ment of the powers rightfully belonging
to it under the Constitution.
Encroachments upon the constitutional
rights Of the General Government or in
reference with the proper exercise of its
powers, must be carefully avoided. The
Unien of the States under the Constitu>
ton must be maintained, and it is known
that this has always been the position of
both candidates on the Democratic Presi-
dental ticket. 1t is acqulesced in every
where now, and finally and forever set>
tied as one of the results of the war. 1t
is certain beyond all question that the
legitimate results of the war for the
Union will not be overthr0wn should the
Democratic ticket be elected. In that
event, he proper protection will be given
in every legitimate way to every citizen,

do not doubt the success of the Demo-

beyond resurrection sectional jealousies

chief stock in trade of pestiferous dema~
gogues, and IN no other way can this be
so eiftcrually accomplished. 1t would

GsulidozIng Young Women.

Some of the young women employed
in the costic- soda department OF the
PENNSYLVANIA Salt works, at Southwark,
declared their sympathies for the Demo
cratic candidate last week by chalklng
on large tank standing near the builds
ing these words
OUR CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT,
GEN. WINFIELD S. HANCOCK.
HANCOCK FOREVER.
The circumstance was reported to the
Superintendent of the works, who imme>
diately ordered that the girls who had
expressed their political preference should
erase the name at once. None Of the
dozen female employees, however, would
give the uame of the offenders, and the
Superintendent finally decreed that they
must either wash off the words or walk
off themselves. Upon this announce
ment one and all declared they would
leave rather than obey such command,
whereupon they were ordered to GO

handkerchiefs were waved and three r0us-

Enslish's Letter,

INDIANAPOLIS, July 30.--The following
is Hon. W. Il. English's letter ol accep>
tance:
Hon. John w. Stevenson, President Of
the Concention ]: Hon. John p Stockton,
Chairman, and other members Of the Conn.,
mittee of NotifcatiOn--GENTLE
have now the honor TO reply to your let
ter of the 18th instant informing me that
was unanimously nominated for the
office of Vice President of the United
States by the Convention which assem>
bled at Cincinnati. As foreshadowed in
the verbal remarks made by me at the
time of the delivery of your letter,
have now to say that l accept the high
trust with u realizing sense of its respon~
sibility, and am profoundly grateful for
the honor conferred. accept the nomi
nation upon the Platform of Principles
adopted by the Convention, which l corr
daily approve, and accept it quite as
much because of nv faith in the wisdom
and patriotism of the great Statesman
and soldier nominated the same tick ct
or President of the United States. His
eminent service for his country, his fidel>
ity to the Constitution, the Union and
the laws; his clear perception of the corr
rect principles of government as taught
by Jef1erson, his scrupulous care to keep
the military in strict subodination to
the civil authorities his high regard for
civil liberty. personal right and rights of
property; his acknowledged ability in
civil as we'll as military affairs. and his
pure and blameless life; all point to him
as a man worthy of the confidence of the
people; not only brave soldier, great
commander, wise Statesman and pure
patriot. but prudent, painstaking, prac-
tcal man otunquestloned of honesty; trusted
often with important public duties; faith
full to every trust and in the full meridian
of ripe and vigorous manhood, he is in
my Judgment fitted for the highest pos
stion 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 monop-
olized the Executive Department of the
General Government for the last 20 years
should be retired. The continuance Of
that party in power. years longer
would not be beneficial to the Republic
Or in accordance with tie spirit of our
Republican institutions The laws of
entail have not been favored in our sys>
tenn of government. The perpetuation
of property or place in one family or set
of men has never been encouraged IN this
country, and the great and good men
who founded our Republican Govern
ment and its traditions wisely limited
the tenure of office, and in many ways
showed their disapproval of long lease
of power Twenty years Of contlnusu:
power is long enough, and has already
led to irregularities and corruption:
which are not likely to be properly ex.
posed under the same party that perpe
trated them. Besides, it should not b.
forgotten that the last four years o.
power held by that party were procured
by discreditable means and held in def
