Mr.. President: The National Convention

ted committee consisting of one from each
State, and myself as chairman, to inform you
of your unanimous nomination by that Couven-
tion for President. That committee, have the
honor to inform you, is present. On its behalf
have the honor to present you with copy Of
the resolutions Or platform adopted by that Con-
vention, as expressive of its sense and the sense
of the country which it represents, of the prin-
cipes and policy that should characterize the
Administration in the present condition of Con
the country. need not say to you that the
vention, in thus unanimously nominating you,
gave uttcrauce tn the almost universal voice
of the people of the country. To doubt your
election would be little short of abandoning
the hope Of a final suppression of the rebellion,
and the restoration of the Government. Neither
the Convention nor those represented by that
body, entertained any doubt as to the final re
suit under your administration, sustained by
the loyal people and by our noble army and
gallant navy. Neitherdd the Convention, nor
do this Committee, doubt the speedy suppress
sion of this most wicked and unprovoked rebel
lion. A copy of the resolutions was here han
ded to the Presidentl would add, Mr.. Pres
ident, that it would be the pleasure of the com
mitee to communicate to you within few days
through one of it's most accomplished members
Mr.. Curtiss, by letter, at more length the cir
cumstances under which you have been placed
by the nomination for the Presidency.
REPLY OF THE PRESIDENT.
The President said: Mr.. Chairman and Gen
tlenen of the Committed will neither con
ceal my qualification nor restrain the expression
of my gratitude, that the Union people through
their Convention, in the continued effort to save
and advance the Nation, have deemed me moi
unworthy to remain in my present POSITION
know no reason to doubt that ] shall aceep
the nomination rendered, and yet, perhaps,
should not declare definitely before reading anC
considering what is called the platform. vii
say now, however; that approve the deciara
tion in favor Of so amending the Constitution
as to prohibit slavery throughout the nation
When the people N revolt, with the hundred
days explicit notice that they could within
those days resume their allegiance without tn
overthrow of their institutions, and tSat the,
could net resume ii afterward, elected to s,;sn'
out such an amendment to the Constitution u
now proposed, became a fitting aud necessar,
conclusion for the success of the Union cause
Such alone can meet and cover all eavls,
now preceive its Importance and embraeeit' j
the Joint names of Liberty and Union, let us Ia
ber to give it legal form and practical effect.
At the conclusion Of the Presidents speech
all of the Committee shook him cordially b.
the hand and off,r9d their personal congra'
ulations.
