the ink was hardly dry before it was en-
dorsed by his nomination. ] repeat, sir,
this letter is part of the Democratic plat
form. General Blair, whatever you may
say of him, is bold. outspoken man, and
he spoke the sentiments of that conyen-
tion. lie says: "Uron these sentiments ]
want TO stand before the convention. y
And upon these sentiments lie was nomi-
mated. Therefore, say that the language
of the Democratic Convention of New
York to the whole country, is war, resis-
tance by force of arms to Congressional
legislation; the overthrow by force of arms
of the governments that have been created
in the rebel States under the laws enacted
by Congress; the continuance of this
struggle in somewhat different form, but
still the same struggle, contending for the
same principles. 1t is now announced
formally, not at Montgomery, not at Rich
mond, but at New York. The country
need not be at a loss TO understand the
charctcr Of the contest upon which we are
entering. II Is not one of peace and ac-
quiescence, of consolidation, whereby tie
ravages of war may be repaired, but it is a
new declaration of war to a new announce
ment of the rebellion under somewhat DIFF
fcrent circumstances, but under circum-
stances formidable, dangerous and solemn.
Let the country look the struggle in the
face. General Blair has said truly that all
that has been said about grcenbacks and
bonds and the question of finance, is mere
nonsense. The great issue is the question
of overturning the new State governments
by force, the restoration Of the power of
the rebels, or, as they call it, the white
mans government in those States, and all
the rest is leather and prunne!s. We owe
debt of gratitude TO General Blair for his
iranlncss. There need be no deception
praclised now, and there can be none.
There can be 40 other issue presented sub
sfantially to us but that of the future pros
pcrity of the country. If Seymour shall
be elected upon that platform, he stands
pledged TO use the army of the United
States for the purpose Of overturning the
governments that have been established in
the South by the whole people, and by
that army to place the power back again
into the hands of the rebels. They were
with them in that convention; they have
given to hin their counsel, they have en-
dorscd Mr. Seymour and the convention,
and all have endorsed General Francis p.
Blair. / know we shall be told in the
Northwest that they intend TO have the
same currency for the bondholder and the
laborcr. They will proclaim the taxation
of the bonds rs the great issue upon which
they expect to get votes; but that will also
be a deception. The great issue underly-
ing the whole contest (and we have the
solemn declaration Of their candidate for
Vice President 10 that efTecD will be the
renewal Of the war to overturn the State
Governments that have just then establish
ell under the acts of Congress; General
Blair has relieved the Republican party of
great deal of labor; has unmasked the
enemy with whom we have TO deal, an,l-bc
has placed before the country the very is
sue-peacc or war.

tied to protection in all their rights of citi
zcnship, as though, they were native born
and no citizen of the United States, native
or naturalized, must bc liable to arrest and
Imprisonment by any foreign power for
acts done or words spoken in this country
and, if so arrested and so imprisoned, it Is
the duty OF the government 10 interfere in
his behalf.
Y. OF all who were faithful in the trials
ofthe late war, there were none more enti-
tied to more especial honor than the brave
soldiers and seamen who endured the
hardships of campaign and cruise, and i'm
periled their lives in the service of the
country; tho bounties and pensions provi
ded by the laws for these brave defenders
of the nation, are obligations never to be
forgotten; the widows and orphans Of the
gallant dead are the wards of the people
a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation 5
protecting care.
NJ. Foreign immigration. which in the
past has added so much wealth, develope-
ment and resources, and increase of power
to this republic, the asylum Of the opprcss-
ed of all nations, should be fostered and
encouraged by liberal and just policy.
MI. This Convention declares itself in
sympathy with all oppressed people strug-
Cling for their rights.
MI. We highly commend the spirit OF
magnanimity and forbearancc with which
men who served in the rebellion, but who
now frankly and honestly cooperate with
us in restoring the peace of the country
and reconstructing rhc Southern State gov
ernments upon the basis of impartial JUS
tice and equal rights, are received back
into the communion of the loyal people;
and we fa ,or the removal Of the disqualifi-
cation and restrictions imposed upon the
late rebels in the same measure as their
spirit of loyalty will direct, and as may be
consistent with the safety of the loyal pco-
pie.
NV. We recognize the great principles
laid down in the immortal Declaration Oi
Independence, as the true foundation ol
democratic government; and we hail with
g.adness every effort toward making these
principles living reality on every inch OF
American soil.

Some ages prior to Matthew Prior,
Fslsehood and Truth, "upon a time"
One day in Junc's delicious weather,
CTwas In distant age and ciime,)
Like sisters, took walk together,
On, on their merry way they took,
Through fragrant wood and verlant meadow,
To where beech beside brook
Invited rest beneath its shadow,
There, sitting in the Pleasant sha.'e,
Upon the margins grassy mating,
"a velvet cushion ready madc),
The young companions fell to chatting.
Now, while in voluble discourse,
On this and that their tongues were running,
AS habit bids each speak-pcrfercc,
The one is frank; the other cunning,
Fslsehocd, at length impatient grown,
With scandals of hcr own creation.
Said, '.Since we two quite alone,
And nicely screened from observation,
Suppose in this delightful rill,
While all around is so propitious,
We take bath?''-Said Truth, IL viii
A hath. I'm sum, will bc de- i.ious,''
At this her robe she cast aside.
And in the stream that ran before her
She plunged-likc Oceans happy bride
As naked as her mother bore heri
Faleehood at leisure undrcsscd,
Put OF the robes her limbs that hamper,
And having donned Truths snowy vest,
Ran of as fast as she caldd scampcr,
Since then the subtle maid, in sooth,
Expert in lies and shrcwd cvasions.
Has borne the honest name Of Truth,
And wears her clothes all occasions,
While Truth, disdaiping to aJ,i.car
In Falschood's pctticoats and bo,ldioe,
still braves all eyes from year TO yeai,
As naked as a marble go,ldcss.

Is one Rebel worth two Lo,n, We.

The population of Maine in 1860 was 62S 279:
the population OF South Carolina 7O3,7O8. of
which 412,32O were colored, and 291 1923 white.
Maine has six representatives and South Car
DINA four. This apportionment was unjust
under the old reglDle, for the whites of South
carolina, minority of all the people, got rep
resehtaton not only for themselves but for
Hfee.fVths of the blacks. But this inequality
Is nothing to that which will exist in case the
Democratic policy prevails. That policy pro-
poses, first, to dlstranehise the colored men,
and second, to dispute the validity of the 14th
constitutional amendment which makes pro-
portionate reduction in the representation of
those States that disfranchise any class of cit
iZehs Tor any reason but crime The result
would be that South Carolina ouId be enti-
Tied to as many Representatives in Congress
as Maine The case would then stand thus:
In South Carolina 1854 whites would have
one Representative in Congress; while in
Maine 1O4712 white men would be entitled to
the same. Two laborers of the North would
have their votes balanced by a ballot deposit
ed by one secessionist in South Carolina.
There is no possible escape from this conclu'
sion. No honest Democrat cares to deny that
his party proposes to overthrow the recon-
struction acts which have gwen the ballot TO
the negro, and to override the amendment to
the constitution that cuts down representa-
ton in the same ratio that men are dsfran-
chised. This is e1actty the thing they propose
to do. l....rE ..r-.....f...s.....

Il4 Lock mt the Facts and Figures.
TAX ON MANUFACTURES REDUCED 100000
IN THE FIRST DISTRICT.
James A. Briggs, Esq, of New York City,
who is now addressing the Republicans of
Maine, deserves the thanks OF all our citizens
for exploding in the most conclusive and un-
answerable manner the thousand and on
Democratic lies and Copperhead misrep-
resentations in regard to taxation. A fact
in relation to Mr.. Briggs not generally known
has recently come to our knowledge which,
we are sure, well commend him still more to
the gratitude and respect of all. Had it not
been for Mr.. Briggs, Abraham Lincoln would
never have made that great speech in Coop
er Institute, N. Y, on the 9th of February,
which perhaps even more than his great joint
debate with Douglas in 1858 gave him na-
tional reputation and made him President.
He wrote the invitation to Mr.. Lincoln in be-
half of the young men of Brooklyn, and induc-
ed them SO far to change their plans as to
have the address at Cooper Institute instead
of in Brooklyn.
The following important facts we find in
Mr. Briggs speech at Bath as reported in the
Times:
There is no end to the representations OF
the Democratic papers and speakers in rela-
tion to the government taxes. l hold in my
hand"a political and family newspaper .
named, "The Maine Standard" and in an ed
itorial article in this paper it is stated, "that
every dollar of tax the railroad pays on its re
ceipts for carrying freight is charged in the
freight bill, and is added into the selling price
of the goods OF the seller, and is paid by the
consumer" The editor of this paper knows,
| or he ought to know. that the tax on receipts
| OF freight on railroads was repealed two years
| ago, and railroads are taxed on their receipts
tor passengers. "a large part OF the stamp
| tax is paid by the poorer class, Says this same
paper. Let him go to the poorer class and ask
| them if this declaration is true. The receipts
| of the Internal Revenue Department or the
sale of stamps for the year of 1866 was $I5,-
O44.373,1S. "Deeds, mortgages, legal instru-
ments, receipts and notes" are not executed
| to any great extent by the poorer classes they
| do use "luciter Matches" and the receipts tol
| stamps on matches for 1866 was $1,000 900
This sum divided among 100000 families
would not make an enormous tax.

ard Editor says, "a pound Of wool from thu
