and immunities of American citizenship, with all the powers
that they employed to defend the Union and the Constitu-
tion.—(Great applause.)
Now, Mr. E liter, in confidence, I pronounce this to be
all a sham—a delusion—a snare. The only man who
has done anything for the Irish and our citizens in gaol is

your correspondent. They aro after'votes ; lam not. But
I will not allow our boys to be sold out again.

FRANK BLAIR A FENIAN.
Frank Blair is a friend of mine, and if these are his
words he is sound. But what has Seymour said ?
Our commerce has bean swept from the seas, and the
Republic is insulted in the persons of her citizens by a
Government hostile during our war and hostile still. The
first duty of a Democratic Government should be to vindi-

cate American honour in the matter of the imprisonment
and punishment as felons of American citizens in Eng-
land and Ireland on suspicion and without proof. The
prisoners should ha dernand,d at the cannon's mouth, with
proper apolNies and a sufficient indemnity for the out-
rages.

(herald Reports—Conversation of General Frank Blair.)

These sentiments are national :

You said I am wrong about stirring up the war fever.

What would you have our Flag trailed in the dust?

Iteinember.D.tniel Webster and Martin Korta, and think

of William IL Steward Oosletto, and Warren.
HORATIO SEYMOUR IS ANTI-FENIAN AND PRI-ENGLISiI,

know Seymour. lie is a gentlenian, sad a good pali-

tician ; but what has he said for our citizens in gaol :
I say, in the presence of the gallant and distinguished
soldiers of the Confederate cause here to-night that this

very City of Now York contributed eighty-six thousand
gallant soldiers to the Uuibil States armies—(applause)
in her direct enlistments, and I believe that she contri-
buted about the same number to the the quota of other

counties and other States. But, I believe; of that vast

number five out of every six were Democrals before the
war—(great cheering) —and are Democrats to-day.
(S. T. Tilden's Speech.)
Why did he not go further, and say that four out of five
were Irish Americans, and that some of them were slowly
dying in British Bastilles? Tilden, and Seymour, and Bsl-
mont made the White House a Wall-street post. But what

chance had they to win unless I was consulted ?
Like all Virginians my wife was a " reb" during the
war, and of course copperlioadist in her opinions. Maggie
Tucker, daughter of Banally Tucker, is her guest at New-
port. Mrs. T. sings the requiem over the party in her let-
ter to-day.

(Extract of letter from Mrs. G. F. T.)
Newport, Rhode island, July 14, '6B.
. . . The nomination of Seymour is fatal to the Demo-

cracy. Grant will be our next President, unless Chase
consents to run as an independent candidate. Every lady
isdisappointed. Everybody is cross about it. . . .
But don't lay the flattering unction before your readers
that the Republican party are the friends of England or
of spocio payment, even should they win. Times have
changed, and men have changed with them. Bead this
digest of opinion:

C HINGE ABOUT-FACE -.WHICH PARTY IS THE FRIEND

OF ENGLAND ?

Let this broadside from an Irish editor of " A Roman
Catholic Journal" toll its own story.

(Extract, Leader in London Universal News, July 25.)
The Abolition party, so called, it is true, was mere or
less friendly to England before the war, but it is so no
longer. There is not, nor has there ever been, a party so
hostile to the British power as this party is this day and
year. The treachery and villany of England in the drys
of the late war have opened their eyes. Opportunity to
punish her is daily prayed for, and if once presented
will be gladly embraced. But the Democracy ruled by
August Belmont, the agent of Rothschild, excluding its
Irish supporters, aro her friends. They will rant upon
the stump against her, but it will be all fuss and fury—
bait to catch susceptible voters. Her enemies are those
who have suffered at her hands. They ate the kindred of
the dead defenders of the Union; they aro the survivors
of the terrible conflicts which for years jeopardised the
existence of the nation ; they are the men whose cargoes
and ships have been destroyed by privateers fitted out in
English ports ; they are the men who dared bid the black
man arise from his dun;eon and hurled to defeat and
death half a million of brave sol tiers with sharp steel,
and the broken fetters of 4,000,000 of slaves, which caused
joy in Heaven whoa they fell from their limbs ; they are
the men linked with every enterprise from the Hudson to
the Sacramento ; they aro the men who believe, know, feel,
and declare that peace cannot be restored in America until
every wrong inflicted by England upon the commerce of
the United States 5h..1l be expiated to the last farthing;
they are the men and women, boys an.l girls, who are pre-
pared to aid Ireland when opportunity offers, but are never
hood-winked by froth or gulled by bombast, not even when
adjured by the memory of Brian Baru, the sword of Rod
Hugh, the mythical sunburst, or the p►ke of '9B and the
songs of 1848.
PARKER PILLSBURY, EDITOR OF THE "REVOLUTION."
His " Mortality of Nations' an 3 other writings aro more
than Emersonia.n and far ahead of Mill—a man of great

power - and co-labourer with Garrison and Phillip, with a
larger head, and batter quality of brain and much learning.
I can see nothing in his private letter to prevent my pub-

fishing it, except his surprise to see it in print.
The Democratic Convention delays the Revolution one
thy —the only harm, so far as I know, that wo have yet
suffered fro:u it. That we will forgive them, ho long as
they read Miss Anthony's latter.
LETTER FROM. PARKER PII,LSLEY TO MR. TRAM.
New York, July 15, 1868.
_ _ _

My dettr'Sir,—With the mercury at ninety to ninety-
six in the shade, and every power wilted accordingly, you
must not expect a letter, and especially from me, for I
have no mission as a correspondent. But Miss Anthony
has gone away to Boston, and Mrs. Stanton to Peterboro,'
to visit her cousin Gessil Smith, and left me in charge of
everything in general, and you and Ireland in particular.
So a hasty word must be sent.
The Revolution. lives. Wo have waked the nation more
than ever did anti-slavery pr. aching or printing. Ind3ol
under that we wont on from bad to worse, until the war
came and shivered the nation's idol, nation and all. Slavery
got Florida, Texas, repeal cf Missouri Compromise,
Fugitive Slave Law, Reduction of Tariff, every. ling in-
deed that it ever dernanded,,just a; though Garrison had
never been born, and the tongue and speech of Phillips had
been iron instead of gold. Still Ido notundervalue our anti-
slavery work. Its harvest wes in nien and women, few indeed
primp, but still in men -and women to look after the inte-
rests of the nation, and -the negroes especially under
emancipation. Men and women who can see through the
duplicity and diabolism of Republican politicians, who
having speculated in anti-slavery before the war, now
trade in negro votes at the South, and drive them out of
the market in Kansas and Connecticut, who swindle the
Indians out of their lands, and Lhe working men and
women out of their wages i • making a brainless, vulgar
shodtlyocracy of the few at the expense of starvation prices
and enormous taxation to the many ; iu a word, our work
made the Revolution possible •, furnished pens and patronage
to carry it forward. And whether we make presidents, or
improved private citizenship, the. time will come when to
have been founder or patron of the Revolution will be more
an honour than to have been born a Washington or a
Wellington. But we may do both. We may make presi-
dents; we certainly shall mend the citizenship by elevat-
ing suffrage on the ono hand by education, and extending
it to the noble and virtuous women on the other, and that
alone will save the nationality.
The Democrats have met and organized, as you have
heard. Their blindness is now revealed as never before.
We knew long ago that they were superlative diabolians ;
the last argument in support of the Calvinistic doctrine of
Total Depravity, the one overwhelming assurance that
there must be a hell somewhere, and that Universalism is
therefore a delusion. All this we knew, but they were
greater fools after all than knaves and rascals I never knew
so well as since their recent Convention. You would have
raised thunder-storms had you been there. Rebellion was
not more rampant in the Montgomery Congress in 1862
and 1863, and not ono Northern Democrat to rebuke it.
Even a Ben Butler or Stephen Douglas would have been
a sublime relief, a star of hope. Like Milton's devils, the
would at least have raised a storm which
" If not victory, would have been revenge."

But the South had it-;i11 their own way, New-York their
cat's-paw, and Hampton, Forest, and the rest of them ap-
pearing meantime meeker than ever Moses was, as we
learned iu our Sunday-school Catechisms. There never
was such infatuation before.
But they tell me I must hurry up to be in time for the
mail. Your own condition seem likely to be no part of
this letter. I never before had occasion to write to one in
prison. I do not know, but the time is coming when it will
ba dishonourable to be out of prison. When my excellent
friend Thoreau, now dead, was imprisoned by the Govern-
ment for some non-rosistent protest, W. Emerson
visited him. Looking through the grates he said, "
Thoreau! why are you here ?" " Why are you not here ?"
was the ready reply. "You know your own consolations.
Bunyan was certainly far freer in Bedford gaol than the
foolish monarch who kept him there. You may be serving
your God and country better as you are than anywhere
else. But bo you sure, nevertheless, that many prayers
are hourly offered that the angel may soon be sent for
your deliverance. We greatly noel your presence at the
Councils of the Revolution."
I am sorry to close so abruptly when my story is not
half told. I see the paers report at Newport, among
" distinguished arrivals," Mrs. Geo. Francis Train and
family. Fortunate woman ! Would that you and I were
thereabouts also ! Miss Anthony will be absent a week,
and meantime I shall have to be at my post constantly.
Indeed I am-never far from it.
With very kindest regards, I am, my dear sir, very truly
and respectfully yours,

PARKER PILLSBERRY,

MR. TRAIN AS TILE INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR TIIE

PRESIDENCY.

(Extract from my Fourth of July Speech in a British Bastille.)
The Now York Sun says I will not be a candidate. They
are mistaken. lam in the field, and this is my parlour.
TO THE POLITICIANS.
If I cannot rule in the White House, I will reign in the
