which you have selected me as a candi

1118 Letter of Acceptance
To General Joseph R. Hawley, Presi
dent National Union Republican Con
vention : In formally accepting the
nomination of the National Union Re
publican Convention of the 21st of
May inst., It seems proper that some
statement of views beyond the mere ac
ceptance of the nomination should be
'expressed. ' The proceedings of the
Convention were marked with wisdom,
moderation and patriotism, and I be
lieve express the feelings of the great
mass of those who sustained the coun
try through its recent trials. I indorse
the resolutions. If elected to the office
of President of the United States, it
will be my endeavor to administer all
the laws in good faith,
with economy,,
and with the view of giving peace,
quiet, and protection everywhere. In
times like the present it is impossible,
or at least eminently improper, to lay
I /
down a policy t be adhered to, right
or wrong, thro gh an administration of
four years , ew political issues, not
foreseen, are constantly arising ; the
Wows of the public on old ones are con
stantly changing, and a purely admin
istrative officer should always be left
free to execute the will of the people.—
I always have reected that will, and

Tho Soldiors and Sailors
It is announced that a Convention
of soldiers and sailors is to meet in the
Cooper Institute upon the 4th of July
to confirm and sustain the Democratic
Convention ai Tammauy Hall upon the
same day.
Let the soldiers and sailors reMemb i er
that five yegs ago this same day was
one of the most painful national anxie
ty, for it was known at an early hour
that the Army of the Potomac was en
gaged with Lee, and that at any mo
ment the final struggle of the Western
armies for Vicksburg and Port Hudson.
might begin. -On that day the Union
soldiers and sailors in the field were
truly America herself. Their defeat
would have been an incalculable disas
ter for the country, for liberty, for civi
lization. The duty of every generous,
patriotic man was plain. It was to 12in
in sending to the front ono great, hair
ty, sublime chorus of sympathy and en
couragement, that the brave men might
know in the midst of the - sharp strug
gle that they w6re in the minds 4nd
hearts and upon the prayerful lips of
their brethren at home.
Upon that day as now there was a
great Democratic meeting at the Acade
my of Music close to the new Tam
', many Hall. Chief among the speak
ers was Horatio_Seymour, then Gover
nor of the State and now as then one
of Hie chief leadees of his party. Ho
said that the authorities which were
directing the armies in the field and
had taken measures to recruit them
were despots and tyrants; that the fun
damental principles of the Government
Were in danger—not from the rebels üb
on the hills of Gettysburg and intrencli
ed in Vicksburg and Port Hudson—but
from the lawful authorities ; that . the
arrest of Vallandightun for exhorting;
(active resistance to Tecruiting the ar
mies in the field was the destruction of
every precious right,of American citi
zens, and that the d'ifly hope of the
country against anarchy and ruin was
Vallandigham's party. Then, speak
ing
to thousands of the most lawless
and ignorant of men in a moment of
unparalleled excitement and of the ut
most gloom and doubt as to the issue of
the war, he - warned the Government
that :the plea of. military 'necessity
might be urged by a mob as well as by
a Government ; and ,then sneeringly
asked, amidst the shouting applause of
his Democratic audience, "Where are
the victories that were promised for to-
day ?" • I
And even while' he I asked his con
temptuous question, at Gettysburg and
Vicksburg the air was thick with bat
tle smoke, the ground was soaked with
,heroic blood, fiery charge after charge
was crumbling the :ebel lines, and
thousands of brave men were falling
for the salvation of the country. But
not one solitary word which fell that
day, from the lips of Horatio Seymour,
or, Thomas H. Seymbur, or Richard 0'
Gorman, who called the war wicked,
was a word of sympathy, or cheer, or
faith, or hope, or gratitude to' the sol
diers, or would have consoNd the woun
ded or dying boy upon the field. A
few days later, stimulated by the ap
peals of the Governor, the draft riots be- '

to keep faith with them, or to betray
the cause for which you fought ? Do
you come to support thos who derided'
you as Lincoln hirelings, and to give
the hand of fellowship to those who de
nounced the war as wicked ?' "Where
are the victories that were promised ?"
sneered Horatio Seymour. You helped
to win them ; will you maintain them ?
And will you maintain them by sup
porting those who supported you and

AN EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE
The elements which entered into,
combined, and made up the New York
Convention of Saturday, were about es
diverse ns those which combined to
make up the Philadelphia Convention
of lachrymose mernory, • It is not fair
to say that it was made up of "a little
oreverything and not much of any
thing,'' be - cause them.was a good deal
of some things, especially of unrecon
structed and-unrepentant rebels. From
the Palmetto State Came up to that Con
vention Wade Hampton; M. L. Bon
ham, Judge Aldrich, James' Chestnut,
Barnwell 'nett, and John L. Manning.
The first was a general the rebel ar
my ; Bonham, who seceded frc.m Con
gress in 1801, was ft member of the Con
fedeiate Congress, and Governor of
South Carolina during a portion of the
rebellion ; Judge Aldrich was last year
removed from otlice by-Gen. Canby, for
open hostility to the Government;
Chestnut was a member of the rebel'
Congress ; _Ellett was the most persist- .
put leader in the secession movement,
and is to-day, and will continue to be
to the end of his life, a most malignant
enemy of the Government. Manning
was a- member of the South Carolina
Secession Convention in 1800-61, and
one of the foremost advocates of seces
sion.' So much for South Carolina and
the antecedents of her delegates to the
1 " Democratic" Convention. How it
could have been ,managed so as to se
lect the worst men, and the most ob
noxious to the people who fought on
this side of the fence during the late
rebellion, we cannot conceive; unless,
as we suspect, the ex-rebel chiefs are
what may be considered the
." beet
holt" of " the Democracy " in the
South. For one we are glad to see the
lines drawn ; because we know that
the parties to this eampaWf will divide
just where they divided in 1861—the
rebels and the bulk of the Northern
Democracy upon one side, and the
Union Army and their backers upon
the other. And so we are to have the
old quarrel over again.
The Tennessee delegation headed by
Forrest, the ,hero of the Fort Pillow
massacre, is not less distinctly rebel.
This man Forrest was a slave-trader and
an outcast from decent society before.
the war. As a soldier he distinguish.'
ed himself tOr barbarity unknown to
civilized warfare. We do not ques
lion the purity of his Democracy, nor
his right to represent his party in that
Convention. On the contra's we do
not fail to see the propriety of his
,ap
pearance for that party. Were Winder
and Wirz living, they, too, would have
put in an appearance for the Democracy
of their respective Districts. But for
the fact that Jellerson Davis is at liber
ty on bail, tq apPear and defend to a
charge of high treason, he, too, might
have hail a seat in rtbat t;onvention.
The appearance of Vallandiugham was
fully as obnoxious to deeeney Davis's
could have been ; for while we look
upon Vallandingliairi as an honest, and
as frank and free as Lueifer himself,
as he did not prac
tice whathic preached during the war
as thoroughly as Davis did
- ---No;—we do nut question the right of
Forrest to represent the Tennessee de
moc.raby in the-New York Convention.
The issues are about the same us those
• : er
upon. The Re
publielans go into the tight pnder Grant ;
and had the Democracy selected Lee,
or some less pronounced rebel, it could
not have allected the real issues of the
struggle. The nomination made carries
us back to the morning - when Grant
crossed the Rapidan. The men who
sustained him in field and in council
then, rally under his leadership to
day. The men who led the armed reb
els against his lines then, and the
northern traitors who. encouraged them
and traduced him, are arrayed against
- him as the candidate of the Republi
can party to-day: So history repeats
itself, if
,not in precise form, then in
substance. Nor is this - unnatural.—
There can be hut two parties in such a
struggle as that in which we are en
gaged. Not, a man who opposed rais
ing, organizing and maintaining the
Federal armies will vote for Gen. Grant.
Not a man who sought to destroy the
credit of the nation during its trial by
battle will vote fpr him. Not a man
who exulted over the defeat of the
Union armies, and 'belittled their suc
cesses, will vote for 'him. Not a man
who has detended the usurpations of
Andrew Johnson will vote for him.
And not a man who has been engaged
in persecuting and murdering the Un
ion men of the South will vote for him.
All these men, com Posing what is now
known as the Democratic party, will
go solidly against Grant & Colfax, and,
in so far they may he voters, for their
opponents. Besides these, they will be
opposed every disfranchised rebel,
from Jell J):iv - down ; and the people
o the North have now to decide wheth
.er they will concede at the polls what
armed treason could not secure for the
Schttlii--practical separation front the
North, and the consequent abolition of
free institutions., The man who sees
nothing in political struggles of the
last eight years,—from which that now
before us does not differ iii substance—
but partisan anibi6on fe nci n g by
cliques, is but a pot-house politiian, to
whom but one prinCiple ever presents
itself—plunder. We shall adinit that,
superficially viewed, the contest is made,,
for control of the patronage; but con
trol of the patronage involves a control
of the legislature,' and foreign and do
mestic policy of the Government. We
must look beyond the pettiness of the
contest, as waged by the pure mercen
aries of both parties, to the certainties
o change and progress, or change and
disin egi;ation, which loom up beforethe
clear vision, as results of the triumph
of one or the other party thereto. We
cannot say that this shall be the cul
minating contest. No man knoWs that.

Correction
Editor of the Agitator: Your 'notice of the
Camp Meeting 0 East Charleston in last week's
paper conveys to those 'who were not there a very
false, and to those who were there as participa
tors, a very unpleasant impression.
,The attendance on the week days varied from
400 to 800. That on Sabbath probably did not
exceed at the outside 3000.
Tho meeting was a decided success, About
20 persons—mostly adults, professed conversion.
and the worshippers were greatly revived and
blessed. Christians of various religious ..denomi
nations united heartily in the services and pro
fessed to be edified.
I saw in one prayer meeting, in a tent at which
70 or 80 persons were present, -Methodists, Pres
byterians, Baptists and Episcopalians, enjoying a
most delightful season of Christian Communion,
and seeming to be of ono heart and ono soul.
The results of the meeting can be hardly be
estimated) by the mere mention of the uumbers
reported as "converted." The churches repre
sented were much revived, and a deep religious
awakening pervades tho entire community in
which the Camp Meeting was held, necessitating
the holding of religious services twice, daily, at
the church near the grounds; at which even more
have professed conversion than at the Camp
meeting itself.
Your notice says "as usual on such occasions
there has been disorder and excess on the part of
those who do not go to such places for good."—
To the credit of the class named I will say, that
we saw or beard of no such "disorder" or "ex
cess"—the utmost order and quiet prevailing
throughout the meeting or if there were excep
tions they were ton slight to be noticed. And I
ant not aware that "disorder and excess" ore
"usual on such occasions." Yours .te.,
