Gen. Hancock has at last concluded his
letter of acceptance ard 1t is in print. 1t
reads like one of the plaiitudes which used
to issue from old Bourbon stickiers for the
'-Constitution as it was'' before the rebel
lion, with this difference, that it promises
to respect the last three amendments. At
the same time this promise IS so hedged
about ty the oil cry for States rights, and
inSidioIs. not to say untruthful uttCrances
upon the interference of bayonets with
the bailot-box. that it really means no
more, coming from Gen. Hancock, than if
1t emanated from the pen of JEFF Davis or
Bob 'roombs. His profession of love and
veneratior for the Union and the t|onSti-
tuition must be taken with this mental
reservation, that it is the Union and Con-
stitution as he understands them. rather
than the laws of Congress. enacted by the
majority. enforce them. This and nothing
more. Just as surely as tie water of a
river cannot rise higher than its source,
inst so certain is it that the Democratic
candidate tor the Presidency cannot if he
should be willing, place himself and his
administration on higher plane of po-
litieal morals than his party occupies.
And all are fully acquainted with the at
titude Of this ancieat mesa il held to
State rights as means of upholding, ~ex-
tending and perpetuating slavery. 1t for

which will be thrown off the moment it
deems it safe to do so. Without malice
OF prejudice, Hancoek's letter o: accep-
tance may be pronounced one of imbe-
ciity aud worn out platitudes.
