Attacks upon Francis P. Blair will not weaken the
force Of his expose. No matter what he may be now
his proofs are unassailable. Besides. his part of the
eapose is of an explanatory and narrative character
nterspersed with strong comments, it is true, but al
deriving reliability and power, from letters written
by Gen. jackson, Major William B. Lewis, Henry
\ Clay, James Buchanan, Philip s. Markley, John n
Eaton, Daniel Webster etc. Throughout Blair plays
q secondary part-has only arranged together impor
tant documents in his possession with signal ability
and skill as was to have.been expected from the yete
ran editor of Gen. Jackson's organ throughout his
entire administration.
Mr. Blair does not convict Mr.. Buchanan of being
the causer and originator of the infamous charges o.
"bargain, intrigue and corruption brought against
HENRY CLAY in 1926, but the evidences he brings
| forward, do!
n The Courier may essay to weaken the force Of the
erposeby asserting that Blair is supporter Of Ere
mont. Well, suppose it does !? What'wil the effor
amount to Nothing Mr.. Blair was the chosen
organ Of the Democracy throughout the administra
tons Of Gen. jackson and Mr. Van Buren, and up tt
the Inauguration Of President Polk, shortly after
which event Blair & Rives sold out the Washington
Globe. It makes no difference what Mr.. Blair has
become SINCE so far as the material issues involved
are concernedfor they all occurred long previous tt
| 1s45-up to which period Francis p Blair was the
editorial embodiment and personation of unadulter
ated Jacksonian Democracy These are propositions
4 the Courier will not venture to dispute.
In conclusion, we would thank the Courier to poin
out any endorsement Of Mr.. Blair that has evel
appeared in these columns, or make an appropriate
explanation that will do US justice.
