Dear Sir: It baa bcoorao tny Kreeab!o doty,

oily last CTening, to inform you tbnt you ba
received the nouiioation of that bod; as its cofl
didate fur the office of President of tho United
Slates. .
After frank interchange of sonliment, in
which the merits of all the distinguished candi
dates presented for our consideration were cab
Tossed In the most friendly spirit, the Convention
resolved, with entir unanimity and great enthu
siasm, to place your Dame before the American
people as the chosen representative of its princi
ple of -constitutional liberty and union.
With a just appreciation of your known
moderation and justice; your uniform support of
wise and beoefieont measures of legislation; your
firm aad heroie resistance) cf the repeal of the
Missouri Doasr) rocaiM and all kindred mewir?s
calculated to engender sectional discord; and
your life-long dorotion to the union, harmony aod
prosperity of these States, it was decided with
one accord that you are the man for the crisis,
and that with your honored name inscribed on

tne people to rauy ior tne preservation oi our
nationaf institutions. Wa feel, one snd all, that

that distinguished and patriotic body. Uut for full and accurate statements of tho different sub
convenience, and under a enso of tho propriety ; jects to be enumerated ; and as the work is o large
of acting in so grave a maticr with greater de-; one, and the time alluKed fur i:s completion short,

ty of tha motives and the. lofty spirit of patriot- j What is the profession, occupation, or trade of
uu by which the Uonvenlion was animated, as
evinced in all its proceedings, I can nppreciuto
more justly tho honor done me by the nomina
tion ; and, though it mignt have been moro lur
tunate for tha country had it fallen upon some
on of the many distinguished stattaoicn whose
tames were brought to the notice of the Conven
tion, rather than myself, I accept it, with all its
possible responsibilities.
Whatever may be tho issue of tho ensuing
canvass; as for myself I shall ever regard it as
a proud distinction one worth a life long effort
to attain to be pronounced worthy to receive the
highest office in the Government at such a time
as the present, and by sucb a Convention as that
which recently met in Baltimore a Convention
far less imposing by the number of its members,
large as it was, than by their character. In it
were men venerable alike for their age and their
public service, who could not have been called
from their voluntary retirement from public lifo
but by the strongest sense of patiiutio duty;
others, though still in the prime of life, ranking
with the first men of tho country by honors and
distinctions already acquired in high official posi
tions, State and National; many of them -states
men worthy to Ell tho highest oliico ,ia the uov-
rnment; a still greater number occupying t ue
highest rank ialheir re8r.ecti.vo professional pur-
iuitsjotheredistinguisiiedbytlieirinteliigcnTSand
well-earned influence in various wains ot private
life: and all animated and united bv one spirit and
one purpose, theresultof a strong conviction that
our political system, under tho operation of a
complication of disorders, is rapidly approaching
crisis when a speedy chancre must t:.i;e place,
indicating, as in disoases of the physical body, rer
oovcry or death. , .
The Convention, in discarding the use of plat
forms, exacts no pledges from those whom they
deem worthy of the hrgbcsttrnstj under the Gov-t
eminent ; wisely considering that tne surest guar
anty of a man's future usefulness and fidelity to
the great interests of the country, in any official
station to which he may b& chosen, iB to be found
in his past history connected with the public ser
vice. The pledge implied in my acceptance of
tha nomination of the National Union Conven
tion is, that should I bo elected, I will not de

The Consehvative Vote.-Tho ticket put

called to the Chair.
It buine ceuernlly known that tho object of tho
call of the mcctinaVasfortho P....
an address from North Carolina's most distinguiJi -
cd son, the Hon. George 11. Badger, ono'of ho
Opposition Klectors for tho Statoat largo, on the
pending questions of the day, the Court llouso
Major II. W. Husted mado a few humorous ro -
marks by way of introducing tho distinguished
gcntlcn.an to tlio audience, stating that bo had
seen it in priBt thot Mr. Badger would not dure
.i. l r Ti ... i. ..iiii
tomeetbiacompeutor before the people, and that
the Club bad uke4Mr.il to appear undct th?!r
protection, so that it might be ascertained wheth-
er be could venture to risk himself in public dc -
bate.
' Mr. Badger arose, and after thanking Major
Husted for the flattering terms in which he had
been pleased to call him up, and briefly referring,
in a humorous mariner, to tbo remark of a Demo
cratic journal that he wuuld not meet Mr. Hay
wood, one of tho Democratic Elector's for tho
State ut large, on the stump, he proceeded lo say
that bo appeared before that audience upon an
intimation that the Wako County Ad Valorem
Club desired to'hear him upon the peuding ques
tiomr of tho-dar: Evcrrif be- had-felt at liberty
to do so, he was not disposed to decline tho call.
We pave, said Mr. 11 , two important questions
now before us, demanding our earnest considera
tion : Ono directly pressing upon tho country;
and the other of the highest importance to Our
State and her people, viz : the subject of so alter
ing our Constitution as to permit the Legislature
to taxflie prdpcrtyof flic i peupTe'oT thTFTtaTe upon"
tho ad valorem system.
The pending question before tho country is that
of the election of a l'rcsidcntof tho United States.
This country is now in a situation in which it never
beforo was'placed. W? have but two National
candidates before the country fur the cialtcd of
fices of President and Vica President. Lincoln
and the party that nomiuuted him, cannot be
called National they are sectional. With re
gard to my Democratic fcllow-citizcr.s, said Mr.
B., their party is shattered to pieces, arid is, iu
my opinion, totally unable to re unite. But the
people of thoUnitod States have now before them
the names of two men distinguished for their
statesmanship, conservatism and patriotism I
allude to John Bell, of Tennessee, aud Edward
Everett, of Massachusetts. (Applause.) He
felt called uoon especially to say a word in refer
ence to that nomination, because, as one of the
Opposition Klectors lor the btate at large, it bad

Mr. L'ai ringer (periling.) You bare not

I said that Mr. Ewrott was both a scholar and
a statesman, but more of a scholar thuu a states
man. Mr. Badger The pontleman nikdit lnvc aid .
that in his speech, but be did nut say it t-r mo;
and several gentlemen who heard his speech have
tuld mo that they did not hear him say it then.
(Applause ) Ho found Ins - Democratic friend
very hard to please, and particularly those who
had of Into left our party und joined the Demo

nothing we could do. lie thought it was tho
best j.'ikeof the campaign1 pr anybody to attempt

man. Everett was not- only an onitor, sage, pa
triot, but a statesman, too. llo has sufficient
statesmanship to govern this country in such a
manner as to "restore it to peace and happiness.
(Loud nppluu?c.)
Mr, B. had felt bound lo say this much on
National affairs. Our Democratic friends had
held their Convention, at. Charleston, but what
was the- result? They had disagreed upon a
platform, - portion of tho members had se,-.
ceded, and they had finally broken, up, ono por
tion to meet again at Baltimore and the other at
Richmond. We can't tell what they will do.
Mr. Randolph had once made a very severe re
mark about the cohesive power of the "five
loaves aid two small fhhei" with the Demo
crats; jiut it was now "doubtful whether that
power even could Lave the effect of re uniting
them. Ho didu't think thc-y could get together

so far as to threaten to bold a Ccnvention'theni

the East was willing or not. In sovortrr !-
causes operated to induce the K.ts-tto agree to tho
callinc of a Convention. The ) est could not
have called the Convention without the consent of
the East. The Cjnvcntion was called for a speci
