GENTLEMEN or THE CONvENTION-T
have the honor to acknowledge the re-
ccipt of your communication advising
me that had been unanimously NOM
mated a. candidate for the Vice-Presi-
dency Of the United States by the Dem
oeratic National Convention at Balti-
more. For this mark of confidence on
the part of so large a body of my fellow
citizens, ] cannot too deeply express my
gratitude. The distinction is one which
l feel in a great measure undeserved,
where so many suitable candidates could
have been found, and vet that feeling
will render me dOubly sOIicitOus, should
your action be confirmed, 10 discharge
the duties of that high place with fidel-
ity to your trust, with devotion to
the public interest, and with infexible
resolution 10 prove not unworthy. To
be affirmed by the Liberal Republi-
cans at Cincinnati, and proclaimed
without amendment by the Democratic
party at Baltimore, gives assurance that
in this combined expression there is
sought only the deliverance of the ma
ton from present great peril to its
peace and liberty. To that end all
minor considerations have been subor-
dinated, and an illustration presented to
the country of an unselfish patriotism,
rather than any sticking for paTtizan
advantage, which should convince all Of
the perfect sincerity of this movement.
Ii has involved no surrender on either
part of my former convictions. 1t has
not been negotiated or bargained. Its
origin was nom the people, though diff
fering in the past on some questions Of
great magnitude, yet now that they are
settled, there is hearty concurrence be-
tween us all upon the vital questions
agitsting the public mind. That con-
duct Of national affairs that involves your
convention has well set faith in its
platform aud its true accord with the
Democratic ideas that guided our earlier
administrations, and is the best guaranty
that II viii restore equal rights, TRANQUIL |
and constitutional rules.
Permit me, also, gentlemen, through |
you to express my thanks to the great |
masses Of your party, who have since |
ratified their action with such signal |
and say to them that, in ac- /
cepting this nomination, l do SO believ-
ing there is nothing in honor or in con-
science that should prevent the most !
cordial cooperation henceforth in be-
half of the politics presented.
In concluding, ii is proper to state
that a severe illness has intervened since
the reception of your communication,
which has delayed this reply until my
and return home. With very
great respect, am, yours truly,
