FREMONTs ACCEPTANCE.

New YORK, Juno 6.
A long letter from Fremont, accepting
the nomination, concludes MS follows:
If the convention at Baltimore, whose
past life justifes we'll grounded confidence
to our cardinal principles, there is no rea-
son why there should be any division
among really patriotic men of the country.
To any such | shall DO most happy to
give my cordial and active support. My
own decided preference is to aid in this
way, and not to DO myself candidate;
but if Lincoln be nominated, as believe,
il would DO fatal to the country to en-
dorse the policy and renew a power which
has cost us the lives of thousands of men
and ncedlessly put the country on the
road to bankruptcy. There will remain
no alternative but to organize against him
every element of conscientious opposition
with view to prevent the misfortune of
his reelection.
In this contingency ! accept the nomi-
nation at Cleveland, and as preliminary
step have resigned my commission in
the army. This was sacrifice it gave
me pain TO take, but L had for long
time frullessly endeavorcd to obtain ser
vice. | make this sacrifice now only to
regain liberty of speech and leave nothing
in the way of discbarging to my utmost
ability tho task you have set before me.
With earnest and sincere thanks for
your expressions of confidence and regard,
aud for the many honorable terms in which
you acquaint me with the actions Of the
committee, | am, gentlemen,
Very respectfully and truly yours,
JNO. G. FREMONT.

The State Sabbath School Convention,
which convened at Grand Rapids, on
Tuesday last was a very pleasant meet
ing. From those present we learn the at
tendance was large and the exercises very
interesting. On Tuesday evening the ad-
dresses by several champions in the Sab
bath School cause, the discussion on We'd
nesday morning, on topics intimately con-
nected with The prosperity and efficiency
of these Sabbath institutions, the mass
meeting of the schools of Grand Rapids
on Wednesday afternoon, numbering some
fifteen hundred, the singing, addresses,
DC, on the occasion, and the addresses
of the evening following, all served to
arouse a new and heartfelt interest in the
glorious cause on the part Of the friends
of Sabbath Schools present, and no doubt
many an one resolved TO go home and
work more diligently and heartily for the
promotion of Sabbath School interests.
The next meeting of the Convention is
TO be held at East Saginaw.

The Democratic Party.

The Newburyport (Mass.) Herald, a
Republican paper bears the following
testimony, in recent number, to the char
acteristcs of the Democratic party. At
a time like the present, when the poiti-
cal campaign is opening for another Presi-
dental election it is certainly noteworthy ;
"Now we have this to say of the Dem.
ocratc party, that, separated from all con-
nections with slavery, it is THE party of
the country-and is, politically speaking,
essential truth. All other organizations
have been temporary based upon false
principles, and often aiming to sustain
wrong measures. There has never been
party opposed to the Democratic party
that has out lived single administration
after coming into power. From the days
of John Adams TO the last year of the
term of Abraham Lincoln, these facts
stand out as truth. They could live well
enough when out Of power, for then their
whole duty was 10 criticise and grumble,
but brought to the test of practical action,
they have all so far failed as to be reject
ed by the people upon the first election
afterwards; and if Mr.. Lincoln should
prove an exception, he will be the first in
seventy years. On the other hand the
Democratic party is more popular liz pow
er than out, because its platform has en-
bodied the principles upon which the ma
lion was founded and without which il
could not continue. We refer TO the rec
ognition of the written constitution; its
strict construction of the constitution, aud
MS n consequence, It's limitation Of execu-
tive aud congressional powers, its affirm
alton of the rights of The States-rights
reserved in the formation of the Union
and its defense of the liberties of Amer
lean citizens everywhere. Its measures
relating to finance, external improve
ments, tariffs, taxation, the army and ma
Wy, and intercourse with foreign powers,
were all based upon its fundamental
principles. Now we do not care what
may be the name of the party that
adopts this platform; it will be the party
TO control the country in the long run,
unless this revolution produces a radical
change in our government. The country
can be governed no otherwise and main
tain the distinctive character it has had,
and by which have come our wondrous
growth immense power, and great pros.
perity."

risk of mingling the miseries of maritime
travel with the delights of the honey
moon BY taking passage from Europe
yesterday in the Cunard steamer Persia.
The saying is that brides aboard bring

the Persia ought to make the most brill

IMPORTANT WAR NEWS.
New YoRK, June 6.


The Tribune's special says: Our cav
airy entered Mechanicsvile last evening
after scouting about the old battle fields
Of the Chckahominy.
Grant still pushes his left flank sue
cessfully, and his strategy battles the ma
nevres of the enemy. Having offered
them battle on the Totopotamy with his
right wing resting on the Virginia Cen
trail Railroad, and having compelled the
enemy to withdraw across the Chickahom-
inv, he has thrown his left wing with
his usual celebrity away in the east Of
Richmond and is now threatening the
crossing Of the Chickahominy at Bottoms
Bridge. There is now the point Of inter
est.
Badly Smith arrived from White
House just in time to get in action and CO.
operate with onr left flank last night.
All day firing in that direction indicates
that a severe battle has been raging, and
tonight we are glad to observe the can
onading to be perceptibly more distant.
Our new base is now completely estab-
lished nj the White House.
