FROM SOUTHERN PAHERS-WAR THREAT
ENED-BLAIRISM JUSTIFIED, DE-
FINED AND ILLUSTRATED.
After quoting Blair's letter, the Mem
phis 4uaItnchc say
For uttering similar sentiments to the
above, we would have been denouced and
called imprudent Had the above APP
pcared in the Araldnche as editorial, the
plitical fossils would have raised their
hands in holy horror, and stigmatized us
as revolutionists We would have been
tainted with the worn out stcreotyped
complaint that such imprudent express
ions iniure the northern democracy and
the southern people in the north. But,
strange to say, it was the publication of
the letter from which we take above
extract that secured Mr.. Blair his MONT
nation for vice presidency Thus 1t will
be seen that the north is far ahead of the
south. They are ripe for revolution
They are determined that all the infam.
Gus and unconstitutional legislation of
radicalism shall be wiped out. The posi-
ton which General Blair has taken,
strong as it is, had been echoed by the
democracy of the north. This fact shows
an intensity OF feeling against radlcalism
more bitter than that which exists in the
south
ssIn fact it is right here that the shoe
pinches has devoted himself, not
only to defeating the radical party, but
to undoing their Infamous acts.They know
from the character of the man, that he
will devote his life to this work. Ills
souri, Blair raper.
1--WE venture the assertion, that if he
were elected president instead of vice
president, and there should be left out
some states of the south by virtue OF the
recent legislation Of congress, he would
wipe it all out, take possession of the
White House, and blot out the record Of
infamy made by congress since 1868. =

ssIf Governor Seymour should under
take to smooth off the rough corners Of
General Blair platform, he will only in
iure the cause he desires TO promote, and
lessen the chances Of his own success.

"A WAR OF RACES. Then let us pre-
pare for it We sound the note of warn
ing to,the people, and bid them be on
the alert. Preparations may be be pre-
ventive but, if in spite of preparations
the conflict Is precipltated upon us, 1t
can have but one conclusion. The negro
element in the south is like a gangrene
upon the body polite, and the first drop
of blood shed in a servIle war will be the
SIGNAL for the determination OF the whole
race.
IF such war must come, let 1t come
quickly. The south wants peace, and II
now required to wade through Il
sea of blood to reach it, the sooner com
menced the soonr ended. Our white
allies in Maryland and kentucky, not to
mention states further north, may be re
lied on for assistance, II We need 1t -

''Some old fogy New York politician
recently ..telegraphed to Frank Blair ASK
ing him to moderate the tone of his speec
es. His reply was decisive. He told thel
that he had studied the situation careful
ly thought he understood it, and NEAR
to treat it freely and tearlessly. 1t is sal
that Governor Seymour is very niue
pleased with General Blair speeches.
