party tO elect IA President an unlimited
number of terms, is quite apparent and
must satisfy thinking people that the
time has come when it will be safest
and best for that party to he retired.
But, i'm resisting the encrOachments of
the general government upon the pre-
served rights of the people and the
States, | wish to be distinctly under
stood IA fivOring the proper exercise by
the general government of the powers
rightfully belonging to il under the
| Constitution. Entertainments upon
the Constitutional rights of the general
government, or interference with the
proper exercise of its powers, must be
carefully avoided. The union of the
States under the Constitution must be
maintained, and it is well known this
has always been the position Of both
the candidates on the Democratic Presi-
Dental ticket. IL il acquiesced in every
where now, and finally and forever set
tied rs one of the results of the war. IL
is certain beyond all question that the
/ legitimate results of the war for the
I Union will not be OverthrOwn or i'm
paired should the Democratic ticket be
elected. In that event, proper prOtec-
ton will be given i'm every legitimate
way to every citizen, native or adopted,
| i'm every section Of the republic, i'm the
enjoyment of all the rights guaran-
teed by the Constitution in its amend
ments.
\ sound currency of honest money,
of value and purchasing power cor
responding substantially with the stan
darl recognized by the commercial
world, and consisting of gold and silver
and paner convertible into coin, will be
maintained.
The labor and manufacturing, COM
merciil and business interests of the
country will b, favored and encouraged
in every legitimate way. The toiling
millions of our own people will he pro-
tected from the destructive competition
of the Chinese, and to that end their
immigration to our shores will he prop
erly restricted.
The public credit will be scrupulOusly
maintained and strengthened by rigid
economy in public expenditures, and
the liberties of the people and the prop
erty of the people will lie protected by a
government of law and order, admins
tered strictly i'm the interests of all the
people, and not of corporations or priv
legged classes.
do not doubt the discriminating JUS
tice of the people and their capacity for
intelligent self-gOvernment, and there
fore do not doubt the success OF the
Democratic ticket. Its success would
bury, beyond resurrection, the sectional
jealOusies and hatreds which have so
long been the chief stock in trade OF
demagogues, and in no other way can
this be so effectually accomplished. IL
would restore harmony and good feel
ing between all sections and make us,
in fact as well rs in name, one people.
The only rivalry then would be i'm the
race for the development of material
prosperity, the elevation of labor, the
enlargement of human rights, the pro-
motion of education, morality, religion,
liberty, order, and all that would tend
to make us the foremost nation Of the
earth in the grand march of human
progress. am, with great respect,
Very truly yours,
WILLIAM III. ENGLISH.

of the Conventions; Hon. John Il.
