Blair and the Administra-
tiOn Policy.

Iu his speech at the meeting of the "Loyal
Natioral League" In Cleveland, MONTGOMERY
BLAIR, the Postmaster General, declared that
the President's Emancipation proclamation has
not only created "an obligation to tho bondmen
whose action it was intended to CONTROL" but
"thst 1t is an implied pledge Of honor to the for-
sign powers whose conduct II is designed to in
Auence" He also said that the nation was
"lsrevoeAbly" committed to make good the
pledges contained In that document, and from
"that position there wac no retreat"
1t seems from the position taken BY Mr..
BLAia, that the previous promises made to the
people In the Inaugural, tina. the President had
no desire, and II he had, the power did not be-
long 10 him, to Interfere with slavery in the
States where It existed; and the further sssus-
anoes In tho joint resolution pnssed by Congress
In July, 1861, declaring the objects and pur-
poses Of the war, all which were made vol
unfairly by the Government to the white
people Of the United Statce, are to be cast aside
as Of no account; but the promises made In
the Proclamation Of Emancipation to tie me-
groes and the Epgish AbOliiOnist' are to be
carried out to the letter. ThatgeemS to be the
aum and substance Of the message of "the
Goyerpment' 10 the people OF tho COubtry, as
promulgated BY Mr. BLAIR in his Cleveland
speech. In Ihs oousse of events, snd in con.
stitutional way, the time may come when the
white people, who are the soyeFeiRns 10 ths
country, may have something to say in response
to this official view Of the subjeoi referred to

Hon. Rober, Mallory, Of Kentucky.

We thank this distinguished member Of Con
gress for his able and convincing speech, deliv.
cred on the 24sh Of February last, 10 the Unit
ed States House of Representatives, sgainss
the "Conscriptlon Act" This speech is q
splendid vindicatlon Of the Constitution with
reference to State Rights, and especially with
reference to their rights over their own militia.
He regards the bill az "loDg stride toWa I'd
changing the whole character of our Govern
ment," He opposes with boldness and force
the attempt to consolidate our system. He
says;
Already the President has the power by Law
TO create an army of one million two hundred
thousand men; he has noto the power of arm
log hundreds of thousands of liberated slaves; |;
and your bank bill, passed few days since,
gives him, ss think, absolute control of the
moneyed interests of the States; and nov you
propose to add 10 this overgrown and enormous
power the right to call out, organize and officer
the entire militia force of the United States,
without the intervention of the State authori
ties. Sir, can it be denied that such power as
this is absolute and unlimted7

The Secret League Movement at Cleve'
land.

The main purpose of the so.cslled "Unlon
Convention" ct Cleveland on the 20th Of May,
appears to have been to more thoroughly organ
iEe and perfect secret political leagues. We
have already published some developments Of
these secret operations. More are gradually
coming to light: We have before us the New
York Times, well known and ledding Aboll.
tlon paper, Of May 20, containing two letters
from Cieveland--one dated May 20, and the
other May 81, and both relating to the Conven-
tion or League meeting that sat In Cleveland
on those days. The correspondent Of the Times,
in his letter Of the Goth, describes the assem-
blage ss "the Convention Of Representatives Of
Loyal Leagues In the different Northern States, I"
and adds:
Their sessions are strictly secrst, and the pre-
sence Of reporters is especially discouraged and
Rusrded against. The object of the convention
is to consolidate out of the material furnished
BY the Loyal Leagues more secret league,
whose purpose shall be 10 secure to the Govern
mept prompt and efficient support Ia oil It's efforts
for the preservation of the Union; In enforcing
the Conacription act, and 10 general measures to
oounteract the bsleful influence of the Copper
heads.
The above confirms the statement 10 the
Cleveland Herald that while an outside demon
stration was going on to amuse and delude the
common people, secret conclave Was In ses-
slon composed Of representatives from secret
political leagues for the sole purpose Of forming
another organisation still more eKcRET" No
