been made in Marion county, Kentucky,
that If Seymour and Blair are elected,
every Republican in that county will be
driven out of the State or killed-the
threats not only embrace that county but
the entire State.

committee to follow up Blair, and stop

more letters Seymour is said to have

speeches.

portrait of Frank p. Blair over the vacant
/ spot and amused the crowd until one of
/ the Worlds dttdches discovered the addi-
ton and removed it.--Sun.
gB- The London Spectator of July 30,
! says: ave never remember to have read
/ American documents which puzzled us so
entirely as the Democratic platform and
the report of the meeting by which that
platform was accepted. They read as if
the Democrats had lost their sense alto
gether had degenerated from great party
into mere faction, too hopeless of success
to care for anything except the programme
which should most fully defy and irritate
their antagonists"
CY- The following will be the epitaph
craven upon the tombstone of the Blail
and Seymour party next November:
Here Lies,
without Hope OF Resurrection,
All that remains OF
AMERICAN DEMOCRACY,
falsely so caed.)
Her appalling crime was to have sacrificed
Million Lives
And Many Thousand Millions of Treasure
In iendisb struggle TO perpetuate
! AMERICAN SLAVERY.
In the presence of this one enormity
1t would be mockery to utter
The name Of any
