Letter from Gov. sey1 1our Accepting the
Presidentisl NomiBstion.
New YORK, Aug 5.-Gov. Sey mour has written
a letter formally accepting the nomination by the
Democratic National Convention, in which he
says the nomination was unsought and une pected,
but he was caught up by the overwhelming tide
which is bearing the country on TO great politi-
cal charge, and ne finds himself unable TO resist
its pressure. The resolutions adopted by the con-
yebtion accord with his views. He delayed a
formal acceptance until the adjournment OF Con-
gress, for the purpose of seeing what light the
action of Congress would throw upon
the interests of the country. The
congressional party has not only allied
Itself with the military power which Is to be
brought to bear directly upon the elections in
many of the States, but holds itself in perpetual
session with the avowed purpose of making such
laws il shall see fit in view OF the election soon
to take place. Never before has Congress taken
q menaciDg attitude towards electors. Under the
influence OF Congress, some OF the States are pro-
posing to deprive the people OF the right to vote
for presidential electors thereby has the first
bold step been taken to destroy tue rights of suf
frage. He refers TO the demand Of tax gatherers
Men are admitted as representatives OF some OF
the Southern States with the declaration upon
their lips that they cannot live In the States they
claim to represent without military protection.
They owe their seats to the disorder at the South,
and that very fact prompts them to
keep it in anarchy iln vain the wisest Republicans
protested against this policy. There Il hardly an
able man who helped to build the Republican
organization who has not within the past three
years warned it against excesses, while many
have been driven from the ranks. Personally,
the presidential Office has no attraction for him.
During the war be had given sixteen thousand
commissions to officers of the army, aud he knew
they demanded the union they fought for. The

not doubt a triumph, which will bring back peace
and prosperity TO our land, and give US Once1nOre
