l~,cepting the nomination of the National Union Re
publican Convention of the 2lst, it seems proper
that some statement of my views, beyond u mere
acceptance of the nomination. should be express
ed. The proceedings of the Convention were
marked with wisdom. moderation and patriotism.

those who sustained the country through its trials.
/ indorse their resolutions, and if elected to the Of
fee OF President of the United States, ii will be my
endeavor to administer all the laws in good faith,
with economy, and with the view of giving peace,
quiet, and protection everywhere. In times like
the present it is impossible or improper TO lay
down a policy to be adhered to. right or wrong,
through an administration of four years. New
political issues not foreseen, are constantly aris-
ing, and the views OF the public on old ones are
constantly changing. and as a purely administra-
tive officer / should always endeavor to be guided
by the will of the people, which l always have re-
spected and which | always shall respect. Peace,
and universal prosperity. its sequence, with econ
omy of administration will Tighten the burden of
taxation. while it constantly reduces the national
debt. Let us have peace! With great respect,
your obedient servant, US. GRANT"
