were then added to the list After the list
Of delegates had been approved without a
dissenting voice, Hon. Joseph L. Kosson was
called ca to address the convention. He
came forward, and in a short impromptu, but
to tbe-point speech, convinced all present
that it was their duly to work for the defeat
Of any and every party opposed to Domoc-
racy, and closed by saying that he for one,
had a deep and confding faith in the success
Of our cause.-The overthrow Of radical
despots and the displacement Of -FIundering
ours Col ~ T. Polk also addressed the
convention. Taking proper view Of the
condition OF the DISTINGUISHED, he ably de-
Tended them against the attacks of those
who have elevated the negro to political
privileges which they under the odious laws
Of this and other Southern States, cannot
now enjoy, and asked the Democracy to
knock off the shackles that had been placed
upon them by designing men IN official
positions. At the conclusion of his remarks,
on motion, the convention adjourned sine die.

The following is Grants letter Of &C
| ceptance
WASHINGTON May % 1868.
To General James e. Harley, President Of
the National Union RcUuJIicuE C0HceI-
ton
Informally accepting the nomination Of
the National Union Republican Convention
of the Dist Of May, inst, it seems proper
that some statement of views beyond the
mere acceptance Of the nomination should
be expressed The proceedings Of the Con-
venti0n were marked with wisdom, modera-
ton and patriotism and l believe express
the feelings of the great mass Of those who
sustained the country through its recent
trials. | endorse their resolutions, and if
elected TO the Office Of President of the
United States, it viii be my endcavor to ad-
minister all the laws IN good faith, with
economy and with a view Of giving peace,
quiet and protection everywhere At times
like the present it is impossible, or at least
eminently improper, to lay down policy to
be adhered to right or wrong through an adj
miHistraton Of four years New political
issues not foreseen, are constantly arising,
and the views Of the public Oh old ones are
constantly changing. A purely adninistra-
tive officer should always be left free to exc
cute the will Of the people / have always
respected that viii, and always shall Peace
and universal prosperity, its sequence, with
economy of administration, viii tighten the
| burden Of taxation, while it constantly Tc-
| duces the public debt Let US have peace.
With great respects,
J our Obedicnt servant,
