It is j'ist each a letter m • shrewd politician would write. While j It oontain* nothing of striking inipor tance, it is father more to the point than , the Chioego platform, to which it beara tlie relation of a supplement. He bet gins by saying that he endorses nearly all of theplatforn adopted by the na tional oonvention of his part;; thas 1 avowing at the outset, that he is ] not entirely in harmony with bia party* ( lie is shrewd enough however, to keep ( silent ti to those points on whieh he ( disagrees with thft platform; and leasee , the party to imagine for iteelf, the par- ' tioulars wheretp he and it disagree. Pol fay wil, dictate silence in regard to those Matter*, fie spells nation with a big N, end draws the issues between B'atfa' rightt on the One hand, and Na tl >nal Supremacy on the other. He is as mueh in favor of a strong govern ment as ever the silent man was. He rays that tlm financial policy of the gov-. ernoMatbehql fefttled, the. question, of flaaneea fa eliminated from the heuee. He towebeetbe Chinese question lightly and throws in a bid far the vote of the FaoMfa dtatea. In regard to the South, he leys that ' the ijfMHst ivilsthat affect thia section arian the fact thot there fa no freedom and toleration of politfaal opin ion. iHe favors uaing the whole power of the govtrnment to bring about a dif ferent state of affairs. Gen. Gerikdd dose net refer to tfiif fact that he was one of the feht>fco deprived the whole ooentry of iia choice of a .president. It OOSMB lit Very bed grace from a man who, was mainly instrumental in Mealing a presidency, to prate about fraoda and sb legality in eleMera. - Gen. / Gai field presents the fames, States' Rights, and Election Fi-and*.

JHafiooolt wao *jail• tst»-\ governor of Lonibiaua aud Texas, Geu. Garfield prophesied his election lo the presidency. The Central Executive Copimittcc have published a supplement to the plan of organization. It makes no material change in the plan of Operation. It will be found elsew'ipre. ' s t> • ,:>t G«n. Hancock's letter of acceptance will appear shoitly. The committed ap pointed by the national convention wait ed on Hanoock Mr. English l*st week, and officially notified I hem of their nomination. » W. H. Barnum has been elected chair man of of ihe national Democratic Com mittee. It is not iiecessary to say that tbff management of the campaign is in good hands. The committee has io creaxed from thirteen to seventeen. Gen, Barringer was a Confederate BOl dier. The Republican* oppose the Dem ocrats because they were rebels and tried to destroy the Union. Gen. Barringer (ought ag.tinst the Uniou, but be is a Republican now. That makes it a horse of an euiireljr different color. Gen. Hancock was one of the most gallant and famous of Union soldiers, lie shed bis blood on the field of batlle to preserve his coun: ry; but ho was a Democrat then, mid is the Democratic candidate for the presidency now; there foie every man who votes for him, is a rebel. This is Republican doctrine. While there Is nothing ia (be way of political excitement in our own- county* |it may be of interest to our readers, to know what our neighbors al Greensboro are doing. We therefore give a partial account ot a ratification meeting held in Greensboro, a week or more ago. We shall refer particularly to the speeches, as nothing else that was done there would be ol Interest to our read •rs. Gen. Scales made in excellent speech 1n which be reviewed the history of the Bouth during the last fifteef years and spoko of the importance of presiden tial elections. Col. Morehead mado one of his own inimitable speeches. L. M. Scott and George H. Gregory made good speeches. We sbonld be glad to give a more Extended hoi ice or all of them,' if our columns were spacious enongb to admit of our doing so. We must con tent ourselves witb reproducing a part of Col. John N. Staples' speech. He commenced by sayiug: - u - My friends: Would you ask me What the great Democratic Convention did at Cincinnati? I answer, it uaraed the next president of tbe United States. Would you ask me whom it la the great Demo cratic party esteemed worthy of tbe bon* or? I answer, it is be, who upon (he field ot batlle was called "the superb," bnt when tbe war ended sheathed his illus trious sword and became a peace-maker. Would you ask me, does he lore the Union? i would point yon to the field ot Gettysburg where bis blood was spilt— that tbe ITuk n m'ght live. Would ask me, does he respect and obey the' constitution? 1 answer in bis own wonls "the great principles of American liber ty alp still the lawfnl inheritance of this people and ever Should be." Tbe eoldier, etalesinau, patriot, the man who said, "notkins: can intimidate me lroiu doiig what 1 believe to be bon est and right," hhe inti> whose ' strong right Jmuhl is placed tbe national -banner oi teaee and brotherhood; and be will eairy it to victory ; that man is Wlufield Scott Hancock, ot Pennsylvania. ■ Whatever i» gloriousiu war,h*loogs to kirn, aud whatever is honorable, gener ous and manly in-peece belongs to dim also: In *ar atAl peace equally Hlastris ous, be la preseuted to tbe American peo* pie as At and capable ot pro. tec ting, inaiutaiuiug aud preserving this union of Statja trom armed revolution on one band and from lusidi >us and daifc gerons attack upon the coustituiiou on tbe other; loyal- to (be Uuion, aud übedi ent to the constitution, beat uiice" chal lenges tbe eonffdenco ot his country men, and the admiratiou ot all lovers ot froa d »m every where.

His deeds of valor in war, his civil adminis tration in peace belong lo history. His life is above reproach, both in private and in public; he is always true,lhe it is whom I say, is worthy the suffrages of American citizens, worthy of tbe high honors ol the Republic. He comes not with the sword to destroy, 'but the song of tho harvest upon his lips; he comes not as an enemy, hut as a friend; he comes not as a despot, but a* a palrU 01, boiying in humble submission to the Constitution of his County and |tl laws, realizing that all sovereignty is of Ihe people. In conclusion, he said: Make Hancock president, and you make "the Union and and the Constitution one and inoperable.' Make Hancock President, and you make the Republic perpetual.
