BLAIR on TIE lSITUATION

The Blair family is quite extensive and
not much troubled with modesty. When
a President is to be elected they are al
ways ready to advise, and would think it
no harm to take place upon the ticket.
We have recently heard from Frank Blair
in relation TO the political situation, and
now we have q few words-only two col
umns in Washington newspaper-upon
the same subject from Montgomery Blair.
If they commence in this way at so early
period in the agitation of the Presidential
matter, what a deluge may we not expect
before the campaign is over
1t is not unknown to our readers that
the Blair family is opposed TO the re-elec-
ton of President Grant. Not being abso-
lutely certain that "A knowledge of this fact
spread abroad would quite finish him as a
candidate. this article of Montgomery's
proposes ways and means to end him
quite, and this is the method in which he
thinks it must be done
Sectional clamor must be killed now. Let
the democratic party. as an organization,
stand back, and let the field be kept clear to
the disaGected and independent republicans.
The Missouri programme suits me. There
the radicals were defeated through this
kind of cooperation. Let the radicals call
their convention and nominate Grant, and
then let the independent republicans belt and
nominate whoever they please. and then let
the democrats rally to bis support. This is
the way Lincoln got in in 1860, and in this
way Grant easily be defeated. ! have
reason TO know that this plan has been under
consideration now for about year, and it
meets with bur little opposition, met Sen
ator Casserly yesterday, and he tells me he
warmly approves tbs policy Senator Stock

met Bob Ould to-day and talked il 10 him.
and has eyes glistened at the prospect that the
South could be relieved from military tyran-
ny. You know Wade Hampton long ago adj
yocated tins as the true policy for tie South.
Ii isuniversaiiy aekno~ lodged that the oppo-
siuon TO Grant agrees. as 10 general prinei-
pies, upon the question Of the proper candi
date TO lead the opposition 10 President
Grant.
In the last Presidential election the
Blairs set their sails strongly to the south
ern breeze, as witness the Broadhead let
ter; in this campaign they are bound to
tack ship and steer in the opposite direc-
ton. That ruse Is played OUT now il
Missouri, where the republican party il
