Secretary Blalne's Letter 70 IowelI.

WASHINGTON, December l5.-A letter of
of instructions from Secretary Blaine to
Minister Lowell in reference to the modifi-
cation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
was sent so the Senate to-day in
answer TO a resolution of in
quiry. IL is volummous document
Pursuant to suggestion in letter
OF June 9th, regarding the Panama canal
Mr Blaine says it becomes his duty to call
attention to the Clayton Bulwer treaty
lie quotes the provision of this treaty as to
an inter-oceanic communication, whether
by. canal or railroad, and says
TINS convention was made more
than thirty years ago under exceptional
circumstances, which have long since ceased
to exist and can never be reproduced. The
remarkable development of the United
States on the Pacific coast since then has
created more new duties for the govern
ment and developed new responsibilities
upon it, a full and complete modification of
which requires some essential
notifications of said treaty. The
interest Of the British government
involved this question. So far as India
through the Mediterranean and British in
terests in India are not of more Importance
to her than ours on the Pacific coast, be-
sud. india is but distant colony of Brit
ain, while our Pacific coast is an integral
portion of this nation.

1856. IL slea of the clean sweep made by
the party opposed to the Democracy, the
latter carried both districts in Hamilton

digham of Montgomery, CoCkerill of Ad-

Cox Of Franklin; Barns of Coshocton;

twenty-one membera.
Such sudden changes from large ma.
jorities on one side to sweeping msjori.
ties on the other, was never before wit
messed in Ohio, and perhaps never will
be again. 1t obllterated the old Whig
party that had for years contested the
state more frequently with success
against the Democracy. and in the Union
put the DsmoCraCy to all they knew to
prevent it from electing the great leader
Henry Clay, President. When it went
down, Mr.. Clay, remembering his pledge
that when the Whig party became a
mere Abolition party, l am q Whig no
longer, died with his hopes for the coun.
try based on the Democratic party. Mr..
Webster, had he lived to vote In 1862,
would have voted for the Democratic
caneidate for President, because of the
same tendency of the Wing leaders to
Aell out and wander after strange gods.
The tendency Of the times for the past
few years has been steering toward
new sell out and new party name and
party principles to retain power. Such
a change can never produce a revolution
such as that of 1854. f.

THE SILT IN VIRGINIA.

When the Republican party recln.
struCted the Southern States on the basis
of negro suffrage, it took counsel both
with it, fears and it's hopes. Both the
fears and the hopes have proved foolish
in the extreme. 1t Was feared that Pres
ident Johnson's policy would carry off 80
many voters in the Northern States that
the party could no longer depend on the
msjorities which had kept it in power.
1t was hoped that the States in which the
Cololed people were in the majority
would become permanently and solidly
Republican. If the authors of these
measures could have fores en- the sitlao
ton as it is today, they would have hesi-
tated in the execution of their selfish
and short. sighted policy. The States
whose detection they feared have proved
heartily loyal to the party. The States
whose adherence they Courted are array.
ed solidly against it.
