We print below remarkable'Specc
from General Frank p. Blair Of Nil
souri,, delivered in ST. Louis, on the nigl
of the 26th ult. Mr.. Blair is the fath'
of the Republican party Of Missouri
and to his exertions more than any ott
er cause does that organization owe II
existence in that State. Mr.. Blair
the son of Frank Blair, sr., who pub
lished the Congressional Globe 70
many years, and a brother Of Montgom
cry Blair, the. Post Master General il
Mr. Lincoln's cabinet. He was electe,
to Congress last year from the St. Loui
District, by the Conservative Republi

sense and humanity, and although th
founder Of the Republican party in Mis-
souri,, he will not permit the abuses o
his party to 60 unrebuked. We com
mend his speech to the careful attention

THE RADICALS MUST 90 TO THE GALLONS
1t ia no argument to say that he hat
made bad appointments, that he has
done this, that and the other, that i;
wrong and improper; that is no argu.
mcut for breaking down this Govern
ment in an illegal and unconstitutional
manner If my friends, the Government
Of The State tah &c &c displaced at the viii III
ofa set Of politicians, otherwise than by
the forms of law, we shall sacrifice orr
Republican institutions and run down
into a sort of Mexican Republic, where
Presidents, Judges, etc., are made by
PronunciamentoeS. The people of this
State are not prepared to degrade them.
selves to this standard of Government.
We are people who desire that there
shall be stability, dignity and respecta.
bility in our Government. We are all
of race of people to fight it out rather
than submit. All these men who were
entering upon this career Of rebellion, all
these men who make our great contest
for oar National existence degenerate
into q revolution like that which afflict.
ed France in the last century, these men
who are following in the footsteps of the
Jacobins Of the French revolution-who
are demanding the guilotine-who con.
stitute themselves Judges, witnesses and
executioners alike-I tell them to be.
ware! They will not find a Submissive
people. They will fnd Giroldists of a
different stamp-a Robespierre will nev.

The Robespierres aud Dantons will
never live to exercise the authority which
they covet, to immediate people who
dilier from them in opinions. But they
will lind themselves travelling the road
to the gallows. There is no way to deal
with such people. 1t is idle to discuss
this question with men constituted as
these men are. Why, it was related to
me by a gentleman whom l know as
thoroughly reliable, that he held con.
versation the other day with man who
belongs now to this Jacobin faction,
that | once knew to be one of the most
temperate, wise and sagacious men in |
This State, but that man had become

cal and revolutionary spirit-that he
declared to this gentleman that 1.-THE Cd.
posers Of radicals in this State must 20
put Of the State-that they could not
live in the State together" He said,
also, that "he did not care so much
about the negro;" the fact is, he wanted
% get rid of the negro and the negro
question; but the oppos,rs of the radi.

Now, my friends, it is about time to

Applause. For my part, when they

Why, certainly, my friends. And
having been SO long absent from Mis-.

o express my astonishment that, because
