23GSijfcii "yy J 'IJg W3!yrp2i hf I General Garfield's Letter of Accept ance of the Republican Nomination. An Able IiuuuiBt froni mi lu trlligcnt .TOaa. Men-tok, O., July 13, 1 ft. m. General Garfield has forwarded the following letter"of acceptance of the nomination tendered him by the re publican national convention to Sen ator Hoar, of Massachusetts : Mentor, O., July 10, 1880. Dear Sir: On the erenlnfj of the 8th of Jttue last, I had the honor to receive from you in the presence of the committee, of which you were chairman, the official announcement that the republican national conven tion at Chicago had that day nomi nated me as their candidate for preeldeut of the United States. I accept the nomination with grati tude for the confidence it implies and with a deep een&e of the respon sibilities it Imposes. I cordialI en dorse the principles Bet forth in the platform adopted by the convention. Of nearly all of the subjects on which it treata my opiuious are on record among the published pro ceedings of congress. I wUI ven ture, however, to make special men tion of some of the principal topics which are likely to become subjects of discuesiou. Without recurring to the controversy which has been eettltd during the last 20 years, and with no purpose or wish to revive the passions of the late war, it should be said that while the republicans lull) recognize aud will strenuously defend all ihe rights reserved to the states, they reject the pernicious doctrine ot state supremacy which so long crippled the functions of the national government and at one time brought the union very near to destruction. They insist that the United States is a nation, with am ple powers of self-preservation ; that ite constitution and the lawB, made m pursuance thereof, are the su preme law of the land; that the right of the nation to determine tho method by which its own legislature nhall be created canuoc be surren dered without abdicating one of the fundamental powers of government ; that the national laws relating to the election ot representatives in con gress shall neither be violated or evaded; that every elector should be permitted freely and without in timidation to cast his lawful vote at such an election and have it honest ly couuted, so that the potency of his vote shall not be destroyed by the Irauduiuui vote of any other persou. The best thoughts and en ergies of our people should be di rected to those great questions of national well-being in which all have a common interest. Such ef forts will soonest restore to perfect pcaco those who were lately in arms against each other, for justice and good will are our last possessions, liut it is certain that the wounds of the war canuot be completely healed aud the spirit of brotherhood cannot fully pcrvado the whole country until every citizen, rich or poor, white or black, is securo in the free and equal enjoyment of every civil aud political right guaranteed by the constitution and the laws. "Wherovcr the eujoyment of these rights i uot assured discontent will prevail, immigration will cease and the 6oil aud industrial forces will continue to be disturbed by the mi gration of laborers and the conse quent diminution of prosperity. Tho national government should exercise all it constitutional au thority to put out these evils, tor all the people and all the states are members of one body, and no man can suffer without injury to all. The must serious evils which now afflict the south arise from the fact that there U not such freedom aud toleration nf political opinion and action, so that the minority party can exercise effective and whole some restraiut on the party in pow er. Without such restraint part rule becomes 'vrranical and corrupt. The prosperity which !b made pos sible in the bouth by Its great ad vantages of soil and climate will never be realized until every voter can freelv and safely support any party he pleases. Next in Import ance to freedom aud justice is .the popular election, without which neither justice nor freedom cau be permanently maintained, unices its interests are intrusted to the states and the voluntary action of the people. Whatever help the nation can justly afford should be gener ously given to aid thn states in sup porting the common schools; but it would he unjust to our people aud dangerous to our institutions to npply any portion of the resources of the nation or the states for sup port of sectional schools. The sep aration of the church aud the state in everything relating to taxation should be absolute. On the subject of the uational finances my views have becu so frequently and fully pxprepeed that little is needed in the way of additional statement. The public debt is now so well Fecured, aud the rate of annual interest has been reduced bv refunding, that rigid economy in expenditures and the faithful application of our sur plus revenues to the payment of the principal of the debt will gradually and certainly free the people from its burden and close with honor the financial chapter of the war. At the same timo the government can pro vide for all ordinary expenditures and discharge it sacred obligations to tho soldiers of the Union and to the widows and orphaus of those who fell in its defense. The re sumption of specie payment, which the republican party so courageous ly and successfully accomplished, has removed from tho field of con troversy many questions that long and seriously disturbed the credit of the government and business of the country. Our paper currency is now as national as the flag, and re sumption has not only made it everywhere equal to coin, but has brought Into use our store of gold and silver. Tho circulating medium is more abundant than ever before, we need only to maintain the equal ity of our dollars to insure to labor and capital a measure of value from the use of which none can Buffer Joss. The great prosperity which the country is now enjoying should not be endangered by some violent changes of doubtful financial ex periment". In reference to our custom laws, a policy shonld be pursued wliich will bring revenue to the treasury and will ipablt ibor aoi plul employed in our great industries compete fairly in our own markets ( Willi the labor auu torcigu prouu- cer6. We labor tor me pcopio oi the United Suites not for the whole world and it is our glory that the Americau laboror is more intelli gent aud better paid than his foreign competitor. But the country must be independent unless its people with their abundant natural resour ces, produce the requisite skill In war time to clothe, arm aud equip themselves for war, and in times of peace produce all the necessary im plements of labor. It was the man ifest intention of the founders of our government to provide for the common defense, not by standing armies alone, but by raising among the people a greater army of arti sans, whose Intelligence and skill should powerfully contribute to tho satety and glory of the nation. For tuuately for tho interests of com merce, there is no longer any for midable opposition to appropriations for improvements of onr harbors and great navigable rivers, provided that the expenditures for that pur pose are strictly limited to works of uational importance. The Missis sippi river, with its great tributa ries, is of such vital importance to so many millions of people that the satety of its navigation requires ex ceptional consideration, in order to secure to the nation tho control of all its waters. President Jefferson negotiated the purchase of a vast territory extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific ocean. The wisdom of congress should be in voked to devise some plan by which that great river shall cease to be a terror to those who dwell npon its banks, and by which its shipping may safely carry the Industrial pro ducts of twenty-five millions of people. The interests of agricul ture, which is the basis of all our material prosperity, and In which seven-twelfths of our population is engaged, as well as the interestp of manufacturers and c -amerce de mand that the facilities for cheap transportation shall be irreased by the use of all our yumi water courses. The material interests of our country, the traditions of its settlement and the sentiments of our people led the government to offer the widest hospitality to emigrants who seek our shores for new aud happier homes, willing to share the burdens as well as the benefits of our society and intending that their posterity shall become an unmstin guishable part of our population. The recent movement of the Chinese to our Pacific coast partakes but little of the qualities of such an emigration either in its purpose or. its results. It is too much like au importation to be welcomed with out restrictions; too much like an invasion to be looked upou without solicitude. We cannot consent to allow any form of servile labor to be introduced among us under the gulso of immigration. Recognizing the gravity of this subject, the pres ent administration, supported by congress, has sent to Chiua a com mission of distinguished citizens for the purpose of securing such moder ation of the treaty as will prevent the evils likely to arise from the present situation. It is confidently believed that these negotiations will be successful without the loss of commercial intercourse between the two powers which promises great increase of reciprocal trade and the enlargement of our markets. Should these efforts fail it will be the duty of congress t mitigate the evils already felt and prevent their in crease by such restrictions as with out violence will place on a proud foundation the freedom and dignity of labor. The appointment of citi zens to the various executive aud judicial offices of the government is perhaps the most difficult of all the dutie? which tho constitution has Imposed upon the executive. The constitution wisely demandp that congress shall co-operate with the executive departments in placing the civil service on a better basis. Ex perience has proved that with our frequent changes of administration no system of retorm can be made effective and permanent without the aid of legislation. Appointments to the military and naval service are so regulated by law and customs as to leave little ground for complaiut. It may not be worse to make similar regulations in civil service, but without invading the authority or the necessary discretion of the ex ecutive, congress Bhould deviBe a method that would devise the tennre of office and greatly reduce the un certainty which made that seryice so uncertain and unsatisfactory without depriving any officer of his righto as a citizen. The government should require him to discharge all his official duties With intelligence, efficiency and faithfulness. To. se lect wisely from our vast population those who are best fi'ted for the many offices to be fillt-d requires an acquaintance far beyr-: the range of any one man. Th" executive should therefore seek biid receive the information and assistance of thoe whose knowledge of the com munities in which the duties are to be performed best qualifies them, to aid them in taking the wisest choice. Tho doctrines announced bv the Chicago convention are not the temporary devices of a party to at tract yptes and carry an election. They "are deliberated convictious resnltiug from a careful study of the spirit of our institutions, the course of our history, and tho best impulses of our people. In my judgment these principles should control the legislation and administration of the government. In any event they will guide my conduct uutil experience points a better way. If elected, it will be my purpose to enforce strict obedience to the constitution and the laws, and to promote, a6 best I mav, tho interest and honor of the whole country, relying for support upon thelviadom of congress, tbe intelligence and patriotism of the people and the favor of God. With great respect, I am, very trnlv touts. J. A. Garfield. To Hon. Geo. F. Hoar, chairman of committee.

Editok Journal : The following summary of facts, which I clipped from a recent paper, I commend to the serious consideration of the cit-. zons of Platto Co., and in au cspo cial manner of her County Commis sioners; until within the past year the evils resulting from the liceuse sale of intoxicating liquors have been largely conflued to the city of Columbus, but with the increase of railroad facilities, a number of vil lages have sprung up In different parts of the county, aud almost sim ultaneous with this come9 the de mand from these different localities for license to keep a saloon, or in plain English, to sow desolation and death in our households, and among our neighbors. There are hundreds of our citizens who would scorn to engage iu such business themselves, yet under the 6pecious guise of a reduction of taxes, an injury to the business interests of the place by prohibition, or some equally frivo lous pretence, they are willing to have this privilege granted to oth ers; to all Buch I would commend the following axioms "What we do by another we do ourselves," and "Whoso gives the motive makes his brother's sin his own." A ClTItEN. RESULTS OF PROHIBITION. The following Item Is taken from the Lebanon (Pa.) Daily Timet, and published without comment, as it is sufficient comment of itself: Editor Times: About ten days ago I noticed in a newspaper the following: What is .to be done with Potter County? An exchange says : At a recent term of Quarter Sessions Court of Potter county, Pennsylva nia, the District Attorney informed the Court that he had no indict ment or bills to present to tho Grand Jury; the sheriff also stated that he had no criminals in the prison ; the directors of the poor reported that they had no one to keep at the county's charge or expense. Potter couuty has had no tavern license for ten years, and this is given as the reason for the lack of court business. Being curious to know whether or not this statement was in accord ance with the facts in the case, I clipped it out of the paper and in closed it in a letter addressed to the Prothonotary of Potter county, re questing him to inform of the facts in tho case. In due time I received tho following: Cocdkksport, Pa., March 1J, 1880. I. L. Kephart : Dear Sir, Yours of the 10th received. I reply with pleasure. At our December term of court we had no jury for we had nothing for them to do. We have no poor honse in the county, for we have no nse for one. Potter county has had no licenses to sell whisky for uearly thirty years. Therefore our jail is empty about ten monthB in the year. Respectfully, O. H. Crosby, Prothonotary. An Ancient Indian ftcpbntlc. The political principles embodied in our Constitution are notas many think, the first principles of the port adopted in this laud. They are very similar, at least in practice, to the principles which governed the Iroquois, originally embracing five and afterward eight Indian nations who occupied Western New York and the shores ot Lake Erie and Ontario, where they were surround ed by the Algonquin-Lenapas. The Iroquois alliance waB the most per manent and powerful on this conti nent. They, seeing other tribes destroying themselves by internal dissensions, formed a confederacy in which military glory and tribal union were carried to the highest aboriginal perfection. Each tribe or canton was independent and each was bound to every other by ties of general interest and honor, very much as these States are ; and each tribe had a voice in the general councils and a sort of veto power. Affairs of common concern were de cided in a general meeting of the Sachems of all the nations usually held where the village of Onondaga now stands. The Iroquois followed the custom of the ancient Romans by encouraging other nations to un ite with them, and by admitting tribes or parts of tribes captured in war Into their confederacy. Thus they so increased in strength that early in the seventeenth century they bad overcome all adjacent tribes, and in another 100 years, had the whites not colonized the conn try, would no doubt have absorbed all the Indian nations between Can ada and the Gulf of Mexico. Theit Sachems were chosen by the gen oral voice for courage and wisdom. Thoy lived in noble simplicity, ac cepting no pay, giving away their share of the spoils of war and the perquisites of peace, despising all pecuniary profit and every unwor thy action. They looked for reward-! only to the respect and love of their people, and, thongb nominally sav ages, evinced the best and loftiest traits of civilization. The Iroquois were at first composed of the Mo hawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayu gas and Senecas, to whom the Tus 'carorae, Hurons and Algonquin Mississaquas (from Canada) were afterward added. They felt their superiority, and possessed a degree of valor which made them feared by all other tribes. A Mohawk, One- I di or Cayuga wppld put to flight, single-handed, a ecore of the New England aboriginals, and an nncieut chiof would issuo orders to tributary nations with the dignified authority of a roman dictator, and was as im plicitly obeyed. Slavery was un known amomg them. They were celebrated for their eloquence the Cayuga Logan, the Seneca Red Jacket and the Onondaga Garangu la were good examples and women were more respected than in any other Indian tribes. The matrons were a conservative force In the state, being represented in the pub lic councils and exercising a prohib itory influence in questions Involv ing peace or war. In some respects we do not seem to have gained-very much on our Iroquois predecessors. JV. Y. Times. Two Ways or Looking at Thing. Two boys went to hunt grapes. One was happy because they found grapes. The other was unhappy be cause the grapes had seeds in them. Two men, being convalescent, were asked how they were. One said, "I am better to-day." The other said, "I was better yesterday." When it rains, one man says, "This will make mud." Another, "This will lay the dust." Two boys got an oyster. Ono looked at it and declared it nasty. The other tasted it and declared it good. Two boys examining a bush, ono observed that it had a thorn. The other that it had a rose. Two children looking through colored glass one said, "The world is blue." And the other said, "It is bright." Two boyB eating their dinner, one said, "1 would rather have some thing better than this." The other said, "This is bettar than nothing." Two men went to seo New York. One visited the saloons and thought New York wicked. The- other vis ited the homes and thought New York good. Two boys looking at some ska ters, one said, "See how thoy fall." Tho other, "Seo how they glide." A servant thinks a man's house is principally kitchen ; a guest, that it is principally parlor. Two boys got each an apple. One was thankful for the apple; the other dissatisfied because it was not two. "I am glad that I live," says ono man. "I am sorry I must die," says another. "I am glad that It is no worse," says one. "I am sorry that It is no better," says another. One man is thankful for all his blessings. Another is morose for his misfortunes. One man thinks he is entitled to a better world aud is dissatisfied be cause he hasn't got it. Another thinks that he is uot justly entitled to any, and is satisfied with this. Oue man enjoys what he has. An other suffers what ho has not. Oue man complains that there is evil in the world ; another rejoices that there is good in the world. One says, "Our good is 'mixed with evil." Another says "Our evil is mixed with good." The Excellence of Marriage Happy unions are always volun tary, not only at the beginning, but as long as life lasts. Love canuot be made free by a change of statutes. It eaunot be bound or loosed under any circumstances. If the state should listen to the petitions oi those who ask that the eex relations be exempted from control, the expe rience of a century would convince the world that the old, long-tried, monogamio solution of the sex ques tion is the wise one. There are evi dent reasons why such a result would come. In all the past emo tional experience of the race it has been found impossible to create an intense idealization of more than one object at one lime; it has been found, too, that when such idealiza tion has been teBted by knowledge and time, it does not diminish, but deepen ; and that the effect of this long-continued idealization i6 to cre ate the best conditions of develop ment, both for those who exercise it and for those toward whom it is di rected. Now, if tho best conditions of happiness are once secured, they should be maintained. It is not possible to bring out all the results of this mutual sex IdoalizaUoa any short period Of MMH!fet?6Tl. The very fact that tho association is a permanent ono gives itearnestuess and dignity. It would not be possi ble to extract from a half dozen as sociations, extending over twenty five years, the same amount of character-development that wonld come from one fortunate association last ing the same time. When we are ouce sure of wisdom, integrity and affection of somo friend through long experience, we spend no more brain activity in learning bis peculi arities of character, and adapting ourselves to them. The association of husband and wife is rather moral and affectional than intellectual. It is a rest, a certainty, a point of da parturo for all other activities. Once settled, and safely settled, wo waste no power in readjusting these relations, but take the fruit as it ripens, without the need of uproot ing the old and planting new trees. 2?orth American Review. There is nothing more ungrace ful than that an old man should have nothing to produce as a proof that he ha? Hvtd long txcept hit years. Rclmkirs; Loyalty. There are sonic Republicans w.ho think Gen. Hancock is better than his party. Even Order No. 40 failed to entirely dispel that illusion. But the Glover letter settles the ques tion. That letter shows uot simply that Hancock i as bad as his party, but that he is as bad as the worst wing oi it, the Southern wing. He realized exactly why the Southern Brigadiers wanted to make him President in 1868. He says : "Hud I been made the Presidential nomi nee I should have considered it a tribute not to me, but to the princi ples which I had proclaimed and practiced." Proclaimed how? In Order No. 40. Practiced where? In New Orleans during his brief term of service as Military Govern or. What were those principles ot which Hancock was so proud iu 1868? Simply the declaration in Order No. 40, in fiat violation of the law of Congress under which he (Uaucock) was acting, that the State .Government of Louisiana was a legal Government. Congress said it was not, and turned its territory into a military district. Hancock went there as Governor under the law of Cougress aud at ouce pro claimed the legality of the old Rebel courts aud State Government. How did he "practice" the principles he proclaimed? By nullifying the en actments of Congress and sustain ing the acts of Rebels. This was his title to the favor of the Southern wing of the Democratic party. De feated for the Presidential nomina tion, he either lacked the wit to keep silence or he was anxious to put himself on record as in accord with the Southern, ruling wing ot the Democratic party, the Briga diers. Hence tho Glover letter, which leaves no room for' doubt that Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock is as little worthy to be trusted at the head of the Government of (ho Nation as Wade Hamptou, Ham burg Butler, L. Q. C. Lamar, or Ben Hill. Ho wanted to be President, not to satisfy a personal ambition, but to on force the principles he had proclaimed and enforced in Louisi ana in 1867. Hq wauted to. "rebuke the spirit of revolution which had invaded every sacred precinct ol liberty." Indeed I You wauted to rebuke Cougress for Its, reconstruc tion laws, did you, Gen. Hancock? You wanted to rebuke the people for ratifying the amendments to the Constitution, did you, Gen. Han cock? You wanted to rebuke the massps of the loyal people of the North as revolutionists because they insisted upon preserving the Nation they had saved, did you, Gen. Han cock? You wauted to rebuke the law-making department of tho Gov ernment for attempting to restrain and punish murderers, did you, Gen. Hancock? Your programme was to chauge the scones, make Rebels take the place of patriots, and patriots step into the place ot Rebels. It were better that you had never been born, Gen. Hancock, than that you should have signed jour name to the Glover letter. It unmasks you so thoroughly that the wav taring tnau, though a fool, can uot fail to decipher your political character. It is just as good as that of the worst wiug of the Democrat ic party, aud no better. It has the taint of the old Democratic devotion to slavery ideas and State-rights ideas. It partakes strongly of that Bourbon stupidity which learns nothing aud forgets nothing. Re flections on the folly of letter-writing are in place here. It might have been said that Order No. 40 was the work of Andrew Johnson, and that that misguided man inspired aud directed Hancock's course in New Orleans in 1867. But the Glover letter was the vol untary act of Hancock himself. Per haps Jere Black wrote .it, but we know that Hancock signed it. Its purpose was to make. its author solid with. the South iu tho. next race 1872. It did not bear fruit until this year, but now the coveted nomination has been received.- The first harvest of the remarkable letter has been gathered. But there is the letter placed high before the critical gazo of the American people. Of this critical examination and analy sis, what will the harvest be? Clearly not a harvest of votes from the Ercat conservative class of iPiiPrn citizens who doubt tho propriety ot intrusting me demo cratic party with power. For this letter proclaims Hancock to be the representative of tho dangerous po litical opinions held by the Southern Brigadiers. Hancock wants to re buke tho spirit of revolution, does he? There is a spirit abroad in the Northern section of this land which will rebuke the man who talks flip pantly of rebuking the men who saved tho Nation, and who will pre serve it from Democratic vandalism.
