TIE RsNRocE.-A learned writer in the
New York Irijlae insists that the Irish
national emblem plant is nothing more
nor less than white clover. In Persia the

been held sacred as an emblem of the
Persian Triads. I'M the fifth century

clover leaf to illustrate the doctrine of
the Trinity. The people, accepting the
doctrine, ever after commemorated the
event by wearing q bunch Of this grass

MIR. ENGL1sH's LETTER.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 30.-Gsntlemea: ]
have the honor to reply to your letter of the
18th inst, informing me that | was unani-
mously nominated for Vice-Presdent Of the
United States by the late Democratic Nation.
al Convention, which assembled at Cincinnati.
AS foreshadowed in the verbal remarks made
by me at the time of the delivery Of your
letter, I have now to say that / accept the
high trust with the realizing sense of its re-
sponsibility, and am profoundly grateful for
the honor conferred. l accept the nomina-
tion upon the platform of principles adopted
by the Convention, which cordially approve,
and I accept it quite as much because of my
faith in the wisdom and patriotism of the
great statesman and soldier nominated on the
same ticket for the Presidency of the United
States. His eminent services to his country,
his fidelity to the Constitution, union and
laws his clear perception of correct principle
Of government as taught by Jefferson, his
scrupulous care to keep the military in strict
subordnation to the civil authorities, his
high regard for civil liberty, personal rights
and lights of property, his acknowledged
ability in civil as we'll as military affairs, and
his pure and blameless life, all point to him
as man worthy of the confidence Of the
people. Not only brave soldier, a great
commander, a wise statesman and pure pa.
triot, but prudent, pains taking, practical
man, of unquestioned honesty, trusted often
with important public duties, faithful to ev-
ery trust, and in full meridian of ripe and
vigorous manhood, he is, in my judgment,
eminenty fitted for the highest position on
earth-the' Presidency of the United States.
Not only is he the right man for the place,
but the time has come when the best interests
of the country require that the party which
has monopolized the Executive Department
of the General Government for the last twen-
ty wears should be retired. The continuance
Of that party in power four years longer
would not be beneficial to the public or in
accordance with the spirit Of our Republican
institutions. Laws entail have not been fa-
vored in our system Of Government. Perpet-
uation of property or place in one family or
set of men has never been encouraged in this
country, and great and good men who framed
our Republican Government and its tradi.
tions, wisely limited the tenure of office of
long leases Of power, Twenty years of con-
tinuous power is long enough and has already
led to irregularities and oorruptions, which
are not likely to be properly exposed under
the same party that perpetrated them.
Besides it should not be forgotten that the
four last years of power held by that party
were procured by discreditable means, and
held in defiance of the wishes of a Majority
