bridged its jurisdiction and silenced
its voice the men who have usurped
and are grasping and welding powers
not possessed to-day by any monarch
among civilized nations.
Against these men and all their de-
spotic purposes, which General Grant
would be as powerless to hinder as he
whom they elected four years ago has
been against these men, their crimes
in the past, their fast accomplishment de-
signs in the future, you are soon to
make one final and determined on
slaught.
Four years ago we failed to expel
them from power, though We predicted
then, as we now predict, their incom-
potency to give to the people peace !;
declaring then, as we now declare, the
revolutionary purposes of their most
active leaders, who rule their party,
as they would rule the country, with a
despotic sway. But these four years
have justified our warning. Our worst
predictions then are their enactments
now. What we feared they have done.
The revolution has made steady pro-
gress. Once more we call every pa
triot to join our ranks.
If the people will now rise in their
majesty and might, they can save their
institutions, and rebuild them. Ifthey
are supine and regardless of their sac
red interests, so much in the last four
wears has been accomplished, and so
much in the next four years may easi-
Iv be accomplished, no obstacle then
remaining, that the Revolution viii
become fixed fact, the structure of our
government will have been completely
remodelled. 1t may be government (;
still, it will no longer be your Represen-
tative Self-government.
For this final struggle then fellow
Democrats of the United States, let us
invigorate every muscle and nerve eV-
erv heart. The time is short. The
foe is stubborn and desperate, for our
victory would be the death blow to the
Republican party. 1t could have been
held together by no other nomination.
1t cannot survive your successful as
sault. One victory is enough. Your
triumph in November will finally re-
establish the Union and the Constitu-
ton for another generation of men !;
it will restore peace and good order to
the South, prosperity to the North,
and wise and frugal rule to both. The
great prize is worthy your most siren
uous endeavor.
Our ranks are unbroken our courage
is undated. Once more to the breach,

GEN. BLAIR All HOME.
Important Speech from him on the pro-
posed Change of Leadership.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, October 16.--Gener-
al Blair was serenaded tonight at his
residence. The Democratic clubs, with
torches, banners and music, were pres
ent, and large crowd filled the streets.
After referring briefly to local mat
ters, Gen. Blair said:
GENERAL BLAIR'S SPEECH.
am the candidate of the Democratic
party for a very distinguished posi-
ton. ] expect to be a candidate so
long as they desire it; so long as l can
avail to help the great cause which we
all have at heart. My fellow-citizens,
it will be no sacrifice to me, or rather
it will be work of pleasure to me, to
surrender that position, whenever by
so doing can add one vote to the
strength of the Democracy in this
State or in any other of the States. l
am ready to make any sacrifice, and so
am ready to go and do anything; to
take upon my shoulders any burden,
or lay down any that may have been
conferred on me heretofore.
And this brings me to allude to that
rumor in our midst to-day.
A voice-That's what we want.
II has been said here that both the
candidates for the Presidency and for
the Vice Presidency have signif1ed
their intention to decline in favor of
some other candidates. All | nave to
say is, that both candidates will always
be ready to lay down their candidacy
when it can no longer be of service to
the Democratic party of the country.
GCheers.1 If it should be thought
now,-if it should be believed that by
so doing we could add to the strength
of the Democratic party, and give it
better chances of victory. A voice
''We want no Chase" other voices,
"No, no." That is for you to say.
[Voices-"W DONE" and cries of
"Hurrah for Blair."l l want you to
review it calmly, and without regard
to the feelings of any man; because
the feelings of individuals are nothing
as compared with the great objects we
have in vieW-of success and the res
toration of our country. / do not in
tend to abandon the field, in one sense
at least. l mean to bear my share OF
the battle; whether in the ranks or as
an officer will depend on the wishes of
the Democratic party.
Gen Blair then thanked the crowd
and babe them good night.
In the opening part of his speech, the
General announced that he was neither
dismayed, terrified, nor discouraged,
at the result of the recent election,
which announcement was received
with cheers.
The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1868-10-30

Finally, apprehending that their
scheme of Reconstruction" which
meant always subjugation of the South
to uphold Radical supremacy in the
North, the agents of which were the
military force, the freedmen's bureau
and the "carpet-baggers," paid for these
services out of the pockets of the peo-
pie, had failed to cajole the majority of
the negroes to its support-a bill was
introduced into Congress, at its last
session, provided for large supply of
arms to the blacks in the Southern
States by which the armed minority
might regulate the franchise of the
white and black majority in the Radi-
cal interest. What dreadful scenes
must have ensued, had this bill pass.
ed through conflict of races, speedily
involving the whole country in civil
war far more tremendous and horrible
than the sectional war in which we
have been engaged-the humane, the
prudent and the patriotic would wish
to Danish from the Imagination.
Such is, in part, the amply sufficient
foundation for the arraignment of the
Radical party. Every specification is
a solid, indisputable fact. OF these
'ihigh crimes and misdemeanors," )"
clearly subversive of the very princi-
pies of civil liberty, it is manifestly
guilty. Upon such a specification no
jury in Christendom would hesitate to
pronounce sentence,

THE RANK AND FILE.

The masses of the Democratic party
in Pennsylvania, the rank and file, the
great body of the party, the three hun
dred and twenty thousand firm and
true men who voted for Boyle and
Ent, are still in line. Nowhere can a
straggler be seen. None have gone
over to the enemy. All are true. Ev-
cry man of them is more determined
to stand by the grand old party of their
choice than ever they were before.
They feel proud of what they have ac-
complished. They know that the
nleagre majority which the Radicals
have secured was not honestly won.
They feel assure ed that they can carry
the good old Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania in any fair contest. And they
are ready to renew the struggle on the
third DAY of November. The devotion
of the masses to the Democratic party
is no weak attachment. They adhere
to it with tenacity, because they recog-
nize in it the defender of their rights
and the protector of their interests.
Their love for it is a sentiment as
strong as the faith of the devotee in
his religious be!ief.-They recognized
it as the party of the people; the de-
fender of the masses against the en-
croachments of unconstitutional and
arbitrary power; the protection of the
laborer against grasping and oppres-
sive monopoIies; the champion of poor
against privileged classes. The Demo-
cratic party has always been ready to
do vigorous battle for every right of
each individual citizen, no matter who
the assaiIant might be, or what his
strength. 1t has thus endeared itself
to the people, and they will not cease
their exertions until it is enthroned in
power, and enabled to give to the mass
es all the rights and blessings which
they enjoyed in the happy and peace
full past.-Lancaster Iatettge'acer.
