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.
The providence which watches
over the affairs of men, works ont of
their mistakes, at times, a healthier
Issue than could have been accom
plished by their wisest forethought.
If a man is determined to do the
best he can, whether he drives a

pel, he cannot fail.

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.

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.

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.
