The Sovcn Wonder* of the World.
. ^ . #,. ,'V-1 ¡, ,
Although every school boy and girl
in tlio land linve read of the "seven
wonders of the world," and every per
son of any intelligence lias either read
or heard of theiu, the New York atar
thinks that ninety-nine persons out of
a hundred who might be asked the
question could uot name them. They
arc the pyramids, the mystery of the
past, the enigma of the pvesont, and
the enduring for the future ages of (his
world. The temple, the walls and
hanging gardens of Babylon, the most
celebrated city of Assyria, and the resi-
dence of the kings of the country after
tiie destruction of Ninevnh. The Chrys
elephantine statue of Jupiter Olympus,
the most renowned work of Phidoas,
the illustrious artist of Oreeco. The
statue was formed of gold, nnd was
sitting on a throne almost touching
the summit of the temple, which was
seventy feet high. The Temple of l)i
ana, at Ephesus, which was 220 years
iu building, and which was 425 feet in
length and 220 iu breudth, and sup-
f orted by 127 marble columns of the
ooio order, 00 feet high. The inauso
leum at Uulicarnnssus, erected iu the
memory of Mausolius, the king of Ca
ria, by his wife Artemesia, B, 0. 353.
The Pharos at Alexandria, a light
house erected by Ptolemy Soter at the
en tranco of the harbor of Alexandria.
It was '150,feet high, and could bo seen
at a diRtiarjce of a hundred miles, jind
upon which was inscribed "King Ptol-
omy to the gods, the saviors, for'the
benefit of sailors." Lastly the Colos-
sus at Rhodes, a brazen image of Apol-
lo, 105 Grecian feet in height, and
which was located at the entrance of
one of the harborsol'the city of Rhodes.

ot Philadelphia the 6th and 6th days of
J dim, 1WJ, <^oiu deeluree its faith, appeals to
it history, aad announces its position npou

comed all who proved loyalty by obeying the

It has steadily decreased with a tirm hand the

Tho Pacific railroad and similiur vast enter-

of tho liaturali/.cil citizen's rights secured
from Kurojiean Powers. A uniform national
currency has been provided, repudiation
frowned down, the national credit sustained
tiudcr the most extraordinary burdens, and
new bonds negotiated at lower rates. The

peacefully and liouorably .immposad, uml the
honor anil power of the nation kept iu high
ii'spect, throughout the world. This glorious
record of the past is t,bo party's best pledge
for tho future, wo believe the people will
not, entrust, tho Government to any party or
combination of men composed chiefly of those
who have resisted every step of this bcueiiccut
progress.
ad. Tlio rpcent amendments to tho national
Coustitiitiou should bo cordially sustained be-
cause they aro right, not merely tolerated
hccuuso they are laws, and should ho carried
out according to their spirit by appropriate
legislation, the enforcement of which can
safely be entrusted only to .the party that
secured those amendments, ■
3rd. Complete liberty nuil exact nquulity
in tho enjoyment of all civil, political, and
public rights should be established and effect-
ually maintained throughout tho Union In-
efficient nml appropriate State and Federal
legislation. Neither the law nor its udmlnis-
tration should admit uny discrimination in
respect of citizens by reuson of race, creed,
color, or previous condition of servitude.
4th. Tlio National Government should seek
to muintuiu honorable peace with all nations,
protecting, its citizens everywhere, and sym-
pathizing with ull peoples who strive 1'or
greater liberty.
5th. Any system of the civil servleo under
which tho subordinate positions of-the Gov-
ernment aro considered a reward formero pur-
ty mil, is f'ltully demoralizing, nnd we there-
fore favor a reform ot the system bylaws which
shall abolish tho evils of patronage and make
honesty, efficiency and fidelity essential quali-
fications for public positions, with practically
creating a life tcuujcu of office,
0th. We ure opnoscd to the further grants of
the publiu lands to corporal,iouii and monopo-
lies, and demand that the national domain bo
set apurt for free homes for the people.
7tll. Tho annual revenue, after paying tho
current debt, should furnish a moderate bal-
ance for the reduction of tiie principal, and tiie
revenue, except so much as may be derived
from a tax upon tobacco ami liquors be raised
by duties which should be su mounted as to
aid in securing remunerative wages to labor
mid promoto tlio industry uud prosperity of
the whole country.
8th. We hold in undying honor the soldiers
and sailors whose valor saved the Union.
Their pensions are a sacred debt of tho nation,
and tho widows und orphans ot those who
died for their country nreeutitled tothe cure of
a generous and griiteful people. We favor such
additional legislation, as will extend tiie
bounty of the Government to all our soldiers
uml sailors who were honorably discharged,,
and who in time of duty becamo disused,

Hhare of iiiiitiiul profits fortheBO two great ser-
vants of eivilizutlou.
12th. Wo hold that Congress and tho Pres-
ident have only fulfilled au imperative duty in
their measures for tho suppression ofviolont
uml treasonable organizations iu certain of the
late rebellious regions, uud for tho protection
ol'the bullot box ; and that therefore they are
entitled to tho thanks of tho nation.

crime. We witness with pride tho reduction
of f lie principal of the debt, mid the rates of In-
terest upon the balance and confidently cx-
Iioct that our excellent National currency will

14th. Tho llcnubllcan party is mindful of its
obligations to the loyal women of America for
their noble devotion to t,ho cause of freedom.
Their udmission into wide ileitis of usefulness
is viewed with satisfaction, und the honest de-
mands of any class of citizens for additional
