MIR. Tod's Letter Of Acceptance.

In Mr. Tod's letter, accepting the FUSION
nomination for Governor, he speaks as follows:
without going into discussion of the cir
cumstances and events which have brought a.
bout the present alarming and unhappy condi-
ton Of our national affairs, as these must now
be apparent to all, | will content myself by say
ing that the issue presented to us as pNoplc in
the sanguinary struggle forced upon Us bv the
ambitious and designing leaders Of the South
ern rebellion is that of mans capacity for self
government. The whole question to be tried
and settled-set'led in such wav that nothing
in human power can ever disturb or change it
again-Is then, "Whether man is capable 0l
governing himself" Should it not be shown
when every resource and sacrifice has been
made and would exhaust every means in our
power first ere yielding, then in order that we
might have our rights protected and our liber-
ties preserved in some degree approaching the
perfection of our hitherto supposed impregna-
ble system Of free government, | WOULD
CONSENT 10 BE TAKEN UNDER THE
PROTECTION OF OUR ONCE SOCIAL
ED MOTHER COUNTRY, Or OF ANY
OTHEts POWER CAPABLE OF
MAINTAINING FOR Us THE RESPECT
OF THE NATIONS OF TIF EARTH"
