The Representative.
National Union Republican Convention.
Tin* undersigned, constituting the National
Committee designated by the Convention held
at Chicago on the 20th of May, 1868, hereby
call a conventinn of the Union Republican
part v, at the city of Philadelphia, on the 5tli
'day "of June next, at 12 o'clock, noon, for the
purpose of nominating candidates for the
office# of President and Vice President of the
United States.
Kacli State is authorized to be represented
in the convention by delegates equal to twiee
the number of Senators and Representatives
to which it will be entitled in the next
National Congress, and each organized Terri-
tory is authorized to send two delegates.
In calling this convention, the committee re-
mind the promises of tho Union Republican
Convention of 1868 have been fulfilled. The
State* lately in rebellion have been restored to
Mieir formsr relations to tho government.
The laws of the country have been faithfully
executed: public raith has been preserved
and tho national credit firmly -ertabliBhjed;
governmental economy has been • illustrated
by the reduction at the same time of the
public debt and taxation,, and the refunding of
the natianal debt at a lower rate of interest'
successfully inagurated. The rights of natur-
alized citizens have been protected by treaties,
and immigration encouraged by liberal pro-
visions. The defenders of- the Union have
been gratefully remembered, and the rights
and interests or labor recognized. Laws have
been enactcd, and are being enforced for the
protection of persons and property in all
sections Equal suffrage has been engrafted on
the National Constitution. The privileges and
immunities of American citizenship have be-
come a part of the organic law, and a liberal
policy has been adopted toward all who engaged
in the, rebellion. Complications in foreign re-
lations have been adjusted in the • interest of
peace, throughout the world; while the
national honor has been maintained, corrup-
tion has been exposed, offenders punished, re-
sponsibility enforced, safeguards established,
and now, as heretofore, the Republican party
stands pledged to- correct all abuses, and carry
out all reforms necessary to maintain the purity
and efficiency of the pnblic service, # To con-
tinue and tirmly establish its fundamental
principles we invite the «fe-operation of all the
citizens of the United States
