General FremOnI's letter Of
Acceptance.
New YORK, June 4, 1864.

GENTLEMEN In answer 10 the lot
ter which have hal the honor to
receive from you, on the part Of the
Representatives OF the people Assem-
bled at Cleveland on the 3lot OF May
| desire to express my thanks for the
confidence which led them to offer
me the honorable and difficult posi-
Ition Of their candidate IN the ap-
preaching presidential election; very
honorable, because in Offering it to
me you act in the name of great
number Of citizsus who seek, above
all things, the good OF their country,
and who have no sort OF selfish inter.
e.t in view. Very difficult, becanse
in accepting tue candidacy you pro-
pose to me, | am exposed TO the re
proach of creating schism in the
party with which have been identi-
/ hrd.
Had Mr., Lincoln remained faithful
to the principles he was elected to
defend, no schism could have been
created, and 10 contest could have
been possible. This ia net an ordi-
nary election; it is contest even for
the right to have candidates, and not
merely, us usual, for the choice
among them. Now, for the first time
sinc1 7G, the question of CUnslitn.
tiOual Liberty has been brought di.
roct!y before the people for their 81
rious consideration and vote. The
Ordinary rights SecurOi under the
Constitution aud the laws NJ the
country have been violated, aud ex
trauGdlnsIy powers have been usurped
Oy the executive. 1t is directly be-
fore tue people now to say whether
or Ect the principles established by,
tue revolution are worth maintaining.
Ii, as We have been taught to believe,
those guarantees for liberty, which
made the distinctive value and glory
ot our country, all intrutb inviola5ly
sacred, then there must be protest
against The arbitrary violation, which
had not even the excuse Of necessity.
The schlsm is made by thuss who
force the ch0lce bltween 3 shameful
Isllence Or protest against wrong
In such considerations originated the
ICleve!and Convention.
1t was among It's objects 10 arouse
the attention OF the people to such
facts, and to bring them to realize
that while We are saturating South
ern soil with the best blood OF the
country in the name ot liberty, we
have really parted with it at home.
To day We have in the country the
abuses OF military dictation, without
its unity Ot action and vigor Of execu-
ton; an Administrator marked al
home by Disregard OF constitutional
rights, by. It's violation Of personal
liberty ard the liberty Of the press,
and, as q crOWning shame, bj lts
abandonment oil the right OF asy ylum
dear to all free nations abroad. Its
course has bser characterized BY al
te eeoleness aud want Of principle
which has mlsled European powers
aud driven them TO belief that only
commercial Interests and personal
aims are concerned, and that NO great
principles are involved in the issue.
The admirable conduct Of the peg Jle,
their readiness to make every sacri-
fee demanded of them, their torbear-
ance and silence under the suspension
Of everything that could be suspend
ed, their manly acts Of heroism and
sacrifices, we're all rendered fruit!sss
