Blaine made a briel political speech on 'Chang to d:iy, urging on men and boys an improvement ol western navigable-rivers. navigable-rivers. In a political speech this evening, reh-rring to Charles Francis Adams' lettar, he said: Mr. Adam goes oui of his way quite gratuitously to speak of myself in a tone that ic personally otlenaive. I have neither time nor deire to exchange person ill ties with any one in this cam paign, but there is a very important chapter in the life of Mr. Adams hich at this time should be recalled commend the facts which I am about to si t forth to those voters who may be led by the "sound ot Mr. Adams' name to give heed to his counsel. I sh:tll speak from record.-. .mil hv the record. Alter the renuhh- cin victory ol ISoO, which resulted in the election ot Abraham Liucoin to the presidency, Adam, then a representative in congre-s Irum Mjss., sought with all his ltifiuetico to deprive de-prive the country of everything th tt nad been settled by lh;t election. Ii rras that slavery anou'd he put m the course of extinction by protnbitiug its introduction in free territory, and yet is soon as the southern demo crls id congress b;gan tneu threats of disunion, Mr, Adams' knees smote wilti fear and nis touyiu 'K-come palsied for any utterance ex-i-ept in support of eUvery. Hip wnole course during tlie cl tsmg session ses-sion of tli- ;jjin congrevi, intervening net ween Mr. Ll ileum's elect ion? and his inauguration, was one of tretson to the cause t liberty and dertion from the came ot trie 'Union. He jflertd every humih.iting concession to the soutli. agreed Uj ahanbon the prohibition of a.-tvery in in terri-torief terri-torief ; and. t a climax ot tim d'-nr.vd ing and dUhunonng conditions, he otkred V jineinl toe contlitulioo oi the United .j tales to rtrndr tne .ibo-ntion .ibo-ntion ol nl.tvcry impofshle, en lonn us a Binxli slave ni.tte snouid object. Clie amendment w.is wanmy urgl bj Mr. Adams, who declared in tlh-ct that no amendment Ui the consli union in any w.y interfering with slavery in t lie Btatea atiould ever be even BO much as oppMeU, except by one of the slave states, and ahoulil not be adopted except with the con sent of very slave nlate. When in 1838 Arkarmia appltl for adnnsaion into tne Union with a constitution wn:ch forever prohibited tiie ieisl-t lurt from touctiwig alavcry , exeepl with the consent of Muve lio.ders, Jnlm Quiniy Admin dee tared IMut such provjpiuu Wia inhtmotis bt-yond tlie power ol erpreusion, and yet Cnarlea Francis Adams in 18Jl,of!ered and urgent and entrealed and plead lor an ameudrnent to tho consiuution of the United Sit .tie which applied to the whole country, tar more infumoMt in principle tnau was contained in the ArkaiiM.ts cn.iiitulton of 18 'JO Every franchise you enjoy utjder tlie coustilullon, thu riiint tu Vole, freedom of religious oiinion, (rial by jury, the riht even Uj representation, were left open to Change by the ordinary ordi-nary prongs of mending the cuijnti union, but Mr. Ad-mis proponed to give slavery a far more sacred gimr-anlf,0 gimr-anlf,0 than had ever been given to hbrtv. and to enihrin? it an hoihh- thiriK of aupenor right, placing it beyond the power ol !CJ liXKiia ol thfae people of the UinteJ rtlatia tf hIkiIihIi it uul- a ilavs ntatn mbnulil propfje it, and every other slave male votn for it.

Lincoln did not believe God would permit the perpet- uity of a union founded on such! atrocious wrong and crime. In Mr. Adams' course toward Mr. Liucoin iu ! his grave, the friends of Gov. Hayes 1 will estimate his criticism ol that honored leader and true man, at pre-1 cisely its great value, but tor the honor of .New Englai.d ideas, say that of all her representatives, Mr. Adams stood alone, I think, in supporting this infamous proposition. Every , other Massachusetts representative! was opposed to it, including Hon. Alexander H. Rice, the present rc- puhlican governor of tho state, aud the candidate) for reelection against j Mr. Adams; indeed, Irom 'all New-England, New-England, as I have alrcacy said, in that hour of supreme trial, no other republican proved false to her prin , ciplea and her teachings, save he only whose inheritance should have made him the loremost defender ot the right, and after Mr. Adams had made this fearful olTcr of tho eternal permanence of slavery to the vanity ol democratic ditmnionista of tho Homh, he superadded toil in a formal speech, the intimation that if it was' not acceptable to tho south he might himself favor some scheme of disunion, dis-union, if it could be of a peaceable character, aud now, with this record, Mr. Adams naturally and properly supports Tilden, and the lengths he wculd go to conciliate the cal democratic element may be inferred from the extent to which he was willing to go in ISOi, when he was ready and eager on tne heels ol a national republican victory to con cede more to the slave interest than its extreme fire-eating advocates had ever demanded in congress. Imagine it you can, tell me if you wiil one possible condition the south wou;d impose on the legislation ot congress, that Adams would not gladly support, one possible exaction tlie reoel democrats demo-crats could make that Adams would not gladly concede U ould ho hesitate hesi-tate at auythi. g a solid south would demand? Would ho interpose his influence against the payment o( any amount of rebel claims? Would be, i ask in all sincerity, ever enter his protest against taking the right of suflrage from tho colored men whose hopeless aud endless enslavement he o lately advocated? When Massachusetts Massa-chusetts forgets the republishing of John Quincy Adams she will elect his son governor of the proud old commonwealth. com-monwealth. I have said I had uo time and no desire for personalities. If I had, I might readily indulge myself at Mr.' Adams' expense. Tne personal and political gossip at Washington in 1671 was busy with Mr. Adams' name, tnd it was currently said that he obtained tlie missiou to England in a manner and by means wnich he would now eiadly consign to oblivion, and which bis children would blush u have repealed. 1 have no disposition tu indulge in that hue of gorsip, and prefer to confine my criticisms tu Mr. Adams' record on public q leotions, nor have I any wi-h to comment on bis ulter disregard of the ditlerence ol principles lelween the great political parties, standing as he has for years, ready to accept a nomination from eilner! alill le dn I deMre. til rcluarse the asoiimed belief in certain quarUr-tuat quarUr-tuat Admii)' caiididacy ot Km duino 'ratio party wan ibw rt.fi lit ol a riiuUr birgiun between himself and Mr. Id-den, Id-den, in wni' h Mr. Adams agreed t. give the re.-pectability of ht name to tno democratic party, and Mr. liiduii agretd, if e!-;i te I, to inane Mr. Adams his secretary ol s'..tc.
