Governor Hayes Letter.

We cannot too highly commend Governor
HAYEs's letter accepting the Republican
nomination for the presidency. 1t is the
first letter written SINCE the war by any Re-
publican running for high office in which q
proper spirit was manifested when speak
ing OF the South. In fact, the letter is so
thoroughly unlike GRANT and Grantism--so
totally different from MORTON and Norton
ism-from Radicalism and Administration
rascality-that we read it with no less graft
fication than surprise. Governor TILDEN
will find it difficult to write palmer decla-
ration OF principles, or one better calcula-
ted to draw to his side the true men Of the
country. It were easy to say that Governor
HAYES is insinccre; but this we shall not
say now. II he cuts loose from GRANT he
will deserve well of his countrymen. Let
us judge him by his acts. What could he
say better than the following?
"Let me assure Ely countrymen OF the
southern States that il shall be charged
with the duty OF organizing an Administra-
ton it will be one which will regard and
cherish their truest interests-the interests
OF the white and Of the colored people both
and equally, and which will put forth its
best efforts in behalf Of civil policy which
will wipe out forever the distinction be-
tween the North and South in our common
country"
His plan for reforming the civil service is
admirable. Ills declaration of his purpose
to serve but one term is highly commenda-
BILE. His views on the currency question
are little too obscnrely expressed. His
references to the South are conceived in a
good spirit and happily expressed.
We cannot but rejoice in the prospect of
an election which will not result in new
measures Of oppression for the South, no
matter which OF the two candidates be
elected. We fear, however, that this CRATE
full prospect may yet be destroyed by the
Vaccinations Of such monsters as MORTON.

The Knoxville Tribune says that :: it seems
probable from the tide of German sentiment
in Ohio, Wisconsin. Illinois, and Indiana,
that the chances OF carrying those States for
the Democracy become decidedly encouragg-
ing" which agrees exactly with what we
heard whilst in the West, but is " too good
to be true" we fear.

Extract OF a letter from Abingdon ::

"The st. Louis nominations are giving
universal satisfaction to our people. Every
man you meet says it is the very ticket I
would have selected myself if I had the dis
poSal OF it. We are anxious to see this
ticket IL success, and intend to do every
thing that in us lies to make it win"

AN ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY.

Reports from all parts OF the State. cSpc-
cially those brought by the returned Fourth
of-July orators, who went from here to
nearly every county, are to the effect that
there has been no such general political up
rising for years in the State rs is every
where witnessed in behalf of Tilden, as the
embodiment OF reform. The Democratic
politicians predict success with an honest
appearance Of faith in it which they have
never done before, not even in the most
promising times. On the other hand the
Republican politicians do not express any
confidence in the result, but are gloomy and
far from loquacious.-C Chicago Times.

MILwAUKEE, July THE news from all
parts Of the State indicates that the nomina-
ton OF Tilden has given the greatest salts
faction to the people of all classes: 1t is
participated in by the vast body OF Liberals.
by many men of all parties who had tired
OF party rule, and especially by the Ger
mans in body, among whom Tiden
and Bristow have acquired vast repll-
tation rs sturdy reformers. When Bris-
tow, who was their favorite, was beaten,
they turned toward Tilden, and they are al
ready enthusiastic in his support. He re-
presents to them principle with which his
name is identical, that OF reform in admin
istration; and it is more than probable that
if no change takes place i'll the canvass, ii
no "set-back" occurs like that of the Gree
ley campaign, rilden will get almost the
solid body of the German vote, which will
render his success in Wisconsin by many
thousand majority.

pAcIFIcATIoS OF THE COUNTRY.

The resolution OF the Convention on the
subject OF permanent paciticatlon OF the
country and the complete protection OF all
its citizens in the free enjoyment OF all their
constitutional rights is timely and OF great
importance. The condition Of the southern
States attracts attention, and commands the
sympathy OF the people OF the whole Union
in their progressive recovery from the effects
of the war. Their first necessity is an in
telligent and honest administration OF the
Government, which will protect all classes
Of citizens in all their political and pri-
vate rights. What the South most
needs is "peace," and peace depends
upon the supremacy OF law. There
can be. no enduring peace il the
constitutional rights OF any portion OF the
people are habitually disregarded. a divi-
sion OF political parties, resting merely upon
distinctions Of race OF upon sectional lines,
is always unfortunate and may be diSas-
trous. The welfare OF the South, alike with
that OF every other part OF the country, de-
ponds upon the attraction it can offer to la
Dor, to immigration, and to capital, but Ia
borers will not go, and capital will not be
yentured where the Constitution and the
laws arc set at defiance, and distraction, ap-
prehension, and alarm take the place OF
peace-loYing and peace-abidng social Life.
All parts OF the Constitution are sacred
and must be sacredly observed-the
parts that are new no less than
the parts that are old. The moral
and material prosperity OF the southern
States can be most effectually advanced by a
hearty and generous recognition Of the
rights Of all by ala recognition without
reserve or exception. With such recog-
milton fully accorded, it will be practicable
to promote by the influence Of all legitimate
agencies OF the General Government the
efforts Of the people Of those States to OBJ
tain for. themselves the blessing OF honest
and capable local government. II elected,
shall consider it not only my duty,
but it will be my ardent desire to
labor for the attainment Of this end. Let
me assure my countrymcn Of the southern
States that if / shall be charged with the
duty OF organizing an administration it will
be one which will regard and cherish their
truest interests, the interests OF the white
and OF the colored people, both and equally;
and which will put forth its best efforts in
behalf of civil policy which will wipe out
forever. the distinction between North and
South in our common country. a-.st /.
With civil service organized upon a sys-
tenn which will secure purity, experience,
efficiency, and economy :; a strict regard for
