Cleveland's letter of acceptance ol the nomination for President of the United Stales, tendered him by the National Democratic Con vention: Albany, N. Y., Aug. 18. 1881. Gentlemen I have received your communication dated July 28tb, 1881, informing me of my nomination for the office of President of the United States by the National Democratic Conven tion lately assembled at Chicago. I accept the nomination with "gratelul appreciation of the supreme honor con ferred, and a solemn senso of the res ponsibility which in its acceptance-1 assume. I have carefully considered the platform adopted by the Convention and cordially approve the same. So plain a statement of Democratic faith and principles upon which that arty appeals to the suffrages of. the people, needs uo supplement or explanation. It should be remembered that the office ot President is essentially execu tive iu its Daturc. The laws enacted by the legislative branch of the govern ment the ehiel executive is bound laith 'uliy to enforce ; and when the wisdom ol the political party which selects "one f its menibers as the nominee for that ouice has 'outlined its policy and de clared its principles, it seems. to me that nothing in the character of the othce or the necessities of the case re tire more from the candidate accept tpg such a nomination than the sugges tion nf certain well known truths, so absolutely vital to the safety and wel iarcof the nation that they cannot be too oiten recalled, or too seriously en forced. We proudly call ours a government S the people. It is not such when a !ja?8 B tolerated which arrogates to eif the management of public affairs, riog to control people instead ol ttpresentingthem. 0n , ies are tne natural ou '.-growth ol ";'Dstitntions, but the government is wjtfcy the people when one party fas eas its control upon tie country, and Petuates its power by cajoling and uetn.

VIII. WILMINGTON. N. C. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST holders with a zeal born of the benefits received and lostered by the hope of favors yet to come, stand ready to aid with money and trained political ser vice, we recognize in the eligibility of the President for reelection the-niost serious.danger to that calm, deliberate and intelligent political aefcion which must characterize a government by the people. A true American sentiment-recognizes the dignity of labor, and the fact that honor lies in honest toil. Con tented labor is an element of national prosperity ; I he ability to work consti tutes the capital, and the wage of labor, the income ot the vast number of our population, and this interest should be jealously protected. Our workingmen are not asking unreasonable indulgence, but are intelligent and manly citizens. They seek the same consideration "which thogejdeniand who have other interests at stake. They should re ceive their full share of the care and attention of those who make and exe cute the laws, to the end that the wants and needs of employers and employed shall alike be subserved, and the pros perity of the country, the commou her itage of both, be advanced. As rela ting to this subject, while we should not discourage the immigration of Ihose who ccme to acknowledge allegiance Ld our government and add to our citi zen population, yet. as a means of pro tection to our workingmen, a different rule should . prevail concerning those who. if they come or are brought to our land, do not intend to become Ameri cans, but will injuriously compete with those justly entitled to our field of labor. In my letter accepting the nomina tion to the office of Governor, nearly two years ago, I made the folia sving statement, to which I have steadily adhered: "The laboring classes con stitute the main part of our population. They-should be protected intheifefforts peaceably to assert their lights, when endangered by aggregated capital, and all statutes on this subject should recog nize the care of th"e State, for honest toil, and be trained with the view of improving the condition of the work ingman." A proper regard for the wellare of the workingman being in separably connected with the integrU ty of our institutions, none ot our citi zens are more interested than they in guarding against any corruptive influ ences which seek to pervert the benefi cent purposes of our government, and none should be more watchful ot the artful machinations of t lose who allure them to self-inflicted injury. In a free country the curtailment of the absolute rights of the individual should only be such as is essential to the peace and good order of Ihe community. The limits between proper subjects ot gov ernmental control and thpse which can be more fittingly left to the moral sense and sclf-im posed restraint ot the citizen should be carefully kept in view. Thus, laws unnecessarily interfering with the habits and customs of any of our peo ple which are not offensive to the moral sentiments of the civilized world and which are consistent with good citizen ship and public welfare, are unwise and vexatious. The commerce of a naliou to a great extent determines its s.uprcmaey. Cheap and easy transportation should therelore be liberally fostered within the limits of the Constitution. The general government should so improve and protect its natural water-ways as wiil enablerthe producers of the country to reach profitable markets. The people pay the wages of public employes and they are entitled to fair and honest work which the money thus paid should command. It is the duty of those intrusted with the management of these affairs to see that such public servicQ is forthcoming. The selection and retention of subordinates in gov ernment employment should depend upon their ascertained fitness and the value of their work, and they should be neither expected nor allowed to do questionable party service.. The inter ests of the people will be better protect ed, and public employment will.be open to all who can demonstrate their fitness to enter it. The unseemly scram ble for palce ulnder the "govern ment, with 'the consequent importunity which embitters ofiicial life, will cease, and the public depart ments will not be filled with those who conceive it to be their first duty to aid the party to which they owe the places, instead of rendering patient and honest return to ihe people. I believe that the public temper is such that the voters of the land arc pre pared to support the party which gives the best promise of administering the government in an honest, simple and plain manner; whieh is consistent with its character and purposes. They have learned that mystery and concealment in the managementof their affairs cover tricks and betrayal. The statesmanship they require consists in honesty and frugality, a prompt response to the needs of the people as they arise, and a vigilant protection of all their varied interests. It I should be ealled to the Chief Magistracy ot the Nation by the suf frages of my fellow-citizens. I will as sume the duties of that office with a solemn determination to dedicate every, effort to the country's good, and with humble reliance upon the favor and support of the Supreme Being, whom I believe will always bless honest hu man endeavor in the conscientious dis charge of public duty. Grover Cleveland. Mr. James Gordon Bennett received a most cordial welcome at Newport. Everybody - seemed glad to see him back, says a correspondent, and even the bine eyed stone owls at the gate of his handsome house blinked a ; kindly .welcome. MrT Bennett is immensely Edwin Booth has furnished his New port cottage in' a very cosy and home like manner, and the place, which is near Hanging Rocks, far from the .ash- ion and - lollies of the gay watering place, includes eleven acres tastefully laid out in walks, gardens and lawns. Dr. Tyre York is a braggart and a bully, and we are glad to see that Gen. Scales, acting by and with the advice of the Democratic Executive Committee has made new appointments for Sep tember which do not look to r a joint discussion with the Republican candi date. A list of the appointments as they now stand are published elsewhere. It is asserted by the Portsmouth (N. II.) Chronicle. n independent Republi can paper, that Secretary Chandler's recent operations politically have had the effect to injure Mr. Blaine's pros pects in New Hampshire, as just now Mr. Chandler, with all the patronage at his command, is nt a power in the politics ot the State. At Lenoir, on Monday last, a slight disturbance was caused when Ur. York was speaking, brought on, we under stand, by the intemperate language used by that individual during the dis- cussion. it amounted lo Due little, out yet it was enough to cattse Dr. York to abandon the stand, and refuse to speak longer, notwithstanding the fact that the offenders were arrested by the Mayor, and that the Democrats, as well as a number of Republicans, begged him to proceed. An Amendment. State Senator, Hon. M. W. Offutt, Towson, Maryland, writes: I applied to a severely sprained knee, from which, and from inflammatory rheumatism, I had been suffering for six weeks, St. Jacobs Oil, the great pain-cure, and it not only gae immediate relief to the sprain but it cured me of every symp torn of the rheumatism.

The ars tides are unusually interesting and at tractive, and the presswork and typo graphy can. hardly be excelled.
