1EcClelIan,s Letter of Acceptance.

Mcglellan's letter OF acceptance has beer
published He sa3s the existence of NOR;
than one Government, over the regica which
once owned our flag, is incompatible With ;hs
peace, happiness and power of the people
AS the preservation: of the Union was the
cole ayoHed object for which tie war was
commenced, it should have been conducted
for that object only and in accordance with
those principles which ! took occasion to de.
clare when in active service. Thus conduc-
ted, the work of reconciliation would have
been easy, and we might have. rcaped the
benefits Of our many victories on land and sea.
The Union was originally formed by the e1-
ercise of q spirit Of conciliation and COM
promise; to restore and preseryeit, the same
spirit must prevail in our councils and in the
hearts of the people. The re-este blisament
Of the Union in all its integrity il. ard must
continue an Indispensable conditinnin any:
settlement. So soon as it IS clear or even,
probable that the present adversaries are
ready for peace upon the basis of Union, we
should exhaust all the resources of ststss-
mauship, prseticed BY civilized nations, and
taught by the traditions of the American
people, consistent with the nonor and inter-
est of the country, to secure suck peace, re-
establish the Union and guarantee for the fu-
ture the constitutional rightscf every State.
Unionis the one condition of peace. We, ask
nc more. When any one State is willing to
return to the Union, i. should be received at
once, with iull guarantee Gifts constitution.

effort to obtain these objects should fail, the

The Lincoln:papers explain the rea
son why ten days furthur grace i
given the people Oh the draft, by the
statement that the Prcsideot made &
mistake. The CoDscription Law
provided that sixty days notice
should be given, but Old Abe mis-
took il for fifty. He never discov.
cred his error until the fifty days was
about expiring. Lincoln very often
mistakes not only the law 8 of Con-
ress, but the Constitution.
