Governor BY the Republican State Conven-
ton which met at Saratoga Springs, on the
23rd of August. 1t is indeed a great honor
and one that highly appreciate to receive
again the nomination for Governor OF the
State of New York, anc | desire to make
my cordial Acknowledgement therefor. AL
ready through the favor and Partially of the
people have held the office two full terms,
one term in time of peace and one when
the country was at war for the preservation
of the Union. While did not seek the
nomination at this time, it is priced none
the less on that account, and leaves me no
alternative but to formally and gratefully ac-
cept it. If the nomination should be rati-
fed at the polls shall hope to discharge
the high duties of the office so as to meet
the approval of all just men. The resolu-
lions of the convention embodying
as they do the platform adopted by
the last republican national convention,
together with the excellent letters of ac-
ceptance of our candidates for President
and Vice-President, meet my cordial ap-
prevail, and as have in messages and in
various other ways so often made public
my views in relation to proper management
of affairs of state, and so recently as the
l4th of June last in calling the Republican
National Convention to order, expressed
my opinion upon prominent national ques-
ii as now attracting the public attention,
it would appear to be unnecessary to extend
this communication. | have the honor to
be with much respect, very truly yours,
Z. d. MORGAN.
Mr.. ROGers's Acceptance.
Mr.. Sherman 5. Rogers, the nominee for
lieutenant governor. also writes letter
accepting the nomination IN which he says:
The statement of sound political ideas
made by the Cincinnati convention, sup
plemented by the resolutions of the conyen-
ton. over which you presided expresses the
convictions of the only party to which, as
believe. the control OF the national and
state affairs can safely be entrusted. have
no intention to enlarge upon the principles
so enumerated, but desire simply to express
my concurrence therein.

AFTERNOON.
In the afternoon, first on the programme
came the address by Ex-Governor Frederick
Smyth, of Manchester, n. H., one of the
Granite States most spected and honored
sons, who gracefully combines agriculture
and banking, and who for many years has
been an officer in the New England and
New Hampshire Agricultural societies.
Gov. Smyth's address was plain, prac-
teal, common sense talk, and it was
received with marked attention We regret
that undue modesty on the part of the
distinguished speaker prevents US from
giving his excellent address in full. lie
spoke of the advantages of Vermont as an
agricultural State; of the necessity Of
using the best materials, and hence Of
attending such occasions as this and seeing,
each for himself, the best and latest inyen-
tons and improvements. Gov. Smyth then
passed a glowing eulogy on agriculture,
and spoke Of the application of mind and
thought and mechanical ingenuity to its
work of the necessity of study and of the
advantages of small farms, and closed with
expressing his pleasure at the success of the
present fair and brief notice of the ben
efts of such an occasion.
THE RACES.
At the close Of the address came the
races These were closely contested, re
markably interesting, particularly the 2:39
race, and were watched with eager interest
by the vast concourse. The first resulted As
follows
