GENERAL : A convention of the peop'e sit ting at the city of Cleveland, in the Stare ot Ohio, on the 31st day of May, 1864, have nominated you unanimously and by acclama tion as a candidate for President of the Uni ted States. The convention have appointed as their Committee, with instructions to communi cate to you the result of their deliberation, sud to ask your acceptance of the nomina tion. In discharging this duty the committee need hardly inform you, general, that the convention which has thus put you in nomi nation for the office of President, represent ed that great mass of the nation which hold in practice as well as in theory to the funda mental doctrine of its founders, that all men have the inalienable right to life, property, and the pursuit of happiness, and that slave ry and caste are incompatible with irs enjoy ment, and ough not to be suffered to exist. The convention, true to its faith in the common brotherhood of man and of govern merit by all the people for ail the people, adopted a series of resolutions which the committee submit for your consideration, go ing in some Scne to expie-s the views which they hold in unison with those of the radical democracy of the nation upon some of the main issues to be tried before the people at the coming presidential election. That they do not cover sp cificaliy every point of the political frith of the radical do moeracy of the country, or do not d. fine per in;; -i as sharply as they might have been made to do, the radical views of the conven t n up<-a tne subjects presented, is, after all, ot little importance, for the reason that the illustrious nominee ol the convention for President is the living embodiment of all its principles of government and civil and mill tary a Iwinistration which has called into be lli! the political organization that has ma ;e you, general, its standard bearer. Y ur own high character for fidelity to the ••fl ;al f'glits of all the people, and the signal juoofs you have given to thy world of the i* ssesMonof the statesmanship a d wisdom necessary to govern well and jostiv, and ot the generalship so sorely needed to carry the war in a quick and triumphant issue, arc a !>• lUr guaranty that the principles you repre ss ' wilt not be betravod, should the nation < vuUi you tn i, A chief magistracy, than any ••r.iten profession of political faith, however A;,. . o .y drawn and gravely accepted, with tut r.t to be broken. L-t t.ie c lventioti, in what they have <• ive substantially covered "the whole g- ..ii- I ofiije political faith of the radical i ( Hiocracy, in asserting the necessity for re estahhshuig the supremacy of the federal Un for the faithful ex-cutio > of the laws of T.i L uited States ; fur maintaining the lib cities of perun, speech, and press, except when suspended by martial law; for sup presbir.g the rebellion by force of arms and without compromise; for amending the Con i'itulicn eo as to abolish and prohibit slavery fore ret ia the United States, and securing to all men absolute equality before the law; for integrity and economy in the adminisi.ati • n of the national government ; for upholding the t ight of asylum r except for crime and of fens?* against international law ; for the vin dication of the Moui oe doctrine, bv declar ing anew the determination of the American people not to tolerate the setting up of an<. anti republican government on this continent by any foreign power; for insisting upon ap plying the one term principle to the office of I'rest lent, and amending the Ceastitutioh, so as lo provide for the election of that officer hy a direct vote of the whole people : for re stricting the power of reconstructing rebell ious s'ates to the people through their repre scii'aiives in Congress; and for confiscating the lands of rebels, and distributing them among the soldiers and actual settlers. W hat these principles would tnean in prac tice the convention clearly declared, general, whan they put you upon them as their can didate for President, for they knew and the country knows, that you willjfelected, faith fully carry them out to all their logical c> n scqnences without fear or favor, and give the Country an administration of public affairs, that will command the affections of the whole people and reptore it to its former high place in the scate of nations. J'ahaps we may best illustrate the tern per of the convention by referring you to the letter of Mr, Wendell Phillips, tho reading ot which ordered and received with a storm of applause. We ferl authorized to declare it as our opinion, that had it been offered as a platform of the pi inciples of government and administration, it would have been adopted with the same tumultu ous applause as that which hailed your nom ination. Its masterly exposition of the needs of the country in thi dark crisis of its ex istence and struggles for continued life is a fitting commentary upon the purposes ot the convention, and we commend it to your cou sidcratioo as a part of taeir deliberations. And now, general, hating discharged our duty imposed on us by the convention, we trut yoq will fayor us with an early reply, "TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RIGHT. "—Thomas Jefferson. TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 1864. signifying j'our acceptance of the nomination jn order that the radical democracy of the North, whose hearer have already been thrill ed with joy at the tidings that their heroic leader in the campaign of 1856. has been, summoned to the field agam, may hear his clarion voice T allying them to victory and the salvation of the republic.

G ENIT,EMEN ; In answer to the letter, which I have had the honor to receive from you, on the part of the representatives of the people assembled at Cleveland, the 31st of May, 1 desre to express rny thanks for the confidence which led them to offer me the honorable and difficult position of their can didate in the approaching presidential elec tion. Very honorable, because in offering it to me, you act in the name of a great number of citizens, who seek above all things the good of their country, and who have no sort of selfish interest in view. Very difficult, because in accepting the cand oacy von pro pose to me, I sm exposed to tin reproach of cresting a rchism in the party w ill which I have been identified. Hud Mr Lincoln remained faithful to the principles he was elected to defend, no schism culd have been created and no contest w>u have set for me. V ith my earnest and sincere thanks for vour expressions >f confidence and regard, and (or the many honorable term? in which you acquaint trie with the actions of the com mil tee ery respectfully and truly yours.

GENF.RAL: ihe convention sitting at Clcye lan 1, on the 31st ultimo, having unanimously n uninated y>mmuni cate to you the result of their deliberation and to ask of jou the acceptance of the nom mat ion". We need pot tell t on, general, of the radi cal character of that convention, (or you were us worthy presiding officer; nor need we refer particularly to the resolutions which were adopted as the basis of the now pollti cal organization which the necessities ol the times have called into being. You know them all ; and your outspoken indorsement of the position taken by the convention as well as your eminent of freedom through a Song career of nsefulltiess, won fir you that confidence ci the convention which resulted iu electing you as a candidate for the high office of Vice-President. The war, general has swept away all old party tics, and he who is wise enough to ap preciate this fact, and range himself on the side of his itnperrilled country, deserves the confidence of all patuots. Amongst the thousands of Democrats who have thus shown their wisdom, no man of your ancient p lit ical faith in the nation baa taken a high er or nobler stand than yourself, and to this fact the convention was keenly aMve. When the war broke out, you took the field again-t the common enemy, and led our brave soldiers to battle on many a hard fought field in which you showed yourself the true soldier. And when it was the fash ion of the government to respect the rights of rebels to their slaves, and thus to rein force them to the extent, you boldly advoca ted in camp the necessity of depriving the rebellion of the immense resource which slavery conferred upon it, by its destruc tion. Your fellow citizens of New York, general, without respect to party, generously remem bered your devotion to the cause of the Coun try aRd humanity, and at the last stale elec tion declared their confidence in you by chosing you one of the highest offices in their gift. With this record, and with your fear, lyss advocacy of the principles of Ike radical democracy before tnem, the convention did not hesitate, but will one accord, called on you to complete the ticket bearing on it tho name of the ihistrious Fremont. In Conclusion general the committee hope you will favor them with your early accepting the n miination, in order that the radical democracy may fling to the breeze at once the invincible flag of freedom, union and independence, and move upon the enemy's wotks without delay, We are, general, respectfully, your friends and servant*, WORTH INGTON G.

GENTLEMEN: I have received your note informing me officially of mv nomination bv the radical Democracy at Cleveland, on the 31st ultimo as their candidate for Vice Pres ident of the United States, on the ticket with John C, Fremont for President, I have been accustomed to regard simply as a dut v perforate 1 what you are p'eased to represent as personally meritorious, and to regret the phs> ical disability which alone withdrew me from the immediate scene of wir. I concur in the action and agree with tho principles of the convention, where by its iwellth resolution, the question of rcct n struction is referred to constitutional action action of the people, it wisely committed to 'hem an issue peculiarly within the province of the future, and nut jet sufficiently croer-. ged from War to warrant positive opinion. While I hive ever suppose ! cofiscation and u-e of the property of an enemy in arm to be a laudable service >f an established and essential rule of civilized war, lam pleasml to observe that the convention, when a*scr: ir.g th justice of the principle, intended to retuit'iis exercise to th# discretion of the people, hereafter manifested through repre scntatives in Congress when considering the paramount question of reconstruct ion,— For, indeed, so blended must be trie various methods—sequestra; n, c .oil-cation, milita ry absorption an.! ■ rauati >o —i at shall hereafter co~ .pi-rate to ov dve order from confu-i..n a: ,d r> ret ir rt the government, that it is difficult if nt impossible now, when affirming the principle, to provide for its applicati* n, T have thr honor, • ntlenfen, to accrpt the tintnina'ion f>r Vie^-Fres:J nt of the U lited States, which you have tendered to me uu der tho direction of 'he convention.

This epoch of iheir life te-einbles that period of a sum uu r morning, known only to early risers, which combines the soft light of the dawn with the magnificent splendor of the full orbed day. In the full pi.>mTse of the daz zling noon is seen the stem ng, sparkling dewdrop, the half blown fl wer, while wood and field and lawn are vocal with the raptu rous songs of birds. Such is the picture of the morning of girl hood, which precedes the glory of true wo manhood, spark'ing with angelic innocence and purity, givng promise of ail those grac es that adorn the affectionate wife, the ten der mother, tho loving sister, and the Chris tian teacher. Amiable, confiding, loving, full of life and good cheer, thinking no evil and fearng nom>, conscious as it were of having that good of which it was said in pos session of Marv, it shall never bo taken from her. Would that these noble graces were proof in all cases, as in the few against the blightning and withering influences of fash ionable life. But alas, they are not, which may be one reasou why they appear so pleas ing at that period of life which we have natn ed. There is no higher ideal of womanhood seen in life than that wh'ch carries thtse qualities of girlhood into the fulness of life As simple, trusting, unaff-ctnd, cheerful, charming as a girl of twelve years, is the best compliment that can possibly be said to wife, mother, or maiden. Sucn never do sire to go to the ballot-box, to sit as judges or to be members of National or State legis lature.
