The national Republican. [volume] (Washington City [D.C.]) 1866-1870, 1868-10-26

A MEMORABLE passage in Frank Blair's late
speech ut st. Louis Is thus reported in the
publican: The point to which desire to bring
you is this, that In this struggle we have
everything at stake; that 1t is the final and
last struggle for the preservation Of free con.
stitutionsl government In American that II we
fail in 1t the Republic falls with us. 1t be-
comes the mere appendage OF the military
chieftain who 10 elevated TO power In the
name Of the Presidency. But he will never
leave the Presidential mansion so long AS he
lives have nothing to say against him per-
sOnally." In the Democrat "The point to
which ! desire to bring you Is this, that In
the struggle we have everything at stake; that
IL 10 the hnal and last struggle for the pre-.
servatiOn Of free constitutional government In
America; that II we fail In 1t the Republic
falls with U.S. 1t becomes mere appendage OF
the military chieftain who 10 lifted to power
In the name of the President, but who never
will leave the Presidential mansion alive
lSensation, followed by applause.l l know
that gentleman well, I have nothing 10 say
against him personally"
HERE is what the Staten Island Leader, the
organ OF the Democracy Of Richmond county,
New York, says: "Now that Grant-the cold
blOoded, hshy -hearted man Of butchering m IN.
ory-is on the real rebel side, and commands
their black hosts, 1t is only unity and deter
that will save this Republic. His election,
which can be only by fraud, bribery, and blood
letting, will result In anarchy aud revolution
Cromwell Dictator Grant, II self appointed or
elected, will be rellgiously prudent, not to go
to theatre on Good Friday night, fearing
thst he may be cast for one OF the leading
tragic parts, Julius CrsaT for instance, or first
clown, Lincoln. We had one expensive mock
black Grape mourning sensation may God
avert second, unless Republican liberty Ia to
lie sacrificed or saved !"
JUDGE KIRKLAND, OF New York, publishes
letter received from an intelligent and relia-
BILE friend in South CArolins, which closes as
fOllOws: THE State is in n condition of high
excitement, ready for explosion, and will eX.
plOde II seymour Is elected But II Grant 10
elected, ms now seems probable, all this angry
they Will know that they cannot get up Anoth 2
rebellion, and will submit to and acquiesce In
what they know will then be ineyitabIe; they
will do II reluctantly and ungracefully, II Is
true, but nevertheless they viii submit and
give up. Much OF this may surprise you,
friend kirkland, but 1t is all truei and should
seymour be elected, no Yankee can live in
South Carolina; and real estate, now very low,
would not, for the next ten years, sell for one
half It's present low price"
Tue HorM calls upon the democrats to
bring up and put in the "Old Guard" at this
crisis Of the political struggle. Napoleon
brought up" and "put inn the sold Guard"
Mt Waterloo, and Thdi came OGHi We suggest
to the World to run out the analogy.
