We suppose it is divulging no sec

politicians here do not exactly note
on Gen. Frank Blair's Convention
letter. The Republican, curiously
enough take to it amazingly 4; and in
the course OF the House debate on
Saturday it was read no less than
three times at the request of Repub.
lican members. In the Senate, by
request of Republican members, it
was not only read, but its insertion
directed in the Globe, as matter of
record. In the Convention it seems
to have considered a very good letter,
and it doubtless secured his nomina.

Epi1or FLAG 1.-The colored people OF this

afternoon o. Thursday last, Ia The rdtress Of
Mr. Copk, of Baltimore. Mr.. Cook is an ed.

oughly acquainted With the political qucs-
tions Of the dry. The way lie hAndles the
potideai Coassrrahts doctors, who are cndeay-
oring TO mislrad the colored people in the
canvass Of this State, upon the proposed
Constitution, Is most admirable. and such as
Is well calculated To show up these tricksters
to the scOrn and utter contempt Of all honest
men. Their hypocricy, miserable lying, and
want Of principle even all handled without
gloves, much TO the delight aud edifcation of
bis hearers. This dd homiBlm argument upon
their seeming dislike of social equality was
the most pointed mirth Of provoking and en-
ioyable things Of the kind ! everslistened to,
These excavations Of Withers, Walker & Co.,
were perfect of their kind, and such as not
TO leave these geu.lman IN a very enyiable po-
sition. There were a number Of the Conser-
vative white citizens present, who seemed to
enjoy his p~alpable hits and home tbrusts Mt
their champions quite well, There wore one
or two among the number, however, who are
not very noted for having a superabundance
Of brains, who INDUCED in a few grunts and
bowls, which showed that these shots went
home.
Mr.. Cook is the " right man in the right
place" and ought to be heard In every neigh
borhoood in this Safe. His address in this
place has done much to dispel the miStS from
the ewes Of the colored people.
Several who were Conservative in their
views before, and Others who were Mkewdrm,
are now all right If Wilhers Is Vance could
only make us ore or two more visits, followed
by Cook, ] think all would vote the Radical
ticket. GEORGE WossoN.
