many respects to our Christmas, Wien they

tents out of the branches OF trees, aud to keep
the feast in them. And thou shalt reloice III

Hancock. Letter.

.
It is stated at New York than Han
cocks letter Of acceptance is already in
print, and only awaits the arrival of
that Of Mr.. English in order that both
may issue at once. HancOck's letter il
said to be brief and direct to the point:
the following sound, healthy Democratic
doctrinal declaration being embodied in
IT.:
First-That the President duties are
chiefly executive. and that the President
mus, obey the Constitution as the su.
preme Law Of the Hni, and obey aud
enforce the laws OF Congress. whose
duty it is to repeal laws when found
that they beye become obnoxious.
Second-That the political results OF
the war must be accepted aud upheld in
good faith. the constitutional amend
ments and laws enacted in pursuance
thereof. must be fully respected.
Thir,l-The broadest Democratic
ground will Ice taken on tho Chinese
question; that Columbia is tho asylum
aud home Of the oppressed OF all lands,
but she will not tolerate the enslave-
ment OF labor in any form, whether by
foreign 0r local contract.
Fourth-That it is the duty OF the
President; to make recommendation to
Congress in no narrow. but in thor
oughly National sense. aud as local iu-
terests may conflict, the duty of recon.
ciliating matters over which sections
may dispute. belongs to Congress, the
law making power. ..n
