which he fully exposes the shifting
trickery of Blair and we herewith give
portion of 4 letter from p H. Sibley,
one of the Democratic State Central

that Mr.. Sibley will vote for Grant and
Colfax:

counseis and possess myself ofyour plans

approves the platform of principles put
forth by the New York city Convention,

of the United States. In remembering

ment of mere party fealty. believe
that the war was inaugurated in the
South in the interest of slavery. / be-
lieve it was the duty of the Govern
ment to resist the heresy of secession by

the draft of soldiers, the prosecution of
Waragainst rebellion, was constitutional
and necessary for the preservation of the

johnson Present Position

Correspondents at Washington write,
under date of Monday:
A feeling is exhibiting itself in Re
publican circles of partial confidence in
the Administration, which leads to the
belief that Congress will not be required
to assemble in September. The daily
outdropping of antagonism to Sey mour
and Blair from the immediate adherents
of the President, and the fact that
majority of the Cabinet are well known
to be opposed to the Democratic plat
form, is accepted as an indication that
neutral policy will be adopted, not en-
tirely satisfactory to the Republicans,
but by no means in support of the De-
mocracy. In fact, unless the reorgan-
lied States of the South call on the Pres
ident for arms, or otherwise involve
him in controversy about reconstruc-
ton, there can be no more possibility of
his doing anything that will require the
presence of Congress before the next reg
ular session. He has virtually promised
not to attempt a withdrawal OF or fur

Political A6oirs in Louisidno.

The Triduno's Washington letter of
the 4th inst, says that several persons
who arrived from New Orleans on that
day represent political affairs in Louis-
isiana to be in very deplorable condi-
ton. The power of the Union men in
the State is only superficial, while the
real power is in the hands of the eX-rcb-
els. Since Sheridan and Mower were re-
lieved from command the military there
has been used solely to aid the ex-Reb-
els and defeat the laws of Congress. AT
ter the nomination of Seymour and
Blair was made the Democratic party
began thorough organization, and they
now boast that they will carry the State
for Seymour if they have to kill every
"niggerr on its soil in doing so. The
Seymour Knights and Blair Guard,
having been organized, and drill as regu-
larly as if they were military. They are
disposed in regiments and companies
taking their names and numbers from
the various regiments and companies
which they furnished to the Rebel army
in war times. Having seen service in
the Rebel army is the chief qualifica-
ton to become an officer of the organi-
cation. Gen. Harry Hays, who figured
as the Sheriff of New Orleans at the
massacre of Union men in July, 1867, is

airy body. AT the grand mass meeting
vi l, inn
they paraded the stress fully armed
with revolvers and bowie-knives. With
these men fully organized and discip-
lined and Gen. Rousseau in command
of the United States military forces, the
Unionists of Louisiana expect to have
hard work to win next November. L
the Union men had any arms so thai
they could cope with their opponents
they would apprehend no difficulty.

PERSONALITIES The New York SIN
thus concludes an article upon the per-
sonalities which enter into a political
campaign, the article having particular
reference to the charge of drunkenness
against Mr.. Blair, which the SIN de-
being now strictly temperate
"But let us give our correspondent a
little friendly counsel. In the canvass
which precedes an election, a skilful
politician will confine himself to pOliti-
cal matters, and leave personalities out
Of view. In 1862 some of the Wings
thought they could advance their cause
by assailing Franklin Pierce asa drunk
ard, but he was elected nOtwithstand-
ing, In 1868 some of the duller Demo-
cratic journals, following the lead of
Wendell Philips and Theodore Til
ton, have attacked Ulysses S.
Grant on the same ground
and we will say in passing that it is a
false ground-and everybody can see
that he will be elected i'm spite of them.
In fact, we don't know but that by their
ridiculous cutlery they have contributed
to secure his election. Let our cores
| pOndent take the moral of all this to
heart, and leave alone the inquiry
whether Gen. Grant ever drank horn
of whiskey or not Pitch into him about
his politics as much asyou like, but omit
, the rest. The reason is simple. When
you accuse a candidate of taking too
much to drink, or of stealing, or of cheat
ing his grandmother, or anything OF
that sort, the mass of people regard it all
as so much political Islander, and act ac-
cordingly.
