JUBOS GKOVKll'S LETTER. ATTGÉLICA, Sept 20th, 1865. Dkau Sik - f have uoticcd in tho public press expressións of a belief that soriie of the candida tea, i-ocluding myeelf, would deelint the nominations tendered íhem by the recent Democratie State Convention. So far as I ara coacerned, the nomioation was wholly uneought; but in the present corditior of the country, and of pending political' ia 8iies, I have n disposition to decline it. It was known to yun, sir, if not to the peopie of the State geDerailfy, thafc I had beeu a Demoerat of the Silas Wright pchoo! ; that I cherisbed tho principies ot that eminent statestnan witb all tha ardor vvhich a tborough convietio-n, not only of their soundness, but of their eminent tendency (o preserve uniuipaired the iree insiitutions, and consequently proinote the prosperity of the country, could inspire; that I had differed with forne of my associates as to tbe power and daty of Congress to exclude slavery frora the free terrifóries of the Union; that for ttoat cause iny poütieal aution bas of late years diverged from that of timny ot tüy early associates. Tiiat OAUSH Of IFL'lülUN'OB IS NOU" JIE5IOVKD. Iïy tho result of the war, slavery is entirely erarlicated in tbe country. Tbe rflsult is acqniesoed in by all sectiona. iSagücio'is pereons were couvinced that this musí be the necessary result of the triumph of tho Goverumentjaod henee tnany of tbe patriotie friends of the country regarded all agitation of tbe elavery question during tbe war as not only unuecessary, but detrimental to the oountry's best interests. The war ia now hiippify and gloriously closed, with a Union preserved, undivided, and human slavery tertnintted. Glorious and happy as these results are, they would be purchased dearly if, in addition to tlie blood and treasare expended, the oncient principies of tbo iounders of the Goveroment should be overthrown. 7 have seen ivith anxiety the rapid tendency to centralizalion ; theloose construction of the Federal Constitution so as to swallow up all the powerx of the State ; the little regard paid to the onh) fundamental principies upon which civil liberty can securehj rest ; a financial system tending to Jlood the country with paper money ; the establishment of the tarijf upon principies wideh variant from revcnue ; a departure from the ancient maxim of the party, " equnl and exact justice to all in the exercise of the taxing power" BY WIÏICII LAROfi MA8SES OF PUOPEUU' ARE EXEMM'ED FUOM THEIR EQÜAL PROPOUTION OP THE PUBLIC BÜRDEN but more ihan all, a claim set up by a lar ge party in the country of power in Congress to exclude the Southern States from representalion in the Federal legislature , and the right of local selfgovernment un til the ehetive franchise is setled according to their views, The claim I regard ns equally uufouuded and alrnost as mischievous as tho claim of rightful Stato secession from the Uuion. The view of President Johnson (as I understaud it), that the ordinaoce of secession was nuil and void, and that oonsequently no State admitled to, is or ever was out of tho Uuion, is sound and constitutional. That view, carried to its legitímate consequences, clears away every difficult}-. It coufers the right of looal self-governmont upon each State, subordínate only to the Constitution of the United States, and of representaron in Oongress. No department of the Government bas any more power to deny si'ch rigbts, when conatitutionally exeroised, to tbo States ot the South thau to New York, The Democratio is THE ONLY PAltTY THAT UNITIiDLY AND BOLDLY AVEKS A CONCÜIUtENCE IN TIUS VIEW. Il' IS AT PRESENT THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION OF THE IIOUR. Political moveinents in various quarters indicate tliat this doctrine will be fiercely assaied m the ntxt Congress. Upou thia tuere is no uinbiguity in the platform of the OonveBtioo. Uniting upon this, and sympathizing in the financial and comrneroial views of Wrigbt, Benton, and their patriotio assooiates, and in respect for tho Constitutional rights of tho States and citizens, established by tho sages wtio founded the Government, THE DRMOCRAT1C PARTY HAS A MISSION NOT 8BOONB IN IMPÓRTANOS TO THE COUNTRY, TO THE CONTESTS LONG 81NCE WAOED WITH THE FEDERAL PARTY. In TIIESR PRINCII'LES ALL KDUCATKD IN THE DEM0CRAT1C SCHOOL MUST CONCUIt. Sound conservativa men, whatever their antecedents, must, to uisure prosperity and preserve liberty, be ouided by tuis chart. lüntertaimng these views, I cheerfully accept tho nomination. You are at liberty to mnke arjy use you choose of this letter. I shoujj not liayo writlen it (my position on the ticket being judicial), but for the rumora of declension above referred to, on account of supposed differenoes of pahticaj opinions betwen inyself and tho convention. Had differences upon any national liviug issue existed, l should havo proraptly withdrawn iny name from tbe ticket. Yours, tiuly, MARTIJ GROVER,. Hon. J. M. Hmnpliray, President D.emocratic Oonvention. A correspondent, writing from Sara-, toga, says that the gamblers' wiveR are " th.u best uressud ai)U most la Iv-liko Jooking woiaeaoD thu stand."?
