-Kino, (O.), July 12. Gen. Gar-
field has forwarded'to Senator Hoar of
Massachusetts ihe following letter of
acceptance of the nomination tendered
him by the-Republican National Con
vention:? ' .
'-' -Mbstor, (0.), July 1O.-1880.
v.DeariSir; Oiu the evening of the
.SihieWntie last I had thcxhouor tb're-
ceive fcoui you in the ptvyjiicc of the
ixni.nn'ttee of which you wpre Chair
man, the official announcement that
the Republican National Convention at
Chicago had that day nominated mu as
their candidate for President of the
United States. I accept the nomina
tion with gratitude for the confidence
it implies, and with a deep sense of the
responsibilities it iuioses. I cordially
indorse the principles Ket forth in the
platform adopted by the Convention.
On nearly all tLe subjects of which it
treats my opimonvi are on record among
the-published proceedings of Congress.
I venture, however, to make special
mention of some of the principal topics
which are likely to become the subject
of discussion.
KKAT KATIONAL ISSUES.
Without reviewing the controver
sirs which have been settled duringthe
last twenty years, and with no pur
ase or wish to revive the pa-ssionii of
the late war, it should lie raid that
while Republicans fully recognize and
will strenuously defend all the rights
retained by the people and all the
rights reserved to the States, they t-j-jec
the pernicious doctrine of State su
premacy 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 S'Ates is a nation with
ample powers of self-preservation; that
its Constitution and the laws made in
pursuance thereof are the supreme law
of the land, that "the right of. the na
tion to det'eruiiiiH the method by which
its legislature shall be created cannot
be surrendered without abdicating one
of the fundamental powers of govern
ment; that the national laws relating
to the election of Representative in
Congress shall neither lie violated nor
evaded; that every elector shall be per
mitted freely and without intimidation
tn cast his lawful vote at such election,
and have it honestly counted, and that
the potency of his vote shall not be
destroyed by tho fraudulent vote of
any other ierson. The best thoughts
and energies of our people should be
directed to those great questions of
national well-being in which all have a
common interest.
RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE IS THE SOUTH.
Such efforts will soonest restore to
perfect peace those who were lately in
arms ngaust each other, for justice and
good will w! out-last passion; but it
is certain h .t a complete recovery from
(he wounds of the war cannot fully
pervade the whole country until every
citizen, rich or jioor, white or black, is
secure in the freehand equal enjoyment
of every civil anil political right guar
mitred by the Coii.stitut.ion and the
laws. Wherever the enjoyment ot
these rights is not assured, disco n
tent will prevail, . immigration will
cease, and the social and industrial
forces will continue to lie disturbed by
.he migration of laborers and the cm
sequent diminution of prosperity. The
national Government should exercise
nil it-s Constitutional authority to put
an end to these evil.", for all the pen -pie
uiitl a11 the States ate members of
one body, and no member can sufler
without injury to all. The most se
rious evils which now afflict the South
arise from the fact that there is not
such freedom and toleration of political
opinion and action that the minority
irty can exercise an effective and
wholesome reitraiut upon the party in
power. Without such restraint party'
rule becomes tyrannical and corrupt.
The prosperity which is made possible
in the South by its great advantages of
soil and c.imato will never be realized
until every voter can freely and tafely
support any party he pleases.
NO PUBLIC FUNDS FOR 8ECTARIAN
SCHOOLS.
Next in iniiortauce to freedom and
justice is popular education, without
which neither justice nor freeo"Giii cati
lie permanently maintained.. Its in
terests are intrusted to the States and
to the voluntary-actions of the people.
Whatever help the nation can justly,
t A if
afford should le generously given to.
aid the States iu supporting common
schools; but it would be unjust to our
tieopfe aini dangerous to ojir institu
tions to ajfply any portion of the rev
enues of the nation or of the States to
the support ot sectarian schools. The
separation of the Church and the State
iu everything relating to taxation
should be absolute-,
RESUMPTION A REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH.
dit the subject of national finances
Uiy. Views have been so frequently and
tfullrxpressl that littl is netled in
the way of additional statement. TL
public debt is how so well secureykhd
the rate of annual interest has been so
reduced by refunding, that rigid econJ
omy in expenditures "and the faithful
applic .tion of our surplus revenues to
the payment of the principal of the
debt will gradually but certainly free
the people from its nurdena and el'ise
with honor the financial chapter of the
war. At the same time the Govern
ment can provide for all its ordinary
expenditures and discharge its sacred
o iligations to the soldiers of the Union
anil to the widows and orphans
of those who fell in its defense. The
resumption of specie payments, which
the Republican party so courageously
nnd successfully accomplished, has re
rnoml from the field of controversy
ninny questions that lona and seriously
disturbed the Credit of on Government
and the business of t( country. Oer
paper currency is now as national as
the flag, and resumption has not only
made it everywhere equal to coin, but
lias brought into use our store of gold
and silver. The circulating medium ii
more abundant than ever before, and
we need only to nia'ntatn the equality
of all our dollars to inspir to labor
aild capital a measure of value from
the use of which no one can suffer loss.
The great prosperity which the country
is now enjoying should not be endan
gered by any tiolpnt changes or doubt
ful financial experiments.
- PROTECTION TO MANUFACTURES.
In reference to our custom laws a
policy should be pursued which will
bring a revenue to the Treasury, and
will enable the labor and capital em
ployed in our great industries to coni
jiete fairly in our own markets with
the labor and capital of foreign produc
ers. We legislate for the people of
the United State, not for the whole
world, and it is our glory that the
American laliorer is more intelligent
and bptter paid than his foreign com
petitor. Our country cannot be inde
pendent unless its people, with their
abundant natural resource, possess the
requisite skill at any time to clothe,
arm and equip themselves for war, and
in time of peace to produce all the nec
essary implements of labor. It wa
the manifest intention of the founders
of the Government to provide for
he common defense, not by stand
ing urmies alone, but by mix
ing among the people a greater army
of artisans, whose intelligence and skill
should powerfully contribute to the
safet and glory of -the nation.
RIVER AND HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS.
Fortunately for the interests of com
merce there is no longerany formidable
opjiosition to the appropriation for the
improvement of our harbors and great
navigable rivers, provided that the ex
pendituress for that purpose are strick
ly limited to the works of national im
iortance. - The Mississippi river, with
its great tributaries, is of such vitil
importance to so many millions of peo
ple that the safety of its navigation re
quires exceptional consideration, in or
der to secure to the nation the control
nf all its waters. President Jefferson
negotiated the purchase of a vast tet
ritory extending from theGulfof Mex
tco to the Pacific ocean. Tho wisdom
of Congress should be invoked to de
vise some plun by which tint great
river bhall cease to lie a terror to those
who dwell upon its banks, and ly
which its shipping may safely carry
he industrial products of tweutv.five
millions of jieople. The interests of
agriculture, which' is the basis nf all
our material prosperity, and in which
one-twelfth of our imputation are en
gaged, as well as the interests of man
ufacturers nnd commerce, demand that
the facilities for cheap transportation
shall lie increased by the use of all our
great water courses. '
CHECKS TO CHINESE IMMIGRATION.
The material interests of this coun
try, the traditinmt of its settlement and
the sentiments of our people have led
the Government to offer the widest
$3 PER YEAIC
hospitality .to emigrants who seek our
shores for new and happy homes, wil
ling to share the burdens' as well as
the lienefits of our society, and intend
ing that their posterity shall be.come
an undistinguishable iart of our repu
tation. Tho recent movement of the
Chinese to our Pacific coast partakes
of little of such an emigration, either
in its purjioses or its results. It is too
much like an iniKirtatinii to be, wel
comed without restriction; too much
like an invasion, fo lie looked upon
w ithout solicitude. We cannot consent
on allowing any fqnn oi-servilo-Ulor-
to be introduced among us- 'under th
guise' nf immigration. Reeogniung
the gravity of this subject, the present
Administration, supported by Congress,
has sent to China a Comniinission
of distinguished citizens for the pur
Kse of securing suc'i a modification of
the existing treaty as will prevent the
evils likely toarise from tho present sit
uation. It is confidently belioied that
these diplomatic negotiations will be
successful withoi't the loss of commer
cial intercourse between tho two tiowers,
which promises- n great increase of re
ciprocal trade ami the enlargement of
our markets. Should these efforts fail,
it will be the duty of CongreiTtb mit
igate the evils already felt, and pre
vent their increase by such restriction
a, without violence or injustice, will
place upon a sut foundation the ieace
of our communities and tho freedom
and dignity of lalior.
THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE.
The appointment of citizens to tho
various executive and judicial offices of
lie Government is perhaps the least
difficult of all the duties which the
Constitution has imposed upon the Ex
ecutive. Tho Constitution wisely de
mands that Congress shall co-operatu
with the executive departments in
placing the civil service on a better
tiasis. Experience h'a3 proved that
with our frequent chunea of Adiulnis-
trntion no svstem ot reform can bo
made effective htirY' p'Tall
'he aid of legislation. Appoi
to the military and mvul M'rvice an
m regulated by law nnd customs as to
eave but little ground of complaint.
It may not be wise to make similar
regulations by law for the civil service,
but without invading the authority or
necessary direction of tho Execut'vc,
Congress should deviso a method that
will determine the tenure of office and
greatly reduce the uncertainty which
makes that service so uncertain and
unsatisfactory. Without depriving
my officer of his rights as a citizen, thn
Government should require him to dis
charge all of his official duties with in
telligence, efficif-ncy and faitnfulness.
To select wisely from our vast popula
tion those who are best tilted for tho
many offices to be filled requires an ac
quaintance far beyond the range of any
me man. The Executive should there
ore seek and receive the information
mil assistance of those whose know,
rdge of the communities in which tho
lulies are to be performed best quali
fies them to aid him in making the
wisest choice.
PERSONAL CONVICTIONS.
The doctrines announced are not the
levices of a party to attract votes and
carry an election. They are delilerate

ment these principles suonld control
the legislation and administration of
the Government. In any event, they
