WENDELL PH1LLrPs LETTER OF ACCEPT
ANcE.-In response to the official notification
that he had been nominated as candidate for
Governor of Massachusetts by the Labor Re.
form party, Mr.. Phillips made the following
reply:
Boston, Sept. u, 1870.
Charles Croaeley, Esq
Dear Sir,-You send me notice that the La
Dor Reform party of Massachusetts,, which met
at Worcester on the Sth inst, has done me the
honor to nominate me lor the Office of Cover
nor.
have no wish to be Governor of Massachu-
setts, aud fiattering as is this confidence,
thoroughly dislike to have my name drawn in
to party politics, for belong to no political
party.
But see nothing in your platform from
whi'h dissent, and the struggle which under
lies your movement has my fullest and heart
lest sympathy.
You are kind enough to say that my life has
been given TO the cause of Norkingmen. Tho
adoption OF the XVIII amendment sweeps in
all races and gives the 'ause wider range.

land should give themselves to the work Of
changing this gross injustice, this appalling
inequality. feel sure that the readiest way TO

And do we yet rebel?
It's wondrous, tits amazing grace,
Thai "a are on, of bel -

The Spri 'gfeld Republican believes that
"neither Mr.. Phillips nor his friends really ex-
pect to see him chosen Governor, and very
few persons except DR.. Loring, and his hang
ers on doubt the reelection OF Gov. Ciaflin ty
handsome plurality. But candidates Tor the
United States Senatorship, and all persons in
tereSted in the general management of State
affairs, must be prepared TO see in the next
Legislature large miscellaneous body of men
chosen by the combination which Wendell
Phillips will represent. This is a matter
which may as well be looked at now, for it
may have an important effect on one OF the
main issues in our coming State election, the
choice Of successor to Senator Wilson. The
prospect now is, as it has been all along, that
Mr.. Wilson will be his own successr."

We take the following from the Chicago
Evening Post. 1t shows that in one respect
the Democracy are the same the world over.
The Democratic papers are tickled almost
to death to ascertain that they have elected
one member of the Senate and tweHty-nye of
the Assembly, out OF total OF two hundred
and thirty-fve. From the slough oil their de-
spond they interpret every election return as
sign of hope. Ii they carry the town of
Hardscrabble by an increased majority of
three or four, on account of the minister
going away, or a ''saloon" being set up, they
straiShtway infer the election Of Hoffman to
the Presidency in 1872. Nothing asionlshes
them so much as the tact that the Democrat
ic party continues to exist at all. They in
cessantly sins-in the words OF the old hymn !:
Sand are sinners yet alive?
And do we yet rebel?

Organization and Movements of The
Armies of Germany.

The North German Gazette gives the
subjoined statement as TO the organiza-
ton and movements of the armies of Ger
many, respecting which many errors have
been incirculation lately. The Prince
Royal OF Saxony commands four divisions,
organized as previously reported. The
army has been ordered to move on Paris
UlG Rheims, while the third army is NOV
ing to the same destination through Troyes.
Eight army corps are therefore now NOV
ing on Paris. The first army, commanded
by General Steinmetz, consists of the first,
seventh and eighth army CORPS The Sec
ond army is that of Prince Frederick
Charles, comprising the second third, ninth
and tenth army corps. The third army,
commanded by the Prince ROYAL, COM
prises the fifth, sixth and eleventh corps,
as well as the two Bavvrlan corps. This
army Is directed to move on Paris by way
OF Troyes. The fourth army, that of the
Prince Royal of Saxony, is advancing on
Paris. by way of Chalons. The Fifth armv
under, under General Werther, embracing
the Wurtemberg and Baden divisions. Be-
sides there is the army of Reserves, partly
under the command Of the Duke of Meek
lenburg-Schwern, on the Rhine, partly
under command of General Caustein at
Berlin, and partly under command of Gen
Lowenfeld in Silesia.
The Gazette, after this recapitulation
goes on to say: Evidently the Prussians
may, without interruption or without dan
ger OF exposing their rear, move on Paris.
While the armies remaining in North Ger
many are strong enough to maintain at
nome and protect the country.
