FUN ABOUT FRANK BLAIR.

From speech by George II. Earle, delivered in
Philadelphia, Sept. s
Why was Mr. Blair nominated? People
said from his portraits he did not look like
a bondholder but that is not his fault
People generally supposed that his taste and
talents lay in a different direction. Thus, as
candidate for gauger, distiller, or inspector,
he would be irresistible. Did he not, when
he heard that Horatio Seymour, as an anna
teur farmer. had been putting in hay, go
right off and put in little more rye? The
American Senate is dignitied body, and
has been presided over by gentlemen OF the
old school, like George NJ. Dallas. The
Democracy, remembering the traditions of
this . our House of Lords could not over
look Mr. Blair's declaration at Terre Hsute,
- that he would rather sleep any time with a
niger than with Democrat. A French
contemporary perceves lin the light of this
declaration) evidence of profound policy
on the part of the Democratic Convention
While Mr. Seymour is to receive the whole
rebel vote, this sentiment of Mr.. Blair the
Frenchman thinks) will secure him the
whole African vote OF this, however, he
is not so certain, for the Africans, unlike
the Democracy, may have prejudice
against sleeping with Mr.. Blair.
Again, with profound sense of the reti-
cence and respect due to the coordinate
branch of the Government over which he ex-
poets to preside did not Mr.. Blair declare in
the Broadhead letter, with trankncss APP
propriate to his name, that the (Amerlcan)
senate was to be: in certain contingencies
compelled? Yes, compel was the word
but what did that mean? That with 6Iare
of his trumpe: he would summon the Ku-
klux Khan? Not a bit of it but only if
the Senate was refractory he would decline
to preside, which would at once bring them
to terms.
Mr. Blair pleasantly spoke in the Broad
head letter, which was singularly misnamed,
there was SO little breadth of head about il,
Of overturning the reconstructed Government
by force. This was a Joke, or an allusion,
intended to remind the American people of
the war. and the loss of life and treasure
which had resulted from the last attempt of
that kind made by the rebels. Would not
the conservative classes, and those who have
a horror of renewed bloodshed, feel gratified
at the probable results of an attempt to
- compel" the Senate and oyerturn seven
State Governments at the point of the bayo-
net?
Mr. Blair has his enemies. Who has not
Col. Thomas of our city, mentions that some
six years since he, with others, held our flu
ture Vice President up when intoxicated,
and, in spite of it all, he made pretty
good Republican speech. - In vino veritas. =
But this Injuries the Republicans, for plainly
the spirit which then oyercame him was
evil, why did he denounce the rebels p
But now he is converted to orthodox Demo
cracv-he has reformed. 1t DON require
when speaking now near so many men to
hold him up as 1t did then.

have the audacity to call themselves the
party ofthe Union.
They want only to be let alone, and they
will restore the government to its former
int egrity. They ash tho people OF the
country to sustain their platform and the
political millennium will be reached NO
debt, contracted for the most sacred OF op-
jccts, shall disturb us.
They are consistent only in one thing; IN
determined opposition to the cause OF truth
and progress, to the cause for which such
sacrifices have been made, and not made In
vain.
But two or three years ago they hailed
Gen. Grant as the successor of W ashington :;
no modern general had surpassed his won
derful deeds Leading Democratic papers
never were weary of sounding his praises,
and predicting that his victories in peace
would be more brilliant than they had been
in war. To-day he stands precisely as he
did them and we find s. H. L. Grant" called

ments Of restocking the rivers of France,
Germany and Great Britain warrant the te-
lief that the acres of ponds and rivers IN the
State of Vermont can be made to produce an
annual yield of fish that will be of more value
than the agricultural products of an equal
number of acres selected in any part OF the
State. Were | not in possession OF reliable
official documents attcstingto similar facts In
Great Britain, would not believe the state
ment myself, and be very far from making
it in this public manner.
Nearly every intelligent citizen of Vermont
who has given the subject any attention. is
convinced that it will rodound greatly to the
interest of the State to appropriate liberalty
toward the restocking of the Connecticut.
Winooski and other streams, once SO
prolific in salmon The simple fact that sal
mon invariably return from the salt water to
their native streams, and when no obstruc
tions intervene, to the identical spawning
bed where they were born, is sufficient
guarantee that if we take measures for hatch
ing them we shall again see them after they
have got their growth in the sea and return
o fresh water to propagate their species
Fortunately, we have no no high dams in the
Connecticut to impede the upward progress
of the fish above Bellows Falls. At that
place it will perhaps be best to build fish
way.
But Massachusetts, Is not fortunate.
Two large fishways have already been built
in that State within the last two years-one
over the high dam on the Merrimac, at Law
renee. and one over the dam at Lowell.
Had it not been for the unsafe condition
of the dam at Holyoke, one would have been
in progress over that dam. AS soon as suit
able repairs are made to the dam, tishway
will soon be built over that -
We hope for the credit of the State that
| Vermont will not refuse to do her share IN
this work, and trusting in the intelligence OF
the people we's shall expect she will promtly
do her whole duty when called upon.

A DEMOCRATIC ARGUMENT ANswKRED.-A
writer in the Chicago Post quite coutemptu-
ously and effectuaily disposes of the Demo
cratic bugbcar of not allowing negroes any
rights because, forsooth, g negro equality y
might lead to misccgenatIon, as follows
political equality is one thing, social
equality is another thing. Political equal
ity is of the law. Social equality is of the

says, Stand back
Teddy O'Flaherty votes. He has not
been in the country six months. But he has
been through Dan O'Hara's court. lie is
naturalized. Terence O'Manty swore for
him that he had been five years in the
United States that he was a jintleman OF
good moral character, and Dan O'Hara
knew that he was Democrat. And so he
was naturalized, of course.
He has hair on his teeth. He never knew
an hour in civilized society He never
stepped on anything more solid than dirt
floor all his life until he stood on the deck
OF an emigrant ship. OF course he can't
read He can't write. All books to him

ions sake is his practice.
Do American women after Teddy
~ Flaherly are tney In nastc 10 marry
him? Oh, father of beautiful daughter
are you afraid that she will break away from
YOUR love and kindness and make Teddy a
companion? Yet, how much less danger of
her marrying a Niger The black man. if
he has been at all favored by the chances
that slavery afforded, is the superior OF
Teddy in the things which women value,
but his color is against him, and SO Cuffec
and Paddy are equal-the first having the
most civilization the latter, being the
whitest.
Now, marriage is not thing of the law
save and except as the law directs how ii
shall be celebrated. If a decent women
wants to marry Teddy O'Flaherty. the laws
takes no cognizance of her low desire. II
she wants to marry a niger, the law is
equally dumb When, then, you can point
out to us that the race of Americans is in
danger of destruction by the admixture of
the O'Flaherty blood, we shall be ready to
believe that it is in danger of deterioration
by the admIxture of niger blood. Putting
color aside, what is there to choose between
Teddy and Cuffee ?
Teddy has not deteriorated the American
blood Why then fear that with those
obstacles of race and color in the way. the
niger will accomplish that in which the
Irish have failed?
Bah This appeal to the fear of the popu-
lace that we must have a care lest this coon
try, - like Mexico,'' be ruined by mixed
race, is only the gable of rascals who want
to perpetrate injustice under cover of a pop
ular prejudice. Mexico was not ruined
either. The persist, bishops, monks, nuns,
operating upon the Catholic laity did the jot
for that unhappy Republic. Just as Catho-
licism, which is despotism. goes out, Mexico
rises.
The danger of miscegenation, white with
black, is, then, as remote as that Teddy

Salmon in the Connecticut.

We understand that an appropriation will
be called for at the approaching session of
the Legislature for funds to purchase salmon
spawn to put into streams that are now be-
ing made accessible for sea fish by means of

aid, from one Of the State Commissioners of
River Fisheries, that Massachusetts has ex-
pended $4,000 since April. 1865, while the
whole amount appropriated for five years by
the Vermont Legislature is only $500

isWe all want the Connecticut and other
streams in Vermont stocked with salmon. The
project is feasible one, and needs only a
moderate outlay of money to ensure success.

O'Flaberty will succeed in making his way
by marriage into the American families BY
whom he Is abhOrred. a
There is not Democrat who would not
bell over with rage if we should tell him
that Cuffcc could accomplish that in which
Teddy failed Let US dismiss, then, this
question of the degeneration of the blood as
that is unworthy of cur notice-as one OF
the man sellers have raised to obscure the
merits of the issue before the people.
When, after both Teddy and Cuffee are
civilized, they want to marry white women
and the white women are willing, we should
like to see the law that would prevent them:
But the truth is that with civilization will
come that dislike to mixture of blood which
white and black alike maintain.

WoULD SHOUT FOR GRANT WHEN Drunk.
An amusing story is told in connection
with one of our democratic clubs on saturday
night last, that certainly is worthy OF rela-
ton. A stalwavt darkey, who had been
drinking the health of Seymour and Blair
with his generous admirers too freely, per-
haps feeling the heat of the hall somewhat
oppressive, came down on the walk for a
breath of fresh air. Sambo was happy
decidedly happy; he had Toasted and drank
with his democratic brothers until in that
salubrous condition when all seemed Colour
de rose. In fact, with capon well lined,
and his sack filled up to the brim. he leaned
against the wall in blissful meditation, as
fair picture of complacent democracy as
one would wish TO see. Suddenly he started
from his reveric at the sound of distant music
and echoes of a well known name that came

too much for Samho,s democracy. His gen

pledges, and all, We're forgotten, and his
friends in the hall were startled by loud
sonorous shout, ringing out strong and clear,
''Hurrah for Grant -
Three or four white and one colored broth
er came hurriedly out to put stop to
such obnoxious shouts in proximity to the
meeting There stood Sambo, poised in a
bracing attitude beside the curbstone, swing
ing his old straw hat about his head and
shouting at the top of his lungs, '.Hurrah

and plucking him by the sleeve says, Nov
