its surprising development 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 a threat of disunion, so often made by Democratic members -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 ascendancy, 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 strongly to rebuke and -forever silence. - -_Fourth_—That the maintenance inviolate of the rights of the States, -and especially the right of each State to order and control its own -domestic institutions, according to its own judgment exclusively, -is essential to that balance of power on which the perfection and -endurance of our political faith depend, and we denounce the lawless -invasion by armed force of any state or territory, no matter under what -pretext, as among the gravest of crimes. - -_Fifth_—That the present Democratic administration has far exceeded -our worst apprehensions, in its measureless subserviency to the -exactions of a sectional interest, as is especially evident in its -desperate exertions to force the infamous Lecompton Constitution upon -the protesting people of Kansas—in construing the personal relation -between master and servant, to involve an unqualified property in -persons—in its attempted enforcement everywhere, on land and sea, -through the intervention of Congress and the federal courts, of the -extreme pretensions of a purely local interest, and in its general and -unvarying abuse of the power intrusted to it by a confiding people. - -_Sixth_—That the people justly view with alarm the reckless -extravagance which pervades every department of the federal government; -that a return to rigid economy and accountability is indispensable -to arrest the system of plunder of the public treasury by favored -partisans; while the recent startling developments of fraud and -corruption at the federal metropolis show that an entire change of -administration is imperatively demanded. - -_Seventh_—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 contemporaneous exposition, -and with legislative and judicial precedent, is revolutionary in its -tendency, and subversive of the peace and harmony of the country. - -_Eighth_—That the normal condition of all the territory of the United -States is that of freedom; that as our republican fathers, when -they had abolished slavery in all our national territory, ordained -that no person should be deprived of life, liberty, or property -without due process of law, it becomes our duty, by legislation, -whenever legislation is necessary, to maintain this provision of -the constitution against all attempts to violate it; and we deny -the authority of Congress, of a territorial legislature, or of any -individuals, to give legal existence to slavery in any territory of the -United States. - -_Ninth_—That we brand the recent reopening of the African slave trade, -under the cover of our national flag, aided by perversions of judicial -power, as a crime against humanity, 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 execrable traffic. - -_Tenth_—That in the recent vetoes by their federal governors of the -acts of the Legislature of Kansas and Nebraska, prohibiting slavery -in those territories, we find a practical illustration of the boasted -Democratic principle of non-intervention and popular sovereignty, -embodied in the Kansas and Nebraska bill, and a denunciation of the -deception and fraud involved therein. - -_Eleventh_—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. - -_Twelfth_—That while providing revenue for the support of the general -government, by duties upon imposts, sound policy requires such an -adjustment of these imposts as to encourage the development of the -industrial interest of the whole country, and we commend that policy -of national exchanges which secures to the workingmen liberal wages, -to agriculture remunerating prices, to mechanics and manufacturers an -adequate reward for their skill, labor, and enterprise, and to the -nation commercial prosperity and independence. - -_Thirteenth_—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 -supplicants for public bounty, and we demand the passage by Congress -of the complete and satisfactory homestead measure, which has already -passed the house. - -_Fourteenth_—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 or abroad. - -_Fifteenth_—That appropriations by Congress for river and harbor -improvements of a national character, required for the accommodation -and security of an existing commerce, are authorized by the -constitution, and justified by an obligation of the government to -protect the lives and property of its citizens. - -_Sixteenth_—That a railroad to the Pacific Ocean is imperatively -demanded by the interests of the whole country; that the federal -government ought to render immediate and efficient aid in its -construction, and that, as preliminary thereto, a daily overland mail -should be promptly established. - -_Seventeenth_—Finally, having thus set forth our distinctive principles -and views, we invite the co-operation of all citizens, however -differing on other questions, who substantially agree with us in their -affirmance and support. - - - - -CONNECTICUT WIDE-AWAKE SONGSTER. - - - - -LINCOLN AND VICTORY. - -BY W.

The original song is furnished to -us by the author’s friend, Samuel C. Brewster, Esq.: - - - WHAT mean the joyful shouts that ring - So gladly through the air? - A better day is opening— - A day all bright and fair! - - Lincoln and Hamlin, wise and great, - Our star-lit standard bear - Triumphant to the helm of State, - And these their heralds are. - - They rise, from hamlet, city, town, - From high-souled men and free, - Who shout aloud as they strike down - Misrule’s dark tyranny! - - From Bunker’s Hill and Lexington, - Hark! how the anthems rise; - From Groton’s heights and Stonington - Their echoes reach the skies! - - They roll from the Atlantic shore, - O’er mountain, plain, and glen, - To where the vast Pacific’s roar - Proclaims the loud Amen! - - From where Superior rolls her flood, - From where Saint Lawrence flows, - They peal along, o’er dale and wood, - To where the orange grows. - - These shouts go up from men of might, - Of heart and principle; - Sure conquerors in a righteous fight, - _Truth_ is invincible! - - Lincoln and Hamlin!—honest, great— - The spangled banner bear - In triumph to the helm of State! - We _hail_ their entrance there! - - - - -CAMPAIGN SONG. - -_Air_—“Hail to the Chief.” - - - FREEMEN, the day of your triumph is dawning, - Shake out the folds of your banner once more - Join in the anthem that heralds the morning; - See! the long night of oppression is o’er. - Hark! from our native hills - Comes there a shout that thrills - Liberty’s temple from portal to dome. - Glory to God on high! - Union with Liberty, - Finds in the hearts of our people a home. - - Burnish your armors like heroes in story, - Sound the loud tocsin that calls to the war; - Freedom enthroned in the land of her glory - Bids you march on by the light of her star. - Let the wild echo sweep - Back from each mountain steep. - Brave old Columbia joins in the fray, - While with united voice - Liberty’s sons rejoice - In the proud triumph that waits them to-day. - - Then shall our country’s name shine through the ages, - Bravely redeemed by the _men_ of her soil; - Then shall the birthplace of heroes and sages - Honor the brawny-armed servants of toil. - Rally, young hearts and brave, - Let your broad banner wave - Over the nation from inland to sea. - Hasten the coming time, - When every land and clime - Breaking their shackles shall march with the free. - R.
