QUESTIONS O.. PRECEDENCE.

Who shall be first? was the nuestio
Asked by some doHbters of old;
Sharply tie gGestion was answered
Quickly the queriSts were told
That they must mend their manners
Ere they could enter the fold.
Proudly the Hancock banner
Waves III the light OF the sun;
Eut, to advance it to triumph,
Resoltlte work must he done.
Ye who would strive for precedence,
Wait till the victory's Won!
Hundreds Of m7u TO your army
Daily your leaders name draws;
Not for tue loaves ana the fishes,
Not for reward or applause;
Asking one privilege oniy,
Asking to fight for the cause.
Follow their noble example,
Bury your squthbles from si5ht,
Work for this single precedence,
Who shall be first in the fight?
Thus you can prove your proves;
Thus yoa can show your might.
Who shall be first? is question
Wise men will gladly postpone,
Bearing a frremau's true ballot,
And looking to triumph alone;
Else they may get for their folly
Instead of Il fish, a stone.

To Hon. John W. Stevenson, President of
the Convention, Hon. John p. Stockton,
Chairman, and other members of the
Committee of Notification:
GENTLEMEN-I have now the hon
or to reply to your letter Of the 18th
instant, informing me that l was
unanimously nominated for the Office
of Vice President of the United
States by the late Democratic Con-
vention which assembled at Cincin-
natl, Ohio. AS foreshadowed in the
verbal remarks made by me at the
time of delivery of your letter, l
have now to say that accept the
high trust with realizing sense of
its responsibility, and am profound
ly grateful for the honor conferred.
l accept the nomination upon the
platform of principles adopted by
the convention, which l cordially
approve, and 1 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 President of the
United States. His eminent servi-
ces to his country; his fidelity to the
Constitution, the Union and the
laws; his clear perception of the
correct principles of Government, as
taught by Jefferson; his scrupulous
care to keep the military in strict
subordination to the civil authori
ties; his high regard for civil liberty
personal rights and the right Of
property; bis acknowledged ability
in civil as well as military affairs
and his pure aud blameless life, al
