn, William Benbow, Newby Hunt, Jesse Hodson, John Cosner, George Hancock, John Moon, William Thomas, Thomas Ray, and Abraham West. ORGANIZATION. By an act of the Board of County Commissioners, March 3, 1845, Clay township was organized into a separate incorporation, and was taken from the townships of Franklin and Marion, and contains very nearly twenty-four square miles. The County Commissioners at this time were, Gudlow Walker, Ebenezer L. Watson and Simon Hornaday. IMPROVEMENTS There are about ten miles of railroad track extending through the township ; three miles of the Indianapolis and St. Louis line, valued by the appraisement of 1873 at ^50,4x0, and about seven miles of the Terre Haute and Indianapolis, valued at ;^I20, 115. Total value of railroad property ;^ 170, 525. And under the same assessment the value of real estate and personal property in the township was ;^843,62x, making a total of ^1,0x4,246. It will therefore appear that the railroad incorporations are liable for the payment of about 17 per cent, of the burden of taxation. POPULATION. By the census of 1870 there were 1568 persons in the town ship, and the population October 1873, was 1658. That of Coatsville 340, and Amo 280. DIRECTORY OF HENDRICKS COUNTY. 195 ADVANTAGES AND INDUCEMENTS. No waste land in the township, and well supplied with water, well adapted to grazing and the growing of corn and wheat. The best land is generally in the east part of the township. Handy markets for the people's produce and ready transportion of the products of the farm. CHURCH, LODGE AND SCHOOL STATISTICS. M.

It is bounded on the north by Boone county, on the east by Union and Centre townships, on the south by Marion township, and on the west by Putnam and Montgomery counties. It contains an area of about 42 square miles. The surface of the township is more or less broken, but there is no waste land in the township. It is watered by the waters of Eel river, and almost every farm is supplied with a never failing spring, or spring branch- Her soil in the bottoms is a rich black loam, and very profitable for corn. Her uplands are not so rich, but very profitable for stock raising. This was the third township in the county to be settled. Some of the first settlers of this township were Noah Bateman, John S. Woodward and Reuben Claypoole. Said Bateman and Wood ward are both living, and yet make their home on Eel river soil. For the last few years this township has advanced rapidly in wealth, improvement, morality and inteUigence. Her present population is about 1700. Her church and school privileges are good; and morality and education are on the advance. North Salem, the only town in the township is situated a lit tle south of the center. This is a nicely located village about eight miles north-west of Danville. Its population is about 300 ; the inhabitants are sociable and industrious. Its business and trading men are numerous and lively. There are three hotels here ; all seem to be doing a good business. I know by expe rience that Mrs. Fluce can get up a good square meal.

Franklin township is situated in the southwest corner of the county, and is bounded as follows : On the north by Clay township, on the east by Gilford, on the south by Morgan county, and on the west by Putnam, and contains an area of 29 square miles. The surface of the township lays well for cultiva tion, being principally level or slightly rolling. The soil is a good average for the county, timber and water plenty, and of good quality. The model farm of Hendricks county is in this township. This farm is the property of Jehue Hadley, and is well known to the most of the. old settlers of this county, it being the farm whereon the old settlers hold their yearly meet- ihg. .Since the last old settler's meeting Mr. Hadley has made some very fine improvements, especially his fish ponds, which are very beautiful, ornamental and useful. Stilesville, the voting precinct of this township, is a very nice thriving business town, located on the National road, about twenty-six miles west of Indianapolis and eleven miles south west of Danville, and contains about three hundred inhabitants, who are noted for their musical talent and g.ood singing. The improvements of the place have been considerable during the last year ; they have erected some very nice fine business rooms, and one of the best Masonic halls in the county. The corporation has been liberal in applying gravel to the streets and sidewalks, and for other general improvements. The school and church priveleges are good. CHURCH, LODGE AND SCHOOL STATISTICS.

Rep. Christian, GILFORD TOWNSHIP. Gilford township is situated in the southeast corner of Hen dricks county, and is bounded as follows : On the east by Marion county, on the south by Morgan, on the west by Lib erty township, and on the north by Washington. This was the first settled township in the county. A few of the old pioneer settlers that we should hold in remembrance are, David Carter, Eleazier Bates, George Moore, Noah Kellum, Robert McCrack- en, Jesse Hackett, George Moon, Thomas Lockhart, David, Asa and Joel Ballard, Elias Hadley, Josiah Tomlinson and the families of HoUingsworth's and Lowder's. The above named parties were all settlers of what is now Gilford township before the county was organized, and some of them are yet living and residents of the township. The surface of the township is generally rolling, the soil is of very fine quality, and a plentiful supply of gravel for making good roads, and timber of sufficient quantity for all necessary purposes. The township is watered by the East, West and Middle Forks of White Lick Creek, thereby making this the best watered township in the county, almost every farm being well supplied with stock water. Its rolling surface, sandy soil and bountiful supply of stock water makes this rather the most inviting township in the county to the stock raiser. The trading point and voting precinct of the township is Plainfield. This is a nice, enterprising, business place, located on the National road and on the St. Louis & Vandalia raUroad, 14 mUes west of IndianapoUs, and contains a population of about 800 inhabitants. This place is noted for its quiet, orderly citizens, morality and ^temperance. The S,ocietyQfL_Friends have erected a fine, large church here, and the members of the Society from all parts of the State meet here annually to hold their Yearly Meetings. As Jerusalem was to the Jews of Pal estine in the days of its prosperity, so is Plainfield to the Society DIRECTORY OF HENDRICKS COUNTY. 267 of Friends of the State ; or in other words, Plainfield is the Jerusalem of Indiana. The Indiana House of Refuge is located on the State farm ad joining Plainfield on the south, and from all appearances it seems to be doing a good work for the benefit of the boys who are inmates of the institution. This institution is under the supervision of Frank B. Ainsworth as general superintendent, and C. W. Ainsworth, assistant. They keep everything in good order, they are kind to the boys, and are clever and affable with a stranger. The Reform School Record is published by them.

Liberty Township, in the south part of the county, is bounded on the north by Centre and Washington townships, on the east by Gilford, on the south by Morgan county, and on the west by Franklin and Clay townships. It contains an area of about 48 square miles, and is the largest township in the county. The surface is generally level or slightly rolling, her soil is rich and productive, and is watered by Mud Creek and White Lick. Mud Creek flows through the west and southwest, while White Lick crosses the northeast corner. This was one of the first settled townships in the county, a brief history of which is given in the historical sketch of the county. The present population of the township is about 25,00^?. Her church and school privileges are rather better than an average of the county, and her gravel roads and public improvements speak well for the enterprise of her citizens. She is well sup plied with towns and post offices, namely : First, Bellville, the voting precinct of the township, situated on the National road, 18 miles west of Indianapolis, and about six miles south, and and li east from Danville, containing a population of 264. This is the oldest town in the county. Cartersburgh, a nice little village of about 200 inhabitants, located on the Terre Haute, Vandalia & St. Louis Railroad, five miles southwest of Danville, 17 mUes west of Indianapolis, and one half mile south of the Medical Springs. Center Valley, a post office situated on the Bellville and Monrovia gravel road, 2J miles south of BeUville. Clayton, a thriving little town five miles south of Danville, on the Terre Haute, Vandalia & St. Louis Railroad, with a population of about 350, noted for its number of neat churches, gravel road privileges, and enterprising inhabitants.

The township is well watered by White Lick, School Branch and other small but never failing spring branches. She has a good supply of gravel for making good roads, and her roads in many places indicate that it is being freely applied. The pres ent population of the township is about 1,580. The population as shown by the statistics of 1870, is 1,502. Her only, town is Brownsburg, located on the I., B. & W. railroad, about 14 miles northwest of Indianapolis For improvements, enterprise and business, Brownsburg is not surpassed in the county.

Middle township is located in the north part of the county, and is bounded on the east by Brown and Lincoln townships, on the south by Washington, on the west by Centre and Union, and on the north by Boone county; and contains an area of about 31 square miles. The surface is generally level, and lays well for cultivation. The soil is of fine quality and well adapted to the growing of corn. The timber is of the best varieties, and of great abundance. This was one of the last townships in the county to be settled, but her improvements show that her citizens have been of the go-ahead stripe, and wide awake. Pittsboro is the only town in the township. This is a nice en terprising little village, located on the I. B. & W. Railroad, about seventeen miles northwest of Indianapolis, and about nine miles, nearly in a northeast direction from Danville, and con tains about 250 inhabitants. It is surprising to see the amount of business that is done here for so small a place. The motto of the citizens of Pittsboro seems to be, " Drive busi ness;" and from the ring of the anvils, the hum of the rriiUs, and the clatter of the stave factory, one would think that they were living up to their motto.

Union Township is situated in the north part of Hendricks county, and is bounded as follows : On the east by Middle township ; on the south by Centre ; on the west by Eel River and on the north by Boone county, and contains an area of twenty-three square miles. The surface of the township is level and lies well for cultivation, and the soil is rich and productive. The timber is of good quaHty and there is plenty of it, especial ly the oak, which is very fine and valuable. This township is one of the best in the county for corn raising. There are por tions of the township that are naturally wet and swampy, but where drained and ditched it is dry and productive : in fact some of the richest and driest farms in the township were twenty-five years ago considered swamp land.
