As foreshadowed inlthe,v(rb il re A marks made by me at - the' time of rtue delivery! of your letter, I have H i now to say that I accept the ; high 1 trust with -a, realizing; sense! of Us responsibilities, and am profoundly grateful for the honor confered. a;cept the no.ninn.tion upon the plat- " form of principles adopted by the . mr ' mrnmm-- '' ' convention, wmcn1 1 candidly ap- prove, and I accept it quite as much - because of my faith in, the wisdom . and patriotism of the great states , man and soldier nominated on the same ticket for President of the United. States. His eminent er i vices to his eountry; his fidelity to the Constitution, Union' and laws; - his clear perception ; of correct prin ciples of government as tauirht by i Jefferson;' his scrupulous care to keep the military in strict subordi L nation to ' the civil authorities; : his high regard; for civil liberty, ' personal rights and the rlsriits of - propert'; his acknowledged ability in civil as well as military affairs, and his pure and blameless life; all point to him as a man worthy of the confidence of the people. Not only a brave soldier, a great commander, vvistf'statesnmn and pure patriot but ;i prudent, painstakinsr, practical man of unquestioned ' honesty, trusted often with important public duties, faithful to every trust and in the full meridian of a ripe and vig orous manhood, he I is, in my judg ment, eminently fitted for the high est position and trust the Presi dency of the. United States. Not only is ho the right man for the mace, but tiie time ha3 come ' i - . : when the best iuterests of the count ry require that the party which has monopolized jthe 'executive depart ment of the general government for the last twenty years, should be retired. The continuance of that party in power four years longer would not be beneficial tot'ie public. or in accordance with the spirit lof our republican r institutions. - The laws of entail have not been favor ed in our S3'stem of government; the perpetuation of property or place in one family or! set of men has never been eneonraired in this country, and the great audigood men -who forirjed our republican J government land jits tralitious wise! limited the tcuure f office, and in many ways showed their' disapproval of long terms of power. Twenty 'years of continuous power is long enough, and,vhas al ready led to iirreguiaritieec and ,cpr--ruptions which' are not , likely -'to ;jbe properly exposed -tinder the same party (hat perpetrated them . Be- ides it should uot he forgptten that the four lalt y eaf sLf jpbrer held by S of eelf-covernment nevit be forgotten or- forgiven. .Many of the men hqw in office? were put there because "joCcouup j?fea&8CTvicej in" thus, defeating the fairly and leg it ey expressed will of the majority and, the Ibypcrisy of the professions of that party in favor of civil ser vice reform . was shown ; by placing sucKmen in office and turning the whole brood ot Federal officeholders looserto influence elections. ,TBeJ money of the people- t iken out of the public treasury hy these hien for services often poorly per- Formed, or not penormea at an, is being used in vast sums with the knpVyledged'and presumed sanction nf th jidministration. to contest elections, aud 1 even members of the Cabinet are strolling about" the country making partisan speeches instead of being in their departments at AYashington disch.argiqg the pub lic duties for which they are paid by Ihi people. But wi thrall their clev erness and ability a discriminating public 1 will no doubt read ' between the lines of their speeches that their paramount hope and aim is to keep themselves or fheirf satellites tour years longer in office.. . That per petuating the power of chronic federal officeholders four years louder will not benefit' the millions of men and women who hold no office, but earn their daily bread by honest industry r is what the same discerning public will no doubt fully understand, as they will also that it is because of their own in dustry ' and economy and God's bountiful harvests that the country is comparatively prosperous, and not because of anything done by these federal officehol JersjThe co"ntry is comparatively prosperous not be cause of them, butJipite of them. This contest is, fli'fact, between the people endeavoring to regain the political power which rightfully be long to them, and to restore the pure, pimple, economical, constitutional government ot bur fathers on one side, and a hundred thousand office holders and their backers, pamper ed with place and power; and deter mined to retain them at al haz ards, on the other. Hence, the con stant assumption of new and danger ous powers by the general govern ment under the rule of the Kepubli can party; the effort to build up what they call a strong government; the interference with home rule and with the administration of justice in the courts of the soveral States; the interference with elections through the medium of paid partisan federal officeholders interested in keeping their , party in power and caring niore for that than for fairness in elections. In fact, the constant encroachments which have been made by that party upon the clearly reserved rights of '. the people and the States will, if not checked, sub vert the" liberties of the people and the government 01 limited powers created by the ' fathers, and end in a great consolidated central govern ment;; strong, indeed, out for evil and the overthrow institutions. of republican The wise men vrho, formed our con stitution knew the evils of a strong government and a Ion- continuance , . . ,;. , T . , ui puniiciii i-una tu tiiua.uuc mims. They knew there was a tendency in thisdirection- in all governments, and the consequent danger to repub lican institutions from that cause, and took pains to guard against it. Tiie machinery of a'strong central ized general government, can 'be used to perpetuate the same set ; of men in power from term to term.im tiiit ceases to bo a republic, or; is enr voter land to car system self-frovernment which should ne fested by a I :irge namb;ror tnat uaxtv to elect n, President an un.im-v ltea Duuiuer oi i,tri.iis uiw Muai thinkimr oeonle that 'the time has come-when it willl be safest and best fori that party td Jt retired!

It is acquiesced in every where now, and finally and forever settled as one of the results of the war. . ., : It is certain beyond all question that th.i legitimate results of the war tor the Union will not be over thrown or impaired should the Dem- event proper protection wjiu be giv en m every legitimate wav to every citizen, native, or adopted, in every section of. the liepublic, in -the en iovment of all tho rights guaranteed tv the constitution and: its amend- ments. : - ; A Bound currency of - honest money, of value and purchasing power corresponding substantially with the standard recognized by the commercial world, and consisting of gold and silver aud paper conver- .... -ll l.- 'L J. tioie niLo com, wm oe - maiuuiiueu; labor, and. the manutacturing, com mercial and business interest of the country will be ' favored and en couraged in every 'legitimate, way; the toiling, millions of our own peo ple will be protected from the de- strucuve competition oi uie .vnmese. and to tliat end their immigration to our shores will be properly ; restrict ed-; the public credit will be scrupu lously maintained and strengthened by rigid 'economy in the public ex penditures, and the liberties of the people and the property of the peo ple will be protected by a govern ment of law and order, administered strictly in the interest of all- the peo ple, and not of corporations and privileged classes, j . I do not doubt the discriminating justice of the people and their capac ity for intelligent self-government, and, therefore, do nof dejubt the suc cess or the Democratic ticket, 'its success would burv hevond resurrec tion, sectional iealousies aud hatreds i .. . . i .u i.:.. waicn nave so long ueen uiu ciiici stock in trade of pestiferous dema- gogues, ana m no otner way can tuis be so effectually accomplished- It would restore harm ony :: and good feeling between "all sections, and make us in lac fas well as m name.
