put Capt. E. w. Carter of the 4th Reg, into
this list. This has led Capt. Carter to clear
himself from such reproach by publishing
the following:
Mr.. EDITOR i was astonished to see in
the report of the Soldiers and Sailors Dem
ocratic Convention, at Montpelier, my name
inserted with others as delegate (alternate)
to the Democratic Convention at New York

too dearly, with thousand of Others to con-
quer the rebels at the South to be guilty of
any such act; and having been stationed
with other Vermont boys in the city of New
York, to prevent the friends of the rebels in
that city from violence and bloodshed, | do
not now propose to assist in the election of

company. He is an earnest and active Re
publican, and is pretty indignant at the I'M
warranted use of his name, and well he NAV
be, since man who by dint of the strongest
resolution marched for days when he was
sick enough to be lying on his bed, that he
might strike blow for his country at Gettys-
burg, is not the man to be accused even by
implication with an utilization with the draft
sneaks, rioters and towards who are the
friends of Horatio Seymour.

Blair once more.
July, l, 1865.

We print in another place the letter of z.
7. Blair, accepting the Democratic nomina-
ton. We do this, for the same reason that
we print the platform Of that party, that
our readers may Judge of the principles of
the party by the declarations of their rep
resentative men. The nomination of Sey-
mour for President has awakened scarcely any
enthusiasm among the Democracy in any
part Of the country. But Blair has brought
out yell of approval from all the Demo
cratic rebels of the south and the rebel
Democrats of the north, and it is to his doc
trines therefore to look for the prin-
cIples which are most attractive to the party.
This letter of acceptance is only a milder
form Of Blair's letter written just before the
convention. He sees but one issue in the
campaign, and that is, shall the south be
ruled by loyal men, or by rebels? 1t is true,
he does not state the proposition precisely
in this language, but that is the plain
English of what he says On this issue
Blair declares he il for the rebels. He calls
them white men, and disfranchised men, and
other mild terms, but we all know there are
rebels. Blair is opposed to congressional
reconstruction because it recognizes the fact
that there has been a gigantic struggle
against the life of the nation, and that the
men most conspicuous traitors are not the
men To control the formation of the new
and restored governments Of the south. He
wants Hampton, and Forrest, and Semmes,
and other rebel chiefs TO be put in power,
and any reconstruction that fails TO accom-
plish that object meets with Blair's most
rhetorical disapproval. This issue, in his
judgment, is quite superior TO questions OF
tariffs, taxation or currency, and all other po-
liticaI issues should be subOrdinated TO it.
Blair does mt at the outset counsel the rebels
to violently resist the reconstruction acts,
although he tells them they are unconstitu-
tional and void, and if he were president he
would so treat them. He takes the same
ground the south did in 1S60,-he will try
the ballot first and revolution afterwards.
lie calls the reconstruction acts-,which are
as much laws of the land the tax laws, or
any other enactment of the last seven years,
SC the usurpations of a fragment of Con-
rrese" and arraigns Gen. Grant as the mill
tary dictator, @ the mailed warrior whose
blvonets are now at the throat of 200, 900
of people in the SOUTH Is not this revo-
Iutionary talk? Does it not arouse every
slumbering evil spirit of the late rebellion?
l. it a matter Of surprise that Forrest, and
Sumner, and Wise and Vance. should hail
Blair anG the party that puts him in nom
nation, as the terminated body of their old
treason
What man, who fought with Grant against
traitors, Will vote with Blair and the
traitors against Grant?

Gen. Candy has issued an order committing
70 the civil authorities of North and South
Carolina, under the constitutions approved
by Congress, all the authority conferred upon
and hitherto exercised by him, in those
states. Thus the work Of reconstruction
proceeds, and the southern states are rapidly
being entirely freed from ony irl.orfcrenoe of
the military with the civil power. Indeed,
if it had not been for the factious opposition
of the Democratic party of the South to the
constitutions proposed for ratification in the
southern states, every lately rebel state would
before this have been entirely relieved from
military government, and in the full enjoy
ment of civil liberty. Yet Blair and the
Democrats have the brazen impudence to
assert that the Republicans are maintaining
in, and fastening upon the South, military
dcspotism. But then, these Democrats call
the reign of order and free government a
military despotism. Their idea of civil lib
erty is the liberty of the Democratic party
to rule the country, and the liberty of the
rebels to rule the South.

If one desires to know the way the late

This one sentiment contains a decara-

Both Houses of Congress having passed
the bill granting increased protection to
American citizens abroad, it now goes to the
President for his action. After reasserting
the American doctrine of repatriation, the
bill declares that all naturalized citizens shall
receive the same protection abroad is ac-
corded to native born citizens and that
when it Is made known to the President that
such naturalized citizen is uniustly deprived
of his liberty by any government, the Presi-
dent shall demand of said government the
reasons therefor, and, if unsatisfactory, he
shall demand the release of the citizen. If
this is not granted within a reasonable time,
then the President is to use such means. not
amounting to acts of war, as he shall deem
proper, to effect the release, and inform Con
gress of all the facts relating thereto. The
retaliatory measures which were provided
for in the bill, as it came from the House,
and which we sometime since condemned i'll
the FREEMAN, were stricken out by the Sen
ate by large majority The bill, in its
present shape, is unobjectonable except to
those who are anxious to bully foreign
governments. and get up foreign war upon
the slightest provocation.
