Two INTERESTING DocuMEETs.-We publish
this morning letter from Francis P. Blair to
the niger worshippers OF this city, which let
ter the politicians will find interesting and re-
freshing. We give it on Sunday, go that they
may have plenty Of time to think it over. Mr.
Blair, it will be remembered, was the editor or
Jacksons organ. and was elected from that
position. Fer ten years or more he has float
ed an estray in the sea Of politics, nursing his
wrath to keep it warm" He now turns up TO
smash the party which kicked him out Of its
councils, and gives the secret history Of the
transaction in which he was a victim. This
history will be found exceedingly interesting;
illusions, we give his facts the benefit Of our
circulation. Why he should have kept his
statement bottled up for the last ten years we
cannot see; but now that we have it, we can
recommend it to general perusal. 1t discloses
rome rich political intrigues, and gives several
hitherto unpublished letters Of General Jack
sons. Read Blair, and understand the work
ings Of disappointed ambition.
We also give to-day report of an address
on the genius and character Of Alexander Ha
milton. This essay was recently read before
the Pioneer Association of Sacramento city
California. 1t with Ne found exceedingly in
teresting. No man amtag the early statesmen
Of our country is SO little understood as Alex.
ander Hamilton. No soldier was more brave,
gallant, daring, patriotic no statesman more
acute, more able, more devoted to
what he considered the real interests u the
confederacy than he. In many respects ne
was the foremost man of his time. Public at
tention has recently been directed to the great
men of the Revolution, and we are glad to
see that Hamilton is remembered. The Mayor
of this city has gone to Richmond, Va, to de-
liver lecture on Hamiiton's life and charac-
ter before the Ladies' Mount Vernon Associa-
ton of that place. The address will be pro-
nounced on Tuesday evening next.
We are glad to see the prominent men Of
the present time devoting their energies to the
embalming of the memory of the giants of
the past. The character of Washington has
been finely illustrated by the chaste and glow
ing oratory of Everett, and the memory of
the pater patriG will be kept green in the memo
~ of his countrymen by one of the finest
efforts Of one Of the first Of living orators.
Coming down to later day, we find ex-Presi
dent Tyler paying tribute to his great col
leagues in Congress, and to his Cabinet, which
included the most brilliant of the statesmen Of
that time. These lectures, essays and adj
dresses form an important chapter in our coun-
try's history. In many cases the orator hos
lived and served in the same fields with the
great men whose characters he describes.
Sometimes there have been differences Of politi-
cal opinion; but such quarrels are over, and
we get the truth. We do not know Of q better
history of country than can be obtained BY
analyses of the character of its great men.

On, Thursday morning lasta Card appeared in
the columns Of the Delta Of this city, with the sigma
ture Of Denis Corcoran, one Of the proprietors of
that Journal containing insinuations, imputations,
and implied charges against the undersigned as hav-
ing participated in assault which writer alleges
to have been made upon him, in the street, on the
Saturday night previous
Il did not see the " Gard alluded to, nor was
made aware Of its contents until my arrival in the CITY,
Yesterday afternoon, from Baton Rouge, where had
been since the Tuesday morning before. Having re-
ceyed an intmaton, by telegraph that an attack had
been made upon me in the Delta, came here to meet
my accuser, and to give him opportunity making
whatever charges he might have to bring against me-
in such explicit and tangible form as would enable me
to refute them promptly and on the spot
But upon inquiry ascertained that he was confined
to his residence, and not in condition to answer
such q demand. And in that condition, am given
to understand, he still remains
do not think it necessary for me, at this period of
my citizenship in New Orleans to place myself before

stances Of rresponsiblity as those contained in the
s".Cardn alluded to. Ibeeve do not arrogate too
much to myself when say that | feel may safely
rely upon the deliberate and candid Judgment of my
fellowctzens for full release from the suspicious
that such imputations were intended to fasen upon
me.
But that thu imputations foully false, and that
no such suspicious can justly attach to me- stand
ready to prove, to the satisfaction of any and every
tribunal, whenever the author Of them shall be in
condition to bring them against me face to face My
means of doing this are ample, and my determination
that it shall be done is resolute.
