Montgomery Blair at the Democratic
Convention a. Reading, Pennsylvania,
on Wednesday, warned his hearers that
they were on the eve of another civil
war. the battlefelds Of which would be in
the North, while tine South would remain
united and so forth and so on. The re.
spons.bility Tor this terrible state of af.
airs is of course charged upon the North
ern radicals" The direct tendency OF the
present course Of the Northern radicals,
said Blair is to bring on another civil
war. But it is remarkable that the talk
Of war comes from the Blair side.
Their threat is to bring the rebels into
Congress by force; or to form separate
Congress, nv the union OF the Northern
Democratic Congressman with those
elected by the Southern States. and which
President johnson will recognize and
uphold by the military force under his
command as the only true and genuine
Congress. 1t is true that President
Johnson has repeatedly and explicitly
recognized the constitutional control of
Congress over the whole subject of the
admission of Senator's and Representa-
tiyes. 1t is true that the Southern Sem
tors and Representatives voluntarily de-
serted their seats for the purpose OF
waging war on the government and IN
ion, and that they forfeited their rights
by their treason it is true that Con-
gress has the right to regulate the time
o. their re- admission as the safety OF the
country shall demand but all this is Of
no consequence to the insane When the
traitors were fighting for the destruc.

the insanity Of these gong, 0eaters'
consists in their supposing Tor mo-

put II they gdoa!d 90 it, they would come
20 grief so suddenly that they would
hardly know what it was hurt them.
'or their insanity consists in their sup.
posing the people as insane as them
selves, The people have kept cool not
Wlthstanding the heated term. They
nave had bloodshed and slaughter
enough for one generation. If Congress
commits an error, they will appeal to
1Ae ballot box to right it. If the Presi-
uent commits an error, they will appeal
20 the ballot box to right that. If one
party disagrees with another on any
political question the ballot box will
oecide it. The time has not come in
tnls country, as we pray it never will.
when any set of mad politicians can
threaten the people with the horrors of
elVll war, to settle simply and purely
political question, or to carry out their
cWn wicked schemes, without confess
1ag themselves wrong aud signing their
own political death warrant by the yery
tnfeat. Civil war for any other purpose
'nan 10 maintain the existence OF the
government against armed traitors, will
'ioV be permitted, and whoever threat
enS 1t will be incontinently crushed by
Y patriot and peace-loving people.
inis last card of the Philadelphia Con-
s'ention politicians is the very worst one
''ney could have played for their own
success.
