Congress regarding the payment of the three

—| Montgomery Blair's Speech at Cleveland, Ohio
Muy 20, 1863.2
We beg our readers to notice that the
above confesses exactly what we have uiways
charged upon the present Administration. —
For staiing just what Mr. Blair now ac
knowledges, he twice stopped our paper in
the mails, We have never said anything
more severe. never made any charge against
Mr. Lincoln ard his Cabinet any more dams
aging than Mr. Blair here bluntly confesses
to be the truth. Substantially, Mr. Blair,
says: “The South is not fighting for dis-
“union. but for the preservation of their soc-
«isl stitutions, and they desire indepen-
“gence only as means of effecting that ob-
¢ject, Once possessed ofthat, they hope tore-
store the Union on the basis of their Cons-
“titution, which is ours, except that it em-
«bodies in terms the Dred Scott Deci-
sion.” In other words according to Mr.
Biair, the South is defending our own Uons-
tution, as interpeted by our own Supreme
Uourt, while he and his party are fighting to
overthrow the Constitution as thus construed
by the Supreme and recognized Tribunal of
the land, Was there ever such a monstrous
confession made by mortal man in hissenses?
fle discloses in a single sentence the whole
object, aim snd porpose of this war. Ie
acknowledges that the South isin favor of
the Government as it existed down Lo 1861,
and as the Supreme Court has declared its
Intent and meaning. lt thereof follows that
the South is not in revellion, even allowing
that Sates can rebel. On the contrary.
according to Mr. Blair. Mr. Lincoln hinsellis
in rebellion against the Government, as de-
fined by the Supreme Court, and the S.uth
is in arms defending the Governwent
from Mr. Lincoln's attempt to overthrow
it! We defy the wmostsubtile logican to
escape from this construction of Mr. Blair's
remarks.
The reader will, no doubt, wonder why
Mr. Blair should have made this most dam:
aging confession. Itis, indecd. most astonn-
ding, if he saw the full etfect of his remarks.
It must be allowed, however, that Mr. Blair !
despite his hostility to, and even persecution |
of anii-Avolition newspapers, has always
shown a certain degree ot candor in dealing
with the question of so-called slavery, in
striking contrast with many of his party. It
is evident, too, that he understands not only
the theory apon which his own arguments
rest. but he comprebiends the motives of his
opponents, hence he acknowledges that the
South is not fighting for disanon, but for
their State Laws, their State Rights, and the
supremacy of the white race, as defined by
the Supreme Court—in a word, for the Gov-
ernment ag ‘ounded by Washington ana
Madison, and as it has been administered
from their days down to the inaugeration of
Abrabam Lincoln. Doubtless Mr. Blair

Richmond and Washington- A Contrast.
The released prisoners from Richmond
describe the effect produced by the raid
of General Stoneman’s Confederate Cav-
alry to the outskirts of the Rebel capital.
There was a complete panic. Families pack.
ed up their goods, thealara bells were rung.
The panic was vatural. There were only
400 troops in Richmond, and amoung these
were many sick and wounded, fit only for
guard duty.
There is, perhaps, a httle exaggeration in
this statement, and we notice that our ¢o-
temporarieg chuckle over the fright we gave
the rebels, and mock at the poverty of their
resovirces! :
We confess we do not sce the comic side
of the picture! It appears to us as if the
Administration at Richmond had sent every
man to the fickd, to meet the exigency of
i the hour, bad stripped themselves of all de-
| fences. as wellas of all purade, and bad
| canecutrated all their strength for the strug-
| ple they were to enter upon. Nor when the
Federal cavalry came thundering to the gates
of the capital, did President Davis send oft
ordess to divide Lee's command, and save
the capital by sacrificing the army.
We know not what was donc at Wa
nea-ly a year ago, what fears Jacisson, al-
nost a hundred miles off, and conteraplating
a feint only. mspired in the tremulous Coun-
cils of the President! An army was saeri-
ficed and a campaign lost, owing to that
panic.
“We have only 17,000 men to defend us,”
they cried, though in thetrath they had nearer
700,000, and still they were panic struck at
the approach of an enemy, still nearly a hun-
| dred miles off, and whoseactual assauit was
| m truth impossible.
| And how was it in the recent afhir at
| Fredericksburg 2 -Recollect that Richmond
| was menaced on the Sutbolk side as well as
| from the North, and retained but 400 troops.
| At this very time, a large army was
| intrenchied at Washington a heavy force
| was along the Potomac River, and
| Heintzloman was at Manassas Gap,with 30,
| 00 more. There was areserve under But-
| terficid at Falmouth, on the north side of
| the tappstonvock. And even of Uooker's
| forces on the south side, Sceretary Stanton
| announces “not more then one-third were
| engaged.”
| Why all the forces were not concentrated
| and engaged ; whyeven the fraction that were
put forward to meet the massed woops of
Lee, were subdivided is not told. Somebody
should be forced to tell and be held respon-
sible for the answer?
But it is not of the battle we speak, but
of the contrast presented by the two capitals
—Richmond stipping 1teelf for the fight,
and Washington gorged with troops, under
burly Brigadiers, withnoother purpose than
to protect a President, whose lack cf per-
sonal coirage amounts to a disease and
his Cabinet and retinue of courtiers and
contractors
The contrast is not one of our choosing;
but is forced upon us by circumstances.——
1t has its moral. No war can be success(ul
whose leaders look constantly and anxiously
first of all to their own gain, their own am-
bitior, and their own safety. Towinin this
fearful contest, we must throw intothe scales
as much of fortune, labor, life, as our adver-
sary isready todo. When we reach tbat point
we will succeed against him, but not till
then.—-Albany Ailas.

Niggsrs on ths Lincoln Side.
Last week we expressed onrselves perfect-
ly well satisfied with the attempt of the
Government to enlist negroes for soldiers,
but we expressly stated then. and we as dis-
iinetly state now, that we want negroes to
fili the ranks of our armies excluvively. —
White men cannot, and will not, unless
they are lost to all sense of shame. stand on
a professional equality with the thick-lipped
sons of Africa. All the present devasting
“cruel” and useless war is solely for the
benefit of the negro, and of such of is white
worshippers as are cither in possession of
Government contracts, or are crazy. it is but
just that the negroes should do all the fighting
White men have done enough of it. But,un-
fortunately for the Lincolnites, the Abolition
negro —the free fellow—won't fight. This
was shown squarely in the resait of the ef-
forts of the Gavernor of Massachusetts to get
up even one “colored” regiment in his do-
minions, and it has been recently developed
in Connecticut, where the colored citizens
refused to be peacobly enrolled for the draft
and openly declared that “free niggers won't
fight, nobow.” Under thege circumstances,
we imagme that the war must cease, and
that the Union will, per consequence be re-
stored upon its original basis. An cxper-
ience of some months in this war, has taught
us that niggers wil {we've seen them do it)

This alone was the ground of ““irreconciable

We think the time fully come to demand
of Lineoln's Administration whether it pro-
poses to make war on the Northern States.
The arrest and exile of Vallandigham, Ohio's
choice for her next Governor, was an act of
war on the State Sovereignty of Ohio. The
parade of Federal forces at the State Con-
vention of indiana—the vulgar marshalhug
of horse, foot and artillery around the Dem-
ocratic masses, and the unwarranted arrest
of men in that erowd, for expressing politi- :
