MONTGOMERY BLAIR's SpEEcu--Ex-Po8t-
master Gen. Blair recently delivered speech at
Frederick, Nd, on the tissues Of the time, "
in which he took occasion to point out the re-
suits that must follow the present system Of
legislation in Congress in regard to tic rccol-
struction OF the South. In the first place he
showed that ii was contrary to the avoWed OBJ
iect Of the war, land that Stevens and his faction
arc trying to secure subjugatlon instead OF res
toration. The historical points raised in this
speech are very oppoitunc and 10rc!bly stated
Mr.. Blair clearly shows that the policy Of the
radicals towards the Southern States is with
out parallel in the history Of the world, and
directly in opposition to the policy of our own
government in supprcsslng former Tcbclll0ns
and, by way Of illustration, recalled the con-
spiraccs in New England against the Union at
the time Of the second war with England, the
Hartford Convention, also the Buckshot war
in Pennsylvania, where Thad. Stevens advised
all his associates Ito throw their conscience to
the devil and carry out their scheme at all
hazards
The action of Congress since the commence
ment Of the present session is thoroughly ex-
nosed, from the adoption Of the Freedmen's
Bureau bill down to thenumeroUs constitution
al amendments The working Of the Freed
men's Bureau, under the management Of the
New England agents, is also shown up, and
the declaration made that we are fast drifting
in our policy into the system practiscd by Eng
land toward ireland, the result being that New
England soldiers will soon be sent there to col
lect taxes in violation Of the great principle iu-
volvcd in the revolt of the colonies from the
rule of England, taxation without represcn-
tation." All this is being done that q few
radicals may retain power and force upon the
country negro equality, negro suffrage and a
negro bureau. Mr.. Blair was unusually point
cd in his remarks on this OCCASION, and indi-
Gated, in unmistakable terms, the revolution
which now threatens US as the result OF the
fanaticism now ruling in Congress-
Ten thousand one hundred and forty seven
acres were entered for homestead actual settle
