GRANTS LETTER OF AC-
Ff CEPTANCE.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The following
is Grants reply to the nomination of
the Chicago Convention:
+ oaf WASHINGTON, May 20, 1868.
To General Joseph r. HaicRey, Presi-
dent National z Union Republican
Convention:
In formally accepting the nomina-
ton of the National Union Republican
Convention of the 2Ist of May, inst , it
seems proper that some statement Of
my views beyond the mere acceptance
of the nomination should be expressed.
The proceedings of the Convention
we're marked with wisdom, moderation
and patriotism, and I believe express
the feelings of the great mass of those
who sustained the country through its
trials IF elected to the Office of Pres
ident Of the United States, it 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.
Tn times like the present it is impos
sible, or at least eminently improper,
to lay down a policy to be adhered to,
right or wrong, through an administra
ton of four. years. New political is
sues not foreseen are constantly arising
The views of the public on old ones are
constantly changing, and a purely ad
ministrative officer should always be
left free to execute the will of the peo.s
pie. always have respected that will
and always shall. sd
Peace and universal prosperity, its
sequence, with economy of administra
ton, will tighten the burden of taxa

national debt. Let MS have peace.

servant si5g ff3astaaU. 8. Grant.

The White Ticket law.

The Radicals do not like what is
known as the "White Ticket" law,
passed for the purposeSof preserving
the purity of elections. 1t defeats the
nice arrangements which employers
managers q capitalists of that party
have adopted for several years past, to
compel those who labor for them to
vote as they might dictate Colored
tickets were brought into vogue for
the purpose of ascertaining how men
voted, aud thus enable the unscrupul-
GUS men, not only to apply the party
lash, but the still more potent and uu-
principied appliance of persecution auf
dischargefrom employment
Men of property, employers and the
whole tribe of impudent but b~rainless
aristocrats, whose only powerand infu
enee lay in the money and patronage they
possessed, hung around the ballot box.
"spotting'' every laboring man who de-
pended upon them for his daily bread,
and forcing poor men by all the intimi-
datlons that wealth can employ, to vote
against their own convictions OF right.
But this infamous system of espionage
will cease. There will be no more
colored tickets printed-no marked
tickets in circulation, and poor men,
uDawed by power, can hereafter vote
their sentiments without fear of de-
lection or of suffering the penalties that
unprincipled employers have heretofore
inflicted upon them for exercising the
most sacred right of freemen. Below
we append the law which We know will
be of interest to our readers. 1t will
be seen that it requires all ballots to be
"printed with black ink on plain white
news printing paper, without any device
or mark of any description :" 9a
