OMAHA, NEBRASKA, July 13, 1868.
General George IT, Morgan, Chairman Cuma-
mHnec National DnmocraNc Convention
GENERAL Il take the earliest opportunity
Of replying to your letter, notifying me of my
nomination for Vice President Of the United
sStatcs by the National Democratic Convention
recently held in the City of New York
accept without hesitation the nomination
rendered in manner so gratifying, and give
you and the committee my thanks for the very
kind ana complimentary language in which
you have conveyed to me the decision Of the
convention
have carefully road the resolutions adopted
by the convention, and most cordially concur
in every principle and sentiment they au-
nounco.
My opinion upon all Of the questions which
discriminate the great contcnding parties have
been freely expressed on all suitable occasions
and do no, deem it necessary at this time to
rciterac them.
The issues upon which the contest turrs are
hy the sophistrics Of our advcrsarics They
all resolve themselves into the old and ever
renewing struggle of fcw mon to absorb the
political power OF the nation. This effort un-
der every conceivable name and disguise, has
always characterized the opponents Of the
Democratic party, but at no time has the at-
tempt assumed shape 50 open and daring as
in this contest; The alvcrs,ries of free and
constitutional government, i'll defiance Of the
express language Of the constitution, have
erected military dcspotism in ten of the
States Of the Union, have taken from the
Prcsidcn, the powers vested in him by the
supreme law, and have deprived the Supreme
Court of its jurisdiction. The right of trial
by jury, and the great writ of rights, the
huJcos co,puS-shiolds of safety for every cti-
zen, aud which have descended to us from tho
earliest traditions of our ancestors, and which
our Revolutionary fathers sought to secure
their postcrity forever in the fundamental
charter of our lborties-havc been ruthlcssly
trampcd under foot by tho fragment Of a Con.

SPEECH OF
GENERAL WADE HAMPTON
Al THE GRAND
4.ATTEICATIONs MEETING
CHARLESTON, S, c., JULY q, 1868,
VOLUME 2.

g
F'llo,c-cilfErss ~ Ehorhsann s--I thank you
from the bov Jm of my heart for the kind re-
ccption. and my chief regret is that, having
suffered for two or three days from a severe
cold, my voice will nut enable nc to express to
sou, in such Il manner as desire, how deeply
touched am by this manifestation Of ycu. cs
tocm.
AS Irccogni:c the right of the people to
dcma6d from their representative, at all times,
an account OF thcir stewardship, have coma
at ycur call, to rcnd.s mine, as one of
delegates toathe J. ...vcratlc Convention This
reason would of itself have been sufficient to
bring me here, but there were other reasons of
a personal character which mako the pcrfor-
nance of this duty OIL this occa,ion source of
infinite pleasure.
More than four ycars-ycars which have
seen nations death, which have brought to us
sorrow, humiliation and ruin-havc passed
since last stood in your noble and battle
scarrcd old city. Then proudly erect, flushed
with victory aud devotion in her patriotism,
she held in her heroic hands the key of our
State, dcfying, with indomitable courage, Che
assaults other cncn,ios. While portion of her
sons here guarded SO bravcly tho portals of the
Statc, others were following the glorious South
crn Gross wherever it was waving in triumph,
or were sleeping their last sleep on the fields
which their valor had contributed to win. All
were doing their duty as Carolnaus, aud the
great historic names Of the revolution were
gildcd with new lustre as the descendants of
Moultric, Of Rutcdgc, of Lowndes, Of Ilaync,
of Pinckncy and lIugcr, fought as did their
fathers for this dear old Carolina of ours
We'll, then, might she be proud of the immor-
tai record she was making for herself; and as
oIo OF her SONS my heart used tc swell with
joy and pride as day after day tidings came 70
our far distant camp fires IN Virginia that the
baave old city, ravagcd by fire, torn by shot
and battercd by shell, still stood unconqucrcd
and unconqucrabc. Thank God she stood
80 to the last. She heard the first gun Of the
war, and through nll of those four years of
blood and deadly strife that followed, our has
foatcd triumphanty from her bclcagucrcd
walls; and not until that flag was .r'dcd for
oyer, to be buried with the Lost Cause, did
hostile feet press her soil. Nobly, then did
she fulfil her arduous trust during those STIR
ring years Of war Como what may, her past
is beyond rcproach. So long as patriotism,
constancy and yalor are esteemed, the Won
drous story of her defence will stir the hearts
on brave mon, and noble women will teach
their children to lisp the name Of Bcaurcgard.
So long as old Ocean dasllcs its waves against
\ ruins Of Sumter, hcr sons will tell with
pride how those ruins were held d-cvcn after
obey had ceased to afford. sholtcr to their gar
