Butler's time expired, Beek appealed to tho Mouse not to pass the bili; not to consign those States to reck? less adventurers; not nrm a negro constituency against peaceful white inhabitants; but rather leave these States under the protection of the troops of tho United States.

The following ia a copy of Gonoral Blair's letter of neoeptance of tho Democratic nomination fpr vice-Pre? sident, which hos just been received here: Oeil. George TT. Morgan, Ghair.nan of tho Committee of fa National ' jjemoovalic Convention. G -5NEKAL : I take the earliest op? portunity of replying to your letter notifying me of " my nomination for vice-President of the United States, by the National Democratic Conven? tion, recently held in the city of New i York. I accept without hesitation the nomination tendered in a manner so gratifying, and give you and the ommittee my thanks for the very j kind and complimentary language in which you haye conveyed to me the decision of the Convention. I have carefully read the resolu? tions adopted by the Convention, and .most cordially concur in every principle and sentiment they an? nounce. i My opinion upon all the questions which discriminate the great con? tending parties have been freely ex? pressed on all suitable occasions, and I do not deem it necessary nt thia time to reiterate them. The issues upon which the contest turns are clear and cannot be ob? scured or distorted by the sophis? tries of our adversaries. They all resolve themselves into tho old and ever recurring struggle of a few men to absorb the political power of the nation. This effort, under everj conceivable name and disguise, has always characterized tho opponents of the Democratic party, but at n< time has the attempt assumed i shape so open and daring as in th ii contest. The adversaries of free an< constitutional government, in de fiance of tho express language of th Constitution, have erected a militar; despotism in ten of tho States of th Union; have taken from the Presi dent the power vested in him by th' supremo law, and have deprived th Supreme Court of its jurisdiction the right of trial by jury and th great writ of right, the habeas corpiu shields of safety for every citizen and whioh have descended to u from the earliest traditions of oo ancestors, and which our revolution ary fathers sought to secure to thei posterity forever, in the fundament* charter of our liberties, have bee ruthlessly trampled under foot b the fragment of a Congress; whol States and communties of people < our race have been attainted, coi victed, condemned and deprived < their rights as citizens, without pr? soutment or trial or witnesses, bi by Congressional enactment of < post facto laws, and in defiance of tl Constitutional prohibition denyir even to a full and loyal Congress tl authority to pass any bill of attaind or ex postfacto law. The same usur ing authority has substituted i olectors, in place of the men of 01 own race thus illegally attainted ai disfranchised, a host of ignorant n groes, who were supported in idlene with the public money, and combim together to strip the white race their birth-right, through the m nagemcnt of Freedmen's Burea and emissaries of conspirators other States; and, to complete t oppression, the military power the nation has been placed at tin disposal, in order to make tl barbarism supreme. Tho milita leader under whose prestige tl usurping Congress has taken rofng since tho condemnation of th schemes by the free people of t North, in the elections of the li year, and whom they have select as their candidate to shield the selves from the result of their o1 wickedness and crime, has announc his acceptance of the nomination a his willingness to maintain th usurpations over the 8,000,000 white peoplo at the South, fixed tho earth with his bayonet. He claims: "Lot us have peace." "Pc reigns in Warsaw," was the 1 nounoomont whioh heralded tho do of tho liberties of a nation. "'J empire is peace," exclaimed Bo parte, when freedom and its fenders expired under the sharp e< of his sword. Tho peace to wh Grant invites us is the peaco despotism and death. Those \ seek to restore tho Constitution the will of the people, condemn the Reconstruction Acts already nounced in the elections of last y< (and which will, I am convinced, still more emphatically oxpressed the election of tho Democratic c didato as President, of tho Uni States,) are denounced as revoluti ists by tho partizaus of this vim tivo Congress. Negro suffrage (wi: tho popular vote of New York, ? Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Mi gan, Connecticut aud other St have condemned as expressly aga the letter of tho Constitution,) n stand, because their Senators Representatives have willed it. the peoplo shall again coudomn tl atrocious measures by tho elcctio tho Democratic candidate for Pi dent, they must not be disturl Although decided to be unconsl tional by the Supreme Court, although the President is swor maintain and support the Const tion, tbe will of a fraction of a ( gress, reinforced with its part emissaries sent to the South, and (supported there by the soldiery, must stand against the will of the peoplo, and tho decision of tho Su? preme Court, and the solemn oath of; the President to maintain and sup? port tho Constitution. It is revolu? tionary to_ execute tho will of the people; it is revolutionary to execute the judgment of the Supreme Court; it is revolutionary in the President to keep inviolate his oath to sustain the Constitution. This false construc? tion of tho vital principle of our Go? vernment is the last resort of those who,,would have their arbitrary re? construction sway and supersede our time-honored institutions. The na? tion will say the Constitution must be restored and the will of the peo? ple again prevail. The appeal to the peaceful ballot to attain this end is not War, is not revolution. They make war and revolution who attempt to arrest this quiet mode of putting aside military despotism and the usurpations of a fragment of a Con? gress, asserting absolute power over that benign system of regulated liberty left us by our fathers. This must be allowed to take its course. This is the only road to peace. It will come with the election of the Democratic candidato, and not with the election of that mailed warrior, whose bayonets are now at the throats of 8,000.000 people iu the South, to compel them to support him as a candidate for the Presidency, and to submit to the domination of an alien raco of semi-barbarous men. No perversion of truth, or audacity of misrepresentation, can exceed that which hails this candidate in. arms as an angel of peace. I am, very respectfully, your most obedient servant.Q FRANK P. BLAIR. A short time since, a gang of rob? bers ran off with a locomotive and express ear, on a railroad in Indiana. When they attempted to open the car, they were fired upon by the guards, aud ono of them dangerously wounded, the others running away. Three of them were subsequently captured, and yester? day, while being conveyed to Sey? mour, a mob stopped the train, overpowered the guard, took out the robbers and hung them. Grant and Sherman have both said Blair ?.was the ablest of the vo? lunteer officers in the late war, and both asked for him as a General to command a corps, which, with the well known prejudices of these men against volunteers, is the highest testimony to his merits as a com? mander. The Raleigh (N. C.) Sentinel, re? ferring to Holden's message to the Legislature, on the subject of arming a militia force in that State, says ii the Legislature succumbs in this matter, let the bill have the proper title: "A bill to inaugurate war and organize Pandemonium in North Carolina." j SAD DEATH.-We regret to chroni ole tho unexpected death of Mrs. Harper, the young and beloved wife of Rev.

Wo regret to learn that Mr. James Ikuer's only son, some three years old, while at play in the yard, took fire, and, no one hoing present but a little negro child about tho same age, the little boy was so badly bumed as to cause his death in two hours.-Marion Crescent. The Helena (Ark.) Clarion, of the 9th, says: The ?th was celebrated here by a "perseshun" of about 76% (averogo) field hands, worth under the old regime perhaps Si,250 each, but now worth-less. A subscriber writes that he takes no stock in the "New Woman's Club.", He says that the "old Wo? man's club" is enough for' him. and frequently too much. The wheat crop is finished in near? ly all parts of Indiana, and is de? cidedly tho best they have had for a long time. Corn, too, promises an exceedingly heavy yield.
