A SPEECH raox GENERAL BLAIR.


Frank Blair, the Democratic candidate for
vice-President, was recently in Benton as one
of the Commissioners OF the Pacific Railroad,
and was compelled by his admirers there to
make speech. He delivered himself as fol-
| lows:

"THE MAN ON HORSEBACK"
The last OF the "dissolsing views" Of the
New York Herald is the ''one-man" on SO
charger" That paper says:
As the first result of the American election,
the neonle of the United States will have cho-
sen a new President for four years. Many
thousands of men Of different race, just ibe-
rated from slavery, will vote, and further dis
turbance OF the constitutional equilibrium
must follow the election Of either OF the candi-
dates now before the people. How will it
eventuate? In one man power or reunion?
The appearances incline to the former. We
have entered on revolutionary era. The
coming elections will herald revolutionary
changes in both hemispheres.
THE DESPERATE PURPOSE OF THE RADICALS
OPENLY AyowED.
At meeting of the Radicals, recently held
at Saline, Missouri, one Johnson, candidate for
Attorney General Of the State, used the follow
ing language:
There could and should be but one result to
the election this fall-that Gen. Grant, backed
by the army and supported by the whole Radl-
cal party, would prevent with the bayonet tue
Inauguration Of Democratic administrator
at Washington, and that the Radical State
Government at Jefferson would resist and put
down in the same way any attempt to lnauSu'
rate the Democratic party into power Id this
State.
This was not said under excitement, for dur
ing speech oftwo hours, he repeatedly urged
as reason why Democrats should not vote
any but the Radical ti'ket, that their votes
would else be thrown away; for no matter what
the result OF the election, they (the Radicals)
were fully determined that Democratic ad-
ministration should not be established, except
through bloody civil war.
RADICAL ANXIETY TO CARRY THE SOUTHERN
ELECTIONS BY FORCE.
A Washington telegram to the New York
Herald says:
The Southern Radicals are still urging the
Radical Congressional Committee to issue 8
call, as agreed on at the last session, deciding
