s'If this is the mode in which the plat
form is to be indicated and defended, it
would be better to hold another convention
and call it in. Better strike flag than de-
fcnd it in such fashion. And if this is
the kind of battle which the Democratic
champions are to lead, they might rs well
abandon the field, for they are whipped al
ready, The South, ut least, means some
thing when they protest against negro su.
premacy reconstruction as lntolcrablc, and
as eternal war and not peace" '7o .AAb
General Thomas F. Bowie, the leading
Democrat of Maryland, said in his Baltimore
speech ,,a a9li-,fisasl yas eift

: One of the speakers at the recent Georgia
Democratic Convention said: sH5s
"There might once have been necessity tor
the rebels of Georgia to submit to the mill
tary authorities, but there is none now. The
Democratic chivalry of the North are march
ing to our rescue. Gen. Lee used sometimes
to issue orders to us to hold our position o
little longer and reinforcements should be
sent to our rescue, and that would inspire
us to fight until we wrested victory often
from the very jaws of defeat. We are fight
ing now another battle. The enemy presses
as hard. But let US hold our position a
little longer, and the Democracy of the
of the North will be here to our assistance
and make victory perch upon our banners"
Captain Marshall, brother of Thomas
Marshall, said, at recent Kentucky Demo-
cratic ratification, that he was enthusiastic
in support of Seymour. and gave his reasons
therefor Seymour was nominated as a
War Democrat, for the reason that no other
could win. He was called War Democrat,
but he had never given any aid or support
to the Government in prosecution of the
war when it could be avoided. In 1868,
when the rebel troops were in Pennsylvania,
and the Government called on Seymour,
who was then Governor of New York, to
furnish troops to expel them, he answered in
the same manner, if not in the same Ian
guagc, rs the Governor Of kentucky in 1861,
viz that he would not send them. He did
send them, however. for the reason that
lie was unable to do otherwise" .'''I'
The New York World says: nh'
I" For as many crimes against law, Consti-
tuition, and human nature us our Congress
commits, the British people would smash
Parliament and hang peers and commOners
in Hyde Park saT '''F
BLOOD is thicker than water. Race
stands by race, all except rump Congress
men. They stand by the negroes whom
they stir up to rebellion. ..
~" The new rebellion will array the people
of the United States against two hundred
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. ai0177 7e' .'''' p
/" In case of a new rebellion, JEFF Davis
will have chance to 60 bail for his bonds
man, whose paper now stirs up the war;"
The Mobile Tribune asserts: ,-.r.
"The great Democratic party will rise in
its might and majesty, and pulverize and
purge the Congress, just as Cromwell purged
the long Parliament. The signs of the times
are; pregnant with resistance to Radical
tyranny, and the dagger of Brutus may aid
in accomplishing our redemption from Rad
ical rule, ruin, and usurpation."
jsAt the Democratic Convention held in
Atlanta, Ga, last week one oft1 speakers,
Clarke by name, "pledged himself before
God to fight to the last the newlg governments
that had been set up in the South" The
Memphis (Tenn) Aoalanche, in abiding to
Blair's letter, says: " ~ 20 p s''''-'
iHa For uttering similar sentiments to the
above VIC have been denounced and called
imprudent. Had the above extract appeared
in the Asalanche rs editorial, the political
fossils would have raised their hands in holy
horror, and stigmatized US as revolution
list. Wewould have been tainted with the
WORKOUT stereotyped complaint that such
imprudcnt expressions injure the Northern
Democracy and the Southern people in the
North But, strange to say. it was the pub
LEGATION Of the letter, from which we take
the above extracts, that secured Mr.. Blair
his nomination for the Vice Presidency.
Thus it will be seen that the North is far
ahead of the South. They arc ripe for revo-
luton.
The Charleston Va, Chronicle says:
General Blair was an a6olitionist and
war man; but those are dead issues, and if
he was sincere in his recent letter, he will
answer our purpOse."rb Dlas7.iAsi so
Humphrey Marshall asserted in his Louis
vile speech that if the Democratic ticket
was elected, his party would "wipe out' all
that had been done in the way Of reconstruc-
ton, and the fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution s safi5lagta 90,
Jonn Forsythe proclaims through the col.
umns of the Mobile Advertiser:
mississippi must vote, and the Democracy
must see to its being counted. Texas and
Virginia cannot 60 through with the Radical
programme in time to be admitted before
the election as Congress will adjourn before
hand. But they must vote" -,aia,. 'I
"Toombs in his late Georgia speech argued
that all the action of the Government in re-
ference to the South for the last three years
was void and Of no effect. The st. Louis
Times declares: 'r'esrFs''
"If Mr.. Blair become President, and swear
to obey the Constitution, and fail to over
throw the oligarchy established by Brown
low in Tennessee, Blair would be perjured.
EThere is but one way to restore the Gov
ernment and the Constitution, and that is
for the President elect to declare these (re-
construction) acts null and void, compel the
army to undo its usurpations at the South,
dlsperse the carpet bag State governments,
allow the white people to reoreanize their
own governments, and elect Senators and
Representatives" t 80 ..;4 X ~
II give my hearty support to Seymour and
Blair, because the latter is pledged in favor
of the cause of the South by military power.
