SERKNApE TO Col F. p. BLAIR, NJ. c. or Mis-.
| SOURI, Last night Hon. Fraucs p. Blair, mem
\ Der Of Congress from Missouri, was honored with
! serenade by Dodworth's band, at the residence
| OF bis brother, Hon. Montgomery Blair, Post
master General. A large crowd was In attend
| ance.
After the band had played a number Of airs,
the door. holding in his hand the star spang led
banner, the flag which waved over the Freedom
when Captain Ward was killed. On the an
above alluded to: that 1t was good old fashioned
one, with only thirteen stars; that IL had been
| shot at good many times, but not star hit, the
| ''Star Spangled Banner" Mr.. SchafYer then an
nounced that Col Blair, who had been chiefly
instrumental In saving one border State to the
| Union, was present and would address the crowd
| CHEERS and cries for Blar.)
Col Blair shortly afterwards appeared, and was
| received with deafening cheers. He than ked the
people for the compliment rendered him, and
said that in these times he supposed a man who
| addressed an audience, must not address them
upon any other question than the great one which
now occupies the minds Of the people, viz: the
present condition Of the country.
1 While he did not know that he was competent
| to pass on what had been done, and what ought
to be done, he held himself entitled to his own
opinion a. to the justice Of this war and the pro-
! priety Of prosecuting il with vigor.
| Living In one Of the slave States, he knew the
feeling Of large majority against this re bel
minority who had stolen the arms of the govern.
| ment through the imbecilitv Of 4 corrupt admin
| lsratton, ana were now using them to put down
the loyal people Of those States Shall we, be
1 asked, prosecute this war to deliver the South
| from the oppressors, Look at East Tennessee,
In which large majority has unmistak ably de-
clared for the Union; yet she Is rnvironed b. the
hostile forces Of her enemies 10 Il not proper
| for US to send Immediately for their relief and
| place arms In their hands, with which to assert
and maintain their rights; 1t to send aid to
Forts Sumter and Pickens
Mr. Blair alluded to the State Of Maryland, in
which only two weeks ago the people declared,
BY an overwhelming vote, their loyalty to the
Union; and yet they have In their midst nest Of
copper beads-the State Legislature-who have
been and are plotting and conspiring TO revolu-
toniIe that State, and drag her into this infamous
Plot to break up and destroy the government Of
the United SAFES
He spoke In sarcastic terms Of the boasted chiv-
al Of the South that manifested itself In the
s!na Ion Of pickets, but said that there was a
genuine chvalry there which would put down
the rebels IL promptly aided by the federal au-
tboritics.
Nine ont Of every ten persons in Missouri, he
said. are fof the Union yet her Legislature have
been for six months plotting to carry that State
out Of the U ion The loyal men OF that State
were not even permitted to defend the arms Of
the govern nent In the arsenal owing to the crmi-
nal misconduct Of the State administr att on.
When, however, the present sami nistration came
into power arms were pllced In the bands of her
loyal citizens, Of which they had already ana
would continue to give good account. SO would
1t be In every southern State were all loyal ciu-
zens thus assisted.
Col. Blair declared that he was for the war till
not an enemy 10 LEFT In hostility to the govern
ment. He was now, a. heretofore, against any
compromise, for any compromise, 10 bis opinion,
would breed ten worse wars! We could have no
lasting pace until the foes Of the country were
rendered incapable Of further resistance.
A dragon passed by at this point repeating
" no compounds" Tnat voice, said Mr.. Blair,
IL the voice of the whole country, and In this ex-
preston the multitude responded by deafening
shouta M Blair said that he believed that this
