He win Make a Direct Issue with the
President.

WAsHtAoToS, February Those friends
OF Mr.. Blaine with whom he Is known to
be IN consultation, openly declare that he
has fully decided upon making direct war
upon the President, planting himself
tot the ffst issue upon the European
and the Central and South Ameri.
can policies which he was enter
Ing ttpon when he left the Cabinet. On
the other hand, gentlemen prominent in
the administration say that when the
country has the exact facts, as II soon will
have, in reply to resolutions Of inquiry
which have been passed and which are
ready TO be offered, the grounds upon
which Mr.. Blaine seems thus tar to have
based his attacks on the President will ap-
pear to be quite unsubstantlal.
In the first place, as the President never
saw the instructions to Mr.. Trescott in
their final form, he took occasion when he
did see them 10 recall the harshnFss Of Ian.
guage without recalling that portion Of the
Instructions which were la accord with his
own directions, to make the mission Of Mr.
Trescott In all respects pacifcation. M
In the second place the President hlsI
not revoked the call for conference OF tn.
powers Of the Western Hemisphere, as Mr..
Blaine assumes, but upon having instruc.
tions, which he had never seen or author.
lied, called to his attention by tie State
Department, he found that Mr.. Trescott
was 10 visit some Of the Sonth American
powers, and not the Others, to confer upon
the subject Of congress Of all. Deeming
this iDindicions, ior reasons which will
clearly appear in the message transmitted
in the circular noteto the Senate, he 70,
called this part Of Mr.. Trescott's instruc-
tons.
The friends Of tho President are com.
mentfng with some severity upon Mr.,
Blaine's writing letter to the President
aud giving il simultaneously to the press,
assigning as q reason that the President had
directed the dispatch OF Ir. Freiinghuysen,
to which Mr., Blaine takes exceptions, to be
made public. Asa matter Of fact the letter
was called for by Congress, and the Presi.
dent had no part in its publication.
