But considering all the circumstan- ces under which received it-that 1 did not seek 1t, and was not even present when 1t was bestowed, Gas 1 am informed, ) by the unanimous vote of the convention, immediately after my name was formerly put in nomination. am not allowed to hesitate in accepting it. do so, however, with diffidence and dlstrust; am fully conscious that you might have selected stan- dard- bearer of greater capacity and larger expe- riencc, and can only promise you and those whom you represent, in the absence of higher and more brilliant qualifications, to vindicate if possible, the choice you have made, by my fdel- tyto those great principles which have ever been maintained ssand cherished by our party, and by devotng what capabilities and energies I do possess, to the duties which my nomination has imposed, and the interests that may be commit ted to my charge with zeal and earnestness that shall never falter or grow weary.
 Permit me, gentlemen through you to tender to the delegates my profound acknowledgements for the very distinguished honor they have con- ferred upon me, and accept for yourselves my thanks for the manner in which you have made it known. l am, very truly,

The Performance of the Ericsson

A communication in the New York Courier gives the following particulars in relation to the performance of the Ericsson previous to the unfortunate termination of her recent trial trip:
 "The ship left the dock at Thirteenth street at little before one o'clock. The engineer be- Ing uncertain how long she might be detained III getting out, after discontinuing the workings ot her engines at the dock allowed the fires to get very low; so that when she started she made but seven revolutions per minute. As her fires brghtened her power increased, on that to pas Slng the Battery she made eight turns, and at a distance of five miles beyond her revolutions had reached ten per minute. Her speed n- creased as she progressed, making tinall V twelve turns, and she reached the measured distance Qt eighteen miles from Governors Island. in one hour and 50 minutes, being little less than twelve miles per hour. Going down. the tide was favorable but the wind was strong ahead on the quarter, which nearly counteracted the favorable influence of tide Returning al- though the tide was unfavorable she made twelve miles per hour, passing a measured dis tance of eight miles in precisely forty minutes. Her engines are simply and admirably planned and constructed, worked with extraordinary precision and steadiness, turning the centres so strongly and steady, that the eve could moi detect the least diminution of power. In fact to use an expression which engineers will un- derStand, "She turned most beautiful wheel T The highest working pressure at any one time did not exceed ten pounds per square inch This will he greatly increased by a short al- iteration, about being made in some of the con- meeting pipes which it Is confidently expected will give thirty or forty pounds pressure, oreven more if necessary"
