I GESTLENEH: have the honor to acknowledge
your personal kindness in presenting to this day
your letter officially informing of my nomination,
by the Democratic National Convention. as a candi-
date for the Presidency Of the United States.
The surprise with which received the intelligence
of the nomination was not unmi1gled with painful
scitude and yet it proper for me to say that the
manner in which it conferred was peculiarly
gratifying. The delegation from New Hampshire
with all the glow Of State pride and all the warmth
of personal gard, would not have submitted nv
name to the convention would they have cast
vote for me- under circumstances other than tho st
which occurred
! shall always cherish with pride and gratitude
the recollection Of the fact that the voice which frs
pronounced, for me-and pronounced alone-came
from the mother of Stasas-a pride and gratitude
rising far above any consequences that betidt
me personally
May not regard it as a fact pointing to the over
throw Of sectional eaiousies ana looking to the per
ennial life and ygor Of Union cemented by the
blood Of those who have passed to their reward-a
