IN CONGRESS, TUESDAY, JULY 4, 1776. Agreeably to the order of the day, the Congress resolved itiself 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 consistedof Jefferson, Frank- lin, John Adams, Sherman, and R. R. Livingston.) The Declaration being read, was agreed to, as follows : A DECLARATION BV THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED. When, in the course of human events, it 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 the consent 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 INDEPENDENCE. and orj^anizing 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 that mankind aro 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 sufferauco of these colo- nies, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The bistory 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 utterly 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, uncomlbrtable, and distant from the depository of thair public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved representative hou es 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, /ncapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise, the State remaining, in the meantioie, ei- DECLARATION OP INDKPICNDENCE. posed to all the danger of invasion from without, and convul- sioms wiUiin. He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States ; for that purpose, obstructing the laws for naturaliza- tion of foreigners; 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 tc), the civil power. He has coml^ined, 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 th^m, 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 c(>lonies ; For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable 6 DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. laws, and altering, fundamentally, the powers of onr 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 paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civihzed 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 and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands. Ue 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. Nor 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 the-«e usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and c )rrespondence. 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 DECLABATION 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.

Evans, 'I EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION. Whereas^ On the twenty-second day of September, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, a proclamation was issued by the President of the United States, containing among other things the following, to-wit ; That, on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, henceforth and forever free, and the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom. That the Executive will, on the first day of January afore- said, by proclamation, designate the States and parts of States, if any, in which the people therein respectively shall then be in rebellion against the United States, and the fact that any State, or the people thereof, shall on that day be in good faith represented in the Congress of the United States by members chosen thereto, at elections wherein a majority of the qualified voters of such States shall have participated, shall, in the absence of strong countervailing testimony, be deemed conclusive that such State and the people thereof are not then in rebellion against the United States. Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, by virtue of the power in me vested as Com- mander-in-Chief of the Array and Navy of the United States, in time of actual armed rebellion against the authority and Government of the United States, and as a fit necessary war measure for suppressing said rebellion, do, on this first day of January, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and in accordance with my purpose so to do, publicly proclaimed for the full period of one hundred days (54) EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION. 55 from the day of the first above-mentioned order, and desig- nate, as the States and parts of States wherein the people thereof respectively are this day in rebellion againt the United States, the following to-wit: Arkansas, Texas, Louisi- ana, except the parishes of St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jeffer- son, St. John, St. Charles, St. James, Ascension, Assumption Terre Banne, Lafourche, St. Mary, St. Martin and Orleans, in eluding the city of New Orleans. Mississippi, Alabama, Flor ida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia except the forty-eight counties designated as West Virginia, and also the counties of Berkeley, Accomac, Northampton Elizabeth City, York, Princess Ann, and Norfolk, including the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth, and which excepted parts are, for the present, left precisely as if this proclamation were not issued. And by virtue of the power, and for the purpose aforesaid, I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States and parts of States are, and hencefor- ward, shall be free ; and that the Executive Government of the United States, including the military andnaval authorities there- of, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons. And 1 hereby enjoin upon the people so declared to be free to abstain from all violence, unless in necessary self-defense ; and I recommend to them that, in all cases, when allowed, they labor faithfully for reasonable wages. And I further declare and make known that such persons of suitable condition will be received into the armed service of the United States, to garrison forts, positions, stations, and other places, and to man vessels of all sorts in said service. And upon this, sincerely believed to be an act of justice, warranted by the Constitution upon military necessity, I in- voke the considerate judgment of mankind and the gracious favor of Almighty God. In witness whereof 1 have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Resolved, That the platform adopted by the Democratic party at Cincinnati be affirmed, with the following explana- tory resolutions : 1. That the government of a territory organized by an act of Congress is provisional and temporary, and during its exis- tence all citizens of the United States have an equal right to settle with their property in the territory,without their rights, either in person or property, bemg destroyed by congressional or territorial legislation. 2. That it is the duty of the Federal Government, in all its departments, to protect the rights of persons and property in the territories, and wherever else its constitutional authority extends. 3. That when the settlers in a territory, having an adequate population, form a State Constitution, the right of sovereignty commences, and being consummated by their admission into the Union, they stand on an equality with the people of other States, and a State thus organized ought to be admitted into the Federal Union, whether its constitution prohibits or rec- ognizes the institution of slavery. 4. That the Democratic party are in favor of the acquisi- tion of Cuba, on such terms as shall be honorable to ourselves and just to Spain, at the earliest practicable moment. 5. That the enactments of State Legislatures to defeat the faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave Law are hostile in character, subversive of the Constitution, and revolutionary in their effect. 6. That the Democracy of the United States recognize it aa an imperative duty of the government to protect the natural- (56) POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 67 ized citizen in all his rights, whether in home or in foreign lands, to the same extent as its native born citizens. 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. Hcsolvedj 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 difierences 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 ; Besolved, That the Democratic party will abide by the de- cision of the Supreme Court of the United States over the in- etitution of slavery in the territories. Besolved, That it is the duty of the United States to afibrd 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. fiS POLITICAL PLATFORMS. Resolved^ That the Democratic party are in favor of the ac- qiiisition of the Island of Cuba, on such terras 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 eflfect. Reaolved^ 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 countrj'-, 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. 59 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 f^ivored partisans, while the recent startling devel- opments of frauds and corruption at the Federal metropolis show that f\n 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. 8. 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 i)erson should be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law, it becomes our duty bj' 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- commodation 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. Tliat 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 OP 1860. The Union, the Constitution and the Laws. 62 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. UNION PLATFOKM, 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 and 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 do 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 rebels or to oifer any terms of peace, except such as may be based upon an unconditional surrender of their hostility, &c., and 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 patriotism, 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 constitutes the strength of the rebellion, and that as it mu' t be always and everywhere hostile to the principles of Republican Gov- ernments, justice and the national safety demand its utter and complete extirpation from the soil of the R?public, and that we uphold and mninlain the acts and proclamations by which the Government, in ils 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 wiih its provisions, as shall teririnate and for- ever prohibit the existence of slavery within the limits of the jurisdiction of the United States. Resolved^ That the thinks 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 vindi- cation of the honor of the flag; that the nation owes them some permanent recognition of iheir patriotism and their valor, and ample and permanent provision for those of their survivors who have received disablinii: and honorable wounds POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 63 in the service of their country, and that the memories of those who have fallen in its defense, shall be 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 circumstancea of unparalelled difficuly, the great duties and responsibilities of the Presidential office; that we approve and endorse, aa 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 the laws of war, and 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 th^ public expenditures, and a vigorous and just 64 POLITICAL PLATFOBMS. system of taxation ; that it is the duty of every loyal State to sustain the use of the national currency. Eesolved^ 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. FKEMONT 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 soldiers and actual settlers is a measure of justice ; that integrity and economy are demanded at all times in the measures of the government, and that new the want of this is criminal. NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM OF 1864. Hesolved^ 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 Morthern and Southern. Resolved,, That this Convention does explicitly declare, as the sense of the American people, that after four years of f^iil- ure to restore the Union by experiment of war, during which, under the pretence of military necessity or war power higher than the Constitution, the Const itui ion 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- Bcntially impaired, justice, humanity, liberty and the public well^ire demand that immediate c£rf>rts be made for a cessation of hostilities with a view to an ultimate convention of the Slates, 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. Re solved, l^h^t the direct interference of the military ou- thoriiies of the United States in the recent elections held in Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and Delaware was a shameful 66 POLITICAL PLATFORMg. violation of the Constitulion, and a repetition of such acts in the approaching election will be held as revolutionary, and re- sisted with all the means and i>ower 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 hercbj' 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 v/here 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 perjjetuation 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 duty 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 public policy and common humanily. 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^ serabled in National Convention, in the city of Chicago, on the 20lh day of May, 1838, 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 riglits 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 bo 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 been 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 JouNSON call loudly for radical reform. 8. Wo professedly deplore the untimely and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, and regret the accession of Andrew JonssoN 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^ 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 properly 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 everj'' hazard by the United States as a relic of the feudal times, not authorized by (he 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 tieir lives in the service of the country. The bounties and pensions provided by the laws for tiiese 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 haa added so much to the wealth, development, and resources and increase of power to this nation, the asylum of the opj^ressed of all nations, should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy. 12. Tills Convention declares itself in sympathy with all the oppressed people which are struggling for their rights. The lollowing resolutions were also adopted unanimously, and are added to the declaration of principles: Rtaolved^ 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 founda^tion 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 Southern 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 honesily ap- plied to such payment, and where the obligations of tho Gov- ernment do not expressly state upon their face or the law under which they were issued does not provide that th^y shall be paid in coin they ought, in right and justice, be paid in the lawful money of the United States. '<0 POLITICAL PLATFORMS. 4. Equal taxation of every species of property according to the value ; reducing Government bonds and other public securities. 6. One currency for the Government and the people, the laborer and the office-holder, pensioner and the soldier, the producer and the bondholder. 6. Economy in the administration of 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 manufactures 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 powers 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 crimes 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 raaintenauce of the Govern- ment and the preservation of the Union under the Constitu- tion. It has repeatedly violated that most sacred pledge under which was rallied that noble volunteer army which car- ried our flag to victory. Instead of restoring the Union it has, 60 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, in tiino of peace, the right of tho people to be free from search and seizure; it has entered the post-oflice 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 tho 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 agains*: 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 tho debt cre- ated during the war. It has etripped the President of his Constitutional power of appointment even of his own Cabinet. Under its repeated assaults tho jjillars 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 tho ruins of liberty and the scat- tered fragments of the Constitution; and we do declare and resolve tiiat 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 this 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 e4id 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 ijlace of a Federal Union of coequal States, and that we regard the reconstruction acts so called of Congress such usurpations and unconstitutional, revolutionary and void ; that our soldiers and sailors who carried the flag of our country to victory against a most gallant and deterujined 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 i)re-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 of 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 ofSce 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 efibrts 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. 73 KEPUBLICAN PLATFORM, 1872. The Republican party of the United States, assembled m national convention in the city of Philadelphia on the 5th and 6th days of June, 1872, 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 Buffrage. Exhibiting unparalelled magnanimity, it criminally punished no man for political offenses, and warmly welcomed all who proved loyalty by obeying the laws and dealing justly 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. Tlie revenues have been care- fully collected and honestly appUed. Despite annual largo reductions of the rates of taxation, the public debt has been re- duced during General Grant's Presidency at the rate of a hun- dred millions a year, great financial crises have been avoided, and peace and plenty prevail throughout the land. Menacing foreign difficulties have been peacefully 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 believe 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 efiectually maintained throughout the Union by efficient and appropriate State and Federal legisla.tion. 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 ot 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 whose 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. Wo favor such additional legislation as will ex- tend the bounty of the Government to all our soldiers and POJilTlCAL PLATFORMS. 76 eailors who were honorably discharged, and who in the line of duty became disabled, without regard to the length of Ber- vice 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 Governmenta, 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 an.d 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 Lave 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- box; and therefore they are entitled to the thanks of the nation. 13. 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 PLATF0KM8. 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 liim 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 OP THE UNITED STATES. The Administration now in power has rendered itself guilty of wanton disregard of the laws of the land, and of usurping 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 tho 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 latin g 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 tho necessities of the country, and culpa- bly careless of the responsibilities of his high office. The 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 tho 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 8en8e 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 people, and should be employed only in the service of the country. Believing that an organization thus led and controlled can 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 it is the duty of government, in its dealings with Ihe people, to mete out equal and exact justice to all, of whatever nativity, race, color, or persuasion, religious or poliiical. 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 suflFrage, will guard the rights of all citizens more securely than any centralized 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 methods 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 an object of selfish greed. It is a scandal and reproach upon free instil utions, and breeds a demoralization dangerous to the perpetuity of republican government. We therefore regard a thorough reform of the civil service as one of the most press- ing necessities of the hour ; that honesty, capacity, and fidelity POLITICAL PLATTOBMS. T9t constitute the only valid claims to public employment; that the cfQces of the Government cease to be a matter of arbitrary favoritism and patronage, and that public station sliall 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 diflfer- 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 Iriendships 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 aflili- ations. POLITICAL PLATFORMS. NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION, 1872. Wp, 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. Wo 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 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 cen- tralized power. The public welfare requires the supremacy of the civil over the military authority, and freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus. We demand for the individual the largest liberty consistent with public order; for the Sfate 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 perpetuify 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 iavoritism 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 lor 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.

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 earued fame for the full reward of their patriotism. 10. We are opposed to all further grauts of lands to rail- roads or other corporations. The public domain should bo held sacred to actual seitlers. 11. Wo hold that it is the duty of the Government in its intercourse with foreign nations to rultivate the friendships of i)eacc, 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 su-jport of the candidates nominated by this convention, wo invite and cordially welcorao the co-operatioa of all patriotic citizens, without regard to previous political -aHiUations. NATION'AL LABOR REFORM CONVENTION. 1872. We hold that all political power is inherent in the people, and Jr*»e government iounded on their authority and estab- lished for \,he>r b<9ueAt; 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 faith, 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, and 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 PLATPOKMS. 83 ing the raw materials, assist in further developing the re- Bources of the country. 6. That the presence in our country of Chinese laborers, imported by capitalists in Ir.rgo 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 (here 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 in 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 and restore the Government of the people. 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 only recommendation to public cffice, either appointive or elective, and any and all laws looking to the establishment of this principle are heartily approved. THE BAXTER LIQUOR LAW. AN ACT to regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors; to provide against evils resulting from any sale thereof; to furnish remedies for damagea suffered by any person in consequence of such sale; prescribing penal ties; to repeal all laws contravening tke provisions of this act, and declaring an emergency. I^Appeoved Febbuart 27, 1873.] Section 1. Be it enacted ly the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, That it shall be unlawful for any person or persons, by himself or agent, to sell, barter, or give away for any purpose of gain, to any person whomsoever, any intoxi- cating liquors to be drunk in, upon, or about the building or premises where the liquor is sold, bartered, or given away, or in any room, building, or premises adjoining to or connected with the place where the liquor is sold, bartered, or given away for the purpose of gain, until such person or persons shall have obtained a permit therefor from the board of com- missioners of the county where he resides, as hereinafter provided. Sec. 2. Any person desiring a permit to sell intoxicating liquors to be drunk on the premises, shall file in the oiEce of the auditor of the proper county, not less than twenty days before the first day of the term of any regular session of the board of commissioners of such county, a petition in writing, stating therein the building or number, street, ward or town- ship wherein the permission is asked to be granted, praying for such permit, and certifying that the applicant is a resident voter of such county, and a citizen of the State of Indiana, and that he is a proper person to have and receive such permit ; which petition shall be signed by the applicant, and also by a majority of the legal voters resident in the ward, if it be in a (85) 86 THE BAXTER LIQUOR LAW. city or town, if it be in an incorporated town, or township wherein the applicant proposes to sell intoxicating liquors; such petition shall be kept on file by the auditor until the next ensuing regular session of the board of commissioners, when it shall be presented to the board for their action. The board shall examine such petition, and if satisfied the same is in proper form, and that it has been signed as hereinbefore required, shall direct a permit to be issued under the hand and seal of said auditor, and delivered to the person named in such permit, upon his complying with the provisions of this act and paying the costs of filing and recording said petition and costs of issuing said permit. Sec. 3. Before the granting of a permit by tne board of commissioners, the applicant shall cause to be executed and properly acknowledged before an officer authorized to take acknowledgment of deeds, a bond payable to the State of Indiana, in the sum of three thousand dollars, with good free- hold security thereon of not less than two persons, to be ap- proved by the board of commissioners, and conditioned for the payment of any and all fines, penalties and forfeitures incurred by reason of the violation of any of the provisions of this act; and conditioned further, that the principal and sureties therein named shall be jointly and severally liable, and shall pay to any person or persons, any and all damages which shall in any manner be suflered by or inflicted upon any such person or persons, either in person or property, or means of support, by reason of any sale or sales of intoxicating liquors to any person, by the person receiving such permit or by any of his agents or employees. Separate suits may be brought on said bond by the person or persons injured, but the aggregate amount recovered thereon shall not exceed the said sum of three thousand dollars, and in case the amount of said bond shall be exhausted by recoveries thereon, a new bond in the same pen- alty and with like sureties shall be filed within ten days, and in default thereof said permit shall be deemed to be revoked. Such bond, after its approval by the board of commissioners, shall be filed in the office of the auditor of the county, and shall be recorded by such auditor forthwith in a book prepared for that purpose, and shall there remain for the use of the The BAXTER LIQUOR LAW. 87 State of Indiana, and for the use of any person or persona suffering any damage as hereinbefore set forth. Such bond may be sued and recovered upon in any court having civil jurisdiction in the counly (except justices' courts) by or for the use of any person or persons, or their legal representatives, who may be injured or damaged by reason of any sale or sales of intoxicating liquors by the person receiving the permit or by any of his agents or employees. The record of the bond or a copy thereof, duly certified by such auditor, shall be admissible in evidence in any suit on such bond, and shall have the same force and effect as the original bond would have if ofiered in evidence. Sec. 4. The whole number of votes cast for candidates for Congress at the last preceding Congressional election in the township, and the whole number of votes cast for councilman or trustee in any ward or town, at the last preceding munici- pal election in any city or town in which the applicant for permit desires to sell said intoxicating liquors, shall be deemed to be the whole number of legal voters of such ward, town or township, a majority of whose names shall be signed to the petition of such applicant ; and it is further provided, that any person not a legal voter in said ward, town or town- ship, who shall sign said petition, or any person who signs the name of any person other than himself, without the permis- sion previously obtained of said person to so sign his name, shall be fined not less than fifty nor more than one hundred dollars for each signature so made. Sec. 5. No permit, as herein provided for, shall be granted for a longer or shorter time than one year. It shall be the duty of the Auditor of the county to furnish the person to whom such permit is granted, a copy of the order of the Com- missioners granting the permit, which copy shall show in con- spicuous letters the date of the commencement of such permit, and of its expiration; and it is further provided^ That such copy of the order of the Commissioners, certified by the Auditor, shall be hung up in a conspicuous place in the room where said liquor is sold, where the same may at all times be seen and read by any person desiring so to do. Should any person holding a permit be convicted of a viola- tion of any of the provisions of this act, such conviction shall 88 THE BAXTER LIQUOR LAW. work a forfeiture of his permit, and of all rights thereunder; and no i^ermit shall thereafter be granted to such person be- fore the expiration of five years from the date of such con- viction.

Sec. 8. Any person or persons who shall by the sale of in- toxicating liquor, with or without permit, cause the intoxica- tion, in whole or in part, of any other person, shall be liable for and be compelled to pay a reasonable compensation to any person who may take charge of and provide for such intoxi- cated person, for every day he or she is so cared for, which sum may be recovered in an action of debt before any court having competent jurisdiction.

GEOLOGICAL ITEMS. -:o:- " It is not easy to give an accurate and comprehensive defi- nition of the science of geology. It is, indeed, not so much one science, as the application of all the physical sciences to the examination of the structure of the earth, the investiga- tion of the processes concerned in the production of that structure, and the history of their action. That this large view of geology is not only a true but a necessary one, is shown by the fact, that it was not until considerable advances had been made in all the physical sciences which relate di- rectly to the earth, that geology could begin to exist in any worthy form. It was not until the chemist was able to explain the nature of the mineral substances of which rocks are com- posed; not till the geographer and meteorologist had explored the surface of the earth, and taught us the extent of land and water, and the powers of winds, currents, rains, glaciers, earth- quakes and volcanoes ; not until the naturalist had classified, named, and described the greater part of existing animals and plants, and explained their anatomical structure, and the laws of their distribution in space;— that the geologist could, with any chance of arriving at sure and definite results, commence his researches into the structure and composition of rocks and the causes which produced them, or utilize his discoveries of the remains of animals and plants that are inclosed in them. He could not until then discriminate with certainty batween igneous and aqueous rocks, between living and extinct ani- mals, and was, t herefore, unable to lay down any one of the foun- dations on which his own science was to rest." — Encyclopedia jBriianiiica^ Sih edition^ vol. xv. If there is any one fact which the study of geology teachea more unmistakably than another, it is, that the matter com- posing the crust of the earth, from the time when it was first called into existence by the flat of the Creator to the present, has been subjected to an endless cycle of mutations. There (93) 94 GEOLOaiCAL ITEMS. may have been periods of comparative rest and quiescen e, but none of perfect stagnation and stability ; so that the pres- ent condition and configuration of the earth's surface may be considered as the last result of a series of cosmical changes, which commenced with the dawn of creation, and are con- tinuing on into the future. "Had the exterior crust of the earth iDeen subjected to no modifying causes, the world would have presented the same appearance now as at the time of its creation. The distribu- tion of land and sea would have remained the same ; there would have been the same surface arrangement of hill, valley and plain, and the same unvarying aspects of animal and veg- etable existence. Under such circumstances, geology, instead of striving to present a consecutive history of change and progress, would have been limited to a mere description of permanently enduring appearances. The case, however, is widely different." There is no part of the present land-surface of the globe which has not at some time been covered by the ocean, while much of the present sea bottom has been in turn dry land. Many of the loftiest and most extensive ranges of mountains upon the globe — the Alps, the Andes, and the Himalayas — are of comparatively recent elevation (recent as compared with the White Mountains of New England, or the Appallachian chain of the Atlantic States); while the com- mencement of the existence of every animal and vegetable species at present found upon the earth was long subsequent to the existence of the myriad organisms, whose remains are now found fossil beneath its surface. The agencies which have produced, and are still tending to produce, changes in the constitution and structure of our planet, may be classified as follows : 1.

The following are some of the observations made most re- cently on this subject: In England, observations have been made in the vertical shafts of two very deep coal mines, viz., at Monkwearmonth, which is 1800 feet deep, and Dunkinfield^ which is upwards of 2000 feet deep, and in both cases the ob- servations were made while the workmen were sinking the shafts, and with every precaution against the influence of any extraneous causes. The former gave an increase of 1 deg. of Fahrenheit for every sixty feet of depth, and the latter 1 deg. for about every seventy feet. The artesian well of Grenelle (Paris), is 1800 feet deep ; observations made by Arago, during the boring, showed that the average increase of temperature in this was 1 deg. for sixty feet. At MordoriT, Luxemburg, the depth of the artesian well is 2400 feet, and the increase in temperature 1 deg. for every fifty-seven feet. At the artesian well of New Seltzwork, in Westphalia, the depth is 2i00 feet, and the increase 1 deg. for every fifty-five feet. At Louisville, Ky.,the depth of an artesian well, finished in 1850, is 2086 feet deep, and the average increase is 1 deg. for every sixty-seven feet below the first ninety feet from the surface. In the silver mine of Guanaxato, Mexico, 1713 feet deep, the increase is 1 deg. for every forty-five feet. In the coal mines of Eastern Virginia, the increase is about 1 deg. for every sixty feet. VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS. One or two remarkable instances of volcanic eruptions may be briefly noticed. First, for duration and force we may refer to that which took place in the island of Sumbawa (one of the Bunda Inlands lying east of Java), in the year 1S15. It com- menced on the 5th of April, and did not entirely cease until July. It3 influence (i. e. shocks, and the noise of the explo- sions) was perceptible over an area 1,800 miles in diameter, while within the range of its more immediate vicinity, embrac- ing a space of 400 miles, its efiects were most terrific. In Java, 300 miles distant, it seemed to be awfully present. The sky was overcast at noon day with clouds of ashes, which the light of the sun was unable to penetrate, and fields, streets, and houses were covered with ashes to the depth of several inches. At Sumbawa itself, immense columns of flame appeared to burst forth from the top of the volcano, Tombora, and in a 96 GBOLOOICAL ITEMS. short time the whole mountain appeared like a mass of liquid fire, which gradually extended iu every direction. As the eruption continued, a darkness supervened, so profound as to obscure even the light of the flames ; showers of stones and ashes fell continuously over the whole island; the sea rose twelve feet higher than it had ever been known to do before; and finally a whirlwind ensued, which tore up the largest trees, and carried them into the air, together with men, horses, cat- tle, and whatever else came within its influence. Of 12,000 inhabitants in the vicinity only six are believed to have es- caped, and of some entire villages not even a vestige remained. In 1772, the Papandayang, one of the loftiest volcanic moun- tains in Java, after a short but severe eruption, suddenly fell in and disappeared in the earth, carrying with it about ninety square miles of territory. Forty villages were engulfed, or covered with ejected matter, at the same time, and nearly 3,000 persons perished. — Wells^ Illustrated Geology- DESCRIPTIONS OF AN EARTHQUAKE. "A powerful eathquake," says Mr. Darwin, "at once destroys the oldest associations ; the world, the very emblem of all that is solid, has moved beneath our feet like a crust over a fluid; one second of time has conveyed to the mind a strange idea of insecurity, which hours of reflection would never have created." "To man," says Ilumbolt, "the earthquake conveys an idea of some universal and unlimited danger. We may flee from the crater of a volcano in active eruption, or from a locality threatened by the approach of a lava stream; but in an earth- quake, direct our flight whithersoever we will, we still feel as though we trod upon the very focus of destruction. Every sound — the faintest motion in the air — arrests our attention, and wo no longer trust the ground on which we stand. Ani- mals, especially dogs and swine, participate in the same anxious disquietude ; and even crocodiles, in the rivers of South Amer- ica, which at other times are dumb, have been observed to quit the water and run, with loud cries, into the adjacent forests." AQUEOUS AND ATMOSPHERIC AGENCIES. The aqueous and atmospheric agencies most prominently coaceiued in producing geological changes, are rains^ and the GEOLOGICAL ITEMS. ^7 gasses and moisture of the atmosphere^ winds, ice^ and snow^ springs^ rivers^ waves^ tides, and oceanic currents. The operation of water, acting mechanically, is, under all circumstances, to wear down the higher portions of the earth's crust, and transport the materials to lower localities — an ac- tion which obviously tends to reduce the wholo surface to a smooth and uniform level. On the other hand, the operations of igneous agent's — volcanoes, earthquakes, etc. — by breaking up pnd elevating the crust of the earth, tend to counteract the equalizing action of water and to produce that diversity of- surfaco which is indispensable to variety in bolh the vegetable and animal kingdoms. These two forces^ thcrelbrc — the aque- ous and the igneous — may be considered as antagonistic to each other, and to them may be ascribed the principal modifi- cations which have taken place, and are still taking place, in the crust of the globe. — WcWs Illustrated Geology CORAL REEFS. "The ocean," says Mr. Darwin, 'throwmg its breakers on the outer shore, appears an invincible enemy, yet we see it re- sisted, and even conquered, by means which at first seem weak and inefficient. No periods of repose are granted, and the heavy swell caused by the steady action of the trade wind never ceases. Tiie breakers exceed in violence those of our temperaie regtons; and it is impossible to behold them with- out leeling a conviction that rocks of granite or quartz would ultimately be demolished by such irresistable lorces. Yet these low coral islands stand and are victorious, for here another power, antagonistic to the former, takes part in the contest. The organic forces separate the atoms of carbonate of lime, one by one, from the loaming breaker?, and unite them into a symmetrical structure ; myriads of architects are at work day and night, month afier month, and we see their Bott and gelatinous bodies, through the agency of the vital laws, conquering the great mechanical power of the waves of the ocean, which neither the art of man nor the mechanical works of na< ure could BuccesHfuily resist." The animals which produce coral are very bimple, and resemble planl,s both in their figures and colors. 7 93 GEOLOGICAL ITEMS. THE FIRST FORMED STRATIFIED ROCKS. The adoption of the theory, that our earth was once in a state of entire molten fluidity, involves the existence of a sub- sequent period, when its primeval crust had sufficiently cooled down to allow of the condensation of watery vapor and of the existence of a sea upon its surface. Whenever this happened, the eroding and destructive action of water must have imme- diately manifested itself, while the particles of the consolida- ted igneous crust, worn off by the action of waves, tides, and currents, and deposited as sediments, would naturally produce stratified formations. The internal heat of the earth at that period, however, must have continued to act with great intensity near the surface, and the strata first deposited, consequently, were, in all prob- ability, soon greatly metamorphosed, i. ^. short end. SKETCHES OF ASTRONOMY. -:a- OBIGIN OF THE SOLAE SYSTEll. Many theories have been propounded at different periods of the history of astronomy, respecting the original formation of our Solar System, as well as all other suns and systems, ■which it has pleased the great creator of all things to call into existence, but no one has gained so great favor or excited so violent opposition, as the theory first proposed by Sir Wil- liam Herschel, and afterwards more especially applied by the celebrated La Place to the formation of the solar system. This theory may be thus stated :•— In the beginning all the matter composing the sun, planets, and satellites was diffused through space, in a state of exceedingly minute division, the ultimate particles being held asunder by the repulsion of heat. In process of time, under the action of gravitation, th^ mass assumed a round or globular shape, and the particles tending to the centre of gravity, a motion of rotation on an axis would commence. The gpeat mass, now gradually cool- ing and condensing, must increase its rotary motion, thereby increasing the centrifugal force at the equator of the revolv- ing mass, until, finally, a ring of matter is actually detached from the equator, and is left revolving in space by the shrink- ing away from it, of the interior mass. If now we follow this isolated ring of matter, we find every reason to believe that its particles will gradually coalesce into a globular form, and in turn form satellites, as it was itself formed. It is unneces- sary to pursue the reasoning further, for the same laws which produce one planet irom the equator of the central revolving mass, may produce many — until finally, the process is ended by a partial solidiQcation of the central mass, so great, that gravity aided by the attraction of cohesion, is more than suf ficient to resist the action of the centrifugal force, and no fur ther cha?age occurs. (106) SKETCHES OF ASTRONOMY. 107 It has been urged in favor of this theory, that it accounts for the striking peculiarities which are found in the organiza- tion of the solar system. That the rings of Saturn are positive proofs of the truth of the theory, they having cooled and con- densed without breaking. That the individuals constituting a system thus produced, must revolve and rotate as do the planets and satellites, and in orbits of the precise figure and position, as those occupied by the planets. It accounts for the rotation of the sun on its axis, and presents a solution of the strange appearance connected with the sun called the Zodiacal Light. It goes further and accounts for the forma- tion of single, double, and multiple suns and stars — and by the remains of chaotic matter in the interstics between the stars, and which are finally drawn to some particular sun, whose in- fluence in the end preponderates, accounts for the comets which enter our system from every region in space. In support of this theory it has been urged that the comets, in their organization, presents us with specimens of this finely divided nebulous or chaotic matter — and that the telescope reveals cloudy patches of light of indefinite extent, scattered throughout space, which give evidence of being yet unformed and chaotic. That many stars are found in which the bright nucleus or centre is surrounded by a halo or haze of nebulous light, and that round nebulous bodies are seen with the teles- cope, of an extent vastly greater than would fill the entire space encircled by the enormous orbit of the planet La Verrier, or having a diameter greater than 7,000 millions of miles. Such are a few of the arguments in support of this most ex- traordinary theory. We now present the objections which have been most strongly insisted on. The retrogade motions of the satellites of Uerschel, and their great inclination to the plane of the ecliptic can not be accounted for by this theory. That computation shows that no atmosphere of con- densed nebulous matter can extend to so great a distance from the suu, as does the matter composing the Zodiacal Light, and, finally, that the nebulous matter in the heavens will ulti- mately be resolved into immense congeries and clusters of stars, whose great distance has hitherto defied the power of the best instruments. In reply to the first objection, the friends of the theory doubt lOS 6K£TCH£S OF ASTRONOMY. the facts with reference to the satellites of Herschel. They reply that the matter composing the Zodiacal Light being in the nature of cometary matter, is thrown to a greater distance from the sun than gravity would warrant, by that power resid- ing in the sun which is able on the approach of comets to project those enormous trains of light, which sometimes render Ihem 60 wonderful. As to the last objection, it is urged that although many nebulos will daubtless be resolved into stars, by using more powerful telescopes, yet that these same teles- copes will reveal more new nebulae which cannot be resolved, than they will resolve — and as to the existence of nebulous matter, it is perfectly demonstrated by the physical organiza- tion of comets, and the existence of nebulous stars. Such was the state of the Astronomical argument, when Lord Rosse's Great Keflector was first applied to the explora- tion of the distant regions of space. In a religious pomt of view, this theory bad excited no small amount of discussion, in consequence of its supposed Atheistical tendencies. The friends of the theory contend that it was no more Atheistical to admit the formation of the universe by law, than to acknowl- edge that it is now sustained by laws. Indeed since we must go to the first great cause for matter in its chaotic state, as well as for the laws which govern matter, that this theory gave to us a grander view of the omniscience and omnipotence of God than could be obtained from any other source. In fine, that it harmonized with the declaration of scripture, which tells us that "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was witlwut form and void^ If the earth came into existence in its present condition, then it had form and was not void. Hence, this first grand declaration of the inspired writer must refer to the formation of the matter of which the heavens and earth were afterwards formed. Some went so far as to trace out dimly a full account of this theory in the order of creation, as laid down in Gensis. Let us now proceed to the discoveries of Lord Rosse, and their influence on this greatly disputed theory. The space penetrat- ing power of his six feet reflector is much greater than that of Sir William Herschel's great telescope, and it was anti- cipated that many nebulae which were unresolved into clusters of stars by Hershel, would yield under the greater power and light of Lord Rosse's telescope. This has proved to be the SKETCHES OF ASTRONOMY. 109 fact. Very many nebulas have been removed from their old places, and must hereafter figure among the clusters, while we are informed that many yet remain, even of the old nebulae, which defy the power of the monster telescope. The most remarkable object which has been resolved by Lord Rosse, is the great nebula in Orion, one of the most extraordinary objects in the heavens. Its size is enormous, and its figure very extraordinary. In certain parts adjoining the nebula the heavens are jet blacky either from contrast or by the vacuity of these regions. Two immense spurs of light are seen to i)roject from the principal mass of the nebula, and to extend to a most extraordinary distance. This will be better understood, by remembering that at the distance at which this nebula is removed from us, the entire diameter of the earth's orbit, 190 millions of miles, is an invisable point, less than one second, while this nebula extends to many thousands of times this distance, and more probably to many millions of times. Several stars have been found, and are visible on the nebula, but have hitherto been regarded as being between the eye of the observer and this remote object. Sir William Herschel was unable to resolve this mysterious body, and yet the nebula gave indications of being of the resolvable kind by its irreg- ular and curdled appearance under high powers. Several years since Dr. J. Lament, of Munich, after a rigid scrutiny, of this nebula with his great Refractor, pronounced a portion of it to be composed of minute stellar poinis^ and predicted its final perfect resolution into stars by greater power. This pre- diction has been fully verified, for Lord Rosse's great Reflector has solved the mystery, and filled this extraordinary object with the "jewelry of s'.ars.'' But the question recurs, what have the defenders of the nebular theory lost, or its enemies gained by this interesting discovery? Wo nro all liable to reach conclusions too hastily, and to join issue on false points. If the nebular theory depen- ded for its existance upon the irresolvability of the nebula in Orion, then indeed has the theory been entirely exploded. But this is not tlijo fact. No one has asserted that the great nebula in Orion was nebulous mattei\ and if it were not, then none existed. Such an issue would have been a false cna, had it been made. The theory has neither lost nor gained by the discoyeries 110 SKETCHES OP ASTRONOMY. thus far made; what time may develope it is impossible to say. In case certain data can be obtained, which appear to be accessible, then indeed may we demonstrate its ^ m n Jollity. Born in Ind. 1832; settled in J. C. 1862. Dem. Methodist. BROWN, J.

Clark Township is the northeast corner township ; it is five by seven miles, lays in a square, and contains thirty-five square miles. It is bounded on the north by Marion county ; on the east by Shelby county ; on the west by Pleasant township ; and on the south by Franklin township. The surface of Clark township is from a level to hilly ; much of it is extremely well adapted to grain raising and grazing pur- poses. It is well timbered with a good quahty of timber. The township is watered by a branch of Little Sugar Creek, and a small stream called Hurricane Creek. The public roads are kept in good order. There are about eight miles of gravel roads, built at a cost of about ^2,000 per mile. Clarksburg is the only town in Clark township, and contains a population of over one hundred inhabitants. Its people are a live, sensitive, energetic class, and take pride in the welfare of the township and country generally. The C. and M. R. R. touches its southeast corner, while the railroad running from Indianapolis to Greensburg runs near its northeast corner. The township is well improved. The fine, nicely arranged farms and handsome residences attest to the industry and artistic intelligence of its citizens. They sow, reap, eat and sleep con- tentedly, knowing that by so doing they are fulfilling the legiti- mate destiny of man on earth. The people of Clark township CLARK TOWNSHIP. 2Ig are affable, kind and generous, and take considerable interest in the educational and moral training of her rising generation. They are supplied with nine school houses, valued at about ^12,000. The population of the township is said to be about 1,600. The voting population is 320 ; Republican, 165; Democratic, 155.

The surface is generally level and gently undulating, with occasionally some hilly land ; all of it, however, is suscep- tible of a high state of cultivation. The soil is rich, and produces abundantly of all the grains, grasses, vegetables and fruits com- mon to the climate. The township is watered by several branches of Young's Creek, which are small and only profitable for stock water and drainage. The J., M. & I. Railroad runs through the township from north to south, striking very nearly its center, and affords ample means for transporting all the products of the township. Whiteland is situated in the south part, and is a thriving little village, with a population of about two hundred and seventy-five. Worthsville, near the center of the township, is a small place containing a population of industrious and intelligent people. Greenwood, in the northern part of the township, is the prin- cipal town in Pleasant township. It contains quite a number of good buildings, and its citizens are energetic, clever, and of good report. The public roads, bridges and school houses are kept in good repair. Individual improvements go to show that the people are enterprising and intelligent. Many good farms and well-constructed houses and barns may be seen throughout the PLEASANT TOWNSHIP. 233 entire township.

It contains forty-eight square miles. A great part of the land lays rolling and gently undulating; a small portion is quite hilly, while an- other small part is level. The soil is generally very rich, and produces corn, wheat, rye, oats, potatoes, fruits, vegetables, and in fact all temperate zone products. The township is well supplied with running streams. White River runs across the northwest corner; Honey Creek runs across the entire township from its southeast corner, and emp- ties into White River; Pleasant Run waters the northeast part, while Bluff Creek runs through the northwestern portion of the township. These streams are generally small, with the excep- tion of White River, which, however, is of no vital importance to the welfare of the people in White River township, except as a main channel for draining the country. The public improvements are excellently good. Bridges, roads and school houses are well cared for. There are two gravel roads completed, and several others in progress. Individual improvements will compare favorably with other parts of the country. A great many fine, well regulated farms, and handsome residences, with capacious barns, adorn the sur- face of White River township. i8 274 JOHNSON COUNTY. The towns arc generally small, but are made up of healthy, enterprising citizens. The people through the entire township are intelligent, generous and hospitable. They are well supplied with educational facilities, having eleven school houses, valued at about ;^6,ooo. J. B. Dresslar is Township Trustee. The people are also well supplied with church houses, and seem to take a strong interest in the moral welfare of the com- munity. The township has two flourishing Grange organizations, which are doing all that can be done toward bettering the condition of the farming class. The vote of this township is about 422 ; Democratic, 292 ; RepubHcan, 130. Among the early settlers now living in White River township are: Lan. Robards, B. Reynolds, M, S. Robinson, Wm. A. Robinson, Samuel Doty, Jos. M. Shufflebarger, Jacob Sutton, H. Sanders, Joseph Smith, Thomas Sells, John Robe, John Taylor, Shelby FuUen, Samuel Turner, J. M. Lyons, H. S. Lyons, A. W. Vorhies, Levi Groseclose, J. M. Boaz, John Byers, H. J. Tresslar, and others. The Doty family settled in White River township in the year 1822. They came through from North Bend, in the State of Ohio, and went into the township on " VVhitzel's Trace." This family appears to have consisted of three brothers and two sis- ters, who came into the country late in the spring ; at least, there were but the five ; three brothers and two sisters, who came out on the first journey. On account of the lateness of the season two of the brothers went back to Ohio, probably to get provisions and bring over more of their people. One brother and the two sisters remained in White River township, and while George Doty — for that was his name — killed wild game to supply their wants, the two girls, Mary and Sarah, cleared a small patch of ground and raised a little corn. For nearly three WHITE RIVER TOWNSHIP. 2/5 months they lived on milk thickened with a little flour, with occasionally a steak of venison. It is said that these girls were very much annoyed by rattlesnakes coming under the cabin floor and protruding their heads up through the crevices between the puncheons. They were attracted by the odor of cooked milk and flour. These unwelcome visitors were dispatched by the girls with a stout stick or handspike. Peter Baker and George Dot}' got out the logs for the first hewed-log house in the township. The first church hoLise was built near the " bluffs," and the first pastor was William Irvin, of the Baptist order. The church house was a double building, having a cross partition, and was made of hewn logs. The first school was in one of the rooms of the church. The first Meth- odist ministers who preached in White River Township were, Eli Farmer, J. Scott, and Jacob Brummell. The first white child born in the township was Samuel E. Wishard, son of John Wishard. The first mill was a " horse-mill," built by John Cagley. The first lumber was sawed with a "whip-saw." The first orchard was planted by Andrew Brown. The first death was a man by the name of Warner. There were no coffins, nor lumber to make one ; so the neighbors cut down a tree and dug out a trough in which to place the remains of Mr. Warner. They then dug a grave with an old ax and hoe, in which the)- buried the body. Perhaps the soul of this man V\'arner never knew of the manner of his burial, and even if it did, what effect could it have on his future happiness? We presume that if the silly world of wealthy beings who spend millions to adorn little spots of earth where dead bodies lay, could only remember that in Christ all were made alive, and that there is now no more death, they would turn and bestow their wealth upon poor, suf- fering, living humanity. The soul of man goes to that home, prepared for it by the Great Architect of the Universe, and c ,ti not lay smouldering in the dust of earth. The first land cleared in White Rixer township is now known 2/6 JOHNSON COUNTY. as the "Doty Hill." In an early day, when the earth was covered with large forest trees, it was the custom to cut out the smaller ones and girdle the large ones. After being girdled awhile, the bark would slip off and leave many of them quite smooth, so that in "roasting ear" time the squirrels would come into the field, when the boys would frighten them off, and in their efforts to climb the trees many were captured.

Bluff Creek Grange, No. 840; William C. Bice, Master; C. R. McColum, Secretary ; membership, 70. This Grange is in a flourishing condition. There is one other Grange in this township, which is said to be doing well. There are also other churches which our agent was not able to report specifically, but we learn that White River township, in the way of intelligence and morals, is inferior to none in the county. They have plenty of church houses, school houses, and Lodge rooms, and they seem to be proud of them, as well they may be, for in them our young Americans are to be reared up to a noble stand-point of freedom and intel- ligence.

No political or religious pref- erences. There are two spheres for the spirit of man to float in ; an upper and a lower one. He who makes choice of the upper can see the handiwork of God in all his crea- tion ; he is ready to thank him for all the blessings bestowed upon the human race ; while the individual who is so unfor- tunate as to get into the lower strata can sec no beauty in nature, can feel no sympathy for his fellows ; has no religi- ous preferences; has no love for his Creator; no thanks to offer.

Union township is considerably broken, although but little of it is waste and. It is better adapted to grazing purposes than for any other. It is watered by the head branches of Stotts' Creek and Clear Creek. The former waters the northern, and the latter the southern part. Union Village is the only town in the township, and has a population of about 100. Its inhabitants are social and enter- prising. The population of the entire township is about 1600. The voting population is about 320, being largely Democratic. There are ten school houses in the township, valued at $6000. Willis Deer, Trustee. There are also about ten miles of gravel road, built at a cost of over ;^20oo per mile. The pubHc pro- perty is in good condition. Individual improvements are equally as good as any other section of the county with like advantages. The people are generally accommodating, and eager to advance in knowledge and comfort. The following are the names of some of the early settlers still living in Union township: E. W. VVyrick, Willis Deer, Mr. Henderson, Samuel Throckmorton, Cornelius Lyster, J. W. Riv- ers, John Kerlin, Garret Vandivcr, Peter Vandiver, Jas. H. Van- diver, Wm. T. Vandiver, Samuel Dillman, S. T. Riggs, Charles UNION TOWNSHIP. 295 A. Smith, Joseph Young, Mrs. Mary Utterback, Henry Utter- back, Ephraim Etter, Henry Pruner, and others, Madison Vandiver built the first dry goods store in Union township. The currency mostly used in that day and place was the skins of deer and coons. The old store-house is still stand- ing, and is eighteen by twenty-four feet. John Vandiver built one among the first grist mills in the township. It was built on Stotts' Creek. This creek took its name from a man by the name of Stotts, who was one of the early settlers in the township. jfwL w^ The first school was organized by John Shuck.

This man refused to give our agent any information concerning himself; so our patrons will have to be content with knowing that there is such a man, and that he lives somewhere west of Franklin. We only occasionally come in contact with such men, and, as it seems strange to most reasonable men, that any one should refuse to have his name, date of birth, settlement, etc., placed before his neighbors, we can give only a few reasons why any one should do so. A man in Crawfords- ville, doing a large business in the sale of agricultural im- plements, utterly refused to give us his name, or any other knowledge concerning himself, because, as he said, "we would make money out of it. " The science of physiog- nomy taught us that the real reasons for his refusing were hid within his breast years ago. Some refuse from positive ignorance ; some because of egotistical selfishness ; and others from a morbid and spiteful hatred they have for all public enterprises. TAYLOR, J.

Hensley Township is located in the southwest corner of the county, and contains thirty-six square miles. It lays in a body, six miles square. The surface of the township is somewhat broken. The bottoms, along the creeks, are made of sand and soil, composing a pliable loam unsurpassed for the production of corn. The uplands are not so rich, yet they produce good crops of wheat, oats, fruits, vegetables, and average yields of corn. The most valuable production of these high lands is blue grass; the dryness of the soil gives to it a richness not obtained from the grasses produced in the low lands. Hensley township is watered in the southern part by a small stream called Indian Creek ; this creek affords stock water for many good farms, and is of much consequence in that respect. Other parts of the township are watered by small branches, running in various directions. The public property is of a substantial character, and well cared for. The improvements in the township are generally of the first-class ; farmers and tradesmen seem to be thriving in their several occupations. Great interest is taken in the moral and educational affairs of the township ; school houses and churches are seen on every hand, and go to establish the fact that these people are looking forward to a time when every man will be rewarded according to that which he has done. Hensley township is traversed by the C. & M. R. R., thereby affording to the inhabitants means for the transportation of their HENSLEY TOWNSHIP, 31/ produce. The township has two villages within her borders, Trafalgar and Samaria. The former is the principal place of business, and is located on the C. & M. R. R., near the north- east corner of the township. Trafalgar has a population of about 300 ; the people are industrious, benevolent and affable. Our agent desires that we mention the name of R. Cook, a hotel keeper in Trafalgar, who, according to our agent's report, is a genial and accommodating gentleman, always endeavoring to make his customers feel at home, and supplying his table with the best of refreshments. We suppose there can be no doubt as to the gentlemanly qualifications of Mr. Cook, but we suspect that our agent, J. L. Crooks, was smartly sharpened by the good things on the table. The village of Samaria is situated on the C. & M. R. R., near the center of the township, and has a population of about one hundred. Its citizens are enterprising and courteous towards strangers. They also take much pride in the advancement of the interests of the community at large; in fact, we may say that the citizens of Hensley township are a live, industrious, go-ahead, benevolent, and social people generally. This township has ten school houses, valued at $6,000. Voting population, 375; Democratic, 300; Republican, 75. G. W. Musselman is the present Township Trustee. We are requested to mention the existence in this township of an organization called the Hensley Township Horse Thief Detective Association. The object of this association is to de- tect and bring to justice thieves of every character. Their call- ing is surely legitimate, and needs to be imitated in other parts of the country, until prowling thieves could find no safe retreat in the land. We understand that considerable stolen property has, at various times, been recovered and returned by the mem- bers of this association to its proper owners, "The way of the transgressor is hard." "The wages of sin is death." 3l8 JOHNSON COUNTY. The following are the names of some of the early settlers of Hensley township, still living: Andrew Underwood, H. S. Lyster. Samuel Kephart, A. Davenport, Thomas Spicer, R. Slack, S. Sturgeon, William Evans, Benjamin Byers, Richard Furgason, J. M. Green, John Slack, James T. White, G. W. Musselman, Jesse Moore, and others. Richardson Hensley was the first white man who settled in Hensley township. From him the township took its name. He settled on Indian Creek. The first election in the township was held at his house. Mr. Hensley died at the good old age of ninety years. The old pioneer sleeps in the valley of death, but his name still lives with the people of Hensley township. THEOLOGICAL SOCIETIES.

NINEVEH TOWNSHIP. 33/ NINEVEH TOWNSHIP. Nineveh Township is located in the south part of the county, between Blue River and Hensley townships. It lays in a square, and contains an area of 36 square miles. The north part of the township is rich and highly productive ; the south part is consid- erably broken, and is valuable for pasture, and for its immense forests of splendid poplar, walnut, ash and oak timber. The township is watered by Nineveh, Burkhart, and Herriott Creeks, all small streams. Other little branches run through it, which are valuable for stock water, and as an outlet for w:aste water. The I. & C. R. R. runs through the north-west corner of the township. Nineveh (Williamsburg) is the only town, and is lo- cated in the south part of the township. It is a thriving place, made up of a good class of people. The township is well sup- plied with roads, which are well kept. There are about five miles of good gravel road within her borders. Ten school houses, valued at ;^ 12, 000, show that the people are interested in educational matters. E. B. Graves is the present Township Trustee.

He is not dependent on the diction of rings or clubs for thought or action. He believes the great Creator of the universe has abundantly- blessed the farmer ; and is not willing that the weak shall be oppressed by the strong. He believes that all public enterprises, judiciously carried out, are a blessing to the country. He is independent of creeds, dogmas and re- ligious hypocrisies.

BLUE RIVER TOWNSHIP, 355 BLUE RIVER TOWNSHP. Blue River Township is situated in the south-east corner of the county, and is bounded on the south by Bartholomew county, on the east by Shelby county, on the North by Frank- lin township, and on the west by Nineveh township. It is a small township, the smallest in the county, and contains less than twenty square miles. The soil is very rich, and produces abundantly of all the grains and vegetables common to the climate. The township is watered by two very important streams — Sugar Creek and Blue River. Sugar Creek runs through it from north to south, and near the south line of the township it makes a junction with Blue River. Sugar Creek runs nearly through the center of the township, thus giving to Blue River township drainage facilities not common to most townships. Blue River cuts across the south-east corner of the township, and enters into Sugar Creek near the Bartholomew county line. These streams are both valuable for milling purposes, generally affording water sufficient to propel heavy machinery. The sur- face of the country is somewhat broken along the streams, yet there is much land lying undulating and on a level. The improvements of Blue River township are generally of the first-class. Many fine farms, good, substantial dwellings and out-buildings, mills, factories, bridges, roads, and school houses, all go to show that the people are enterprising and appreciate advancement in the arts and sciences. 356 JOHNSON COUNTY. Edinburgh is the principal town in Blue River township, and is located in the southeast corner of the township. It is a place of much enterprise, and seems to be in a thriving condition. It contains many good buildings, and is beautifully located upon the banks of Blue River. Some of the residences are splendid, and situated upon plats of rolling ground, which give to them an inviting appearance. Edinburgh is a place noted for its ship- ments of grain, its factories, school facilities, and general enter- prise. The Blue River Starch Works are located at this place, and are said to use annually 150,000 bushels of corn, amounting to a business of ;$ 150, 000 yearly. The Blue River Grape Sugar Works are also located here. For a more extended notice of these enterprises see county history. Edinburgh has a graded school of a high-toned character, and affords educational facilities to about six hundred and fifty scholars. The building is estimated to be worth ^15,000. The J., M. & L. R. R. runs into this township at the south- east corner, and runs diagonally through the township from south east to north-west, affording excellent shipping facilities. The city of Edinburgh is located upon this railroad. Among the early settlers now living in Blue River township, are John McEndree, Charles Bay, N. S. Branigan, John Collier, E. M. Williams, Levi Ray, P. G. Robison, A. C. Halstead, L.J. Henderson, William Durbin, J. Runkle, H. D. Wright, John A. Thompson, Alexander Breeding, and A. C. Thompson. Mr. Allen Williams, one of the early settlers of Johnson county, claims to have made the first coffin used in the neigh- borhood of Edinburgh. . It was made for a Mrs. Townsend. It is also claimed that Mr. Williams cleared the first ground in the city of Edinburgh. Rev. John Logan preached the first Methodist sermon in Blue River township, which was in the year 1822. A man by the name of John Beard settled in this township BLUE RIVER TOWNSHIP. 357 in the year 1822; eight years afterward this inhuman monster, in the middle of winter, bound a negro woman to a stump and left her out in the cold wintry blasts all night ; she died from the effects of the exposure, which caused Mr. Beard to flee the country, and saved Blue River township from being the home of a murderer's posterity. Let vengeayice folloiv them that fear not the laws of justice. One Isaac Collier is said to have been the man who built the first mill in the township, and was the first blacksmith in Edin- burgh. The township of Blue River has five school houses — two brick and three frame — valued at about ^6000. The population of the township is about 3500.

Infidel. Here we have a man who is willing to say to the world that he beheves the Bible to be a book of lies and silly tales, originated by designing men for the purpose of ambitious gain ; he is willing to say that the most intelligent creature of God's creation is as the beast of the field, having no promise of a life hereafter. He is willing to say that God did He when he pronounced man a living soul. He is willing to say that his Creator lied when he promised the Son of Man for the salvation of the world — that he lied when he said, ' 'This is my beloved Son, hear ye him," Mr. Adams, that word " Infidel " is a fear- ful one to attach to one's faith. Yet, if you can see no God in man's nature — in his desires and aspirations, or in this beautiful world, then cling to it, Adams, C. E. ; cooper; Edinburgh.
