neither the great party which makes the nOmina-
tion the great body of patriotic citizens whose
cooperation would insure success, would have

Frank Z. Blair has sent a letter TO Colonel Broad.
head in which he leaves it to him, after cOusulta-
ton with Blair's friends, whether his name shall
be pfsented TO the Democratic convention.
Mr.. Blair says there is but one way TO restore
the government and the Constitution, and that is
fjr the president elect to declare the recOnstrsc
on acls null and void; to compel the army TO
undo its usurpations at the South; disp0rse the
carpet-bsg state governments; allow the waite
people TO reorganize their own governments and
elect senators and representatives..
The House Of representatives will contain ma
j0rity OF Democrats from the North. They will
admit the representatives elected by the white
people Of the t Outh, and with the cooperation OF
this party il will not be difficult to compel the
Senate to submit once more 70 the obligations OF
the Constitution. II will not be able to Withstand
the public judgment distinctly invoked and
already expressed on this fundamental issue and
il is the sure wsy to avoid all future strife, TO put
this issue plainly TO the country.
Irepeat that is the real and only question which
we should allow TO control Us. shall we submi
10 the usurpations by which the government has
been overthrow, or shall we exert ourselves for
lis full and complete restoration!
IL is idle TO TAX Of greenb acks, gold, the public
