they are. They need no, comment:
The new rebellion will array the peo-
pie OF the United States against two hun
dred thousand negroes and two hundred
white negroes in Congress. God save
the Radical Rebels if they bring on more
war, for the people won't save them.
The great Democratic party will rise
IN its might and majesty, and pulverize
and purge the Congress, just as Crom-
well purged the long Parliament. The
signs OF the times are pregnant with re-
slstance to Radical tyranny, and the dag
ger OF Brutus may aid in ACCOMPLISHING
our redemption from Radical rule. ruin
and usurpation.
AT recent Democratic Convention
held in Atlanta, GA, one of the speakers,
Clarke by name, pledged himself before

The Memphis (Tennesse) Avalanche, in
alluding to Blair's letter, says ..,
For uttering similar sentiments to the
above we have been denounced and call
ed imprudeut. Had the above extract
appeared in the Avalanche as editorial,
the political fossils would have raised
their hands in holy horror, and stigBsatis-
Ell as q reU0Lationist. We would have
been taunted with the worn out stereop-
typed complaint that such imprudent px-
pressions injure the Northern Democra-
cy and the Southern people in the north.

General Thomas Ewing Jr., declared
at the Washington ratifcation:-
On the Sd of November next the. a
'merican people will endeavor to restore
those States to their constitutional rights.
Should this by a possibility fail, the white

The Richmond Examiner denounces
Senator Buckalew's apology for Blair's
letter, and affirms:
If this is the mode in which the
platform it to be vindicated and defend
ed, 1t would be better to have another
Convention and call it in. Better strike
flag than defend it in such a fashion.
And it this is the kind of battle which
the Democratic champions are to lead,
they might rs well abandon the field, for
they are whipped already. The South,
at least, means something when they pro-
test against negro supremacy recon-
struction as intolerable, and as eternal
war, not peace.
Captain, brother of Thomas Mar
shall, said, at a Kentucky Democratic
ratification meeting, that
"He was enthusiastic in support of
Seymour, and gave his reasons therefor.
Seymour was nominated as War Demo-
crat, for the reason that no other could

but he had never given any aid or sup

ton of the war, when it could:be avoid

i'll Pennsylvania, and the Government
called on Seymour, who was then Cover
nor of New York, to furnish troops to
expel them, he answered in the same
manner, if not in the same language, as
the Governor of Kentucky in 1861, viz:
that lie acOuld not send Mena. He did send
them. however, for tile reason thut he acus

Toombs, in his late Georgia speech, ar
gued that all the action of the Govern
ment in reference to the South for the
last three years was void and of no eff

The St Louis Times declares:
If Mr. Blair becomes President and
swears to obey the Constitution, and
fails to overthrow the oligarchy estab-
ished by Brownlow in Tennessee, Blair
would be peTured.
There is but one way to restore the
Government aud the Constitution, and
that is for the President elect to declare

void, compel the army to undo its usurp-
ltions at the South, disperse the carpet

ltors and Representatives.
A leading Democrat in an adjoining

Democrats succeeded they would restore

years ago, but to what it was, eight years
lgo, or before the war.
