NEW YORK, New jersey and q num-
ter of the Western States, vote on the
seventh of November. The DemoTats
of New York are putting forth vigor-
GUS effort 10 carry that State, and seem
to be making converts Of some of the
strong meh of the Republican party.
But the politics Of the Empire Stateare
generally so badly mixed" that it is
hard TO foretell the results Of its cleo
tons. The only disadvantage that we
can see, under which the Democrats are
laboring, is the registry law, enforced
by appoIntees of an Abolition governor,
in the city of New York. This will,
doubtless, operate TO prevent many
Democrats from voting and will reduce
the Democratic majority in the city
But, It is thought that there will be
laavy Abolition losses in the interior.

THE pirate Shenandoah; formerly 4

impunity. Reader, would you know
the reason Of this strange state Of af-

ItON. MONTGOMERY BLAIR.

Mr.. Lincoln's Post Master General,
Hon. Montgomery Blair, is at present
doing good service in the cause of lib
erty. Men like Mr.. Blair dissolve their
connection with political associates, on
ly when there is strong. reason for SO
doing. Let the people pause and con-
slider whether they will follow the lead
of this eminent statesman, or whether
they will be led by such fanatics as
Thaddeus Stevens, Wendell Phillips,
and Charles Sumner. There are those
who pretend to be great admirers Of the
late President. To such we would say
that Mr.. Lincoln's Post Master General
appeals to their candor, nay, their pat
riotism, in opposition 10 the crimes of
| Radical conSpirators against the resto-
ration Of the Union. The following
! letter, written BY Mr.. Blair, who, by
! the way, was one of the founders OF the
so-called Republican" party to =
mass meeting Of citizens of Talbot cohn-
ty, Nd, should go far toward convinc-
ing reasonable "Republicans" of the
present evil tendencies Of their organi
zation:
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8, 1865.
| Gentlemen: :-Yourinvitation to attend
the mass meeting of the people of Tai
bot on the 18th inst, came to hand this
morning. regret that engagements TO
speak in the State Of New York, COM
mencing next week, and to continue
probably beyond the time for yourmeet-
ing, prevent me from promising TO be
with you. If it is in my power to be
present. will certainly avail myself Of
the occasion 10 meet the people Of Tai
bot.
The attempt to disfranchise our peo-
pie is but part of the scheme of the
Northern Radicals to disfranchise the
South. But have no fear that the Ma
ryland toadies to this ambitious and
revolutionary party will meet with any
countenance from our people. Whilst
the war ragged and this precious crew
rioted in public plunder, it was possible
todeceive the loyal people by the cry Of
"COpperhead" upon every man who as
serted the Constitutional rights of the
people of Maryland and dSOuthernS States
rs States in the Union. But the time
has come for a settlement with a gang
Of scOundrels who avail themselves OF
the public difficulties to perpetrate un-
numbered crimes against the rights OF
person and property in our State. These
crimes were all the more atrOciOus be-
cause they brought odium upon the
cause Of the Union, yet the public mind
was too much occupied with the great
cause, and they had too great hold on
the Departments, to fix public attention
upon the perpetrators. But they are
not forgotten, nor will the Registry law
save them. Its ostensible purpose is to
pGtiiSh rebels, but its real object is tO
screen from punishment the lawless
men, who under the cover of transcen-
dent Loyalty have really been the great
eat offenders against the cause Of the
Union. Yours truly, VI. BLAIR.

The firing in this skirmish was the first
warning Davis had. The captors report
that he hastily put on one of his wifes

New YORK, May 16.-The Bermuda Adco-

preliminary examination into the plot to intro

The examination has resulted in the irdict-

being guilty of having conspired with persons
from the so.called Confederate States of Am
erica, and other parties unknown, to intro
duce packages in Northern cities.
The points were Halifax, Quebec and Clifton
House, Niagara Falls. The Canada side made
liberal promises to Sevan, provided the con-
tract was faithfully carried out.
The funds were to be supplied freely from
the confederate eXchequer. and meanwhile
Blackburn was to retire to Halifax, and watch
the progress of events until the opening of
spring. when the season would probably be
more favorable to the spread of the imported

She was intended especially to break the block

chief engineer let out that he would as soon 90

exertion with the best success to substitute
civil or martial rule in southern Virginia. The

into the town of Dauvile has been stopped by
order of Gen. Wright, and agricultural opera.
