Francis P. Blair-His AbOlltion
Apostacy.

10 the Black Republican organization, They
sulo,ze him to The SKIES as a highly honog-
sole snl exceIlant man AMI true palrioi.--
Some fifteen or tveaty years ago, when
Blair edited the Globe the Democratic organ
at Washington, 60 one was SO much trsdu'
cel and denounced BY these same partizans
as HIN. Every ePithet that could be posi-
bly, conceived by them was used in desert
bing his character, which was painted in
the bIackest and most frigMful colors -
But nov, since he has washed in the dark |
and muddy pool of Abolilionism, he has in
their estimation become very excellent
character and his productions are received |
as if they came from an oracle.
We are rot surprised at the apos.aey of
Blair, as he has been for along time & sour
cd and dissatisfied pllitician. who has held
on to the skirts of Thomas II. Benton, and
followed that geatemsn through all his &C
centricilies. Though he has received han
dreds of thousands of dollars by the iusru.

tul aud attempted to stab it to the heart
whea il ceased to lavish its hyors upon
him. His rifJrts, however, to do so will be
puerile, except as showing his maiignity -
He has possessed no Influence over public
opinion for i longs and has been uni
yersalIy recognized as one whose career
wag ended and who had been laid upon
the shelf. The uaearthing of his old fossil
Hil prove OF no advantage to the Abolition.
ISIS. The old Jackson Democrats will pay
no more heed to Blair's counscIs for them
to 90 over to the enemy than they have to
those Of Andrew Jackson Donnel>on, who
once possessed the conf lence Of the hero,
il Tennessee, and who has likewise taken
refuge in the enemy's camp. Oa the con-
trary, they will feel incensed that one who
sustained such intimate relations to The Gen
q, Blair, who has been brought up in such
d good political school, should prove I'm
faithful to his instructions, and so insult tht
fame and memory Of his great patron as tC
join the ranks of his most malignant assail
ants, the Wing AboIitioaists Of the North
and renounce all his former principles,
The most ptinful is the contrast betwee"

success, he conducted the central organ O
his party and built up for himself a nation

, services he rendered during the Admins
traton, Of jackson and Van Buren, Demo
e Gratis will ever be grateful, and the rocolcc
