The Call Upon Coz. Titdem.
New YORK, July 1.-THE national Demo-
cratic committee, on reaching Gov. Tilden's
residence, Gramercy Park, were received by
Henry Tilden, the ex- governor brother, Sena-
tor Herman, August Schell aud others. When
nir. Tilden appeared, looking unusually well,
ax-Gov. Stevenson addressed him as follows:
Mr. Tilden The convention of the American
Democracy on the 22d OF June last, met at Gin
cinnati, spd nominated Winfield Scott Han
cock, of Pennsylvania, for President, and Will
liam II. English, of Indiana for Vice President.
The committee charged with the duty of
informing those eminent statesmen of the high
trust which has been committed to them, per-
formed that duty yesterday. The gentlemen
who composed that committee nov surround
YOU. Having notified the nominees who the
people intended to elect in the ides of Novem-
ber next, President and Vice President of the
United States their duty would not have been
but half performed without waiting in person
upon You and rendering the homage of the en-
tire American people to him who in 1876 was,
by a large majority, elected President of the
United States. The fact that you chose, in
order to avoid
CIVIL STRIFE AND BLooDsHED
by d noble self-denial to forego execution of
the duties of chief magistrate of the American
republic thus delegated to You, and from which
you were disposessed by conspiracy founded on
force and fraud and by crime against free
representative self-government, does not in any
manner detract from the high honor and conf
dence of the American people IN your wisdom,
virtue and capacity to exercise the high trust
and duties Of that responsible position.
In refusing to allow your name to
20 before the national convention as candi-
date for President in the approaching
election, you have taken from the people the
privilege OF electing you econd time to the
presidency of the United States, and of vim
dicating in your person the
CRIME COMMITTED on THE CONSTITUTION,
by conspiracy founded on force and fraud, in
cefusing to give effect TO the voice of the peo-
pie sin calling you in 1876 to execute the
high trust of President of the United States.
Those acts of self-denying patriotism on your
part have endeared you to the confidence and
regard of lovers of American free government
throughout the I niOn.
For those traits OF self-denial and pat
riotism the Democracy Of the United States
pray to the Almighty power that your life may
he prolonged tor many, very many years; more
particularly that you may live to see this coun-
try and its constitutional government relieved
from the many incumbrances heaped upon 1t,
as we'll as
perpetrated upon the people by an overwhelm-
ing defeat next November of the Republican
party, / speak not only the voice of this commit
tee but the voice of the.
Democratic party throughout this
broad land who unite in paying you
homage simply because of your patriotism,
virtue and exalted craftsmanship. We know
That the country and constitution would have
been as safely guarded by You as by Jefferson
and jackson, had you been installed Presi-
dent.
The speaker here read a resolution in refer
ence to Mr.. Tilden, passed by the Cincinnati
convention. MIR. Stevenson then concluded:
This document expresses but the true senti-
ment of every single mem Der of the Democrat
ic party in the whole country. / now hand it
to you, aud permit me to say, that think you
ought to feel proud of it. You have oar best
wishes for your continued health and prosper
ity
MR. TILDEN's REPLY.
In reply, Mr.. Tilden spoke as follows: Mr..
Stevenson, president of the Democratic national
conventional thank you for the kind terms in
which you have expressed the communication
you make to me. The salution which enables
the Democratic party of the Uuited States to
vindicate the right of the people to choose
their chief magi'traLe, right
violated in 1876, and at
the same time relieves me from the burden
of the convass, and four years of administra-
ton, is most agreeable to me. My sincere
gooi wishea and cordial co operation, as pri-
vate citizen, attend the illustrious soldier
whom the Democracy have designated as their
standard bearer in the presidential canvass. 1
congratulate you on the favorable prospects
with which that canvass has been commenced,
and the promise it affords of complete and
final success.
The members of the committee were then
introduced to Mr.. Tilden individually, and
aOon after took their leave
