1 - McClellan's Letter of Acceptance. McClellan's letter of acceptance has t??rj publ?shecV He taja the existence of more " f than one Governmeut over-the'reglOV which once owned our fias, ?s incompatible with the peace, happiacss ar.d power of the people. As the preservation of the Union wa* . the sole avowed object for -which tine war vas commenced, it should ?ave been conducted for that object only and in accordance with those principles which I took occasion to de clare when in active service. Thus conduc ted, the.work'of reconciliatibn would have been easy, and we . might have reaped the benefits ?f our many victories on laud and' sen. The Union was. originally formed by the ex- ] ercise-of a-spirit of c?nciliation--: and* com-. . promise ; to restore and preeerreit, the same - spirit must prevail in out councils and in the hearts of the people. The re-establishment of tie Union in all its integrity is and most coe linne an indispensable condition, in any settlement. - So soon as itv is clear or even probable that the present adversaries are j . ready for peace apon the basis of Union, we' shc?id erbaust all the resources of statea r rusaip, practiced by civilized, nations, and t jht'by the traditions of the American } ple.'cOnsifltent-with tho'aonor and inter-, of the country, to secure such peace, fe-'I stablish the Union and guarantee for the fu tOre the constitutional .rights of everyState. Union is the one condition of peace. We ask.] no more. When any one State is willing to J return to the Union, it should be received at [ once, with a fail guarantee of ita constitution-, al rights. Iftfrank,^esrnestrand persistent effort to obtain these ?bjscte. should-fail, the | responsibility for the ulterior consequences ' will fall upon those who remain in arms , against the Union; but the Uuinn must be preserved at all hazards. I could not look in the face my gallant comrades of the army and navy/.whp have survived io many bloody '] battles, and fell them that their labors and j the sacrifices of so many of our slain and wounded brethren had been in Y.H?H; that we had abandoned that UnionforWhi?h. we have so often periled our Iii es. The vast-majority ^ of our people, whether in the army and.navy or at home, would, as I, would, hail with un-, , bounded joy the restoration of p??c? on the basis bf the Union under thu Constitution, without the effusion, of another drop of blood but no peace caa be permanent without Un ion. *As to the othtr subjects represented in the resolutions af the Convention; irie'ed only say that I should seek in the Constitution off the United States and the laws framed io ac cordance therewith, thu rule of mj duty and the limitations of the executive pawer.. -+ - Correspondence Between Cons?
