So soon as it is clear, or even probable,
that our present adVersaries are ready for
peace upon the basis of the Union, we
should exhibit all the resources of states
manship prsclised by civilized nations and
taught by the traditions Of the American
people, consistent with the honor and in
terests of the country, to secure such peace,
re establish the Union, and guarantee for
the future the constitutional rights Of every
State. The Union is the one condition of
peace, and We ask no more.
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 will
ing to return to the Union, il should be
received at once with full guarantee of
all its constitutional rights. If frank,
earnest and persistent effort to obtain those
| objects should fail, the responsibility for
Interior consequences will fall upon those
who remain in arms against the Union,
but the Union must be preserved at all
hazards.
could not look in the faces of my gall
liant comrades of the army and navy who
have survived so many bloody battles, and
tell them that their labors and the sacrifice
of SO many of our slain aud wounded
brethren had been in vain; that we had
abandoned that Union for which we have
so often periled our lives. A vast maj ority
of our people whether in the army and ma
w, or at home, would, as l would, hail
with unbounded joy the permanent resto.
ration OF peace, on the basis of the Union
under the Constitution, without the effu-
sion of another drop of blood, but no peace
can be permanent without Union.
AS to the other subjects presented in the
resolutions of the Convention, | need only
| say that should seek in the Constitution
of the United States, aud the laws framed
in accordance Herewith, the rule of my
duty and the limitations of executive pow.
er; endeavor to restore economy in public
expenditures, re-estsblish the supremacy
of law, and by the operation of more
| vigorous nationality resume our command
ing position among the nations of the
earth.
The condition of our finances the depri-
citation of the paper money, and the bur
dens thereby imposed on labor aud capital,
show the necessity of a return to a sound
| financial system, while the rights of citi-
zsns, and the rights of States and the bind
ing authority of law over the President,
the army and the people are subjects OF
not less vital importance in war than in
peace.
Believing that the views here expressed
are those of the Convention and the people
you represent, accept the nomination.
l realize the weight of the responsibility
to be borne should the people ratify your
choice.
Conscious of my own weakness, can
only seek ferVently the guidance of the
Ruler of the universe, and relying on His
all. powerful aid, do my beat to restore
Union aud pease to suffering people,
and to establish and guard their liberties
and rights.

obedient servant.

TIE Chicago Convention declares there
have been "fOur years OF failure to restore
the Union by war" If the charge is true,
Mcclellan is responsible for two years of
that "failure" aud is rewarded for it by a
nomination for the Presidency. Since his
retirement, the Mississippi has been open
ed, the heart of the Southwest occupied,
Mobile Bay captured, Lee has been driven
from the Rapidan into his defensese, the
Shenandoah Valley is held by an irresisti-
BILE force, theWeldou railroad is finally ours.
Where was failue under Mcclellan is the
dawn of complete victory under Grant and
Sherman. They are not political gener-
ale; they do not throw away national adj
vautages from personal ambition. Under
them, therefore, success takes the place
of failure; and now the final victory of the
Union is clearly at hand. 800. ~.

SECRETARY STANTON has succeeded in
getting into another imbrOglio. He lately
issued an order, without law, precedent or
justice to the effect that off GERS of the army
upon receiving new commissions, shall be
sworn and mustered into the service for
the term of three years, without regard to
the time the recipient of the commission
may have already served under a similar
obligation. OF course this raised. a COM
motion among officers, circumstances were
sent to the President, and large number
of newly promoted officers refused to aCa
cept their commissions with this condition.
The President has referred the matter to
Gen. Grant for decision, who will of course
pronounce against Stanton's arbitrary edict
and the latter will subside till new idea
strikes him. -u- ---sa

he says, because be is weary of the pen and
believes he can do more good in another
sphere.
In his address to the patrons of the Ga.
zette, the new editor says:
With our present light as to the official
career of Mr. Lincoln, and the motives by
which he has been actusted, and with our
present knowledge of the condition and
work of our armies in the field and of the
rapidly failing fortunes of the Coutederacy
wa feel the frmest conviction,l that there
are less exposure and risk to the people
less war and waste of treasure-speedier
restoration of thrift and industry and a
more honorable peace and more iudissolu-
BILE union, in the reelection of Mr.. Lincoln
than in that of any other man whose name
has yet been presented for the suffrages of
the American people. The wonder is that
Mr.. Lincoln should, in the present compli-
cation of events be unpopular in certain
circles, the outs of Office, aud with the
northern wing of the southern oligarchy
but the wonder is that he is even more pop
ular than Washington was during the great.
er part of his official career.

GEu. MoCLELLAN's LETTER OF ACCEPT
AHoR is Published this morning! This let
ter will hardly give satisfaction to the gem
eral,s copperhead friends. 1t is true he &C.
cents the nomination of the Chicago Con-
vention, but repudiates the platform man
ufactured by that Convention. The great
measure recommended by the Convention
was immediate peace. This plank the
General repudiates, and is not willing to
adopt, but in this he presents the singular
spectacle of man williog to accept othce
at the hands of party whose sVoWed pol
lev is in direct opposition to his own. But
We often Judge men more by the company
in which they are found than by their
words, and this declaration of Gen. Nc
CleIlan may have been more for pelicy
than anything else. We can hardly think
that Yallandigham, Seymour, and that
class of peace on any terms men, would
have nominated man for such position
who would not be perfectly safe in their
hands. If Gen. Mcclellan would satisfy
the people that be is honest in what he
says, in his reputation of the peace poll
icy of the Chicago Convention, he must at
once cut loose from this trsitorous gong,
and denouuce them and all their acts. This
he will have to do before getting credit for
honesty in his declarations, and this he
cannot do, of course, and occupy his pre-
sent position.
The New York NeU,, one of the leading
copperhead papers in the city of New
York. as seen by our dispatches this morn
ing, is out in favor of calling the CouVen.
ton together again, and either adopting a
new platform or else making another nom
inatiou. The Editor, although McClel.
an man before the meeting of the Con-
vention, is dissatisfied with his letter of
acceptance. We hope they may have q
good time in recouciliug their difficulties
But it will all be of no account after it i:
done, for Old Abe has the inside track, auG
will distance any candidate that may be
brought out. OF this there is no doubt.

me unsought.
am happy to know that when the nom
ination 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 indelible in my mind and heart the
love aud reverence for the Union, Oousti-
tation, laws and flag of our country i'm
pressed upon me in early youth. These
feelings have thus far guided the course
of my life, and must continue to do SO 10
it's end. The existence of more than one
government over the region which once
owned our flag is Incompatible with the
peace, the power, and the happiness of the
people. I~- .'
The preservation of our Union was the
sole aVowed object for which the war was
commenced, and it should have been con.
Quoted 10 accordance with those principles
which took occasion to declare when in
active service. ssh Ibid,
Thus conducted, the work of reconcilia-
ton would have besn,sas aud we might
have reaped the benefits of our many VIC
tories on land and sea. s.a s...E !
81 The Union was originally formed by the
exercise of spirit Of Cancellation and
compromise, and to restore and preserve
itIhe same spirit must prevail in our coun-
ellis aud in the hearts Of the people, The
re establishment of the Union In all its
integrity Is and must continue TO be the /
Indispensable condition in any settlement,
