BLACKwooD's MAGAZINE.-Blackwood for July
has been laid upon our table," by Mr. Wood
house, the agent for the American reprint Of this
and various English magazines. In this No. of
Blackwood there is an article on 1.-THE dispute
with America" in which the venerable monthly
deals out some of its sharpest indignation upon
the model Republic. We called attention . short
time since to very remarkable article in the June
No. of Blackw wood, in which there was argu.
ment to show that there was contest going on in
Europe between Despotism and Constitutional
Government, that would result in . combination
between nearly all the Powers of the continen
against Great Britain, who would then have to
look to the United States her natural and relia
bic ally. Blackwood reasoned very logically and
with good deal of political sagaeity to show the
force Of these conclusions and the tone of its re-.
marks about the United States was kind and re.
spectful. 1t was indeed more liberal to us than
we had ever known it to be, and paid US the high
est compliment it could pay, in admitting our PEG.

Frsmont's Letter of Acceptance.

New YORK, Jtiy 8, 1876.
GENTLEMEN: You call me to high respon-
sibiity by placing me in the van Of great
movement of the people of the United States,
who, without regard to past differences, are
uniting in q common effort TO bring back the
action of the Federal Government 10 the prin.
ciples of Washington and Jefferson, Compre
hending the magnitude of the TRUST which they
have declared themselves willing to place in my
bands, and deeply sensible of the honor which
their unreserved confidence in this threatening
position of the public affairs implies, feel that
! cannot better respond than by a sincere dec.
laration, that, in the event of my election to
the Presidency, ! should enter upon the execo.
ton of its duties with a single.hearted determi.
nation to promote the good of the whole country,
and to direct solely to this end all the power of
the Government, irrespective of party issues,
and regardless Of sectional strifes. The decla-
ration of principles embodied in the resolves Of
your Convention expresses the sentiments in
which have been educated, and which have
been ripened into convictions by personal OBJ
servation and experience. With this decara-
ton and avowal, think it necessary to revert
to only two Of the subjects embraced in those
resolutions, and TO these only, because events
have surrounded them with grave and critical
circumstances, and given to them especial i'm,
portance.
concur in the views of the Convention, dep.
recating the foreign policy to which it adverts.
The assumption that We have . right to take
from another nation its domains, because we
want them, is an abandonment Of the honest
character which our country has acquired. To
provoke hostilities by unjust assumption, would
be 10 sacrifice the peace and character of the
country, when all its interests might be more
certainly secured, and its objects attained, by
reputation. International embarrassments are
mainly the result of q secret diplomacy, which
aims to keep FROM the knowledge OF the people
the operations of the Government. This ssstam

tee In relation to Union electoral ticket, was
read, for the information of the Convention.
Those parts of the address referring to Mr.. San.

conclusion of the reading of the address, there
| was great applause.
Dispatches were received and read from
Allentown, pledging the delegates from Lehigh
to fusion electoral ticket and also from Phil
adelphia, announcing the intention of the Amer
lean party to denounce and repudiate Mr.. San

ed the Hon. Lemuel Todd, of Cumberland
Ia Fillmore man, for President, with full list
of Vice Presidents and Secretaries.
The nomination was unanimously endorsed
by the Convention, and Mr.. Todd, on taking
the chair, made brief aud eloquent speech.
A committee of one from each Congressiona
district was then appointed to name an electo
raj ticket. After some time, the committee re
turned, and reported to the Convention the
ticket agreed upon by the Union Committee on
Friday last, which was unanimously ratified by
the Convention.
A resolution was then adopted, pledging the
Convention to the support Of the ticket, on the
basis heretofore published of the division of the

more and Fremont, respectively.

When it became evident that the "Kansas:

Kansas with the determination to establish a
paper devoted to the development of another
great Stale. After every expense and delay.
we succeeded in getting it in operation about
the first Of Jauusrv, 1855, with Mr.. n G e.
lott as partner. We named it the Kansas
Free State" and stated in our first Issue ouf
determination to conduct it until Kansas was
admitted into the Union, Free State. We
incurred every possible expense and dificury
for the space Of eighteen months, and were the
first, 80 far as we can learn, who boisted the
name Of yoHN c. FREMONT for the Presidency
You all know the result. For this act, and f,l
opposing in liberal way the usurpations o.
the Slave Power in subduing Kansas, our en-
