BLADES TO BDII:YER. Letter frog , speaker Maine to C arles Satatter. livarsTA, Mo., Julj 3 ,1874. Hon. Charles Sumner,l4,ited States Senator—Dear Sir :Yo let ter pnblished in the papers of this morning will create profound pain and regret among your-former .. 4- ical friends throughout New 5 , ..' .d. Your power to injure General - e . t wasexhausted in your .== .. ble speech in the Senate. Your .. er to injure yourselt was not fully exer cised.until you .nouiteed an open alliance with the southern tax:aspen ists in their efforts to destroy the Republican party of the nation.l .- - I have but recently read with much u i interest the circumstsinaal and min . ute account given by you the fourth volume of your works o the Manner in which you were struck down in the Senate chamber in 1856, for the defending the rights Of the negro. The , Democratic party 1 throughout the south, and-acco ding to your own showing to some tent in the north also, approved -tha 'as sault upon you. Mr. Teomb of Georgia, openly announced ' —ap proval of it in the Senate, ,and Jef ferson Davis, four months its occurrence, wrote a letter to ' ' .. th Carolina in fulsome eulogy of : .. ks for loving so nearly - taken your life. It is safe to say that every men in the south who rejoiced over the at tempt to murder you was afteriward found in the rebel conspiracy to Mur der the nation. • It is still safer to say that every one of them who survives is to -day your fellow laborer in sup of Horace Greeley. In 1856 he ould indeed have been a rash prop hetwho predicted your fast alliance ' teen years after, with Messrs. - Toombs and Davis in-their efforts to: einstate their own party in power. In all the ca4 r startling mutations of Ameri po litics nothing so marvelous has ever occnrod as the fellowship oP bert Toombs, Jefferson Davis and les Sumner in a joint effort to drive the RepubLican_party from power! and hand over the government ,to the practical control of those who tie re cently sought to destroy it. 1 It is of no avail for you to I take refuge behind the Republican record of Horace Greeley. Conceding Or the sake of argument (as I do not in fact believe)-.that Horace Greeley Would remain firm in his Republican (prin ciples, he would be powerlss against the Congress JIM would come into power with him in the event of his election. We have had a recent and striking illustration, in the cake of Andrew Johnson, of the inability of the President to enforce a poliy , or li even a measure, against the of Congress. What more power- virould there be , in Horace Greeley to enfor ce a Republican policy against a Democratic Congress than there was in Andrew Johnson to enforce a Dem ocratic policy against a Republican Congress? And besides, Horace Greeley has already, in his letter of acceptance, taken ground practically against the Republican doctrine so often enforced 'by yciarself, of ,the duty of the national government to scenic) the rights of every citizen to protection of life, person and pro perty. In Mr. Greeley's letter accep ting. the Cincinnati nomination he pleases every Ku Klux villain in the South by repeating the Democratic can about "local self-; oyernment," and inveighing in g... —reboil par lance against, "centralization ,' and finally declaring that "there sh be no Federal supervision of the inter nal policy of the several States] and municipalities, but that each shall be left free to enforce the rights and pro mote the well-being of its inhabitants by such moms as the judgment of ite own,people shall prescribe." The meaning of all this, in plain English, is that no matter how the colored citizens of the South play be abused, wronged and oppressed,lCon grecs shall not interfere for them pro tection, but leave them to the tender mercies, of the "local self-govern ment" administered by the white `rebels. Do you, as, a friend to the Colored man, approve 'this ptition of "Mr Greeley ? Yon cannot forget, Mr. Suinner, how Often during the last session of Congress .you conferred with:Ole in regard 'to the possibility of 'haling your civitrights bill passed by the House. It was introduced by your personal. friend, Mr. Hooper, and nothing pro Vented its .. ._.. ! = by the Hems) except the rancorci. : and factious hostility \ of the Dein. i tic members. If I have correctly ,= - ined the Glohr, the\Democrabe .= em bers on seventeen different .... ..'ens resisted the passage of the civil r ights bill by the parliamentary process known as filibustering. They would not even allow it to come \ to al vote. Two intelligent colored\meiabere im South Carolina, Ellit and Rainey, begged of the Democratic, sirio of the Home to merely \lallow the civil rights bill to be voted,on, and they were answered with a do nial so absolute that it amounted 'to a geornful jeer of the rights of the, colored man. And now you lend TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, PA., AUGUST 15,1872. your voice and influence to the re election of those Democratic mem bers who are ocpepeniti lug with you in the support. of Mr. - Greeley. Do you not know, Mr. Sumner, and-will you not as a •candid man acknow- Mge, that with these men in Con gress, the rights of the -colored man are absolutely , s ac r ificed so far as those rights ftpndonFederntlegbi lation Your argument that Horace Greeley does not become a Democrat b re ceying Democratic asks kw it by the anakogy of you own *son to the eenate—k hardly pertinent. The point is not what Mr. Grade,. will become personally,what will become the eampliedcsr of the great legislative branch of the ggoovv ernment, with all Its vast aontroling power.; You know very well, • Mr. Summer, that if Mr. Greeley is elect ed President, Congress is handed over to the control of the party who have persistently denied the rights of he black man. What course you will pursue toward the' colored' man is of small consequnoe after you have transferred the power of government to his enemy. Still further : the rights of the col ored men in this country are neared, if secured at all, by the three great constitutional amendments— the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth. To give these amendments full scope and effect, legislation and Congress is imperatively required, as you have so often and eloquently demonstrat ed. But the Democratic party are on record in the most conspicuous manner against any legislation on the subject. It was only in, the month of February last that my col league, Mr. Peters, Offered a resolu tion in the House of Representatives, affirming the " validity of the consti tutional amendments and of such reasonable legislation of Congress as may be necessary to' make them in their letter and spirit most effectual." This resolntion,very mild aid guard ed as you will see—was adopted by 124 yeas to 58 nays ; only eight of the yeas were Democrats ; all the nays were Democrat& The resolution of Mr. Peters was followed a week later by one offered by Mr. Stevenson, Lei Ohio, as fol lows Ilesorved, That we recognize as valid and binding all existing laws passed by Congress for the enforce ment of the . Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth' amendments of the Constitution of the United States, and for the protection of citizens in their rights under the Constitution as amended. On the vote upon this resolution there were 107 yeas to 65 nays. AU the yeas were Republicans, and they are now unanimous in support of President Grant. All the nays were Democrats, who are now equally unanimous in support of Mr. Gree ley. _ It is idle to affirm, as some Demo crats did in a resolution offered. by Mr. Brooks of New York, " that these amendments are valid parts of the= , Constitution " so long as the same men on the same day vote that the provisions of these amendments should not be enforced by Congres- 1 sional legislation. The amendments are but "sounding brass and. tink- ling symbols" to the colored. man until Congress makes them effective and practical. Nay, more. If the rights of the colored man are to be left to the legislation of the Southern States, without Congressional inter vention, he would, under , a Demo cratic administration, be deprived of the right of suffrage in less than two years, and he would be very lucky if he escaped some form of chattel slavery or peonage. And in proof of this danger I might quote volumes of wisdom and warning from the ppeeches of Charles Sumner. When, therefore, you point out to the colored men that their rights will be safe in the hands of the Demo- cratic party, you delude and mislead them—l do , not say wilfully, but none the less. really. The small handful of Republicans, compared with the whole mass, who unite with yourself and Mr. Greeley in going over to the, Democratic - party, can not leaven that lump of political un soundness even if you preserve ,your own original principles in the con tact. The administration of Mr. Greeley, therefore, should he _ be' elected, wo dbe in the 'whole :and in detail a Democratic administra tion, and u would be compelled to go with L current or repent and turn hack when too late to mend the evil you bad done. . The colored men of this country are not, as a class, enlightened; but they; have wonderful instincts, and when they read Your letter they will know that at a great crisis in their fate you deserted them. Charles Sum mer cooperating with Jefferson Da vis is ,not the same Charles Summer they have hitherto idolized, any more than Horace Greeley, cheered to the echo in Tammany Hall, is the same Horace Greeley whom the Republi cans have hitherto treated. The lack men of this country will . never be ungrateful for what youLhave done for them in the past nor the bitter ness Of their hearts, will they ever forget that, heated and blinded by personal hatred of one man, you turned your back on the millions to whom in past years you have stood as a shield and bulwark. of dfi canes:.

Alenlitt REPLY TO ita StIVIEL HU Letter by bar t een Willillin formany likoYd yeari Garriso s parso n, w na bo friend alienator Sumner, has Writ ten a long letter in reply to Mr. Stun tier's' argument for Greeley. The larger part of this letter wo p rint be jaw : Dun Mn.' Smetza : Though I shadd be strongly induced, by the il=in g subsisting between tia, po a position antagonistic al 'to yyoouurr own, under ordinary cif= camshnoes, even if I'deemed it erro nem, yet all personal considerations must be subonlinated to the public welfare when seriinisly imperilled. You do not believe in silence in a crisis like the present, nor do L ! In year recent leUw to certain colored eitbanis of Washington, you have spoken plainly, vehemently, and with, rhetorical amplification (not for the first time) in utter condemnation o the President of the United States; and your advice to the whole body of the colorod , voters is that they concentrate their suffrages upon a rival candidate in the person of Hor ace Greeley. * * * ._.. ' * The Republicanparty, (the pro duct of thirty years mo ral and reli gious agitation for the overthrow of slavery) has crushed a vast sectional rebellion for the erection of an inde pendent slave empire ' • has emanci pated four millions of bondmen ' and elevated them to the plane of Ameri can citizenship ; has reconstructed the rebellions States on a common Constitutional basis, with universal liberty; has brought order out of chaos, general tranquility out': of widespread disaffection, unexampled prosperity out of frightful devasta tion,,and has advanced the banner of ,liberty and equality far beyond the expectation or hope of any man liv ing ten years ago. The day has gone by, therefore, for any one to ex hibit remarkable courage or conspi cuity in the advocacy of any measure in behalf of tho rights and interests of our coloredpopuktion, except, in- deed where the old slaveholding spi rit still exercises masteryat the 'South. Nor is it pertinent to the occasion to talk of their " infinite wrongs," now that they are emanci-• pated and enfranchised, supplied with multitudinous schools and teach ers, free to make their own contracts as independent laborers, protected'as husbands and wives, bound together as-parents and children, voting and being voted for, pursuing successful ly all professional employments, stea dily auguienting their home comforts and laying up wealth, occupying sta tions of trust and emolument, and haVing their representatives in every Southern Legislature #and on the floor of Congress. True, in certain loCalities they are still subjected ,_to many indignities, and sometimes to horrible outrages; but these are in flicted by that class of incorrigible miscreants of the South who are just now in happy affiliation with yourself to' place Horace Greeley in the Pres idential chairj True, there is still thrOughout the country a strong prejudice against social equality irre- Spective of color; bat this is steadily yielding. and in many cases has ceas ed to operate. The special time to express sympathy for the' " infinite wrongs ' of the colored race was when they had few to interfere for their deliverance from — the auction block and slave coffle, from the slave driver's gory lash, from galling yokes and torturing 'thumb-screws, from the fangs of pursuing . bloodhounds, from the clutches of prowling kid nappers, from inconceivable agonies at the burning stake ; and when to " remember those in bonds as bound with them " led anywhere else- than to the high places of the country. And I always deeply regret too, (as I am quite sure you now do), that for so many years after the com mencement of the • struggle to effect that deliverance, when the elements were melting . with fervent 'heat, and mobocratic violence for the suppres sion of anti-slavery dismission was everywhere prevalent, not excepting in your own native city, you took no active part in That conflict, attended no anti-slavery gatherings, gave 'no visible sign of a lively interest in its success; for the first time bearing your publicT testimony against slave ry in opposing the annexation of Texas. When elected to the United: States Senate in 1851, you sat nearly eight months in that body speechless in respect to the fugitive slave bill, and eliciting strong remonstrances 1 against' your protracted silence, see ing that, as the successor' of Mr. Webster, your election was regarded as an` important gain to the cause of impartial freedom. Your silence was the more inexplicable, and furnished just cause for uneasiness, because,. in a sp eech made by you before going to Washington, you said : " The sub ject will not admit df postponement or hesitation. It is the subject of subjects. From this time forward it will be entertained by Congress; it will boi ? as it were, one of the orders of the day; it 'cannot be passed over or forgotten. * * * We demand, first and foremost, the instant repeal of the fugitive slave bill." You took your seat in the Senate. December 1, 1851; it was not until the 27th of Ju ly, 1852, that you rose to advocate 1 that repeal, apologeticallyprefacing your remarks by saying : "-Had I at tempted this duty at an earlier day, it might have been said that as a new-oomer and inexperienced in this. rule, without deliberation, hastily, rashly, recklessly, I pushed this ques tion before the country." Surely, no true friend of humanity would have made such a fling, and the pos sible sneers of its enemies were not 1 deserving a moment's consideration. Besides, the discussion had been go ing on throughout, the land ever since the passage Of the fugitive slave bill, so that thu talk of " push ing the question " upon the public attention was . a misapplication F of l anguage. *t * t ,* * * *! * Having at last decided to support Mr. Orceley.

Their object is not to strike down freedom of choice, but to save them selves from a cruel betrayal. Yon can shed no light-ontl i eir pathway ; for they have a much earer vision than your own, and a practical blow ledge of men and things, . around them that you do not possess. Talk not to them in disparagement of President. Grant; tell 1 them not of the superior virtues of Mir. Greeley !

"0 madness of discourse That cause sets up with and against itself Bi-fold authority! whore realion can revolt Without perdition, and loss astmme all reason Without revolt ; this is, and 13 not, Cressid."

A boast like this should be equivalent to tying a mill stone around his neck to drown him in the 'depth of - the patriotic -senti ment of the country.
