Greeley's Acceptance of the Bal

NEW YORK, July Is, 1872.

liberation, it seems fit that should
give 10 your letter of the 10th
inst. some further and fuller re-
spouse than the hasty, Lnpremed
itated words in which 1 acknowl
edge and accept your nomination
at our meeting Oh the 18th.
That your convention saw fit TO
accord its highest honor to one
who had been prominetly and
pointedly opposed to your party
in the earnest and sometimes an
CRY controversies of the last for
ty years, is essentially notewor-
thy. That many Of you original
ly preferred that the Liberal
Republicans should present all
other candidate for President,
and would more readily have
united with us in the support of
Adams or Trumbul, Davis or
Brown, is well known. / owe my
adoption at Baltimore 10 the fact
that / had already been nomina-
ted at Cincinnati, and that con-
centration of forces upon any
new ticket had been proved
impracticable. Gratified as | am
al your concurrence in the Gin

am that you would not have thus
CONQUERED had you not deemed me
upright and capable, [ find
: nothing in the circumstances cal
/, cuiatrd To infame vanity or
nourislI self-conceit.
Bat that your convention saw
fit, in adopting the Cincinnati;
ticket, 10 re;,ffirm the Cincinnati
platform, IS to me source of the
profoundeSt satisfaction. That
party was constrained to take
this important step by no party
necessity real or supposed. I:
might have accepted the candid
ates of the liberal republicans
: upon grounds entirely its own, OF
l it might have presented them (as
: the first Wing National Couven
ton did Harrison and Taylor
without adopting any platform
whatever. That il chose to plant
: itself deliberately, by a vote near
= ly unanimous, upon the fuIles
and clearest enun citation of princi
pies which are ut once incontesta
bly, republican and emphaticall,
democratic, gives trust worthy as
surance that a new and NOR
suspicious era is dawning upol

\ BRONZE statue of BENJAMIN

Of January, his birth day. Since the

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN's precepts

lie was a man Of large intellect, and
yet his whole life was one of toll
and rigid economy, and money get

was unpalatable 10 the Southern
people, in the days Of their prosper

would now be better able to bear the
evil days that have come upon them.

Not the least interesting ana I'M.
pertant event Of the last fortnis ut
was the arrival, last week, of the
minister plsnipotsatiary of Japan, il
San Francisco, attended by large
suite. He made speech, by the aid
of an interpreter, in which he said
that his country had been very much
benefited by its intercourse with the
United States. The chief object of
his visit is to secure the revision of
the treaty between this and his own
country. He is accompanied by Mr..
DELoNe, an American, who holds a
position under the japanese govern
ment similar to that enjoyed by
Arson BURLINGAarE under the Chi
nese empire, a sort of mediator with
the civilized world. The prospects
for profitable intercourse between
the two countries are tlattering. The
japanese are not, as nation, welded
to legendary traditions and customs
four thousand years old, but they
seem fascinated with our fashions
and habits, and readily adopt them,
and evidence remarkable aptness
in learning our language. If we
succeed IN establishing friendly rcla-
tons between the two countries, in
troduce our arts and sciences among
them, win their esteem, and advance
civilization i'll all their borders, we
will lave accomplished most de-
sirable end. Il will not only advance
our western mercantile interests, by
giving lis thirty millions Of people
TO trade with, but it will be the means
of spreading knowledge OF Him who
walked upon the waters and whose
voice the winds nbeyed,-it will be
the forel of Christianity to q
great nation, how cropping in the
blackness Of darkness. The good
hat would result from the CONVEX.
sion of Japan to orr systems and civi'
iizstion is incalculable. Quite large
number of young men are already in
tho West seeking educational facili'
ties and studying our sciences and
arts. They do not, like thirty Chi
neSe in an Eastern College, retain
their national garb and habits, Blu,
unhe.itatingly adopt ours. Theil
industry and perseverance is said tC
Le extraordinary.
But the most significant sign O
all is the fact that large numbers o.
young ladies have also come over tt
be educated. The Japanese thu:
have become the first of the Eastern
| countries to discontinue the barba
rcus custom Of keeping i'll seciusiol
and ignorance, that sex, which God
| intended to DC the consolation and
glory Of man. This misarprchen.

OF being regarded as help-mates and

els. How can we expect great men
fromwomen who are funenlightencd
and who fill the positions Of menials
in society? 1t is firmly our opinion
that no treaties with civilized ma
lions will effect a social revolution
in these coul tries, until woman is
discnlhrallcd and moves in her prop
Ell sphere; and VIC hail with delight
this move, just made by the Japanese
government. Missionaries can dc
bat little toward advancing the
cause Of christianity without the
gentle and benign aid Of woman.
