Per. «THURSDAY, OCTORER 99, 1898, ‘There is one light tn which the Broadhead Jotter of Gen. Fraycis P. Buar, Jr, has not been presented to the public, which feems to ns much the most important of all, ‘That letter bears date anly four days be fore the meeting of the National Democratic Convention in New York. Tho motive Is avowed in the letter itself It was to put Gen. Bi \1n's friends in possession of bis po- Utica! sentiments, so that they might decide ‘understandingly whether to bring his name Yefore the Convention. It is reasonable to suppose that the letter was written with the expectation of improving Gen, Brain's chance for the nomination for President, It may be wegarded as matter of history that it did secure to him tho nomination for Vice President, The office of Vico Prosident, though a dig nifled and Lonorable position in itself, ix chiefly Important on account of the possibil Ity that the occupant may become President. After the occurrence three times in the last twenty-eight years of the contingency pro vided for by the Constitution, upon the hap- pening of which the Vice-President becomes President, that possibility can no longor be Fegarded as so remote and unlikely to occur ‘8 not to be of practical importance. It is Just to Gen, BLam to believe that his letter, under the circumstances in which At wow written, must have Leen the product of due deliberation on his part, if not of conference and consultation with his friends Oue of the merits of Geu, Lin's style of composition Is its perspieuity, He is aeldom or never difficalt to comprehend, Whatever ho has to say, he says boldly, and ao that it may be Jearly understood, is acouspicuous trait in his character, never heard any o His sincerity We » question his intention to cerry into ection, in good faith, If the opporte afforded him, ry We muke no doubt that hiv letter was honestly written, and with a determined purpose to carry into wha er les he avowed, effect the sentiments which it expresses, Mould he ever be y! od inn offelal yx giving him the requisite power. If, on an examination of this letter, made in a fair, judicial epirit, we find it to be a naked proposition to commit the highest crime known to the law, Wwe should be want- ing in our duty to the voters of the country were we to neglect to call their attention to ite character and design. As we have indicated, there is no difficulty in understanding the letter. It is impossible to mistake its purport and its purpose, Gen, BLaim proposes to the party which he has joined to take possession of the Goy- ernment, He portrays the impossibility of obtaining control of all its branches through the peaceful agency of the ballot. He can- not change the political complexion of the Senate as soon as he would like to. He pro- poses—nas he cannot regularly control the upper House of Congress—thut the legisla- Hon of Congress shall be “overthrown” — that is his word—“ overthrown,” He writes” “There ts vo possibility of changing the political character of the Senate, even if the Democrats should elect their President and a majority of the popular branch of Congress. We cannot, theretore, undo the Radical plan of revonstruction by Con. gres*lonal action: the Senate would coutinue at to its repeal, Must we submit to it? alow enn it be overthrown fr" “Overthrown” is the expression which Let it be borne in mind that the plan which he proposes to over throw © Gen, BLarn uses, asists of a series of statutes, passed by the Congress of the United States with extraordinary unanimity, receiving the ve of more than two-thirds of the members both | of the Senate and the House of Representa. tives, and sanctioned by all the forms of legislation prescribed by the Constitution, It is ofa plan thus adopted by the Govern- ment of the country that Gen, Blair asket How can it be overthrown ?” Having propounded the inquiry, he goes | on to answer it with great plaluness, The | Plan cannot be undone, he admits, by Con- gressional action ; it cannot Le repealed, He then solemnly declares: “ here is but one way.” And that way is“ for te President to declare these acts null and void,” and to “disperse he * * State Governments” which | have been organized under and by virtue of them, He asserts that his party “must” ac. complish their purposes by “trampling in the dust” the acta “kuown as the Recon- struction acts,” Gen. BLAIR is a man of great intelligence, a lawyer, a statesman, and asoldier, When ho talks about dispersing State Governments, army may assist him in forming an estimate of the force which will be required to dis. tion in which he invites the voters to whom of the Calted States, because he finds it im- the laws of the United Statos, to overthrow them, and to trample them in the dust, the means to conjecture; but an armed force parently count on account of his letter, is not original, ror | but ie they proceed to entry eed tntention Into exe cation by force, that they are guilty of the treason of | levying war, and the quantum of the force employed neither inereases nor diminishes the erie ; whether hy one hundred or one thonsand persons is wholly immatertal.'* Compare Gen.

We would detract nothing from the fame of Gen. Brain's pagt career. He helped to give to freedom that interesting and impor. tant central State where the two great rivers of tho West unite; and we wonld that tho memory of that good deed shonld be pro- served as long as their waters shal! mingle and flow together.

BLA was a capable, brave soldier for the Union; An NOLD was @ better one until bis attempt to betray West Point, Brain was oa trasted friend of LINCOLN ; 80 was ARNOLD trusted as 4 friend of WastIneton, Brain is a candi- date for the office of Vice-President; Bonn held that offlee when he treason Gen, BLA says he wishes to this platform.” the Courts, it would seem to be much safer to stand upon this platform than to move dreamed of carrying his policy into execu- tion, except by an armed force. Powerful are Perse these State Governments. But that is not the only undertaking on which he offers to enter, he appeals. He proposes also to trample in the dust and overthrow acta of the Congress possible to repeal them ; acts enacted with the usual forms and solemnities, and possessing all the foree and virtue of laws of the United States, and which are in every respect laws of the United States, What armed military force would be required successfully to resist past history of the country affords us no which proved entirely inadequate to accom- plish this purpose—now revived by Gen. Blair—was the whole armed force of the rebellion. We see no reason to anticipate a more auspicious result to an insurrection undertaken now, unless it be that Blair iv an ablor leader than Lee.
