Gen. Blair's Letter Of Acceptance.


From the National Intelligencer.l
We take much pleasure in laying before
our readers the letter of General Frank
Blair accepting the nomination for Vice
President by the National Democratic
Convention assembled at New York. II
is document which ought to find its way
to every hamlet and voter in the land
and more particularly to the labor classes
whose liberties are sought to be wrested
from them, in order to lay the founda-
tons of cruel and corrupt despotism.
The letter, like all the productions Of
the writer, is full of masculine thought
clad in the language of truth and free
dom; but more, perhaps, than any public
man who has yet spoken on these mo-
mentous issues. General Blair has cor
rectly conceived and stated the true con-
dition of the country and the questions
at issue. We see before US the successive
steps by which these assassins of free
government have stabbed at our instiiu
tions, until now, no longer blushiug for
the infamous revolution they have accom-.
plished, they boldly demand that their sue
cessful crime shall henceforth be taken
and accepted as the substitute for the
Federal Constitution, and the basis for
fresh usurpation at pleasure. The right
of the people to rescue the Constitution
and to reverse by the hallot-box these
acts ofatsooity, violence and revolution
they impadently challenge and deny,
insisting that from the decisions of the
Rump Congress not even the people
may appeal; that whatever of wrong
they may do cannot be undone.
The trenchant letter of General Blair
unmasks these culprts, and puts them on
their trial before the country whose
peace they have violated, and whose lib
critics they have usurped. 1t will do for
them no longer to affect the airs of limo.
cence and to pirate of revolution" they
who know no moral, no legal constitution.
al restraints, whatever; they who have sub.
verted the government, made revolution,
wrought out anarchy, and, confding in the
sword of brutal despot, have deliber.
ately corrupted the ballo.-box, fabricated
governments, voters and returns, and
used the money of the people, and the
army intended for the national de-
tense, to perpetuate their illgotten
power. If these men stand not by
violence and revelation, then they
stand 10: at all; they fall before
the power of the Constitution and the
ballot, and with them topples to the ground
their whole gigantic fabric of usurpation.
Never have the acts, the sophistries, the
arts, and the designs Of these bad leaders
been better exposed than by the resist
less logic of Gen. Blair. They may in
deed attempt feeble reply to his posi-.
tons, but it will be as fruitless as for vi
pers to gnaw file.
There is something in the power Of
truth which falsehood in vain tries to
cope with the people are able to reason,
to think, and to feel in those matters,
which concern them so deeply, and the
hour Of their awakening is the hour Of
doom to the congressional usurpers.

ARemarkab,e Contrast.

Horatio Seymour is man of so noble
type, ofintelect so great, and Of record
so spotless, that his antagonists are
driven to attack him with ISLANDERS, which
are refuted as fast as uttered, and fall
entirely harmless at his feet Between
him and Grant the contrast is indeed
remarkable. As to the former, the truth
is his sufficient vindication. But for the
latter, the truth is all that is wanted for
his condemnation. The Chicago Times
thus shows the truth up as to GrantI
The Democratic party, in order to
prove Grant an unfit man for President,
has only to refer to charges made against
him by the Jaoobin press and politicians
of that party. If they have belied him,
on them must rest the responsibility Of
the injury to his reputation,
The lives which have been written oil
Grant have failed to give the true reason
why he resigned his commission in the
army as Captain, about 1854, and went
| on a small farm Of woodland in Missouri,
where be supported himseif-with the as

p.m0poIi. Negr0.s On ths stump,

At Demopolis, Alabama, six or seven
freedmen made speeches on Saturday,
which show they are beginning to see
their true interests and that the carpet
baggers are not worth much TO them as
friends. We extract the account which
the Nsp Era gives Of the speech Of
uncle Sandy Cameron, who gave the Gn-
ishlng touch, as follows:
he told them that he was born in the
South-that be vas Southern man, and
that the Southern men were his friends

Yankee peddlers in secret politics. The

The Spirit Of Northern Presbyterianism
Toward its Southern Brethren.

The question Of the reunion of the
Presbyterians of the South with the Old
School Assembly of the North is agitated
with good deal of bitterness, especially
on the part of the Northern clergy and
editors, with so much bitterness, indeed,
as to show that any real union is utterly
impossible. The Presbyterian Witness,
published in Richmond, thus states the
cause Of the separation:
THE Presbyterians of the South loved,
and do still love, the undivided church
of their fathera. Their separation in
1861 was compulsory. The Assembly
which met in Philadelphia adopted a
resolution requiring them. to become
traitors, if they remained in its connec
ton. In the war between the United
States and the Confederate Government
it demanded that they should array
themselves against the diyinely consti-
tuted authorities which alone could or
would give them protection. No alter
native was left them as patriots and
Christians but to form the separate
organization with which they are now
connected"
And the Western Presbyterioa says
1--WE do not expect the church will give
up any Of its well settled convictions, or
modify any Of its strong deliverances on
slavery and the war, in order to facilitate
the return Of the Southern churches"
Now, what the strong deliverances Of
the Northern Presbyterians are will be
seen in the following, where the course
Of the Southern Presbyterians is ckaFae-
terized as treason, rebellion, anarchy.
fraud and violence" "frightful con-
spiracy," "wiekedness," guilt before
God and man." These are few Of the
ten thousand "strong utterances Of the
Northern Presbyterians against their
Southern brethren; and the Southern
Presbyterians are plainly told that these
"strong deliverances will not be mod
fled 10 facilitate the return Of the South
ern churches" On this subject the
PresbyferiaH Witness says with bscom-
;Be dignity aud spirit:
"But IL they think the epiihets, con-
cocied in their political psroxysns Of
rage, while engaged in a fearful war, are
applicable 10 us-if they believe that

Amending the Naturalization Laws

Greeley is out again on his Know
Nothing war horse. Besides taking
measures to strengthen the scallawag
governments at the South, and to put in
power such as the people have not elected
in order, as he pretends, to provide
"ample security against a renewal of
violence at the South" and to enable
Grant to WELD the sword with more GER
tain effect, all which he insists is of"vast
and instant importance" he urges also,
as of equally pressing necessity as to
time, that the naturalization laws should
be further amended and made more
stringent He says:
In regard to the enormous frauds which
have become part and parcel of our nat

istered in this city by partisan courts,
and with perfect looseness, threaten to

pie, all good citizens will rejoice at such

Now, we ask the black men of Tennes-

they ever been forced by any body but
the carpet-baggers to vote any other way
