POLITICAL.
Speech of F. P. Blair Accepting the Dem
ocratic Nomination—A Pill for Union
Soldiers.
[By Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gazette.]
NEW Yonic, July ll.—The following is a
the speech made by F. P. Blair last evening,
in reply to Gen. Morgan:
I accept the platform of resolutions pass
ed by the late Democratic Convention, and
I accept 'their nomination with feelings
the most profound gratitude. And, sir, I
thank you for the very kind manner in which
you have conveyed to me the decision of
the Convention. I accept the nomination
with the feeling that your nomination for
the Presidency is one which will carry us
to certain vietory, and because •I believe
that nomination is the most appropriate
that could be made by the Democratic Con
vention. The contest which we wage is
for the restoration of Constitutional Gov
ernment,
and it is appropriate that we
should make this contest under the lead of
one who has given his life to the mainte
nance of Constitutional Government. We
make this contest for the restoration of
the principles of Government which' belong
to our rape, and, ny fellow-dtizens,- it is
most proper that we should select for our
leader, not from' the military, but one who
has devoted himself to civil pursuits and to
the study of the understanding of our Con
stitution and its maintenance with all the
force of reason and judgment.
My fellow-citizens, I have said the con
test before us was one for the restoration of
our race. It is to prevent the people of our
.race being excluded from their homes,cx
iled. from the Government -which they
formed and created for themselves and for
their children, and to prevent them ft om
being - driven out of exile or trodden under
the foot of a semi-barbarous race. In the
contest we shall have the syinpathy of every
man who is worthy to belong to_ the white
race. What civilized people on the earth
would refuse to aesociate with themselves in
all the rights and honors and dignities 'of
their country such men as Lee.and Johnston
'[Voice, "none," "aline."] What civilized
country would fait to do honor to those who,
fighting for an erroneous cause, yet distin
guished themselvee by gallantry never auk
passed [applaue) in that contest, for which
they are sought 10 be disfranchised and exiled
from their homes? In that contest they proved
themselves to be our peers. [At this point
' there was an omnious silence, followed
by repressed clapping of hands and faint
cheers.]
My fellow citizens, , it is not my purpose to
make a lengthened address,.but simply to
express my gratitude for the 'distinguished
honor which has been conferred on me.
And now, from my heart I reiterate the
words of thanks that fell from my lips
when I rose. '

BRICK POMEROY;
His ViewsH on Seymnur and Blair.
The La Crosse Democrat of July 6th han
dles Seymour and Blair—Tho had not then
received the DeMocratic nomination—with
out gloves. As the Doi2ocrat, edited by the
notorious Brick , POrneroy, is - a power in the
Democratic party, having the largest circu
lation of any Democratic newspaper, it is of
interest to know what it thinks of the Demo
cratic candidate?. ,
HIS VIEWS OF HORATIO 13EYSIHHR.
We noticed that Governor Seymour made
a speech in New York City on the 25th of
June, in which,the telegraph says, he
jrha"pro
ceeded to reiterate his views formerl ex
pressed on the financial question." ,-. t
those views are, its contained in Ids' bany
speech, our readers are fully'informed—pre
ciselY those atlirm9d by the Jacobins at their
Chicago Convention—gold for the bond
holders, rags for the people.
`-' I It is well known' that Governor Seymour
is'opposed to touching the financial question
—wants to leave it stand as it is ' all in favor
of the bondholder and against tlie people— ,
gold and 'and
taxes to pay for' the former,
and rags, 'and all the taxes to pay fo*the
latter. a
With characteristic sophistry, he' says that
"our debt is not due until fifteen years from
this time." Therefore, he says, its present
discussion is .useless—it is; not a practical
question.
Of the fearful consequences of following
Gov. Seymour's advice we have heretofore
expressed our views, and we now repeat
them, on the eve of the great event which
is to determine the destiny of the American
people.
Gov. Seymour is, trying to put the public
mind asleep on the:bond_ question and leave
Me plowholders to sweat, and stagger, _and
starve under the load of taxation, to pay the
bondholders their semi-annual interest in
gold, and their taxes in addition:ly, telling
the 'country that the financial question should
not be brought into the canvass this year,
that everything is well enough as it is, if
-you will only Make the country economize
in its expenditures, and that a generation
hence will be time enough to talk about the
national debt.
How false and , deceptive -
It takes one hundred and twenty-five mil
lions in gold—say one hundred and seventy
five millions in greentacks, at the present
depreciation—to pay the interest on the
bonds. This load upon industry—this drain
,upon the resources of the plowholders—,
Gov. Seymour Proposes to continue without
change tot a generation or,more.
Why? ,
Because he has not ,courage to grapple
with the question like a statesman and a
patriot.!
And because tive bondholdrs have got hhn
in their toils, and steaming him - to uphold
their interest=

FIIANN/1". BLAIR, OLD BLAIN, AND TitN
„.. 7 , mama oznimAx.r.v.
'lt isieported that Montgomery Blair says'
- that none of the candidates now prominent- 4
ly named will receive the Democratic norni
-1 nation at New Yo k, and that the party can
only be united by bringing 'forward a new
man--Exchango.
Such stuff as the above is more than Dem
ocratirinature cant bear. To have' one of
that pestilent Blair family talking thus ocu
larly about the affairs of - the Democratic
party is the mostimpudent thing 9f the day.
What have the Blairs in common with
the Democratic party? Old Blair has been
virulently working ariainst it, and doing it
all the harm in his power, for more than
twenty years, and during all this time—
embracing the whole of their political lives
—the young Blairs have been ready and ac
tive co-workers with their father in feeling
his hate and ministering to his thirst' of
vengeance' against the Demobratic party.
They all contributed, to the extent of
their ability, to widen the gulf and increase
the bitterness bet Ween the North and South,
which led to the late tremendous convul
sions. They were in .every movement for
the promotion of iectional division and hos
tility, from the fie'e soil defection, under the
Van Burens, in 1146-74—nutinly - instigated
and engineered by old Blair—until the elec
tion of Lincoln, and the inauguration of
abolition diabolisni in the Capitol of the
Union. •
One of the young Blairs, a member of
Lincoln's Cabinet, the' other one' of his
military tools—the eiviikan damning hint 4
self forever as a publiOnan, and placing
an impassable barrier between himself and
all true democratic fellowship, by a bold
violation of law, an 'audacious defiance of
the Constitution, in excluding from the
mails all Democratic papers Which conspic
uously differed in opinion from the 'Raley
and measures of the Lincoln 'administra
tion, and when respectfully asked by the
parties, aggrieved why, and by 'what au
thority, such action was 'taken against
them, insolently p answered, as wouldnpetu
lent boy, when questioned why he had been
guilty of certain misconduct "I did it be
caws :Thad a mind to"'—and the military
member of the Blair family, making his
first demonstraticm in , the field, by leading
his regiment of brutal ruffians' against the:
unarmed populace Of St Louis, indiscrimi
nately shooting down in the crowded
streets, men, women and children, murder
ing by wholesale an unoffending popula
tion, and committing a deed of•cruelty
blacker and more - unpardonable than any of
which the infarnbus Buwarrow was ever
guilty, and, in contrast with which the acts
of woman-whipping Haynau, whom the
sturdy and indignant brewers of London
so mercilessly hooted and pelted, appear
decent and human.
And this he; too, did—"because he had a
mind to." -
And who does not 'remember that fine
piece of political strategy—that charmingly
pure and honorable bit of manceuvering be
tween Lincoln and yOu'ng Frank Blair,
during the war, when the litter, while hold
ing a general's commission in the rimy, got
himself elected to Congress from St. Louis.
Frank Wanted to get into the House and
be Speaker. If he couldn't be Speaker, he
wanted to remain a General: But he could
pot be a member of the House sued a Gene
ntrboth at the;same time.
This had to be Managed in some way.
Si; Frank and . brother Montgomery, and
Lincoln, aid old ,Uuut Blair, • got together
and set their. Wits'at work to. devise some
*lir Of getting along with it. "-
retult,lvis eminently creditable to•
the purity and ingenuity' of the parties con
cerned.'- and demonstrated that ther'Blair
. fiunity will not .vohintailly.give a good
'thing that they have in posseseion, without
making sure of something better in ex
NUMBER 160:
change. So it was arranged that Frank
should resign his general's corn mi4sion and
Lincoln should accept it, but noticonfer it
on any one else, until: it was seen!whether
or not Frank got the Speakership, Pnd if lie
did not he was to have his commission back.
• .
And so it was carried out. Frank did not
become Speaker, and was re-instated in the
army, furnishing an eminent example of the
purity and patriotism that prevailed in those
days, and for which the Blair famithas al
ready; been so , distinguished. -
rii y
Thus were these younger Blahs lie ready
tools and co-workers of Lincol and the
Jacobin party during the whole process of
the destruction of the grand fabr c of free
government which now lies in'ruins around
us, counseling the worst and allithe toes- i
sures which the destructionists introduced
and carried out, and the elder Blair, like a
spiritpf evil; thrustinghimselfinte the dark
conclaves of the conspirators against public
liberty, hissing out his venom against , .the
Democratic party, and instigating the -avast
logs and destroying of the South for grudges '
of well-nigh forty years standing, eoneeived
and cherished because her leadi4g men— ,
Calhoun, McDullie, Rowan, Bibb, Taze
well, Troup, Davis , and othert—always
scorned him as a' inercenarp adVenturer,
and refused to recognize him - in society..
It is this Blair family, whose history is
thus truthfully sketched, which:Miff claims
position and voice in the Democratic party,
and even assumes to dictate its n4mination
for, the Presidency. In fact, it has the
modesty to claim the nomination fbr one of
its own members—the butcher of Bt. Louis
- r -the nice young gentleman who so adroit
ly balanced between the Speakerip and a
Brigadier Generalship, and to whom Lin
coln so kindly, tossed the latter when the
former was not to be eotight.
Has the; Democratic party fallen - so low
as to be used by( such creatures? 1 Is it so
craven as to allow such fellows to say, what it
shall - do or what it shall not delt? One of
these Blahs has the impudence to say - that'
the party 'cannot be united on any one of
the 'candidates already named—t(ome new
man must be taken up! Think of st i Look
it over ! 0, the sublimity of thitt fellow's
conceit ! Where is Train? Send for Train!.
He only dim match him. ! -
The Democratic party cannot bey united on ,
any candidate already named! Good! Where
did you learn all that Mantgome4? By go
ing to Sibrer Spring and consulting the old
Man; or sending out to St. Lou'4 and ask
ing brother Frank? Then the Blair family
stands out against the nomination of any
candidate already named! Of course, the
Democratic party cannot be united then on
any of these candidates! The Blair family
"goes back" on theSe candidateS! So the
party cannot unite on any onof them!
The party is not united, without: aßlairs!
n fact, it is no party "without Blain!
k,
Whew! "What a big fatally! TO use the
expression iit.their late 'amen* master,
"Vita a long tail'our cat has got!"
But all this difficulty could be 'got over, if
the Convention would unite the party by
nominating General Etna.. Thenthe par
ty would be united, of comae, fctr the Blair-
family would be satisfied! When -they are
satisfied the party is united! How simple!
Why has not this been thought iof before?
' Now. gentlemen, enough of!this. - The
Democratic -party is united =? united: as
never before, upon principles and a man!
You know this full well, and all your ef
forts will avail nothing to defeat the peo
ple's will. In this great crisis you are of
no account—you have no weight—•you
must stand.aside and give placeo the mil
lions who are going to do thevoting and
elect the ticket, and will had it to suit
t
them—or know the reason why! i •
This trifling with the people's i will must
stop. This 'cheating mast have an end.
The country has had enough oil it, and its
patience is exhausted. The public mind
must not be provoked farther. There is a
feeling growing up most threatening to, cer
stain conspicuous actions in they interest of
the bondholders. Foul play is apprehended!
If it be successfully consummated, prepare
for the consequences. The people's 'wrath
will be terrible, and they will take up their
own cause, and battle for it under leaders of
their own selection, and in whoth they can
trust. Drive them rot to this. You .will
not if you be wise. But if, bent upon your
own destruction, you provoke yeur fate, let
it come. As sire as there is a God in heav
en, the people shall not be.betrayed. with
impunity. Liberty must be derendediyuth
;vindicated, and justice .and equality
established, at whatever coat: We warn all
who have entered into the conspiracy of the
bondholders against the right,ito look to
their safety, while they may, and make har
mony where they are threatening discOrd,
and sedure victory when they' are plotting
'defeat. They are the only obstaclito Dem
ocratic Muttony; They are disturbing it
by endeavoring to make the majority, of the
party yield to the Minority, andithat minor
ity most i insignificant in ritunbers, and
strong only in wealth, social position _and
political leadership. - But the ptcy of the
latter is identified with the anti- emociatic
theories, and leads to certain defeat.

Tnn greenbacks are "obligations of the
Government" which "do floe ,expressly
state upon their face," nor does' "the law
under which they were issued provide that
that shall be paid in 65in." AecoOing to the
Democratic platform, therefore, they ought
to be paid in greenbacks. Is the National
Government, like Macawber--whenit, gives
one note to take up another-4to "thank
God that debt is paid?"
