THE New York Herald condemns, in un
measured terms, the use and abuse OF pri-
vate letters. It refers to the remorseless-
ness with which private telegraphic cor
respondence is unearthed and published by
congressional committees. II Congress
were constituted of gentlemen like Wise,
Clay, Randolph, Tristan Burgess and Rob
ert G. Winthrop, there would be no such
outrages piacticed upon common decency.
BY what right are Blaine's private tele-
grams, in NO wise referring to railway spec
ulations or Credit Mobiher thefts, hawked
about by Washington letter writersa Is no
sAnctity assigned to private, personal con-
fidencesi Mr.. Blaine is despicable enough
in our eyes. He sacrifices the country's
peace and unity to hell-born hate
and hell-born ambition. Under the pre-
text Of freeing the slave, he would
enslave freemen; and asserting ardent de
sire for peace and union, he devotes his
genius to the reproduction of discord and
disunion. He panders TO the worst rather
than best passions of men, and would
arouse the strong against the weak, the
victors against the vanquished, and, to ex'
asperate the true nobility of the North,
would make mankind believe that the
South would re-enslave freemen because
they are black. We abhor Blaine, his base
ness, his demagogism, his rivalry of Nor.

G1lk. BLACK LAW

Joe Il. RobartS, the leading Republi-
can of southern Illinois. is the proper
person. in connection with Albright 5
Ava paper, To support the Townes and
Albright ticket. Joe wants Logan re.
turned to the United States senate. and
he would not give the Towncs aud Al
bright combination support unless lac
felt satisfied Logan, the author of the
black law, would not lose by it. The
black Law, passed by the legislature
in 1858, provided that any person who
brought IA negro or mulitto to the state
should be fined not less than 500, nor
more than $500. II provided that
any negro or mulatto who should come
to this state and remain ten days, should
be fined $50. and if he did not pay forth
with, he should be sold ut auction to any
person who would pay such fine and
costs.
Robarls gives strong support TO
Towncs and Albright and John \. Lo-
gan. He l. anxious ior the Hon. John 4.
Logan to remain in the United States sen
ate, and he knows where to throw his
support to assist in the accomplishment
of that object. Joe is politician of no
mean order, and will do nothing to in
jure his party, and that is why he is Civ
ing siicii an able and energetic assistance

4 QUESTION.

Ii the first senatorial and representa-
tive convention was illegal or irregular,
so as to render its nomination invalid,
how can it be insisted that the senatorial
convention has any legitimate existence
or authority to call a second convention :
-Atbright's journal.
Ii it had no legitimate right TO call the
second convention. what right or author
ity has the Albright Journal
to hoist the name OF Ham Irwin
among what it terms the regular nomi-
nees of the first convention: John III.
Oberly was nominated by the first con-
vention, by the Cairo Sweepers, and by
the last convention. The convention OF
the 18th ult. was the last and final Demo
cratic convention, and its nominees will
carry majority in the three
counties OF the district in defiance of the
Logan influence. in defiance OF paid or.
gans, and in defiance of the cry of negro
schools. To argue with paid organ Is
to the validity of the last convention
would simply be a waste of time. We
consider it the true convention. and will
stand by the result, be it what i. may.
II the Albright organ consider it an un-
authorized convention, then let il take
down the name OF Ham Irwin, aud BY do.
ing so act with some degree Of consis-
tcncy aud common sense.
