EnImuner's Ltter to Speaker Blain et Dear Sir: I have seen the letter addrnse'l to me by you throu-h the public prints, and I notico especially that while animadverting upon my suppoet of Horace Grecley you say not one word in vindication of that compound of pretentions known as Grantism in contradistinction to Re. publicanism which you would install anew in the government. You are greatly concerned about the company I keep. and to quiet your solicitude, I beg leave to say that in joining the Republicans who brought forward an origmnal abolitionist, I found myself with so many ot hers devoted to "the cause I have served that I had not missed you until you hastened to re. port absence; nor hadl I taken ac count of the Southern secessionist, who as you aver are now co-operating with ine in supfort of this original abolitioniet, exoept to rejoice that if -a1n' former associates some like yoursolf besitate, their places are sup. plied in in unexpeeled quarter. You entirely misunderstand me when you introduce an incident of the past, orid build on it an argument why I should not support Iorace Greeley. What has Pieston Brook, to do with t'h3 Presidtnt.iaml election ? Never, while a sufferer, did any one hear trio speak of him in unkindne-s, and now, after the lapse of more than -half a generation, T will not unite with you in dragging him 'from the grave where he sleep.', to aggravate the passivns of .politicai conflict and nrrcst the longing fou concord ; and here ii the essential difference be-. tween you and mte at this jnn-ttAre. I scizo the opportunity to iako .the egud rights of all men through peace and re conciliation, but this infinite boon you wtould postpone.. Seven years have paz.'ed since we laid aside our arms, but unhappily, -during all this period there has been a hostile spiriL towards cach o'her, while the rights of colored fellow citizens have 'been in perpetual question, Seven years mark a natural period of human life ; should not the ipirit be changed with the bodys Can we not after seven years commence a new life, o.poeially when these once our 'foes repeat the sanlog, "Thy people shall be my people and thy God my God." I declare my preference for an original abolitionist as President, and y, u seek to create a divi.ion by crying out that Democrats will sup' Jirt h-i) -to which I reply eo much the better. Their support Is the as surance that the cause he has so cona stantly guarded, whether of equal rights or reconciliation, is accepted by Democrats, and this is the judge of a true niion beyond anything in our history. It is a victory of ideas without which all other victories must fail. To intensify your allegation, you insist that I am ranged with Jeff'erson D~avis and Robt. Toomnbs, but pardon mie, nobody knows bow the former will vote, while Robert Tlonmbs Is boistrous against [borace Grecley and with him nre Stephens, WVise and Mesby. This is all very poor, and I monition it only to exhibit the chiar actor of your attempt. In the same spirit youi seek to avoid the real issue by holding up the possibility of what you call a Democratic Ad ministrn tion, and you have the courage to assert, as within my knowledge, that by theO election of Ihorace G reeley, Congress is banded over to the con trol of thme party wvho have positively den ied the rights of the black man. You say that I know this. Mr. Speaker I kowi no such thing, and youi should be suflicietly thouimghtftul not to assert it. I anm entirely satis fied that a canivass like thme present, whero the principles declared at Cin.. etunnati are opently necepted Otn one sidle, and not contested on theo other, must result in a larger number of Congressiotnal Representatives sint cerely devoted to the rights of the colorod citizens than ever before. The Democrats will be pledged as never before to the ruling princlple that all meni are eqnal before the law, and also to thte threeo cnstitutional amenidmtent., with the clause in eacht empowering Congress to enforce the same b~y approptlate legislation, lie. sidles the l)emnocrats there will be Liberal Republicans pledged likewise, and also your pecutliar associates who, I trust, will not betray thme cause. Senators and Representatives, call ing themselves Re publicans, have been latterly ini a large majority in both houses, but the final measure of civil rights to which you refer though urg ed by me almiost daily, has failed to become a law, less I fear from Deo era tio opposition than Republican lukewarmness and the want of sup pert in the P'resident. T he great issue which the people are e.,led to upon decide in November is on the PrsMdn+, ardn.obodya. k,.m... better than yourself that the House of Repretentatives chosen at the same time will naturally harmonize with him, so it has been in our history. Now hirmony with Horace Greeley involves what I moet desire. With such a President Congress will be changed. For the flist time since the war the equal rights of all will have a declared representative at the head of the government whose presence there will be of a higher significance than that of auy victor in war, being not only a tebtimony but a constant mo. Live power ini this greatenuse. Oppo sition, Whethet- open hostility or more subtle treachery, will yield to the steady influence of such a represeita tive. Therefore in looking to the President I look also to Congress which will take its cbaracter in a c large measure from him. l choosiig Horace Greeley we do the best we can for the government, not only in the executive but in the legislative branch, while we decline to support nepoti.m, paymen't of personal gifts by official patronage, seizure of the war powers, indignity to the black re jublic, also the various incapacities xhiibited by the President and the rings by which he governs, none of wbich can you defend. You know hmt the Rings are already condemned by the American people. For my. <elf, I say plainly and without besita- 1 Lion, that I prefer Horace Greeley, v ivith any Congress possible on the li C'ineinnati platform, to President I Lrant, with his pretensions and his t Rings, a vote for whoim involves the mupport of all his pretensions with prolonged power in all the Rings. i Ibere must be another influence and E mother example. The Administra. f ion in all its parts is imprcssed by a he li esident. Let his soul be enlurg- a -d with the sentimnent of justice.and h luickened by industry, not only tihe 'wo Houses of Congress, but the vhule country, will feel the ir esistia de authority overspreading, pervad. ng and permeating everywhere. r rherefore, in proportion as you are arnest for the rights of the colored -itizens and place them above all par izan triumph, )ou will be glad to upport the candidate whose heart lims mdways throbbed for hunmnity. '[he ountry needs such a motive power in t lie %VWhite House ; it needs it gonter >usfountain there. In one word, it f aeeds somebody different from the present incum bent, and nobody knows 'j this botter than Speaker Blaine. The personal imputation you make ipon me, I repel with the indignation >f an honest man. I was a fAithfuil mtpporter of the President until sotle what tardily awakened by his painful onduct in the Island of San Domingot involving neizure of the war power in violation of the Constitution aind in. Iignity to the black repu'lio in viola ioni of the international law, and wben I remonstrated against these in. tolerable outrages, I was set upon by N those acting in his behalf. Such is the origin of my cpposition. I could lot have done less without failure, in I .hat duty which is with le the rule of lifeI nor can I doubt that when par Lisan sentiments ate less active, you will regret the wrong you have done r me. Me-inwhile, I appeal confidently to the candid judgment of those who amidst all present diflerenecs of opn I Ion unlitO in tile great object far above 1 party or President, to whichimy life is devoted.

The election in North Carolina ap pears, fortunately, to have passed off peacefully, so far at least as is known ip to the present time. The result is yet in doubt, although the indica. tions point to an incrcased conserva tive vote over that of 1870, when the democratio candidate for Attorney General was elected by nearly five thousand majority. The counties where the heaviest negro vote is poll ed, and ishere facilities exist for frauds such as have been charged as in contemplation, have not yet bee t heard from. At the same time, some ( of the strongest conservative counties are still wanting, and with the meagre returns at hand it is unsafe to hazard a prediction as to the result. it I seelus incredible that the administr - tion republicans can have suffer d defeat in a State where every advao tage has been on their side 1 whore they have concentrated gigantic efforts I t> ensure success; where they hav'O held majorities every since the close of the war, with a single exception, varjing from nine to twenty-thred r thousaud. Yet, as we have said, thero appears to ha.v3 been a steady t increase thus far in the conservatives I majorities over the vote of 1870, and hence it is not improbable that the State may have declared itself in ad- I vance in favor of the reform move ment in Noveml e - If thisshould prove to be the case v it will no doubt he regarded general- < ly as settling the Presidential con < test. Indeed. the republicans, by the vigor and bitterness of their cenvasq, have signifi.d their ecnviction that a defeat in North Carolina at this time t would render their ultimate success ( hopeless. Senator Wilson himself i has admitted in his speeches that the 1 election of the republican State tick- t et was essential to the cause of Presi- I dent 0rant ; that wititout it there q would be little hope for the adminis- t tration. l.jdcr these cireumstanoes, I and in view of the fact that the whole t machinery of the election, the entire foderal andstate patronage, the courts, I the military, the police and the Uni- ( ted States mar.-hals were in the u hando of the republicans, we cannot s think that the administration has been overthrown. To credit such a d calamity would be to believe that the t Presidential election is destined to m be a deluge, sweeping away the exist. p ing powes and mn ah1ing a complete r revolution in the government. Ir, I however, the result should be as fore. n shadowed from the general tono of t our dispatuhes, it will be due to the unfortunate policy of the political in a beeles who suirround and control ' President Gaant ; due to the refusal t of the administration republicano in i Congress t) allow the country to re- < turn to peace ; due to their attempt to crush the white citizens of the Southern States under the heel of military power and negro rule ; due to the incendiary appeals of Boutwell and others to the passions of the negro race I (due to the unforttinatw foreign policy of Secretary Fish ; duo to the financial biunders of the Secretary of the Treasury, who has forced our credit. in Europe, depleted the country of gold, and kept up imaginary balan ees In the national Tlreasury by ficti tious returns --N.
