NASHNGTos, Get ?, 1852.

no s,n. I have tie pleasure 10 acknowledge
,,o racei, Of your letter Of Sept 20, informing ne
a., me Convention held at Syracuse On the 2lth Of
liz, moath composed OF men resolved to maintain
tbe INTEGRITY OF tie Uoion, irrespective Of their pre-
yious party associations, Lad done he tie honor oil
placing my name before the electors OF the STATE OF
New-Toik ior the of.cs Of Governor.
Irespeet.uy accept the nomination
Icoruially agree with the Convention in the SEN
.ncuts expressed in their resolutions, and II electeo'
shall zealousiy labor 10 carry ous ihelr wishes as
therein defined.
imsht. perhaps, with Tropriety, stop here, but as
the duties Of my present position VIII not allow NE
10 retuf. 20 NeN-Yogk Tor soIe time, and posi- Oily
not until sfer tie election has ben held, ask your
indulgence While l express briefly my views as 70
the questions involved in the CANVASS.
think Cannot be mistaken in assuming that the
election VIII tam VI Oh the necessity Of sustaining
our National Governmen, in its Efforts to uphold
itself aud maintain territorial integrity, and esle-
cialv upon the Proclamation Of the Presideni Issued
t. that end and referred to ia tie fourth resolution OF
the Convention.
entirely approve Of that Proclamation, and CON-
mend to tie support OF the electors Of Newiork,
ior tie following reasons:
!. L. is al efsctu.l aid to tie speedy and complete
suppression Of tue rebellion.
SIX or eight millions Of whites, having had time 70
organic their government, End their troops, fed
and supported 10y the labor Of iour millions Of slaves,
present the most formidable rebellion recorded III
history.
Strike from this rebellion the support which it de-
rves from the unrequted toll Of these slaves, ana Its
foundation will be undermined
9. II is the most hul4sre method of putting down
the rebellion, tie history Of which bias clearly proved
that the iears Of slave Instructions ami
are entirely uuiounGed. WlIe tic slaves earnestly
desire freedom, they have shown no disposition to
them without wages, tut they will form, throughout
the southern SAFES, the most peaceful and doce
peasentry the face Of the earth.
The SlaveowneTs once compelled to labor for their
own support, tie war must ceose, and It's appalling
carnage come TO On end.
3. Tie emancipation once effected, the Northern
States would be forever relieved az it is night ,ha,
they should be, from tie fears Of a great influx
Of African aborefs disturbing the relations Of those
Northern Industrial classes who have freely gvea
their lives 10 the support Of the Government.
This done, and tie whole African population will
diff: 10 ;he South, where il viii find a oougcnial
einste and vast tlacs Of hand never yet cultivated
forjear to enter into the discussion Of toe great
increase Of trade 10 the Northern States aud the
whole commercial world, which would result from
the wants Of four million. Of free aud paid laborers
over tie same number held heretofore in Slavery.
fOrbear also to enter into The question of the
ultimate vast increase in the production Of the great
Southern staples. This is not tine 10 consider
questions Of profit II will long be remembered, 10
the great honor Of the merchants, bankers, ana |
manufacturers OF the North, tina; giving ne lie to
the calumnies Of saye-breec.ng arstocrats, who .
charge them with being degraded and controlled By
the petty profits Of tr.lic they hive ne, the m.
sacrifices Of this great struggle with cheer
funess aud Promptness OF which history furnishes no
parallel.
Nor Is the question now before rs one Of philar- I
thIopy alone, sacred tie principle therein ~.
VOWED; nor ia il question Of ab,tfaci IDEAS uvoly-
ing an Improbable discussion Of the equality Of
races. II IS simply question Of war, Of National
life or death, and Of the mode il which we can most
surely and ofsctualy uphold our Government and .
Maintain It, unity and supremacy.
Our foreign enemies, for it il DO. TO be disguised
that We have such, Ieproaeh us with waging /
territorial So we do but that territory lie orr
country. For maintaining is greatness and power
among the nations Of the earth, by holding il I
together, they hate us. We can bear that; but if .
we were to yield 10 their eetions and submit 10
It's dipmemberment, they would forever despse us.
This great domain, from the Lakes to the Gulf
from the Atlantic to tue Pacific ono country;
governed by one idea-freedom-is yet destined
70 dictate terms If need be, 10 the world in arn.
and | hold that nan 10 be q traitor and a coward
who, under any defeats, any pressure Of adversely
however grea:, any calamies however dire would
give up one acre OF it.
1t is more than & year since LEFT our State
Great changes have taken plAce within that Pc
Rod. Costly victories and disastrous defeats have,
IN tie vicissi,udes Of war befallen our arms. Be-
rosvements and destitution have oyertaken many
families.
can only judge Of the spirit Of my fellow citi-
Gems Of New-York by that Of her gallant sons who
have rushed 10 the field. These / have seen in
great numbers, and particularly those VINO have been
