PREAMBI.R.
AVe, tho Liberal Rcpublicani of tho
United States in Convention assembled at
Cincinnati, proclaim tho following princi
ples ns essential to just government:
HEAD INK IT CM IIITRIED.
1. "Wo rccognlzo tho equality of all
men beforo tliu law, nnd hold that it is
the duty of tho government in Its dealings
with the people to moto out EQUAL AN D
EXACT JUSTICE TO ALL, OF
VHATEVEI5XATIONALITY, BACE,

GIOUS OK POLITICAL.
2. AVE PLEDGE OURSELVES TO

THIRTEENTH, FOURTEENTH AND
FIFTKENTU AMENDMENTS OF
THE CONSTITUTION.
U.MVEHNAI. AMXKSTY.
3. "Wo demand tho immedlato and al
folutc removal of all disabilities imposed
on account of tho rebellion which was
finally subdued sovon years ago, bclioving
that UNIVERSAL AMNESTY WILL
RESULT IN THE COMPLETE PAC
IFICATION IN ALL SECTIONS OF
THE COUNTRY-
liEMOCHATIC TO THE COKE.
4. LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT
with impartial suffrage, will guard the
rights of all citizens moro securely than
any centralized power. The pcoplo and
fho public wolfaro requiro tho SUPRE
MACY OF THE CIVIL OVER THE
MILITARY AUTHORITY and
FREEDOM OF PERSON UNDER
THE PROTECTION OF THE HA
BEAS CORPUS. "Wo demand for tho
individual the largest liberty consistent
with public order, for tho stuto self-government,
and for tho nation n return to
the methods of peace and Uio constitu
tional limitations of power.
"TRUE AN PKEACHIXti."
0. Tho civil servico of tho government
has become a moro instrument of partisan
tyranny and personal ambition, and an
object of fdfish greed. It is n scandal
and reproach upon free institutions, nnd
breeds a demoralization dangerous to tho
perpetuity of republican government.
THEUEFUKE A WISE DEMAND.
C. Wo therefore regard a THOROUGH
REFORM OF THE CIVIL SERVICE
as one of the most pressing necessities of
the hour; that honesty, capacity and fldoV
ity constitute tho only valid claims to pub
lic employment; that tho offices of tho
government cease to be a matter of nrbl
trary favoritism and patronage, and that
public station become, again tho post of
honor. TO THIS END IT IS IMPER
AT1VELY REQUIRED THAT NO
PRESIDENT SHALL BECOME
CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION.

COMMENTS
OF THE
PRESS.
AMERICAN
Mr. Greei.ey'h lottor of acceptance Is
just what was expected of tho nomlnoe of
tho Cincinnati convention it it a patri
otic and democratic document, which
stamps the writer ns a man whoso head
and whoso heart mako him eminently fit
to bo the president of tho United States.
Tiio letter will add to tho enthusiasm al
ready felt for tho liberal ticket find fas
ter Its friends and compel tho respect of its
enemies.
The METUorons 'Jouns'AL sees hopo
ahead for Grant, becauso the Chicago
Times,' August Bolmont, and A. II.
Stovcns will not support Greeley. Not
withstanding their opposition, tho lido hat
set In strongly In favor of Greeley, and It
is now nno of tho most probable of tho
probabilities of tbo future, that ho will bo
nominated at Baltimore. Tbo manoeuvres
of tho 'Timet,' Belmont nnd Stovcnt will
then bo as impotent to prevent his elec
tion, as thoy wcro to prevent hit nomination.
The radical i-ahty is endeavoring to
mako capital out of tho fact that Oreoloy
says ho will withdraw from tho presiden
tial contest in tbo event of a nomination
being made at Baltimore, and uro offering
tho democrats much superfluous advice
about preserving tholr self-respect, not be
ing made instruments to elect u rcpub
lican, etc. Greeley has tho sonse to fore-
too that without thorough co-operation be
tween the democrat and libcruls, neither
he nor any other opposition candidato to
Grant can be elected, and prefers, of
course, the abandonment of tho contest in
tho beginning, to going through n laborious
and anxious campaign only to bo defeated
at tho closo. We cannot regard Mr. Groe-
loy's intention to withdraw in caso nomi
nations aro made at Baltimore, in tho light
of r threat toward tho democracy. It it
a precautionary exercise of wisdom which
ho, or any othor candidato tlmllarly situ
ated, would bo Justified in performing
A reformed DRUNKARD and gamblor
who flourishes somewhoro in tho cst,wbose
surname is Doo,and whoso christian name
is Robort, hat announced his intention, af
ter "careful and profound" deliberation, to
cast hit voto for Gen. Grant. "Mr. Doo,"
tayt tho radical paper which contains tho
interesting and important information,
"loves his follow-man nnd hopes to bo in
' strumcntal in tho hands of God in reform
ing the poor drunkard." What connec
tion the now-fledgod philanthropist, who
rejoices in tho name of Doo, tcci between
"reforming tho poor drunkard" nnd vot-
ng for Gen. Grant, wo are not told, but
Doo understands hlmsolf, of course, and
all good peoplo will wish him success in
hit reformatory labors. If Doo is to be nn
instrument in thohandt of God In reform-
Ing tho poor drunkard, let him voto for
Grant by all menus, and If Grccloy should
bo elected, Grant shouldn't disappoint
Doo't effort! by falling Into old habits.
t-
Mr. Voouukeh bus supplemented his
late Indiscretion by a letter to an old
Terre Hauto friend, Judge llrlggs. Ho
reiterates hit hostility to Mr. Greeley, but
announce! thut he will under no clreum
stances support Grant. "I shall stand by
my tinccro and life-long principles," tayt
tho Sycumoro. "If for this course I urn to
be condemned," ho continues, "I am en
tlrely content. I would not take any
other for all the honors tho world hat to
give." This it highly dramatic and
sacrificial. It It a sad tight to teo a man
to wedded to principle that ho will not
yield a prejudice or two to save the
country. Wo can lay our hands on demo,
cratt who havo been at actlvo in the
faith at Mr. Voorbeet, who havo at keen
an appreciation of personal honor an gen
tlemen from tho Wabash region, who will
iKrom tho New York ExpreM.
If tho administration nover meant any
thing by Bancroft Davis' claim for conse
quential damages, and never expected ono
Dennv from tills claim, is it, after all, so
much of a backing out to say so 7 Tho
whole thine I: not only a blomlsh, but n
blotch, and this Is the great objection to
the treaty, Every step taken, from tho
originul misunderstanding, has bcon from
bad to worse. It it almost Impossible to
rcallzo how a treaty could have boon signed
at Washington, with nny clauso In It, or
In accoptcd corrcspondenco Icadlnc to it.
with such n bono of posslblo or probnblo
contention in lit very center. A no nigh
commissioners and the senate may well
tnko blame to thcmsolvcs. If it can bo
put in a decent shapo nnd recommended
wo shall heartily rejoice. Wo havo no
inch hostility to General Grant und hit
administration as to desiro for ono mo.
men I to too a treaty rejected, becauso tho
the cllect will bo to inturo tno adminislra
Hon or tho dominant party. The country
beforo party, anu peace nnd good will be'
foro international strife, whatever tho ml
vantneo to party. Let the treaty not
stand or full on party grounds, nor bo de
feated by u pretenso as to claims, nor by
nny sort o: jugglery.
MORI THAN CAN II K 1IONORA1ILY GRANTED.
From the lloston AdTertiser
Tho laiiRuntfu of tho treaty it capnhlo of
a construction that wo rocede from a posi
tion In which, as Mr. Fish has shown, wo
wcro nuito within our richt. This wo havo
not done, nnd this wo ought not to do. It
it moro than England ought to ask, nnd it
is more than wo can honorably grunt. Wo
regret alto that tho principlo it not put in
form, liko tho threo rules of tho Treaty,
and submitted jointly by tho governments
Willi n retrospective enect- At the treaty
reads, wo promito to do something; En
gland makes no promito whatever. A
ireuly bctweon two friondly nations should
show u consideration given by ono govern
ment lor what is promisod by tus other, in

received." Tho scntonco it cnpablo of be-
intr nut in much nioru acceptable thane.
and it should bo re.nodeled beforo our gov
ernment accedct to it.
AT ALL EVENTS HAVE THE TREATY.
From t ! Plnlftilelphia Inquirer.
Wo aro asked to withdraw a claim that
was never lust, wiso nor cenerous, and
thnt never was in harmony with tho
treaty. Briofly, wo nro asked to do that
which It is right to do, and wo owo it to
our honor as n nation to do it. This is
not the time for tho censure of mon, nor
tho sticking to u point too nicoly. Tho
graver question, whether or not tho treaty
shall "bo saved, it beforo tho sonato. If
the president wcro wrong In permitting
tho claims for indirect damages to go Into
our "caso," he Is right now in asking that
they sball bo withdrawn, nnd every in
stinct of probity, and every material in
terest of tho couutiy demand that the sen
ate shall sink all loss important issues and
help him to correct Ills egregious mistake
LET OUR HONOR UK rUEHERVED.
From the llonton Post.)
Thu honor of tho country is tho first
thought in thu mind of every American
citizen. Whatever is lost, let thut bo sa
credly proserved. Next to that comet tho
substantial considerations of commerce
nnd trade, of a money market unshaken
bv scbemlni' rumors nnd ot international
relations crowing continually firmer and
closer. Tho Indirect claims aro nothing
more than a sentiment at best; und it
need not tako long to decldo whothcr It is
wise, statctuianllko, practical and humane
to adhcro to them at tho cost of the treaty.
.NO 11ACKD0WN.
From the PhllailtlphU l'rem.
There has been no backdown, for
Sccrotary Fish admitted, substantially, in
tho early part of the correspondence, that
tho Washington government did not ex
pect a largo money indemnity, but only n
tettiomont ot tho question and tho es
tablishment of a rule which should guide
botn nnllont in sucu cases nereaiter.

"Oh, I don't lnqulro If anything is truo

Ho continued with tho only touch or as

Ho added further that many of tho

From tho Philadelphia Age.
Tho following corrcspondenco shows tbo
present condition of n long dispute be
tween two neighbors :
Dkau Bull: Snmo time ngo your
wagon ran into my buggy, at the turupiku
gate, and broke ono shaft and knocked
tour tpokes out of tho left wheel. What
uro you going to do about it? Truly
yours, Jonathan Smith.
Dear Smith : I don't sen that I ought
to pay the damage dono by tho wagon.
In I'act, 1 hud lent it to n relation of yours.
But, at you say I um responsible, I agree
to leave it to Hunt Bicitmun, who keeps
thu toll-gnto, lo tay whether I ought to
puy thedumiigo. Yours truly,
John Bull.
Dkar Bull: I ngroo to leave it to
Breitmun. Truly yourt,
Jonathan Smith.
Dkau Smith: I went to Brcltman't
this morning, and hu showed mo tho bill
sent in by Mr. Shad, your attorney. Ho
tayt that by the injury to your buggy you
woru stopped from going to town, whero
you might have inaao $500,000 by a spec
ulation iu mess pork. He but put in it bill
of $oOO,007.60. I would not object to thu
$7.60 fur repair! to tho buggy, but tho
rest of the claim it ridiculous. Yours,
John Bull.
Dkau Sir; It don't uiakoany dill'eronco
about thu amount of my bill. Wo liavu
left it to Brcllman to tay whut't right.
Yourt, Jonathan Smith.
Deah Sir: I will not leuvo any such
claim to Breitman ; ho can not understand
It; Indeed, hu hardly understands English
and might give a smashing award agaiiitt
mo on your ridiculous claim. Yours
truly, John Bull.
Dkar Bull: Don't let us quarrel about
it. My attorney's clulm doet teem to bo
ridiculous. All my friends toll mo to.
Let ut both tay to llroltman that it it
ridiculous, and thun leave the mutter to
him. Yourt truly,
Jonathan Smith.
Dear Sin: SInco you admit It It ridic
ulous, vouiuuu hotter witnuruw it. I will
pay anything that Breitman tuyt for ro
nuirlnir tho buggy, but will not nut It in
any fellow's power to bankrupt me,
