GEN. FAIRCHuD's ACCEPTANCE.
Mr.. President and Gentlemen
am fully sensible of the honor you hav,
! done me by the nomination yea have just
unanimously conferred upon me-
Coming as it does with the unanimous
voice of the Convention, and apparent,
with the full approval of the people yoI
represent, l feel that it is an especial honor
Whatever of industry, of ability, of hon
esty, and of energy possess, shall be g ver
TO the discharge Of the high office to which
] you propose to call me- If God has givel
be the ability you shall not be disappointed
in me.
Two years ago | stood before your prede
cessors as the nominee for Secretary of STATE
t | told them that | stood by the government
and the administration of Abraham Lincoln
6 because | believed that under that admins
tration the nation must either live or die
that we could not change in less than twC
? years, during which life or death awaited
the nation-and, gentlemen, how nobly
we have lived
For more than four years the Union mer
have stood shoulder to shoulder-not dis
S couraged, not disheartened-they have no
! bly, sustained the nation. Beset with foes
on all sides--the more manly ones in arms
at the South, the sneaking sympathizers a
the North, and the aristocratic nations O
the Old World.
We whipped the drawer enemy in on
: front with powder and ball, the cowardly
: ones at the North with ballots and argu
Y ments and those across the water by tn
q weight of our victories at home
: We have been victorious; but the battle
still goes on. 1t is still the duty of the I'm
c ion men to stand together and present
n firm united front to the enemies OF liberty
q With no dissenosin in our ranks we will b,
victorious and prove to the world that n,
principles opposed to liberty can live in GU
S land.
s The Union men cannot afford to quarre
q, on any subject. They must be united tt
the end that the great principles for which
we are contending, may be finally and fully
victorious.
o As stood by the administration of Presi
dent Lincoln, because | believed it right tt
- do so, L now stand by our President John
son, believing him to be honest-believns
that he has the good of our country at heart
R and that he is fully worthy ofour confidence
+ believe that if those lately in rebellion d.
not present themselves to Congress will
clean hands and pure hearts, he will MOI
clothe them with political rights.
i When they do present themselves will
such hands and such hearts we will al
welcome them.
My record in the past is before you. You
know me as well as you can any man in
e public life. The only voucher can give
for the future is that record
Again, gentlemen, let me thank you foI
: the high honor that you have conferred up
I on me, and say that l shall strain every
nerve to deserve it."
The following named gentlemen, were ap-
pointed tellers: E. NJ. Stewart, A. ]. Tur-
: ner, Il. S. Winsor, jackson Tibbetts, n. S.
Turner and II. Robbins
