violation of the Constitution, as con-

country as conquered provinces, if he
should ever be able to make that one
stepping-stone, and arm himself with
the Presidential power. That is my
judgment of his character and his
design.
The Democrat, in commenting upon
the mutilated report of the Demo-
cratic paper, the Republican, says:
NEVER ALIvE."-With its usual
i~mpudence, having Johnsonized its
own report of Blair's speech, the Re
publican accuses US of misrepresent-
ing him. We remember very we'll
how hat paper has altered other
reports and suppressed or mutilated
dispatches to suit its purpose, and in
this case we have ample proof that
its pretended report Of Blair's speech
is mutilated by the suppression of the
most important phrase-the declara-
ton that General Grant, if elected,
" will never leave the Presidential
mansion alivef" In the first place,
the ver6dtina report given by us was
taken by Mr.. Walbridge, whose fdel-
ity and accuracy as reporter are per-
fectly known, and who is acknowl.
edged to be the best reporter at the
West, and one of the best in the
United States. His notes would suf-
fee to convince any Intelligent and
candid man that the words printed
by US were actually used by Gen.
eral Blair. But it happens that IL
this case he does not stand alone
The Times printed precisely the same
language, and several Democrats who
were present also heard the remark,
and spoke of it to US, after the speech
saying that it was a most foolish ano

described with great minuteness the
manner of the General, and spoke Of

face of this mass of proof, we unhesi.
tatingly pronounce the report of the
Republican a false one, and its charge
of misrepresentation a most impuden

recent st. Louis speech that General

quotes from the St. Louis Republican
to prove its assertion. But it hap
pens that the proof is at hand
plainly to convict the drunken and
incendiary revolutionist of this public
threat of assassination.
The report of the speech was tele-
graphed the very night of its delivery,
all over the country, and all the ac-
counts agree in the language attribu-
ted to him. In addition to this, the
verbatim report of his speech as pub

words with the report which appeared

Governor Seymour's conception of
the Presidential canvass was, from the
beginning, Just and sagaetous. His
discerning judgment was never misled
by fanciful analogies between politi-
cal canvass and military campaign.
Success in an election Is purely thing
of numbers. ThelarRest political army
being always sure of victory, the fate of
a battle is determined at the recruiting
stations. Governor Seymour accord
ingly saw the supreme importance of
so shaping the canvass as to make
proseIytes. So far asathe canvass has
been putupon a different footing, 1t
was done by influences by which Gov
ernor Seymour's deliberate judgment
was OVERCOME.
The result of the recent elections hay
ing yindicated his sagaclty, he owes it
to himself and the party to assume that
position of authority which belongs to
his abilities, and which the masses of
the party crave that he should take.
A statesman upon whom a nomination
is thrust, violates no obligation ofhonor
in retaining his Individuality, and CIV
ing free uIterance to his independent
Judgment, especially when the safety
of the party demands such a service.
Having witnessed the results ofinferior
leadership, It Is his duty to bring back
the canvass to the moderate and prose-
original wish to place IL. After these
defeats, the mRsses of the Democracy
need words OF encouragement from
their trusted leader. The Democratic
masses are never so wronged as by
those who underrate their intelligence.
They see through and scorn the leRerde-
main by which facts are sofIened and
colored but they will listen with pro-
found respect to the sober counsels of a
sincere statesman, who knows no art
but robust Integrity, and has too much
respect for popular good sense to fear
that anything would be- lost By faith
full exposure Of the situation. Nothing
is SO persuasive or so steadying as truth,
spoken with honest courage. The
Democratic masses yeaFn for the truth
from the Inns OF the statesman who,
besides being their accepted candidate,
has the clearest head, the best Rifts OF
utterance, the largest power to com
mand attention, the greatest moral
weight, of any man In the party. They
do not desire hun to prophesy smooth
deceits, but to tell them, in all honest
piainness, why they have failed, and
how they can yet succeed. A party
cannot suhsist upon yRportng and
make. believe. Unless we can change
the aspect OF the canvass, we shall have
repetition in November of q result
likeIhat which has overtaken MS in the
preliminary contest, If anybody tells
the people that things look we'll rs

From the Nel0 York Times.


What are the Southern Democrats
thinking about2 Have they all gone
mad3 Or do they give up the political
contest and resolve TO start at once on
the new crusade OF murder and assas.
sinatiOntbey have been SO long pre-
dieting? Political murders seem to be
the order of the day, not in any one
State or any one section, but through
out the entire South. A negro member
OF the South Carolina Senate, standing
on the platform of a railroad car, Is APP
preached by three white men on horse.
back and deliberately shot. His only
offence Was.that he had been making a
Deputy Sheriff, while serving subp@-
mas, is seized, tied to a negro and both
are shot. In North Carolina half u
dozen negroes are seized at night in
their BEDS mutilated, whipped and
otherwise maltreated, because of their
color and political sentiments, by 2
rowing gang of the 'trulling race.n
And these are but specimens Of the
brutal tyranny exercised in the South
upon all whites and blocks, who hold
and utter Republican opinions.
Do Southern Democrats dream that
these things aid their cause? Do they
not know and see that it Is precisely
Things of this sort that are making 1t
utterly Impossible for decent men any
where TO support themR Do they not
see that acts of this kind, showing their
utter contempt for Justice and human
rights, and their purpose TO restore, in
their worst forms, all the most hideous
features OF slavery, are bnrying their
hopes of political restoration and in
huence beyond all chance of resurrec
toni
Do they fancy that the people of the
nation will tolerate such acts of out
rage Do they expect to keep them up

from their delusion. Mr.. Adams, whom
they invited South to give them coun-
sci, has told them that one of the things
which the war has secured, and i1hIch
the people IDiu sieUer TeLinQuiSh, is the
equal right of every citizen OF the
United States to travel, speak and
live in any State, SO long as he
does not infringe the rights of others"
They may rely upon It, the people will
vindicRte this rlRht-peaceably II they
can, forcibly If they must. The whites
in the South are not wise.ifthey hope
or strive to prevent 1t. They can in
volve themselves in much misery and
the country in good deal OF trouble
but they cannot possibly defeat that
purpose. They can make their own
States the scene of confusion, of strife,
OF assassinRttons, and of slaughter
they may push the matter SO far as to
renew the war and bring It much
closer home to themselves than the war
of the rebellion. Buff they 90, they
will bring down upon their own heads
a degree of desolation and ruin to which
what they suffered In the late war viii
seem but the sport of a summer day.
