I accept the nomination, and am grateful for the approval expressed by the convention of the acts of the administration.
I am advised by the Attorney-General that under the Indian-depredations act 8,000 cases, involving an aggregate of damages claimed of about $30,000,000, have already been filed.
Our money is all national money — I might almost say international, for these bills are not only equally and indiscriminately accepted at par in all the States, but in some foreign countries.
We may not only hope for, but expect highly beneficial results from this conference, which will now soon assemble.
