The consti tution forms the basis of government of tbe United States. Powers granted bv jt to legislative, executive and Judi cial departments, define and limit the authority of the general government. Powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution, nor pro hibited by it to the states, belong to the sta'tes respectively, or to the people. The general and state gov ernments, each acting in Its own sphere without trenching upon the lawful jurisdiction of the other, constitute union.- This union, comprising the general government with general powers and the state governments with state powers for purposes'Iou*l to states, is a polity, thp foundations of which were laid In the profonndest | which has Monopolized the executive wisdom. TLIa Is the union ourfathenw department of the general government letter of acceptance of the nomination as candidate for vice-president to the committee of notification to-day: Indianapolis, July 80.—To Hon. John W. Bteveusoo, president of the eonven^loir: Hon. John P. Stockton, chairman, and other members of the committee of notification : Gentlemen —I have now the honor to reply to your letter of the 13th inet., informing me that I was unanimously nomi nated for the office of vice-president' of the United Htutes by tbe late demo cratic national convention, which as sembled at Cincinnati. d-.- As foreshadowed in the verbal re marks made by me at the time of the delivery of your letter, I have now to say that I accept the. high trust, with a renliz'ng sense of its responsibility and 1 am profoundly grateful for the honor conferred. I accept the nomi nation upon the platform of principles adopted by the convention, which I ourdiaUy approve, and I accept it quite aa much because of my faith In the wisdom and patriotism of the great statesman and soldier nominated on tbe same ticket for president of the United States. His eminent ser vices to his country, bis fidelity to the constitution, union and laws, his clear perception of the correct principles of the government as taught by Jeffer son, bis scrupulous care to keep the military in strict subordination to the civil authorities, his high regard for civil liberty, personal rights and the rights of property, his acknowledged ability in civil as’ well as military aU fairs, amt his pure and blameless life ail point to him os a man worthy of coafldence of the people, Not only a brave soldier, a great comman der, a wise statesman and a pure pa triot, but a prudent, painstaking, prac tical mnu of unquestioned honesty ; trusted often with important public duties, faithful to every trust, and in the full meridian of ripe and vigorous manhood, be la, in my judgement, eminently fitted for tbe bigbeeVposi tion on earth—tho presidency of the United States. Not only is he tbe right man for the place, hut the time has come when the best interests of the country require that tbe party made and which has been so respected abroad and so Lem-Odent at home. Ttiod by blood and fire it stands to day a model form of free popular gov ernment, a political system which, rightly admioDtcred, has been and will conHnue to be the admiration of tho world. May wc not say nearly In i ye words of Washington : Tho unity iri the Hovernmeat whiob- aonaritgtes ut as one people. Is justly dear to us. It 1* the main pillar In thy ellfio* of for the last twenty years should be retired. The contiuuauco of that party in |>ower four years longer would uo.t be beneficial to the public or la ac cordance with the spirit of our re publican ‘Institutions. The laws of entail have not been favored in our system of government. The perpet- nation of prongrtY or plaoa In one, "family or set of men has never been j snuowaged In this country and the | republican Institutions. The wise men who framed our constitution knew the evils of strong govern moot and of long continuance of political power In the same hands. They knew there was a tendency In this direction In all governments and a coneeouent dan- ger to republican institutions from that cause and took pains to guard against it The machinery of a strong centralized general government can be used to perpetuate the same set of men In power from term to term, until it ceases to be a republic, or Is such only In name, and the tendency of the party now In power in that direction, oa shown la various ways, besides a willingness recently manifested by a -large number of that party to elect a president for an unlimited number of terms, Is quite apparent, and must satisfy ail thinking people that the time has come when It will be safest and best for the party to be retired. But in resisting the encroachments of the general government upon there* served rights of the psople and the statee, I whit to be dis tinctly understood as favoring the proper exercise by the general govern ment of the powers righteously be longing to It and under the constitu tion. Encroachments upon the con stitutional rights of tbe general gov ernment or interference with the proper exercise of Its powers must be carefully avoided. ^ The union of states under the con stitution must be maintained, and It is well known that this has always been the position of both tbe candl- d.Gea on tho democratic presidential ticket It Is acquiesced in everywhere now and finally and forever settled as ono of tbe results of the war. It fe certain beyond all question that the legitimate results of tbs wsr for tbs union will not be overthrown or im paired should tb* democratic ticket be elected. la that eveat proper pro- tecUoo will be given Id every legiti mate way to every citizen, native or adopted, lo every section of the repub lic in the enjoyment of all tbe rights guaranteed by tbe constitution aod Its amendments.

The Ctallut Prl London, July 28.—Brig.-Oen. Sir Evelyn Wood, who accompanied the ex-Emprees Eugsnie to ^ululand, has sent to the papers a description of tbs death of the Prince Imperial collected from Independent narratives of eigh teen of tbs Zulus who partldpstsdin the attack on tbs Prince’s party. These narratives show that the at tacking party numbered forty, twelve of whom followed the Prinoe, eight of them being immediately conoerusd in his death. The Zulus, having nearly surrounded the Pricos’s party, fired and rushed on them as they were mounting. The Prince not having suc ceeded In mounting , ran along at the side his horse until It. broke away. The Prince followed the horse Into tbs donga until being closely pressed by his pursuers he turned upon them, lo tbs words of tbs Zulus, -like a lion at bav.” Being struck by an Baselyaf in- side the toft shqqlder he roshsd at tbe nearest opponam,'A|ho flsd.

B it with all their cleverness and ability, a discriminating public will no doubt read between the Hues of their speeches that their paramount hope and aim Is to keep themselves or their satelites four years longer in office. That perpetuating the power of chronic federal .office-holders four years longer will not benefit tbe mil lions of men and women who bold no .office, but earn thole daily bread by honest industry, is what tbe same dis cerning public will no dfoubt fully un derstand as-they will also that it is be cause of their own industry and econ omy and God’s bountiful harvests that the country is comparatively pros perous, and Dot because of anything done by these federal office-holders. Tho country is comparatively pros perous not because of them, brut In spite of them. This contest Is in fact between peo ple endeavoring to regain the ftolitical power which rightfully belongs to them and restore tho pure, simple, Fconomtcai constitutional government of our fathers on one side, nnd a hun dred thousand federal, office-holders and their backers, pampered with place, and power, and determined to retain them at alt hazards on tbe other. Hence, the constant assump tion of new and dangerous powers by the general government under the rule of the republican party. Tbe r ffbrt to build up what they call a strong government, the Interference with home rule and with the adminis tration of justice in tbe courts of the several states, the interference with elections through the medium of paid pariisaus, federal office-holders Inte rested ia keeping their party in power And cartel? more for that than for fairness in elections; in fact, the con stant encroachments which have been made by that party upon the dearly reserved rights of the people and of the slate* will, if not checked, subvert ihe llbertie* of the people and tjjo government of Nuked |K»wers oresto'l by the fathaw and end tM-jwit eoa sirtotl* lu the interests of ah the poof Is. aod not of corpora tions and privileged classes.

To see a man over whose bent head the snows of 111 winters have passed, whose dow dimmed eyes haveween tbe a Wallowa leave for their Bouthprn homes 111 times, whose now almost deaf ears have heard tbe melancholy notes of the whippoorwili returning to the louely forests over four score yearn, Whose now stooping form and trembling bands, nearly a hundred yeara ago bravely and etofftly faced the perils ot the wilds, tbe red-ekinnod Indian, bear and panther—tbe eight df such a man inspires one with awe, and yet does it awaken one’s melancholy to consider how In the course of years man’s fullest strength and vigor, like his proudtst aspirations do pass their climax aud totter to the graVe and to oblivion. Oa the 14th of October, 1769, An drew Hood was born in his father’s fort, located near where Wiucheeter, Clark county, Va., is now Atusted. That country web then, in the fullest Bebse of the word, a howling wilder ness, and hia father, Ma}. Hood, was stationed there to fight and keep in check tbe Indians. Accustomed to tbe wild frontier life, his father got tired of Virginia as the advancing civiliza tion approached hie settlement, and when Andrew was eleven years old tbe Major removed thence to a place eight miieebelow Freatooburg, whence be later rnpved to above tbe month of Little Bandy, In Greenup ooofrty, where he died and was burled. Andrew Hbed was married bat oooe, to Miss Mery Cane, who bore blm fourteen children and died in 1678. Hia children aod their offspring are now scattered like tbe sands of tkc and tbs old gsn H <-;nau does not desperate character, who, it seems, had offered some Insult to bis wife, Dorsey wae killed At tbe dose of tbe trial the venerable David James, tbs father of the Hoo. John H. Jamee, arose. Upon permiasloo from tbe Court, be proceeded tn a voice tremul ous with emotion to speak of tbe early life of tbe prisoner. He bad been bis mas»er. and raised blm aad watched over him in bla boyhood. He bad been the nurse and companion of hto children, and tbe most obedient, affec tionate, &od hard-working slave be fiad ever owned. The old gentleman proceeded in a touchlqg appeal to tbe Court; l}ut hie vpl^e failed,' aqd be could continue no fuftfrer. The tears rushed from bin, eyes, and gneel/ng at tbe railing near the prisoner he bowed bis face In ble hands and gave vent to his feelloga. In eopahleratlon of tbe circumetancee in hfs favor, the Judge imposed a light aenteaoe of three years in' tbe penitentiary. — know where they live nor bow many aolldaiH central government, atrongrof bin progeny tbore are.
