WI ""chanan's Acceptance Of Gin
Cinnati Nomination.
PniLApELpHia, June 10.

. PuiLApklrHiA June 10.
Mr. bnchanan's letter of acceptance was published
this morning
A'ef expressing the qualification entertained al
'he highest political honor which could be conferred
upon him. he sayshe is deeply sensible of the vast
anu varied responsibilities, especially at the present
CRISIS lie has carefully reirnined from seeking the
nomination either 10y word or deed and accents I,
WIN dlhdence trusting II elected to be able to al-
lay domestic strife, preserve pence and friendship
with foreign nations and promote the best interests
OF the republic In accepting the nomination, he ac-
eeps II IN the spirit of the PLATFORM and will confne
h'nseli TO II throughout the canvass believing he
u"s no fish' by answering nerrogatons, to present
new and different issues before the people lie cor
u'l'y ooncurs in the sentiments of the platform
relating 10 civil and religious liberty and slavery aud
'h'hAs the latter question rapidly approaching A.
hai'ty The Kansas net does more than give force
Oh INV TO the elementary principles of selfgovern-
ment.
May we not hope, he says that il is tho mission of
the democratic party, now the only surviving con
seryatve party of the country to overthrow I'LL Sec
non"l parties, restore peace, friendship and mutual
confidence among all the members of the con-
iederacy--thc foe of all geographical parties IL
constitution or Union to preserve. This conyic-
uon has induced many, formerly differing from the
Democracy to devote themselves TO the Constitution
and the Union. Under these circumstances he most
cheerfuly pledges himself should tho nomination of
the Convention be ratified by the people that all the
powermd influence eonstitutionay possessed by the
Executive shall be cxerted in firm and conciliatory
spirit during the single term of his remnininp In
Office, to restore the harmony among the sis
ter States, which prevailed before the apple of dis
cord IN the form of slavery agitation, had been east
into their midst.
Regarding our foreign policy, he concurs with tho
committee, that IL should be conducted with wisdom
and irmnoss to assure the prosperity of the people
at home, while the interest and honor of the country
are wisely and inilcxibly maintained abroad A for
egn policy ought to be based upon the principle
OF doing justice to NIL nations and requiring Justice
IN retnrn-if elected hewil use his best exerons to
cultivate peace and friendship with all nations, be-
liering it the hest policy md the highest and most
imperative duty-hut he shall never forget should
the necessity arise that national honor must be
preserved nj all hazards aud ut any sacrifice
