MONTGOMERY Blair's Speech.

Hon. Montgomery Blair, who was Lincoln S
Postmaster General, delivered a speech at the
Rockbridge Alum Springs, on Saturday, the
Goth of July. We make the following extracts /:
1.-The programme of the Radicals is plain
They mean to command the Government by
military power and corruption. They will set
up Brownlow and Fletcher governments in the
ten States now excluded from Congress- These,
with the Brownlow and Fletcher votes, will give
them twelve States in the electoral college, in
virtue of their military power. They count up
on the tariff and use of the public money and
party machinery to secure sufficient number
of the Northern States, which added to the
votes cast by Brownlow, Fletcher, Sickles,
Pope, Sheridan, and other military satraps,
will give them the control of the Government
The himsy veil of negro suffrage, pretended as
protection of the ballot from chief traitors, :"
under which is concealed the naked sword with
which the twelve States are to be ruled, is too
transparent to require to be stripped off Old
Thad. Stevens, the real master spirit of Radi-
calism, long ago declared that mean whites
could be got at the South to organize and lead
the negroes in the interest of those controlling
the Government for the sake of the patronage
and the pecuniary advantages they would re-
ceive. For controlling the negroes they look
to the antagonism of race-the freedmen Ru-
reaI1-promise of confscated lands. There is
not feature in the whole Radical system to
redeem it from adherence. 1t is system of
the foulest corruption: relying altogether on the
basest and most mercenary motives to receive
support.

The greatness of Maximihans character, his
Quixotic mission, the beauty and virtues Of his
consort, the vicissitudes of his career, his own
kingly qualities and his unlocked for and afro
cious death, will make one of the most roman
tic and enduring episodes in the history of man
kind. H,

aa 'The Confederates did not undertake to
their own, because it was the EXPRESS IMAGE
OF THE AMERICAN MIND and it must be per-
petual. To oppose it is like fighting against
God and Nature and it would be as well to un-
dertake to reverse the laws of gravitation. The
Radicals know this, and are aware of their doom.
1t is mistake to suppose that they are repos-
ing in ease and confidence upon their places and
patronage in the Federal capital. The con-
sciousness of their guilt and the knowledge of
their fate speaks in their faces and through
their eyes,"

Thanks to God, the Cholera has made
it's final disappearance, we still hear how
ever about it, but this refers to the distress
which it has brought to many a home,
children left parentless, parents bereft of
their offsprings, partners in life lamenting
their painful separation, are the sad remin-
i~scences of the awful scourge.
Our connections with all the neighbour

have left our port loaded with the rich
merchandise which we import here and
being destined for Pto. Rico, were all ad-
mitted free of the useless .formality of a
quarantine regulation when no epidemic
exists ; and it would not be out of place to
enquire-why is St. Croix still with closed
doors towards us ?-The evil entailed can
certainly be endured because it is not of

to alleviate the unfortunate ones who have
suffered most during the prevalence of the
sickness this public although proverbial
for it's charity and readiness to assist the
cry of the suffering, needs to be stirred up
to attend to the wants at home this task
Mr.. ALBANIAN exemplary minister of God
has undertaken and has already made
known that he will soon call upon the
charitable to aid him in the work it seems
his attention is first called to the necessity
of supplying beddings for those who in
consequence of having had sickness in their
houses, had to part with what little they
had and it is needless to say that the Rev.
Gentleman's appeal will be most readily
answered. You doubtless know all about
the soup kitchen; it did a vast amount of
good and as it's utility can still be made
available, it would seem that it is contem-
plated to establish it permanently, of
course it will no doubt be under new re-
gulations, of which more later.
Attention is again being called to the
necessity of erecting a theatre in this town
and different plans are suggested as likely
to meet with approval. The object is q
good one and could be easily executed if

phoet.0 [eu loug n~eedcuj is taken IN hand
in an energetic manner, it will not be long
before we may invite Actors to our shores,
certain of giving them a proper place for
the display of their talents.
On the topic of building, I have to state
that the lately commenced new Bank Es-
tablishment progresses rapidly, it promises
to be a good work and right is it that it
should be, considering the cost at which
it is estimated,-the architecture seems to
be such as is generally seen in these coun-
tries and that is of no special order,-the
work is superintended by Major STRAND
GAARD, whom I believe to be about the
best man in the Island to attend to it,
the corner stone was laid on the 28th jan
uary last, but not with the usual pomp,-
the shareholders | understand have grum-
bled at being deprived of a treat which the
occasion would have afforded, they have
been promised however that when the
roof is laid the day will be kept up with
gala. The Bank declared last week a divi-
dend of 7 pr. cent. for the past semester,
on which event thanks were accorded
to the acting manager for his good attend
ance to the affairs of the Institutions
seven pr. cent. dividend is quite a novel
feature in the history Of, our. local Bank
and to this therefore must be owing the
we'll merited vote of thanks. Rendering

THE PRESENT DANGER IN THE Souri,.
The prospect that at the first election
under the reconstruction acts the South
ern States will be carried by the repub-
licans is in itself gratifying. But the
way in which this is to happen gives to
thoughtful men some anxieties for the
future. The foresight that the negro
vote is to control everything is not hav-
ing a favorable influence upon the white
men of the South, and we cannot forget
that the whites constitute two-thirds of
of the population Of the States that are
to be surrendered to the control of Il
mass Of ignorant blacks, and these
white men must inevitably become the
dominant class very soon, whatever
happens this year. A majority Of the
whites will not attempt to register, or
are excluded il they attempt, and Of
those registering it is thought that a
majority will vote against reconstruc.
ton under the Congressional plan. The
blacks and a small fraction ofthe whites
will do the voting and re~constructing
and have possession Of the State ma
chiuery under the new government. 1t
will be "good enough" for the obstruc-
tionists, indeed, but how is it coming
out? We know what the Hunnicutts
and other leaders of the negroes have
threatened, and what hopes and pur-
poses they have raised among their
credulous followers. Shall we see
Brownlow despotism and anarchy eI-
tended over the entire South for the
next ten years, and order preserved only
by keeping the eight millions of whites
quiet under the rule Of four millions Of
pegroes by the stress of federal bayo-
uets?-Spriaqfsh Republican.

IxMssArfoS is always welcome in
America, especially when it briggs the
skilled lsborers of other lands. Foreign
countries, when the tide of emigration
to America 6rst began, generally sheer
ed at it and affected to believe that the
people who came here were only a por-
ton Of their population that they were
anxious to be rid of. England especi-
ally treated it 10 this way, and seemed
to think the entire ~depopulation of Ire
land would be a blessing. But now
there is alarm shown 10 England at the
eIten, Of this emigration, as it draws
great numbers from the ranks of her
artisans and skillful laborers of many
kinds, such as weavers, miners, iron
workers, and the like. The London

laborers from the coal and iron districts
Of South Wales. or the hundseds who

whines, the reception Of a center shot

howl. They had misrepresented, day
after day, (no doubt for,a money con-
s~ideration) Gorham's position, until
they would have the people believe thai
Gorham acknowledged the force Of their
charges by his silence. He springs al
the conductors aud editors of those pa
pers at last, like a lion at its prey. Mr.
Bulletin, Gorham's whitening rebuke
and retaliatory remarks have been
.'based exclusively on facts on your
public record" The extracts convict
ing you Of being q traitor in 1861, are
TOO fresh in the minds Of your readers
for denial. The8tblacklegs'l Of the
Sacramento Union are the last ones to
question the political honesty or iuteg-

that right-,hinking Union men will not

made BY the Attorney General Of the
pardous Of Southern men, it appears
tha, the chief recommended OF pardons
was A. J. Hamilton, of Texas, whose
name appears as an endorser of no less
than 525 psrdoned rebels. Next comes
Gov. W. G. Brownlow, of Tennessee,
who recommended 26s; next, Gov.
Wells, of Louisiana, 256. Gov. MUIR
ply, of Arkansas, recommended l25;
toe President ordered the pardons of

commended 81; Gov. Fletcher, of Miss
ouri, 4s; Gov. Bradford, of Maryland,
IS; Gov. Marvin, of Florida, 81; and
Austin A. King, of Missouri, 55. From
the report it seems that neither party
can claim a monopoly of the pardon

party have been quite as anxious to get
rebels pardoned as men Of the other.

TIE new Dominion Of Canada is
threatened with that greatest curse Of
politics, a religious question. In Can
ada East, or Quebec, the Roman Catho-
lie religion is 10 the aseeudancy. 10
Canada West, or outario, the dominant
religion is Protestant, and the party in
power is largely tinged with orangeism.
A distinct Roman Catholic movement
in opposition to this Orange tendency
has been set on foot, and a formidable
organization effected for the purpose of
carrying the religious question into the
political campaign, the Roman Catho-
lies agreeing 10 a reeept Convention to
form an alliance with the Reform party
FOR their mutual benefit. The political
eon,es, among u ueighbors is already
warm. The introduction of religious
questions will carry it to fever heat.

TEE GREAT MEETING AT SACRAMENTO.
The night Of the 18th Of August, 1867,
will be a memorable one in the history
Of California. The abuse Of Gorham
had the effect to bring thousands TO hear
MIN who would otherwise have staid
away. The fairest estimate Of the num-
her present at the meeting, sets it down
1t 5000 people. These came from the
mountain and the sea, no doubt to sat
isfy the chosen leader of his party that
he would receive as cheerful support rs
was ever accorded to n Union candidate
IN this State. II Is not merely the vast
number present that marks 1t MS one OF
the most memorable meetings ever held
in California. The distance that mos
Of these present came should be remem-
bered-El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Sier.
ra, Yuba, San Joaquin, Solano, San
Francisco, Yolo, Suffer, Calaveras, and
many other counties were represented.
The mountains spoke to the sea. The
character Of the men who attended the
meeting should also be remembered, rs
we'll as the vast numbers present.
Never In California was there more en-
thusiasm exhibited at.a meeting. Cop
perheads on witnessing such an uprising
Of the people must agree that their ef-
forts have all come TO naught. Our
candidate has been found equal to every
emergency, and has been tr%iumphantly
sustained by the people.-AarysriW
