I. New YORK, July 23.--T Tie following is Mr..
Greelcy's letter, accepting the Baltimore no.
mipation. in reply to the letter of tlie com.
mittee appointed to notify him thereof:
Ngw YORK, July Is, 1872.
Gentlemen, Upon mature delibcratinn, il
seems lit that [ should give TO your letter OF
the 10Th instant some further and fuller re-
sponse than the hasty, unprecedented words
in which acknowledged aud accepted your
nomination at our meeting on the 18th in
slant.
! That your Convention saw fit to accord its
| highest honor to one who had been proini-
nently and pointedly opposed to your party
iii the earnest and sometimes angry 'contro-
versies of the last forty years is essentially
noteworthy. That many Of you desired TINT
the Liberal Republicans should present an
other candidate for President, and would
more rapidly have united with us in the sup
port of Adams or Trumbull, Davis or Brown.
is well known. owe my adoption at Bal
timore wholly to the fact that had already
been nominated at Cincinnati. and that Il
concentration 6r forces upon any new man
| had been proved imprartic7tble
Graticd as | am at your concurrence in
the Cincinnati nomination, and certain as
am that you would not have thus concurrcd
had you not deemed Inc upright and capa-
| bic, found nothing in the circumstance cal
| culatcd to inlamc vanity or pouriSii scli-coll-
ceit. But that your Convention saw fit to
rcitlirm :hc Cincinnati platform is to me Il
source Of the profoundeSt satisfaction. That
| body was constrained to take this step by no
Nrty necessity, real or supposed. 1t might
| have accepted the candidate: of the Liberal
| Republicans upon grounds entirely its own,
or it might have presented them Us the first
| Wing convention did Harrison and Tyler,
without adopting any platform whatever.
That it chose to plant itself deliberately,
by a vote nearly unanimous, upon the fullest
and clrarc>t enunciation Of principles which
are at once incontcstahlv Republican and en-
| phatiGtily Democratic, gives trustworthy
assurance that Il new and mere suspicious
era is dawnng upon our lonS-diStiuctcd
country. Some of the best years and best
efforts OF my life were devoted to Il struggle
against chattcl slavery, struggle none the
| less earnest and arduolls because respect for
constitutional objections constrained The to
ACT for the most part OH the defensive in re-
sistancc to the diffusion, rather than III
| direct efforts for the extinction; of human
bondage,
Throughout most of these years my vision
was unchcercd, my eXcrtions were rarely all
| mated, by even so much as Il hope that
| should live TO see my country pcoplcd 10y
| frccmcn alone. Tie aInmnce by your Con
vcntion of the Cincinnati platform is Il most
conclusive proof that not merely is slavery
abolished, but that its spirit is extinct that
| despite the protests OF respectable but $50.
