FRANK P. BLAIR a Missouri recently wrote ,
a letter in favor of resisting the reconstruc
tion acts of Congress by force of arms. This
letter procured hini the Democratic nomina
tion for Vico President on last, Thursday in
New York. It gave the
- Southerners a very
'flattering opinion of him. When the time
came in that convention to nominate a can
didate for Vico President ex-Confederate Gen
eral Preston -of Kentucky, lumped to his feet
and proposed the name of F rank. P. Blair for
that office. This.was seconded by ex-Confed

and Forest of Tennessee. The trio all made

gave a cordial invitation to the ex-rebel sol•

was siinply a tender of the other convention
presided, over by Seymour, and the most
namable feature connected with it was the
. fact thit nearly every member composing

had proved himself a )military failure before
, leaving the service. The N. Y. Triluns
speaking of it says: "The sessions of the

ers of the Beata Wisely, therefore., her poll
listens refrained from bringing : forward any
candidate of their own until PenTeton, Hen
dricks, Hancock,' &c., were successively
slaughtered. When this was accomplished
and the material to select from was entirely
used up, the name of Seymour—"the bloated
bond-holder's candidate," was brought for
ward, and on the twenty-second ballot he was
nominated without twinge single vOte cast
against him. Frank P. Blair of Misiiouri was
immedlatelyitterwards nominated for. Vice
President. This is as weak a ticket as our
opponents could have notninated.: • Seymour
was the head and front of copperheadism du
ring the war: When the anti-than ~ r iots oc
curred in New*York in 1863—when'innocent
men, women and childreri were butchered in
cold blood or burned to death in public build
ings by the enemies of the Government, ho
was in the executive chair of that State. In
stead of using force to preserve thC pciiie and
protect life, he went among the rioters, cal
led them "my friends" and assured them that
his influence would be exeited toward having
the droll stopped. It was so exerted, and not
a man could the Government get into the
Union army from that city in consequence
of his treasonable advice, until it detached
and sent frOm the army of the Potomac 30,000
veterans, whose duty it was to see that Gov
ernor and people resoteted the laws and com
plied with the legal demands of the general
government. In addition to this a conver
sation between Seymour and a friend can be
proven in which he urged the destroying of the
Federal and the adoption of the Confederate
constitution for the government of the whole
country. Until recently Frank P. Blair's
character for loyalty was good. A. couple of
weeks ago, however, he caused a letter' to be
published in which he distinctly avows him
self in favor of inaugurating a new civil war
by the use of ibe army in overthrowing the
reconstruction acts of Congress. Such in
brief is the history of the Democratic candi
dates for President and Vice President of the
United States. These nominations are both
very acceptable to Republicans everywhere.
They believe if they cannot beat 'this ticket
they could not beat any one that our 'opPo
neat* mightlave! presented. On the other
hand the Democrats are not only disgusted
with the action of the New York politicians
during the sessions of the convention but the
ticket given them falls likes wet blanket upon
their, However much they may whis

them concede an easy victory to Grant and
Colfax, and we are .smddent that In this they
will not be mistake?. '
We heartily congratulate the Democracy
on receiving the Blair family into its ranks.
They—father and sons included—left the
Democratic party in 1854 and allied them
selves with the Republicans. We found them
to be little else than pests while in our organ
ization. They wanted ill the prominent
places iu the Government for themselves and
friends, and failing to monopolize everything
in that line their grumblings were heard from
one end of the Union to the other. Montgom
eryßlair was in the cabinet of Mr. Lincoln
for some time, and it was only after that good
man's patience, bad !become
_completely ex
hausted, because of the intrigues, of the Blair
family, that he officially notified Montgomery
that, if tendered, his resignation 'as Post Mas
ter General would be • accepted. In conse
quence of this notification he _ resigned, and
from that time forward. the Blair's did all. in
their * powor to injure the Republican party.
Frank P. Blair, one of the sons, was a ranting
abolitionist before the war and was twice
elected to Congress on an abolition platform,
from the St. ~outs district. While in,Con•
gress ho worked harder for the freedom of the
negro, and said harsher things of his master
than any other member of that body. From
some cause or other,—not remembered now;
the Republicans of that district elected some
one else in his place to represent them in Con•
gross. For that act he never forgave the
party ; hence when his father was snubbed at
Washington and his brother Montgomery
virtually kicked out of Mr. Lincoln's cabinet,
Frank P. joined with them, and the trio be
came active Democrats, and were soon lead•
lng spirits in that party.,
"Roaring, ranting, abolitionist" Frank, was
on last Thursday nominated by the National
Democratic Convention as the candidate of
that party for Vice President of the Hatted
States. He received this place on the ticket
by acclamation. He stands no earthly chance
of being elected to thit, position, but we are
gratified lxiyoll measure that our party is now
entirely clear of the Blair family, and that the
Democracy are in the future to be afflicted
with its petty intrigues and malign hifluence.

cd "The Deinociatic Platform on Bonds and
Greenbaelm=A Democratic Interpretation."
It is copied from the New York World, Sey
mour's organ. The Democratic platform was,
drawn up in thE; World office, by Henry C.
Murphy of New York, who is, and has been
for years past, the firm friend of ex-00v. Sey
mour. Murphy, the World and Seymour are
better judges of what the Democratic plat.
fords means than the "greeds." whom they
scCremOrielY slaughtered at New York last

Sums Seymour has been nominated it is
alleged by the Pittsburiteßepubtie that the
country owes more to him and his militia,
than to all other causes combined, for the
check . Lee and his'army received atkekttys

There is another perkier the 'platform
which has it pertinent beating on thilitibject.
It is theft :11'06n in it of "one currency
for the. Government and the Delft, for, the
bondholder, and the, producer.. • Now, Al
though nothing Is ,expr*ly said. upon that
point, we suppose the platform eintemplates
the psymelit - of the duties'im imports in coin
as heretofore,- This seems tons a Justifiable
nay an inevite,ble inference trom what is said
about paying In coin such obligations of the
Government as 'stipulate for cosh upon their
bee. The interest upon both the' ten-forty
and the five-twenty bonds is payable in. coin
by the very terms of the law, and also the
principal of the ten-forties. If, the Govern
ment keeps this express engagement, it must
by_ some means raise the coin, and no other
method is suggested than by collecting it. as
now, at the custom-houses. Now, as the plat
'form pledges the party- to pay specie to the
bondholders to meet their interest • and that
part of their principal which Ihe law requires
to be paid in cork it wenn evident that the
"ono currency for the Government and the
people, the bondholder and the producer."
must contemplate an early return to specie
payments. 'The "one currency" must mean
either a uniform good currency or &uniform
bad currency. . It is. Inconceivable In 'itself
and inconsistent with the. platform, that the
old, hard money Demperatk ' party should
promise a uniform currency of bad money.—
the one currency means a sound convenor ; a
currency equivalent to coin and at 1 all limes
exchangeable for It Dacteurrency of &pre
elated greenbacks would be - hiconsistent with
the payment in coin of that part of the
public obligations which are acknowledged
by the platform to be due in coin ; inconsist
ent with the collection of 'revenue from im
rte in gold; inconsistent with the idea - that
we are ever to•rettun tOspecie payment
Another decluation, in still another section
of the platfornseeshmee an Intention to make
an.early idairti-ssa,specht payments. After
.calling fors reduction of the priblic expenses
and* reform of the system of taxation, the
platform proceeds these , "tio that the burden
of.taxation may , be equalized and lessened,
the credit of the• Government and the curren
cy made good." The Credit of the' Govern
ment is not "good" so lc, as its promises sell

Gen. _Gram eistitri - -.---... -um-is,:
1862, expelling:4ms, as 'a ciao, from his de
partment, is before me.• You are doubtless
aware that Gen. Grant has never, either by
himself or through the aid of his friends, at
pled . , to defend any military order which
emereencies erthe service seemed at that
time to require. However, •as my name is
attached to itas Assistant Adjutsmt.General.
it may not be improper to state that at and
previous*to its date, oar military affairs were
in a most critical condition, and untxortant
movements were transpiring. Gen. Sherman :
was 'collecting format Memphisimd Helena.
Gen. Grant was mating steadily against Pem
berton. Grenada, keeping op appearance of
immediate attack, to divert his attention from
Sharman, omit in cooperation with Grant,
&Agawam moving south from Corinth. The
of Grant'splans depended in keep
=
enemy, in ignorance of his real fur
mannamely the surprise and capthre of
ng by Sherman, and it was. therefore
ef the utmost importance that.every avenue
at information to the enemy should be clos
ed.
The most stringent orders had previritisly
been published, forldding persons going or
comingth rough our lines, limiting traders to
Certain boundaries, and prohibiting the pas
sage of corn South, or the payment of it, for
Southern products. Persistent violations of
these orders py persona principally of the
Jewish race, were the subject of constant ra
tions by many of Gen. Grant's subordinates,
some of whom had oven issued, orders expel
ling them from the, line, :but which Gen.
Grant had piemptly revoked. Reports of
the same character were also received from
other than military sources. At length, on
the evrning of Dec. UM, (the date of the or.
der), the mall brought' from Washington a
large number of complaints, officially refer
red to him by the General-in-Chief of the ar
my, against this class of persons, for viola
tion pi the above "mentioned ordert. The
General felti`on reading them, that some lm
mediate action was demanded of him. He
realized to its full extent the critical condi ,
thin of military affairs, and judged, whether
Wisely or unwisely, that to meet the exigen
cy action must be immediate, thorough, and
in a form not to be eroded. The , orderyou
refer to was the result. It was written' and
'telegraphed to his subordinates without revi
sion, leaving all persons not justly menable
Oita terms to be relieved on their individual
application.
The idea that it was issued on account of
the religion of the JeWs cannot - be seriously
entertained by any ohs who knows the Gen
eirsi's-steadfast adherence-ki the principles of
American liberty :end . .religions, tideratlon.
Very,respectifally, your obedient 'servant.

In demanding that Government bonds
shall' be taxed equally with every other .spe
cies of property, the Dejtioemtic Convention
asks , either that the United States shall tax
property which is laying a direct tax—which
Congress by Section ti of Article L of . the
Constittition of theilinited States,is forbidden
to door else that the States shalt tax the
Governmeut • bonds, which - the Supreme
Court of the United Slates has at least three
times decided to be unemstitutional. As the
clianipidns of. The Constitution and of the
finaranthoi ity of the Supreme Court.the Dem
vicratic party seems on this question to be un

The fundamental ideas Of this rebel combi

the success of our arms, but that everything
has been lost. To forget the sanctified dead.
to Ignore and outrage the gallant living, and
to' remember and reward those only whose
crime, in Other nations would have been pun

American citizen does nut burn to resent it ?
' Instead of cordially submitting to the lasi a

purpose of reorganizing the South upon the
basis of equal justice and equal rights, our
recent adversaries openly threaten a new re

Whil'Made the

The Convention Committee appointed to
draft'a platforni and 'resolutions, embrace the
following: Wade. Hampton, ox-rebel General
of South Carolina, who was an original seces
sionist, raised one of the first Palmetto regi
ments, devoted his large fortune 16 the"saered
cause." fired the Southern heart on numer
ous occasions by publicly declaring that the
Yankees were simply endeavoring to "make
shaves of the chivalry, and who after fighting
through the war, refused to submit, after Joe •
Johnson, his superior,. had surrendered, but
ran away , with a troop of horse to Smith
Carolina; William Preston, rebel General of
Kentucky, who had - not so much of anexeuse
for treason as State secession ; E. Barksdale,
rebel General of Mississippi ; Charles C.
Langdon, who through the colunis of the Mo.
bile Advertiser, did very much to precipitate
the revolution in Alabama, and T. A. Boeock
Speaker of the Virginia rebel House of ll!p
-resentatives. The- Committee, likewise, in
eludes such notorious Copperheads as Jas.
A. Bayard, of Delaware; Stephen Archer,
of Maryliind, and J. F. McDonald, of In
diana.
Loyal men of:the country, how do you en
joy the spectacle? Those of you who are
now disposedp act with the Democracy, how
do you. relish the prospect of having such
characters as the above draw up a platform
and declarittions of principles for you? War
Democrats, who abandoned the peace organ.
ization during the rebellion, can you now be
lieve that the organization sympathizes any
less with the rebellion than it did four years
ago?—N. Y. Commercial Acltirtieer.
The nomination of SEYMOUR by VALLAN•
DIGHAM wafin perfect accord with the eter
nal fitness of things. Who during the war
was the greatest copperhead and the most
effective supporter of the Rebellion, is diffi
cult to determine. Both ardently , dewed the
success of the rebels. Vallandigham went
farthest and fared worst ; but that made him
now the better Democrat, and the most prop
or man in the world to bring out Seymour.
When Vallandigham worked himself up to
the leadership of tile party in the Convention
that body, which had so long drifted, realized
its mission, and Seymour was whirled into
the nomination very much after the manner
Sheridan sent Ewell whirling up the Valley.
It was an ,electritiii stroke, with the most ap•
proved copper batteries. But it was an in
stake° the loyal people of the, land, who have
not forgotten where Seymour stood during
. the war.—Pirts. Coss.
