It is impossible to reconcile the sonflict
ing theories, and the inconsistencies of fact,
i a
which ve ;been promulgated in public
speecheby,
by distinguished Demcalratic lead
ers. Gen. BrArn does not hold with his _
unsuccessful competitor for the nomination,
Gen. 11Writo, nor do either of them concur
with Mr. Jon soreslate Attorney General,
HxNeor ISTANIIRRY. It grieves. us also to
i -
add that neither of these gentlemen state
their facts precisely alike, either to each
other' or to the actual truth, and that Mr.
Bram, conspicuous in his official position, 1
1 maintains an equal superioiity, over those
of his compeers above I named, in the
dashing soldiership with which he marshals
his battalions of falsehood to attack the
1 truth of history. 1 i
Our readers are aware that two versions
of Gen. BLent's speech in this city,, on
Monday night, have been given to the world
i
—ene version being the corre one, and
reporting his literal utterances, appeat i ing
only in this journal, r and the of r ing a
more carefully guarded oration co ord
by the speaker in the privacy o his otel,
before an audience of two or three reporters
only, on the day preceding, and given to all
the press of this city in advance. We
judged it expedient, not a little in view of
Gen. BLAIR'S manifest desire that he should
not be literally reported, to provide for our
columns a copy of the spoken address, leav
ing the prepared manuscript, of the speech
that was not made, for our neighbors. The
results of onr wise precaution are eminently
satisfactory to our friends and to the public
generally, Gen. BLAIR'S especial support
ers being alone dissatisfied with the bold
assurance of his attempt to palm off upon
them an unspoken composition.
We propose to criticize such of his argu
ments, and_ the statements of alleged fact
from which he deduces them, as prominently
arrest our attention. In doing so, we may
incidentally allude to the marked discrep
ancies between what he wrote and what he
actually said. _
R 30, 18684
And, first, General Bunt; common
with the entire mob of Denitieratic orators,
insists that the provisional reconstructiOn,
accomplished by President JOHNSON, and
which Congress in due time repudiated, was
Constitutional in method, ample in scope,
universally acceptable in fact, and satisfac
tory to all parties, leaving no traces of rebel
heresy uneffaced; and securing to Loyalty
and Peace perpetual guarantees. General
BLAIR insists that General GRANT concur
red in this provisional policy, as applied in'
the case of North Carolina. Gen. EWING
went further in his Zanesville speech, and
stated that Congress and the entire Repub
lican party were at ,one time committed to
the finality of the same Presidential recon
struetion. Attorney General STARNER , /
goes still beyond this, and argues that this
method of reconstruction, concurred in by
the people of the Northern States, com
pletely satisfied all the legal and constitu
tional conditions. To all and each of which
positions of these eminent Democratic ex
pounders of the Constitution, we
replp—
Ffret—The loyal 'masses of the North,
comprehending as well Gen. GRANT as the
great body of the Republican party, (there
being many exceptions to the latter, in
which we desire to be reckoned,) acqai
esced in Mr. LINCOLN'S policy of recon•
straction upon certain conditions, as fol-'
lows: that Slavery should be coru3idered;
forever abolished; that the doctrine of Seces
sion should be perpetually abjured; that the
personal (not the political) rights of the cit
izen should be everywhere equally recog
nized, irreapective of raze, color or previous
condition; that the rebel war debt' should
never be paid or even recognized by either
State or National authority; that the Federal
war debt, including the obligations for pen
sions, &c., should ever be- held sacredly
binding; and that the right of representation
and of suffrage should be held indissolubly
an unit, defining absolutely thereby the
political statue of citizens. These were
frankly proclaimed by Congress to be the
conditions, complete and final, upon which
it would concede the sanction of the law
making power of the Union to the extra
constitutional assumptionsof the Executive.
Loyalty,, victorious and supremely power
ful, exacted no other conditions, imposed
upon a crushed rebellion no other terms. In
the same hour and with equal frankness, it
warned the vanquished that the rejection of
these terms would ensure the stipulation of
other terms much less acceptable.
Second—Alone of the eleven States, Ten
nessee accepted all these
. conditions, and
she was thereupon immediately restored to
all her rights in the Union. (The other
States gave only their partial assent; they
agreed to the' abolition of slavery, and the
XIIIth amendment therefore stands a part
of the Constitution to-day; their new State
Constitutions,' made under the President's
auspices, also abjured secession,—and here
they stopped. Why ? Because, just at that
moment, presidential reconstruction, in the
policy of Mr. Jonrisow, changed front, and
assumed the phase of a bitter hostility to any
interposition of the Congressional authority.
Because the law-making department saw fit
to impose' these additional terms, all of
which we have above specified, the Presi
dent—who had strangely become transmu
ted from the vindictive prosecutor of treason
to the ardent friend of treason unpunished;
whose ambitious purpose, of leading back
into the National councils all the hosts of
the late rebellion, and of maintaining them
there as his own personal adherents, were
about to be frustrated by the wisdom of the
People—this Executive cast off all disguises
and, leaping over the chasm hetween Loyal
ty and Rebellion, sprang to the head of the
conquered Confederacy and - announced
himself the champion of their rightful resist
ance to "Congressional usurpations." Was
it to be wondered at that Rebellion once
more reared its encwraged head, and that,
under such a tempting leadership as , that of
the President of the Nation, the Southern
people should feel all their treasonable hopes:,

Third—At this point, Congress, the loyal
North, the Republican party and General
GRANT found - themselves instantly and
compactly united: , From that moment,
there has been but one question, and while
they were on one side, the other was held.
by ANDREW jotrasorr, the Southern rebels,
the Northern Copperhead Democracy, and
by none else.
The power 'of the Union ought not to be
and has not been thus resisted successfully.
_Congress immediately resumed the func
tion hriposed upon it by the Constitution: It
swept 'away Mr. Jonxson's- assumptions
and his bastard creations with a word ; it
took measures for bringing about the estab
lishment of legal State governments ; if had,
no' right to exclude any freeeitizen of those
States from the duty of participation in the
orderly' and republican reconstruction of
their lOcal institutions; it made temporary
provision for the maintenance of peace and
order in the disorgnnized States by military
authority, but in the same act directed all
loyal citizens of such States to proceed forth
with in makinegoverninentsforthemselves.
Slavery, with all its adjuncts, its peculiar
privileges and its' peculiar disabilities had
gone forever i• here lay the territory of tail
States, States in area, ,States in population,
States in everything but the possession Of
any legally existing form whatever of civil
government, populated by twelve MilllollB
of 61tizens, all. of Whom had' equai
natural rights, which God gave them and
which- neither man nor man's government'
could takeaway, and none of whom, no not
one, white or black, had in the extinguish..
meat of his _rebellion, any political .rights
whatever except Bach as ; ha 'might hold un
derthe'Constittition and laws of the Feder- 1
al Union. Not one State law remained ex-I
taut and valid throughout the South, which
could take political rights froth one class
confer them solely upon another. Slavery
and all that savoured of its cipie had been
blotted out forever. The removal of that
great foundation made the entire fabric of
municipal legislation, based upon its inclu
sions and exclusions of political right, to
topple prostrate and indistinguishable into
i the dus ./
Thus, then, the Congress of the united
and loyal people approached this business.
They came to deal with twelve millions of
natural' persons- within their several 'tate
limits; they came to pronounce the extent
and nature of, what political rights they
might, individually and collectively, enjoy
and exercise; they came to say who should
be voters and who not, in the preliminary
movements toward the organization of their
governments; they came to that question of
the suffrage,and of eligibility to election by
the suffrage, as a question entirely nesr--
nova res—whereupon no local precedent was
.binding, no local law supplied any existing
standard, and which could only be defined
in accordance with the great fundamental
principles of Republicanism an liberty.
What a spectacle would Christendom have
seen in an American Congress, sitting un
der the triumphant eagles of a Republican
Union preserved at such an unspeakable/
cost, and proceeding to ostracise the loyal
majority of these millions at the South,
hearkening to the exploded prejudices of
ignorance and brutality, disfranchising. the
friends and enfranchising only the enemies
of the National supremacy,and,with a fatuity
as short 7 sighted as it would :have been vio
lent in 'this 'era 'of Christ, disarming the
Union in the hour and
-upon the scene of its
dearly bought triumphs, by reinaugumting
the inexcusable and pernicious theory of
Privilege of Race I No. thank God ! An
American Congress had no right, and exer
cised none, to 'consider aught but loyalty
and.faithful submission to its requirements,
when pronouncing the fiat which gave 'a
political status to the citizens of the South.
It found all loyal citizens, of whatever race
or color, equally qualified; of these, and of
none others, it made voters for the business
in hand. It dealt with Georgia as it would
with Ohio or Pennsylvania, rebel in arms,
conquered, its municipal institutions self
shattered, and awaiting humbly, as becomes ,
the vanquished, the reinauguration of its
political existence by the conquering pow
er; to us here, under the same circumstan
ces, the Congress of the Union would im
pose the same conditions ; it would recog
nize no distinction of clas% or race among
our vanquished people, because none such
are now recogniied in the Federal-lionstitu
lion; ,it would admit to the suf
frage all loyal and submissive citizens,
regardless of ,the distinctions "previously
known only to the municipal regulations
will& had passed away; that definition of
the 'suffrage would complete its functions in
the completion of the work of our recon
struction, and the whole question would
again lapse legally and naturally under the
control of our own new municipal regula
tions, when these had been thus provided, by
virtue of our compliance with the condi
tions imposed. Then, and not before, we
could, ourselves, once more organized into
lawful States, dispose of all political ques
tions, the suffrage included, as we might
please. And this is what Georgia may do
to-day. Not as she has attempted it, in a
mode illegal and revolutionary, but by the
orderly method of a Convention legally
called and elected, and framing any repub
lican Constitution according to the will of,
her peoPle. Ohio or Penn'sylvania, brought
into the Union as Georgia has been, might
proceed at once lawfully to/revise that ques
tion of the suffrage, and wodd\again settle it
as it stands now. Georgia busy do the
same;
,she may ~h old a Cont ention to- :
morrow; she cannot'restore slagery,
but she can, •if her people choose, con.
fine the suffrage to the feW, or confer it
upon all. At that time And in that way,
the' question' is wholly hern to control; until

the Party of , the Union demands from the
reconstructed South!, ; TT his is all that recon
-1
str ction has accomplished . And it has

do e, least of all by the revolutionary vio
le ce with , which Bain; HAMPTON and
tti tr compeers are madly dashing out the
b ` ns of a once respectable and great
p y against the immoveable and impreg
ble bulwarks of the Federal Constitution.
hose walls are immovable because they are
builded on the eternal foundations of Lib
erty and Justice; they are impregnable, be
use their stamp' rts are crowned by the
..'ght of twenty-four millions of loyal peo
tie, vigilant and courageous to defend them
the last.
We hold it to be clear that Congress had
lawful control over Reconstruction ; that
reconstruction was necessary for the peo
ples who had no lawful governments exist
ing ; that Congress might, lawfully impose
conditions; that the l conditions imposed
were in their essence just and right ; that,
as to the suffrages in the preliminary popu
lar action, the only question for Congress to
consider' was not the race of the citizen, but
.
,
his fitness for the trust, the loyalty of his
motives, of his submission to the terms
offered, and how far his exercise of the
right would be compatible with the public
safety; that reconstruction thus perfected
remits all municipal questions to the people
of . each State ; that, lawfully , revised and
amended as these may choose, the super
vision of Congress is thereafter lawful only
to', satisfy the Constitutional requirement
that all the gtate governments shall be re
publican in form ; that each and all of the
reconstructed states is the Cole judge of the
suffrage now, as absolute in the future as
powerless to dispute the results which have
preceded its restoration.
The Republican party demands only this
`—that the ' conditions imposed upon, and
now accepted by the late rebel peoples, as
spenified In the' utset of this article, shall
be.ever held to be, as of right and in fact
1 - they are, a part of the Federal Constitution.
They regard all the steps taken to secure this
acceptance as no longer inlquestion. They
remit Negro Suffrage and all other ques
tions of political rights to the States respec
twely, and these may dispose of them how
f r r
and when they please, provided only that
their action be orderly and lawful; they may
adopt new constitutions every month if they
choose, but they must and shall take for
that only the lawful and orderly means.
I
No rebellion, no violence, no anarchy
shall be permitted: He e is where the
13LArn Democracy take issue with us.
They say that they can abolish such exist
ing institutions an are distasteful to them
only by violence and revolution, only by the
brute force of ani army wielded regardless
of laws and Courts by a Presidential Dicta
tor. If this be their only remedy, the LORD,
help them, for their case is beyond human
1
aid, past human cure. But they in fact
have another and most accessible mode of
relief. Let them educate and instruct the
colored Democracy up either to the point of
equal fitness to enjoy political privileges, or
to that of contentedly resigning their pres
ent participation therein. If the Uegroes
are not smart enough to know the value of
their rights, they can easily be persuaded to
surrender them; if they are too smart for
this it is safe to make voters of them, and
it only remains to imbue them with Demo
cratic principles. i
So much for reconstruction and its Demo
cratic enemies.
A DEMAGOGUE IN DESPAIR
General Buarn is unfortunate• in being a
Biwa in'his politics. The Democracy are
still more Unfortunate in having been utter:.
ly debauched and ruined as a party by the
fatal counsels which this 'reckless politician
has been induced to represent, - in the inter
ests of the late rebel South. We would
rather speak of him as a General, for his
military recordrmprises all of him that is
creditable as a üblic man. As a politician
he was long since completely "played out"
and shelved, with the rest of his family, by
the disgusted friends of the Union.
His speech in this city on Monday night
was plainly made with the hope of arrest
ing the same sentiment of disgust which be
gins to pervade his new associates of the
Democracy. Thine years since, General
BLAIR was so completely "used up" as a
politician that nothing remained to him ex
cept the destruction • either of himself or of
his Republican associates. Attempting the
latter, he has achieved only the former. It
is true thathe may flatter himself in the tem
porary possession of very doubtful honors,
as a high candidate of that party which he
•'once intensely hated, but it may be eonsid
ered-as certain as fate that these honors have
been purchased by so base and shameless an
abandonment of his former principles, by a
surrender so unjustifiable and disgraceful to
the Copperheads and rebels who use him
and despise him, that his inevitable defeat
will be followed, if he be still capable of the
sentiment of shame, by the keen'est remorse.
Being a Brant, he may be above any weak
ness of that s rt, but, if he were any body
e t)
else, the sens 'of deeply irretrievable dis
grace' and se f-humiliation which awaits
him, would be crushing to the last degree.
Imagine the assurance of this demagogue,
the audacity of his desperation, when I be
could stand up in Pittsburgh, even before
the ignorant and brutalized men who com
posed a part of his audience, and tell them
that "an army- of over fifty thousand
men, costing $150,000,000 every year," Was
now engaged in keeping , the Southern
'whites in stilxirdination to the blaCks. He
Knew, when he said this, that not one-third
as many soldiers were now stationed
in the South, :and that the total cost
of the entire War Department thit year is
only $88,000,000.
Again, see how coolly he asserted that
the National debt had been ineresied; and
not "diminished. •.lEyeti monthly: state-

known that every intellipmt man who
heard him knew it to be a falsehood, and
that the Debt has actually been lesaened by
nearly three hundred millions of dollars.
This deliberate mis-statement, with his
equally false insinuation that the . National
banks derive "some eighteen or twenty
millions" from the Treasury, paying nothing
back, reminds us that he had better i have
stuck to his old idea that "all talk about
greenbacks, the debt, banks and taxation is
idle."
His declaration that the Supreme Court
has detided the reconstruction acts to be un
constitutional; that the great body orthe
Southern whites were loyal at the begin
ning of the war; that the negroes were dis
loyal from its beginning to 'its end; that
Gen. GRANT has continuously approved the
policy of President JoEssoN, and other as
sertions which might be_specified, were all
equally gratuitous( and discreditable to his
intelligence and honesty.
We have to thank him for his re-endorse
ment of the Brodhead letter, and for the Us
sue of falsehoods and fallacious reasimings
by which he sought to defend it. ( The
country needs only to comprehend the fall
import of that remarkable document, and of
the Democratic platform braided upon that
as its corner-stone, and to know that such
dangerous opinions are still maintained by
the candidate who first propounded them,to
be thereby advised of its own duties and am
ply' prepared for the issue at the polls.
It is noticeable that the whole of his argu
ment, based upon the alleged fact of the
general loyalty of the Southin people in
1881, but that they were deserted by our
own Government, (Bueusi t ilair's,) and
dragged by the conspirators into the rebel-
lion for their self-preservatien, is i entirely
omitted from the written addresi which has
been palmed off upon the public as the real
speech by our Democratic neighbor of the
Post. We are half inclined to forgive the
unscrupuldus audacity of Bram in his fab
rications of fact, his' puerile weakness of sr]
gument, and his shaineless invitation of the
people to anarchy and bloodshed, in con=
sideration of the candid admission which
the Post would not print, but which ar
raigned a Democratic administration as
guilty accomplice in the first rebellion.
Here is testimony conclOsive •antruiwn
authority not to be disputed by the Demo
cracy; that every citizen should remember:
"The people of the South, the loyal men
of the South, voted against these - ordi
nances (of secession) at the very moment
of time the Government of the United
States ; were tinning the conspirators of the
South—the Knlgl4s of the Golden Circle—
and furnishing them with arms out of the
public arsenals, with which to put down the
loyal men of the South who ; stood np for
the government." l
This is the _public testimony of General
Burn, the present Democraticcandidstefor
the Vice Presidency; delivered in a speech
at Pittsburgh, September 28, '6B. For the
present, we have no Anther' u s e for the Wit
ness, unless he is impeached by his present
friends.

At this season the difference between the temper
ature of night and day is greater than as any other
period of the year, and the stomach, the liver, the
bowels and the nervous system are apt to receive
violent shocks from these changes, resulting In in
digestion, bilious attacks, debility. low nervous
fever, fever and ague, remittent fever, &c. Sustain
and reinforce these organs. therefore, with the
purest and most potent of all vegetahlt tonics and
alteratives, viz: HOSTETTER'S STOMACH. BIT
TERS. The effect of this matchless invigorant is to
brace up the whole vital organization, and regulate
its action. Useful at all seasons as a means of pro
moting perfect digestion, an even and natural flow
of bile, and a healthy condition of the bowels and
tin skin, it is especially necessary in the Fall when
the complain a arising from checked nerspiration
are so common. It is found, by those who me in the
habit of using this agreeable and unequalled tonic,
that It so etrengtaces and fortifies the body as to
rends r it proof :gains•. the morbid influences which
infect the air during the prevalence of epidemics.
DISEASED LUNGS
There is no donut whatever that diseases of the
lungs, or ulcers Of whatever sort, on and of tue In
teroal organs may - be and are frequently cured, and
a complete condition of health established. If the
elaborative funetions, of which the stomach Is the
primary and most important one, are restored to a
condition to dolthe repairing of the bum-in system,
ulcers or sores,tweether upon the lungs the liver,
the kidneys or the bowels, or upon the legs, as is
frequently the case, can be mace to heal, and a
complete standard of health - re-established.
We have frequently seen these results from the
use of Dr. REYSE it'd LUNG CURE, a pleasant
and agreeable medicine, which will ripen up and
carry out the animal economy all effete and used up
material. Dr. KEYSER'S LUND CURE Is enrich
ed by some of the most valuable plants and herbs
known to be useful and curative lo ail deteriorated
states of the human blood, and whilst It adds to Its
plasma, it at the same time stimalates, gently but
effectively, the skin, the kidneys; 'the liver and the
glandular system to sufficient action to 'enable the
body to take on healthfhl action and eradicate the
disease. The sick and afflicted should bear in mind
the virtues of thts great medlcinc. and If thoile who
arc sufficiently allve to the impedance of, health,
will resort to betn the beginning de cli ner s ' h or cold,
there would no, failing into and rapid
