THE NORTHERN PRESS ON THE
CAMPAIGN.
From the Cincinnati Gazette


The World is clear out at last in support
of the Blair policy, as We said the other
day it would be. 1t says, speaking Of
Blair's letter:
There is nothing in that letter which
we could wish him to retract OF explain
away. His position is, chat If Democratic
President is elected, the negro reconstruc-
ton can not stand.o
So there you have it. Frank Blair has
at least done one good thing, he has COM
PEELED the World to avow lust what is to be
the policy of Seymour's administration, in
the event of his election. Again the World
says:
when the Democratic party has elected
the next President it will be manifest to
everybody that the negro governments
can not be permanent. If The Senate and
the Southern negroes shall then yield to
the will OF the country, we shall have i'm
mediate tranquility. But if they choose
to make facious opposition, the Southern
whites will probably cut the gordian knot
without waiting for chance 10 the Senate
to have it united. If the negro govern
mants should Suddenly collapse a Demo-
cratic administration will not interpose to
resuscitate them, and the local authority
will easily revert into the hands of the
whites. If there should be deviation from
the usual forms it will be because the SEN
ate and the negroes refuse to comply with
the will Of the majority as expressed in the
Presidential election" -
This journal tries to draw it mild. SO il
talks OF revolution, anarchy, and the VIC
lent overthrow of the new governments in
the South as deviation from the usual
forms.n
The first rebellion, according to Mr..
Nasty, was q little "onpleasantness," the
second rebellion, according TO the World,
is only deviation from the usual forms.n
The people will choose between Seymour
and Blair and Grant and Colfax, and in so
choosing will elect whether we are TO have
peace or war.
From the Albany Evening Journal
BLAIR AND SEYMOUR AND WAR,-Whea
the Democratic party has elected the next
President it will be manifest to everybody
that the negro governments can not be per-
manent. II the Senate and the Southern
negroes shall then yield to the will Of the
country, we shall have Immediate tran
guilty. But if they choose 10 make fac
fions opposition, the Southern whites will
probably cut the gordian knot without
waiting for change in the Senate to have
it united. p World, Ne ltaG
Thus is repeated the distinct and une-
quivooal threat of revolution with which
the Democratic party has entered this
canvass.
What the World calls Hnegro Govern
ments," what Frank Blair styles carpet
bag Governments" what every true Union |
man knows to be Constitutional Govern |
ments, based upon loyalty and equal |
rights, have already been established at the
South.
The Fourteenth amendment has been ae-
cepted and is part Of the fundamental law |
Of the land. II left the States to determine |
the suffrage under certain conditions. |
Most Of them accepted these conditions.
and are now thoroughly reconstructed.
The government Of Alabama. Or Of Geor-
gia, is in this respect as valid. and as far
