BLAIR.-Francis p, Blair addressed

BLAIR.-Francis 2, Blair addressed
a meager crowd from the Court
House steps last evening, his only
points worthy of note being his ex-
PLANTATION of the English language.
He said when he declared that 1--WE
must have President who will
trample in the dust the acts of Con
gress," she did not mean by it that
it would require force.
He further explained that when he
declared that Generel Grant would
never leave the White House alive, !"
he only meant that be would, if clect-
ed. be permanent President.
s1g-'rhe following paragraph is
from the Albany Argus, the central
organ OF the Now York democracy !;
"Governor Seymour cannot cut loose
from Sen. Blair. He cannot arbitrar-
lily reinquish candidacy he did not
seek, and which was forced upon him
as a duty. And who would take the
vacated post? Who would covet the
dubious honor?
The game of corruption and
fraud cannot twice be played. The
money raised to stimulate then, and
to bribe voters has been spent"

so refer these machines to the people
would seem to imply more than

the people to vote them down.

EQUAL TAxArIoN.-The democrat.
