Andrew JOhnson's Letter of AC-
ceptanCe.

The following is the letter of Andrew
johnson accepting the nomination of the
National Union Convention for Vice Pres
ident of the United States:
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 2, 1864
Hon. Wm. De1nison, Chairman, and 9th
ers, Committee of the National Union Con-
Uention :-Gentlemen Your communica-
ton of the 9th ult., informing me of my
nomination for the Vice Presidency of
.he United States, by the National Union
Convention, held at Baltimore, and en-
closing copy of the resolutions adopted
by that body, was not received until the
25th ult.
A reply on my part had been previous
ly made to the action of the Convention
in presenting my name, in speech de-
livered in this city, on the evening sue
ceeding the day of the adjournment Of
the Convention, in which indicated my
acceptance of the distinguished honor
conferred by that body, and defined the
grounds upon which that acceptance was
based, substantially saying what l now
have to say. From the comments made
upon that speech by the various presses
of the country to which my attention has
been directed, considered i. to be re-
garded as full acceptance.
In view, however, of the desire 1eyYres-
sed in your communication, l win more
fully allude to few points that have
heretofore been presented My opinion
on the leading questions at present agita-
ting and disturbing tie public mind, aud
especially in reference to the rebellion
now being waged against the government
and authority of the United States, pre-
sumo, are generally understood. Before
the Southern people assumed belligerent
attitude (and frequently since), | took oc-
casion most freqently to declare the views
I then entertained in relation to the wick
ed purposes of the southern politicians
They have since undergone but little, If
any, change. Time and subsequent
events have rather confirmed than dimin-
ished my confidence in their correctness.
At the beginning of the great struggle

nounced it as treason, worthy the punish

Shield and Buckler, assured that needed
strength would be given him in the une-
quail contest which might ensue.
The guns were reloaded, and father and
son resumed their former positions and
awaited the return of the foe. They were
not long kept in suspense. Twenty
mounted rebels, accompanied by four
citizens of Myersville, with whom Dir. B.
was acquainted, were advancing on his
premises. When within a short distance
of Dir. B. IS barn, the citizens were ordered
in front of the rebel squad, as protection
to them from the bullets which the cow
ardly land pirates knew were ready to
greet them. UEdismayed, Mr. b. warned
his acquaintances against moving step
forward, assuring them that should they
do so they would meet with swift and
certain death.
Inundated and bewildercd, there the
rebels stood, besita.iDg what to do. Every
supposed the ''Yankee soldiers" were
secreted, was promptly and vigorously
answered. ''W hat should they do"
reasoned these bafIied sons of Mars
Evidently they were fighting superior
numbers, and would not hazard the chan
ces for success with their present force,
but woald go back for artillery. As they
were wheeling their horses to retrace
their course, Sir. Il. shot the leader Of
the baud through the head, killing him
instantly.
4 second time Mr. Blessings peighbors
waited upon him, and urged him, in the
most earnest language they could employ,
to desist from the hazardous course he
was pursuing. Their entreaties were IN
avaiiing. He was determined TO fight 10
the hitter end, severe as the consequences
might prove to him. Would God permit
him to kill one more traitor, he was willing
to die
| Momentarily expecting the marauders
to return with artillery, Mr.. B shculdered
two guns, and posted himself in clump
of trees on lane leading from the public
road TO his residence. lie had been there
but a short time when he observed heavy
clouds of dust rising from the road, some
distance off. a large body Of hersemen
were moving toward him. In the advance
he noticed what he conceived TO be q
rebel scout. In an instant the old man
raised his gun and was in the act OF firing,
when the object of his aim fell back into
the main column of soldiers riding rapid
ly up the lane. He now recognized the
Blue Goats, who, having heard of the
heroic conduct of the dauatless old patriot
aud bis worthy son, were Fastening to
their rescue. The scene which followed
can better be imagined than described.
Mr. Blessing is upward of seventy
years of age, enjoys goud health, and is
brimfull of the spirit of '76 He is an
elder in the Myersville Lutheran Church.

the Schofeld regime, By which the Federal
power and patronage aided those of the State
in tramplng down the Radicals But,
though there are many Conservatives who are
not Rebels, every Rebel in the State is Con-
sentative; and these Counties. which were the
strongholds of Conservatism in %, are tho
Businesses Of Rebellion in GA. The traitor guer'
rillas are recruited, subsisted, and concealed
in them; open, earnest Unionists are hunted
like wolves and shot by night in their beds; the
National arms, distributed by Gen. Schoiield TO
the Militia to enable them to keep order. have
been turned over by hundreds to the Rebels;
and it is established by dear-bought experience
that you cannot expel treason from one OF these
Counties without eradicating Slavery therein.
Such is the lesson which has been learned at
cost of thousands of precious lives and many
millions of dollars.

how any reader of these columns can honestly
assert the contrary.

to deter others by violence or threats from doing

they violate sacred rights and expose themselves

Mr.. w. c. Jewett addresses us q note where
in he declines TO enter into any newspaper con-
troyersy with Mr.. T.. Bliss respecting his private
business transactions with other parties than
the said Bliss. We do not hesitate TO pro-
nounce Mr.. J. entirely right in this resolve. II
any one has ever been wronged or defrauded by
Mr.. (which he strcnuously denes-let him
eppeal 10 the laws rather than have some one
else appeal to the public through the journals.
Mr.. Jewett thinks rs have done him less than
iustice in our illusions or our silence with re-
gard TO his efforts for Peace. That he has
meant well, we have never doubted but his
action has for the most part seemed to us Singu-
larry injudicious. Sincerely desiring and indie
faticably laboring to stay the effusion of Ameri-
can blood. he has seen tit TO appear as the ac-
ouser Of his own Government, the denouncer

indorser Of the pacific temper and good

ton by admitting the fundamental assumptions
of the Rebels-that they are distinct people
that we are struggling for their subjugation,
&c, &c. We believe in mediation; but the
mcdiators must not have prejudged the matters
in issue.
The Chicago Times and some other journals
assert that we have impeached Mr.. Jewetts
veracity, in discrediting the Peace bases which
be has reported as having been suggested by
the Confederate Commissioners in Canada.
Our idea was simply this: Reports OF Peace
propositions which come to the public at second
or third hand, based originally on oral commu-
munications, are ofno value whatever. We did
not doubt that Mr.. Jewett stated what be sup
posed to DO true; but we are not of those who
believe that real profIers of terms Of peace can
come before the public in such fashion. That is

A BLIND GUIDE.

The Rev. William j. Hogc. ID. d., born in
1876 at Athens, Ohio, and for some years q
clergyman in that State, removed thence tO
Richmond, Va, where he taught for several
years, but was finally drawn thence in 1883
to this city, where he was settled as colleague
to the Rev. DR.. Spring over the Brick Church
Society. After the outbreak Of the Rebellion
indeed after the battle Of Bull Run-he ran of
South, was settled over the Presbyterian church
in Petersburg. and died on the 9Th ult.
DIR. Hoge being dead, We pass lightly over
his errors; but the living can claim no such for
bcarance. The Rev. Samuel Ireneus Prime
thus speaks in his last Nep- York Obserrr:

Now we protest against the doctrine here
|propounded by DR.. Prime as Totally mistaken
and pernicious. 1t would justify the treason of
Arnold or that of Twiggs. We presume the
" heart Of every traitor who left the armies Of
the Union to lead those Of the Confederacy was
with the Rebellion. or wherever Slavery would
have il; but we cannot admit that "a an ex-
cise for his treason. For there are such things
a. Duty. Patriotism, Loyalty, Fidelity; and no
man is at liberty to desert his imperlcd conn
Try, fleeing to the enemy, because his " heart "
Is on that side. He may do no more harm by
going straight over to the Rebels than by re-
naming to find fault with everything done by
the Government and vote the Copperhead
ticket; but that does not establish the right Of
desertion. The Editor who gave the advice
which sent Mr. lloge to Dixie is. by his own
confession, q bad conscience keeper and an I'M
safe adyiser, whether of his friends or the
public.
