Y., | Juiy 29,1830, GENTLEMEN: I have the honor to acknowler ga the receipt of your letter of the 13:h of July, 1880, spprising we formally of my nomination t» the office of president of the Uited S ates by the natioval democratic convention laely assembled in Cwcnnwi, I acoept the nomination with grateful appr. cistion of the conidence reposed in me. The principles enunciated by the convention are those I have cherished n the past, and shall en- deavor to maintawn in the future. The 13:h, 14th and 16th amendments to the constitution of ths inited States, embodying the results of the war for the Union, are inviolable, If called to the presidency I should deem it my duty to resist with all my power any attempt tc impair or_cvade the full force and effect of the vonstitution, which in every article, section and amendment is the supreme law of the land; the constitution forms the basis of the government f the-Uuited States. Tbe powera granted by it to the legislstive, executive and judicial departments define and limit the a thority of the general government. Powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution, nor prohib- 1ted by 1t to the states, belong to the 5to tes respectively or to the pople. Tao general and stae goveruments each acting in its vie withoui trenching upon ths iwful jaricdistion | of the other, constitutes the Unior, This Uniop, comprisig & genersl government with general powers, and stats governments with state powers for purpoees lycal to the states, is a polity, the foundation of which was d in the profondest wisdom. This is the Union our fathers made, and which hes been 8o respected nbruad and 8o beneficent at home. Tried by blocd and fire it stands to-day a model form of free, popular government, a political eystem which rightly admin- istered has been, and will continue to be, the admiration of the world. May wonot say nearly In the words of Washington, “The unity of govern- ment which constitutes us one people 18 justly dear to us; ¢ is the main pillac in the ed fice of our real inde- pendence, the support of our peace, safety and prosperity, and of that lib- erty wo 8o highly prizo and intend at every hazard to preserve.” But no form of government, however care- fully devised, no principle, however sound, will protect the rights of the people. unless administration is faith- ful and efficlent. 1t fa & vital principle in our system that neither fraud nor force must be allowed to subvert the rights of the people. When fraud, violence or in- competence controls, the nobleat con- stitutions and “sisest laws are useless, The bsyonet isnota fit instrument for col iecting the votes of freemen. Itisonly by a full vote, free ballot and fair count that the people can rule; in fact, as required by the theory of 0 ur government, take this founda- tion away and the whole structure fedls. Public office is a trust, nota Toounty bestowed upon the hclder. No incomretent or dishonest persons should ever be intrusted with it, or, if appointed, they should be promptly eiected. The basis of a substantial, practical civil service reform must first be established by the people in filling the elective offices; if they fixa high etandard of qualifitations for office and sternly reject the corrupt and in- competent, the result will be decisive in governing the action of the ser- vants whom they entrust with the ap- pointingpower. The war for the Un- ion was euccessfully closed more than fifteen years auo; all classes of our people must sherealike in the bles- sings of the Unionand are equally concerned in_its perpetu.ty, and the proper administration of pub.io affuirs; we are in a state of profound pesce, henceforth t be our purpose to culrivate senti ts of friendship and not of anirosity among our fellow. citizens. Our material interests, var- ied and progressive, demand our con stant and united eff rts. Assiduons and scrupulous care of the public cred- it, together with a_wise and economi- cal mausgement of our governmental expenditures, ehould be maintained in order that lsbor maybelightly bur- dened and that all persocs may be protected in their rights to the fruits of their own industry. The timehas come to enjoy the sub- stantial benefit of reconciliation. We are one people, we have common in- terests and let us encourage tbat har- mony and generous rivalry amorg our own cit'zens which will revive our languishing merchant marine; extend our commerce with foreign nations; assist our merchants, manufacturers and producers to dovelop our vastnat- ural resources and increase the pros- perity and happiness of our paople. If elected I shall act with fidelity accord- ing to my convictions aud shall_take care to pfotect and defend the Unlon and toses that th>! - Le fally an’ equally executed sts of the courtry alike. T will ssume sponsibility fully seasiole of the fact that to administer righ'ly ‘he func- tinsof the government is to dis- ehuigthe most sacred duty that can devolve upon an American citizen.

English’s Letter. Bpocial Dispatch to The Bee. Isviaxarous, Ind., July3l, 1a. m.—The following is the letter of ac- ceptance of Wm. H. English, as the nominee for vice premdent by the democracy. GesTLEMEN: —I have now the honnr to reply toyour letter of the 13th inst., informing me that was unani- mous nominated_for the oftice of vice resident o the United Statea by the ate democratio convention, which ss- sembled at Cincinnati, as forethad- owed by the few remarks made by me at the time of the delivery of your letter. Ihave now to say that I ac- cept the high trust, with a realizing sanse of its responsibility and am pro- foundly grateful for the honor con- the re- | forred. I accept the nomination upon tho platform of principlea adopted by the convention, which I cordially ap prove, and I accept it _quitess much becsuse of my fath in the wisdom and patriotism _of the Teat statesman and sol- ier, nominated on the same ticket for president of the United States. His eminent service to hi his fidelity to the cont Union and the laws; his clear percep- tion of the correct princip'es of gov ernment »s taught by Jcff:rson; bis scrupulous care to keep the in strict subordination to civil au- thority; his high regard for civil liberty, personal rights and the rights of property; his acknowledged ability incivil as well as military affairs, and his pure and blameless life, all point ) himas a man wor hy of the oon- fidence of the people. Not only & brave soldier, & great commander, a wise statesman and a pure patriot. but a prudent, pai ng, practical man of uuquestioned homesty, trusted ofen with important public duties, faithiul to every tru:t and ia the full mendicn of a rip» and vigorous man- bood, he is, in my judgment, emi- renily fitted for the highest office on eartn—the presidency of the United States. Not onlyis he therightman for tae place, but the time bas ¢'ms when the best interests of the country re- quire that that pariy, which has mon-polized the exscutive depart- ment of the general government for the iast tweuty years, should be re- tired. The contiiuance of that party, in power for four years lotger would not be beueticisl to the public, or in accordance with the rpirit of our own republican institutions. The law of eatal has not been fa- vored in our syatem of government; the perpetuation of proparty or place in one family or set of men has never been encopasged in this covntry, and the grest snd good menngo formed our republican goverdment lim ited the terms of office, and in many ways sh wed their disapproval of long leaces of power. Twenty years of con tinuous power is long enough, and hes led to trregn a ities or corruptions which are not likely to be prop.rly ex posed under the same party that par- D trated them. B sden, it should uot be forzotten tha; the last four years of power held by tha Party were procured by diecredit able means, and held in defiauce of the wishes of a msjority of the peo- ple. It was 8 grievouswrong to every voter, and to our system of _self-gov ernment, which should never be for- gotten or forgiven. Mauy of the men now in office were put there be- cause of corrupt partisan services in thus defcating the fairly and legally exprossed will of the majority, And the hypocrisy of the professions of that party In favor of civil service re- form, was shown by placing such men in office and turning the whole brood of federal office holders loose to influence the elections. The money of the people, taken out of the putlic treasury by theso men for services often poorly performed, or not performed at all, is being used in vast sums with the knowledge and presumed sanction of the administration to control elec- tions. And even the members of the cabinet are strolling about the coun- try making partiean speeches instead of being in their departments at W ington _discharging the public duties for which they are paid by the people. But with all their cleverne:s and abil- ity a discriminatiog public will, no doubt, read between the lines of their speeches that their paramount hope and aim i8 to keep them or their satel- lites four years longer in office. Per- petuating the power uf chronio federal officeholders four years longer will not benefit the wil.l onsof men aud wo- men,who hold no office but earn their daily breadby honest indusiry, is what the same discerning public witl nedoubt tully unders'and, as they will also that it is becauss of their own industry and economy and God’s bout- tiful harvest, that the country is com- paratively prosperous, not because of them, but in apite of them, this con- test is in fact between the people en- deavoring toregain the political power which rightfully belongs to them, and to restore the pure, simple, economi- cal condition of the government of our fathers on the one side, and s a hundred thousand federal office holders snd their backers pampered with placeand power sre determined to retain tnem at all hazards. Hence the ¢ nstant astumpticn of the new aud dangerous powers by the general goveroment under the rule of the re- publican party; the eff it to build up what they calla strong government; the interference wih home rule aud wi h the administration of jus- tice in the severs] states; the interfer- ence with the elections through the ‘ of paid partisan federal ofiice holders who are seeking to keep th.ir party in power, carivg more for that than fairness in the elections. In fact, the constant encroachments which bave been made by that parly upon the clearly reserved rights af the people and the sta wlll, if not checked, subvert the liberties of the people, and the government of lim- itedfpowers, created by the fathers and 10 8 great consolidated, cen- tral government, strong indved for evil and the overthrow of republican institotions. The will of the men who formed our constitution knew thy evils of a strong government and the continuance of political power long { in the tame hands. They knew there was a tendency in this direction in all sovernmente, and the consequent dan- «er to republican institutions from chat course, and took pains to guard it. The machinery of & strong cen tralized general government can be used to perpetuate the same set of men in power from term to term until 1t ceases to be a republic or i such ozly in Dame, and the tendcnoy of the party aow in power ig that digace tiom, w8 BhO¥Q in Yariots ways, ber feated by alarge number of that party to elect a president an unlimited number of terms, is quite apparent and must satisfy this kind of people that the time has come wken it will be safest and best for that party to be re- lieved. But, in resisting the encroach- ment of the general government upon the reserved rights of the people and the states, I wish to be distiactly un- derstood s favoring th&proper exer- cise, by tho general government, of the powers rightfully belonging to it under the constitution. Encroach. ment upon the coustitutional rights of the general government or inter- ference with the exercisoof ita powers must be carcfully avoided. The union of states, under the comstitution, must be maintained, and it is well known that this has always been the position of both candidites of the democratic presidential ®ichei. Tt ia acquiesced in everywhere now, and finaily and forever settled a8 one of the results of the war. It is certain, beyond all question, that the legiti- mace results of the war for the union will not bo overthrown or ilapaired should the democratic ticket be clected. In that event, proper pro- tection will be given in every legiti- mate way to every citizen, uative or adopted, in every section of the re- public, in the eujoyments of the rights guaranteed by tae constitution and its amendments. A sound cuirency of honest money of a value and purchasing power cor- responding substantially with the standard r.coguized by the commercial world and consi-ting of gold, mlver and paper convertible into coin will be maintained. The labor and manufac. turing, commercial and business in- tereats of 1he country will be guarded aad encourazed in every legitimate way The teiling milliong of our own. pecple will be protect. d feom the de- scructive comprtition of the Chinese, and to that end their immigration t. our sheres will be proverly restricted The p blic credit will be scruputously maictained and streogtheu ed by rigid econsmy in publ ¢ exoenditures snd the liberty of the people and the prop. erty of the peope will be pratectod by a government of law and c rder admin- Istered strictly in theinierests of the people and not of corporationa ot priv leg=d classes. I do ot doubt the discriminating justice of the people and their capacity for inelligent eelf- governmen', and therafore do not doubt the euccess of the demo- gratic ticket. Its succe:s wowid bury, fi?ynud resurrectjon, the eecti jealousies and batreds which have so long been the chief stock in trade of pestiferous demagogues, and in no other way can this be o effectually accomplished. [ would restors har- mony and good foeling between sll the sections and make us, in fact, as _well a8 in name, one people. The ouly ri- valry there would be in the race for the development of material prosperi ty, the elevation of labor, the enlarge- ment of human righ ‘s, the promotinn of education. morality, religion, liber- ty, order andall that, would tend to make usthe foremost nation “f the carth, in the grard_march of huaman progress.

Smith and wife returned yesterday from 2 tour in Cal- ifornia, Oregon, Nevada, Utah and Colorado. In the latter state they spent three days with General Grent and party.

Ho appreciates Gar- fisld as being one of the foremost statesmen of the couniry, and waa at all times unreserved in_expressing his admiration of him. His convictions that the businees interests of the coun- try demand the election of the republican ticket were openly expressed in straight torms, and there is 0o more doubt that General Grant is in earnest in his fealty to the party and the ticket than that the sun shives. We talked about Hancock, and Gen. Graot's opinion of him s just what any man would na urally hold toward a gentleman of his ac- quaintance. He believes that Han- cock is and always was loyal, and said that it could be said of all gensris who were trusted with important com- mands under himin the army of the Potomac. Gen. Grant said he did not approve of Hancock’s course at New Ocleans. the belief that Calfornia and Nevada, as well as Colorado, will go straight republican this fall, and that there is not a possibility of democrat success in Oregon.

The aecretary ssys that sufficient informa tion having been received setting forth the facta of this and other out raged schooners, ths dep rtment had decided to op-n immediate corresp n- dence with the Spanish government on the sunject. He had no. doubt that the Spanish authorities regarded Adm.ral Wyman’s repcrt as a pointin their favor, and that they wonld evi- dently thus confront him m the dis- cussion. The matter was discussed by Evarts and the pre-ident after the cabinet mesting had adj urned, when the course to be pursued was decided upon. The United States steamer.

LAMENTING THE DISASTER- Universal lamentation arises from the nation through the press this morning over the diaster at Kushki Nakur. On every hand there is an expression of intense anxiety for the |details, which, howerer, are not forth- comine, none of the journals being represented at the scene of the calam- ity. The blow has fallen like a thunder- bolt, notwithstanding the fact that it was well kngwn that Ayoob Khan was advancing with his Heralics upon Candahar. : The evening papers and the morn- ing extras givoa few further particu- lars and the names of some of the offi- cers killed and wounded. General Burrows survives and has reached Candahar. His force of artillery and cavalry are straggling into Candahar in twosand threes. Remnants of the defeated were pursued four miles. The chief interest is now centered in the citadel of Candahar, in which the whole remainicg force has found a refuge with the garrison. It must be several days before relieving forces can advance from Quetta through Khojah pass. If, as stated, by the citadel is denominated, several neigh- boring buildings, its defenders may have a tard time. ALl reports concur in the statement that Ayoob's guns were well watched- SPECULATIONE.

At the time of sending his report, General Sundemar saya that his messengers had been ten days sbsent snd he heard they had fallen into the hands of some of Ayoob Khan's scoutiog patties. It is reported that ssaistance will besent atonco from Chaman Chski.
