We give much of our space,
to-day, to- the proceedings Of
the Republican party IN Hans
cock county, Virginia; and we
most earnestly hope that every
voter on every hilltop andsin
every valley Of our oppressed
western Virginia will faithfully
read and carefully digest the
many startling and interesting
facts which these proceedings
disclose. Whilst we have new.
er endorsed that party, yet It IS
but sheer justice to admit that
there is more truth than poetry
in many things asserted in the
preamble and resolutions Of our
neishbors in Hancock county.
We publish them, frs, because
they defend the rights OF the
people ofwestern Virginia; and,
secondly, because they form a
part of the current news OF this
section of Virginia. The peo-
pie want facts on both sides; and
inasmuth as the democratic
newspapers in this ''neck %
woods" are conceaIing all the
important. facts, in the premises,
We shall DO our hest to spread
facts before the people. Call
us republican if you please
nay, call US an abolitionisr, or
even a traitor, and wen neea 4,
not; we hope not TO be
called a democrat, while that
party stands out as the open and
ayowed friend of the proud op'
pressors of western VlrSlnlans!
JfaboIitionism consists in lnclt>
ing TO rebellion, or in a resist
ance of the laws, there are none
such in n. w. Fa.,-no, mol
eren in the Panhandle! But /!

pie OF western Virginia claim
ing their rights at the hands Of
their eastern BRETHREN lights
which they have long been de-
prived of-then, there are
thousands of such abolitiOnists
all over western Virginia.

Hike a man, and say that Mr..
Hunter made a foolish speech
to sustain. the new dogma OF
slavery propagandism, in which
he attempted to draw a picture
of the social system OF the
South-of Virginia, and made a
picture Of the master and slave;
foolishly said the master owned
all the labor, when, in fact, he
onl v embraced one-thirteenth OF
the freemen ofthe State in his
picture. If Hunter makes an
ass ofhimself, it is no reason you
should let your ears grow out.
If you will permit me, through
your columns, | will show to
the satisfaction of your readers
that Hunter, in his speech,
promulgates abolitionism in Vir-
ginia, infidelity, makes an insid-
ious attack on our free instltu>
tions, and favors monarchy.
A few words about other
things. l am now going to con-

ty as lately as any body in this
country; and Jackson's procla-
nation is acknowledged 10 be as
strong a Federal document as
any statesman of any school ev-
er published. This county is
Democratic, so is the State.
But you have forgotten that at
the last Presidential election,
Mr.. Buchanan had rear 400,
majority Of votes cast against
him by the freemen OF the Un>
tied States, and that there is
now about 30 majority against
him in the lower House of Con-

opionions? That the people Of
Western Virginia are as good
as the people Of Eastern Virgin
Virginia and ought to be equalo

the same reason for taxing a
two year old "nigger" that
there is for taxing a two year
old coli, and that all slaves
ought to be taxed ad valorem,
as all other property is taxed?
and that the democracy could
not be trusted on this subject?

the laborer been permitted to
have a share Of political poWer.
In the British Government
where the zaboring class have
some small share of political
power, the danger Of such con-
tests has been a source OF con-
slant anxiety" SC. Here is
his picture both of the constitu-
ton of the free States and the
British Government; determine
ed to force hrs theory, he points
to the small share the labormg
class has in the British Govern
ment. We all know that none
but the titled classes and The
free holders vote there, with
but few exceptions ; for these
free-holders to have a share in
the government (many OF whom
are laboring men like all our
Western Virginia farmers, he
regards frausht with "da''ger."
"Danger" is the word with
which he expresses his disappro'
baton. He then draws the pic
ture Of the government in the
slave States in these words
"But, Mr.. President, in our
system Of society, there is no
such danger. The contest be.
tween capital and labor is settled
in the constitution Of the house,
hold. II does not enter into the
Government. The master who
Yields the power of Governs
ment is interested both in labor
and capital, and it is his interest
to DO justice to both"
Can there be any installing
of this language, or this picture?
No such danger as what? As
when free labor has "a share in
political .power' as in
the free States and in England.
Why? Because the contest be-
tween capital and labor there, is
settled in the household here.
1t, that is, free labor, does not
enter into the Government. or
the contest; Git make no differ>
ence which.) The master,
stakeholder, or he who owns the
labor, YIELDS the power OF gov
eminent. Further proof OF the
assumption he makes in his arr
gument to prove that he ex-
presslv assumed that the slave
holder owned all the free labor
Of the State as well as slave,
would only "darken counsel
with words" He expresses
great doubt as to the success of
universal suffrage in The North
wishes it success, but thinks it
will fail, and to prove it, cites
"Shay's Rebellion" After he
gets thro' this part Of his argu-
ment, he makes the "bunkum"
part of his speech to catch the
boys, and speaks of the equality
aud social condition Of the
whites in the South, with uni>
versal suffrage. fletcher says
the slave system leaves the Jfee
LABOR class uneducated. ... .s.

I'VE the last quotation, your diff

part Of the paragraph thus -
"The conflict between capital
and labor is compromised and

Did any Wing from this Con.

Where is "dignity" and selt-re-
spect" now?
Speaking Of the approprla>
tons this winter, after a great
deal of decentralization, he says,
"the sIave-owning districts are
Wings districts, and it is COM
mon boast among the arrislo-
cratic Wings Of Richmond, that
they own all the slaves in tina
State" Is not the idea again
conveyed, that the Wings are
in a mgority in the Legislature,
and that the Democrats cannot
prevent these appropriations?
The fact is, the Democrats are
t,ro-thirds or very near, in both
Houses. 'The slave districts are
Wing districls,' says Mr.. D.
Where are the slave districts?
in the Valley, but principally
east of the Blue Ridge. There
has not been one member Of Con~
gress from either Tide Water,
Piedmont, or the Valley, for
twelve years, except Boteler
this winter from the Martins
burg district. If these districts
are Wing, how does it come
that every one of them has been
represented for the last twelve
years by Democrats in Congress?
You may say the Democratic
Legislature Gerrym1ndcred the
districts so as to give Democrats
the majority. | know they
Gerrymandered several ofthem.
but now, to screen yourself from
glaring duplicity, will you
charge your whole party with
rascality? .. &c.. ..,..f
You clearly convey the idea
that the Wings are responsible
for the great State debt. What
was the State debt twenty years
ago, since which time there has
been but one Wing Legislature
and one Wing Governor, i'll am
right? ] ask the old tax PAYS
ers, what was the comparison be-
tween your taxes then and now:
The whole Indebtedness Of the
State then if lrecollect right was
less than ten millions. Demo-
Gratis have had the power ever
since, and the liability Of the
State is S4O,OOO,O0O Before,
an election, ifit suits your pur>
pose, you cry, it is now as it
has always been, the fierce De-
mocracy always carries the
State. Is it fair, is it candid
now for you,by misreprepresen-
tation, to throw the blame Of
these reckless appropriations,
on the Wings? Ought not the,
power in authority TO bear the
responsibility? | submit the
whole matter to an impartial
public tribunal for decision.
One more word. You say,
''lf $4,000 was appropriated
this winter to educate slave
holders sons, it was done with
the assistance Of nearly all the
Wing votes in the Legislature,
and forthe benefit Of theWhigs."
What is the meaning you con-
vey by this sentence: 1t is
this-that 100000 was appro-
priated this winter to edu~
cate the sons of Wing slave
h olders. That nearly all the -
the Wings voted for il, &C.
