WASHINGTON, May 80, l86O.-Gentle-
men: Your official communication of the
18th inst, informing mo that the repre-
sentatiyes of the Republican party in the
United States assembled at Chicago on
that day had by unanimous vote selected
me as their candidate for the office of
Vice President Of the United States, has
beenreceived together with the resolutions
adopted by the convention as its declara-
ton of principles. Those resolutions
enunclate clearly and forcbly the princi-
piles which unite us and the objects pro-
posed to be accomplished. They address
themselves to all, and there is neither ne
cesslty or propriety in my entering upon
a discussion OF any of them they have
the approval of my judgment and any
action Of mine will be faithfully and cor
daily sustained | am profoundly graf
fled to those with whom it is my pride
and pleasure politically to operate, for
the nomination so Unexpectedly conferr-
ed, and l desire TO tender through YOU
TO the members OF the Convention my
sincere thanks for the confidence thus re-
posed in me. Should the nomination,
which now accept, be ratified by the
people and the duties devolve upon me
of presiding over the Senate of the L nj
ted States, it will be my earnest endeav-
or faithfully to discharge them with u just
regard for the rights of all.
1t is observed in connection with the
doings of the Republican Convention,
that paramount object with us is to pre-
serve the normal condition Of our Terri
torial domain as homes for freemen.-
The able advocate and defender of Re-
publican principles whom YOU have nom
mated for the highest place that can graf
ify the ambition OF man, comes from a
State which has been made what it is by
special action in that respect, OF wise and
good men who founded our Institutions.
The rights OF free labor have there been
vindicated and maintained. The thrift
and enterprise which So distinguish Illi-
nois, one of the most flourishing States OF
the.glorious West, we would see secured
TO all the territories of the Union. and re
store peace and harmony 10 the whole
country by bringing back the Govern.
ment 10 what il was under the wise and
patriotic men who created il. Ii the
Republicans shall succeed in that OBJ
Ject, as they hope to, they will be held
in grateful remembrance by the busy
and teeming millions of the future age.
am very truly yours,
