i . ' ! I i I 1 ' - V.:- BRIGHT SCRAP. r - . From Blaine's Letter of Acceptance. 8ACKEPXE88 OF THE BALLOT. Tliis survey of our condition as a Nation reminds us tliat material pros- erity in but a mockery if it does no tend to preserve the -liberty of the peo pie. A free ballot isjthe safeguard o republican institutions, without whicl no national! welfare! i.4 assured. A popular election, honestly conducted embodies the verj' majest' of true gov ernment. Ten millions of voters de sire to take part in hc pending eon- test. The safety of the Republic rests uion the integrity of the ballot, upon the security of suffrage to the citizen To deposit a fraudulent vote is no worse a crime against constitutional liberty than to obstruct the deposit ofan honest vote. He who corrupis suffrage strikes at the very root of free . government He is the arch-enemy of the Republic. He forgets that in trampling upon the rights of others he fatally imperils his own rights. j "IJj is a' good land which the Lord our God doth give us," but we can maintain ourj heritage only by guarding with vigilance the source of popular power.

The Re publican districts of ;New-York have been for Blaine for President for ten years, and they are for him when at last he comes before the country fairly. nominated for the great office, with a realizing sense that! they are in the enjoj'ing of a high privilege.

I hold that prosperity of the coun try, depends not on how man great scholars and millionaires we may pro duce, but iOu the prosperity Jf the great producing masses.
