Utica, August 4, 1808.
Gentlemen : When, in the city of New York,
on the lltji of July, in the presence of a vast
multitude, ou hebail of the National Deniocn.t
ic Conversion, you tendered to me its unani
mous nomination as their candidate lor the
office ol President ol Uie United States, I stated
I had no v«ords “ adequate to express ruy gra i
tutie tor toe good will and kindness which that
body had shown to me. Its nomination was
unsought and unexpected. It was tuy ambi
tion to take au active part, Irom which I am
now excluded, in the greaL struggle going ou
for the restoration of good government, of
peace and prosperity to our country. But I
have been eaugbt up by the whelming tide which
Is bearing us on to a great political change,
an l I find myself unable to resist its pressuie.
Ycu have also given me a eopy ottlie resolu
tions put forth by the convention, showing »is
position upon all the great questions which
now agitate the country. As the presiding
officer of that convention, I atn familiar with
their scope and import; as one of its members
I atn a party to their terms. The}’ are in accord
with my views, and I stand upon them in the
contest upon which we are now entering, and
I shall strive to carry them out in future,
wherever 1 may he placed, in political or pri
vate lilr.”
I then stated that t would send you these
words of acceptance in a letter, as is the cus
tomary form. L see no reason upon reflection
to change or qualify the terms of my approval
oftbe resolutions of the convention.
I have delayed the mere lormat act of com
municating to von in writing what I thus ptib
liclv said, lor the purpose of seeing what light
the'action of'Congrcss would throw upon the
interests of the country. Its acts since the ad
journment, of the convention stiow an alarm
lest a change of - political power will give to Un
people what they ought to have —a clear state
ment of what lias been done with the money
drawn from them during the past eight years.
Thoughtful men feel that, there have been
wrongs in the financial management which
have been kept from the public knowledge.
The Congressional party iris not only allied
itself with military power, which is to be
Drought to bear directly upon the elections m
in uny States, but it, also holds itself in per
petual session, with the avowed purpose of
making such laws as it shall see fl', in view ol
the elections which will take place within u
lew weeks. It did not therelore adjourn, but
took a recess, to meet again if its partisan in
terests sha.il demand its reassembling. Never
before in the history of our country has Con
gress thus take n a menacing attitude towards
Prelectors. Under its influence, some of the
Akiles organized by its agents are proposing to
Mkirtvc <Km. laanis of- the .tight to vuie for
a^^afeeiHsniesti*bv : 1 ire f'gpjls nl suf.'-ugi-. H
Is not s'frahgb,"therefore', that thought till men
pee in such action ihe proof ’that tluTe is with
those who shape the policy of uu JU puMicnti
partv, motives stronger and deeper »i;ad the
mere wish to hold political power ; (hat then:
is a dread of some exposure which drives them
.on to nets so desperate and impolitic.
Many of the ablest leaders and journals of
the Republican party have openly deplored the
violfci.ee of Congressional action and l«* f'-n
--denev to keep up discord in our country. The
great, ict forests of our Union demand peace, Ol
der and a return to those industrial pursuit?,
without wC'ch we cannot maintain the faith op
honor ol <> " r Government. The minds of
business men n're perplexed by uncertainties.-
The hours ot tor' o» our laborers are lengthen
ed bv the costs «>f living mad" by lie- dlre.-t
and indirect ex.-VlUm- ot government. Our
people rc liurrasseJ ty the heavy and frequent
demands of the tax-gmborer. V/ithout ■
Unction of party there is a strong feeling in i >-
vor ot that line of action which shall restore
order and confidence, and shall lilt off the bur
dens which now hinder and vex the industry
01 " the country. Yet at this moment those ui
pow er have thrown into the Senate chamber
and Congressional Jlall new elements ot dis
cord and violence. Men have been admitted es
represent.dives of some of tb<- Southern State.-,
with ihe declaration upon their lip? that limy
cannot live m the States they claim to UWc
sent without military protection. These men
are to make law* /or the North as well as the
South. These men, who, a few days sinee,
were seeking as suppliants that Congress
would give them power within their respective
States, are to-day the masters and controllers
of the actions of those bodies. Entering them
with minds tilled with passions, their first de
mands c ive been that Congress shall took
upon its States from which they come
in conditions of civil war; that the uijoripv
of their populations, embracing pair in
telligence, shall be treated as p. die en -
mies; i .at military forces shall be kept up .o
the eci. ot tlie people of ihe Noith, a-,,i
that jmere shall be no peace and order at ti e
South .save that which is made bv a: bitrary
po<ver. Every intelligent man l.t:o»'o tl: ic
these men owe their seats in Congress to the
die. refer in tue South ; every mau ku< >vs tint
they not only owe their present pnspfons to
disorder, but that every motive springing iro:n
the hove of power, of ggjo, of a desire for ven
geance, prompts them to keep the South in
anarchy. While that exists, they are indepen
dent of t.;t» wills or wishes of their h-ifow-cb i
xeiis. White confusion reigns, they are «
dispensers of tl»e profits and the itottors which
prow our ota government of mere force.—
These men are now placed in positions win e
they cannot urge their views of policy, but
where they can enforce then}. When others
sir II be admitted in this manner frOfp the ro
ibh niug Southern States, although they gill
have iu truth bo constituents, they will have
mine power in the Senate than a majority of
the people of this Union living lu ulne ol the
great States. In vain the wisest members of
the Republican party protested against the poli
cy that led to this result. While the chiefs of
the late rebellion have submitted to the results
of the war, and are now quietly engaged in
useful pursuits for the support of themselves
and their families, and are trying by the force
of their example to lead back the people of
the South to the order and industry, not only
essential to their well-being, but to the great
ness and prosperity ol our’"comiJjon eounlry,
we see that those who, without ability influ
ence, have been thrown by the agitations </*
divi! convulsion into positions of honor and
prc*tit, are striving to keep alive she passions to
whic.h they owe their elevation. And they
clamorously insist, that they arc the only fWojjds
of our Un. ion — a Union that can only have a
sure foundation <» fraternal regard and a com
mon desire to p roruote the peace, the order and
the happiness of fu\! sections of our laud.
Events in Congress since the adjournment
of the convention have Va K, '.V increased the
importance of a political victory hv those who
are seeking to bring back economy, simplicity
and justice iu the administration of our - Ra
tional aflairs. Many Republicans have hereto
fore clung to their party who have regretted
the extremes of violence to which it hasrnn.
They have cherished a faith that while the
action of their political iriends baa been mis
taken, their motives have been good. They
must now see that the Republican party is in
that condit ion that it cannot carry out a wise
and peaceful policy, whatever its motives may
be. It is a misfortune, not only to a country,
but to a governing party itself, when its action
is unchecked by any form of opposition. It
has been the misfortune of the Republican
party that the events ot the past few years have
given |t so much power that it has been able to
shackle the executive, and tramttorl the judi
ciary, and n carry out ibe views of ;be most
unwise and violent of us members. When ibis
6tate of things exists in any party, it'hu? ever
been found that the sober judgments of its
ablest leaders do not control. There is hardly
an able man who helped to build up the Re
publican org.iu’ziHioii who has within the past
three years warned it against its excesses, who
has not been borne down and forced to give up
bis convictions of what tint ftfteresls 01 the
country cibed lor; or, il 100 patriotic to do
this, who has not been driven from Its ranks.
If! Ims has lice:' the. ease heretofore, what will
be its action now with this new in.iision of
m n who, without a decent r sped tor ibe
vi rwe <d those who had just-given them their
positions,: begin their legislative career with
calls for arms, with demands that their States
sl all ha regarded as in a condition of civil war,
,ut and with a declaration that they are ready ami
anxious to degrade the President of the Unwed
States whenever they can persuade or force
C’oncres.- jto bring f i-v ard new article., of tm

The R-pi.b.i -an p.ii'! v. as v, IS as we, .e i.;-
teresti.i in putting some cheek upon mis vio
lence. 1. mu-t be clear to every thiukin- mm'
that a dtuei m ol poiitkal power tend-.- to
check the violence ol i •.ri v action and. • o-es-: e
the peace and got-d order ol society. The i e -
tionotaD Kb .a-a.ie Executive and a mnjori-.y
ot D inocr nic rocuiie rs to the House of Re;-
reseulaliye, would nor give to that party or
ganization the power to make sudden or vio
lent changes, but. it would serve to cheek ibo-e
extreme measures which have been deplored by
the best men ot both political orc aiiza ions.
T ie result would most eertaiulv lead to that
p aeelul restoration of ill - Union and re-esuo
li; hment of iraterual reh tie- slop which Lie
country desires. lam sure that the --i men
ol the Republican party deplore at? deeply as I
do the spirit of vioieaice. shown by those re
cently admitted to seats in Congress from l ie
South. The condition <d civil war which they
contemplate must be abhorrent to *e wry right
thinking man.
1 have no mere personal wishes which mis
lead ray jndgraent in regard to the pending
election. No man who has weighed and
measured Hie duties of the office of President
oi the United States, cm tail to be impressed
with the cares and toils of him who is to meet
its demands. It is not merely to float with
popular durroids, without a policy or a pur
pose. On the contrary, while our Oonstilm ion
gives just: weight to i lie. public will, its distin
guishing feature is that it seeks to protect the
rights ot minorities. Its greatest glory is that
it pnts restraints upon power. It. gives force
and form to those maxims and principles of
(ivil liberty for which the martyrs of freedom
have struggled through ages. It, declares the
right of the people
“ to be secure in their persons, houses and
papers, against unreasonable searches and
seizures. That.Conge -•« shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion or the
fr o excroi. thereof, oi abridging l lie irecdom
ol speech or of the pres-, or’the right of Hie
people to petition for redress of grievances, it
secures 'Bv. fight •.-•{ a -speedy and public trial
bv an imp Ttial jury.”
No m.Mj cn rightl""y enter upon the duties
of the Presidential office, unless he is not only
willing trt carry out the wishes of the people
ex pro se<i in a eon- liMvion and way, hut is also
prepared to stand up for the rights of minori
ijer. He must be ".;dy to uphold ibo free e;.-
efeise of religion. lie must denounce measures
wliiell would wrong person and or bourn rights,
or the religious conscience of the bnmbli st cit

AUGUSTA, (Ga,) SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 9, 1868
(From the St, Joseph (Mo.) Herald, July 29.
Grant andShermanin Missouri.
Ulysses S. Grant, General of tbe Armies of
the United Stales, and Republican candidate
for tbe Presidency in tbe pending election, ac
companied bv Lieut. Gen. William T. Sherman,
Maj. Gen. Philip H. Sheridan, and Brevet.
Brig. Gen. Frederick T. Dent, arrived in this
city last evening by the St. Joseph and Council
Bluff, Railroad. As soon as information was
rectiv and that our city was to be honored by
the presence of the distinguished Generals, steps
were taken by the Grand Array of the Republic
and our citizens generally to give them a
suitable reception. At 7 o’clock onr citizens
began to assemble at. the foot of second street,
amt when the expected train arrived the crowd
was immense. Ait least 0,000 citizens were gath
ered together—probably the largest assemblage
ever seen in our city.
At 9 o’clock the (Jouucil Bluff's train arrived
at the depot. The visitors were met by a
committee of the Grand Armv of the Republic,
and esCorted through a line of old soldiers to
the carriages, and hastily drawn through the
surging crowd to the Pacific House. Duriug
the r •eeptiou a national salnte wa= fired, while
ocel: ..s blazed and signal ligats loomed up in
..Si dirterffJns. Grant and Sherman were seated
Ii Cmfiff’s open barouche, drawn by lour
. v'.rii* cl horses, ate crowd clinging closely to
na carriage from the depot to the Lord.
Be to re the vi-itors had been escorted from the
carriage to the hotel, Third street was iairiy
blocked with people—in tael the streets were
densely packed in the vicinity ot the Pacific
House. The office and lower bails or the hotel
Were at once tilled to suffocation, and the pres
ence of a strong guard alone kept the crowd
irom rushing into the reception room ou the
second floor.
The Generals, soon after their arrival, made
their appearance on the balcony. Their appear
ce created great excitemen', and lor a long
time !he shouts were deafening.
Gen. Grant was introduced r<-. r.fie vest cowd
hv Col. Harbine. The announcement, was re
ceived wiiii tremendous applause. After the
excitement had been somewhat quieted, Gen.
Grant addressed the crowd as follows :
GEN. grant's speech.
“1 return my sincere thanks for this hearty
reception. 1 have been traveling for two weeks,
every day, and n.ost, of the time at night, over
mountains, visiting this Western country, which
lam now seeing for the first time. lam fa
tigued, weary, dusty, and unable to address
you. I thank you, but I cannot speak to you
this evening.”
The speech of Gen. Grant, brief as it was, was
interrupted by the most boisterous applause,
mingled with bootings, groans and cheers for
Seymour aud Blair. The proprietor of the Pa
cific House, and several other gentlemen, then
appeared on the balcony and attempted to in
form Hie crowd that as soon as Generals Grant
and Sherman had pirtuken of refreshments,
they would again make their appearance ; hut
few, however, heard their words, so violent
were the cheers and groans for Grant and Sey
mour, respectively.
After loud calls', Gen. Sherman appeared on
the balcony, and attempted to deliver an ad
dress, ’His appearance was greeted with tre
mendous applause. He spoke as follows :
GEN. SHERMAN’S SPEECH.
Gentlemen: I return thanks to von for this
hearty reception. Gen. Grant did not choose
to speak, as be was worn out’by (ravel. [ Loud
cheers for Sc mour ami Blair, with groans and
hooting?."! Ido not desire to advise violence,
but if I was a resident of St. Joseph I would
duck that fellow in the Missouri river. [Con
tinued groans*| Tlvre was a time when peo
ple who wanted to fight could be accommoda
ted : we !?ive them all they wanted. [lncreased
excitement-1 When you learn to beuave your
self I’ll continue my speech. [Cheers aud
groans.{. Well, I’D.cat pny supper and go to
uetl ;,you can do wllai. you
Th 1 distinguished visitors then retired to the
reception room, anil quietly conversed with
the few ftrtunatu ones who were able to pass
tlie guards placed on the lower floor. The vast
crowd confined to shout !or Grant, with fre
quent veils and screams lor Seymour and
Blair. It was at least an hour before the crowd
dispersed.

Let Us Be Cautious.
Every Southern man who was particularly
prominent during tlie late civil war should be
exceedingly caretul (if he will --peak) in the
language he may use. We well know it is a
vi’t y difficult thing to remain quiescent, when
a great struggle, is going ou around us, iuvolv
:ng exciyi eng we consider most precious and
«aered. But it is already pet feci iy evident that
th Radical on .s is eniieavoi ing, by a concerted
movement, as the last desperate effort to avert
rn overwhelming detent, to arouse the passions

during IN’ period of the war.

attacks upop ihe Cqnslitufiori, and their vile

thieving. They can not pretend to encounter
Hie indignation of the people, when it is shown
ttiai they have spent hundreds of millions ol
dollars to establish negrp cojistiluency in the
Southern States, through whose deslruotivo
agency they might fabricate, at the public
expense, a certain number of Radical Con
gressmen and Presidential electors. They
cannot hope to escape the wrathful censure
they so obviously deserve, for having maintain
