Frank Blair to the following clear
statement Of iis points. Let all read
and consider the solemnity of the
issues they involve I:
In that letter to Col. Brodhend,
now in the hands of all the people'
General Blair distinctly proposes. not
indeed to destroy the Union, bnt TO
subvert its Government, by subject
ing Congress, or at least one OF its
branches, to the compulsory authori-
ty of the President. In that letter
General Blair declares il to be the
duty of the President.

coordinate and compulsory, without
destroying the structure. The
amount that Que branch can be com.
