De Tocquevitle tells us that virtue is the life of republics; and it is certainly true that if it prevails at the White House and the capitol, it will oterate in like de tn$roughoot the entire country.5 It Jmay'aeem little thing to say that Gen fU Garfield was ah attendant at religious aerticea On Sunday which occured at the -.Chica'go eonvention, and that - General , Hancock is a regular worshipper at the Prbfestan i Episcopal 'church but -such i. examples are ,f ull of significance. .

Second Opposition to centralization aud that dangerous spirit of encroachment which tends to consolitlute the powers of all the de part tueut in one, and thus to create, what ever be the urm of government, a real dep ot ixni; no suniptusry laws; separation of church and State for the good of each; com inoa schools to be fostered and protected. J : - Third Home rule, honest money, the strict maintenance of public faiths consisting ot gold, silver and paper convertible to coin on demand; the strict maintenance of the pablie faith, State and national, and a tariff for revenue onl v. . Fourth the suWrdination of the military to the civil jxiwer, and a general and thor ough reform of tlie civil service. ' Fiftli Right to a free bullot as the right preservative of all rights, and must and shall be niaiutaiued in every part of the . United States. Sixth The exifting administrates is repre sentative of conspiracy, ouly, and its claims of right to surround the tin Hot boxes with troops and deputy marshals, to intimidate and olwtruct the elections, and by unprece dented use of the vote to maintain its cor rupt and deopotie power, insults the people, and imperils their institutions. Seventh The. great fraud of 1876, by which, upon a falce count of the electoral vote of two' States, the candidate defeated at the polls, was ilectared to be President, and for the nist time . in , American history, the will of the people was set aside under the threat of miliary violence, struck a deadly blow atom system of representative govern ment. The Democratic party, to preserve the country from the horrors of a civil war, submitted for the time, in the firm and pat riotic faith that the people would punish this crime in 1830. This issue precedes and dwarfs every other. It imposes more sacred duty upon tlio people of the'Uuion than was ever addressed to the conscience of a, nation of freedmen. , .

Tildeu net again to be a candidate for election, the exalted plaea to wliich he was elected by a majority of hfs Countrymen, and from which he was excluded by the leaders of the Re publican party, is received by the Democrats of the United States with sensibility, and they declare their confidence in his wisdom and patriotism and integrity, unsullied by the assault of the common enemy, and they further declare to him that he is followed into the retirement he has chosen for himself by the sympatliyand respeut of his fellow-citizens, who regard hiin as one who, by ele vating the standard of public morality and adorning and purifying the public service, merits the lasting gratitude of his couutry and his party.
