 GOVERNORS $ .sI.ASD. July %.
 GENTLEMEN: 1 have the honor to acknowl,dse ihe receipt of yonr letter of July 13, apprising me formally oi my nomination to to the office of Pres ideut of the United States by the Ma 'ionaI Democratic Convention, lately asst mhled in Cincinnati. l accept ! the nomination with grateful app e 1 claUon of thr confidence repo>eu m me. The principles rnunciated bA ! the cOhS cniiun are those l have cher 1 ished in the past and shall cndravOr th ! maintain m the fu;ure. The l3ih, 1 l4in nnd 10th amendments tO the con- Stitutisn of the United States eInbody | ing he re-ult Of the war for the Cn- | ion are ipviolabie. If called to The Presidency I should deem il my duty 10 r.sist with all my power any at tempt to To impair or evadc the lull | force and effects oi the constitution which in every article, section and amendment is the supreme law of th" land. The constitution which inrmS the basis of tHe Government "t the ] United States. the powers granted II | tO Ihe legislative. executive ani lndl- l cial departments define and limit the authority of the general governments powers not delegated iO the United States by the constitution, nor pro hibiIed hv it. to States belnngluI 10 States respectively, or to the p"oi'le. inc general aud tn. State governments 1 each acting in is own sDhrr" win ut rrenchiug u on the lawful Jur- isdictl n of others which conStl- tute the Union, this Uni c"mprlS- ing general 2 'vernmcnt with general powers and that goVernmrn' win Stale D lwrr for purpo-es local tu States IS d policy the foundations oi which were laid in Inc pr"f"unde>t wisdom. This is the Union which ou 1 fathers made and which has been so respected abroad and so henehcient at home. Tried by blood and fire 1t stands today a model form of f. er, p.iular government. A political Sys- fem which rightly administered has been and will continue tO be 'he ad- miratinn nf the world. May We nOr SAY nearly in the word> of Washing Ion. the unity of Government which constitutes one people is justly dear to Us. It is the main pillar in the In. ( of our red independence, the support of our peare, safety ani prosperity md of the libe " we so highly prIze, ard intend at evrrs hazard io pre-erve, Eui no form Of government, however care fully dcvised, no princIple~. howev''r sound, will protect the rights of the people unless the administration IS faitnful and efficient. lt IS q vital uriuclple in our system that neither fraud nor force must be allowed tO suhvert the rights of the people when fraud. violence or in"omprtency D. troI. the nnblest constitution and wisest laws arc useless, and the bay onrt is nit instrument for collecting the v.t,-s for freemen. but it x only hv full vote, free balln, and fair count that the p-ople can rUle in fact aS re. ouired hy the theory of our Govern
