cock-Sir: The National Convention of
the Democratic. party. which assembled
at Cincinnati on the 22d Of last month,
candidate for President of the United
States. We have been directed to in
form you of J our nomination for this
exalted trust,i and request your accep-
tance. In accordance with the uniform
custom OF the Democratic party, the
Convention has announced its views up
on the important issues which are before
the country IN aseries Of resolutions, to
which we invite your attention. These
plies upon which the Democratic party
demands that the Gov yernment shall be
conducted, and they also emphatically
icondemn the maiadministratiSn Of the
party in power, its crimes against the
sCopstitution, and especially against the
right Of the people to choose and Install
their President, which have wrought, 80
much injury and dishonor ito our. coun-
try. That which chiefly inspired your
nomination was the fact that you had
cjnspicuo usly Recognized and exempli
ded the yearning of the American peo-
pie for reconciliation and brotherhood
under the shield Of the Constitution,
with all its Jealous care and guarantees
for rights of persons and OF States. Your
nomination was not made alone because
in the midst of arms you illustrated the
highest qualities of a soldier, but because
when the war had ended, and when, in
recognition of your courage and fidelity,
I,tou were placed In command of part
Of the Union undergoing process Of
restoration, and while you, were thus
clothed with absolute power, you used it
not to subvert bus to sustain civil lave
aud the rights they we're established to
protect. Your fidelity to those princi-
pies, manifested in the important trusts
heretofore confided to your care, gives
proof that they will control your admin
istration Of the National Government,
aud Jassares the country that our iHdis-
soluble Union, of indestructibfe States
and the Consultation, with its wise dis
ttibution Of power and regard for bonn-
daries of States and Federal authority,
will not suffer In your hands; that you
win maintain the osubordination of the
| military to civil power, and will accom-
| plish the publication Of the public SER
| vice. and especially that he Govern
| ment which we love will be free from
| reproach or stain of secronal agitation
or malice in any shape or form. Rejoic-
Jog In, n,eommon with the masses OF the
| American people upon this bright prom
| ise for the futu OF our country, we wish
also to express to you personally the
| assurance of the general esteem and con-
| hdence which have summoned you TO
| this high duty, and will aid you in this
performance. Your fellow citizens,
JOHN W. STEVENSON.
