Blair says there is but one way to re-
store the Government and the COnstitu-
ton, and that is for the President elect
to declare the reconstruction acts null
al void, compel the army to undo it's
usuipstiOn at the South, displace the
carpet bag Governments, allow the white
people to reorganize their own Govern
ments and elect Senators and Represent
auves-for the House of Representatives

not be difficult to compel the Senate to
submit once more to the obligations of
the Constitution. It will not be
able to Withstand the public judgment
if distinctly enrolled and clearly ex-
pressed on this fundamental Issue, and
it is the sure way TO avoid all future

the real and only question which we
should allow to control US, "Shall we
submit to the usurpations by which the
Government has been OverthrOwn, or
shall we exert ourselves for its full and
complete restoration ?n 1t is idle to
talk Of greenbacks or of gold, the public
faith or tine public credit. What can a
Democratic President do in regard to any
of these with 2 Congress in boIh branches
controlled by the carpet-baggers and
their allies? He will be poWerless to
stop the supplies by which idle negroes
are organized into political clubs, by
which an army is maintained to protect
these vagabnnds in their outTages upon
the ballot. These and things like these
eat up the revenues and resources Of the
Government, and destroy it's credit, and
make the difference between gold and
gTeenbacks. We must restore the Con-
slitutiOn before We can restore the
finances, and to do this we must have a
President who will execute the will of
the people, by tTampling into the dust
the usurpatiOns of Congress, known as
the reconstruction acts, and l wish to
stand before the Convention on this issue,
but il is one which embraces everything
else in its large and comprehensive re-
suits Il is the one thing that
includes all that is worth contest, and
without it there is nothing thSt gives
dignity, honor or value to the struggle
