There were strength. resolution, and au-
dacity i'm tine niti-llAyIs demonstration Of
BIAINE and CuNiplELAiN at Woodstock
yesterday. 1t WAS BLAiNl's part Of this
business to- expose and attack the Mex
lean war policy. with which the Fraud
uleut Administration is now nenac-
ing the peace of the country. II
was CHARACTERISTICS part to strip of the
garb of deceit from the Southern trading
policy of HAYES. and to show up the duplic-
fly and hypocricy which he has introduced
into the administration Of public affairs.
BIAINE himself did mot say much
about the general conduct Of the HAlrs
Ring; but ~ he had read and approved
CHARACTERISTICS speech before its delivery
his position ~ an open aud relentless as-
sailant Of the Fraudulent Administration Is
publicly and definitely fixed.
BLAINE takes THE SUSs Wow Of the dan
ger to the country from HAYrs's order
empowering Gen. ORD To invade Mexico
with military force. He holds that the
scheme has for it, object tine annexation of
large portion Of the territory Of
Mexico, aud that if this scheme be-
thc inevitable DRIFT of events bc
rapidly whirlcd into current that can
neither be stayed nor directed. If the
course of the Government said he, shall

the men aud the interests that stand behind
this movement some ul them masked and

by an undesirable population. adding
weakness where We want strength. discord
where we need peace. and lack of patriotic
inspiration where most of all We require the
devoted spirit of II true American nations
atty" Having fully covered this question,
BLAINE spoke a few words about the de-
STABILITY of the annexation of Canada, briefly
referred, in general way, to southern poll
tics, and left to CHAMBERLAIN the business
of expressing ut length his views on the situa-
tion.
CHAMBERLAIS' handling " the questions
OF the times gave evidence Of the ability and
courage which have never been denied him.
He reviewed the Louisiana ease at such
length that We are compelled TO curtail this
part Of his speech lie wrathfully amt
scornfuly dealt with what hc called
"the most peculiar ami humiliating
feature uf the Louisiana business HAYLo'S
willingness to accept for himself the fruits
OF the election there. though the vote for
HAYES Electors fell short of the vote
for PACKARD by several hundreds. and
yet while cutching those fruits with
ready if not eager hInl. to plan and
carry out PAcKARD's overthrow" HAYES
course in Louisiana had made his heart
grow hot with indignation, and brought
unbidden curses To his lips. Never cN-

fine his invcctiNe Ia this branch Of his
subject. He holds HAYES responsible foI
degrading and dcmorailzing the Republican
party in all ts ranks. He accuses HAYES OF
Bubtcrfugc and faschood, and warns hin
that he cannot Ice dishonest on one sub
jcct and honest on others. He arraign,
HAYES for his civil service fraud, an,
emphatically afiirns that to this hour
offices are conferred, refused, or taken ava!
with as much regard TO political ends 10y The
present Administration as by Presdcn

the Republican party has yet done.
The Woodstock ant-iIAYEs drinon-tra
ton Of yesterday is the most remarkable
Incident which has occurred, thus far, II
the Republican war upon the Fraudulcn
Administration. The speech OF CHAMBER
LAIN, as approved 10y bLAINE, is, however
but the boldest expression yet nude of sen
tmcnts that have already been cvprcsso
by scores OF other Republican leaders. W
