WASHINGTON, Oct. 81, 1858.


Now Movement Against General Blair.
rhe Biair sensation seems TO be new device or
she ohange-offronters. Not satisfied with their DO
feat and the mischief which their rashness mas
already cost the democratic party. they seem deter
mined to keep spegging away" until they accomplish
Bairs withdrawal from the ticket. THOR latest
move which has leaked out to day Is to get Packer
OF Pennsylvania, on the ticket With Seymour. vice
Blair The keystone Stats must be carried. they
sert and the only way to do 1t is to pack Packer in
the bundle with Seymour. Packer is declared to
be potential In Pennsylvania. He Is very rich, very
popular and very skful. Were he Oh the ticket ais
personal influence they contend, would break down
the 10000 majority claimed by the radicals in that
State In the last election H8 could afford, they say
70 pour out the greenbscks plentiuy as Blair can
speeches. and that greenb2cks after all will decide
the November as it did the october elections. They
press the point still farther. aud argue that the po
lltical battle is not yet hopeless, and that with
change Of the ticket that would take In Pennsylvania
ana Indiana enthusiasm could be aroused
that would result In getting enough electoral
votes for the democratic candidates. Packer. u
VII be remembered, developed no mean strength IN
the New York Convention as al aspirant for the
first place on the ticket. on the other hand Blar's
friends declare that by conining the ticket entirely
TO the East a. would be the case with Seymour and
slider itself badly sighted and all enthusiasm would
die out in that section Blair they say Will
display more strength next month in Ohio. Illinois
and Missouri than the party give him credit for ami
therefore that the contemplated change would be
highly injudcions. It Is said that considerable tele
graphing has been going on between here and New
York and the West to-day about the suI,ecs aud
that this Packer movement Is quite formidable.
