The BaUimorean, one of the ablest weekly joaroals published in tbia coantry, in speaking of Gen. Hancock's increasing popularity, says: "It requires no especial political sagacity or discernment to perceive that the Republicans are growing more and more demoralized every day by the position in which they have been placed by the nomination of Qen Hancock. Looked at from every possible point of view bis nomination appears to have been not only a master-stroke of policy, but a positive political inspiration. It may be doubted whether the Democratic party itself at first folly understood the wisdom of its selec-tion. Certainly few persons were prepared for the spontaneous burst of popular enthusiasm which greet-ed the choice of the Oiocinnati Con-vention, or for the deep and atrong hold which the Democratic nomina-tion has taken upon the public mind. The contrast between the way in which the Democratic and Re-publican nominations have been received is of the most striking character, and already foreshadows the result of the election. The nomination of Gen Garfield fell flat upon the country, and hit) name has been found utterly incapa-ble of arousing the least spark of popular enthusiasm. The nomination of Gen Hancock, on the contrary, was not only re-ceived with enthusiasm in the be-ginning, but that enthusiasm baa increased with every day that has passed since the nominations of Hancock and English at th Cm- Cincinnati Convention.

Senator IV u die ton, of Onio, says: "Hancock's candidacy means peace, a true fraternal Union, obedience to the Constitution with all its amendments, a government and a country benifioeot alike to its peo-ple, and beloved by all alike, a cessation of fraternal strife, a ces-sation of sectional difficulties, • ces-sation of the era of construction and reconstruction, attention to the measures of the administration so as to perform, either by action or non-action, that duty which has al-ways been so dear to the Democrat-ic party, of exalting the individual and redressing all the wrongs which law or lawlessness has inflicted on bim. It means peace at the polls without the presence of an army to preserve it; it means a free ballot to every citizen, white and colored, native and naturalized, without marshals to electioneer with him or supervisors to intimidate bim; it means free elections, fair counts, peaceful inaugurations; it means to reverse the ways of the Republican party, to uncover its corruptions, to rectify its errors and to restore to the government the simplicity, the honesty, the frugality of the Far-mer Republio which . our fathers created. It means, in one word, to garner and to gather and to com-bino the blessings of that Union which Hancock saved at Gettys-burg and of that civil liberty which be established at New Orleans. And, as bis candidacy means tbe hope of this blessed change, so his election would secure its full frui-tion.

Plain but Timely Truths. Th. Beidsville Times says many good things in a plain aud blunt style, but it never uttered a moie timely truth and warning than tbe following, and one wbicb is worthy of more serious consideration bj Democratic campaign managers and speakers: " There is work this campaign to enthuse the people. Emotional re-joicings t.nd ratification meetings are well enough in their place. But tbe leaders and stump speakers ol tbe Democratic party must inch down from toploftical barraogoes before club room and Courthouse crowds and take a plain old planta-tion stand to work with the people in the fields and workshops. It is their votes that are needed. Some ot them have backed their ears and stand mulishly indifferent to voting again. They contend that one po-litical party is as good as another, and none of any service to them. Bnt such conclusions are baseless and wrong and only tbe proper ef-fort is required to rally sucb grunt biers into ranks. Tbe Republican party is nursing this class, and whether they fly apart to join a mythical third pcrty or doggedly persist in having to do with none, tbey are booked all tbe same as so ninth strength to the enemj's side. Tbe Democratic party is fortunate in having in Governor Jarvis a cam-paigner at home with tbe working classes. He has followed tbe plow bundle and is from tbeir midst. And the people have only to see and bear bim to like him and sup-port him. There was never a fuller manned ticket for making a success tul campaign. Bot the enthusiasm houlil not be cooped up in tbe towns and cities. At least a pailfnl every day should be emptied >u tbe country. Let Hancock & Jarvis clubs of all tbe towns send speakers -.<. B to different seetioos of wuntief. ri'i" b i sue i apeak- ■ i bt hi i ,;i ■'.■'■; identified with lite people and men IU whom they have confidence. And thus the traps if the enemy will be broken up in tbe bushes and tbeir plans for capture of much of tbe Democratic strength effectually thwarted." Gen. Garfield's Letter of Ac-ceptance [Baltimo e San.] Gen Gaitleld baa written hia letter ac-cepting tbe noniinatiriii for the Presiden-cy accorded him by tbe Republican Na-tional Convention. It is addressed to Senator Hoar, president of the Cbieaepi Convention Oea Oitrl.!.! »•»•; 'hat hi ■• tin ■ iDiinstii -. . UM . . Il dl B . . _•! • ■ -i ■HIM of Ml .',.'-.: ', He cordirMv endonea iii Cbteatftf pis - form "on nearly all tbo aul.j.-.ets of wbicb it treats.'' He aays that his opinions are on record in tbe proceedings of Congress, bnt in regard to sonie priucipal topics he chooses to make special mention, without ae«king to revive settled controversies or awake burut-ont passions. Repnblioans. he says, reject the pernicious doctrine of State supremacy. They inaist 'hat the United States is a nation, with ample powers of self-preservation, and that its Conetitution and lawa most be the »u-preme law of tbe land. He declarea that tbe national lawa relating to the election of Congressmen mast neither be violat. .1 nor evaded, nor mast tbe right of any citisen to cast bis ballot be impaired, nor tbe potency of that ballot deatroyed by fraud. The effective enforcement of these principlaa Mr Gaifield considers to be a necessary preliminary to the restoration of brotherhood between the sections, and tbe national government shonld, therefore, pat forth all its powers to the procurement of these ends. The Sonth sutlers moat from lta own intoler-ance of tbe opinions of the minority, and this evil mast be restrained in order to keep party power from beeoming tyrani-oal. General Garfield regards onr enrren-oy tronbles aa definitely settled by the accomplishment of resumption, aud says that with all onr dollars we certainly have money enough. Onr paper currency be saya, is now as "national aa the llag.'' He favors the support of schools by the general government, but these sobools most not be sectarian in any sense, aud tbedivoroe of Church and State must be absolute. In regard to the tariff, Mr Gar-field thinks that, while revenue must be be considered, tbe interests of the Ameri-can laborer are to be constantly regarded at the same time. It is oar glory that labor in this country is at once more in-telligent and better paid than abroad Our independence consist* in our ability to produce everything and to make everything which Americans require. It is part of tbe glory that ve have aecured onr independence in these respects. Mr Garfield considers it a hap-py symptom that there is no longer any organised opposition to liberal appropria-tions for national objects, such aa rivers and barbon, and be thinks that tbe Mis-sissippi river, in particular, should be generously endowed. In regard to the Chinese question Mr Garfield rather goes iu advance of the Chicago platfomi Chinese emigration, he »»>s, paltaken too much of lbs ehareetM at an imp"i 1st.. :i . rili' Am :":.•». •' •- ft ■' * eai ■ .1 ..■■..• „eu iaarvilel '•■.•■ ! . has great hope- ■!

The best way is to look facts in tbo face at the atart. General Hancock owns considerable cosl and farming property In Missouri, which he hss refused 'o sell or have developed.

The first halfot 1879 show-ed a remarkable diminution, th* liabilities of that period being ooly sixty live millions as against one hundred and thirty millions in the same period of 1878. The six mouths just past show a reduction of as great a aatio •ven on these reduced figures, the loss by bad dsbta being ouly one-half of the same period of last vear, aud one-fourth that of the first half of 1878. This diminution of losses is another illustration of the generally improv-ed condilion of business. —A strange and ghastly thing happened the other day at Bossitto, in Lomhardy. A man had buried his wife. In the evening hi returned home, and went to hie bedroom. There, to his unspeakable '.orror, he saw lying on the bed the body i her whom, a lew hours before, be had si n put six feet under the ground.

Tbe committee then adjourned to Governor's Island to attend the presentation of the Presidential nomination. Tbe committee ap-pointed by tbe Cincinnati conven-tion to notify the candidates arrived at Governor's Island in the after-noon on a special boat, with mem-bers of tbe national committee and others. Tbey were met by General Hancock in the parlor of bis bouse. Hon. John P. Stockton made a brief address introducing the sec-retary who read the official notifi-cation. Gen. Hancock's reply was brief. He thanked tbem for tbe honor conferred and stated be would have bis letter of acceptance ready shortly, in which he would say all that be bad to say to them in reply. Mr. Stockton then formally noti fled Mr. English of his nomination. In reply he stated that be accepted the high trust conferred with feel-ings of profound gratitude, and that he would a', an early date convey bis acceptance in the customary manner.

I h..ve also tbe honor of presenting to you tbe committee appointed by that body to wait up-on yon and notify yon of your unan-imous nomination for tbe highest i.Illc. in tlie gift of the fieople. it is ;t MOUIC .1 gr.'.it satisfaction to tbe cornm.rice i i making their an-nouncemi : to you to say that your nomination was no' secured by tbe salicitation of personal or political tiieudi-, bot WM the spontaneous act "i that ton■. i:itum, actuated by patriotic duty. One of the ablest aud wisest bodies of your country-men ever assembled have given you tbia domination with perfect una-nimity and, General, since that convention has adjourned, we, of that committee, have been to onr homes, we have seen our constit-uents, the democratic masses, and tbe conservative people of this country, and with oue accord they ratify the net ion of that convention. So we are bound to believe as we do that your election will be an ac-complished fact. We cannot doubt it, and we believe when tin-election is over the great principles of Amer-can liberty will still be the loheri tance of this people and NIMII lie forever. Aud now, iu iin- naawof tbe national democratic pa<ty, by virtue of tbe power entrusted to this committee bj the convtution. as ita chairman, I have tbe horn to band to tbe secretary a column meat ion in writing, informing >ou officially of your nomination." Gen. Stockton then banded tbe secretary ot the committee, Mr. Bell, the address signed by the com-mittee, after which it was banded to Gen. Hancock. In reply, the latter said : "Afr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committee: 1 appreciate tbe honor conferred upou me by tbe democratic national convention re cently assembled at Cincinnati, and I thank you for your courtesy in milking that honor known to me. As soon as the importance of tbe matter permits I will prepare and send to you a formal acceptance of my nomination for the office ol President of tbe (Jolted States." Those present were introduced to Gen. Hancock, v. ho bad a few words of welcome for each of them. After about ten minutes spent in hand-shaking, Gen Stockton turned to Hon. Wm h.

But there are great occasions when tbe discbarge ot high patriotic duties is to be considered above all personal considerations, and I shall not disregard the unanimous voice of the representatives of the major ity of the American people wbicb you speak here to-day. [Applause.j I am profoundly grateful for tbe high honor which has been confer-red, and I have an abiding faith that with tbe favor of God and the people we shall succeed in tbe con-test." The speaker was applauded at tbe close of bis remarks, and than followed another general hand-sha king, after whioh tbe party again boarded the Fletcher and left the island. The State Democracy. A Supplement to the " Plan of Or ganization." We publish herewith a supple-ment to the plan of organization adopted by the Central Executive Committee on the 2d inst. Tbis supplement consists of certain amendments to tbe original plan suggested to tbe committee. Five thousand copies of tbe original plan and supplement have been printed and are uow ready for distribution Tbe supplement reads as follows: BOOMS OF CENTRAL EX.COMMITTE, DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF N. C, Raleigh, N, C, Jnly 12, 1880. In obedience to the parly senti meut from various parts of the Slate expressed to this.committee, the following additional rules are this day adopted as a supplement to the " Plan of Organization," adopted on the 2d day of July. 18S0: 1. That section 1 of "County Or ganization " bo umended by adding thereto the followiug words: "That the Township Committees shall be elected at meetings of tbe Demo-cratic voters, called by tbe Couuty Executive Committee for that pur-pose." That Democrats of good standing alone shall vote in said meetings : ami tbat said meeting* shall be call ed as soon as practicable after pub-lication of these rules. 2. That sectiou 0 bu amended by making the vote for Governor in the last preceding gubernatorial election tbe basis of tbe township vote, iu-stead of the vote for members of tbe General Assembly. Each town-ship may s°nd as many delegates as it may see fit. 3. That in canes where townships consist ol more than oue ward or precinct, each of said wards or pre-cincts shall be entitled to send delo gates to county conventions, and shall cast its proportionate part of its township's vote, based upon the last preceding vote for Governor in said township. 4. In cases where Township Exe-cutive Committees, or County Ex ecntive Committees have tbis year been appointed under a former sys-tem, the said committees shall con-tinue in ollice for tbe term for which tbey were so elected, with as full powers as if tbey were elected un-der tbis system; but shall iu all Other respects couform to this sys tem as far as practicable. 5. In cases where all the Town-ship Executive Committees are re-quired to meet for the purpose of electing Count) Executive. Com-mittees, said meetings shall be deemed to have a quorum when a majority of such townships shall be represented i-i said meeliugs. In cases where county conven-tions have met and sent thoir dele-gates to the different conventions, the said delegates will act under tbeir said appointment, but will cast in their resp>ective conventions only the votes prescribed by the plau of organization adopted July 2d. 1880.

As the Judge does uot inteud to resign, aud as tbe committee is not disposed to go halves and make su.'li a resignation ot livelihood accsptable, it is thought tbat the Judge will be allowed to remain iu his present office during the cam-paign, so tbat be may not be !elt > : li nothing to do al er i . • • * Gen- Hancook at Home. [By Col. Forney in Progress.! It is not more than five minutes from the Battery, in New York, to Governor's Island, (be military residence of General Winfield Scott Hancock, ibe senior major-general in the regular army, and next in command to General Sheridan. Tbe department of General Han-cock extends over an immense district, including New England, New York, Pennsylvania, aud some other States, and bis offices and assistants show- the density and magnitude of bis work. The place itself is as neat and well-ordered as a Harden, and when Chevalier Wi-koff and myself arrived, on Satur-day, July 9th, I found tbe General as busy as a great merchant in bis counting-house. Nothing could have been more cordial than our greeting. He looked well—taller and less corpulent than bis pictures represent him, and as fresh, quick and cherry as ever. His confiden-tial secretary is Col. W.G. Mitchell, a regular officer, a native of Belle fonte, Centre Connty, Pennsylva-nia ; one of tbe veterans of Gettys-burg; tbe same who bore Hancock's message to Meade when he laid, as it was supposed mortally wounded, after tbe terrific conflict on Ceme-tery Hill, July 3d, 1803. Like many of the gallant men who now support Hancock, Colonel Mitchell was a Republican, his last vote having been for Abraham Lincoln. • s s • Tbe object of my visit to General Haucock was to confer with him in regard to bis biography, which 1 am uow writing for Hubhard Broth-ers, the enterprising publishers of tbis city.(72.1 Chestnut Si reel,) and with Mr. It win, my shorthand wri-ter I sought certain accurate infor matiou about bisremaikable career. He was ready to auswer all ques-tions, arid, when I let', liw secrete-ry, Colonel Ititehell, handed me a mass of fresh ami valuable data • * * * A candidate for President is compelled to receive ami answer many letUre, and General Man cock's mail is pi Ttaous. His correspondence include* ongratu-lations from soldier*' (Republicans and Democrats,) colored men, editors, foreigners and politicians. Any one who doubts the steady seutimeut in favor ol Hancock has only to glance at these letters The hope of the ring managers that tbe furor for Hancock is dying out, or that it will soon subside, is NO lalla cious that before tbe 1st of Septem-ber 'lie Republican break tor tho gallant soldier will become a Conti-nental revolution.
