hem that their labors and the sacrifice of
TO many of our slain and wounded breth-
en- had been in vain; that we had aban-
doned that Union for which we have so
often periled our lives. 't' p5
A vast majority of our people. whether
of the, army and navy or at home, would,
in 1 would, hail with unbounded joy the
permanent restoration of peace, on the
basis of the Union under the Constitution,
without the effusion of another drop of
blood. But no peace can be made per-
manart without Union.
As to the other subjects presented in
the resolutions of the convention, l need
only say that I should seek in the Consti-
tuition of the United States, and the laws
framed in accordance Herewith, the rule
of my duty, and the limitations of execu-
tive power; endeavor to restore economy
in public expenditure, re-establish the su-
premacy flaw, and, by the assertion of a
more vigorous nationality, resume our
commanding position among tho nations
of the earth.
The condition of our finances, the de-
probation of the paper money, and the
burdens thereby imposed on labor and
capital. show the necessity Of a return to
sound financial system: whilst the rights
of citizens and the rights of states. ana
the binding authority of law over Presi-
dent, army, and people, are subjects of
not less vital importance in war than in
peace.
Believing that the views here express
ed are those of the convention and the
people you represent, 1 accept the nomi-
nation.
Irealize the weight of the responsible
ty to be borne should the people ratify
your choice
Conscious of my own weakness, 1 can
only seek fervently the guidance of the
Ruler of the Universe, and, relying on
His all powerful aid. do my best to re-
store Union and peace to a suffering peo-
pie, and establish and guard their hber
ties and rights.

Your obedient servant,

iment of war, during which, under the

Constitution itself has been disregarded
in every part, and public liberty and pri-
waite right alike trodden down and the

TALLY impaired-justice, humanity, liber-
ty, and the public welfare demand that
immediate efforts be made for a cessation
Of hostilities, with a view to an ultimate
convention of the States, or other peace
able means, to the end that at the earliest
practicable moment peace may be restor-
ed on the basis of the Federal Union of
the States.
Resolved, That the direct Interference
of the military authorities of the United
States lin the recent elections held in
Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and Della
ware, was a sbameful violation of the
3Censtitution; and a repetition of such acts
in, the approaching election will be held
as revolutionary, and resisted with all the
means and power under our control.
Resolced, That the aim and object o
the Democratic party is to preserve the
Federal Union aud the rights of the
States ~unimpaired; and they hereby de-
clare that they consider that the admins
trative usurpation of extraordinary and
dangerous powers not granted by the
Constitution; the subversicn of the civil
by military law in States not in insurrec-
ton; the arbitrary military arrest, impri-
sonment, trial and sentence of American
citizens in States where civil law exists in
full force; the suppression OF freedom OF
speech and of the press; the denial of the
rightio of asylum; the open and avowed dis
regard of State rights; the employment
of unusual test oaths; and the interior
renee with and denialof the right of the
people to bear arms in their defense, is
calculated to prevent a restoration of the
Union, and the p~erpetuation of q govern
ment deriving its just powers from tie
consent of the governed.
Resolped, That the shameful disregard
of the ADMINISTRATOR to its duty, in re-
spect to our fellow-citizens who now are,
and long have been, prisoners of war in a
suffering condition, deserves the severest
Reproduction On the score alike of public
policy and common humanity.
Resolved, That the sympathy of the
Democratic party is heartily and earnestly
extended to the soldiery of our army and
sailors of our navy, who are and have
been, in the fele and on the sea, under
the flag of their country; and, in the
event of its attaining power, they will re-
eeive all care, protection, and regard that
the brave soldiers and sailors of the Re-
public have so nobly earned.

81. ORANGE, New JERSEY, Sept. s.
GENTLEMEN: 1 have the honor to ao-
knowledge the receipt of your letter in
forming me of my nomination by the
Democratic National Convention, recently
assembled at Chicago, as their candidate
at the next election for President of the
United States.
It. is unnecessary for me to say to you
that the nomination m to me un-
sought.
Z am happy to know that when the
nomination was made the record of my
public life was kept in view.
The effect Of long and varied service in
the army, during war and peace, has
been to strengthen and make indellible in
my mind and heart the love and rever-
ence for the Constitution, laws and flag
OF our country impressed upon me in my
early youth.
These feelings have thus far guided
the course of my life, and must continue
to do so to its end.
The existence of more than one govern
e ment oversthe region which once owned
our flag is incompatible with the peace,
the power, and the happiness of the peo-
pie.
iThe,preservation of our Union was the
), cole ayowed object for'which the war was
izcommenced. 1t should nave been con-
-.dneted for that object only, and in accord
ance with those principles which l took
occasion to declare when in active service.
sf Thus conducted, the work of reconcil-
. iation would have been easy, and we
might have reaped the benefit of our
many victories on land and sea-
The Union was originally formed by
the exercise of a spirit of cancellation and
compromise. To restore and preserve it,
. tina came spirit must pravail in our coun-
oils, and in the hearts of the people.
The re-establishment Of the Union in
all It's Integrity is, and must continue to
be, the indispensable condition in any set
element. So soon as it is clear, or even
probable, that our present adversriss are
ready for peace, upon the basis of the
Union, we should exhaust all the resour-
ees of craftsmanship practiced by civil
lied nations, and taught by the traditions
of the American people, consistent with
the honor and interests of the country, to
secure such peace re establish the Union
snd garunte for the future the constitu-
aionaI rights of every State. The Union
is the one condition of peace Q ask no
more. r'e1. asa es5 . 3Fla a
RS Let me add what doubt not was. al.
though unexpressed, the sentiment of the
Convention, as it is of the people they
represent, that when any one State is viii.
ling TO return to the Union, it should be

all its constitutional rights.
