time the substance Of my reply to the Convention;
land now have the honor to repeat in n more
formal manner, as the occasion Justly demands
that accept the nomination, with the resolutions
annexed.
The political principles and measures laid down
i'm those resolutions are SO broad that but little is
left for me to add. therefore barely suggest, in
this place, that should |, by the partality Of my
lcountrymen be elevated to the Chief Magstracy
sof the Union, | shall be ready, in my connexion
swth Congress, to recommend or to approve Of
ameasures IN regard to the management of the
spunhc domain, so as to secure early settlement
xo the same favorable to actual settlers but con-
Esistent nevertheless, with due regard to the
Scquai rights OF the whole American people in
Athat vast national inheritance; and also to rec
3ommend or approve a single alteration in our
standardization laws, suggested by nv military
E3experlence, VIZ giving to all foreigners the right
tof citizenship who shall faithfully serve. in time
'3of war, one year on board of our public ships, or
Gin our land forces, regular volunteer on their
xrcccving an honorable discharge from the service.
q In regard to the general policy of the admin
;sistraton, if elected. | should, Of course, look
samong those who may approve that policy for
3the agents to carry it into execution; and l
s1should seek to cultivate harmony and fraternal
Sentiments throughout the Wing party, without
4attempting to reduce it's members by proscrip-
5tion, to exact conformity to my own views. But
al should, ct the same time, be rigorous in regard
4to qualifications for office-retaining and ap-
apointng either deficient in capacity or
antegrity, or in devotion to liberty, to the con-
estitution and the Union.
Y Convinced that harmony and goodwill between
Nthe different quarters OF our broad country are
essential to the present and future interests Of
Hthe republic, and with n devotion to those inter
TESTS that can know South and no North, |
Sshoud neither countenance tolerate any
Al
Flaw or the Union, on any pretext, in any part of
( the land and | should carry into the civil ad-
7 cminstraton this one principle of military con-
Sluct--obedience to the legislative and judicial
departments of government, each in its consti-
atutional sphere: saving only, in respect to the
%egslature, the possible resort to the veto power,
Hllways to be most cautiously exercised and under
1.-THE strctest restraints and necessities.
IS Finally, for my adherence to the principles of
the Wing party, rs expressed in the resolutions of
3the Convention and herein suggested, with sin
Etcere aud earnest purpose to advance the great
ssness and happiness Of the republic, and thus to
Scherish and encourage the cause of constitution
;Nal liberty throughout the woodworking every
Ssact and thought that might involve our country
Min an unjust unnecessary war, or impair the
Gfaith of treaties and discountenancing all poti-
Heal agitation injurious to the interests of society
E9and dangerous to the Union-l can offer no other
Epledge or guaranty than the known incidents of
ba long public life, now undergoing the seyerest
Eexamination
q Feeling myself highly fortunate in my asso-
Eciate on the ticket, and with lively sense of
Nmy obligations to the Convention and to your
spersonal courteses, have the honor to remain,
Nsr, with great esteem, your most obedient SER
Evant,
