The Great National Council of the Constitu-
tiOnal Democracy of the Union had az Chica-
go, within this month of July, constituted
TINS committee now before you, by selection
from each OF the several states and Territories
or our country, ana commissioned it as the
Official voice of the party TO declare to You in
fitting terms, and with appropriate ceremony,
not only in testimony of its respect for your
abilities and character, but in p edge of it's
consideration for the interests of the nation
that you have been nominated by that party
of the people to be their candidate for
Vice President of the United States for the
ensuing term Of that exalted trust. That
honorable duty we have jOurneyed hther
from every part of this wide land with pride
and pleasure in this manner to discharge.
The interesting circumstances of that nOn1i-
nation cannot be unknown to you and could
not but be gratifying to the sensibilities of
any right-minded man.
THE HONOR UNsOUGHT.
1t was well understood IN that convention
that such distinction was won,
though unsought and undesired by
you. yet, sir, after many others
were presented your name was suggested,
followed by repeated seconding. Every other
name was withdrawn, and amid universal
acclaim the roll call responded to your
unanimous choice. Then, with burst OF en-
thusiasm, the convention, with the vast sur
rounding assemblage, joined with cheer and
hymn in prolonged outbreak of gratifed
satisfaction. Sir. though Indiana's favorite
citizen may enjoy with just pride peculiar
honor in the distinguished services YOU
have rendered your party, your
State and nation, and may feel
a peculiar attachment for the endearing
qualities Of your heart and mind, be assured
that the Democracy of the nation participates
in that sense of honor and a1ectiOnate regard
in hardly less degree.
CAREER FULL OF honor.
They have witnessed your long and h0nora-
Bile career, sometimes in the faithful perform
ance of high public trusts sometimes nobly
contending as soldier in the ranks for the
principles of constitutional liberty, but al
ways with firm devotion and un-
swerving fidelity to the interests and
rights OF the people; and now they
confidently expect of your patriotism to yield
all pers nal wishes and undertake the
labors of their candidate, as on their part the
people can securely repose upon the ripe eX-
perience of your years and wisdom 30 most
satisfactorily meet all the responsibilities OF
the high Office to which YOU will be called.
The convention felt, as the nation will APP
prove, that it was serving the spirit of the
constitution when it designated for Vice
President citizen worthy and COM
petent to execute the highest function
OF the Chief Magistracy. 1t Is an especial de-
sire OF the Democracy to see you invested
with this particular dignity, because they
know, as all the world now knows, that once
you were rightfully given the title to it by the
people, and wrongfully denied its possession
by the success of the Vaccinations of fraud
and conspiracy, and the vindication of exact
justice will be most complete when you shall
be reelected.
THE COMING VICTORY.
Now that you may be triumphantly man
gurated to your rightful chair of the Office
this sentiment has given direction to per-
sOnal consideration, and the admiration of the
Democracy. so abundantly manifested in the
recent convention. will stir a responsive throb
in the hearts of all good men. In finishing the
grateful Office which the partial favor of these
gentlemen, my distinguished associates, has
assigned to me, permit us, one and all, to ex-
press the highest esteem and regard. In more
enduring execution OF It's duty the committee
have prepared and personally signed written
communication which the Secretary will now
read.
